Lupin Zero tells a story that is both nostalgic and original, finally lifting the veil on the humble beginnings of Lupin III, loosely based on the young Lupin III from the original manga. The anime is set in the era when the original series was first released and follows the young Lupin III as he runs through the streets of 1960s Japan during the country's economic boom.
A young man climbs the ladder to villain status—what was he thinking, and what steps did he take? This is the untold story of the origin of the world's greatest thief.
