What happens

Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon (Japanese: ルパン三世 バビロンの黄金伝説, Hepburn: Rupan Sansei Babiron no Ōgon Densetsu) is a 1985 Japanese animated heist comedy film directed by Seijun Suzuki and Shigetsugu Yoshida from a screenplay by Yoshio Urasawa and Atsushi Yamatoya. It is the third animated feature film based on the 1967–69 manga series Lupin III by Monkey Punch. It was released on subtitled VHS and LaserDisc in North America by AnimEigo in 1994 under the "Rupan III" name, due to copyright concerns with Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin. In 2018, Discotek Media released it on DVD and Blu-ray under its original name with an English dub. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
