Lupin III - Addio, amico mio

As usual in Lupin the Third franchise little is known about the characters' past or their personal lives. As it should be. Therefore the writing purposely leaves the viewers with a 50/50 chance for personal interpretation. In this case, is Alisa Jigen's daughter?

For Jigen to betray Lupin's trust, Alisa must definitely have a special connection to Jigen. Especially the scene when he sees her behind the piano and is taken aback with memories of her mother. The movie revolves around Jigen betraying Lupin in order to protect Alisa, the events that lead to the betrayal and it could seem missing on the consequences, even if it goes without saying that Lupin perfectly understand Jigen's motivations and who's the real culprit to blame behind it all.

Also to note the soundtrack that, besides the always gorgeous themes by Yuji Ohno, makes an excellent use of Chopin's classics in particularly poignant clue scenes.

Fans of the franchise would probably recognise the nod to the original manga by Monkey Punch.
