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

This Week’s Translation

平次兄ちゃん達がモデルになった舞台の初日、「告白絶景ポイント」の場所を聞いた平次兄ちゃんは今度こそ和葉姉ちゃんに告白するって決意したみたい。
ところが舞台の出演者の人達が次々と変なポーズで転落死したんだ!
それがあやつり人形みたいなポーズだったから“傀儡の悪魔”って呼ばれてた元演出家の呪いだって騒がれたんだけど、ボクと平次兄ちゃんの推理は…!
そして平次兄ちゃんの告白の行方は…!?

「茜色の千秋楽(大楽)」このあとすぐ!

— 江戸川コナン (@conan_file) October 10, 2026

On the opening day of the play based off of Heiji and the others, Heiji seems determined to confess to Kazuha after hearing about a romantic spot.

But one by one the actors from the play met there end in a peculiar way.
After falling to their deaths, their corpses were put in a pose as if they were a marionette.
Much like how the former director was called the “Fiendish Pupeteer”, people are in an uproar about this being a curse! However, Heiji and my deductions point elsewhere!

Also… what about Heiji’s confession to Kazuha?!

“The Crimson Closing Day (The Final Show)” coming up after this!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victims

楢沢　美久（26）外山落葉役
Miku Narasawa (26) Plays Toyama Ochiba

垣脇　綾梨（27）毛利理英子役
Ayari Kakiwaki (27) Plays Mori Rieko

長窪　信哉（30）伊織駿河役
Nobuya Nagakubo (30) Plays Iori Suruga

容疑者　ー　Suspects

吉浦　利堅（31）毛利大五郎役
Toshikata Yoshiura (31) Plays Mori Daigoro

倉石　洋歌（25）大塚楓役
Youka Kuraishi (25) Plays Otuska Kaede

庵坂　典馬（25）服部平一役
Tenma Anzaka (25) Plays Hattori Heiichi

Was expecting a body double switcheroo but Tenma’s idea was far more intricate than expected. He took quite the gamble with that set up. The tablet or the mirror could have fell over or they could’ve walked right on in and turned on the light.

Nonetheless, the case was clear on motive and what was going on. Even the “message” was clear. Reminded me of one case where “SHINE” was used to tell someone something. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out so well.

It’s about time. Feared that the confession would get botched again. Even the murderer was wingmanning a little here reminding Heiji about the confession.

The moment has come. After 30 years and over 1200 episodes, the SS Heiji x Kazuha ship has sailed!

But alas we’ve got a loser in all this as well. She didn’t stand a chance but at least she shot her shot.

On another note, when I saw the different dress, I was thinking who the heck is that Kazuha then. And that’s where it hit me. She did say she had a surprise from Ran. Should’ve known it was her mom. That’s why Kazuha’s dad was staring daggers at her.

But if this is the case, where the heck has Kazuha been all this time and how did Conan track her down…? All’s well that end well I guess.

Next Episode is…

As for the Conan Hint: Ten-Yen Coin – 10円玉

Until next time 👋
