If he was a 10 year old kid in 1960 then Lupin would be 72 years old now. So we can probably assume that this show is not in the same canon as the current Lupin TV series and specials, which all are set in the present day and feature a Lupin who seems like he's around 30 years old or so.

Young Lupin!? Huh.
I wonder if they'll throw in young versions of the other characters. The girl with the necklace could be Young Fujiko? |

Eh, Lupin has never had a continious timeline. Castle of Cagliostro and The First (just to name some) are both set in the 60s, with Goemon present, when he only met Goemon in the 70s in the first part. All of it is the same canon, just on a basically non-existent timeline. |

Another Lupin project that isn’t a fourth Koike movie! Damn it. But I guess I’ll give it a shot.

The music in the trailer sounds like a track from the Part 1 anime. Nice one.
I'll give anything Lupin a go. |

They just adapt to the current era at the time of new content. |

It's like trying to nail down how old James Bond actually is, though arguably, different folk can hold the title of 007.
It's just one of those things where the characters manage to live on in every new era, though one of the recent Lupin's made it a point about whether this old school thief could survive in the new technological online generation... |

Except for parts 4,5 and 6 which make it pretty clear that it's exactly that. |

Like the floating timelines in shows like The Simpsons, Scooby-Doo and many comic book characters. Although Lupin is supposed to be the grandson of Arsene Lupin, a character from the early 20th Century, it would make more sense these days if he was Lupin IV or V (Like the cancelled Lupin VIII). Also, that reminds of the character Riko Mine Lupin IV from Aria the Scarlet Ammo, is she Lupin and Fujiko's daughter?

Canon is pointless in these kind of series, anyway. |

Except even those parts occasionally referenced characters and events from the classic series/movies that were clearly meant to be set decades in the past, and yet nobody batted an eye. Like many other long-lived fictional characters, Lupin and his gang are timeless, able to exist throughout the decades without being tied down to one particular era or chronology. Hell, that was the metanarrative at the heart of Part 5, the question of whether these beloved old characters could truly exist in a modern world full of social media and instant digital surveillance, and it answered with an emphatic yes in one of the most brilliant pieces of storytelling I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Lupin is as old as he needs to be. |

Did The Black Organization drug Lupin? Now he has the body of a child, but can still commit crimes! With a keen eye for Fujiko's trail, one deceit will prevail.

It's just soft continuity, folks. It ain't complicated (the opposite, actually).

Very odd to see him with spiky hair.
But, still looking forward to this.
