Lupin the Third: Island of Assassins

Lupin the Third: Island of Assassins centers on a premise that unfolds like this: Lupin is framed for the murder of Inspector Zenigata by a mysterious assailant holding a silver-coloured Walther P38 pistol Lupin himself once owned. Tracking the true killer leads Lupin to the island of the bloodthirsty Tarantula assassins inside the Devil’s Triangle. After joining the spider-tattooed army against their will, Lupin and his gang make both new friends and enemies as they not only plan to take home the Tarantulas’ massive gold repository for themselves, but hunt down the shooter from Lupin’s past. Can Lupin put to rest this demon who haunts his memories with the Walther P38?

What sets it apart is how it treats its action, adventure, animation, tv movie, crime, and drama elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "Inspector Zenigata has been shot by a Walther P38! The prime suspect? Lupin the Third." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
