This Week’s Translation

授業参観の日の朝、みんなで登校中に文房具を買うためコンビニに寄ったら、
同じ学校のマリアちゃん、たくま君、団野君の3人に会ったんだ。

学校に行くと団野君が「人喰い教室」の話をしていて、花壇が真っ黒コゲになったこともあったって言うんだ。

そしたら教室の横の花壇が燃えてるのを発見して…!?…

It was the morning of Parent’s Day when we were off to school. We stopped to get some school supplies at the convenience store when we ran into our schoolmates Maria, Takuma, and Danno.

When we got to school, Danno started talking about “The Man-Eating Classroom” ghost story, and said that even a flowerbed got burnt to a crisp.

And then, the flowerbed outside our classroom caught on fire!

“The Mystery of the Man-Eating Classroom (Part One)” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

花壇
Flowerbed

容疑者　ー　Suspects

東尾　マリア （７）１年B組
Kurashima Yuya (７) Class 1-B

坂本　たくま　（７）１年B組
Sakamoto Takuma (７) Class 1-B

団野　皆介　（７）１年A組
Danno Kaisuke (７) Class 1-A

It feels as if it has been ages since we had a case involving Teitan Elementary School. Even mentioning Maria and Edogawa Fumio was a blast from the past. Now that I think about it, considering Conan is in elementary school you’d think he’d have more cases involved with his classmates but the opportunity doesn’t come often. Luckily, this canon case is here.

Conan bringing up the fact that he hasn’t grown even a millimeter since he took APTX 4869 is a bit concerning. Given the effects of the medicine, it probably doesn’t just revert you back to a younger age but keeps you at that exact state indefinitely. If that’s the case, Haibara and Conan are going to be in some trouble in a year or two due to them not aging at all. Kind of reminds me of that kid from Baccano that has to move from place to place so people don’t catch on that he’s basically immortal.

The case itself is a fun break away from the murder mysteries and I like how it will progress the story further. Maybe another reveal is on the way. The culprits all seem to have a motive but given that Kaisuke was doubling down on that ghost story and he is from a different class, it might be him. Plus, the potato chip at the crime scene, the 10 yen coin hint and Conan’s usual “word trap” is making him more suspicious.

Next Episode is…

After we left school, we saw Genta who left before us running off somewhere. Turns out he was helping out the unagi restaurant owner who got hurt with a delivery.

But when we got back to the restaurant, there was a police car and onlookers out front! To protect the peace of the unaju, the overzealous Genta and the Detective Boys went on to investigate the people who visited the shop!

Anime original “Genta’s Casebook of the Eel” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

鰻塚　茂（60）鰻屋「銀八」店主
Unagizuka Shigeru (60) Owner of Eel Shop “Ginpachi”

容疑者　ー　Suspects

倉島　雄也 （31）「倉島醬油」五代目当主
Kurashima Yuya (31) 5th Head of “Kurashima Soy Sauce”

岡本　寛之　（45）葵屋百貨店　催事担当
Okamoto Hiroyuki (45) Aoiya Department Store Event Manager

松井　梨央　（28）会社員
Matsui Rio (28) Office Worker

Love the new OP.

Have not caught up with the manga so I’m hoping that this opening is hinting at Ran getting back into the spotlight. The visuals are very cinematic. And speaking of visuals, this episode looked good. The characters seemed more proportionate.

Ladies and gentlemen… they’ve finally done it. We had Ayumi’s Picture Diary and Mitsuhiko’s Detective Notes. Now get ready for Genta’s Casebook of the Eel. Found Genta more tolerable in this one. He’s usually not seen as useful in the Detective Boys and goes on and on about unaju but it pays off in this episode. Really shows how perceptive Genta can be and really wish they’d use the Detective Boys in more effective ways.

I did like that Conan picked up on Okamoto’s Kansai-ben. Hanging out with Heiji must’ve helped a lot here. Finding out he still had the fan was cool, but Genta really should’ve kept the fan in the file to avoid messing up the fingerprints. Nonetheless, Okamoto got taken down by Genta’s body slam and was hauled off to the police station. Luckily, the owner of the shop wasn’t killed.

Next Episode is…

Bit shocked that the next episode is canon. Wasn’t expecting another canon case until August or September. Look like it is going to be a case at Teitain Elementary so perhaps there’s hope for the Detective Boys to be more effective in this case.

チェス大会の会場で、黒田管理官はボクに未解決事件の暗号を解いて欲しいって言うんだ。
17年前の事件の時、殺害現場で黒田管理官はアマンダさんのボディガード・浅香って人を見つけたんだけど…!?

それでボクが現場にあった暗号を解いてたら、黒田管理官がその浅香って人そっくりだっていう若狭先生が先に帰っちゃったみたい。
しかも自分の傘を置いてったみたいで…!?

Commissioner Kuroda wanted me to solve a cold case at the chess tournament’s venue.

During the case from 17 years ago, Kuroda was at the crime scene when he found Amanda’s bodyguard who was… Wakasa?!

After I figured out the mystery from the photo, Ms. Wakasa -who Commissioner Kuroda says has an uncanny resemblance to the bodyguard – seemed to have gone home.

And she left her umbrella behind!

“The 17-Year-Old Truth: The Queen’s Gambit” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

Good to see how all this occurred. And 10 years in a coma?! I guess that’s the reason why the memories are still so fresh in his mind. Kuroda seems like a sharp guy, so I find it strange for him to rely on Conan to figure this out. Or perhaps it was a test of Conan’s ability.

And holy cheeseballs! Wakasa is as scary as ever. Truly a cruel tactician. If Rum didn’t catch on Koboyashi would have been dead. She even robbed a gun store (wait… they have gun stores in Japan?! Oh, wait probably for hunting purposes or something. Thought it was like a hard ban on all guns, but I guess not.)

Love how Shuuichi ain’t even trying to hide his identity while chilling at the window in Shinichi’s house.

On another note, I’m surprised that Rum hasn’t used APTX 4869 already. I mean it seems like it would be easy to get a hold of due to them losing Shiho but surely, they have other ways of getting it, right?

Wonder how young he’ll become. More terrified that he’ll end up having that power back in both of his eyes if he gets a hold of it.

Next Episode is…?

No preview for the next episode. Most likely will be some remastered case in Japan. Nothing but canon cases through June. Hopefully July has something in store for us.

Until next time 👋

チェスの大会に参加する白鳥警部を応援するためにボクたちが会場に行ったら、参加者が遺体となって発見されたんだ!

ボクはダイイング・メッセージと、犯人が使ったトリックに気付いて事件は解決したんだけど、そのあと黒田管理官はボクに1枚の写真を見せてくれたんだ。

それで17年前の羽田浩司さんやアマンダ・ヒューズさんが殺害された事件の謎を解いてくれって言うんだ。

When we went to go cheer on Shiratori at a chess tournament, a participant’s corpse was found!

I solved the case with the dying message and figured out how the murderer did the trick but, Commissioner Kuroda showed me a photo afterwards.

He asked me to mystery behind the deaths of Koji Haneda and Amanda Hughes.

And the person lurking in the shadows near the chess tournament’s venue – Rum!

“The 17-Year-Old Truth: The Far-Sighted Bishop” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

So exciting to see what happened back then. At first, I thought he was going to shrink given the steam coming off of him. Considering this was 17 years ago perhaps the APTX 4869 wasn’t perfected just yet.

I get time is a weird thing in Detective Conan. It’s just strange to see them have smartphones in a flashback from 17 years ago. At least give them flip phones to fit the times. Given the iphone came out around 17 years ago, I guess it fits but oh well. Typical “when the heck are we” time happens a lot in Detective Conan.

Learning more about Rum and his abilities were interesting, too. Wonder how he lost that ability in his other eye and I guess were about to find out what happens to his left one. And the fact that these codenames can be passed down makes me wonder how long Karasuma has been alive. Or perhaps, that name has been passed down as well.

We went to go cheer on Shiratori at a chess tournament with Ms. Kobayashi and Ms. Wakasa. And his opponent was Commissioner Kuroda!

But before the match began, a murder occurred!

After hearing my deductions based on the dying message and everyone’s alibis, Commissioner Kuroda began recalling a case from 17 years ago – the unsolved case where Koji Haneda was murdered!

“The 17-Year-Old Truth: The Perceptive Devil” coming up next!

Ogawara Kinji (37) Tournament Participant

木崎　邦和　（34）大会参加者
Kisaki Kunikazu (34) Tournament Participant

Interesting to see how that played out for the case. I’m mostly happy to see what went down with Rumi Wakasa and Kuroda all those years ago.

Love the Agasa’s science show and Conan trying to be secretive about Shinichi. He clearly can’t trust Rumi yet. Hopefully after Kuroda tells the tale, he’ll be able to make her an ally. And maybe then that will get Wakasa off of Haibara’s back.

　When a hostess found a safe during reconstruction of the inn, she got an email about someone being after what is in it, so she hired Kogoro as a bodyguard. While Kogoro, Ran, antique specialists and I were keeping watch over the safe, the entrepreneur opened it to find old gold coins! Afterwards, he drove everyone out of the room to test the authenticity of the coins. But that night, the room he was in went up in flames!

Anime Original “The Counting Song Heard in the Dark” coming up!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

財前　一平（65）実業家
Zaizen Ippei (65) Entrepeneur

容疑者　ー　Suspects

川端　誠司 （53）骨董鑑定者
Seiji Kawabata (53) Antique Appraiser

門倉　伸弥　（46）古物商
Shinya Kadokura (46) Antique Dealer

富永　京子　（32）古民家宿の女将
Kyoko Tominaga (32) Traditional House Inn Hostess

This episode felt like a classic Detective Conan episode. They even had Kogoro conking out after food and drink and waking up when things start popping off. The trick also felt as if it came from Aoyama himself with how science based it was. Kind of missed this pattern in the anime lately.

Kadokura’s habit of checking his watch is what did him in when it came to stealing the coin. I’ll give him props for the calculated trick but the way he killed the guy seemed rather rash. Would have liked to see what went down. Surely, they were arguing about the coins or something of that nature.

The motive: another swindler situation. A bit understandable to have resentment against the guy who took everything from you, but I still would like to see someone stick to getting revenge another way.

Next Episode is…❓

After the punny end credit scene, it looks we are going back to remasters in Japan. It’s the “Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene” Case so hopefully this is a refresher and a hint that we are getting more canon anime cases coming soon in June.

Until next time 👋

歩美ちゃんが絵日記の題材に困ってたら、偶然TVに犯罪ドキュメンタリー番組が放送されてたんだって。 それでドキュメンタリー映画を作れば、自由研究と絵日記の一石二鳥だって言うんだ。

Ayumi was having trouble coming up with a topic for her illustrated diary. She happened to catch a crime documentary which gave her an idea – if she made one, she could get the picture diary and the independent study project done at the same time.

And Kogoro was just the person to go to for an interview! We talked about a solved vandalism case, so it didn’t seem like we’d be doing anything dangerous, but looking back at the footage and this case – what’s this bad feeling I’m getting?

Anime Original “Ayumi’s Illustrated Diary 5” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

I thought my hopes for Kogoro were being answered from the previous episode but, I knew that this was about Ayumi making another picture diary. Seeing “Kogoro’s Case Files” made me think it could be its own thing. Nonetheless, Ayumi is back again with her writer’s block and this time she’s getting a bit more ambitious – by making a documentary!

The true culprit’s methods were strange. She rents an apartment to hypnotize her neighbor so he would break into a jewelry store. But he goes around smashing things with a bat and spray-painting cameras. The hypnosis seemed to only make the guy paranoid, so I don’t why she thought this was a good idea.

I get that she wanted to avoid being in the cameras leading to the jewelry store, but did she ever think that there were most likely cameras inside the very place she was robbing. On top of that, she didn’t think that he might just move out due to the annoyance or make a complaint. Or better yet just unplug the planetarium. This IoT trick could be an interesting thing to use in another case though.

On another note, I did like the Detective Boys wearing other character’s clothes. Makes me wonder where Genta, Mitsuhiko and Sato will be when they are in their 20s. Wouldn’t mind seeing them running a detective agency with Shinichi and Shiho.

Next Episode is…

But first, Happy Birthday to Conan/Shinichi!

Still find it a bit funny that he chose his actual birthday. Just another coincidence to stack up with the rest and make Ran doubt him even more.

Inspector Megure was lurking around the detective agency’s office. He had suspicions that his subordinate was having an affair. Without any proof of the infidelity, he wanted Kogoro to get solid evidence. As soon as we began investigating, it seems he was meeting with a woman.

Sequel to the Detective Conan Movie: One-Eyed Flashback!
Anime original “The Secret Afterimage” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

When I saw the preview for this episode last week, I was afraid that it was going to be Megure having a misunderstanding about Takagi cheating on Sato (^-^;

Turns out it is an epilogue of sorts from the new movie. This might be the first time they have actually done something like this. Still reading the novel, so Wani being killed off was a spoiler (´；ω；`)ｳｯ… Now I’m even more curious about what happens in this film.

As expected, it was a misunderstanding, and it was with good intentions. Thought the woman would be his sister or something. But that was cool of Sawatari to tie up loose ends for his coworker. It is sad to see Kogoro like that though.

Speaking of Kogoro, I hope he is getting his time to shine in the movie. I like his bumbling detective side but would love to see him handle some cases on his own. This episode alone was showing that he hasn’t had any work in a while. Heck, even Ran was helping him out by telling Megure about their price packages.

It was a good anime original episode. Murder mysteries are Detective Conan’s bread and butter but seeing cases like this every now and then is a breath of fresh air.

Next Episode is…

Ayumi is getting another one?!
I guess Mitsuhiko’s Detective Notes will be getting on soon as well.
Wonder if Genta will ever get one? Like Genta’s Cookbook or Food Review.
