The Columbus Files, released in Japan in 1999 as Ai no da capo ~Fujiko's Unlucky Days~, is the eleventh entry in the annual Lupin III Made for TV Movie series. FUNimation released it with an English language dub in 2005 as the ninth of the ten Lupin films/TV movies they acquired for distribution, and it was also included in the 2006 "Final Haul" boxset. The director of Columbus Files is none other than Shinichi Watanabe, a.k.a Nabeshin of Excel Saga fame, a director noted not only for being a Lupin III fan, but often dressing in a similar fashion. Carrying forward his tradition of placing Author Avatars into his works is the henchmen Nazarov, who bears his trademark afro and brightly colored Lupin-esque jackets. The special also bears many signs of Nabeshin's much more light-hearted touch; in spite of how seriously Fujiko's condition is treated, this is definitely one of the more comedic and slapstick entries in the entire Lupin canon. Fujiko is unveiling her latest scheme to Lupin over a romantic dinner: she has found and memorized the "Columbus Files", a set of documents that reveal the location of a mysterious lost treasure, the Columbus Egg. Before she can tell him more, their evening is interrupted by the rascally Nazarov, sent to retrieve the information Fujiko has. As she and Lupin flee, however, they end up falling over a cliff. Lupin loses his grip, and Fujiko slips away... Later, treasure hunter Rosaria returns to her home to find a frightened young woman hiding there; it turns out to be Fujiko, stricken with amnesia from her fall and traumatized by flashes of the attack. Even when Fujiko eventually reunites with Lupin and the gang, she can remember nothing. To make things worse, Nazarov and his boss wants the information from the Columbus Files locked away in Fujiko's missing memory. It's up to her friends and Rosaria, also tied into the mysterious documents somehow, to keep Fujiko out of the hands of the enemy, restore her to her normal self, and find out what the secret of the Columbus Egg really is.
