** [[MasterSwordsman Goemon Ishikawa XIII]] is the quiet, reserved samurai of Lupin's group. A meditative mastermind able to hone his focus at will, Goemon manages to duel the genius gunslinger Jigen to a standstill and later dismantles a pursuing armored car using just his blade and quick wits. Assaulting the villain's headquarters, Goemon easily dispatches his [[OneManArmy minions by the dozens]] and when they try to close in on him is able to take hostages to force the rest down, a thoroughly pragmatic fighter when required despite his code of honor and in his on final fight against one of the villain's elites, simply [[SingleStrokeBattle cuts him down with a single stroke]] so precise even his dying enemy just smiles impressed.

* MagnificentBastard: The gang operate meticulously as per usual.
** [[Characters/LupinIIIArseneLupinIII Arsène Lupin III]] here is a member of "[[ThievesGuild The Works]]" who swears revenge when his mentor is killed. With the charm and brilliance to pull off any heist like his original counterpart, Lupin begins the film by outplaying even master thief Fujiko Mine and later manages to evade dozens of cops before finally being caught, even then [[SlippedTheRopes managing to break free]] with the arresting inspector caught in his own handcuffs. Discovering the depth of the treachery in his guild, Lupin sets in motion a plan to steal back his fallen mentor's most prized possession. Disabling his mark's security, Lupin later breaks free of his enemies' clutches by contacting the police, swindling both parties to make off with his treasure. A charismatically diabolical rogue as always, Lupin's scheming leaves his rivals with no option but to scream in frustration while he [[OutGambitted runs circles around them]].
** [[TheGunslinger Daisuke Jigen]] is a member of The Works who, after the death of his mentor and the dissolution of The Works, becomes a master thief and a member of Lupin's crew. A stoic, charismatic gunman able to keep up toe-to-toe with the unparalleled samurai Goemon, Jigen is just as proficient a thief as his boss, while likewise matching Lupin's sense of honor when he [[NobleDemon refuses to kill an unarmed and suicidally repentant Michael Lee]]. Jigen's greatest feat of marksmanship in the film is when he [[ImprobableAimingSkills shoots the trigger of a fallen enemy's gun]] to have it fire upon one of the villain's CoDragons, brushing off his foe's taunts with a cool-headed "[[DeadpanSnarker keep it up, twerp]]."

** [[FemmeFatale Fujiko Mine]] is Lupin's wily, on-again/off-again lover who introduces herself nabbing the Olympic Medal of Zeus in a masterful breakout, then sneaking it back into her clutches after she initially loses it to Lupin and Michael Lee. After Michael betrays The Works, Fujiko teams up with Lupin for the sake of personal revenge, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder cheerfully abandoning Lupin to the cops more than once]] with the knowledge Lupin will make it out. When one of the BigBad's henchwoman tries to engage her in a fistfight in the end, Fujiko cuts the knot and [[CombatPragmatist just shoots her]]. As crafty as she ever is, Lupin admits Fujiko's complete lack of any real loyalty to anyone but herself is one of her most "endearing" traits.
