Overview
As Lupin's mentor Don Dolune lies on his deathbed, he hands the master thief a gift, the diamond named Twilight. Though it's only half the treasure — the other half of the Twilight can be found in Morocco. Lupin must contend with his on-again-off-again-partner Fujiko, his feelings for the mysterious Lara, and the relentless whip-wielding maniac Sadachiyo in order to bring Twilight back to its full glory.

Center
Primary
The film primarily focuses on an adventure and heist narrative involving a treasure hunt and thwarting individual villains, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or engaging with mainstream political issues, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie features a diverse cast in terms of gender within its established anime universe, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of roles traditionally considered white. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, with DEI themes not being central to its plot or character development.
Secondary
The film features Sadachiyo, a flamboyant and effeminate character coded as LGBTQ+, who serves as a henchman. His portrayal relies on exaggerated mannerisms for comedic effect and to underscore his subordinate role, reinforcing harmful stereotypes without offering depth, dignity, or counterbalancing positive elements. The net impact is negative due to this problematic depiction.
The film features Sadie, a highly agile character who uses a whip as her primary weapon. She is shown to skillfully defeat multiple male opponents in close-quarters combat, disarming and incapacitating them without the use of firearms.
The film 'Lupin the Third: The Secret of Twilight Gemini' does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. While a character engages in cross-dressing, this is presented as a disguise or personal quirk rather than an expression of a transsexual identity.
The film features the established characters of the Lupin the 3rd franchise, including Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, Fujiko, and Zenigata, all portrayed with their canonical genders. No pre-existing characters from source material or previous installments are depicted with a different gender.
The film introduces new characters of various races, but no established character from the Lupin the 3rd franchise, whose race was previously defined, has been portrayed as a different race.
