The Blood Spray of Ishikawa Goemon will premiere in Japanese theaters on February 4, 2017.Images released today show a decidedly younger Lupin and Goemon, as well as a new, brutish villain known as The Bermuda Spectre. By all accounts, the film is pitching itself as a prequel to the long-running franchise. While we have seen and heard various accounts of the first meeting between the two characters (a notable one being in the 30th anniversary special Episode 0: First Contact), this could well put them all to shame.
If we go back to some of the earliest accounts in the manga, Goemon hangs out with Lupin and the gang because he wants Lupin dead -- in particular, Goemon wants to be the one to kill him. Whether this will hold true in the upcoming film is anyone's guess, but seeing as the recent run of Lupin media has gone back to some much older concepts (such as Goemon and Fujiko being an item), it just might.
