Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata to Futari no Lupin Main Trailer TMS Entertainment's official anime YouTube channel is now also streaming a message video from Horiuchi. He says, "This 'Fake Lupin' looks so much like Lupin himself that even he could be mistaken for him. Moreover, he is a ruthless man. He is also the perpetrator of the bombings that have victimized the people without mercy. He is a genius at bombings. I did my best to play the role of 'Fake Lupin.' I think it will be my signature character, if I do say so myself. It was a dream come true during the recording time."
