New key scene from [i]LUPIN THE IIIRD THE MOVIE: The Immortal Bloodline[/i] reveals Mamou's plan

In the current animated film LUPIN THE IIIRD THE MOVIE: The Immortal Bloodline (original title: LUPIN THE IIIRD THE MOVIE 不死身の血族), a key scene has been released that puts the antagonist Mamou in the spotlight and highlights his threat to Lupin and his team.

The film marks the first classic 2D animated theatrical production of the "Lupin III" series in nearly three decades. The plot leads Lupin and his companions to an island shrouded in poisonous mist, where they must defeat the ruler Muo Mu and find a hidden treasure within 24 hours.

Particularly explosive: Mamou, who already played a central role in the first theatrical film Lupin III vs. The Clone (1978), returns as an adversary. In his self-proclaimed pursuit of divinity, he plans to seize world domination using clone technology. The newly released scene shows him in video consultations with corrupt decision-makers from around the world, underscoring his far-reaching manipulative networks.

Mamou's return creates a strong connection to the first film in the series and deepens the franchise's continuity. His calculated strategies present Lupin and his team with challenges unlike any they have faced before, further heightening the tension for the finale.

This scene makes it clear how Mamou's technological superiority and his delusions of grandeur become an existential threat to Lupin's companions – and offers long-time fans in particular a significant bridge to the history of the legendary film series.
