Lupin the Third: Dead or Alive

Lupin the Third: Dead or Alive (ルパン三世 DEAD OR ALIVE, 1996) is a Japanese animated feature based on Monkey Punch's manga — watch it online on iFILM. The fictional kingdom of Zufu has just survived a coup: General Headhunter seized power, wiped out the royal family, and then hit a wall — the dead king hid the national treasury on a fully automated floating island that no one has cracked. Lupin III has his own answer for that.

He sneaks in with sharpshooter Jigen and swordsman Goemon while Fujiko shows up with an agenda of her own. Headhunter puts a million-dollar dead-or-alive bounty on Lupin's head, Inspector Zenigata is one step behind on Interpol orders, and the island's defenses prove stranger than anyone expected. Directed by Hiroyuki Yano under Monkey Punch's direct involvement, this is the only Lupin feature the original creator had a hand in making.
