Lupin vs. Detective Conan TV Special - Anime Review

As I’m a fan of the anime series Lupin and Detective Conan, I thought today, that I would review this crossover special. This crossover special follows the murder of Queen Sakura, while she is out hunting. Queen Sakura comes from the sovereign of the European absolute kingdom of Vespania. Queen Sakura is accidently shot while hunting from her son (Prince Gill), and Prince Gill commits suicide, when he becomes overcome by guilt. The heir to the throne of Vespania is Princess Mira (she looks identical to Ran), and rejects the throne of Vespania, because she thinks that she is not the rightful heir.

Duke Keith (chief of Commons) makes Jigen the personal bodyguard of the princess (Mira). Lupin plans to steal the crown of Vespania. I thought that the small game that Princess Mira, Fujiko and Ran play with one another in Japan, was interesting, as it shows the difference between Princess Mira and Ran. As this special crossover was playing out, I thought that the ending of it with Lupin, was interesting, as it shows that Lupin has a heart of gold, similar in the vein of Lupin and the castle of Cagliostro. Overall, I enjoyed this crossover special a lot, and I can’t wait to see what adventures Lupin and the Detective Conan gang have together, in Lupin vs. Detective the Movie.
