'''{{font color|blue|Gosho Aoyama Interview}}''' <br>
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|I was the one who said from the very beginning that it should be a showdown between these two}}'''
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|—— In the second theatrical film, “The Million-dollar Pentagram,” Kaito Kid and Hattori Heiji take center stage. Could you tell us how it came about that the two of them would serve as co-leads?}}'''<br>
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Neither of them had appeared in a while, so I felt the timing was perfect. In the original manga, there’s a bit of interaction between them, and there’s also that setup where Heiji harbors a grudge (※1). I thought that might make for an interesting dynamic, and that’s essentially how it started.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Both Kid and Heiji are hugely popular characters who can easily carry a film on their own. Was it decided from the beginning that they would headline it together?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Yes—I was the one who said from the start that it should be a showdown between the two of them. I figured it would make things even more exciting (laughs).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Could you tell us how it was decided that this film would be set in Hakodate, Hokkaido?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' A showdown is great, of course—but with these characters, the romantic comedy elements naturally come into play as well. And when you think about that, you start wanting a truly stunning backdrop. So I said, “We need a spectacular view.” That led to the idea of using the famous million-dollar night view, and that’s how we settled on Hakodate in Hokkaido.<br>
 +
From there, it snowballed—“Well, Goryokaku is there, so we could incorporate that… and maybe bring in Hijikata, too…”—and that’s how everything gradually fell into place.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Have you ever been to Hokkaido or Hakodate, Aoyama Sensei?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' I’ve never actually been to Hakodate. As for Hokkaido, I went about four years ago to visit Shimamoto Sensei (※2), and that’s when I went to Sapporo.<br>
 +
And quite a long time ago, I also went skiing there with my assistants—if I remember correctly, it was at Hoshino Resort Tomamu (※3).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Was there any Hokkaido cuisine that you particularly liked?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' There’s a curry place called “Indian” (※4) that was really good. And of course, the jingisukan there is delicious as well.
 +
Last year, I tried salted jingisukan for the first time—Adachi Sensei (※5) had recommended it—and it was unbelievably good
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What were your impressions when you read the screenplay for “The Million-dollar Pentagram”?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' The idea was to create a kind of treasure hunt we hadn’t really done before, so I was glad it actually turned out to be a proper treasure-hunting story!<br>
 +
The reason we went with a treasure hunt in the first place was that, in our stories, someone usually ends up dying—so I thought, for once, it might be nice to have a case where no one dies. But in the end… well, people die as usual (laughs). I suppose that part just can’t be helped.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——This marks Okura Takahiro-san’s fourth time writing a screenplay for the theatrical series. Did you make any specific requests regarding the script?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' I think I did say that I wanted it to be a treasure hunt. And in the script Okura-san sent me, there was a note that simply said, “Heiji’s romantic-comedy scene goes here.” I was like, “Wait—what!?” (laughs). So I ended up coming up with that entire part myself, right from scratch. There was even something written along the lines of, “Sensei, please help!” (laughs).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——How did it come about that you decided to feature the real historical figure Hijikata Toshizo?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  Since the setting was Goryokaku, I thought Hijikata Toshizo would be a natural fit. And bringing in the Shinsengumi felt like it would really heighten the excitement. That said, I did have one concern. Hokkaido, a treasure hunt, Hijikata… I caught myself thinking, “Wait a second—haven’t we heard this somewhere before?” It felt very similar to Golden Kamuy (※6), so I wondered whether that might be a problem. But what’s being sought is completely different, and in our case, it’s not Hijikata himself going on a treasure hunt—we’re simply searching for something connected to him—so I figured it would be fine.<br>
 +
Now that I think about it, this might be the first time a real historical figure has appeared in a Conan film. Still, I didn’t feel all that much pressure (laughs). I did an enormous amount of research, though. Since Hijikata has lines that reference Tennen Rishin-ryu (※7), I looked extensively into its teachings and principles. Some of it I already knew, but I made sure to incorporate that knowledge carefully into his dialogue. It was a lot of work.
 +
 +
 +
<br>

'''Page: 34'''<br>

 +
'''{{font color|blue|I drew quite a lot this time.<br>In total, I worked on 29 key animation cuts—across 12 different scenes.}}'''<br>
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Every year, fans look forward to the key animation cuts you personally draw, Aoyama Sensei. Which characters did you work on this time, and roughly how many drawings did you create?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' There are a few characters I can’t mention because it would be a spoiler—but aside from them, I drew Heiji, Kazuha, Ran, Shinichi, Conan, Kawazoe, and Kid.<br>
 +
I ended up drawing quite a lot this time. In total, I did 29 key animation cuts, including some that were more movement-focused sequences. Altogether, that came to 12 different scenes. Since I was drawing the characters appearing in those scenes, the number naturally added up.<br>
 +
This might actually be the film where I drew the most key animation so far.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——That’s something to look forward to. What about the storyboards? In the previous film, “Black Iron Submarine,” you drew the scene where Conan-kun and Haibara slowly rise up from beneath the sea.}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  This time, I worked a bit on the part just before the ending credits, and also on the scene at the beginning where Kazuha first meets Hijiri-kun.<br>
 +
I’d say the overall amount is about the same as the previous film. Though… I didn’t draw anything quite as long as that underwater scene this time.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Which characters did you personally handle for the character designs?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Hijikata Toshizo (featured on page 25), Kawazoe, Kadokura, and Seikun. I actually drew Seikun first. I gave him a face that’s almost like a main protagonist’s—something that would work even if he were the lead. After all, he’s supposed to be very popular with the girls (laughs).<br>
 +
I didn’t draw his father, Ryoe, but I did say, “At least make them resemble each other a bit.” In the end, their eyebrows turned out quite similar.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Regarding the teaser poster for this film (also used as the cover of this book), was there anything in particular you paid close attention to while drawing it?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' First of all, I knew the focal point should be Heiji and Kazuha. The tricky part was deciding how large to make them.
 +
In The Fist of Blue Sapphire, Sonoko and Kyogoku were placed in the center, but they were drawn relatively small. This time, I wanted the central pair to stand out more than that. After that, I added Conan and Kid around them to balance the composition.
 +
And since we were setting it in Hakodate, I definitely wanted to include Goryokaku as well. Later, when I saw the official theatrical poster (on the inside cover of this book), it featured a sword. I remember thinking, “Ah, I should’ve gone with a sword too!” (laughs).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Following The Fist of Blue Sapphire (Film 23) and The Scarlet Bullet (Film 24), Tomoka Nagaoka is serving as director for the third time with this film. What kind of discussions did you have with Director Nagaoka?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' She would send over the storyboards for me to review. I’d respond with my notes via LINE, and if something couldn’t quite be conveyed over messages, we’d talk it through directly over the phone and make decisions that way.<br>
 +
We had particularly detailed exchanges about how Hijikata’s lines should come in during the scene where he confronts his attackers, as well as around Heiji’s romantic-comedy moment near the end.<br>
 +
Also, the storyboard for the post-ending sequence was really impressive. I wrote back, “This is insanely cool!!!” and sent it off—only for the director to reply, “I drew that part myself!” (laughs).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Regarding Kaito Kid, one of the main characters of this film—what do you see as his appeal this time, and what do you pay attention to when writing or drawing him?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  When he’s around Conan or Heiji, he speaks like a regular high schooler—basically just as Kaito. But in front of Ran or ordinary people, he switches to a slightly more gentlemanly tone. That’s probably the main thing I’m careful about.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——And what about Kid’s true identity—Kuroba Kaito?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  Like Conan, he has a dual nature. I think what makes him compelling is that he carries two faces: his true identity and his life as an ordinary high school student. Kaito also has a clear goal. He’s after the jewel Pandora—the same gem sought by the people who killed his father. His purpose is to destroy it before they can obtain it.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——And what about Kaito’s father—the original Kaito Kid, Kuroba Toichi?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  He’s a tricky character to handle, but I make sure to portray him as really cool. In fact, I draw him with something of an Arsène Lupin vibe (※8).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Let’s talk about the other main character, Hattori Heiji. What stands out about him in this film, and what do you keep in mind when portraying him?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Unlike Shinichi, he’s endlessly cheerful. He’s got all the best traits of an Osaka guy rolled into one, you could say.
 +
Some people might find his boldness—his tendency to push right into someone’s space a bit overwhelming—but I think that kind of assertiveness is cool, so that’s how I like to portray him (laughs).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What about Toyama Kazuha, Heiji’s childhood friend? Is there anything you’re especially mindful of when portraying her?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' The one thing that absolutely never wavers is that she loves Heiji. No matter how cool another guy might be, Heiji is always number one for her—that’s something that will never change. And… she’s pretty dense (laughs). Though the same could be said for Heiji. They’re both a bit oblivious.<br>
 +
Well, most of the characters I write tend to be pretty slow when it comes to romance. I think that’s part of what makes it fun.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Inspector Nishimura of the Hokkaido Police (※9) appears in this film. What are your thoughts on him as a character?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' He might actually be the very first “wild” character I ever drew. You don’t usually see a detective like that.
 +
Nowadays, there are characters like Yamato Kansuke (※10) and Yokomizo Jugo (※11), but Nishimura came before them—he was my original tough-looking detective.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What about Ooka Momiji from Kyoto?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' This time, Momiji and her group play more of a comic-relief role, but at her core, she’s completely devoted. She’s single-mindedly in love with Heiji. And Iori is always right there supporting her.<br>
 +
Someday, I’d like to have her face off against Sonoko. Momiji is basically the “Sonoko of the West”—at least in terms of financial power (laughs). As for her design, I gave her a broader forehead, and to give her another distinguishing feature, I made sure to give her a large bust.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——When Momiji links arms with Heiji, he gets flustered because her chest presses against him.}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Well, Heiji reacted the same way when Kid—disguised as Kazuha—linked arms with him. Even though those were fake, padded breasts (laughs).<br>
 +
When Kid disguises himself as (Nakamori) Aoko, he pads his chest too. Aoko is actually quite flat-chested, but he does it to avoid being disrespectful. Though honestly, I’m not sure which would be more disrespectful (laughs).
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What about Iori Muga, who serves Momiji?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  Okita is basically Heiji. If anything, he might be a bit more of an idiot than Heiji (laughs). He doesn’t have Heiji’s level of deductive ability, but when it comes to kendo, he’s absolutely strong.
 +
 +
In terms of backstory, he’s set up as the sixth-generation successor of the historical Okita Soshiof the Shinsengumi. Even though I’m well aware that the real Okita likely didn’t have children or direct descendants, I went with that setting anyway. Perhaps there’s some distant relative somewhere, with a shared bloodline.
 +
 +
In fact, I’ve included a small hint of that connection in this film—so please look forward to it.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What about Okita Soshi, who makes his first appearance in a Conan film?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  Okita is basically Heiji. If anything, he might be a bit more of an idiot than Heiji (laughs). He doesn’t have Heiji’s level of deductive ability, but when it comes to kendo, he’s absolutely strong.
 +
In terms of backstory, he’s set up as the sixth-generation successor of the historical Okita Soshi of the Shinsengumi. Even though I’m well aware that the real Okita likely didn’t have children or direct descendants, I went with that setting anyway. Perhaps there’s some distant relative somewhere, with a shared bloodline.
 +
In fact, I’ve included a small hint of that connection in this film—so please look forward to it.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Kaito Kid was originally the protagonist of Magic Kaito. And from YAIBA (※12), characters like Okita Soshi, Namako-Otoko, and Onimaru have appeared in Detective Conan. How do you feel about crossing over characters from your own works?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' First of all, it’s just fun. In the Galaxy Express 999 movie, characters like Captain Harlock and Emeraldas show up, right? (※13). I thought that was really cool, and it made me want to try something like that myself.<br>
 +
They’re not exactly the same as the “original” Harlock or Emeraldas—there are slight differences—but I think that’s part of the appeal too.
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Page: 35''' <br>
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What inspired you to turn Namako-Otoko into a cellphone strap mascot?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  I couldn’t think of a cute mascot character that would suit Ran-chan, so I figured, “Ah, Namako-Otoko will do” (laughs). I also thought fans of YAIBA might get a kick out of it.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——The Koshien championship game from 4th Base Third taking place in the background of a Conan case (※14) is another crossover moment fans won’t want to miss.}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:'''  Thank you. That’s a collaboration too, in a way. I honestly have a blast drawing those.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Looking ahead, is there any chance we might see someone like Phantom Lady (※15) appear in Conan?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Hmm… who knows? (laughs) Koizumi Akako (※16) definitely won’t appear. She’s a witch, after all, and that would completely break the world-building. So she’s out. But Phantom Lady? Maybe she could at least be mentioned in passing at some point…? I can’t say for sure, though.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Detective Conan manga. Over these three decades, what has made you happiest in relation to Conan?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' The film adaptation, without a doubt. When the first movie, The Time-Bombed Skyscraper, was made, I honestly thought it would be a one-time thing—that there would never be another. So I gave it everything I had.<br>
 +
I originally wanted to become an animator, so when it was turned into a movie, it truly felt like a dream come true.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——What were your impressions after seeing the Conan Exhibition (※17) held to commemorate the manga’s 30th anniversary?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Well, after 30 years, you really notice how different my drawings used to look. There were moments when I thought, “Hmm, this part isn’t quite the same as now,” and even times when I felt, “Actually, the older version was better.” On the other hand, I also spotted areas where I thought, “I still had a long way to go back then.”<br>
 +
30 years is a long time, so it naturally stirred up a lot of emotions. At each stage, there were certain artistic trends that influenced me—periods when I drew hair with very fine detail, and other times when I kept it more loose and rough. Looking back, those shifts over time are fascinating in their own way.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|The film adaptation made me the happiest. I truly thought it might never happen again, so I gave it everything I had.}}'''
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——How do you personally feel about your recent artwork, Aoyama Sensei?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' I don’t think it’s changed all that much over the past 15 years or so. If there’s something relatively recent, it would be when I drew wings in Chihaya’s (※18) debut scene. That was a bit of an experiment for me.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——The previous film, Black Iron Submarine, surpassed the 10-billion-yen milestone at the box office and went on to exceed 13.8 billion yen—the highest gross in the series’ history. What were your thoughts on that incredible success?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' I was honestly surprised. And, of course, genuinely happy. It made me realize that when something really takes off, it can go far beyond expectations. Haibara’s popularity is truly remarkable.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——From your perspective, Aoyama Sensei, what are the key highlights of “The Million-dollar Pentagram”? What should audiences pay special attention to?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' It’s already hinted at on the teaser poster (※19), but in this film, a secret about Kid that no one has known until now will finally be revealed. At our very first planning meeting—with the staff, the director, and Okura-san, who wrote the script—I said, “Kid is actually like this, so let’s go ahead and reveal it!” Everyone responded with, “Wait—are you sure that’s okay?” (laughs). But there aren’t many chances to address something like that, so I thought a theatrical film would be the perfect place to do it.
 +
Another major highlight is the climactic scene right before the ending theme. The romantic-comedy moment between Heiji and Kazuha is definitely something to watch for.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{font color|blue|——Finally, could you share a message with the fans who love Detective Conan?}}'''<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Thank you for these past 30 years. No, really—thank you so much. And I hope you’ll continue to support us from here on out as well.<br>
 +
As for “The Million-dollar Pentagram,” many characters from across my various manga works come together in this film, so I hope you’ll fully enjoy the world of Gosho Aoyama.<br>
 +
In the original manga, a major incident is planned to take place in Osaka (laughs). And a key figure who has remained shrouded in mystery until now will finally appear. It’ll probably happen sometime in the summer or fall—so please look forward to it!
 +
