The Great Lupin Movie/Special/OVA Tournament!

About this episode

The episode features a tournament where 46 Lupin III movies, TV specials, and OVAs compete against each other.

On April 26th, 2025, we hosted an epic battle on our Discord server. 46 movies, TV specials, and OVAs were pitted against each other with randomly generated battle brackets. Only one would emerge as the victor in THE GREAT LUPIN MOVIE/SPECIAL/OVA TOURNAMENT! We had an incredibly fun time hosting this stream with many of our listeners in attendance. Whether you're listening for the first time or reliving the historic competition, we hope you have just as much fun listening to it. Choices were made. Crash-outs were had. Comraderies were tested. Let the battle begin (again).
