Okouchi is still credited for series composition, so the others will presumably contribute specific episodes along the way but the overarching structure between their respective tales will still be overseen by him in the future.

Cool! This seems to back up my assumption that we’ll be getting multiple standalone non-canon episodes, each taking inspiration from a different era of Lupin’s past. Part 5 has easily been one of the best entries in the series so far and this only makes me more excited to see what they have in store in the future!

I kind of wanted Okouchi to write the whole series because he did such a great job with the first five episodes, but this is a very interesting lineup of writers.

I imagine these are just for standalone one-off episodes similar to the most recent episode (which was written by one of the individuals listed). The actual serialized storyline will probably still be mainly handled by Okouchi, starting again with the next episode.

More screenwriters can only help if the pathetic current episode is any indication.
