<spoiler>
'''Kaneko's personal bodyguard''' and the '''woman in a purple hoodie''' are members of the '''Santos Thieves' guild'''. Anna Akechi in her Cure Answer outfit (who is actually Kaitou Kid in disguise) shows up to warn them about copyright infringement. As the kids are discussing after the attempted theft, Haibara wonders if Kid is one of Pretty Cure fans or not. Meanwhile, the scene of the real Anna Akechi walking somewhere also captures the image of Kaitou Kid on his way home. </spoiler>

== Production details ==
[[File:Detective Conan x Star Detective Precure promo cover.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Promotional material for Detective Conan and Star Detective PreCure!'s crossover episodes with their air dates]]
The ''Detective Conan X Star Detective PreCure!'' collaboration project started with the ''[[Wikipedia:Pretty Cure!|Pretty Cure!]]'' producer, ''Masaya Aramaki'', having interest in seeing both series connect with each other, due to its installment's detective theme and how he's a big fan of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' series. Despite his doubts, he approached the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Detective PreCure!|Star Detective PreCure!]]'' staff about the crossover idea, half-jokingly saying "It'd be fun if we could do this, right?". The staff would be interested at the idea, along with [[TMS Entertainment]] and [[Yorimuri TV]] staff. Additionally, Yorimuri TV was interested at ''transcending the limits of the broadcasting stations'' with the crossover, since Star Detective PreCure! airs on [[Wikipedia:TV Asahi|TV Asahi]].

[[Masataka Todo]], the producer of ''Detective Conan'', admits that it isn't unprecendented for studios and production companies to have collaborations, but noted that a collaboration with a high broadcasting station would be a "huge ask". And noted that the crossover between two series was a success thanks to the ''tireless effort'' of many parties involved.

During the proposal stages, the ''PreCure!'' producer [https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/Kawasaki_Kouji Koji Kawasaki] admits that he was skeptical at first with the collaboration as to whether it'd happen. As the collaboration advances in development stages, he admits that he remembers ''being hit with a strong wave of "Oh, is this really happening?"''. He was interested in seeing two different works be merged together and intrigued in using different approaches to take advantage of each series's setting. He also wanted the characters to be ''intrinsically involved in each other's stories'', highlighting its self-contained nature.

[[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]], the current ''Detective Conan'' director, was also enthusiastic about the crossover idea, although he had concerns about world-building and tones differences between the two series (as ''Detective Conan'' is a mystery action series, while ''Pretty Cure!'' is a magical girl franchise), as well as the world-building rules of ''Detective Conan'' in particular. When the script is shown to [[Gosho Aoyama]], he insisted that things such as "magic and fantasy" do not exist in ''Detective Conan'' universe. Yamamoto says that he'd like to incorporate the appearances for other Pretty Cures, and hopes that the story would be realized in the future.

Masaya Aramaki admits that the staff had difficulties handling the transformation aspects of PreCure! within the Conan universe, and how far they could incorporate fantasy. He said that they managed to explore options and admits that it was pretty fun working in the crossover special. The staff did end up placing stuff for the viewers to feel they're watching ''Detective Conan'' in ''Star Detective PreCure!'' episode, out of respect for the series.<ref>https://www.crank-in.net/interview/185440/1</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The ''Pretty Cure'' episode showed in the beginning is directly based on the eighteenth episode of ''[[Wikipedia:Star Detective PreCure!|Star Detective PreCure!]]'', ''[https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/MPC18 The Detectives Assemble]'', which was a crossover episode with ''Detective Conan'', part of the collaboration.
** Although, in the ''Detective Conan'' episode, the PreCure! episode shown doesn't feature [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], whom appeared in the crossover.
* This marks the first time [[Kaitou Kid]] played a major role in an [[List of anime-original cases|anime-original]] episode of the [[Anime|main anime]].

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
'''Kaneko's personal bodyguard''' and the '''woman in a purple hoodie''' are members of the '''Santos Thieves' guild'''. Anna Akechi in her Cure Answer outfit (who is actually Kaitou Kid in disguise) shows up to warn them about copyright infringement. As the kids are discussing after the attempted theft, Haibara wonders if Kid is one of Pretty Cure fans or not. Meanwhile, the scene of the real Anna Akechi walking somewhere also captures the image of Kaitou Kid on his way home. </spoiler>

== Production details ==
[[File:Detective Conan x Star Detective Precure promo cover.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Promotional material for Detective Conan and Star Detective PreCure!'s crossover episodes with their air dates]]
The ''Detective Conan X Star Detective PreCure!'' collaboration project started with the ''[[Wikipedia:Pretty Cure!|Pretty Cure!]]'' producer, ''Masaya Aramaki'', having interest in seeing both series connect with each other, due to its installment's detective theme and how he's a big fan of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' series. Despite his doubts, he approached the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Detective PreCure!|Star Detective PreCure!]]'' staff about the crossover idea, half-jokingly saying "It'd be fun if we could do this, right?". The staff would be interested at the idea, along with [[TMS Entertainment]] and [[Yorimuri TV]] staff. Additionally, Yorimuri TV was interested at ''transcending the limits of the broadcasting stations'' with the crossover, since Star Detective PreCure! airs on [[Wikipedia:TV Asahi|TV Asahi]].

[[Masataka Todo]], the producer of ''Detective Conan'', admits that it isn't unprecendented for studios and production companies to have collaborations, but noted that a collaboration with a high broadcasting station would be a "huge ask". And noted that the crossover between two series was a success thanks to the ''tireless effort'' of many parties involved.

During the proposal stages, the ''PreCure!'' producer [https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/Kawasaki_Kouji Koji Kawasaki] admits that he was skeptical at first with the collaboration as to whether it'd happen. As the collaboration advances in development stages, he admits that he remembers ''being hit with a strong wave of "Oh, is this really happening?"''. He was interested in seeing two different works be merged together and intrigued in using different approaches to take advantage of each series's setting. He also wanted the characters to be ''intrinsically involved in each other's stories'', highlighting its self-contained nature.

[[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]], the current ''Detective Conan'' director, was also enthusiastic about the crossover idea, although he had concerns about world-building and tones differences between the two series (as ''Detective Conan'' is a mystery action series, while ''Pretty Cure!'' is a magical girl franchise), as well as the world-building rules of ''Detective Conan'' in particular. When the script is shown to [[Gosho Aoyama]], he insisted that things such as "magic and fantasy" do not exist in ''Detective Conan'' universe. Yamamoto says that he'd like to incorporate the appearances for other Pretty Cures, and hopes that the story would be realized in the future.

Masaya Aramaki admits that the staff had difficulties handling the transformation aspects of PreCure! within the Conan universe, and how far they could incorporate fantasy. He said that they managed to explore options and admits that it was pretty fun working in the crossover special. The staff did end up placing stuff for the viewers to feel they're watching ''Detective Conan'' in ''Star Detective PreCure!'' episode, out of respect for the series.<ref>https://www.crank-in.net/interview/185440/1</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The ''Pretty Cure'' episode showed in the beginning is directly based on the eighteenth episode of ''[[Wikipedia:Star Detective PreCure!|Star Detective PreCure!]]'', ''[https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/MPC18 The Detectives Assemble]'', which was a crossover episode with ''Detective Conan'', part of the collaboration.
** Although, in the ''Detective Conan'' episode, the PreCure! episode shown doesn't feature [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], whom appeared in the crossover.
* This marks the first time [[Kaitou Kid]] played a major role in an [[List of anime-original cases|anime-original]] episode of the [[Anime|main anime]].
