Situation

Part 1

It was the 4th year of the Sengoku Era. On that fateful night, the slandered Hidetomo Okiname requested an audience with his tyrannical master, Genbu Ohara, pleading with him to cease his incessant harassment. However, that only served to anger Genbu, resulting in the annihilation of the entire Okiname family. In despair over his loss, Hidetomo donned his armor, cut down Genbu, and committed suicide by slitting his own throat. There's a legend which says that Hidetomo's spirit wanders about to this day, and that those who encounter him will meet an untimely end. Therefore, the Hidetomo Festival was created, intending to calm his vengeful spirit. Incidentally, payment from the previous owner included a replica of the helmet that Hidetomo wore as he committed suicide. That day marks the 500th anniversary of Hidetomo's death.

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are driving to a hot spring in a certain countryside outside Tokyo when the road gets closed due to snow, and so they accept an offer of staying the night at a nearby house, where they meet the famous guitarist Yoshiro Daimon, his older brother Kazuki Daimon, their housekeeper Hatsuho Hojo, Kazuki's wife Kayoko Daimon, Daimon Industries president Genichiro Daimon, and his wife Tatsuko Daimon. The next day they discover the dead body of the company president.

    Trivia

    • This is the last Detective Conan case written by screenwriter Chiaki Hashiba. It was aired one year after her death, therefore the other screenwriter, Fumiko Komatsuzaki, was probably responsible for completing the unfinished part of the story.
    • The Sengoku Era is the period from 1467-1573 in which the then separate Japanese tribes constantly fought for separation or unification from each other, not unlike the American Civil War. The 4th year was 1470, 531 and not 500 years before the episode's airdate.
