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

This Week’s Translation

大阪から東京へ向かう新幹線の中で、和葉姉ちゃん、平次兄ちゃん、紅葉姉ちゃんがトランプで七並べしてたんだって。 その前の席には執事の伊織さんも。 でも酔っ払った男に伊織さんは服を汚されちゃったから洗面台へ洗いに行くと、スマホが置いてあって着信が!

電話の相手は伊織さんを知ってるみたいで、命令に従わないと仲間が紅葉姉ちゃんを襲うって言ってきたんだって! 命令の内容は…!?

「執事になった理由(前編)」このあとすぐ!

While they were on a bullet train bound for Tokyo from Osaka, Kazuha, Heiji and Momiji were playing sevens. Momiji’s butler, Iori, was sitting in front of them until a drunk guy spilled a drink on his clothes. But when Iori went to the bathroom to wash it off, he found a lost smartphone with a disturbing call!

The caller seemed to know who Iori was and they gave him an order he couldn’t refuse otherwise Momiji would be in danger! What do they want him to do…?!

“Why I Became Her Butler (Part One)” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

It has been a while but we are back. And it is another canon case. Was not expecting to get back story on Iori of all people. Kinda makes me wonder is there any average Joe in this series. They did mention he was in PubSec last year (Momiji Ooka’s Sweet Trap). Considering some suspicious characters were there when that scene occurred, I guess it will be revealed that he has ties to the Black Organization somehow as well.

I did enjoy seeing the mental gymnastics Iori took to deceive Heiji but he saw right through it. I would have believed the story more if he wasn’t using cloths to avoid fingerprints. Plus, getting the suitcase open without the key is kind of suspicious as well. Sure his friend could have told him where they sitting on the bullet train but surely they wouldn’t leave the key as well.

Speaking of surprises, Momiji doesn’t cease to amaze me. Iori pointed a gun at the girl and she didn’t even flinch. Plus, the bandages (which happen to be today’s Conan hint) are cute. Wouldn’t mind seeing a scene with Iori’s colleagues reacting to the bandages.

The guy with the bandana sort of looks like the drunk that spilled the beer on Iori. Iori noticed the guy’s voice on the phone and it was quite obvious how they were trying to get Iori away from Momiji. I don’t know how they thought this would pan out in their favor. There just putting themselves back in the same situation from 3 years ago. Except it’s worse because Heiji and Kazuha are there and Iori is simply one hell of a butler.

Next Episode is…

Looking forward to seeing the next episode. Supposedly this leads into another canon case so we might get back to back canon cases.

As for the Conan Hint: カルタ – Karuta
