Lupin the 3rd vs Detective Conan (ルパン三世VS名探偵コナン, Rupan Sansei vs Meitantei Conan?) is a crossover work of Lupin III and Detective Conan (aka Case Closed). It was broadcast on March 27, 2009.
Plot
During a hunt in her private hunting ground, Queen Sakura, sovereign of the European kingdom of Vespania, is suddenly killed. All indications suggest that she was accidentally shot by her son, Prince Gill, who immediately after the event commits suicide, overcome by guilt.
Therefore, the title of heir to the throne of Vespania passes by Gill to his sister, Princess Mira, a tough girl and a bit selfish, who coincidentally resembles Ran Mouri. The coronation ceremony, however, is threatened by a growing popular movement that believes Princess Mira is unfit to govern; therefore, taking into account the risk to Princess Mira's safety, Duke Keith, the chief of Commons, makes Daisuke Jigen, former trainer of the regular army, a personal guard of the princess.
Simultaneously, Lupin reaches Vespania; his and Jigen's plan is to get their hands on the crown for the Queens of the Realm, revealing several nice memories for the King of Thieves, but it seems clear now that Lupin is pursuing another purpose.
Furthermore, to increase the princess' popularity, it organized a trip to the state in Japan, and the festival is held at the Grand Hotel West City Tama. Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa attend and, at the party, Conan exposes an attempt to poison the princess. In the confusion that follows, since the princess wants nothing more than to escape from her condition, she manages to escape, but is noticed by Conan, who follows her trail.
In her escape, she meets Ran Mouri, returning from evening classes, and noting their resemblance the princess decides to trade places with her, so she can gain the thrill of freedom, although her initial thought is to lose all its tracks against Ran. Ran, dressed as the princess, goes back to the hotel and explains what happened, and Duke Keith, to avoid leaks that would result in a diplomatic incident with Japan, "forces" Ran to continue to play the role of Mira.
The princess has now been collected by Fujiko, saying that she knows her identity and offers to take her around Japan with her as Mira's bodyguard. Conan tracks the princess and chases the pair aboard his skateboard, but Fujiko loses him and disappears. Meanwhile, the second objective is the light that led to Lupin Vespania: hidden beneath the kingdom is a mineral that thanks to its "complete stealth powers" may be totally invisible to radar. Using the dowsing rods Lupin has located the mineral.
Mr. Keith breaks his promise to return Ran after the press conference at the airport and brings her to Vespania. and to allow her daughter to follow Inspector Megure assigns Kogoro as personal assistant to ICP his friend, Inspector Zenigata, who is going to turn to Vespania to chase Lupin, which allows him to follow his daughter into Vespania. Conan, who had noticed that Mr. Keith was doing, manages to board the plane while clutching the basket, and is saved from hypothermia by Mr. Keith, who claims to be doing everything only for the Princess.
The princess Mira has since been reported to be back in Vespania through Fujiko who is spending time with her. Lupin learns how the princess's character transformed into a cynical and selfish one due derivatale anguish, her status as princess and grief due to the death of her mother and brother. It turns out that Fujiko was hired by Mr. Keith himself precisely to remove a little princess from court life to make her feel, at least for a while, the typical teenage experience. After meeting with Ran and Kogoro, Conan begins to investigate the murder of the Queen, with the forced and involuntary help of Jigen. Lupin meanwhile, helped by Goemon, has entered the vault of the building, but finds out that crown has been stolen by Fujiko. However, he is forced to give up and flee the building as it has become completely surrounded by police after the alarm sounds.
Mira, after visiting the place where her brother and mother died,decided to assume her duties as the future queen, and agrees to return to the palace. She is just in time for Conan to start hie reasoning show, revealing to all, including her the truth about this alleged incident. Conan tries to put Kogoro to sleep with his usual tranquilizer needle, but fails to hit Kogoro (which is actually disguised Lupin), and hits Zenigata instead. Zenigata quickly wakes up after a few seconds (Conan calls him a monster for doing so). Lupin, reveals his secret identity to Conan, helps resolve the case by pretending to be the true Sleeping Kogoro, and together they reveal the truth: the murderer of the queen is the work of the Prime Minister of Vespania. Immediately after, the Prime Minister had also killed the prince making the case seem to be a murder-suicide, so he could make his ascent to the throne easier and be get rich by selling the ore the Queen had forbidden to sell and use due to her pacifist nature and the potential of the ore to be used in war.
Thanks to Conan and Lupin, the culprit was caught, and Princess Mira becomes the new queen of Vespania. Ran and Kogoro are welcomed as saviors of the kingdom, and Zenigata yearns for yet another fight with Lupin. The final scene shows Conan be taken in a car by the Japanese. The people in the car are actually Lupin and his gang, who have decided to help Conan return to Japan due to Conan lacking a passport (since Conan Edogawa was an alias he made up and he illegally entered the country). Lupin explains that he returned to honor a promise he made to Queen Sakura. He proves to know the true identity of the young detective, calling Conan Shinichi Kudou, while Conan promises them that if one day they cross paths again, he will definitely arrest them all.
