			The special was released in [[Case Closed\|North America]] on August 30, 2022 in digital stores, with English dub produced by [[Wikipedia:Bang Zoom! Entertainment\|Bang Zoom! Entertainment]]. Between May 25 to May 31, 2026, TMS Entertainment released the special on its [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGf0DdUJVrsbcWL3e_tK1Q Anime! on TMS Official Channel] Youtube channel as limited free release.

	~~== Production details ==~~
	Most of the music used in the special was regular background music from the ''[[Wikipedia: Lupin III\|Lupin III]]'' anime series, and the classic ''Lupin III Theme'' was used for the opening and ending themes. The ''Detective Conan Main Theme'' was also used in various scenes focusing on Conan.

	~~Original character designs varied between the [[Wikipedia: Monkey Punch\|Monkey Punch]] and [[Gosho Aoyama]] styles.~~

	Because ''Detective Conan'' is considered a family show by Japanese audiences, there was very little adult humor in the special, in contrast to most ''Lupin'' specials. Lupin III himself even points this out in a scene where he is trying to sleep with Fujiko and he breaks the fourth wall by "thanking the regular fanbase for being patient all this time". Also, in the last scene, Jigen and Goemon wonder aloud, "Is this an adult movie?"
