Case

Part 1

Conan, Ran, Kazuha, and Heiji are on their way to Mount Washio to see the beautiful scenery, with Kogoro tagging along because he is worried about his daughter going on a trip far away (of course, it is definitely not because of the worry Kazuha mentioned). The reason Ran chose this location was because even if Momiji ever wanted to interfere, she would have to climb the mountain to exhaustion like the poor Kogoro, although Momiji mentioned that she had a Karuta tournament in Tokyo but we all know that it was an excuse for her and Iori to go on that Shinkansen. It suddenly starts to rain, forcing the group of five to run to find shelter nearby, and Kogoro happens to see a shrine there.

There, the chief priest Tetsushin happily lets everyone in and asks the two monks, Kentetsu and Tontetsu, to welcome the guests. While Kazuha expresses her regret that the rain interrupts her wish to see the sunset on the mountain, Kentetsu says that the rain will stop by this afternoon. He also adds that the sunset here is also a very famous place, not just Mount Washio, which Kazuha confirms to be true through her tablet. She then suddenly asks Ran about what she is going to say after that dream-like situation happens, to which Ran reveals to Kazuha that she is dating Shinichi, much to Kazuha's delight because she hasn’t heard from the two for a while and worried that something unfortunate had happened.

Kogoro and Heiji suddenly come in without their clothes as they were drenched in the rain all the time before reaching the shrine. Then Tontetsu comes in with their clothes as well, but not with Heiji’s amulet as it disappeared without the monk’s noticing. The other two happen to be passing by and notice the incident, but have no idea where it was as well. Conan suggests asking someone else in the shrine, thinking that there is someone else in the shrine, much to the surprise of the three as to how Conan knew about this. The boy explains that when they borrowed the towel to dry themselves, Conan saw four sets of toothbrushes and toothbrush cups, while in the shrine they had seen three people so far.

The chief priest explains that the other person was a monk who had disappeared 5 days ago after being punished to go to the confessional for smoking. Kentetsu adds in: At the same time that he disappeared, there were a few will-o'-the-wisps going up to the stair leading to that confessional, and that the monk was believed to be captured by the crimson skeleton. The chief priest tells them about the crimson skeleton, a monster that appeared with the said will-o'-the-wisps to devour the souls of wrongdoers and leave behind the empty corpse of the victims.

People

  • Resolution

    Manga to anime changes

    • Some scenes added by the anime:
    • Ran saying that they just took a break and will leave Kogoro behind
    • More scenes of Conan blushing when Ran tells Kazuha about her dating with Shinichi
    • Tetsushin asking if someone lose something
    • Heiji wondering if Kogoro ate some weird mushrooms and upset his stomach (refering to the incident in A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies)
    • Ran calling Conan after he found a wood shaving
    • In the scene where Heiji tries to scare Kazuha about "when the time comes", the anime add an imaginary wolf ear on Heiji.
    • In manga, Kogoro found the temple by himself. In anime, Conan is the one who pointed it out first.
    • Kentetsu's explanation about the sunset view is expanded compared to manga version. His line about relaxing until evening is also anime addition.

    Trivia

    • Mount Washio (鷲尾山 Washio-san?) is a direct reference to Mount Takao (高尾山 Takao-san?), a mountain in the Tokyo region and popular among tourists and locals to view Mount Fuji on the other side.
      • The mountain temple Shōgaku-ji (昇楽寺 Shōgaku-ji?) is a pun to the name of Conan's publisher, Shōgakukan (小学館), in the same fashion as the temple with the same name but different kanji (昇岳寺 in the previous case instead of 昇楽寺) from files 559-561[1]. The temple itself does not follow the design of the actual temple on Mount Takao, the Takaosan Yakuō-in (高尾山薬王院), which contains the similar looking kanji "薬". Instead, it follows the design of the Zōjō-ji (増上寺), famous temple in Tokyo. In particular, it is a replica of the Ankoku-den (安国殿), a secondary hall of the temple, which also has its famous relic, a statue of a standing Amida Nyōrai (an iteration of Buddha)[2].
      • The chastisement room has the same proportions as the storage room in Sandei Temple (山泥寺 Sandei-ji?) from files 108-110[N 1].
    • The names of the monks are related to iron ( tetsu?) and monsters (妖怪 yōkai?)[3] :
      • Tetsushin (哲進) comes from iron and shen ( shin?), a shapeshifting clam monster ;
      • Kentetsu (賢哲) comes from iron and Xingtian (刑天 keiten?), a headless monster ;
      • Tontetsu (頓哲) comes from iron and Taotie (饕餮 tōtetsu?), a monster in Chinese mythology ;
      • Kantetsu (勘哲) comes from iron ;
      • Additionally, Jun Murata (村田 潤) comes from Jun Murata (same kanji), a real-life director for NHK who collaborated with Gosho Aoyama in a 2024 documentary film.

    Notes

    1. ^ In a similar fashion, Sandei-ji is named after Shōnen Sunday (週刊少年サンデー Shōnen Sandē?), the magazine in which Detective Conan is published before being released in volumes.
