Lupin decides to steal digital currency from Marco Polo on the dark web and enlists the aid of the developer of the security system of the bank: Ami.

However, almost immediately upon their return to their hideout, Zenigata and his men surround the place. They discover that Zenigata easily found them because a new online game, "Arrest Lupin III" has gone viral with people posting sightings of Lupin. A chase ensues, with Lupin becoming increasingly frustrated at the intense pursuit.

The Lupin Game
The chase continues, with Lupin, Daisuke, Goemon and Ami arriving at an airport. They steal an electric car, but become trapped in a hangar by Zenigata and surrounded by the police. Within the hangar is an AW609 airplane, and with Ami's hacking skills, and the energy from the electric car battery, they start the plane and escape. They then board a cruise ship to Bwanda which is not an ICPO member nation so Zenigata cannot touch them. While there Ami wanders off and is attacked by street thugs, but is rescued by Lupin. They discuss her relationship with the team and Lupin says that she should stay with them for protection from Marco Polo. Suddenly they come under attack from bounty hunters. There is now a new online game, betting on the day Lupin will die.

Soon after receiving a letter from Goemon, Ami contacts Marco Polo and proceeds to their headquarters in order to work out a deal. Marco Polo's CEO, Chuck Glay, instead catches her in a deathtrap, threatening to kill her unless she spills everything about Lupin, including the whereabouts of the money he purloined from Marco Polo. However, this scenario is revealed as a trap set by Lupin for Glay and his fellow instigators of the Happy Deathday game, using Ami's hacking expertise and the aid of his associates Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko. Zenigata, who knew Lupin was too clever to be killed so easily, collars Glay for drug dealing, and Ami, inspired by her experiences, enrolls at a girls boarding school to catch up on the real life she has missed.

Lupin vs. the Smart Safe
In order to save their family workshop from foreclosure, the younger brother suggests to his brainless older brother that Lupin may be the answer to their financial problem. They build a smart safe for the Greater Tokyo Bank which can only opened by someone with no brainpower, as a special challenge to Lupin, the world's greatest thief. Stung by the resilience of this obstacle, Jigen, Fujiko and Goemon begin to implement a sadistic sleep deprivation, beating and exercise regime to kill off Lupin's brain cells. However, at the publicized event of the safe's opening, Lupin instead consumes lots of blueback fish, boosting his brains so that the safe's IQ counter is overloaded and resets itself, thus opening the safe. While the contest ends in a draw, the brothers become celebrities and begin selling canned fish, recovering their property.

His Name is Albert
Lupin is hired by his old friend Gaston to steal a certain painting - a Picasso forgery ostensibly painted by Gaston's grandchild - from the vault of Mr. B, a compulsive art collector. Lupin succeeds in his heist, but discovers in short order that the Gaston who hired Lupin was an impostor, since the real one died a month ago, and that the painting is the hiding-place for a notebook containing information about high-level crimes hushed up by the French police, evidence which would topple a number of high-level personnages if its contents went public. For this, he and Jigen end up chased by the DSGE and Albert, an old - and unfavored - individual from Lupin's past.

Realizing that Albert set him up to gain possession of the notebook, Lupin returns to Paris to challenge him; but despite his precautions, Albert gets the drop on him, shoots him severely, and recovers the notebook.

Meanwhile, with the presidential elections approaching, José uses the book as leverage against the government, allowing terrorists to wreak havoc with impunity in order to swing public favor toward his patron, the right-winged election candidate Calvess.

Get Pablo's Collection
Just before New Year's Day, Lupin remembers a former caper in which he and his gang attempted to grab the legendary collection of Pablo, a notorious drug kingpin who disappeared in the South American jungle. Eventually they discovered Pablo's secret hideaway for his collection of first-class vintage cars, but found themselves challenged by a car which was strangely invulnerable to their attacks. Lupin dared his opponent to a race across Pablo's old jungle race track and won; the challenger was revealed to be the ghost of Pablo himself, and his car collection, long since overcome by degradation, to be nothing but scrap metal. In addition, they were hunted by Pablo's surviving family members, who were after the collection themselves, and their corrupt Brazilian Army cohorts. Although initially intent on fleeing on their own, Lupin, Jigen and Goemon ended up battling their pursuers together, while Fujiko just barely made her escape alone.

The Extravagance of Goemon Ishikawa XIII
Goemon is coerced by Lupin into to winning the confidence of the young woman Chloé Cazal. She was apparently a close friend of the late Belgian millionaire André Regnie, who gave her an immensely valuable gem necklace made before the Russian Revolution, which has made Chloé a target for the descendants of its original owners. While looking for her in the town of Sirena (and struggling with the attention of a local Anicon's visitors), Goemon befriends a boy named Jean who lives in Chloé's neighbourhood. He moves into Jean’s parents' hotel to watch over her, spending all his money on expenses and fending off several hired assassins in the process. However, Goemon later discovers that the girl is actually the Chloé's daughter Inés, and that her necklace is a forgery. Inés had acted as bait to enable her mother to sell the real necklace. In the end, with no money left, Goemon asks to stay with Inés to work off his accumulated hotel bill.

The Bow, The Princess, and the Terrorist
Lupin's next target is the Bloody Teardrop, a national treasure of the south-east Asian kingdom of Padar which is currently worn by the royal princess Dolma, a very independent and forceful girl. As fate wills it, Dolma attends the same boarding school as Ami and has even - as a fellow oddball - become friends with her. A terrorist group calling itself the Whales of Liberation occupy the school and takes the students and teachers (including Fujiko, who has infiltrated the institute for the jewel) hostage. Fujiko frees Ami, and they team up to take them down from within, aided by Lupin's gang, who have also discovered the terrorists' presence. However, one of the teachers reveals himself as McGuire, a CIA special agent, who prepares to spirit Dolma away because, as he states, Pandar is in danger.

As they all investigate the princess' whereabouts, they stumble right into an imminent coup d'état committed by Padar's High Priest, the leader of the traditionalists, and covertly supported by Padar's army and the American government, which plans to depose the old king and install Dolma as a puppet ruler.

Her Relationship With Lupin
Betrayed by Dolma, Lupin and Ami escape with the aid of Fujiko, who has also claimed the Bloody Teardrop. The king has gone into hiding, whereupon the revolutionists declare martial law in the city in order to capture him and force him to abdicate. It also turns out that McGuire is really Ugo, a native Padarian, who was originally tasked with assassinating the princess, but has switched sides in order to prevent his country from sliding into open civil war. Dolma has decided to join the traditionalists in order to eventually defeat them from within, knowing that she will otherwise not stand a chance without the support of her subjects. Fujiko and Ami evade the army with Lupin in their care, but Fujiko soon abandons the two to fend for themselves. Just before they can be captured, the king, assisted by the communications conglomerate Shake Hands, successfully stages a counter-revolution; and at that critical moment, Lupin finds himself confronted by Fujiko about his true feelings for her.
