"LUPIN THE IIIRD: Goemon Ishikawa's Blood Spray" Blu-ray Introduction

A story starring a legendary swordsman
Released in 2017 as the second installment of the "LUPIN THE IIIRD" series directed by Takeshi Takagi, "Ishikawa Goemon's Blood Spray" focuses on Ishikawa Goemon, one of the most popular members of the Lupin gang. Goemon, who has captivated many fans with his quiet demeanor, sharp gaze, and outstanding swordsmanship, is depicted as sticking to his beliefs and the path of the sword.

Set aboard a casino cruise ship, Goemon Ishikawa, a modern-day samurai, is hired as a bodyguard for a Yakuza boss. But things change with the arrival of Hawk, a fearsome assassin known as the "Ghost of Bermuda." Incredibly, the world-famous thief Lupin III is also targeting the same ship. Having failed to protect his employer in the chaos, Goemon resolves to redeem his honor with blood. But this foe is unlike any he's ever faced. To set things right, he'll need to reforge not only his sword, but himself as well—with the help of Lupin and Jigen, of course. Director Takeshi Takagi's latest Lupin film unfolds a tale of blood and steel that's sure to move even the most discerning Goemon fan.

Blu-ray format for high-quality picture and sound

This Blu-ray delivers high-quality 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 encoding with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The meticulously detailed sword fights and Goemon's facial expressions are vividly displayed, allowing you to immerse yourself in the world of the film. The sound of swords cutting through the air, gunfire, and tense music also fully immerse you in the film's atmosphere.

The 54-minute feature is compact yet well-balanced between action and character portrayal in its two-act structure. The outdoor car chase scene is particularly impressive, and director Takeshi Takagi's unique animation style keeps you glued to the screen from start to finish as Lupin and his friends perform their deeds.

Lupin World for Adults

This film is darker than the usual Lupin III series, and contains more realistic violence, making it more suitable for adults.
