◇The following contains spoilers

The story is about a Ministry of Education bureaucrat, Mikami (played by Matsuzaka), who is trying to change the Japanese education system, and is seconded to a private high school, Rintoku Gakuin. He takes to the podium himself, guiding 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era, while standing up to authority.

Jigen shows his classmate Kanzaki (Daiken Okudaira) to his room in the factory. There are many "Lupin the Third" figures and PCs, and Tominaga (Aju Makita), who accompanied them, can't hide his surprise, saying, "Wow, that's amazing!"

Jigen shouts, "Hey Lupin. Turn on your PC!" and the PC starts up with a voice saying, "Here you go!" Jigen explains that he created an original version of an AI that recognizes voices, and that the name "Lupin AI" comes from his nickname, "Jigen."

"Yes, I am Lupin!" the AI ​​replied with aplomb. The voice was provided by Kan'ichi Kurita, who voices Lupin in the anime series "Lupin the Third."

Miyazaki Yohei, the director of this film, wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account, "Jigen's house is full of Lupin merchandise. In fact, outside Jigen's auto repair shop is secretly the car that Lupin drove in The Castle of Cagliostro. Jigen's room will appear from here frequently, so look forward to it!"

On social media, comments such as "It was so fun! Jigen's room is amazing", "The scene in Jigen's room was great. I shouted out in the voice of the real Lupin voice actor", "I can't believe they went to the trouble of using the real Lupin's voice...I was so happy and excited", "Kurikan-san! Jigen, Lupin and Lupin's car - it was like a secret base and Jigen's house was fun", "A Lupin collaboration that only Jigen could have. It was a heartwarming scene amidst the tense developments", and "Jigen's room was of super high quality that any Lupin otaku would drool over. It was a Lupin collector's room."
