Plot Summary

Lupin the IIIrd the Movie: The Immortal Bloodline is a 2025 Japanese animated action adventure directed by Takeshi Koike with a screenplay by Yūya Takahashi, based on the Lupin III manga by Monkey Punch. It is the thirteenth big-screen entry in the long-running franchise and a major new 2D animated theatrical release, arriving nearly three decades after the last traditionally animated standalone Lupin feature. The story finds master thief Lupin III and his crew — sharpshooter Daisuke Jigen, swordsman Goemon Ishikawa XIII, femme fatale Fujiko Mine, and relentless Inspector Zenigata — answering a cryptic invitation to a forgotten island that doesn’t appear on any map. After a violent encounter leaves the team stranded, they must face not only the island’s hostile residents but also an enigmatic immortal threat and unravel the secrets behind the treasure and the danger that lurks there. Produced by Telecom Animation Film and distributed by Toho Next, the film debuted in Japanese theaters on June 27, 2025, and is scheduled to reach North American cinemas in early January 2026. With its mix of action, humor, stylish animation, and enduring thieves-and-treasure thrills, The Immortal Bloodline will resonate with long-time Lupin III fans as well as newcomers seeking animated adventure.
