Lupin the 3rd: The Columbus Files
ルパン三世『愛のダ・カーポ ～Fujiko's Unlucky Days』• Lupin III: Ai no Da Capo - Fujiko's Unlucky Days
Synopsis
When Fujiko secures a file that documents the location of the fabled Columbus Egg– a mystical relic found by Christopher Columbus which can be harnessed to control the weather– she quickly recruits Lupin and the gang to track down the long-lost treasure. To prevent a sinister villain from finding the Egg, Fujiko memorizes the file and destroys it. Unfortunately, in the process, she contracts amnesia, changing her personality and wiping her memory of Lupin and his friends almost entirely. Can they restore Fujiko back to normal before the Egg falls into the hands of a madman? (Source: Discotek Media)
