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

This Week’s Translation

昨日の夜、小五郎のおじさんが酔っ払ってどこかに手帳を落としちゃったんだって!
ボクも一緒に探したんだけど、お寺の石段の途中のベンチにいたおじいさんとおばあさんが手帳を拾ってくれてたみたい。

そしたら石段の上から声が聞こえてきて、男の人が一人転がり落ちてきたんだ!
さらに上の方から男の人が現れて、もう一人被害者がいるって言うんだけど…!?

TVオリジナル「転げ落ちてきた男」このあとすぐ!

Kogoro-ojisan got drunk last night and dropped his notebook somewhere.
We went looking for it and on the way to the temple’s stairs there was an elderly couple sitting at a bench who happened to find it.

But then, we heard someone yell up on the stairs, and a man came falling down! From up top of the stairs, another man told us another victim was there!

Anime original “The Man Who Came Falling Down” coming up next!

We got a new OP with some blast from the past shots here and there. I think it would’ve been cool to see something like Makka na Lip where they took shots from the manga. However, as this is the anime’s 30th anniversary it was nice to see redone shots of key parts in the anime. Speaking of key parts, I hope to see more canon episodes soon.

Now onto the episode. It was obvious from the start that he was the culprit. Or at least apart of it. They both had a connection in the mystery author. It’s a shame that Koiwai killed the guy that didn’t have anything to do with using his trick in the story. I can see that Okubo was just trying to protect Tsubota from getting caught up by lying. Then again, this could have been settled another way.

We haven’t got a ghost writer motive in a while. Wish it was executed better instead of it boiling down to how Tsubota killed the guy for not acknowledging they were partners. He pulled a stupid stunt and stole ideas from someone else. Okubo covered for him like a dad looking out for a son so I can see why he said that. Nonetheless, the guy’s pride took over and two people had to pay a grave price.

Nonetheless, the episode was okay. A bit disappointed that Kogoro couldn’t even see through this. I know he’s goofy but it would be great to see him solve a mystery or two every now and then. Unfortunately, I can’t even call this a mystery as it was clear as to what may have transpired up at that shrine.

Next Episode is…

With the World Cup almost over, I guess this is a good time than ever to put out this anime original next week. Haven’t seen one of these episodes in a while.

As for the Conan Hint: VAR (Video Assistant Referee)

Until next time 👋
