Lupin the Third Part 5 is set in modern digital high-tech France, where Lupin’s ancestor Arsene Lupin came from. Lupin will continue to wield his Walther P38 and drive a classic car, but with the addition of digital gadgets.

The visual released today shows Lupin with a mysterious character. Lupin is wearing a monocle – a look that resembles Arsene Lupin.

The series is written by Ichiro Okouchi (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion) and directed by Yuichiro Yano (Aikatsu! The Movie). The character design is done by Lupin the Third’s original key animator, Hisao Yokobori.
