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

This Week in Detective Conan

The Episode Zero special has announced when it will be releasing: January 3, 2026! It will be covering the aquarium case.

In other news, One Piece has decided to go seasonal. It was surprising to see it go on hiatus last year and start back up this April. With that being said, I wonder if Detective Conan (another monolith in Japan) will go down the same route.

Also we have a new collection of Detective Conan episodes out on Crunchyroll. They have it underneath Conan vs The Black Organization now. I guess to distinguish it from the subtitled episodes. Hopefully they change it something else.

This Week’s Translation

毛利探偵事務所に来てた高木刑事に、“ブチ”って名前の人から「恩返しで情報提供したい」っていう電話が来たんだって! 待ち合わせの公園にボクと小五郎のおじさんも行ってみたら、包丁が刺さった男の人の遺体が! この人が“ブチ”って人みたいなんだけど、強盗計画が記されたメモを持ってたんだ! それで目暮警部の判断で強盗を止めるために張り込みを始めたんだけど…!?

TVオリジナル「ブチの恩返し」このあとすぐ!

— 江戸川コナン (@conan_file) November 8, 2025

Takagi, who was visiting the detective agency, got a call tipping him off about a crime. It was from a man named Buchi who owed a favor. Kogoro and I tagged along to meet with Buchi at a park, only to find a man stabbed to death! The man turned out to be Buchi and we found a note about a potential robbery! And so Inspector Megure decided to prevent it but an unexpected turn for the worse occurred!

Anime original “Buchi Returns a Favor” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

岩淵　克也（25）工場勤務
Iwabuchi Katsuya (25) Factory Worker

容疑者　ー　Suspects

中竹　巡 （24）強盗事件被疑者
Nakatake Jun (24) Robbery Suspect

小梅　美奈代（21）強盗事件被疑者
Koume Minayo (21) Robbery Suspect

大松　正義　（38）元服役囚
Daimatsu Masayoshi (38) Ex-convict

Once again we got a lot of characters introduced adding to the complexity of who killed Buchi. As soon as we get to Jun and Minayo, they had the true culprit pinned. So we have an ex-convict out for revenge on the police and the man that ratted him out. His plan was not well thought out and it was too easy to catch him. The guy was so cocky. He even claimed that someone framed him for the robbery despite his accomplices having already pointed him out.

And the nail in the coffin was due to him not picking up on the idiosyncrasies of Buchi’s writing. Luckily, his neighbor had the turtle kanji in his name.

On another note, I’m glad that Kaneko Jewelry Store wasn’t targeted this time.

Next Episode is…

As for the Conan Hint: Takoyaki – たこ焼き
