Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lupin III: The Last Job is the twenty-first Lupin III Made-for-TV Movie. It was directed by Tetsurō Amino, who previously directed the Sweet Lost Night special. It originally debuted on February 12, 2010, and has yet to have an English language release. Rather appropriately given the special's title, and a bit sadly for long-time Lupin fans, this is also the last TV Special to feature long-time voice actors Gorō Naya (Inspector Zenigata), Eiko Masuyama (Fujiko), and Makio Inoue (Goemon).note  These actors' official last appearance came in the Lupin Family All-Stars short featured on the Master Files DVD, released the next year.A lost cache of Hitler’s stolen plunder is discovered in Germany, and among the items is a gold avatar of Buddha. Inspector Zenigata is in charge of transporting it to Berlin because Lupin III has announced his intentions to steal the statue. Naturally, Lupin strikes, but he ends in failure when the sinister Morgana takes the treasure right out of his hands and adds insult to injury by killing Zenigata when the determined detective tries to get it back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Lupin decides the best way to honor Pops' memory is to complete the job. Sure enough, the statue itself isn't the true item of value, but has something contained within that leads to another and greater find. Combined with a number of other rare items, it will help reveal the location of "Fujin," a lost artifact of great value. In Lupin's way is not only Morgana and his eccentric cronies, but a rogue ninja from the lost Fuma clan who is determined to get the treasure for her own purposes. Will Lupin honor Zenigata's memory properly, or will this be his own last job?Complete spoilers below — don't read further if you don't want to know how this caper turns out!

comment
Anachronism Stew: The film plays seriously the idea that Roman scientists would have been able to build hi-tech technology such as robots, lasers and a black hole generator, though apparently it can't decide if he's talking about the Roman Empire (who kinda lacked interest in any science which wasn't useful for warfare or city building)or Renaissance Italy, as it credits the creation of Fujin to a disciple of Leonardo da Vinci (who, as the name suggest, wasn't even roman).

Ungrateful Bastard: Lupin just went out of his way to help Asuka out, put himself in great danger to rescue Asuka and her sister and saved the world from a madman who had a weapon to create black holes. What does Auska immediately suggest she and Zenigata do after the dust has settled? Arrest Lupin and have her dog chase him. She is still an Interpol Officer after all.

And then subverted; she’s actually an undercover officer for Interpol. And then subverted again, as she's also a descendent of the Fuma ninja clan.

 Lupin III: The Last Job / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Asuka clams that it's been documented that Romans visited Japan. This is only correct if you consider "romans" as the missionaries who went to Japan during the Sengoku period, as the historical romans (Roman Empire) did knew about the Han Empire, but it's unlikely they had contacts with Japan.

Brick Joke: At the beginning, Lupin mocks Morgana's Italian origins by portraying his caricature eating a huge dish of spaghetti. Much later, when Asuka tells him that the Oni and Tengu demons could have been exiled romans living in the Japanese mountains he asks if that means that Oni and Tengu liked spaghetti as well.
