Lupin the Third: Return of Pycal

2002, Japanese. Directed by Mamoru Hamatsu.

The toughest enemies die hard or is it that more like hardly die?

Lupin steals an extraordinary gem from a Mediterranean party, only to be interrupted by Pycal, the trickster "magician" who had apparently died fighting Lupin early in his career. Pycal, now armed with real magical abilities, is determined to take revenge.
