Case

Situation

Mysterious assassinations have been happening around the world. The suspect is a spy accessing classified files. In Japan, a woman breaks into Tokyo police headquarters and accesses secret files on spies planted in the Black Organization by many intelligence agencies: the English MI6, the Canadian CSIS, the German BND, and the American CIA and FBI. Before this spy can steal the files, Rei Furuya arrives with a cadre of his secret police officers. The spy makes a getaway in a stolen car, but Rei soon catches up in his Mazda FD RX-7. The two jockey for position on the highway and are about to cause a huge wreck. Before they can crash, Shuichi Akai snipes the spy's car from the hood of his red and white striped Ford Mustang. The spy's car tumbles off the highway and explodes.

The next day, Conan, Professor Agasa, Haibara, and the Detective Boys meet up at the newly renovated "Tohto Aquarium". Under the centerpiece of the park, a massive ferris wheel, they find an injured woman with heterochromia. The woman is suffering memory loss, she doesn't know her own name and even her cellphone is broken. Conan and his friends decide to stay together with her and help her to recover her lost memory. Unknown to Conan and his friends, Vermouth had been lurking nearby with a silenced pistol and had overheard everything. She pulls back and contacts Gin. The woman in question is in fact a new member of the Black Organization.

    Trivia

    Line drawing of a V-22 Osprey (MV-22).

    • This movie is a commemorative work for the 20th anniversary of Detective Conan anime.
    • The American V/STOL seen at the movie's climax is a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, but at the time this film was released, no ones have been delivered to non-US countries, although Japan's parliament approved a defense budget in January 2015 with funding for five V-22s which will be delivered by 2018. It would have thus been practically impossible for the Black Organization to obtain any of them.
    • The helicopter in the Canada scene used by Cianti is a Boeing AH-64 Apache.
    • The special guest voice actor for this movie is actress Yuki Amami voicing Curaçao.
    • Restaurant Danny's Dinning reappears in this movie.

    • This film is dedicated to Masahito Yoshioka, the real-life chief producer of Detective Conan between 1996 and 2011 from Tokyo Movie Shinsa, who died on January 14, 2016. A title card reads "In memory of Masahito Yoshioka" appears during the end credits of the film.
    • The three cars in the ending theme are a white Mazda RX-7, a red Ford Shelby GT500 SVT and a 1998 dark blue Toyota Mark II [X100].
    • The end credits featured scenes from Singapore, including the Fountain of Wealth, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands Skypark, and the Singapore Flyer.
