What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The Gold of Babylon, stone tablets, and the mystery surrounding Rosetta organize the competing searches.
Lupin, two Mafia families, and Zenigata’s female partners all compete around the treasure hunt.
The Lupin crew’s master-thief escapades and action-comedy tone depend on exaggerated animated movement and peril.
The drunken old woman Rosetta appears to know far more about the Gold of Babylon than her appearance suggests.
