Arsène
Lupin III and amateur sleuth Shinichi Kudo, aka Conan Edogawa, become
involved in an investigation into the death of Queen Sakura and
Prince Gill of the kingdom of Vesparand. Conan’s best friend and
would-be love interest, Ran Mori, is a dead ringer for Princess Mira. Shinichi
(or Jimmy in the English dubbed version) Kudo, aka Conan Edogawa, is
from Gosho Aoyama’s
manga
Detective
Conan (aka
Case
Closed)
and its anime
adaptation.
Philip José
Farmer
identified Lupin III’s grandfather, Arsène
Lupin, as a Wold Newton Family member, and therefore this crossover
brings Conan Edogawa into the CU. Lupin
and Conan encounter each other again in the film Lupin
III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie.
I've never seen this. I remember reading a review of that was very negative, but whoever wrote this was big Lupin fan who hated Detective Conan. So his opinion is suspect. (I am personally a much bigger Lupin fan than Detective Conan, but he had a real hate going on it.)
