To commemorate the release of “Detective Conan: Flashback of the One-Eyed,” Friday Road Show will hold a “Three-Week Conan Festival” starting on April 4th. The popular movies “Detective Conan: The 14th Target,” “Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Horizon,” and “Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Five-Pointed Star” will be broadcast.
“Detective Conan: Flashback of the One-Eyed” is set on the snow-covered Mount Miho in the Yatsugatake mountain range in Nagano Prefecture. The members of the Nagano Prefectural Police who are investigating the case, and Kogoro Mouri, who will be the key person this time. For the first time in the movie version, the spotlight will be on members of the Nagano Prefectural Police (Gansuke Yamato, Takaaki Morofushi, Yui Uehara).

Moreover, Kogoro Mori, who usually acts as a confused detective known as “Sleeping Kogoro”, is showing a serious expression, raising expectations that we may see an awakened version of the old man. Therefore, Friday Road Show will broadcast “The 14th Target” and “Strategy Above the Horizon”, in which Kogoro Mori plays an active role. In the third week, the show will broadcast the full-length, uncut version of “The Million Dollar Five-Pointed Star”, in which Kaitou Kid, Heiji, and Conan investigate the mystery surrounding Hijikata Toshizo’s Japanese sword in Hokkaido.

● “Detective Conan: The 14th Target”

Broadcast date and time: April 4th, 9:00pm-10:54pm

Inspector Megure, Ran’s mother and lawyer, Kisaki Eri, and Professor Agasa are targeted by someone. Since the target is someone close to Kogoro, it is believed that the culprit has a grudge against Kogoro…?

Meanwhile, Conan notices that the items left at the scene are related to playing cards, and finds a common thread in the names of the three people who were attacked. Conan and his friends head to the marine entertainment facility “Aqua Crystal” to escort sommelier Sawaki Kohei, an old friend of Kogoro who has the character “八” for “eight,” and encounter four people with numbers in their names. What is the true purpose of the culprit’s serial attacks? And who is the “14th Target” in the subtitle? The film also depicts the past incident that led Kogoro to quit being a detective. Kogoro Mouri is an excellent shooter. But why did his bullet graze the hostage’s leg?

● “Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Horizon”
Broadcast date and time: April 11th, 9:00pm-10:54pm
Conan, Ran, and the Detective Boys are invited to the maiden voyage of the luxury liner Aphrodite, which is sailing through the Pacific Ocean, thanks to Sonoko’s kindness. They enjoy an elegant cruise on the ocean, with many celebrities and politicians on board, but in the middle of a game of hide-and-seek, Sonoko is kidnapped and imprisoned by someone. Thanks to Conan’s deductions, she is safely rescued, but then a murder occurs on board the ship. Conan realizes the connection between the sinking of the cargo ship Daiichi Yatsudai Maru, which occurred 15 years ago, and a traffic accident two weeks ago, and deduces the reasoning. The case seems to have been solved, but then the bombs planted by the criminal explode one after another. As the passengers evacuate the ship, which has begun to flood, Kogoro Mori remains on the ship.
Kogoro Mori’s reasoning, which is usually often off the mark, is brilliant in this one! This is a work in which you can enjoy the image of a “competent old man.”

● “Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Five-Pointed Star”
Broadcast date and time: April 18th, 9:00pm-11:19pm, first broadcast of the full movie
A warning letter from Kaitou Kid arrives at the storage facility of the Oke Zaibatsu in Hakodate, Hokkaido. This time, Kid is aiming for a Japanese sword connected to Hijikata Toshizo, vice-chief of the Shinsengumi who lived during the end of the Edo period. Why is Kaitou Kid, who has only pursued jewels known as big jewels, aiming for a sword…?
Meanwhile, the great detective of the west, Hattori Heiji, and Conan are also visiting Hakodate for a kendo tournament, and on the day of the warning, Heiji sees through Kid’s disguise and corners him, but…!?
At the same time, a body with a cross-shaped cut on its chest is found in the Hakodate warehouse district. The man who emerged in the investigation was a Japanese-American man known as the “Merchant of Death,” who works as an arms dealer throughout Asia. He was searching for a treasure that was said to have been hidden somewhere in Hakodate by the first head of the Oke family, who was deeply involved in the munitions industry during the war. It was rumored that the treasure was a powerful weapon that could turn the tide of the war, when Japan was on the brink of defeat…and it seems that the treasure and the sword that Kid is after are somehow related, and the shadow of a mysterious “swordsman” looms over Kid, who is after the sword.
The film was the biggest hit of the series, grossing 15.8 billion yen. The co-starring of “popular characters” such as Kaitou Kid, Hattori Heiji, and Conan was also a hot topic.
