6	''Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone''[[labelnote:*]]次元大介の墓標 (Jigen Daisuke no Bohyō)[[/labelnote]], released in June 2014, is the seventh animated theatrical film in the long-running ''Franchise/LupinIII'' franchise. Produced at Telecom Animation Film – the same studio that animated ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'' along with a few other ''Lupin'' projects – it is a SpiritualSequel of sorts to the 2012 spin-off TV series ''[[Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine The Woman Called Fujiko Mine]]''. Like ''Fujiko'', this series features character designs and animation direction by Creator/TakeshiKoike, but this time he also serves as Chief Director. It was written by Creator/YuuyaTakahashi.
7
8	Unusually for a ''Lupin'' film, it originally ran in Japanese cinemas in two parts of about 25 minutes each, making it the shortest film in the franchise (its followups are a few minutes longer). Lupin wears a Teal Jacket here – not quite [[Anime/LupinIIIPart1 Green]], not quite [[Anime/LupinIIIPart5 Blue]]; Jigen also wears slightly more colorful clothing than usual.
9
10	[[PhantomThief Arsène]] [[LovableRogue Lupin III]] and [[TheGunslinger Daisuke]] [[TheAce Jigen]] have [[VillainTeamUp teamed up]] to steal [[MineralMacGuffin the Little Comet]], a priceless gemstone, from [[FictionalCountry East Doroa]] by disguising themselves as ambassadors. Relations between East and West Doroa have been tense, especially since the previous week's assassination of [[PosthumousCharacter Queen Malta]], the star singer from East Doroa who had hired Jigen to bodyguard her.
11
12	The caper goes wrong, and while the duo manages to escape with their prize, [[InstantEmergencyResponse the police seem exceptionally good at chasing the two]]. What they didn't foresee was the involvement of an [[ProfessionalKiller assassin]] who shoots them several times and as a result they barely escape with their lives.
13
14	The sniper, [[BigBad Yael]] [[ColdSniper Okuzaki]], is known [[PrematurelyMarkedGrave to make gravestones before his targets are killed]], and there's not yet anyone who has survived being his target. Jigen decides to face his would-be killer, and with Lupin tagging along, goes to find Yael. Unfortunately, that results in the pair getting cornered by the sniper, [[BoomHeadshot who shoots Jigen in the head!]]
15
16	The decent performance of this film led to two sequels in the same continuity (using the same format): ''[[Anime/GoemonIshikawasSprayOfBlood Goemon's Blood Spray]]'' in 2017 and ''[[Anime/FujikoMinesLie Fujiko's Lie]]'' in 2019.
17
18	It was licensed by Creator/DiscotekMedia for North American release (as were its sequels when they came out). This release has the distinction of being Discotek's first self-produced English dub, courtesy of Creator/{{BangZoom\|Entertainment}}. Discotek's policy up until this film had been to use preexisting dubs but not commission new ones. Since then, with an assist from TMS, they have made exceptions with ''Lupin'' in a few cases (mostly newer entries).
19
20	----
21	!!Tropes:
22	* AccidentalHero: At the beginning of Part 2, Fujiko saves Lupin from his beatdown by The Piano Man by ramming into him with her bike.
23	* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: The graveyard scene where Lupin and Jigen talk.
24	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Jigen and Lupin are drawn more realistic than they usually are and look more handsome because of it.
25	* ADayInTheLimelight: Despite being [[Franchise/LupinIII here]] from the start, this is the first time Jigen has headlined a movie.
26	* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Once Fujiko is in trouble, Lupin of course makes it a priority to save her.
27	* AristocratsAreEvil: And like to put thieves in oil then have them be chased by leather clad robots in glass boxes.
28	* ArmorPiercingQuestion:
29	-->'''Lupin''': No one's escaped his cross-hairs before, right?\
30	'''Jigen''': Urgh!
31	* ArtShiftedSequel: The shading style and thick outlines used in ''Fujiko Mine'' are entirely absent, and the art budget is clearly improved, although the designs are nearly identical due to Takeshi Koike being character designer and animation director for both.
32	* AssassinOutclassin: Naturally, we have Jigen out-doing Yael, but the how is quite interesting, as Jigen technically loses ''both'' QuickDraw contests. In their duels, Lupin takes his cue from Jigen and stays on the side to watch the two duke it out. [[spoiler:Jigen wins by having a larger-caliber bullet and hitting Yael's firing arm hard enough to crack bone, ruining his ability to work as a marksman.]]
33	* AssInAmbassador: The Marandan Ambassador is a textbook example.
34	* BadassInANiceSuit: Yael has a wardrobe of identical two-piece suits, and while on the job, carries a spare set in his briefcase. He takes looking good while working ''seriously''.
35	** As per usual, Lupin and Jigen also count.
36	* BigDamnHeroes: Lupin saves Fujiko from the Gentlemen's Club JustInTime.
37	* BigDamnMovie: ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine'' is about building the characterization of [[PhantomThief Fujiko]] [[FemmeFatale Mine]]. This is a sequel movie about [[ImprobableAimingSkills Jigen]] [[TheGunslinger Daisuke]]. The gang has to save Jigen from an international assassin who creates graves before killing the target.
38	* BlatantLies: When Jigen calls Fujiko on her B.S.
39	-->'''[[OnlySaneMan Jigen]]''': What are you up to, Fujiko?\
40	'''Fujiko''': How can you even suggest that? And here I was trying to go straight for once.
41	* BluffTheImposter: The Little Comet's guard, knowingly or not, does this Lupin (who's disguised as the Malandan Ambassador) by asking him for the password.
42	* BoomHeadshot: This is how Malta and Jigen go out. [[spoiler:The second was FakingTheDead, though.]]
43	* BondGunBarrel: We are treated to one in the ending theme.
44	* BossInMookClothing: The unnamed pianist accompanying Rondo's owner only has a different-colored suit to distinguish himself from the owner's other henchmen, but he inexplicably proves to be a skilled fighter, delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Lupin before Fujiko rams him with her bike.
45	* BoundAndGagged: The fate of the Malandan Ambassador and his chauffeur after being MuggedForDisguise by Lupin & Jigen.
46	* BreakingSpeech: After believing he killed Jigen, Okuzkai attempts one on Lupin.
47	-->'''Okuzaki''': How does it feel it watch your friend die before your very eyes? You only have yourself to blame for going through with such a reckless plan. Now do you realize how powerless you are?
48	* BreakingOldTrends: The first Anime/LupinIII related movie in ''40 years'' to not feature [[TheBigGuy Goemon]].
49	** This is also the first Lupin III movie to not have Zenigata interact or have any screen time with Lupin.
50	* BriefCaseBlaster: Okuzkai's suit case houses his SniperRifle.
51	* BrutalHonesty: Lupin tells Jigen he (Jigen) can't take on Okuzaki with his wound.
52	* BuddyPicture: An action-oriented variant. While the film is about Lupin & Jigen combating [[ProfessionalKiller Okuzaki]], it also the story of [[FireForgedFriends how they went from to partners to friends]].
53	* TheBusCameBack: The first Anime/LupinIII movie to have an antagonist from a [[Anime/MysteryOfMamo previous movie]] to make an appearance.
54	* CallBack: Lupin and Jigen sharing a smoke in the car after [[FireForgedFriends finally becoming friends]] at the end of the film is probably one to ''[[Anime/LupinIIIEpisode0FirstContact Episode 0: First Contact]]'', another prequel that explained how the two met.
55	* CallForward: The cameo appearance of HLW is intended as a reference to his future impact on Lupin in ''Anime/TheMysteryOfMamo''.
56	* CameFromTheSky: The Little Comet's origins are that it fell from space and landed on Earth in TheMiddleAges
57	* TheCameo: At the end of the second part of the movie, we have two cameos, one by the good Inspector Zenigata, and another by someone identified as HLW. [[spoiler:Howard Locke Wood was one of the aliases that Mamo used.]]
58	** Goemon also makes a cameo in a photograph.
59	* TheCaper: The film begins at one before [[BigBad Okuzaki]] makes his presence known.
60	* CarFu: Both parties utilize expert mastery of the skill during the ChaseScene.
61	* CarMeetsHouse: Okuzaki's Maserati Bora punching a hole through his safehouse is how his pursuit of Jigen and Lupin begins.
62	* CareerEndingInjury: [[spoiler:Jigen ends Okuzaki's career as a hitman by breaking his firing arm with a large-caliber bullet.]]
63	* CastOfSnowflakes: The entire cast, but the highlight is during the crowd shot at the West Doroan concert hall.
64	* CityGuards: The guards of East Doroa.
65	* CharacterTitle: Jigen serves as the eponymous protagonist of the film.
66	* {{Cliffhanger}}: A classic one. Part 1 ends with Jigen's "death" and Fujiko about to be made into mincemeat by Okuzaki's robot.
67	* CoatCape: This is how Jigen wears his jacket for a while after he's shot in the shoulder by Okuzaki.
68	* CombatCompliment:
69	-->'''Jigen''': You did me real good back there. Allow me to pay you back in full.
70	* ConsummateProfessional: Yael operates as a ProfessionalKiller, with a strict code of honour that includes fulfilling only the contract given to him (no additional bodies), keeping his clients' secrets, and not asking any questions.
71	* ColdSniper: Both Jigen and especially [[TheStoic Okuzaki]] count.
72	* CoolCar: Yael's Maserati Bora, which comes equipped with a [[GatlingGood Gatling gun in the hood]] and bulletproof glass. The Alfa Romeo that Lupin and Jigen steal would also nominally count, though it gets shot up in the course of the show (but is still running in the end).
73	* CoolShades: Okuzaki sports a very fashionable pair.
74	* CruelMercy: When Jigen wins his and Okuzaki's second QuickDraw, he chooses to not kill Okuzaki because "He's no gunman anymore."
75	* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Definitely'' compared to the previous theatrical film (2013's ''Anime/LupinIIIVsDetectiveConanTheMovie''), and even compared to ''Fujiko Mine''. There is a LOT of blood spilled in this movie, mostly from Jigen. The climax is particularly graphic: [[spoiler:Yael's bullet misses Jigen's nose but carves out a bit of his right cheek; meanwhile, Jigen's Magnum bullet hits Yael's left arm and ''literally blows a hole in it.'' We see the completely severed bone as well as the muscles and sinews around it.]]
76	* DemotedToExtra: Goemon, one of Lupin III's five main characters, only cameos in a photograph at the end. Inspector Zenigata fares only slightly better, showing up in TheStinger with one speaking line.
77	** Fujiko Mine was TheProtagonist of ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine'', but here she is definitely a side character.
78	* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The opening sequences to both of the halves explode with intricate shapes and solid character profiles, with colour slowly added to the end, as an explosion of gradient rainbows for a background against a line-art black midground and line-art foreground.
79	* DestinationDefenestration: Piano guy throws Lupin out of a window during his beatdown of him.
80	* DiceRollDeath: This his how Okuzkai decides how many bullets he'll use to kill his targets.
81	* DidntSeeThatComing: Lupin, twice.
82	** Lupin didn't think opening the case housing the Little Comet would require a code.
83	** Lupin didn't think Okuzaki would win his QuickDraw duel with Jigen so quickly.
84	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: This is how Jigen "goes out" after his BoomHeadshot from Okuzaki.
85	* DueToTheDead: Lupin puts Jigen's fedora over his face after his "death".
86	* DownerEnding: Part 1 ends with Jigen's "death" and Fujiko about to be skewered by Okuzaki's robot.
87	* DyingClue: Not on purpose, but Queen Malta got shot with the same custom round Jigen & Lupin did, leading Jigen to realize it was connected.
88	* EatingTheEyeCandy: Lupin refers to the naked and oiled up Fujiko as "A hell of a view."
89	* ElectronicEye: The eyepatch Okuzaki wears [[spoiler:conceals the wires he uses to connect up his right eye to the Closed Circuit Camera System that permeates the entire country. After Lupin figures it out, he copies the trick and messes Yael up in the second part.]]
90	* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:Okuzaki is plenty quick on the draw himself, in part because of his extensive knowledge of firearms allowing him to optimize his guns for speed and accuracy. However, his true ace in the hole is his ElectronicEye, which gives him access to East Doroa's extensive surveillance system and removes all of his blind spots. Notably, even after his trick is discovered and disabled, he manages to fire off his shot at the same time as Jigen during their final duel and graze his cheek.]]
91	* EpisodeTitleCard: Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone Part 1/2.
92	* ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: The TitleSequence is 40 seconds long.
93	* EyepatchOfPower: Yael is always seen wearing an eyepatch over his right eye. So does Lupin in the second half. [[spoiler: Both are using the eyepatch to conceal a technology-based MagicalEye.]]
94	* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Lupin explains to Yael in part 2 how Jigen survived the assassination that was shown at the end of part 1. The flashback shows that the video feed (altered by Lupin to make a half-second delay) led to Yael's bullet just missing Jigen by milimetres, thus giving Jigen the opportunity to simulate the headshot by using a small exploding blood device and to give the impression Yael fulfilled the contract.]]
95	* FanDisservice: Fujiko, oddly enough. [[spoiler:While Fujiko is striped naked, It is played for horror, when a robot tries to drill her to death, naked in front of a sadistic audience, but Lupin luckily saves the day and shuts down the robot]].
96	* FatalFlaw: Okuzaki's is {{Pride}}.
97	-->'''Lupin''': Basically, you believed you'd killed Jigen, falling right into our trap. [[KirkSummation Your confidence as an assassin proved your undoing.]]
98	* FictionalCountry: Three. The Malanda Republic, East Doroa, and West Doroa.
99	* {{Flashback}}: A couple to a week before when Queen Malta was alive.
100	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Overlaps with FreezeFrameBonus. After sniping Lupin and Jigen, Okuzaki pulls out a wire from his eye patch. That wire is the entirety of TheReveal later on.
101	* FlowerMotif: Parsley means revelry, gratification, victory and [[ImpliedDeathThreat impending death.]]
102	* FoodPorn: Okuzaki's steak dinner in the beginning of Part 2 looks incredible.
103	* ForeignLanguageTheme: Two for the original version. (technically none in the English dub)
104	** "My Dream" with vocals by Beverley Staunton.
105	** The ending theme "Revolver Fires" with vocals by Gary Stockdale.
106	* FreudWasRight: The robot designed by Okuzaki that nearly takes out a naked Fujiko has kill-drills pop out of its crotch (which itself already had a chain hanging from it). Its operator goes quite berserk when Lupin destroys it.
107	* FriendshipDenial: Jigen insists that Lupin and he are ''not'' friends, just business partners.
108	* GadgeteerGenius: The true key behind Okuzaki's skill as a hitman. He hand-crafted his load-out specifically to ensure he could fire quickly and accurately from any distance. Additionally, as a side gig, he builds often depraved robots for wealthy clients. [[spoiler:And then there's his eyepatch, which allows him to connect his retina to East Doroa's extensive surveillance system to eliminate his blind spots.]]
109	* GetItOverWith: Okuzaki tells Jigen to just kill him after he's been outsmarted.
110	* AGlassOfChianti: Okuzaki enjoys red wine with his steak dinner at the beginning of Part 2.
111	* GunStripping: Inverted. Okuzaki does this a he gets ready.
112	* HatesSmallTalk: Subtly. Okuzaki does not indulge the bartender's attempts at conversation while he is eating.
113	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Easr Doroa was scared Jigen would unearth their role in the hit on Marta.
114	* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Lupin briefly removes his disguise as the Marandan Ambassador while in the car to remind the audience that it is him.
115	* TheHeroDies: Or at least the villian thinks he does.
116	* HeroicRematch: Jigen challenges Okuzaki to another QuickDraw at the climax. He wins.
117	* HyperAwareness: Lupin knew Okuzaki left wild grown parsley on Jigen's grave. He also smelled anemones on them, which led him and Jigen to one of Okuzaki's hideouts.
118	* IkeaWeaponry: Okuzaki builds his SniperRifle right before he uses it.
119	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The guards of the Little Comet all graduated with top marks as during Jigen and Lupin's escape neither are even scratched by a single bullet.
120	* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: To sneak into East Doroa, Jigen and Lupin decide to this.
121	* ImpossibleThief: Lupin steals the Calamity File while [[ThanksForTheMammary groping]] Fujiko.
122	* ImprobableAimingSkills: A given due to [[TheGunslinger Jigen]] headlining the film.
123	* InsistentTerminology: Jigen insists that Lupin and he are ''not'' friends, just business partners.
124	* InstantEmergencyResponse: When Lupin and Jigen steal the Little Comet, the police are on them in seconds. Justified because East Doroa is fan of SinisterSurveillance.
125	* InstantSedation: Once stabbed in the neck with a dart, the Marandan Ambassador is immediately knocked unconscious.
126	* {{Interquel}}: Takes place between ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine'' and [[Anime/LupinIIIPart1 the first TV series]]. Lupin and Jigen begin the movie as "business partners" like in the former, and Goemon isn't part of the team because they haven't (knowingly) met him yet (though [[spoiler:he does appear in the Calamity File, implying that this is how Lupin becomes aware of him]]).
127	* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Lupin is very familiar with the [[FlowerMotif Language of Flowers]].
128	* KneeCapping: Jigen's second shot is into Okuzaki's knee. Okuzaki nearly does this to Lupin at the start.
129	* KnockoutAmbush: Lupin and Jigen do this to a Malandan Ambassador and his chauffeur to get into East Doroa.
130	* LatexPerfection: A [[Franchise/LupinIII franchise]] staple.
131	* LimitedWardrobe: Parodied. In Okuzaki's base near the cemetery, he has a closet only full of white Prada jackets. He even keeps a spare in his BriefcaseBlaster.
132	** Ironically, Jigen calls him out on this. While in the Koike trilogy he wears a wide variety of outfits, in the series he owns the most LimitedWardrobe.
133	* LockAndLoadMontage: Okuzaki has a villainous version before he snipes Lupin and Jigen.
134	* LogicalWeakness: Jigen's .357 Magnum is a rather large gun. Okuzkai [[EvilGloating gloats]] about this when he wins their first QuickDraw, but at their rematch, Jigen is able to use this to his advantage.
135	* LongBusTrip: Mamo's first role in a Lupin III movie in ''36 years.''
136	* MacGuffin: Two. The Little Comet and later, the Calamity File.
137	* MalevolentMaskedMen: The depraved owner of Rondo wears a gold mask over his face. His henchmen wear a silver variant.
138	* MagicalEye: [[spoiler:Yael's success in East Doroa comes from his robotics skill. The eyepatch he wears conceals the wires he uses to connect up his right eye to the Closed Circuit Camera System that surveils the entire country. After Lupin figures it out, he copies the trick and messes Yael up in the second part.]]
139	* MasterOfUnlocking: Fujiko has no problem breaking into the safe where the Calamity File.
140	* MilitarySalute: The soldiers of East Doroa give this to The Malandan Ambassador's car, unaware that Lupin and Jigen have hijacked it.
141	* MineralMacGuffin: The Little Comet. Overlaps with CameFromTheSky.
142	* MinimalistCast: All the characters on the film's poster (and 1 or 2 others) are the only relevant characters to the film.
143	* MrExposition: For once, Jigen fills Lupin in on the main antagonist instead of the other way around.
144	* MuggedForDisguise: Lupin and Jigen do this to an ambassador and his driver at the beginning, leaving them BoundAndGagged on the side of the road after stealing their uniforms.
145	* MyGreatestFailure: Downplayed, but Jigen feels guilty for Malta's death.
146	-->'''Lupin''': What's wrong? You still hung up on that?\
147	'''Jigen''': It was my job to protect her. That's all.
148	* NeckLift: Or rather, Leg Lift. This is how the Rondo Owner suspends Fujiko in the air after she attacks him.
149	* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: When confronted by the Rondo Owner, Fujiko gracefully sits in the chair before instantly springing up and kicking at the man with a hidden blade on her foot, all in one smooth motion. However, he [[NoSell no-sells]] the kick with one hand and subdues her with a punch to the stomach.
150	* NewspaperBackstory: Both Malta's death and the East vs West treaty being broken are seen on Lupin's newspaper.
151	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: One of the assassinated persons shown in the File that Fujiko stole is one [[UsefulNotes/VladimirLenin Vdimiral Nilen]].
152	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: The Piano Man completely wails on Lupin when he is on the floor. Also he begins the beatdown by KickThemWhileTheyAreDown.
153	* NotBigEnoughForTheTwoOfUs: Jigen tells Okuzaki before their first duel that the world doesn't need two top gunmen.
154	* NothingPersonal: Like any good ProfessionalKiller, Okuzaki feels this way. Overlaps with JustFollowingOrders.
155	-->'''Lupin''': Then why are you after Jigen?\
156	'''Okuzaki''': Any motives are not my own. I just take out the targets I'm given.
157	* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: The first Anime/LupinIII anime to have "the third" titled as "the 111rd" instead of "Lupin III" or "Lupin the Third".
158	* OhCrap: Two major ones.
159	** The first is when Okuzaki shoots Jigen's Magnum out of his hands. Lupin is extremely shocked before he takes his partner and [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere bolts]].
160	-->'''Lupin''': [[WhamLine Jigen lost?!]]
161	* OpenSaysMe: Jigen kicks two doors open while he and Lupin rummage through Okuazki's base.
162	* OnlyAFleshWound: Jigen is shot in the arm, Lupin in the leg and Okuzaki in the [[{{Kneecapping}} knee]] but all three shrug it off. Subverted in the finale where Jigen cracks the bone in Okuzaki's arm.
163	* OutGambitted: This is Okuzaki's fate. Lupin delayed the cameras he utilizes and faked Jigen's death.
164	* PosthumousCharacter: Jigen's employer Queen Marta is dead before the movie begins.
165	* PrematurelyMarkedGrave: The sniper who is after Jigen, Yael Okuzaki, is in the habit of making gravestones for his targets ahead of time – hence the title.
166	* PrettyLittleHeadshots: All of Yael's targets. [[spoiler:Well, most of them.]]
167	* PreviouslyOn: Lupin narrates one at the beginning of Part 2.
168	* ProfessionalKiller: Yael Okuzaki is an assassin hired to kill Jigen in the first part of the movie. We gradually explore exactly why Jigen has been targeted, and how Lupin escapes.
169	* QuickDraw: Two quick draw contests take place, both between Jigen and Yael.
170	** In the first contest, Yael shoots first, and [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shoots Jigen's .357 out of his hand]] before he can get off a shot.
171	** In the second contest, Yael again shoots first, but this time Jigen planned for that. [[spoiler:Jigen aimed to ShootTheBullet and hit Yael in the arm. Since Jigen's bullets are a larger caliber, his bullet is less deflected and has enough power to crack Yael's bone in half, ruining his ability to work as TheGunslinger.]]
172	* RedSkyTakeWarning: When Okuzaki lays parsley on Jigen's grave in the beginning, the sky is a sinister crimson.
173	* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: [[FemmeFatale Fujiko]] for once. She is embarrassed when Lupin sees her naked and covered in oil.
174	* ScopeSnipe: Okuzaki is able to shoot ''before his targets run into his scope.''
175	* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Once Jigen loses the QuickDraw duel, Lupin grabs his Magnum, puts his fedora on his head and makes both of them run for it.
176	* TheSeventies: The film takes place right in the middle of it.
177	* SharpDressedMan: Both [[TheProtagonist Jigen]] and [[BigBad Okuzaki]] have a for fondness for designer clothing. In particular, they both wear Prada. Unlike [[LimitedWardrobe Okuzaki]], [[UnlimitedWardrobe Jigen]] claims to also wears Givenchy and Fendi.
178	* ShooOutTheClowns: This film has almost zero comedy and its sequels have even less. In the ''Lupin'' franchise, only the early episodes of ''[[Anime/LupinIIIPart1 "Green Jacket"]]'' come anywhere close to being this serious.
179	* ShootTheBullet: Jigen's expert marksmanship allows him to use one bullet to deflect his opponent's, ''and'' hit a second target afterwards.
180	* ShortFilm: At 51 minutes counting double opening & ending, this is the shortest theatrical Anime/LupinIII anime film.
181	* ShutUpHannibal: Lupin's immediate response to Okuzaki's BreakingSpeech.
182	-->'''Lupin''': You've shown me that you know your way around a gun. But if you ask me, you're nothing but a gun yourself. Without someone to hire you and pull your trigger, you're just a worthless tool that lacks a will of its own.
183	* SpyCatsuit: Fujiko changes into one after the glass box she was confined in is destroyed.
184	* SniperRifle; Both Jigen and Okuzaki ultilize one during the film.
185	* SoftGlass: Downplayed, because the guards do fill it with holes before but Lupin and Jigen jump through a window without a scratch.
186	* StagedShooting: This is how Lupin makes Okuzaki think he killed Jigen.
187	* StealthHiBye: Jigen is sitting in the ambassador's car. Guards rush up to the car and look inside. It's empty and Jigen is behind a wall.
188	* StealthPrequel: [[spoiler:To ''Anime/TheMysteryOfMamo''.]]
189	* TheStinger: After the credits, [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Inspector Zenigata]] and some of his men see Lupin, Jigen and Fujiko's gravestones. When asked by them what this means, Zenigata simply replies they have a lot of work to do.
190	* SuddenlyObviousFakery: The BigBad of the film successfully manages to assassinate his mark, Jigen, with a well-placed sniper shot to the head at the end of Part 1. [[spoiler:In Part 2, however, the bullet is revealed in a flashback to have barely missed Jigen's head, giving him the opportunity to fake his death by detonating a small device filled with blood placed on his forehead. Here, he lifts up his hat up to reveal the device, but prior to the reveal he does no such thing, at least from the assassin's point of view.]]
191	* TheSummation: Lupin gives one to Okuzaki during Part 2.
192	-->'''Lupin''': It wasn't easy to get you to lower your guard.\
193	'''Okuzaki''': You planned this?\
194	'''Lupin''': You were the key to solving it all, [[FullNameBasis Yael Okuzaki]]. When you first sniped us, I sensed something was off. How could you shoot Jigen with such impeccable timing when he just raced out from behind those buildings? But that wasn't the only thing. How did the city's police manage to anticipate out escape routes? What's the secret to this city maintaining the lowest crime rate in the world? [[EurekaMoment Then I finally realized…]] [[SinisterSurveillance it's the surveillance system.]] [[TheReveal You're not blind in your right eye.]] To the contrary, it sees all too well.
195	* SuperWindowJump: This is how Lupin and Jigen escape with the Little Comet after being busted.
196	* TeamSwitzerland: The Malandan Republic is a neutral country. This is later subverted when it's revealed that they are supplying East Doroa with weapons.
197	* TitleSequence: A rather gorgeous one opens the film.
