[edit] Summary
Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko are contacted by a Hong Kong gangster, Chin-Chin Chu, to steal a metal statue of a dragon lost when the Titanic sank. Lupin refuses to work for Chu, but retains in interest in the statue; his grandfather Arsène Lupin attempted and failed to steal it on that fateful voyage. The three decide to go after it on their own.
Unknown to them, the statue also contains the secret of making the impenitrable alloy that composes Goemon's fantastic katana, Zantetsuken. Goemon himself has also received word of the statue's location, and vows to retrieve it to keep his family's honor intact, even if his rival is his old ally Lupin. A childhood friend, Kikyo, assists him in his mission. When the statue is retrieved from the wreckage by Lupin, the three groups collide in an chaotic attempt to keep the statue for themselves.
[edit] Trivia
- The kabuki play Goemon attends during the film's opening is Sanmon Gosan no Kiri. It is considered to be the most famous play about the original Goemon Ishikawa.
