On the 11th April 2019 the world lost a genius of the anime world, Monkey Punch creator of Lupin the 3rd one of the most renowned creations in the medium, so today this review is in honour of Monkey Punch.
RIP Monkey Punch 1937-2019

Lupin is up to his usual cat and mouse antics between himself and Zenigata this time taking place in Brazil, but there is a religious cult known as the Nostradamus Sect in the middle of an operation to capture the daughter of business tycoon and presidential candidate Douglas.
Julia the daughter of Douglas just happens to be on the plane that gets hijacked along with Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko and the Brazilian soccer team. With Julia kidnapped Lupin goes to the great Earth building to try and find out what the kidnappers want, it turns out Douglas has the real book of Nostradamus and the Sect want it in exchange for his daughter and to resign his candidacy as President.
Knowing that his uncle almost succeeded in opening the vault, Lupin goes to his prison cell to try and obtain a means to get into the vault himself all the while being pursued by the sect.
Meanwhile the sect brainwashes the Brazilian soccer team to set up the bombs all around the Earth building.
After escaping his own near death, Lupin returns with his gang to try and get into the vault where the final act is played out.
It's classic Lupin action with the stakes much higher than a typical episode, it's fun, action packed and a little ridiculous.
The dub is top notch with some great work from Funimation.
If there's anything I didn't like it's probably the villains, their plan doesn't really make sense as one seems to want the World and the other wants it destroyed, which would've been fine if they weren't on the same team, fairly minor though and doesn't take away from the spectacle.
Final Verdict: Lots of fun and good old classic Lupin action, a worthy addition to the film series.
