Michael Suzuki, a shrewd millionaire art collector and corporate magnate, spearheads the construction of Aquapolis—a sprawling Tokyo theme park masking his darker ventures. His ownership of two photographic plates tied to the Tokugawa shogunate’s lost treasure draws Lupin III’s attention, the artifacts concealing encoded data that unravel his clandestine pursuits in bioengineering and human cloning. Operating a covert biotech facility, Suzuki engineers genetically modified organisms and soldiers, aiming to breed psychic-augmented troops using DNA extracted from journalist Maria Isshiki, whose father performed experimental surgeries on her in childhood. His ambitions fuse historical artifacts with cutting-edge biotechnology for military dominance. Suzuki’s empire employs multilayered security protocols, anchored by a fortified tower residence and an underwater base beneath Aquapolis. To mask his schemes, he orchestrates a staged terrorist attack during the park’s opening, feigning hostage status while covertly manipulating events. His private collection boasts Goemon Ishikawa XIII’s stolen Zantetsuken sword, showcased among pilfered relics as trophies of conquest. The magnate systematically targets rivals’ assets, incinerating Lupin’s hideout and Zenigata’s apartment complex. His strategies exploit institutional loopholes, exemplified by engineering Zenigata’s Interpol suspension through a sabotaged operation. Genetic manipulation threads through his operations, with cloned soldiers and chimeric hybrids comprising his private army. The decoded plates reveal schematics merging Tokugawa-era wealth distribution models with genomic engineering frameworks, their connection symbolic rather than operational. Suzuki’s empire crumbles when Lupin and Zenigata forge an unlikely alliance, exposing his network. The underwater base’s destruction during a final showdown dismantles his genetic research, though whispers of corporate successors linger in the aftermath.
