Plot summary
A set of antique photographic plates that carry the key to a treasure from the Edo period is on its way to Michael Suzuki, a multi-millionaire art dealer days from opening a water park in Tokyo. Arsène Lupin III plans to intercept the plates, and the job misfires. His crew is in no shape for it: marksman Daisuke Jigen is nursing a toothache that spoils his aim, and Goemon Ishikawa's sword has been stolen and now sits in Suzuki's collection. Inspector Koichi Zenigata keeps up the Lupin chase with Maria Isshiki, a young reporter assigned to the case who would rather write about Suzuki.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Lupin the Third: Tokyo Crisis (1998)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The theme song "Akogare" was sung by Megumi Hayashibara, who voiced guest heroine Mariya Ishiki, but was credited to "Mariya" because Hayashibara was an exclusive King Records singer while the single was released by VAP.
- This was the first Lupin TV special to put Inspector Zenigata at the centre of the story, rather than keeping him at the margins as the pursuing officer.
- The jazz pub "G.H nine", where Lupin and Fujiko meet in the film, really exists in Ueno, Tokyo, and Yuji Ohno, who has composed the music for the Lupin series, appeared in the scene; the pub has since closed.
