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

This Week in Detective Conan

But first, Happy Birthday to Conan/Shinichi!

Still find it a bit funny that he chose his actual birthday. Just another coincidence to stack up with the rest and make Ran doubt him even more.

This Week’s Translation

毛利探偵事務所に目暮警部がこっそりやってきて、部下の男の人が不倫をしているかも知れないから、小五郎のおじさんに調べて欲しいって言うんだ。 そして動かぬ証拠を押さえて欲しいんだって。 さっそく調べてみたら、確かに女の人と会ってるみたいで…!?

Inspector Megure was lurking around the detective agency’s office. He had suspicions that his subordinate was having an affair. Without any proof of the infidelity, he wanted Kogoro to get solid evidence. As soon as we began investigating, it seems he was meeting with a woman.

Sequel to the Detective Conan Movie: One-Eyed Flashback!
Anime original “The Secret Afterimage” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

When I saw the preview for this episode last week, I was afraid that it was going to be Megure having a misunderstanding about Takagi cheating on Sato (^-^;

Turns out it is an epilogue of sorts from the new movie. This might be the first time they have actually done something like this. Still reading the novel, so Wani being killed off was a spoiler (´；ω；`)ｳｯ… Now I’m even more curious about what happens in this film.

As expected, it was a misunderstanding, and it was with good intentions. Thought the woman would be his sister or something. But that was cool of Sawatari to tie up loose ends for his coworker. It is sad to see Kogoro like that though.

Speaking of Kogoro, I hope he is getting his time to shine in the movie. I like his bumbling detective side but would love to see him handle some cases on his own. This episode alone was showing that he hasn’t had any work in a while. Heck, even Ran was helping him out by telling Megure about their price packages.

It was a good anime original episode. Murder mysteries are Detective Conan’s bread and butter but seeing cases like this every now and then is a breath of fresh air.

Next Episode is…

Ayumi is getting another one?!
I guess Mitsuhiko’s Detective Notes will be getting on soon as well.
Wonder if Genta will ever get one? Like Genta’s Cookbook or Food Review.

As for the Conan Hint: Film Director – 映画監督

Until next time 👋
