Lupin III: Missed by a Dollar

Lupin the 3rd: Missed by a Dollar (ルパン三世 1$マネーウォーズ) is a 2000 Lupin the 3rd television special. The story follows Lupin III and his gang as they compete with a greedy banker and her minions to solve a mystery leading to a treasure said to hold the power of history's most powerful rulers. Lupin attends an auction in New York City bidding on an antique ring that holds the secret location to a legendary brooch. The brooch is said to bring good fortune to whomever wears it, and has been in the possession of notable leaders such as Napoleon, Lenin, and Hitler. When a bidder outbids him by one dollar, he decides to take the more traditional route and steal it. However, a heavily armed group of men led by Alex Nabikov attempts to relieve him of his prize. Their boss is none other than Cynthia Craymov, head of the Bank of the World. Lupin gathers the troops to try to steal the ring back from Craymov's heavily protected headquarters. He succeeds in stealing it once again but appears to be fatally shot as they make their getaway. If Lupin is dead, who will stop Cynthia from obtaining the brooch? The anime was produced by TMS Entertainment, directed by Hideki Tonokatsu, and was released in the United States by Funimation Entertainment in 2006.
