Edgar from the heist really doesn’t have a minute to himself. In its last 4 years, the franchise has returned to the limelight with a Animation Film in 2019 and an animated series in 2021. That said, the franchise does not intend to stop there and is already returning to the charge with new projects.
One of these famous projects is actually a series that bears the title of Lupine Zero.
The first steps of Lupine III
The year 2023 promises to be even busier than the one we are currently going through. While the japanimation industry has never been better, new titles will be appearing very soon. In addition to the well-known, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack of the Titans, or even Demon Slayer, it will also be necessary to count on Lupine III in 2023.
Although Monkey Punch, the iconic mangaka behind this manga, passed away in 2019, his work is still relevant. A brand new project titled Lupine Zero, which revisits Lupin’s childhood, will soon see the light of day. And hold on tight, because the series will debut on December 16 in Japan and will be compiled into 6 episodes.
On the other hand, it is important to specify that the anime will be available abroad only on HIDIVE for its premiere. Without further ado, discover below, the first images of some scenes from the anime Lupine Zero:
