Yu Kiyozono also returned to produce the film, Lupin the IIIrd: Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone (LUPIN THE IIIRD 次元大介の墓標, Jigen Daisuke no Bohyō), that focuses on the character Jigen and tells how he and Lupin became partners.[1] Koike's fellow-Redline creators Katsuhito Ishii and James Shimoji served as adviser and music composer respectively.
