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

This Week’s Translation

チェス大会の会場で、黒田管理官はボクに未解決事件の暗号を解いて欲しいって言うんだ。
17年前の事件の時、殺害現場で黒田管理官はアマンダさんのボディガード・浅香って人を見つけたんだけど…!?

それでボクが現場にあった暗号を解いてたら、黒田管理官がその浅香って人そっくりだっていう若狭先生が先に帰っちゃったみたい。
しかも自分の傘を置いてったみたいで…!?

「17年前の真相 女王の謀(クイーンズ・ギャンビット)」このあとすぐ!

Commissioner Kuroda wanted me to solve a cold case at the chess tournament’s venue.

During the case from 17 years ago, Kuroda was at the crime scene when he found Amanda’s bodyguard who was… Wakasa?!

After I figured out the mystery from the photo, Ms. Wakasa -who Commissioner Kuroda says has an uncanny resemblance to the bodyguard – seemed to have gone home.

And she left her umbrella behind!

“The 17-Year-Old Truth: The Queen’s Gambit” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

Good to see how all this occurred. And 10 years in a coma?! I guess that’s the reason why the memories are still so fresh in his mind. Kuroda seems like a sharp guy, so I find it strange for him to rely on Conan to figure this out. Or perhaps it was a test of Conan’s ability.

And holy cheeseballs! Wakasa is as scary as ever. Truly a cruel tactician. If Rum didn’t catch on Koboyashi would have been dead. She even robbed a gun store (wait… they have gun stores in Japan?! Oh, wait probably for hunting purposes or something. Thought it was like a hard ban on all guns, but I guess not.)

Love how Shuuichi ain’t even trying to hide his identity while chilling at the window in Shinichi’s house.

On another note, I’m surprised that Rum hasn’t used APTX 4869 already. I mean it seems like it would be easy to get a hold of due to them losing Shiho but surely, they have other ways of getting it, right?

Wonder how young he’ll become. More terrified that he’ll end up having that power back in both of his eyes if he gets a hold of it.

Next Episode is…?

No preview for the next episode. Most likely will be some remastered case in Japan. Nothing but canon cases through June. Hopefully July has something in store for us.

Until next time 👋
