TV Special
Description
Chin Chin Chou emerges as a Hong Kong-based crime boss and cunning primary antagonist in the 1994 television special, obsessed with reclaiming a legendary gold dragon figurine. This relic holds the key to crafting an alloy surpassing the durability of Goemon Ishikawa XIII’s Zantetsuken sword—a secret forged aboard the ill-fated Titanic, where Arsène Lupin I, Lupin III’s grandfather, once attempted to steal it.
Chou strategically recruits Lupin III, Daisuke Jigen, and Fujiko Mine to retrieve the sunken artifact, but Lupin refuses, choosing to pursue the dragon alone to honor his family’s legacy. The statue’s significance extends to Goemon, its history intertwined with his clan’s honor, driving him to oppose both Chou and Lupin to protect its legacy.
A calculating mob overlord, Chou commands his criminal network to orchestrate the figurine’s recovery through manipulation and subterfuge. His ruthless ambition to seize the alloy’s power meets fierce resistance from Lupin’s unpredictable ingenuity and Goemon’s blade-forged resolve, testing the limits of his meticulously laid plans.
