Character history[]
After Wolf directed Goemon Ishikawa XIII to the hot springs, Rose got out of the car and threw a rose at Wolf's guitar as she found out that was Goemon. Wolf knows that Goemon is tough as he might have not survived if he drew his rifle at him. He took the rose off his guitar and passed it to Rose knowing that the Lupin gang wouldn't be easy to deal with. She says while putting her rose pin back on that they are Wolf and Rose who never let their targets escape, emphasizing not a single one.
At the hot springs, Goemon was bathing when he saw Rose who was a shadow and ran the other direction scared of seeing a woman. As Wolf tried to strangle Goemon's neck however he fought back and swam away, Rose took the Zantetsuken and his fundoshi. Goemon was worried that the Zantetsuken has been taken and behind his back, Rose threw her rose pin at his neck and took him out. Wolf mentions that the rumors that Goemon has a weakness for women turned out to be true, she thought that it would also work for Lupin however he knows that it wouldn't work the same way. Off screen, they took Goemon to the dungeon of an old castle to be tortured.
Wolf drove up to Lupin III's hideout that was located at a castle surrounded by water and while Rose wondered why he didn't march in as it is two against two, he expected someone else to turn up. Lupin and Daisuke Jigen escaped by speedboat and Wolf aimed for Lupin however the bullet deflected his head and turned around to make a scary face. Rose came and wonder how it happened, Wolf knows that it was a Japanese puppet that Lupin used to trick them.
Goemon was tied up, sliced up and handcuffed to a ball as Rose whipped him. She asked him to talk however Goemon just shook his head with a smile. She was annoyed and thought that Goemon wanted to die, she then pulled the ball causing him to scream thinking about his thumbs to fall off. Wolf got up and explains to Goemon that every assassin that tried to kill Lupin had failed and if they killed him, they would be famous. Rose also added that everyone will know they names. Goemon refuses so Rose put headphones on him and Wolf played with his guitar causing Goemon to scream and be in pain.
Wolf lowered his eyebrows as his plan did not work and sat back down as Goemon fainted. Rose removed the headphones and slapped his face. After the chain fell down, Rose put a head stock on Goemon and got out a drill as she wanted to play as a dentist. She turned it on and told Goemon to say "ahh" however he tells her that he has a cavity on one of his back teeth. Being annoyed, she decided to drill off screen into Goemon's mouth as blood came out however Goemon fainted again. As Wolf was looking outside on the balcony, Rose came out and asked what to do next but still looking at the scenery, he tells her that Lupin has called them out. She tells him that she can sort Lupin out but Wolf says to her that he is a womanizer and she dropped the drill.
She disguised herself as Fujiko and drove in a red car towards the hideout that had "Lupun the 3rd" written outside on a neon sign. While Jigen wasn't interested, Lupin dashed out towards the hall and greeted Fujiko calling her Fujiko-chan (Fujicakes or Fujiko dear depending on translation). She says that it has been a while as Lupin ran down the stairs and tripping up as he was in love with her, she says that she missed him and making perverted faces Lupin agrees while complimenting at her looks with his hand on her shoulder. "Fujiko" touched his chin and pulled his face as she wants to see her "only Lupin" making Lupin really happy with love hearts in his eyes. Lupin carried her to the bedroom while he struggled due to her weight.
They toasted their drinks as Lupin wanted to celebrate their night together and "Fujiko" thanked him however she noticed that the room was not romantic enough. Lupin went into his pocket and got a remote closing the curtains, the record player popping up from the wall, the chandelier coming down with its glow and from the wall a bed. She was happy and Lupin puts his hands on her shoulders as he was ready for her ready to kiss her, "Fujiko" put her hand over his mouth telling him not to be in a hurry. It is unknown what happened since it was played over a radio that Wolf and Goemon heard however it is assumed that Lupin was making love to her.
Lupin put her on bed ready to make love however "Fujiko" got the rose pin out of her hair wanting to put it on his neck as he thought that she was roleplaying. She threw the rose pin however Lupin ducked and landed on the pillow. Lupin held her as he wanted to go all the way, she agreed as she had a knife attached to her leg and was going to stab him as she thrust her legs to him however Lupin avoided the attack and she landed on the bed stand. Lupin jumped up to the chandelier thinking that the bed was bouncy and jumped back down, he had figured that she wasn't Fujiko as she wasn't elegant enough and pulled her face mask. Rose was annoyed and ran off with her Fujiko wig dropping down, Lupin threw her rose pin back into her hair. Jigen wanted to assassinate her as he aimed the sniper rifle when she got into the car however Lupin told him not to as she will lead them to Goemon as she drove off.
Rose came back knowing that she was so close and he knew that she screwed up due to Lupin not falling for their tricks, she vowed to get him next time. Wolf then grabbed her rose in her hair and threw it to the floor as Lupin planted a tracker. As Rose walked up the steps, Goemon commented that Wolf's weakness was her however it made him annoyed and demanded to tell him Lupin's weakness as his last chance.
After Goemon had killed Wolf with his Zantetsuken, Jigen found her and pointed a gun to her back. She walked down the steps being scared, sweating and shaking going towards her dead partner. Rose sat down and cried that he is gone, she got her rose pin from her hair and stabbed it right into her heart falling on top of him. She committed suicide as she was heartbroken.
