History Anime / FarewellToNostradamus

* FanDisservice: Zenigata dressed as a brasilian dancer. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lupin_nostradamusdragsmall_5708.jpg Ugh!]]

* FamousLastWords: Uttered by [[spoiler: Rhisely]], mere seconds before his death.
-->[[spoiler: '''Rhisely:''']] "I will not die here."
-->'''*three seconds later, the pendulum gives way, sending him plummeting to his death*'''

* MoodWhiplash: occurs at the ending: Lupin and Julia having a laugh, then the Douglas Building falls apart with everyone somberly watching, while a song (“Ai no Tsuzuki”, about going on even though the past is gone) plays through the closing credits.
** In context, this was the last Lupin film Yasuo Yamada worked on, and he died before it was completed. The ending reflects that one of the main Lupin cast has gone.

-->'''*senses he's being watched*'''
-->[[spoiler: '''Rhisley:''']] '''(shouting in Fujiko's directin)''' "And ''YOU'', [[IKnowYoureWatchingMe back there...!]] I guess [[ChekhovsGun you can forget about that fifty million!!]] HAHAHAHAA!!"

--->'''Zenigata: (repeatedly slams briefcase on the floor)''' [[PunctuatedPounding "Die! You! Stu-pid! Thing!"]]
--->'''*countdown continues, 'til it reaches four seconds*'''
--->'''Zenigata: (shrugs, muttering)''' "Oh well, I tried."

Nostradamus'')[[/note]] is the fourth feature length film in the Lupin III series, first released in Japan on April 22, 1995. It is noteworthy for being the very first entry in the ''Lupin'' franchise to feature [[Creator/KanichiKurita Kan'ichi Kurita]] in the titular role of Lupin, following long-time voice actor Creator/YasuoYamada's death the previous month.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: Chris, as noted in the [[TheStarscream Stracream]] entry further down.

* HopelessSuitor: Lupin is this toward Fujiko; see the AllLoveIsUnrequited entry, above.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Lupin toward Fujiko. In ''Farewell to Nostradamus'', she has no feelings for him whatsoever. After she regains her memory [[spoiler: after Lupin kisses her]], she tells him it meant nothing, since [[spoiler: she was hypnotized]] at the time.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Rhisely.]]

* {{Cult}}: The Nostradamus sect, who is after Lupin in a big way. They even [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwash]] Fujiko at one point.

* MacGuffinGirl: Julia. The only way to access the security vault of the Douglas Building, is [[spoiler: via a retina scan, of ''her'' eyes.]]

* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Zenigata. He could already chase Lupin all around the world, but here [[UpToEleven he becomes even better]] thanks to a device that can detect his presence and point Zenigata at him. [[StatusQuoIsGod The device is irreversibly reprogrammed near the end of the movie]].

* BadassDecay: This movie isn't the highlight of Zenigata's career. Look up to the picture at the top of the page. It doesn't get much better for him.

Lupin and Jigen have just finished another job in Rio De Janeiro, hidden their prized diamond in a cute dolly, and board their next plane to America. However, a bratty girl called Julia takes the doll for herself, but not long after that she is kidnapped by a sect. Fujiko, who was hired as her nanny, explains to Lupin that the girl is the daughter of Douglas, a wealthy man who just entered the next election for presidency and owns the only known copy of UsefulNotes/Nostradamus' lost book of prophecies in the vault of his skyscraper. The Nostradamus sect happens to be after the book as well and use Julia as leverage to force Douglas to drop out of the election. Thus, Lupin has no choice but to rescue Julia, get into the vault and steal the lost book, all whilst staying one step ahead of the Nostradamus sect, if he ever wants his diamond back.

* [[spoiler:NoMacGuffinNoWinner: When Lupin rescues Julia and finally has his hands on the book of Nostradamus, it turns out to be completely worthless because Julia doodled on it whilst playing in the vault. This prompts him to let Goemon slice it to ribbons.]]

* DisneyDeath: Lupin seemingly drowns early on and everyone mourns his death. Of course, it later turns out he survived, but none of the others know it yet.

* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling Her Husband Out]]: Mary publicly criticizes Douglas, at the opening festivities of the World Cup, by telling the crowd he's chosen to run for office, rather than save their daughter.

* DisguisedInDrag: See the page image. [[FanDisservice You cannot unsee it.]]
* [[spoiler: DisneyVillainDeath: Chris.]]

* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Daughter]]: The Nostradamus Sect informs Douglas that they've kidnapped Julia, to blackmail him into dropping out of the Presidential election. Douglas refuses.

* [[spoiler: KarmicDeath: Rhisely dies in the destruction of the Douglas Building, which he orchestrated and set in motion.]]
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Pretty blink-and-you'll-miss-it, but a cartoon that uncannily resembles WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMaYG3tl3dI is shown on a TV in one scene]]. Not shocking considering that TMS did some of the animation on that series.

* [[MysteriousEmployer Mysterious Client]]: Remember that buyer who offered to pay Fujiko fifty million for Nostradamus' book of prophesies? Turns out it was [[spoiler: Rhisely.]]

* TheOtherDarrin: As mentioned above, Kanichi Kurita takes over Lupin beginning with ''Nostradamus''. Yasuo Yamada had died shortly before the special could be recorded, and he'd asked TMS to give Kurita the role if anything happened to him (Kurita had won a ''Lupin'' soundalike contest where Yamada was one of the judges).
* ScamReligion: The Nostradamus Sect.

* [[WhatTheHellHero What the Hell, Douglas?!]]: Mary's reaction when her husband puts his presidential bid over their daughter's safety. Which leads to her [[CallingTheOldManOut calling him out]] on it, in public. See the related entry above.
