Trivia
- Although this episode may seem somewhat absurd, it is actually an insinuation of social phenomena with outrageous plots: reflects eldery scam.
- In one of the interviews[1], director Yasuichiro Yamamoto disclosed many things about this episode:
- He knew that every time Urasawa's script is being aired, it caused intense discussions, and he called Urasawa's script surrealism.
- They followed almost everything Urasawa indicated in the original script, except the special way that Shibuzura walks.
- The scenario where the table with the contract deposited got kicked away by Conan's football was actually the storyboard artist, Masaharu Okuwaki's idea.
- He thinks that Urasawa's scripts can bring a sense of addiction particularly, and he would love to see his next "famous" work.
- Some character names are insipired from dances, like Tango (a romantic dance from Argentina), Waltz, and Ondo (a folklore japanese dance).
