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

This Week’s Translation

歩美ちゃんが絵日記の題材に困ってたら、偶然TVに犯罪ドキュメンタリー番組が放送されてたんだって。 それでドキュメンタリー映画を作れば、自由研究と絵日記の一石二鳥だって言うんだ。

取材対象はもちろん名探偵の小五郎のおじさん! 内容はもう解決した器物損壊事件だから危険じゃないと思ってたんだけど、撮影で事件について振り返っていくと、なんだか違和感が…!?

TVオリジナル 「歩美の絵日記事件簿 5」このあとすぐ!

Ayumi was having trouble coming up with a topic for her illustrated diary. She happened to catch a crime documentary which gave her an idea – if she made one, she could get the picture diary and the independent study project done at the same time.

And Kogoro was just the person to go to for an interview! We talked about a solved vandalism case, so it didn’t seem like we’d be doing anything dangerous, but looking back at the footage and this case – what’s this bad feeling I’m getting?

Anime Original “Ayumi’s Illustrated Diary 5” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

I thought my hopes for Kogoro were being answered from the previous episode but, I knew that this was about Ayumi making another picture diary. Seeing “Kogoro’s Case Files” made me think it could be its own thing. Nonetheless, Ayumi is back again with her writer’s block and this time she’s getting a bit more ambitious – by making a documentary!

The true culprit’s methods were strange. She rents an apartment to hypnotize her neighbor so he would break into a jewelry store. But he goes around smashing things with a bat and spray-painting cameras. The hypnosis seemed to only make the guy paranoid, so I don’t why she thought this was a good idea.

I get that she wanted to avoid being in the cameras leading to the jewelry store, but did she ever think that there were most likely cameras inside the very place she was robbing. On top of that, she didn’t think that he might just move out due to the annoyance or make a complaint. Or better yet just unplug the planetarium. This IoT trick could be an interesting thing to use in another case though.

On another note, I did like the Detective Boys wearing other character’s clothes. Makes me wonder where Genta, Mitsuhiko and Sato will be when they are in their 20s. Wouldn’t mind seeing them running a detective agency with Shinichi and Shiho.

Next Episode is…

As for the Conan Hint: Gold Coin- 金貨
