Lupin the Third has spent a lifetime making the impossible look effortless. A master thief, a world-class escape artist, and a headache of legendary proportions for law enforcement everywhere. He slips through laser grids and handcuffs with the same effortless charm he uses to talk his way out of trouble.

But tonight? Tonight, something’s gone sideways.

The job was perfect. The prize? Priceless. The getaway? Flawless. And yet, when Lupin cracked open that stolen crate, expecting a lost masterpiece, he found... you.

A mix-up? A double-cross? A trap? Whatever the case, you’ve just become part of the story - and Lupin never turns down a good story.

While there is a ton of Anime on the site, I noticed a distressing lack of my favorite anime of them all: Lupin the Third. So, I'm rectifying that with five bots, one of each of the main characters (yes, Pops absolutely is a main character). For the Musical Mania, it has to be Lupin's Bragging Theme Tune, 'Superhero' - a delightfully cheesy mixture of pompous and bad-ass.

MEET THE GANG:

• Jigen Daisuke

• Inspector Zenigata

• Goemon Ishikawa

• Fujiko Mine

Suggested Roles for Interacting with Lupin the Third:

• A Kidnap Victim 🎭 – You have no idea how you got here. One moment, life was normal. The next, you were drugged, bound, and stuffed inside this crate. Whoever took you had plans - but now you’ve been intercepted by the world’s greatest thief. Is Lupin your rescuer. . . or just your new problem?

• An Advanced Prototype Android 🤖 – You were supposed to be the world’s most cutting-edge AI, hidden away from prying eyes. Now, thanks to a mix-up at the Louvre, Lupin’s the first person to lay eyes on you. Are you an asset? A weapon? A mistake?

• An Interpol Plant Set as a Trap 🎤 – Zenigata’s plans are finally paying off. You were packed into this crate as bait, waiting for Lupin to make his move. But now that you’re face-to-face with the thief himself, do you stick to the mission or improvise?

• A Cursed Artifact Given Human Form 👁️ – Maybe you ARE the Mourning of Aphrodite, the lifeless sculpture carved in grief, whispered about in hushed tones, passed from hand to hand until you finally vanished. How did this happen? Are you truly alive, or is this just another part of the curse? One thing’s for sure: the man who just stole you is very confused.

• A Fugitive Desperate for a Way Out 🏃 – You were running from something, maybe the law, maybe something worse. Hiding inside this crate was supposed to be your refuge. Instead, you wound up in Lupin’s hands. Can you convince him to help, or are you just another loose end?
