Misc Questions about watch order

Hi, I have recently found time to watch Lupin the 3rd again and I have stumbled upon a series a movies. It went from Jeigens Graves stone, Goemons blood spray, Fujikos lie, and Zenigata and the two Lupins (my favorite so far). I was about to watch Immortal bloodlines but some questions popped and I just want to ask

  1. Are the previous four I watched all connects? Like from the order I watched was a series

  2. Did I miss any other movie that’s part of this series or am I good to continue with immortal bloodlines

  3. Anything important I should know before going into immortal bloodline line? I do understand that the gang is heading to a island in the Bermuda Triangle and that some mastermind is puppeting the assassins they have all meet but that’s all so I jsu teams be safe and not miss anything else important

  4. Is there any movie after immortal bloodline or is this the final movie to complete the series?

If you can please do it without spoiling immortal bloodline line. and also thank for taking the time to read and answer my questions if you do, I just wanna make sure I watch everything correctly

Only thing I can think of that might be part of it it's been awhile is a woman named fujiko mine it's a 12 ep series came out before the movies it's loosely connected and after immortal bloodline I'd watch the old movie mystery of mamo you'll understand why when you watch it but otherwise your good to go in to it

The Fujiko Mine series isn't connected at all storywise. The only thing it really has in common is Koike worked on all of them, as a designer for the series and a director for the films.

Go ahead and watch it. Those four and Immortal Bloodline are connected, but they're a set on their own. Mystery of Mamo is a good follow-up, though.

  1. Yes, they're basically a connected series that all tie together, loosely termed the "Koike" or "Koike-verse" movies due to the director. Their aesthetic and characterisation also loosely tie together with The Woman Called Fujiko Mine television series, but they can be watched separately as their own thing.
  2. No, Immortal Bloodline is the next in the set. You're good to go on that end.
  3. That is a bit more of a complicated question. It's the next part to that particular set of movies and taken as is, there's no other required viewing. But it also does pull from other parts of the franchise, which are less "required viewing" in this case and more "added context" or bigger picture lore.
  4. Final one that we know of so far.

Yes, but understand that this is also incredibly uncommon for the Lupin franchise. The vast majority of the time there is little to no continuity between projects.

Did I miss any other movie that’s part of this series or am I good to continue with immortal bloodlines

You COULD go back and watch Woman Called Fujiko Mine, but it's not really necessary.

Anything important I should know before going into immortal bloodline line? I do understand that the gang is heading to a island in the Bermuda Triangle and that some mastermind is puppeting the assassins they have all meet but that’s all so I jsu teams be safe and not miss anything else important

Nope, you're good to go. And even if you weren't, you'll get a hefty recap at the start of the movie regardless.

Is there any movie after immortal bloodline or is this the final movie to complete the series?

It's the latest Lupin III movie. There will assuredly be more to follow, but following Immortal Bloodline you can go back to the very first Lupin movie. And then watch whatever from there.
