Discotek Media has announced on their Facebook page today that Bye Bye Liberty Crisis, the 1989 feature-length Lupin TV Special, will be made available on DVD in North America in 2014. Liberty was the first entry in the long-running TV Special series and marked the return of the Part II TV series voice cast after their notable absence in 1987's Plot of the Fuma Clan.

The first questions on everyone's mind are whether or not it will include the Manga UK English dub from the mid-1990s, and what other extras will be included. As for the dub, Discotek is still waiting on clearance for its inclusion, so it's a "maybe" at this point. We'll keep you posted. As for extras, they will probably be limited to anything TMS provides and maybe an original extra or two.

Discotek most recently released Lupin the Third: Green vs. Red, the 2008 Lupin OVA, in May of this year.
