Lupin the 3rd, Part 2 season 3 episode 21, titled "You're Sapphired!", follows the adventures of the world-renowned thief, Arsène Lupin III, and his allies, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa XIII, as they attempt to steal a valuable sapphire necklace from a wealthy countess. However, they soon realize that they are not the only ones after the necklace, and they must outwit their competitors, a trio of crafty thieves known as the Three Luminous Stars.
The episode opens with Lupin and his team making their way to the countess's lavish estate aboard their trusty airship, the S.S. ZIII. Their plan is to infiltrate the countess's party, locate the necklace, and make off with it while no one is looking. However, their mission is complicated when they discover that the Three Luminous Stars have also arrived at the party with the intention of stealing the necklace.
The Three Luminous Stars are comprised of three nimble and agile thieves, each with their own unique skillset. There is the alluring Chiquita, who uses her feminine charm to distract guards and secure access to restricted areas. Then there is the acrobatic Mohican, who can climb walls and navigate tight spaces with ease. And finally, there is the tech-savvy Rusty Nail, who can hack into security systems and disable alarms.
As Lupin and his team scope out the party, they notice that the countess is wearing the necklace they have come to steal. Lupin devises a plan to swap the real necklace for a fake one he has brought along, but he soon realizes that the Three Luminous Stars have the same idea. Meanwhile, Inspector Zenigata, Lupin's longtime nemesis, has also arrived at the party, hoping to finally catch Lupin in the act.
With the Three Luminous Stars hot on their trail, Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon must race against time to steal the necklace before their rivals do. As they navigate the maze-like estate and avoid the watchful eye of the countess's security team, they realize that the necklace might not be the only thing at stake. With Inspector Zenigata closing in and the Three Luminous Stars gaining ground, Lupin must use all of his wit and cunning to come out on top.
With its trademark blend of action, humor, and intrigue, "You're Sapphired!" is a classic Lupin the 3rd episode that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
