Sonoko, Ran and I took a trip to stay at Sonoko’s villa!

Sonoko scared Ran with a scary story based on the Hannya that is rumored to be haunting the nearby forest. So, I went into the forest with Sonoko to gather some edible wild plants and to see if the rumor is true. That is when we were chased by the Hannya!

Anime original “Sonoko and Conan’s Spooky Story Night” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

Great to see the Deduction Queen back in action. Had some great attention to detail and deductive reasoning with this episode. Plus, I like the dynamic between her and Conan. She really went all out to protect Conan.

Three suspects and they all had something interesting about them. I am kinda curious why Gonbei stop pointing his gun at the killer though. As soon as they all figured out who the killer was from process of elimination, you’d think it would good idea to keep the gun pointed at the guy with a freaking shotgun.

Love Ran showing up and kicking the guy. Her first ass kicking she belted out many years ago is something I was hoping for.

Overall, not too bad for an anime original episode. The scene between Sonoko going for the axe and then hearing the explanation from Gonbei was jarring. They even did that classic thing where they repeat a scene after what seems to be a commercial break. I found it a bit strange for Conan to take the suspenders and not his shoes. With how much crazy stuff happens on trips, you’d think he’d want to be prepared as much as possible.

Another thing that threw me off about this case is what did he do with girl’s ring? She had it on when he killed her. But after he buried her, it was gone. Conan deduced that she must’ve taken it off when meeting the culprit. On top of that, we didn’t even get to know the name of the victim.

Lastly, I liked the end card. Quite fitting as it is rainy season in Japan.

Next Episode is…

Looks like another canon episode is on the way. Surely this will give us a chance to see how Rei is paying even more attention to Conan.

As for the Conan Hint: マッチ – Matches

Until next time 👋
