Beloved criminal Lupin III has his sights set on a new score: the crown of the Vespanian royal family! His timing, however, couldn't be worse. The sudden death of the queen and prince of Vespania has thrown the country into disarray, and while that won't hurt the gentleman burglar's efforts, it comes with a small problem... and that problem's name is Conan Edogawa! Throw in a royal case of mistaken identity, along with a shadowy plot born from greed, and it's a stage appropriately set for a clash between the world's greatest thief and the world's greatest detective!

Where it came from
Released in 2009, Lupin the 3rd vs. Detective Conan was produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha as a landmark television special to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Nippon Television and the 50th anniversary of Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation. The production aimed to merge two of the most iconic pillars of Japanese animation, pitting the gentleman thief Lupin III against the brilliant teenage detective Conan Edogawa in a high-stakes crossover event that required meticulous balancing of their disparate narrative tones.
The project was helmed by director Hajime Kamegaki, who sought to integrate the kinetic, comedic style of the Lupin franchise with the methodical mystery-solving elements of Detective Conan. The screenplay navigated the complex challenge of aligning characters who inhabit different cinematic universes, focusing on a plot involving a royal assassination and a rare jewel. Upon its broadcast, the special was met with widespread critical and commercial success in Japan, eventually leading to a full-length theatrical feature film sequel in 2013.
