Case

Situation

Japan is about to celebrate the world's largest sports festival, "WSG-World Sports Games", in Tokyo. In line with the opening ceremony, it is announced that the world's first "Vacuum Superconducting Linear" train, boasting a maximum speed of 1,000 km/h which combined all of Japan's technologies, will be opened to the public between Shin-Nagoya Station and Shibahama Station and established in Tokyo. As the world's attention is garnered, an incident occurs at a party venue where famous tournament sponsors are gathered, leading to an abnormal situation where top dogs of companies are kidnapped one after another. Behind the scenes are Shuichi Akai who monitors the incident, and the FBI who waits for orders from Akai.

Conan's reasoning reveals the relevance of the apocalyptic WSG kidnapping incident that occurred in Boston, USA, fifteen years ago, and that the incident was also under the jurisdiction of the FBI. Is this a coincidence? What is going to happen in Japan, where many types of people from all over the world are gathered?

    Trivia

    • The movie was projected to break the box office revenue record of the previous movie. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic during Golden Week, theaters in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hyogo were closed. The movie earned a total of 7.65 billion yen from its domestic run.
    • The special guest voice actor for this movie is actress Minami Hamabe playing Hyper linear staff Eri Ishioka.
    • Due to poor performance of previous movies 22 and 23 outside the Catalan region, this movie was not dubbed in Spanish (Castilian) at release, being played on Spanish theaters only subbed on the Japanese version, alongside with the Catalan dub.
    • Despite the french dub of the series having stopped after episode 214 and movie 5, this movie will be the first movie of the franchise to get a french dub in twelve years, with the original anime voice actors from all characters that appeared prior to episode 214, with the notable exception of Takagi, whose voice actor moved to France, and Kogoro and Megure, whose voice actor died in 2015. In addition, this will be the first movie to have the same french voice actors as in the series, as the five first movies had different voice actors due to licensing issues.
