Lupin the 3rd: Swallowtail Tattoo
ルパン三世 盗まれたルパン 〜コピーキャットは真夏の蝶〜• Lupin III: Nusumareta Lupin - Copycat wa Manatsu no Chou
Synopsis & Story
In the middle of an airborne heist, Lupin goes from stealing to stolen as he's carted off and forced to do a job for a mysterious man identifiable only by the brand of cigarette he smokes. Lupin's mission: to steal the infamous "Bull's Eye", a small green jewel best-known for the fact that everyone who's ever stolen it has ended up dead. Along with the challenge of alternately evading and pursuing a young thief with a competitive streak, Lupin and the gang must unravel the mystery of the Bull's Eye before its curse - or their mysterious taskmaster - gets the better of them.
