Zenigata Works at a Temple
Following a relentless pursuit of Lupin, inspector Zenigata is finally successful in capturing him. Apprehended, the thief is executed by hanging. Afterwards, the inspector realizes how much of his life had revolved around finding Lupin. Lacking purpose, Zenigata resigns from Interpol and begins working at a Buddhist temple. However, Interpol members visit Zenigata to give him the news that Lupin is likely still alive. Feeling he has purpose again, Zenigata runs right through the door and off to find Lupin.
Background:
A fairly long sequence that was removed from the film entirely. Likely omitted for pacing, the movie instead starts with the coroner's report and jumps right into Zenigata finding out that Lupin faked his death. Despite being removed, a brief glimpse of Zenigata jumping through a door from this deleted scene was featured in the trailer.
Almost ten years later, the concept around this deleted scene, of Zenigata working at a Buddhist temple as he believed Lupin was dead, was included at the start of Lupin the 3rd: The Fuma Conspiracy (1987). |
