Lupin III VS Cat's Eye (ルパン三世VSキャッツ・アイ Rupan Sansei VS Kattsu Ai?) is a 2023 crossover 3DCG film between Monkey Punch's Lupin III franchise and Tsukasa Hojo's Cat's Eye franchise, prior to the latter series' 40th anniversary and after their return to animation in 2019 with City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes.Lupin III, the great phantom thief—the man who loves freedom and lives in romance—never fails to steal his prey. The Cat's Eye are the ladies who run the night splendidly and create commotion in the world. They are sometimes phantom thieves, other times three beautiful sisters who run a café.The mutual target is "Three Paintings"—which were left behind by the three sisters' father, leading to the dream showdown between Lupin and the Cats. Amidst the mix-up of the charming characters, the story eventually leads to the amazing "secret" hidden in the picture... A retro and stylish exhilarating crime action unfolds!The crossover film released worldwide exclusively on Prime Video on January 27, 2023.

comment
Honor Among Thieves: Fujiko's still in it for herself as usual but she's still kind enough to tell Jigen, Hitomi and Rui that Faden has taken Lupin and Ai as hostages. Likewise, she also helps the Cat's Eye sisters escape before the ritual room collapses on them in the climax. Jigen and Goemon go back for Lupin when they see an explosion on the train from a distance, despite wanting little to do with Lupin's plans.

Darker and Edgier: Blood is shed more than usual and threats of terrorism is very serious. Lupin himself had his usual comedic self dialed back and isn’t fooling around; he WILL use force if necessary.

Dressing as the Enemy
 Lupin III Vs Cat's Eye / int_18dd6739
comment
Dressing as the Enemy: As expected of the Cat's Eye sisters. In the opening tower heist, Rui is disguised as a cop to make Toshio and the building's owner go down the elevator (which they then turn off) with a false story of an employee begging to be let inside. During the train heist, Ai dresses as a Faden soldier and briefly runs around with the other guards as her sisters send them on a wild goose chase.

comment
Ascended Fanboy: Toshio pulls a familiar handcuff-on-rope trick on Hitomi which he practiced out of admiration of a certain detective, which hints at this being Inspector Zenigata. He's thrilled to work with him on trying to bust Lupin's gang and Cat's Eye as well as whatever else they got caught up in, and both end up getting one branch of Faden taken down.

Anachronism Stew
 Lupin III Vs Cat's Eye / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: Cat's Eye is shown using 70-80s era brick cell phones on occasion. But if Heinz painted the three Macguffin paintings in WWII before high-school age Ai was born (the third portrait is of her mother a few months before the birth), the story has to be taking place in the mid 60s at the latest. Of course, the three paintings might also have been painted later (during the 60s) with the stones hidden in them at that time. On Lupin's side: Lupin claims here to have been a rookie thief during WWII, but other Lupin works have him starting out much later (to the point where he'd be younger than Ai). Lupin has always had a loose continuity though.

 Lupin III Vs Cat's Eye / int_381855db
comment
Five-Second Foreshadowing: After the events of the intro heist, Toshio is seen moping at the Cat's Eye café as usual, but not only is he suddenly wearing a conspicuous tie clip which he nearly shoves Hitomi's face into, his face lacks the slap mark she gave him the previous night. It's shortly revealed that this is Lupin in disguise who hid a scanner in his tie clip to spoof Hitomi's eye so he can sneak into their underground storage, and the real Toshio shows up soon after, with a bandage on his face.

No Hugging, No Kissing: The closest thing to the traditional Girl of the Week in a Lupin film is Ai, who Lupin plays more of a Big Brother Mentor role to without attempting to seduce (likely because he's old enough to be her father).

Nazi Gold: Or rather artwork once stolen by the Nazis, now being used as informal currency in the black market. Lupin apparently got his start in the thieving business by stealing them back, with Cat's Eye's father helping to hide them until the war ended.

 Lupin III Vs Cat's Eye / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: This feature is rendered in Tsukasa Hojo's semi-realistic art style. Thus, Lupin and his supporting cast - generally rendered in a cartoonish style - come off as more noirish and restrained than their traditional depictions. It's especially noticeable with Zenigata, who's not nearly as manic as usual.

Chekhov's Skill: Lupin comments to Ai that part of being a good thief is memorising every "nook and cranny", from a location's layout to how many people there are and the amount of weapons they're holding. Ai later uses this in tandem with her sisters when Dennis and his Faden soldiers outnumber them to gain the upper hand.

Let's You and Him Fight: Cat's Eye are led to believe that Lupin III is a dangerous thief that would even murder his targets and betrayed their father, who he was working with to take back artwork the Nazis stole. Of course this is a lie by the real Big Bad of the story, Berger, to get their help.
