, first released in North America as ''Rupan III: The Fuma Conspiracy'', is the first original video animation based on Monkey Punch's ''Lupin III'' manga. It is also the first Lupin animation to not feature Yasuo Yamada (due to a tight budget) as Arsène Lupin III, who is instead voiced by Toshio Furukawa, and the only one to not feature Kiyoshi Kobayashi as Daisuke Jigen. ==Plot== The movie begins at the wedding of Goemon Ishikawa XIII and his fiancée Murasaki Suminawa. During the ceremony, the Suminawa family heirloom, a valuable antique urn, is entrusted to Goemon. Before the ceremony is completed, several ninja attack and attempt to steal the urn. Lupin and his colleagues fight off the ninja, but during the confusion, another group of ninja kidnap Murasaki and leave a ransom note. They will trade Murasaki for the antique urn. Meanwhile, Inspector Zenigata has retired to a Buddhist temple following the apparent death of his long-time quarry, Lupin. Kazami, a colleague from the police force, tries to persuade him to return to work. Zenigata has "no interest in a world without Lupin." Kazami shows Zenigata a photograph of Lupin taken that very day at the disrupted wedding. Zenigata comes out of retirement and resumes his lifelong pursuit of Lupin. At the Suminawa household, Clan Elder Suminawa explains to Goemon that the urn holds the secret location of the Suminawa family treasure. The Fuma Clan ninja, who attacked during the wedding, have been trying to steal the urn for centuries. He refuses to trade the family urn for his granddaughter Murasaki, so Lupin steals it. Lupin and Jigen discover that the urn contains a hidden drawing revealing the location of the treasure: a cave deep in the mountains. Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon follow the ransom note instructions and exchange the urn for Murasaki. The ninja double cross them and start shooting. Inspector Zenigata and his officers arrive in time to see Lupin his friends escape on a train. The race is on as Lupin and company try to beat the Fuma Clan to the treasure, with Zenigata in hot pursuit. Following a lead, Fujiko discovers the Fuma Clan headquarters, but they discover her. Inspector Kazami has been working for the Boss of the Fuma Clan. They have also discovered the map on the urn. Now that the urn is useless, they tie up Fujiko and Kazami puts the urn over her head to mock her. The Boss, Kazami, and the ninja leave for the treasure cave. Fujiko escapes by enticing the lone guard to scratch her back. When he does so, she bashes the urn on her head into the face of the guard. As she escapes, she sees a golden key among the urn shards. She takes the key and keeps it secret. Inside the treasure cave, Suminawa confronts The Boss. He disarms Suminawa and has him thrown over the cliff. When Murasaki and Goemon arrive, they begin negotiating the trap-laden caves beneath the mountain to find the ancient treasure. Murasaki discovers a secret passage--the Boss and the Fuma Clan ninjas follow, stealthily. Goemon enters a hall lined with samurai armor. His entrance has triggered the hall to fill with a hallucinogenic gas. The gas causes him to attack Lupin and his friends, and in the scuffle he inadvertently injures Murasaki. After surviving the gas, Lupin and company enter a large cavern, where they find an old castle furnished from top to bottom with items of solid gold. They are ambushed by the Fuma Clan; Kazami captures Murasaki and holds her hostage at knife point. Not wanting to cause the death of Goemon, Murasaki throws herself off the castle roof, taking the treacherous Kazami with her. Enraged, Goemon pursues the Boss in a running battle across the roof, ending with the Boss' death. Lupin and Jigen rescue Murasaki, who had just managed to catch a ledge to prevent her from falling to her death. At the cave entrance, Zenigata and his officers rescue Suminawa from the river at the base of the cliff. He explains that the cave is rigged to collapse, because the golden fail-safe key in the urn has been lost. Zenigata and Suminawa rush into the cave and arrive at the castle just in time to tell Lupin and friends about the collapse. Zenigata and Suminawa exit via the main tunnel, but Lupin's group exits through a distant tunnel and escapes from Zenigata and his officers. Fujiko saved a gold roof tile, but refuses to share it and rides off on her motorcycle. Goemon bids farewell to his fiancée, declaring that he must undergo training to address his weaknesses; only then, will he return to marry Murasaki. She calls out to him, declaring that she won't wait for him. Goemon looks back at Murasaki for a moment, then continues on his journey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Plot of the Fuma Clan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
