Voiced by: Inori Minase (Japanese), Cristina Valenzuela (English)
A young computer prodigy who is the main lenchpin of Marco Polo's operations.
- Broken Bird: She was kidnapped as a young girl by a child pornography ring, and would have ended up another of their rape victims if one of her captors hadn't noticed her aptitude with computers and convinced his fellows that she'd make them more money that way. Then she was practically imprisoned for most of her life till Lupin showed up.
- But Not Too Foreign: Like many other characters of the franchise, she has a Japanese mother and a foreign father.
- Catchphrase: "Hello Underworld" (in activating her software) and "It's not Amy (Emmy in the dub), it's Am-I!"
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She goes from being emotionally closed off and distant towards Lupin to becoming more open and vulnerable with him before eventually falling in love with him.
- Emotionless Girl: Due to her upbringing, she doesn't emote much. Though her time with Lupin breaks her of that.
- I Choose to Stay: When Lupin asks her to join him in the end, she decides to stay with her father instead.

- Sixth Ranger: For part 5. It remains to be seen if she'll ever be seen outside of this show though.
- Smitten Teenage Girl: Becomes one to Lupin later in the series, constantly blushing when she gets too close to him and when he compliments her. She later outright states to Fujiko she considers her a rival. However, she's a Hopeless Suitor, as Lupin treats her more like a favorite niece than a love interest.
- Symbolic Baptism: After traveling through the desert for days and they finally come upon water. Ami dunks her head into water and when she pulls her head back out it's the first time we see both of her eyes at the same time and a new expression on her face.
- Techno Wizard: If there's a computer, she can practically work magic with it.

Goro "Yata" Yatagarasu
Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki (Japanese), Kaiji Tang (English)
Zenigata's partner.
- By-the-Book Cop: Kinda, he's a straight-laced detective but is also respectful of Zenigata's opinions.
- Naïve Newcomer: New to the whole "chasing Lupin" thing and often has to be told by Zenigata not to fall for Lupin's tricks. Twice he's had a side-arm destroyed after attempting the usual hold-at-gunpoint routine.
- Named After Someone Famous: In a way, he's named after Zenigata's long-time seiyuu Gorō Naya.
- Number Two: He's this to Zenigata.
"Marco Polo"
A collective that runs an infamous dark web currency exchange.
- Arc Villain: The main villains of "Episode One"
- Back for the Finale: They're shown in jail cells in the final arc of the series, but were allowed to follow the news of the new Lupin ARG hunt, commenting on whether the new facial technology can really bring him down.
- The Man Behind the Curtain: They're built up as this ominous faceless group. In reality, it's just a pompous drug runner named Chuck Glay, a cross dressing goth named Kunal Robinson, and a businesswoman named Sonia Boutella running the show. When actually confronted face to face (Lupin for Chuck, Jigen for Kunal, and Goemon for Sonia), they fold like cards in the presence of real danger.
- Oh, Crap!:
- The three ringleaders get this when they find their names on "Death Day" dead pool and are set to be hunted.
- Chuck when he finds a very much alive Lupin in his hideout.
- Outgambitted: Twice over. When Lupin took Ami with her, they tried to make an ARG through the net to find him. However, Lupin just flies outside of police jurisdiction and even uses the ARG to his advantage to mock them. So the group hire some assassins to kill him... and they all end up killed when Lupin tricks them all into killing each other. One assassin seemingly kills Lupin but it turns out it was just a filter to make it look like such. The "assassin" was just Jigen helping to fake his death and the drone that captured the footage was under Ami's control the whole time. After which Lupin, Goemon and Jigen easily take care of the ringleaders and shut down the dark net. To add insult to injury, Fujiko ends up with all their money due to betting in their dead pool from the assassin game on who would "kill" Lupin.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Sonia instantly tries to cut ties with Chuck and Kunal once outted on the Death Day board and set to run. Only to be stopped by Goemon.
Albert D'Andresy
Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda (Japanese), Yuu Kobayashi (Lupin Zero) (Japanese), Kaiser Johnson (English)
A rival from Lupin's past who works for GDSE, a clandestine organization.
- Always Someone Better: Was this to Lupin back in the day when he was starting out.
- Ambition Is Evil: What separates Albert from the likes of Lupin is that Albert has placed a great amount of emphasis on rising to power through the French government, unlike Lupin who lives solely for the thrill of the chase. Albert is willing to cast aside most morals in exchange for power, which makes him much more dangerous to innocent people than Lupin is.
- Blatant Lies: Lupin reminds him of an encounter in Mexico when a tiger-headed guard nearly killed him until Lupin saved him. Albert had forgotten the encounter until it was brought back up to which he lies he doesn't remember. Lupin calls him out on it.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: Lupin knows him for it and he demonstrates it by dealing with the official that had hired Jose in the first place.
- Crazy-Prepared: Lupin's first encounter with him in the present day had Lupin thinks he switched out his gun with one full of blanks and implanted a bomb in his car as a backup. Albert was ready for both of them having switched the gun with another one loaded with real bullets and finding the bomb and throwing it off the bridge. So when Lupin tried to detonate the bomb, it blew up in the river.
- Dirty Cop: One of the directors of a French police organization, and exceptionally corrupt, with great ambition and desire to take over France and gain more power.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Albert has a boyfriend, and while they're rarely onscreen together Albert does seem to care about the man.
- Evil Counterpart: Albert D'Andresy is best described as "Lupin with ambition." They're both thieves, although Albert has since strayed from that path. They're both genius criminals, and Albert even has a Psychotic Smirk that mirrors Lupin's Cheshire Cat Grin. As The Rival, Albert is also notable for directly opposing Lupin's code of life; whereas Lupin is a Lovable Rogue due to his desire to help others and code of honor, Albert is dishonorable and has no interest but his own rising power. This even comes through to the way they treat their teammates; while Lupin is kind to his gang and has a friendly relationship with all of them, Albert mostly works alone and manipulates others as he sees fit.
- Graceful Loser: After realizing the notebook he took off of Lupin was fake, he laughs it off and concedes the victory to Lupin.
- Manipulative Bastard: He tricks Lupin into getting the black book for him by posing as a client that, as Lupin would find out later, is long since deceased.
- Mythology Gag: In Maurice Leblanc original "Arsene Lupin" novels that inspired Lupin III, the original Arsene Lupin's mother is named Henriette D'Andresy. The shared surname marks Albert as a blood rival of Lupin.
- Straight Gay: Revealed to have a male partner.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Lupin after the black book is stolen and Jose's group start carrying out assassinations using the information within.
- The Rival: As stated, he's a rival of Lupin's, and Lupin considered him Always Someone Better in their years as criminals. By the present, their rivalry continues although Albert is in a very different place in life. It is revealed in Lupin Zero that Lupin's father and grandfather set them up as rivals since they were kids.
- Would Hurt a Child: Has no problem dealing with Jose's youngest minion, both by blinding them and stringing them up with their wire afterward.
Jose's Group
A foursome of assassins led by a man named Jose, hired to get the black book that hold France's darkest secrets.
General
- Arc Villain: Of "Episode 2"
- Carnival of Killers: Again a very quirky but deadly bunch.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Three of them die violently and painfully, and Jose gets shot through the heart before trying to suicide-bomb Lupin and Albert. They're a sharp sign that the part was heading for Darker and Edgier territory, and their demises serve as a gruesome reminder that Lupin and the gang really don't screw around when it comes to life or death.
Jose
Voiced by: Issei Futamata (Japanese), Frank Todaro (English)
- Artificial Limbs: His left arm is mechanical.
- I Fight for the Strongest Side!: Initially working with the head of the GDSE to get the black book. When he managed to nab it from Albert, he sold the secrets to the highest bidder and betrayed him.
- The Leader: Of his group, he calls all the shots and directions his minions.
- Rocket Punch: A variant. He is able to fire out his fist with a line connected to his wrist so he can grab his opponents and shock them from a distance.

- Taking You with Me: After he's fatally shot by Albert, he activates a explosive in his coat to try and kill both Lupin and Albert. Lupin noticed in time and pulled Albert away.
- You Have Failed Me: Does not tolerate failure in the slightest. He nearly kills Revenant for it and has a henchman killed for giving away their location to Lupin and Albert.
Revenant
- Ambiguous Gender: It's never revealed if the person is a man or a woman, so the gender is unspecified.
- Meaningful Name: Named as such due to the damage Revenant takes (getting shot and electrocuted) and yet manages to shrug it off enough to be fine in the next encounter.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Lupin tricks Revenant into an iron maiden and closes it. Killing them quite gruesomely.
- The Faceless: Revenant’s face is hidden behind a mask the entire time.
- The Gunslinger: When not in close ranger, Revenant opts for shooting.
- The Voiceless: Doesn't speak a word of dialogue.
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Lupin tries to get Revenant to fight close range by breaking out nun-chucks. Revenant seems to comply by readying their tonfas... before just turning their guns on Lupin and opening fire.
Chlo
Voiced by: Ren Katou (Japanese), Stephanie Sheh (English)
- Ax-Crazy: She's unhinged to say the least.

- Eye Scream: Albert defeats Araignee by throwing Araingee’s spear right into their good eye.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Defeated by the spear Araignee used as a weapon. Ironically Araingee was trying to inflict this on Albert by using his gun to kill him.
- Meaningful Name: Their name is French for "spider", fitting well with their use of Razor Floss.
- Razor Floss: Uses a wire with a spear on it as the main weapon. It's quite strong too, managing to send a motorcycle Lupin and Jigan were riding out of the air.
Princess Dolma

Princess of Padar who Ami befriends in her boarding school. Gets caught up on both Lupin's attempt to steal her necklace, as well as a plot that involves the fate of the nation of Padar.
