There is a page where Zenigata appears. Just one page, though.

The pairing of Fake Lupin and Lupin is more interesting to me than Fake Lupin and Zenigata. Because it makes their identities stand out more clearly.
09.03.2026 14:50 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Z2L is supposed to be a story where Zenigata takes center stage, yet I sometimes feel guilty about drawing comics where I neglect Zenigata and only feature Fake Lupin. But I can't resist my own desires, so I'll keep drawing Fake Lupin comics where Zenigata doesn't appear in a single panel.

My sister was both impressed and dumbfounded. "Oh, it's just all the splatter scenes you like, sis." lol
I still have over 200 pages to draw before the final episode, so there's still a long way to go.
👏
I just watched the dubbed version. It's frustrating there are no English subtitles for the dub, but I'm glad I got to see it!
My little sister told me, "This is totally packed with all the things you like."

The fact that the English version of Z2L became available on March 3rd (Japan time) is funny, like the official side has joined in.

While not available in the United Kingdom, it seems Lupin the IIIRD: Zenigata and the Two Lupin's is now available with both English and Japanese language audio in the United States?!

Some of the information included in the liner notes is the same as what I explained several years ago, but there are also new explanations I provided in response to their questions. (I think it's best not to go into too much detail before the release, so I'll leave it at that.)
Island of Assassins has almost none of the elements requiring explanation, like puns or Japanese pop culture references from that era, compared to the other four works. So, since they didn't ask about it specifically, I didn't touch on it.

And last up, everyone's favorite gentleman thief caps off the announcements...

The 5 Lupin TV specials from 1994-1998 are here in HD, subbed & dubbed!
Plus galleries, liner notes, alternate versions of Twilight Gemini, & more!
You can read all the included episodes online without obtaining the doujinshi. (Untranslated)

By the way, this episode assumes you've read all the episodes included in my 1st doujinshi.

I'm warning you in advance: it contains R-rated-level gory depictions, so it's not for everyone. "Gory depictions," mind you—not "erotic depictions." Be careful.

I placed a pre-order.
www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4...
Z2L DVD €17
Z2L Blu-ray €20
The Immortal Bloodline DVD €25
Total €62
The Immortal Bloodline Blu-ray Japan-exclusive edition €83(15,180 yen)
Financially, it's a slightly disadvantageous deal for me, but if I can get the Italian version, this is a small price to pay.
If you send me the Italian DVD and Blu-ray of Z2L, the limited edition box, and the Italian DVD of The Immortal Bloodline to my address, I will send you the Japan-exclusive Blu-ray of The Immortal Bloodline in return as a token of my thanks.

“Zenigata and the Two Lupin's” is coming to home video in Italy! 🇮🇹
The film releases March 30th 2026 on Blu-ray and DVD. Those buying the Blu-ray version will receive a limited edition box, which will house all five Koike films (others to be bought separately).

Thank you!
8 years ago, I drew a chapter of about 150 pages all at once, which was tough. This time, each chapter is 10 to 30 pages, so I should feel a sense of accomplishment more frequently. Even though the total page count is higher, it should be easier mentally.
Please pray that my motivation doesn't burn out. I love drawing manga, but drawing pictures is such a hassle, so I always struggle to keep my motivation up. lol
18.02.2026 04:01 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0During production, a TV game I really wanted to play was released, so I set a rule: "After finishing 1 page, I could play for just 1 hour." Who knew I'd end up in a similar situation again?
18.02.2026 03:53 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 08 years ago, when I published a 160-page doujinshi (all pages drawn from scratch), it took about a year to complete. I devoted nearly all my free time to writing the manga.
18.02.2026 03:53 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Finishing a manga of this length within this year is probably impossible, so I'll aim to complete up to Chapter 5. (Planned total: 11 chapters)
18.02.2026 03:52 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 3 📌 0Due to various circumstances, the content has expanded and it looks like it'll be around 200 pages total. (I haven't finalized the layout yet, so I don't know the exact page count.)

It's sad to see one era come to an end.
I hope precious materials like storyboards and key frames won't be lost or discarded.
I wonder if they hurried to produce The Immortal Bloodline because they wanted to complete it while Telecom still existed.
