So, apparently, great criminals are tracked on Wikipedia now… odd.
Earlier today, the official Lupin the Third Part 5 anime website updated with a new trailer and key visual. We break the details down below:
Trailer
The minute-long trailer offers a look at the show in action, and introduces new characters Ami, Albert, and Goro. At the midway point, the music kicks into a Parisian-themed version of the classic Lupin III theme song.
Key Visual
The visual was drawn by character designer Hisao Yokobori. The image features main characters Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko, and Goemon, along with new character Ami Enan who are positioned in front of the Paris skyline.

The title was first unveiled at last year’s Japan Expo, which is held annually in Paris. At the time, a teaser visual was unveiled, which showed Lupin and Jigen atop relaxing with their car as they gaze upon Mont Saint-Michel.
