An Aquamarine gemstone, the Mermaid's Scale, appears in a secret, underground auction. The queen of the underworld (nicknamed the "Bearslayer") coerces the professional jewel-lifter Lupin into stealing the rock for her. Lupin swipes the stone, and quickly discovers not only that it's a forgery, but that the real Mermaid's Scale is part of an unsolved riddle that leads to transcending mortality! Soon, the "Bearslayer" is found murdered in cold blood! Her seemingly immortal young aide, Misa, is kidnapped by the arms dealer Himuro. The race is on for Lupin and his gang to locate the secret to eternal life... before it's used to send the Earth into a state of endless war!

Where it came from
Released in 2011, Lupin the 3rd: Blood Seal of the Eternal Mermaid was produced as a television special to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the franchise. It represents a significant transitional period for the series, serving as the final project to feature Kanichi Kurita as the successor to Yasuo Yamada for the role of Arsène Lupin III, while also marking the last special to utilize the character design aesthetic that defined the mid-2000s specials produced by Telecom Animation Film.
The narrative centers on a quest for the legendary mermaid's scale, blending classic heist tropes with mythological intrigue. Directed by Hajime Kamegaki, the production aimed to balance the series' traditional slapstick humor with a more serious, plot-driven mystery. Upon its release, it was noted by audiences for its refined animation quality and its role in maintaining the continuity of the long-running Lupin III canon during a time when the studio was preparing for future stylistic shifts in the franchise.
