It's been announced that the 20th Lupin III television special has been green-lit to air in Japan on February 12, 2010. This newest feature-length special, titled "the Last Job," features the supposed death of Lupin's mortal nemesis Detective Zenigata. A mysterious ninja thief named Morgana kills him while trying to steal a Japanese cultural treasure at a Nazi Germany sanatorium.
This special obviously has a lot to live up to. This year's special involved Lupin facing off against none other than
Detective Conan, & the year before that Lupin faced off against himself in the
Green VS Red special. The alleged death of Zenigata seems up to the task, but why do I get the feeling that he's somehow not really dead?
