For most of the main series as well as a select number of other Lupin media, another title card will play some time after the opening sequence, showing the title of the episode/movie/TV special being typed out in a typewriter fashion. A variation of it existed in the pilot film, but Part 1 was when typewriter title cards described above were first fully shown for the first time.
When Part 2 debuted, it brought back the typewriter title cards from Part 1. With Yuji Ohno now being the main composer of the series (replacing Takeo Yamashita), he also composed a new jingle for the title cards, called Sub Title. While Part III and The Woman Called Fujiko Mine did not use typewriter title cards, the TV specials that did (beginning with Operation: Return The Treasure) used the version of Sub Title from Part 2.
With the return of Lupin in 2015 with Part 4, Yuji Ohno rearranged the jingle again for the new series, calling the new arrangement Sub Title 2015. This version of Sub Title is still being used onward for most Lupin projects made even long after Part 4 finished airing.
2022's Lupin Zero models its title cards after Part 1's, though as of now the audio it uses hasn't been released yet. It uses punchier sounds that sound more like gunshots for the typing animation and a sharp synth sound for the full title's reveal.
Tracklist[]
Up to this day, the original Sub Title from Part 2 still remains unreleased, and only exists in a low quality form even in more recent entries.
While Parts 4, 5 and 6 and some TV specials and movies like Goodbye Partner and The First use Sub Title 2015 for their title cards, it is not part of their respective soundtracks' albums.
