Releases outside of Japan also include the Lupin the Third: Pilot Film.
Japan[]
The first releases were by Emotion until VAP took over in 1993. The Lupin III DVD Collection released were bundled with the magazine and the date on the cover lists a fortnight ahead rather than the actual date.
Emotion Edition (1984-1990)[]
- Betamax/VHS
The Betamax and VHS releases share the same catalog number and cover. The volume number of this first releases corresponds to the original airing date period of the episodes.
- VHS Re-release
The first volume of this re-release is labeled as the volume 2. This is because the volume 1 is the first VHS that include the two episodes of Part 2 where Miyazaki has been involved (episode 145 and 155).[1]
The first re-release (Catalog Number without the "9") was sold at 14'800 Yens by unit. Later, a second re-release (Catalog Number with the "9") was sold at 5'800 Yens by unit. The packaging design between this two editions remains the same. On this version we can read the description of Lupin III by himself that will be used in later releases by Emotion/Bandai:
Let me introduce myself. My name is Lupin the Third, grandson of the famous thief, Lupin the First.
Policeman all over the world are frantically searching for me, but they've never caught me.
Perhaps I shouldn't be so boastful, but I've never failed on a job yet.
I'm like a phantom: I can appear anywhere at anytime and be gone without a trace.
Now you know who I am, Lupin the Third.

VAP Edition (1993-2009)[]
- VHS Releases
VAP released in 1993 their first VHS edition of the Part 1 including four videocassettes with the last one having five episodes.
Six years later, the company released a new VHS edition with a new packaging design (more colorful than the first edition) and the description of Lupin III on the cover that will be used in later releases by VAP:
Lupin the Third is the greatest phantom thief in the world.
He never misses whatever chance he aims at.
Nothing can escape from his clutches... the rarest diamond,
the darkest secret nor the truest heart.
He is light-footed, gracefully snobbish, and always free.
Two able comrades, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa, one girlfriend Fujiko Mine,
one rival Zenigata Inspector are the precious assets for him.
Here's to lupin in his epicurean nights and days!
The four videocassettes of this second edition has also been released in a box compilation under the catalog number: "VPVY-64975". The release date is unknown.

In 2011, PAN Vision under the license of Filmkompaniet Alpha released two DVDs for the Nordic countries along with The Castle of Cagliostro. These are in Japanese with Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish subtitles. The names given on the wiki come from the Swedish release outside of the disc names. These were some of the last DVDs released by the company as the home media department was sold on September 7, 2011 to Scanbox switching to gaming distribution only from 2012 onwards. It is unknown whether more releases were planned.
