About Lupin the IIIrd The Movie: The Immortal Bloodline
Lupin the IIIrd The Movie: The Immortal Bloodline is the thirteenth feature film in the long-running Lupin the 3rd franchise and is noted as the final entry in director Takeshi Koike’s distinct Lupin the IIIrd saga. The movie is a prequel to the very first Lupin III film, The Mystery of Mamo, reusing some plot elements. It stands out as the first traditionally-animated solo Lupin the 3rd film in nearly three decades, offering a completely original story set within Koike’s established universe.
The plot sees gentleman thief Lupin III and his trusted allies, Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa XIII, and Fujiko Mine, following a mysterious invitation to an uncharted island. After their plane is shot down, the gang finds themselves hunted by the island’s inhabitants, past enemies, and a formidable immortal being named Muom, who poses a threat to Lupin’s legacy. As a toxic fog descends, Lupin faces his ultimate adversary in what promises to be his most daring escapade yet.
The film features the iconic Japanese voice cast, including Kanichi Kurita as Lupin III, Akio Ōtsuka as Daisuke Jigen, Daisuke Namikawa as Goemon Ishikawa XIII, Miyuki Sawashiro as Fujiko Mine, and Koichi Yamadera as Inspector Zenigata.
The Legacy of the Lupin the IIIrd Saga
Director Takeshi Koike has cultivated a distinct visual and narrative style across the Lupin the IIIrd series, which includes Lupin the IIIrd: Jigen’s Gravestone, Lupin the IIIrd: Goemon’s Blood Spray, and Lupin the IIIrd: Fujiko’s Lie. These films are known for their gritty, mature tone and stylized action sequences, differing from some other incarnations of the franchise. The Immortal Bloodline continues this tradition, blending Koike’s signature aesthetic with the pulp elements of Monkey Punch’s original manga.
Other Lupin III Content Available on Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video has consistently been a platform for various Lupin III titles. Other films and series like Lupin the 3rd vs. Cat’s Eye and Lupin the 3rd: The Mystery of Mamo have previously been available on the service, demonstrating its commitment to the franchise. This makes Amazon Prime Video a go-to destination for fans looking to delve into the adventures of the world’s greatest thief.
