Lupin Collection

The Lupin Collection (ルパンコレクション, Rupan Korekushon) is a collection of mysterious treasures collected in secret by the phantom thief Arsene Lupin. These treasures are said to contain a strange power, which will bring calamity if landed in the hands of evildoers.

These treasures were stolen by the Interdimensional Crime Group Gangler, a crime syndicate from another dimension, and used by them to empower their members by being kept inside a safe somewhere in their bodies and can also be used by the Gangler doctor Goche Ru Medou to revive the Gangler members into giant size.
