The fourth and final season, which contains 52 episodes, aired between October 8, 1979 and October 6, 1980 on the Japanese television network NTV (Nippon Television). In 1994, episodes 145 and 155 (which were directed by Hayao Miyazaki under a pseudonym) appeared on VHS in the United States, dubbed in English, under the title Lupin III's Greatest Capers. These episodes marked Miyazaki's final involvement with the franchise. During the run of the fourth season, the second Lupin III animated film, The Castle of Cagliostro, premiered in Japanese theaters. This movie was also directed by Miyazaki and marked his directorial debut in feature films. The anime is based on the Lupin III manga written by Monkey Punch beginning in 1967.
The fourth season can be distinguished from the other three by the different opening and ending themes. The opening theme for season four of Lupin III Part II is "Theme from Lupin III '80" by Yuji Ohno, while the ending theme is "Love Is Everything" by Noboru Kimura.
