Welcome! MeitanteiBunshou here with some thoughts on today’s Detective Conan.

This Week in Detective Conan

But first, I’d like to talk about One-eyed Flashback. It premiered on Friday in Japan but luckily, they made a novelization of it, so look forward to a review. For those learning Japanese, I find these books to be a good way to get in practice while also enjoying the story. Plus, it has furigana which comes handy when you want to look something up.

To brush up on the Nagano Trio’s cases, they have put out a novel and a manga that showcases these three. I’ll read this first since it has been a while.

This Week’s Translation

毛利探偵事務所に捜査一課から連絡がきて、マンションで服毒死した女の人の部屋に毛利探偵事務所の調査報告書があったんだって! 第一発見者は被害者と会う約束をしてた恋人だったみたい。 おじさんが依頼を受けてたのは郵便での依頼で、その恋人の浮気調査だったんだけど…!? TVオリジナル 「サヨナラの行方」このあとすぐ!

The agency got a call from the First Investigation Division about Kogoro’s report being found at a scene of crime where a woman died from taking poison! The first person to discover the body seems to be her boyfriend who had plans to meet up with her. The case Kogoro took up was to investigate that very same boyfriend for cheating!

Anime Original “The Whereabouts of the Goodbye” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

Feels strange not to have a tie in movie episode for One-eyed Flashback. I guess the one a few episodes back hinted at it but that’s about it.

Kogoro should be used to people trying to use him so I don’t know why he thought it would be a good idea to take this case up in the first place. Usually, the client comes to see him, so it is rare to see Kogoro take a case indirectly. When you take up an offer from someone who doesn’t come see you face to face or even talk on the phone seems a bit suspicious.

It is mind-blowing that Yusuke thought he had to go through all of this just to break things off with Aki. Would have been easier to break up with her instead of making this whole act and doing a “double suicide”. He pulled out all the stops, but the security camera made clear he is the one who made the call. In fact, I wonder if Aki’s place had any security cameras or any witnesses that saw him leave her apartment that night. The guy didn’t even seem to have an alibi.

For anime originals, this one was just okay.

Next Episode is…

As for the Conan Hint: Tea Room – 茶室（ちゃしつ）

Until next time 👋
