This week I read 6 chapters of Arsene Lupin versus Sherlock Holmes.
Baker Street Wiki -
"The Blonde Lady" (or Blonde Phantom in some versions), that has Holmes again called back to the continent to help French authorities reclaim the priceless 'Blue Diamond', which Lupin has stolen thanks to a blonde female accomplice. What proceeds next is an ongoing battle of one-upmanship between the two evenly-matched opponents that ends with Holmes getting the upper hand, delivering the Gentleman Burglar into the hands of the police. Yet despite this, Lupin manages to escape in time to wave Holmes off and bid him farewell at a train station.
Notes:
Joker as Lupin, Panther as the blonde accomplice, Crow as Holmes.
Lupin has a stake in the newspaper the Echo de France, much like Joker has a relationship with reporter Ohya Ichiko who uses him as an unknown source to write articles about the Phantom Thieves, boosting their popularity.
Holmes sees others who seem to be following Lupin, then realizes that they are part of his band: "his bodyguards, his satellites, his vigilant escort". They were his accomplices.
Holmes uses a letter of introduction to gain access to the architect's home as a secretary under a fake name, much like we gained letters of introduction to open the door in Shido's palace.
