Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Nenji Norimura. He is the only one who could've done that since the culprit was a ranked swordsman who delibreately put the skirt backwards to make people think it was someone who didn't know kendo and it matched Norimura's description. As Heiji explains his deduction, Kazuha and the Osaka school's team try to find Heiji so she tries to call Ran so they can return before the match begins so Ran skips the call. Norimura then tries to explain he didn't have a box cutter himself so Heiji explains him it wasn't about a box cutter but rather that the "cutter" was bloody and useless and to bring him another one to which the blind Yasuoka confirm. In fact, the word "cutter" was in Kansai Dialect and it meant a dress shirt so Nukitani was talking to his wife on the phone and asking her to bring him another dress shirt since his' was bloody because, in a previous match where Okita was playing, his opponent pushed Nukitani so his nose bled. Her wife is currently on her way to bring him the shirt. Even if his shirt hadn't had blood on it, Norimura had planned to spill red ink on his shirt to make him come and lurk him to kill him. The weapon was in fact his bamboo sword in which he used to make a sharp weapon by taking a single piece of bamboo and sharpened it and then swung it horizontally so the centrifugal force could cut someone's throat. The sound people heard in the bathroom was in fact Norimura dulling the tip against the wall which meant that the proof (blood) will be easily found stuck in the inside of his sword bag. He then confesses and says he tried to wash it in the bathroom. Heiji laughs at Conan since Heiji was the one who solved it. Norimura used a bamboo sword because he wanted to use his son's sword to avenge him.

Suicide (Past)

Location: Norimura's House

Victim: Nenji Norimura's Son

Age: Unknown

Time: 2 years ago

Cause of death: Hanging

After winning a match 2 years ago, Norimura's son struck a victory pose which is illegal so he was punished and lost the match which was refered by Nukitani. With a strong sense of justice, he decided to commit suicide out of guilt.

He first thought that his suicide was not anything to have a grudge against the referee, Nukitani, but, In the tournament, he saw that Nukitani ignored the victory pose done by a student of Tohto Senshin High School. He vene went to discuss with him and showed favoritism since they were both from Kansai which made him want to kill Nukitani. Okita then explains that the student was in fact brandishing a good luck charm that he gave him for the match and that it stuck out of his shirt. Nukitani then asked him to show him the charm and the student showed it which could look like a victory pose but it was in fact wrong. the student then cried so Nukitani comforted him and told him not to cry. Norimura then doesn't understand his mistake and runs towards Okita and Heiji to attack them but he is knocked out by Ran's karate kick before Heiji and Okita could move. Ran then quickly trails them and brings them to the tournament leaving Sato and Takagi perplexed.

Location: Kendo Ring Tournament in Tokyo

Victim: Heiji Hattori, Soshi Okita and Conan Edogawa

Age: 7 years old (Conan) & 17 years old (Heiji and Okita)

Norimura, on a fit of rage, tries to attack the group but is stopped by Ran who knocks him out with a kick.

Aftermath

They arrive after running and Kazuha cries to them since the match just ended and they lost by default making Namakoshi victorious. Momiji, then bothered by this humiliation, asks Iori to bring them so they'll leave. Okita blames Heiji for taking his time making a sweet deduction and Heiji blames Okita for his stupid Zatoichi deduction. Kazuha then gets upset and says she's had enough of detectives. Conan laughs and quotes that it's an awful way to live.
