Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lupin III: Island of Assassins, with the original Japanese title In Memory of the Walther P-38, is the ninth of the Lupin III Yearly Specials, and was released in 1997. It was directed by Toshiya Shinohara and Hiroyuki Yano, who also helped co-direct Lupin III: Dead or Alive alongside Monkey Punch. It has been released in English by Funimation as a single disc in 2005 and as part of the "Final Haul" boxset in 2006. In 2016, Discotek Media announced that they were doing a re-release in the future, which arrived a year later on Blu-Ray.Inspector Zenigata has been called to a millionaire's elaborate birthday affair by one of Lupin's infamous calling cards, but when the titular thief arrives and is surrounded, he claims he didn't send it! As he attempts to escape, the mansion is suddenly raided by unknown assailants, the guards murdered, and the host assassinated. Zenigata eventually corners his longtime rival in the chaos, but ends up shot by someone wielding an elaborately decorated Walther P-38.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Furious at Zenigata's shooting and recognizing the gun that did it as one once belonging to him, Lupin finds out the identity of the mystery assailants: Tarantula, a network of world-renowned assassins. They live on an unmarked island together, kept in check by a special tarantula tattoo; if an assassin is away from the special gases native to the island for too long, they will slowly be poisoned by it. He and Fujiko go there and are branded by the assassins, becoming part of their organization. They, along with the behind-the-scenes Jigen and Goemon, become entwined with an impending island rebellion, the complex scheme of Tarantula's mastermind, and, most importantly, the mystery wielder of the gun from Lupin's past. With help from Elen, an assassin seeking revenge for the death of her brother, Lupin and his gang must find a way to stop Tarantula for good.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Complete spoilers below — don't read further if you don't want to know how this caper turns out! | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Lupin III: Island of Assassins / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In the scene where Lupin swipes Ellen's pendant, he opens it and reads the inscription: "Look up to the sky, Elly, it's beautiful." Later in the film, she gets cornered in the basement, by the security team at the satellite control center. So Lupin plays her pendant's musicbox, causing her to recall the inscription and look up in time to notice the ventilation duct above her, just as he drops a set of live wires into the water to electrocute the guards. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Lupin's pretty light on his feet and knows how to handle himself 1-on-1. But up against 10+ highly trained assassins, while they had him surrounded and attacking him all at once? There was only one way that was gonna end. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Most of the deaths occur just off camera, usually only allowing you to hear blades piercing the the victims' bodies, along with a bit a bloodspray. Or simply seeing an arm in the foreground, or their backs slumped against the wall, as the victims collapse from being riddled with gunfire. | |

Government Conspiracy | |
| Lupin III: Island of Assassins / int_5a4aa505 | comment |
Government Conspiracy: The island's location is unmarked on any map, as the world's major governments all have a vested interest in keeping it hidden: because the Tarantulas are their private hit squad. So there's a weapons satellite in place that's been programmed to shoot down any ships that come near the island, or attempts to leave it without authorization. Which Lupin reveals is the secret of the Bermuda Triangle. | |

Driven to Suicide: After finally being freed of Gordeau's control as she'd been lead to believe, Ellen was determined that she'd never become his prisoner again. So when she gets cornered by the security at the satellite base, she put her own gun beneath her chin and nearly pulled the trigger. Interrupted Suicide: She would've gone through with it had Lupin not played the musicbox hidden in her pendant, at that moment. Which gave her a reason to keep living. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
| Lupin III: Island of Assassins / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: NOT Fujiko... for once! Instead, it's Doc who backstabs (in order of betrayal): Years prior to the start of the film, he was Lupin's original partner, before meeting Jigen. He ended their partnership the day he double-crossed Lupin, during one of their getaways, by shooting him with his own Walther P-38. Which is how Lupin knew who shot Zenigata. He also spent years pretending to be Ellen's friend, when he was just using her and the other defectors. Once he no longer needed them, he conspired with Gordeau to have all of them killed. And finally turned on Gordeau, himself, knowing well in advance that Gordeau was planning to do the same. Doc had already beaten him to it by giving him the fake antidote, then shot him point-blank, while he was suffering the effects of the toxin. | |

Left Hanging: At the end of the special, Lupin and Fujiko still have the poisoned tattoos stuck on them, which means they have to keep the gasses from the island around (they do so by loading some on a blimp) or they'll die. It's left unclear if they'll be able to recreate Doc's actual antidote to cure themselves of the poison. | |

Made a Slave: Bomber and the others have no choice but to work for Gordeau, because the toxin in their tarantula tattoo ensures they can never leave the island. And since he's the only one who knows the antidote for it, they have to follow his orders. Plus, they're intimidated by him because he can kill any or (or all) of them with ease. | |

Still, the closest he gets is when she thanks him for the brief moment they shared off the island, which was her first taste of freedom. Said with her dying breath. | |

Make an Example of Them: Shortly after Lupin first arrives on the island, he witnesses one of the Tarantula's "manhunts", where they hunt and kill one of their former members. Ellen explains that it was because he failed to carry out his assignment. | |

| Lupin III: Island of Assassins / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: When Lupin first meets Ellen, she's withdrawn and doesn't trust anyone because her father sold her and her brother into slavery, in order to buy booze. Which is how she eventually wound up being conscripted by the Tarantulas. All she'd ever known since then, was being treated as a tool, rather than a human being. | |

| Lupin III: Island of Assassins / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Fujiko belts Lupin for sending her to infiltrate the island on her own, without telling her what the Tarantulas were like; especially since he had assured her that he'd send to Goemon protect her. Goemon does eventually show up, but not until after Fujiko's life had been threatened. | |
