Synopsis:

Lupin the 3rd Swallowtail Tattoo Blu-ray is an anime film directed by Hidehito Ueda.

WHAT'S LUPIN GOING TO STEAL WHEN SOMEONE STEALS LUPIN HIMSELF?

When Lupin targets a precious treasure, he finds himself abducted by the mysterious man Gauloise! With Fujiko as his hostage, Gauloise tasks Lupin with stealing the “Bull’s Eye” gemstone—infamous for the deaths of all its previous owners—from a heavily fortified museum. Becky, a teenage “copycat” who modeled her techniques on Lupin’s, competes with Lupin for the gem. But Lupin spies a familiar swallowtail butterfly tattoo on Becky’s arm. Could she be connected to his old partner, Cat? It turns out the Bull’s Eye is really a deadly distraction: Gauloise really wants the “Lupin Collection,” a legendary archive of all of Lupin’s loot!
