History Anime / LupinIIIByeByeLibertyCrisis

Lupin has decided to give up his life of crime when he finds out that New Scotland Yard's new supercomputer can predict his every move. Still, Jigen comes with a proposition for one last job, which involves stealing a large diamond called the Super Egg from the Statue of Liberty. However, when they are later joined by the young computer whiz-kid Michael and the lovely lady Isabelle, who hides a lot more than she lets on, and an evil organization called the Three Masons is hot on their trail, they start learning of a terrible secret that might cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

This special was for many years one of the only bits of the ''Lupin III'' franchise that saw release in the UK, but not the US. Thankfully, Creator/DiscotekMedia (ever the champions of ''Lupin'') announced that they would give the special a DVD release in the US, including its rare English dub, under the title ''Bye Bye Lady Liberty''. For a long time, this was the only ''Lupin'' special outside of Creator/{{Funimation}}'s block to have an English dub, until Creator/DiscotekMedia announced that they would dub of ''Anime/LupinIIIBloodSealEternalMermaid'' in 2018.
