=== Situation ===
Child prodigy Hiroki Sawada is introduced by a TV program running in the background, while Hiroki himself is working on a computer. The program host explains that by the age of ten, he is already a MIT graduate school student and has developed a DNA Tracker software and is now in the final stage of his second major project, an artificial brain dubbed Noah's Ark. The program host goes on to explain that Hiroki has been under the guardianship of Thomas Schindler, owner of the software giant Schindler, Inc., since his mother died, and that he has been put under a rigorous study program and has had a somewhat deprived childhood. After turning the TV off, Hiroki finishes Noah's Ark, and sends the software through the telephone lines, which causes his computer to show the message "Noah's Ark Sailed Out", simultaneously triggering an alarm in the guardroom. The security guard calls Thomas Schindler and both try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally break into Hiroki's room, they find that Hiroki is not in the room. Schindler finds Hiroki's shoes on the balcony; He jumped from the top of the building to his death.

A TV program introduces Hiroki Sawada, a ten-year old computer prodigy. The reporter explains that Hiroki is already in graduate school at MIT. He has developed a DNA-tracker software and is now about to complete his second major project, an artificial mind called Noah's Ark. Since Hiroki's mother died, he has been looked after by Thomas Schindler, CEO of Schindler Inc., an influential software company. Schindler recognised Hiroki's enormous talent and encouraged him to develop it further, putting him under a rigorous study program with little free time or time to be a child.
 +
 
 +
Hiroki, who has been watching the program about himself, turns his TV off and goes back to his computer, putting the finishing touches on Noah's Ark. Once he is satisfied, he sends the artificial intelligence on his way and his computer shows the message "Noah's Ark sailed away", which also triggers an alarm in the building he is working in. A security guard notices the alarm and calls Thomas Schindler. Together, they try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally manage to open the door, Hiroki is nowhere to be found. Dismayed, Schindler sees Hiroki's shoes on the balcony and has to conclude the inevitable: Hiroki committed suicide by jumping off the balcony.

Two years later, at the Beika City Hall, Schindler, Inc. holds a demonstration of a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many kids, including the Detective Boys, are invited to the demonstration. However, only the kids with badges are chosen for the demonstration. Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo arrive at the City Hall. Agasa gives Conan Edogawa a badge and tells Conan that his mother, Yukiko Kudo, would not be there because of an alumni reunion. The rest of Detective Boys trick a few kids by exchanging badges for the Premium Golden Yaiba Cards. They all use the badges and participate in the demonstration.

Two years later, Schindler Inc. presents its newest product at Beika City hall, a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many children attend the presentation, hoping they are among the lucky ones who are allowed to test Cocoon for the first time. To be included among the first players, the children have to obtain a special badge that was quite expensive. Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Haibara, and Mitsuhiko watch the crowd sadly, realising none of them could afford to pay for it, when Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo join them. Agasa hands Conan a badge and says it was paid for for his parents and that his mother Yukiko could not join them because she has a class reunion.
  
In another room, Schindler kills Kashimura, one of his top employees, and Kashimura types in a dying message: the letters J, T and R.

The other Detective Boys trade Golden Kamen Yaiba Cards with some other children in exchange for a Cocoon badge. So, all five of them end up being called up for the game tests.

Meanwhile, CEO Schindler gets into an argument with Tadaaki Kashimura, one of his top programmers, in the basement of City Hall. Schindler stabs Kashimura fatally then use a CD data theft and leaves. In his dying moments, Kashimura dips his finger into his own blood and leaves a message for the police. He presses the letters "J", "T" and "R" on the keyboard before he sinks back dead.

When the demonstration begins, Hiroki's artificial intelligence system, Noah's Ark takes control of the game system Cocoon. When two of the parents try to get the children out, the parents get shocked by a sudden burst of electricity. Noah's Ark then warns the audience that if all fifty kids in the demonstration lose the game, it will kill the kids with a large electromagnetic burst.  
+
Among great interest from the audience, Cocoon is turned on and the children are instructed to sit into special chairs fitted with virtual reality glasses. Thomas Schindler explains that participants in Cocoon are put into a trance-like state to fully immerse themselves in the game. Suddenly, the system comes alive and a computer-generated voice explains that it is "Noah's ark" and has taken control of the program to "reset Japan". Most of the children participating in the game come from wealthy and influential families and Noah's Ark explains that it is challenging that status quo. Two parents try to get their children out of the chairs but a sudden burst of electricity shocks them as they try to open the cover of the seats. Noah's Ark further explains that it has modified the virtual games so they are more challenging and the children have to play them. If all children fail, the artificial intelligence will kill them with an [[Wikipedia: Electromagnetic pulse|electromagnetic burst (EMP)]], but they are allowed to leave if one child wins their game.

The kids in the demonstration are given a choice of five stages in the game, and Conan and the Detective Boys choose the final stage, a re-creation of an 1800 London mystery. In the beginning of the game, Conan discovers that Agasa's inventions don't work. After receiving a hint from Prof.Agasa they decide to go to Sherlock Holmes for help. As they near 221B Baker Street they meet a strange accordion playing vagrant who sings a strange song, but they shrug it off. Conan and his friends arrive at 221b Baker Street, only to find that Holmes and Watson are at Dartmoor. Mistaken for the Baker Street Irregulars by Mrs Hudson, they are invited inside. Ran finds Sherlock's investigation notes on Jack the Ripper, which implies that Jack is highly likely to have a connection to Professor Moriarty. Since finding the Professor is next to impossible, the kids decide to talk to his right hand man Colonel Moran at his favorite hang-out to find out the Professor's location. After causing a brawl and losing Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta, Conan forces the Colonel into a standoff by holding Moriarty's wine hostage. It is at this moment an elderly gentleman comes and announces that Professor Moriarty requests an audience with the group. After being led to another gentleman in a carriage, Conan calls out Moriarty for testing them; Moriarty was the gentleman who led them there. After explaining their situation, Moriarty reveals that he found and trained Jack the Ripper when Jack was a street urchin. The professor promises the children an opportunity to bring Jack down by posting a message in the next day's newspaper to kill someone, but refuses to name the victim-to-be, telling them they'd find out by reading the paper. The next day after reading the paper they realize the next victim is to be Irene Adler, the only woman Holmes ever loved.
+
The participants are told they can chose between five different virtual reality (VR) levels of the game: Vikings, [[Wikipedia: Paris-Dakar Rally|Paris-Dakar Rally]], Colosseum, [[Wikipedia: King Solomon's Treasure|Solomon's Treasure]], and Old Time London.
 +
 
 +
Conan, Ran and the Detective Boys choose level 5, a mystery set in 19th century London. The game starts and Conan discovers he can't use Agasa's inventions. Professor Agasa is able to communicate with Conan and sends him a hint which makes Conan realise that Sherlock Holmes is the "supporting character" they have to find. Near [[Wikipedia: 221B Baker Street|221 B Baker Street]] a vagrant plays the accordion and sings an odd song. The children don't pay him any attention.
 +
 
 +
Mrs. Hudson mistakes the children for the Baker Street Irregulars and invites them into 221 B Baker Street, explaining that Holmes and Watson left for Dartmoor a day earlier. Ran has a look through Holmes' notes and realises he is investigating Jack the Ripper, which, as Conan immediately figures out, means the serial killer must be connected to Professor Moriarty.
 +
 
 +
Finding the criminal mastermind is next to impossible so Conan tells everyone they will have to seek out his right-hand man Colonel Sebastian Moran. Luckily, Colonel Moran spends his afternoons at one and the same gentlemen's club so they know where to go. At the club, they end up in a brawl and Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko have to quit the game. Conan forces the colonel into a stand-off, but before he can reply, an elderly man enters the room and tells Conan that Professor Moriarty has sent for them.  
 +
 
 +
A carriage driver leads them to a carriage and tells them it will bring everyone to Moriarty. Conan exposes the driver's identity: it is nobody other than Professor Moriarty himself. Moriarty reveals that he feels responsible for Jack the Ripper's crimes. He took the boy in when he was living on the streets and Jack the Ripper learned a lot of the tricks of the trade from the master criminal. Professor Moriarty wants to play a part in bringing Jack the Ripper down and announces he will post a message to Jack in the following day's newspapers, requesting him to kill someone. He refuses to name the newest target, saying the children will figure it out once they read his message.
 +
 
 +
Moriarty keeps his promise and, reading through the message, Conan deduces that Moriarty has put a prize on the head of Irene Adler, a famous actress and, famously, the only woman Sherlock Holmes ever respected.

[[File:Jack the Ripper game.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The identity of Jack the Ripper revealed by Conan.]]
It is revealed by Yusaku that while he and Tadaaki Kashimura were both college friends and partners in developing the game, he was also employed by Kashimura as a detective to investigate the motive behind Hiroki Sawada's suicide. Yusaku also reveals Kashimura was Hiroki's real father. In the real world, Yusaku continues to reveal the truth behind the case. Yusaku reveals that the murderer is the company's president, '''Thomas Schindler'''. Schindler is revealed to also be responsible for Hiroki's suicide. Hiroki discovered the DNA of Jack's second victim on a dagger purported to have belonged to Jack himself through his DNA searching program. Schindler realized that it was only a matter of time before Hiroki would consequently discover that Jack's blood now runs through Schindler himself. Schindler then proceeded to isolate and pressure Hiroki further, ultimately leading to Hiroki's suicide. Kashimura was killed because Noah's Ark gave that same data to Kashimura. Schindler is immediately arrested.
+
At the same time, in the real world, Yusaku announces he has solved Kashimura's murder. He explains that Kashimura, his old college friend, didn't just recruit him to help with the Cocoon games, he also wanted Yusaku to investigate the sucide of Hiroki Sawada, Kashimura's son.
 +
 
 +
Kashimura was killed by '''Thomas Schindler'''. Schindler was also responsible for Hiroki's suicide. Through his research for his DNA program, Hiroki discovered the DNA of Jack the Ripper's confirmed second victim on a dagger that apparently belonged to the notorious serial killer and was now in Schindler's possession. Schindler realised it was only a matter of time before Hiroki would realise Schindler was a direct descendant of Jack the Ripper and pressured Hiroki further, leading to his suicide. He killed Kashimura because he found out Noah's Ark had sent Hiroki's research to Kashimura.
  
While protecting Irene Adler two more children are lost. Ai also loses while protecting Conan, leaving only three: Conan, Ran and another child, Hideki Moroboshi. They follow Jack the Ripper to a runaway train, where he dons a disguise and merges with the passengers. Conan correctly deduces which one of the passengers Jack is disguised through the use of Sherlock's notes. After being revealed. Jack throws a smoke bomb while Ran charges him. When the smoke clears Conan and Moroboshi find that everyone is gone. Traveling to the engine room they find that there is no driver and that the train is speeding out of control, with the brakes destroyed. Conan discovers Jack and Ran on the top of the train. There, Jack the Ripper reveals that he has tied himself to Ran and threatens Conan. Ran decides to save Conan and sacrifices herself by jumping off the train and into a ravine, taking Jack the Ripper with her. As Conan begins to lose hope, the mysterious vagrant, who is actually Sherlock Holmes, appears and gives Conan some useful advice that eventually helps Conan and Hideki survive the game. After winning the game, Conan reveals that Moroboshi is actually the deceased Hiroki Sawada (in the form of the Ark) in disguise. They chat a little and before saying goodbye to Conan, Hiroki reveals to him that he knows the detective's identity as Shinichi Kudo. After that, the Noah's Ark destroys itself. All the children, including Ran and the Detective Boys, are released from the cocoons. Yusaku then congratulates Conan for beating the game.

Schindler confesses everything and is arrested by the police.

 +
In the meantime, two more children fail level 5 while protecting Irene Adler. Ai protects Conan and fails the game as well. Out of all fifty players, only Ran, Conan and a boy named Hideki Moroboshi remain. The tree of them follow  follow Jack the Ripper to a runaway train from [[Wikipedia: Charing Cross railway station|London Charing Cross]], where he, in disguise, mixes in with the other passengers.
 +
 
 +
Conan sees through his disguise with the help of the notes taken from Holmes' office. Jack the Ripper throws a smoke bomb to escape when Ran tries to attack him. Once the smoke clears, all the passengers have disappeared. Conan and Hideki hurry to the engine room and realise the train is speeding up dangerously and someone destroyed the brakes. Jack the Ripper has taken Ran hostage and waits for Conan and Hideki on top of the train, revealing he has tied himself to Ran with a rope. Ran decides to sacrifice herself and jumps off the train, taking Jack the Ripper with her.
 +
 
 +
The train still races down the tracks and Conan starts to panic. Just then, the vagrant, actually a disguised Sherlock Holmes, appears on top of the train and gives Conan and Hideki advice that helps them to survice.
 +
 
 +
The train crashes into  [[Wikipedia: St Pancras railway station|King's Cross Railway Station]].
 +
 
 +
Conan wins the game and tells Hideki he knows he is an avatar created by Hiroki Sawada/Noah's ark. The Ark explains he actually created this game so he could play with some friends, something Hiroki never could do while he was alive. Hiroki says goodbye to Conan, but before Noah's Ark deletes itself, it announces that it actually knows Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The game ends and the children are released from Cocoon. Yusaku congratulates Conan on his win.</spoiler>

* This is the last ''Detective Conan'' movie to be made using traditional animation.

* Noah's Ark is a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos. It also shares settings with the popular sci-fi horror manga and anime franchise "Gantz" as the cocoon gaming pods are similar to the black orb that is Gantz. Gantz forces people to play against their will for their own survival in it's own sick twisted almost video-game like setting.
 +
*  It's also similar to John Kramer/Jigsaw from the Saw movies, despite this movie being released 2 years before the first Saw movie. John Kramer seeks to place his Victims in death traps which can be escaped in order to make people more appreciative of their lives, just as Noah's Ark wishes to reset Japan's youth and prevent the repetition of their parent's mistakes.

* Even though the children are unaware that the parents can hear their voices in the game, Haibara did call Conan "Kudo-kun" during her game over, and no one said anything about it at all.

Cast

Case

Situation

A TV program introduces Hiroki Sawada, a ten-year old computer prodigy. The reporter explains that Hiroki is already in graduate school at MIT. He has developed a DNA-tracker software and is now about to complete his second major project, an artificial mind called Noah's Ark. Since Hiroki's mother died, he has been looked after by Thomas Schindler, CEO of Schindler Inc., an influential software company. Schindler recognised Hiroki's enormous talent and encouraged him to develop it further, putting him under a rigorous study program with little free time or time to be a child.

Hiroki, who has been watching the program about himself, turns his TV off and goes back to his computer, putting the finishing touches on Noah's Ark. Once he is satisfied, he sends the artificial intelligence on his way and his computer shows the message "Noah's Ark sailed away", which also triggers an alarm in the building he is working in. A security guard notices the alarm and calls Thomas Schindler. Together, they try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally manage to open the door, Hiroki is nowhere to be found. Dismayed, Schindler sees Hiroki's shoes on the balcony and has to conclude the inevitable: Hiroki committed suicide by jumping off the balcony.

Suicide (Past)

Movie6 Case.jpg

Location: Schindler Building, Massachusetts, USA
Victim: Hiroki Sawada
Age: 10 years old
Time: Two years ago
Cause of death: Falling
With too much pressure on him, Hiroki decides to commit suicide since it wasn't the childhood he wanted before jumping from the top of the building.

His computer screen shows a sailing boat (Noah's Ark) on water and a message that reads: "Goodbye from Hiroki".

Two years later, Schindler Inc. presents its newest product at Beika City hall, a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many children attend the presentation, hoping they are among the lucky ones who are allowed to test Cocoon for the first time. To be included among the first players, the children have to obtain a special badge that was quite expensive. Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Haibara, and Mitsuhiko watch the crowd sadly, realising none of them could afford to pay for it, when Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo join them. Agasa hands Conan a badge and says it was paid for for his parents and that his mother Yukiko could not join them because she has a class reunion.

The other Detective Boys trade Golden Kamen Yaiba Cards with some other children in exchange for a Cocoon badge. So, all five of them end up being called up for the game tests.

Meanwhile, CEO Schindler gets into an argument with Tadaaki Kashimura, one of his top programmers, in the basement of City Hall. Schindler stabs Kashimura fatally then use a CD data theft and leaves. In his dying moments, Kashimura dips his finger into his own blood and leaves a message for the police. He presses the letters "J", "T" and "R" on the keyboard before he sinks back dead.

Murder

Movie6 Case1.jpg

Location: Beika City Hall - Basement (Program control room)
Victim: Tadaaki Kashimura
Age: 39 years old
Cause of death: Stab wound in heart
Culprit: Thomas Schindler
Kashimura presses the "J","T" & "R" keyboard keys with a bloody finger, leaving a dying message.

Conan finds the body and decides to actually join the Cocoon test as well, recognising that there might be a clue to the murderer's identity in the game. Yusaku, who was consulted by Kashimura when they developed the game, realises "JTR" has to mean "Jack the Ripper".

Murders (Past)

Vlcsnap-2014-01-09-18h55m41s74.jpg

Location: Whitechapel district, London
Victims: Emma Elizabeth Smith (Incertae), Martha Tabram, Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Jane Kelly, Rose Mylett (Incertae), Alice McKenzie, Unidentified Woman (Incertae) and Frances Coles
Age: 45 years old, 39 years old, 43 years old, 47 years old, 44 years old, 46 years old, 25 years old, 29 years old, 40 years old, 30-40 years old, and 25 years old
Cause of death: Stab wounds, Slash wounds, and throat slits
Culprit: Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper was a well known serial killer in London who killed at least seven people in Whitechapel district. He was never identified.

Among great interest from the audience, Cocoon is turned on and the children are instructed to sit into special chairs fitted with virtual reality glasses. Thomas Schindler explains that participants in Cocoon are put into a trance-like state to fully immerse themselves in the game. Suddenly, the system comes alive and a computer-generated voice explains that it is "Noah's ark" and has taken control of the program to "reset Japan". Most of the children participating in the game come from wealthy and influential families and Noah's Ark explains that it is challenging that status quo. Two parents try to get their children out of the chairs but a sudden burst of electricity shocks them as they try to open the cover of the seats. Noah's Ark further explains that it has modified the virtual games so they are more challenging and the children have to play them. If all children fail, the artificial intelligence will kill them with an electromagnetic burst (EMP), but they are allowed to leave if one child wins their game.

Hostage taking

Vlcsnap-2013-10-23-21h16m47s68.png

Location: Beika City Hall
Victims: The fifty kids participating in the Cocoon demonstration
Age: 5-17 years old
Weapon: Locking into the Cocoons
Culprit: Noah's Ark Artificial Intelligence
The children are locked into the Cocoons and the adults are threatened so that they cannot open them. The children must play the virtual reality games which have been modified so they are more difficult. Noah's Ark will kill all fifty kids with an electromagnetic burst (shock waves) if all of them fail, but as long as one child wins their respective game, everyone will be freed.

The participants are told they can chose between five different virtual reality (VR) levels of the game: Vikings, Paris-Dakar Rally, Colosseum, Solomon's Treasure, and Old Time London.

Conan, Ran and the Detective Boys choose level 5, a mystery set in 19th century London. The game starts and Conan discovers he can't use Agasa's inventions. Professor Agasa is able to communicate with Conan and sends him a hint which makes Conan realise that Sherlock Holmes is the "supporting character" they have to find. Near 221 B Baker Street a vagrant plays the accordion and sings an odd song. The children don't pay him any attention.

Mrs. Hudson mistakes the children for the Baker Street Irregulars and invites them into 221 B Baker Street, explaining that Holmes and Watson left for Dartmoor a day earlier. Ran has a look through Holmes' notes and realises he is investigating Jack the Ripper, which, as Conan immediately figures out, means the serial killer must be connected to Professor Moriarty.

Finding the criminal mastermind is next to impossible so Conan tells everyone they will have to seek out his right-hand man Colonel Sebastian Moran. Luckily, Colonel Moran spends his afternoons at one and the same gentlemen's club so they know where to go. At the club, they end up in a brawl and Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko have to quit the game. Conan forces the colonel into a stand-off, but before he can reply, an elderly man enters the room and tells Conan that Professor Moriarty has sent for them.

A carriage driver leads them to a carriage and tells them it will bring everyone to Moriarty. Conan exposes the driver's identity: it is nobody other than Professor Moriarty himself. Moriarty reveals that he feels responsible for Jack the Ripper's crimes. He took the boy in when he was living on the streets and Jack the Ripper learned a lot of the tricks of the trade from the master criminal. Professor Moriarty wants to play a part in bringing Jack the Ripper down and announces he will post a message to Jack in the following day's newspapers, requesting him to kill someone. He refuses to name the newest target, saying the children will figure it out once they read his message.

Moriarty keeps his promise and, reading through the message, Conan deduces that Moriarty has put a prize on the head of Irene Adler, a famous actress and, famously, the only woman Sherlock Holmes ever respected.

Attempted Murder (Virtual Reality)

    • This movie is notable for having a screenplay written by a famous Japanese screenwriter and mystery novelist Hisashi Nozawa. Kazunari Kochi had written all previous movies and most of the later movies up until Dimensional Sniper.
    • This is the final movie to be dubbed in english by Funimation Entertainment. Dubbing of the movies was reprised in 2019 by Bangzoom!, starting with Zero the Enforcer.
    • Thomas Schindler's limousine is a silver Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
    • Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa's limousine is dark blue Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
    • The date in London is declared to be September 30, 1888 which is a Sunday, yet Moriarty says that the following day is to be Sunday.
    • Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are said to be away on business at Dartmoor in reference to The Hound of the Baskervilles case, however this case did not take place until a year later in 1889.
    • Noah's Ark is a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos. It also shares settings with the popular sci-fi horror manga and anime franchise "Gantz" as the cocoon gaming pods are similar to the black orb that is Gantz. Gantz forces people to play against their will for their own survival in it's own sick twisted almost video-game like setting.
    • It's also similar to John Kramer/Jigsaw from the Saw movies, despite this movie being released 2 years before the first Saw movie. John Kramer seeks to place his Victims in death traps which can be escaped in order to make people more appreciative of their lives, just as Noah's Ark wishes to reset Japan's youth and prevent the repetition of their parent's mistakes.
    • Conan plays Pac-Man in the last scene.
    • The gun picked up by Genta at Sherlock Holmes' house is a Tranter 54-bore self-cocking revolver.
    • Even though the children are unaware that the parents can hear their voices in the game, Haibara did call Conan "Kudo-kun" during her game over, and no one said anything about it at all.
