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

This Week’s Translation

元太と光彦、歩美ちゃんは、知り合った女の人から「お手伝い先でオバケを見た」という話を聞いて、そのお手伝い先の家主さんのお家に行ったんだって。 すると外のビルの屋上に突然、白い影と人魂が! でも家主さんはいたずら電話が気になるみたいで… 次の日、ボクと灰原もそのビルへ! 果たしてオバケ事件の真相は?

TVオリジナル「オバケがでた！」このあとすぐ!

Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi went to someone’s house after hearing about a ghost appearance from a woman helping around the home. When they got to the roof, they saw a white silhouette with will-o-wisps floating around! On top of that, the home owner seemed to be concerned about prank calls… and so Haibara and I went to investigate as well! What is the truth behind the phantom?

Anime original “It’s a Ghost!” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

Another low stake case for the Detective Boys to handle. Genta’s taste buds came in clutch this time. If food is involved, leave it to Genta to get the job done. I am a bit surprised he say anything about eel. The food must be that good to make him forget bringing up his favorite food. I wish that Ayumi asked about the cutlery earlier but considering the Motoko made a statement about not having any children Ayumi might have thought that the kid died in the past.

Kudos for Motoko busting a scam that preys on the old people. The オレオレ詐欺 (Hey it’s me) scam will probably get worse in Japan and other countries with a lot of elderly. Reminded me of the bold old lady from The Dreamy-Eyed Woman’s Last Shot at Love episode. On a side note, if you are interested in a scam artist taking down other scammers, then I recommend checking out a television series called Kurosagi.

For Tomoharu to take the newspaper statement literally is a bit silly though. This could have been cleared up if he just talked to his mom on the phone. 20 years sounds absurd but I guess it happens.

On another note, Motoko’s hairstyle kind of reminded me of Granny Seiko’s from Dandadan. I wonder if this is what Seiko would look like in the Detective Conan universe.

And speaking of character designs, this episode was on point with the characters. Sometimes Conan’s head just looks a little to jagged but it’s pretty good here.

Next Episode is…

Looks like we got another case related to Urashima Taro. Haven’t read it since elementary school and it’s one of the reasons why I got interested in Japanese culture. Also, whoever thought that parfait was a good idea has committed a crime.

As for the Conan Hint: Boathouse – 舟屋

Until next time 👋
