LOS ANGELES (May 26, 2021) – TMS Entertainment, USA, Inc. today announced the upcoming release of Lupin the 3rd Part 6 with the first teaser visual and trailer. The series is set to premiere October 2021 and will be broadcast on television stations such as Nippon Television in Japan.
Making its anime debut with Lupin the 3rd PART 1 in 1971, Lupin the 3rd is a highly acclaimed media franchise created by Monkey Punch. The series follows the adventures of the world's greatest thief Lupin III who is the grandson of famed French master thief Arsène Lupin. The franchise has spawned six television series, over ten theatrical releases, and 27 feature-length TV specials.
Together with Daisuke Jigen, an expert marksman, and Goemon Ishikawa, a master swordsman, and Fujiko Mine, the cunning temptress, Lupin travels across the globe to rob the world of its most valued treasures whilst always staying one step ahead of Inspector Zenigata and his Interpol agents. The teaser visual and trailer for the PART 6 have been released to the public upon the announcement of the series.

The key visual was created by character designer Hiroki Marufuji. Accompanied by the catch phrase, “Lupin, Villain or Hero?”, the key visual uses black, white, and red tones to create a highly contrastive depiction of Lupin's face and serves to highlight the duality and nuances of Lupin's complex identity.
Engulfed in a painted white light, the right side of Lupin's face, depicts a familiar carefree and gentle Lupin. The left side on the other hand, shows a face obscured by shadows, and provides a foreign and unique look at a more callous and colder Lupin.

[About Lupin the 3rd Part 6]
Introduction
His name is Lupin III. He is a gentleman thief whose grandfather was the renowned phantom thief Arsène Lupin.
When it comes to the art of thievery, there is nothing Lupin III cannot steal; whether it be jewels, works of art, hidden treasures, the secret to immortality, or the heart of a pretty girl.
Lupin's partners are Daisuke Jigen, a great gunman; Goemon Ishikawa, a master swordsman; Fujiko Mine, a devilishly clever femme fatale. There is Inspector Zenigata, a relentless ICPO officer, consumed with an obsessive desire to apprehend the masterful thief.
2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the animated series, and thus Lupin is at it again!
The new Lupin the 3rd PART6 series is set to unfold with the theme of “mystery” with Lupin and the gang thrown into the modern age. What could be their next target?
Lupin the 3rd is an action-packed, yet comical and eccentric story, featuring a band of uniquely complex characters. The animated Lupin the 3rd series builds upon Monkey Punch's original comic, and over the years, as a franchise, have continued to touch and captivate fans throughout the world. The various iterations of the animated Lupin the 3rd franchise have been developed to contain the essence and atmosphere of the eras in which they were produced.
