Officially a Lupin III TV Special

Lupin III vs. Detective Conan (ルパン三世 vs 名探偵コナン ,Rupan Sansei vs Meitantei Konan) is a 2009 Lupin III TV Special and a crossover with Detective Conan. It is the 21st Lupin III TV Special and was a joint production between Nihon TV and Yomiuri Television.

Production details

Most of the music used in the special was regular background music from the Lupin III series, and the classic "Lupin III Theme" was used for the opening and ending themes. The "Detective Conan Main Theme" was also used in various scenes focusing on Conan.

Original character designs varied between the Monkey Punch and Gosho Aoyama styles.

Because Detective Conan is considered a family show by Japanese audiences, there was very little adult humor in the special, in contrast to most Lupin specials. Lupin himself even points this out in a scene where he is trying to sleep with Fujiko and he thanks the "regular fanbase for being patient all this time".
