comment
Chekhov's Boomerang: When Lupin uses explosives to blows up the ground under the Singapore Museum pillar containing the Medal of Zeus, it's meant to establish him as someone who forgoes stealth and opts for flashy solutions. The audience would forget about this until the third act, where Lupin uses the rest of his explosives to blow open the door in Pramuk's oxygen deprivation room.

Mythology Gag: Pramuk's guards shoots who they believe are Lupin and Michael. However, it turns out to be inflatable people, with the faces being inspired by the Part I anime. And speaking about that anime, the ending has Lupin wear the same green jacket.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Lupin the 3rd / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: To escape Pramuk's oxygen deprivation room, Lupin puts some explosives at the door, to be activated by a trigger. If he tries to press it, the shockwave would kill him and Michael. Michael then knocks Lupin out and puts him in a safe that contained the Crimson Heart of Cleopatra, pressing the trigger himself.

An Offer You Can't Refuse: Michael almost says this word-for-word when telling Fumiko about his plan to complete the Crimson Heart of Cleopatra. This is through an explosive-laced cheque handed to Pramuk, which can be activated by Michael. Unfortunately, he didn't count on his goons secretly sabotaging his plan and working for Pramuk instead.

Foreshadowing: When Jiro and Pierre question Lupin about his explosive tactic to steal the Medal of Zeus, the latter jokes that it would take something greater than a bomb to kill the two. Minutes later, Jiro dies from Saber stabbing him with a katana. This is subverted with Pierre, who survives. There are times where Michael is clearly a Death Seeker. His plan to get the Crimson Heart of Cleopatra's ruby from Pramuk involves triggering an explosive cheque if the latter does not give it to him. After that plan fails, he goes to Lupin's team and tries to have Jigen shoot him in the head. All this leads up to his final fate, where he pulls a heroic sacrifice to save Lupin from running out of oxygen in Pramuk's sealed room.

Doomed by Canon: Since Michael Lee does not appear in the source material, you would probably think that something bad will happen to him by the end. This movie would prove you correct, since he dies at the end to save Lupin's life.

Face–Heel Turn

comment
Face–Heel Turn: The beginning of the movie has Michael Lee turning on "The Works", believing that their leader killed his father for the Crimson Heart of Cleopatra necklace. But this trope comes back to bite Michael: Royal, Saber and Maria, who were his cronies, defect to Pramuk's side.

Improbable Aiming Skills: With only two bullets, Jigen ends up cornered by Royal. Seeing a fallen rifle aiming at Royal, Jigen's solution is to shoot the trigger, causing the rifle to fire a bullet at Royal's chest.
