Ep 23. The Great Gold Showdown!

After successfully completing a heist of a gold shipment, Lupin and the gang are confronted by a group of gunmen who demand that they hand over the loot. Lupin, ever the master of disguise, manages to trick the gunmen into thinking that they have already handed over the gold. The gang members then run off, leaving the gunmen to realize that they have been duped.

Meanwhile, Inspector Zenigata is hot on Lupin's trail as usual, determined to catch him and put him behind bars once and for all. When Lupin learns of a secret underground auction of stolen treasures, he sees an opportunity to get his hands on some more loot. The auction is being held by a wealthy and powerful figure known only as "The Boss," and Lupin is determined to infiltrate the event and make off with the prize items.

As Lupin and his gang prepare to attend the auction in disguise, they run into a young woman named Fujiko Mine, who is also looking to get her hands on some of the treasure up for auction. Lupin agrees to team up with her, but he quickly realizes that she may not be all she seems. As the auction gets underway, Lupin and Fujiko find themselves in a dangerous game of cat and mouse as they try to outwit both The Boss and Inspector Zenigata.

With the stakes high and the tension mounting, Lupin and his gang must use all of their skills and resources to come out on top. As they race against the clock to get their hands on the treasure before anyone else, they must also stay one step ahead of Zenigata and his team of police officers. Will Lupin and his gang be able to pull off the heist of a lifetime, or will they finally meet their match in The Boss and his heavily armed security team?
