Line 6:
While he waits for Lupin to take the bait, Phantoma outlines his plan. He plans to attach the ruby as the focus of a special orbital laser cannon that he will send into space. From there, he can use the laser to melt the polar ice caps, flooding the world and cleansing it of all unworthy people; those that survive will then be enslaved into the new Phantoma Empire he will create from the ruins.
As he speaks, Lupin, Jigen, Goemon fly towards Wester Island, but their plane is disrupted from some kind of electromagnetic field surrounding the place. Lupin is forced to parachute in with the ruby alone...or at least alone until Zenigata comes out of nowhere with a parachute of his own to capture his favorite target. His attempts to capture Lupin fail when Zenigata handcuffs himself to his own parachute; the detective loses control of his parachute and drifts off to another part of the island.
Phantoma's mooks take Lupin to the big man himself. After calling Lupin insignificant, he asks Lupin for the ruby. When the thief challenges him, Phantoma shows Lupin the rocket he has built, the capsule at the top containing Fujiko. He threatens to launch the rocket right then and there if Lupin doesn't give him the ruby. The thief reluctantly agrees, but when one of Phantoma's henchmen reach for the ruby in Lupin's hand, Lupin sprays him with gas, takes out the other mook, and then charges at Phantoma, holding one of the mook's stolen guns to his head. Phantoma merely laughs; the one in the room with Lupin is a robot, and the real Phantoma is safe behind bulletproof glass. His options exhausted, Lupin finally and reluctantly hands over the Punjab Ruby. Rather than free Fujiko, though, Phantoma has Lupin imprisoned in the rocket as well.
Line 24:
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: Phantoma comes ''damn'' close. He actually manages to destory or severely damage several southern hemisphere cities and countries before Lupin finally stops him.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Phantoma not actually putting himself in the same room as Lupin, as well as locking out the rocket controls. The man has clearly done his homework.
* [[Hollywood Global Warming]]: Phantoma's plot to destroy the world.
* [[Island Base]]: Wester Island, which is clearly an allusion to the famous Easter Island, right down to the statues.
* [[It's All About Me]]: Fujiko is horrified by what Phantoma does to the world...because of all the banks and jewelry stores he's destroyed.
