"Marco Polo" is a dark website where anything can be purchased, including drugs, guns, and other illegal items. In order to steal the digital currency, Lupin and his friends break into a huge server facility that is heavily guarded. There, they meet a mysterious genius hacker girl, Ami.
Together with Ami, Lupin and his friends fight against Marco Polo's trap. However, they are under the scrutiny of the entire world due to the "Lupin Game" set up by the enemy.
The mystery of Ami is gradually revealed, and a man who knows the past of Lupin III appears. Lupin finds himself in an unprecedented predicament!

Notes[]
- The series in its original Japanese TV broadcast was divided into two cours.[3]
- On the US airings on Toonami, the intro is censored as Fujiko's breasts are pixelated due to TV broadcasting standards. The credits also censored Fujiko's breasts however instead of having them pixelated, patterns were put on top.
- While the Japanese original and the English dub intros are the same outside of the censorship above, the Italian dub features a slight different intro and credits:
- The opening music changes from "Lupin Trois 2018" to "Lupin ladro full-time",
- The intro adds footage from Part 5 Episode 2 (Lupin beating up the gang), Part 5 Episode 4 (Lupin and Zenigata in the car), Part 5 Episode 11 and Part 5 Episode 12 (Lupin busting out of the door with the necklace). The latter two focusing on Lupin the 3rd Part 2 due to its popularity in Italy,
- The order of the characters were also changed from Lupin III, Fujiko, Jigen, Goemon and Zenigata one by one to Lupin, Zenigata then a gap, Jigen and Goemon in time with the music and finally Fujiko.
- The credits also feature Part 5 Episode 2 where Lupin is talking to another woman.
- There is also censorship regarding the zooming to Fujiko part as well however it got cut instead of pixelated.
- Despite Paul St. Peter receiving a credit for Mamo during the English annoucement of the English dub, Mamo did not appear in Part 5. This was a mix up as Kyosuke Mamo appeared in the OVA "Is Lupin Still Burning?" and both dubs were done at the same time.
- The English dub is the only version not to have the end of episode previews. These appear in the Japanese original, Italian dub and the French dub.
