- A few changes were made for the US television and DVD releases. First, the episode "Hitler's Legacy" was removed from its space as episode three, to be reintroduced at a later date. (This was done to forestall potential protests about the episode, which used the Nazis as low comedy, including title character Lupin dressing up as Hitler.) Further, TMS gave Pioneer edited masters that had unspecified cuts and edits made to excise real-world corporate and product logos and copyrighted music snippets to prevent lawsuits. Pioneer has said that "Hitler's Legacy" will appear on a later DVD in the series' release: No word on whether the episode will appear on television.
- Due to copyright issues in the early '90s with the estate of Maurice LeBlanc (author of the original "Arsene Lupin" stories), when the Miyazaki, Hayao-directed episodes were first released on videocasette by Streamline Pictures, the studio was forced to rename Lupin "Wolf" (a English rendition of his French name).
