As it turns out, '''Ken Kito''' had facelift surgery five years ago and became '''Koji Tanaka''' since then. Tanaka intends to kill Taro Yamada by pushing him into the river so as to make the corpse impossible to find. Just as when Tanaka is trying to silence the Detective Boys, the police Conan calls for arrive just in time and subdue the man. Obviously, the Detective Boys get scolded by Megure for that reckless action, and they would never learn from that.

    Trivia

    • In the TV broadcast, a special Next Conan Hint and End Card are shown. The hint is TWILIGHT!!! (with King Gnu's logo now fully shown), and the end card shows members of King Gnu, Conan, and Kogoro. It promotes the band performing One-eyed Flashback theme song on Yomiuri TV's Best Hits Kayosai 2025, which featured an anime version performance with Gosho Aoyama supervising the character design.
    • The names of the other wanted criminals on posters are completely made up and read as sentences relating to crime :
      • Jin Kanenashi (金梨 陳) sounds similar to "person without money" (moneyless reads as "kanenashi" (金無し) and person is read "hito" or "jin" (人)) ;
      • Sachio Yada (矢田 詐為男) sounds similar to "convicted fraudster" ("詐為" is a shortened version of "sagizai", meaning fraud, "男" (otoko) means man and the last name "Yada" or "Yata" (矢田) sounds similar to "yatta" (やった) meaning "I did it") ;
      • Eijiro Dorobo (盗矛 影次郎) sounds similar to "shady robber" ("盗" means to steal and can read as "dō" while "矛" reads as "bō", sounding phonetically similar to "dorobō" (泥棒) meaning "thief" and "影" in the first name means "shadow/shade") ;
      • Kasuhito Haneji (羽地 粕人) sounds similar to "punished lender" (the last name Haneji (羽地) can also read as "bachi", which also means "punishment" (罰) while "kasu" (粕) also means "to lend" (貸す) and "人" means person).
