In addition, the role corresponding to the original, Goemon Ishikawa does not appear in this film until the 2014 film. Meguro, who played the role of Lupin, had an interview on a TV program, he said "As a result of discussions with the director, it was decided that it would be impossible to make it exactly as the original, so I decided to make it as I like without being aware of the original. "I personally like the role & I would love to play it if I want to visualize it again."
