* {{Qipao}}: Fujiko wears a ridiculously high cut one while in Beijing.

* KiAttacks: Grandpa specializes in these, able to attack foes from a distance while motioning as if they were close up. He imparts the knowledge to Goemon, who also gets quite accomplished at it and helps Jigen by empowering his pistol shots.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: As Lupin and Jigen escape with Lisa, claiming to be with ICPO, they pass a KFC with a statue of its famous founder up front. Quickly, Lupin dubs himself "Inspector Colonel" and Jigen becomes "Detective Sanders.". Doubles as LineOfSightName.

''Travels of Marco Polo - Another Page'' is the twenty-fourth MadeForTVMovie in the ''Anime/LupinIII'' franchise. It debuted on November 2, 2012, and has yet to have an official English language release.

The Lupin franchise again goes through an ArtShift, this time back to the mid-1990's character designs found in ''[[Anime/LupinIIIThePursuitOfHarimaosTreasure The Pursuit Of Harimao's Treasure]]'' and ''[[Anime/LupinIIIDragonOfDoom Dragon Of Doom]]''. There's also some design influence from the 2009 ''Anime/LupinIIIVsDetectiveConan'' special.

* KiAttacks: Grandpa specializes in these, able to attack foes from a distance while motioning as if they were close up. He imparts the knowledge to Goemon, who also gets quite accomplished at it.

* GenreSavvy: Zenigata attempts to pull the mask off Lupin's face after his capture, since surely his greatest foe would never surrender. Subverted when it turns out to actually be Lupin. And then played straight again when Lupin breaks himself and Bao Long out of prison.

** Fujiko has ActionGirl levels of kick-ass, instead of relying on her charms as a FemmeFatale; Bernardo starts threatening the ladies he’s holding hostage, only to find out that Fujiko has already taken out his thug, leaving the poor mook in a twitching, groaning heap on the floor. And whatever she did left Claudio cowering the the corner to boot!

* DoubleAgent: Claudio, who is both a peer of Professor Argent, and is part of the upper echelon at Lombardo Industries.

* FrameUp: Lupin accidentally arrives at the university just after Professor Argent is killed, and just in time for the security guards to spot him over the body. Zenigata doesn't buy it for a second, but everyone else is convinced of Lupin's guilt, including Lisa.

* TheClan: The Benkei clan, dedicated to protecting their ancestor's Seven Weapons, as well as locating the lost eighth one.
* CleavageWindow: Played with; Bernardo gloatingly tells Lupin to have a look at the monitor, but instead of the thug holding the ladies hostage, Fujiko’s boobs are nicely framed instead.

It seems Lupin has gone too far this time. In trying to get hold of "Another Page", a lost entry in Marco Polo’s legendary journal of travels, did the master thief really kill an innocent archeologist? The victim’s granddaughter Lisa thinks so, which makes things all the more complicated when Lupin and Jigen pose as ICPO officers and take her into her into their care. They're protecting her from Lombardo Heavy Industries and its ruthless "salesman" Bernardo, merchants of war who are also after Another Page for their own dark, profit-making purposes. Throw in an imprisoned Chinese mafia boss, a mysterious monk training Goemon, and, as usual, the persistent Inspector Zenigata, and things get really complicated as all parties converge to find out the true nature of Another Page.

** Part of the mystery revolves around the question of Kublai Khan being the same person as Minamote no Yoshitsune. This special claims he isn't, which directly contradicts the second series episode "[[Recap/LupinIIIS2E37 Khan Job]]" which claims he is.

* FamousAncestor: Grandpa is actually Musashiba Benkei the 22nd. This creates a dilemma for Goemon; if he goes after Hiromi, he'll be forced to give up the Ishikawa name to become the 23rd!

* AffectionateNickname: Ami starts calling Goemon "Goe-Goe," much to the samurai’s irritation. Even Grandpa eventually starts addressing him as Goe-Goe.
