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

This Week’s Translation

食品会社の会長がアーチェリーの矢で殺された事件の現場に、小五郎のおじさんとボクが行ったんだ。
第一発見者は秘書の人で、被害者の顔はなぜか笑顔だったんだって!
容疑者は駆けつけた会長の息子さん兄弟で、2人は無実を証明するため、矢が放たれたらしい場所から実際に矢を射ることになったんだけど…!?

TVオリジナル「アーチェリーに嘘はつけない」このあとすぐ!

Kogoro and I found ourselves at a crime scene. A chairman of a food company was shot dead with an arrow.

The first witness was the secretary, and for some reason the victim was smiling. The suspects were the chairman’s own sons who rushed over to the scene of the crime! To prove their innocence, they decided to shoot an arrow from the suspected location it was fired!

Anime original “I Cannot Lie to Archery” coming up next!

And after a short break we are back with another anime original episode. My thoughts? Well, it was… an episode.
From start to finish, this episode was weird. Here’s some observations:

• Clear set up by Tachibana
• The brothers are beyond ignorant
• The opening scene was kinda messed up
• The dad pitting the brothers against each other
• The dad smiling like Gol D. Roger when he was killed

Did he have suspicions that Tachibana was out for revenge? Did he want his legacy to go up in flames? If so, this was a perfect way to do it. The only reasoning I can find on why he would bring her on is that he was aware of who she was and wanted to atone.

While I was looking up who wrote this episode it all made sense: it’s a Urasawa Yoshio episode. Same guy that brought us episodes like The Genius Restaurant, Intrigue at Smile Village, and Ballad of the Woman Who Loved Cake. He’s known for his weird episodes so it’s a relief that this wasn’t an out of pocket fever dream of an episode.

It’s rare to see a murder get censored in Detective Conan. Hopefully this won’t be a trend going further.

On another note, knowing Kogoro he probably would have taken them up on that offer. Good thing Conan was speaking for him. And good on him for giving them a warning.

Next Episode is…

We’ve got a Precure collab with Detective Conan?! Wasn’t expecting this for the 30th anniversary but here we are. Then again they did have a YouTube short up while back.

Here’s the PV for next week

As for the Conan Hint: ジュエル – Jewel
