Arsène Lupin III is a master thief determined to live up to the legendary name of his grandfather. He targets jewels, treasures, and anything that looks impossible to steal, relying on sharpshooter Daisuke Jigen and swordsman Goemon Ishikawa whenever a plan needs more than deception. Fujiko Mine, the woman Lupin cannot stop chasing, may be his partner in one caper and the first person to betray him in the next, making her intentions impossible to predict. Close behind them is Inspector Zenigata, whose determination to arrest Lupin never seems to weaken. Every heist becomes a fast-moving mix of elaborate tricks, car chases, gunfire, and escapes where getting away can be harder than stealing the prize.

Kitarou has settled into a quiet life with his father, Medama Oyaji, but the changing human world keeps disturbing places that once belonged to youkai.

Alongside Nezumi Otoko, Neko Musume, Sunakake Babaa, and other strange companions, he confronts spirits born from old legends as well as new anxieties created by modern society, trying to stop cruelty without forgetting that humans and youkai must somehow coexist.
