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

This Week’s Translation

大阪から来た平次兄ちゃん、和葉姉ちゃんと一緒に、ボクと蘭姉ちゃん、小五郎のおじさんで鷲尾山を登ってたら、途中で雨が降ってきたんだ!

近くのお寺で雨宿りさせてもらってる間に、お坊さんに紅蓮髑髏っていう魔物の言い伝えを聞いたんだ。

そしたら本当に人魂が出て、その先で行方をくらましてたお坊さんの遺体が…!
そしたら小五郎のおじさんもいなくなってて…
まさか紅蓮髑髏にさらわれちゃった!?

「鷲雄山の紅蓮髑髏(後編)」このあとすぐ!

While Heiji, Kazuha, Ran, Kogoro and I were heading up Mt. Washio, it started to rain.

We ended up staying at a temple that was close by, where we heard the tale of the Crimson Skeleton from one of the monks.

Afterwards, the ghostly flames from the tale led us to a corpse of the monk that disappeared!
Then Kogoro vanished… Was he spirited away by the Crimson Skeleton?!

“The Crimson Skeleton of Mt. Washio (Part Two)” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

かんてつ（?）昇楽寺僧侶
Kantetsu (?) Shogakuji Temple Monk

容疑者　ー　Suspects

哲進　和尚　（70）昇楽寺住職
Priest Tetsushin (70) Shogakuji Temple Head Priest

賢哲　（28）昇楽寺僧侶
Kentetsu (28) Shogakuji Temple Monk

頓哲　（31）昇楽寺僧侶
Tontetsu (31) Shogakuji Temple Monk

It’s moments like this where you see how Ran feels about her dad. It was sad seeing Ran not knowing what to do. I did wish that Conan reassured her that Kogoro was fine and that they would find him for sure. Then again, solving the case and having Heiji have his time in the sun took priority this time. Besides when these two are stuck on a case, it’s hard for them to focus on anything else. In the end, solving the case faster will get Kogoro back, so I it’s fine.

The trick was cool, so I tried it out of curiosity. The trick seems to work on the concept of paper lanterns where it rises into the sky. Used sticky notes at first but it didn’t work. Thought I needed to have a bigger size of paper for it to actually work, but that didn’t work out either 😓.

Halloween is just around the corner, so this would have been nice trick for Halloween. Did find some people using newspaper and a different shape.

On another note, Kogoro judo throwing the culprit was fantastic. Had to get him back for the cheap stun gun maneuver in the last episode. And to top off the episode we have these two…

Alas, the Heiji x Kazuha train has no signs of leaving the station. Ran tried her best to put this together but reminding Heiji to confess to Kazuha would have made the chances of it actually happening go up. Ah, well matchmaker Ran isn’t giving up so there’s hope for these two… right?

Next Episode is…?

We have a remaster of the Houseboat Fishing Shock Case next week.

Until next time 👋
