Official Report
The latest "Lupin the IIIrd" movie, "LUPIN THE ⅢRD: The Bloody Smoke of Ishikawa Gomon," will be released nationwide on February 4, 2016 (Saturday).
To commemorate the release of "LUPIN THE ⅢRD: Ishikawa Gomon in the Smoke of Blood", an event was held at Shinjuku Wald 9 on this day, showing the film in succession with the previous film "Tombstone of Daisuke Dimeji". Director Ken Koike, Daisuke Namikawa, who voices Ishikawa Gomon, and producer Yu Jozono appeared on stage. As a surprise, a comment from Seiji Kobayashi, the voice actor of Daisuke Dimentional, was introduced.

About this work, "Ishikawa Gomon in the Smoke of Blood
Mr. Namikawa
The Lupin that you know and love has many entertaining and funny scenes, but this Lupin is a much harder version with a taste close to the original work. This time, however, Lupin's story is very hard-hitting and close to the original. It is the story of the still immature Gomon's awakening, and is very tense.
I think we can take the first step together.

Mr. Jouen
This is a work in which Gomon's position is reevaluated. The previous "Tombstone of Daisuke Dimeji" focuses on the relationship between Lupin and Dimeji, but the inclusion of Gemon Ishikawa amplifies the drama, tension, and distance between the two men.
This is a work that has an edge among the Lupin films.

Director Ken Koike
Since Gemon is the main character, the fight scenes are spectacular, but the film is not only about the action, it is also about the careful depiction of emotions and other aspects.

Mr. Kobayashi (surprise comment)

I am Daisuke Dimeji. I'm Daisuke Dimentional. Starting with "Tombstone of Daisuke Dimentional," this series of works has a different flavor from the main series.

Moreover, you will enjoy the precise depiction. This time, Gomon's fierce fight to the death is outstanding.
Gomon's dashing and dashing appearance can be seen. Especially in the scene where he shows 50 slayings, each person is depicted as a different person. It is amazing. Please go slowly and enjoy.

What are the highlights of the film?
Mr. Namikawa.
If you start from "Tombstone of Daisuke Dimentional", you can see the difference between guns and swords, and as Mr. Seishi mentioned earlier, in the scene where 50 people are slain, we recorded the voices of all the slayers and slain.

Director Ken Koike
The film carefully depicts Gemon's action and his rise from the bottom.
I hope you enjoy it.

Mr. Joizono
In this work, there is a sense of distance between Gemon and Lupin/Dimension, and a sense of distance when the enemy attacks again. The tension, urgency, and pressure of Gomon pulling out his sword are depicted in this film without running away from them, and we can understand that Gomon Ishikawa is in Lupin's gang because of his way of life and this drama.

Director Koike commented on this series of screenings, "I am happy and honored to be able to hold a series of screenings two years after the last one.
In response to the fact that this year marks the 50th anniversary of Lupin the Third, Joizono commented, "I feel the weight of this year's anniversary. I was impressed that Mr. Monkey Punch created the 50th anniversary logo.

The audience was in a friendly atmosphere from start to finish, and the event closed with a round of applause for the top creators after they finished their stage addresses.
