小坂：物語にある数多くの伏線は先に考えてますか？
剛昌：ほぼだいたい考えてます(笑)。

＼ #剛昌に聞け② ／
小坂：ジンとウォッカは裏でどんな会話をしていたりしますか？　組織っぽい会話ばかりなのでしょうか。
剛昌：なんかしらんけど ジャズの話とかしてそう。「あのジャズバーは良かったぜ」とか(笑)。

＼ #剛昌に聞け③ ／
小坂：降谷さんや赤井さん、阿笠博士が乗っている車はどのように選んだんですか？
剛昌：降谷はアムロなので、ガンダムのRX-7にしました！　赤井のマスタングは、キャンティのバイパーに負けないスピードを出せる車ってことで決めました。阿笠博士は、かわいいビートルが似合うかなと思って決めました(笑)。

＼ #剛昌に聞け④ ／
小坂：もし少年探偵団のメンバーが大人になったらどんな職業についていると思いますか？
剛昌：光彦は両親が先生なので、先生かも。元太は親父の酒屋を継いでるんじゃ…
歩美ちゃんはがんばって日向坂に入ってるんじゃないかな(笑)。

小坂：赤井さんのスナイパー能力は生まれながらの才能ですか？

剛昌：…と思わせつつ、陰でわりと努力してます(笑)。

Kosaka: Do you plan out the many foreshadowing elements in the story ahead of time?
Aoyama: I more or less think about them in advance (Laughs).

⸻

＼ #剛昌に聞け② ／

Kosaka: What kind of conversations do Gin and Vodka have behind the scenes? Are they always talking about organization stuff?
Aoyama: I don’t really know, but I imagine they talk about jazz or something. Like, “That jazz bar was great,” or something (Laughs).

Kosaka: How did you choose the cars driven by Furuya, Akai, and Professor Agasa?
Aoyama: Since Furuya is “Amuro,” I gave him the Gundam RX-7! As for Akai’s Mustang, I chose it because it’s a car that can match Chianti’s Viper in terms of speed. For Professor Agasa, I thought a cute Beetle would suit him well, so I went with that (Laughs).

＼ #剛昌に聞け④ ／

Kosaka: What do you think the Detective Boys would be doing for work if they grew up?
Aoyama: Mitsuhiko might become a teacher, since his parents are teachers. Genta would probably take over his dad’s liquor store… As for Ayumi-chan, maybe she’d work really hard and get into Hinatazaka (idol group) (Laughs).

⸻

＼ #剛昌に聞け⑤ ／

Kosaka: Is Akai’s sniper skill a natural-born talent?
Aoyama: …He may seem like it, but he’s actually been putting in quite a bit of effort behind the scenes (Laughs).

Key points from the video

On April 30, 2023, Gosho Aoyama appeared in a special segment on Nippon TV’s Shu-ichi, where hosts visited his atelier and interviewed him about Detective Conan and the then-current film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine. During the segment, Aoyama referred to “that underwater scene at the end of the film” as another romantic-comedy moment. The hosts also commented on how closely he supervises the films and how extensively he communicated with the director of Movie 26, while Aoyama explained that he gives feedback whenever he feels a character is saying something they would not normally say or that feels out of character.

Aoyama also spoke about the origins of Detective Conan, explaining that the series began after the end of Yaiba, when he was asked to create a detective manga and drew inspiration from Sherlock Holmes. He further noted that Kaito Kid was incorporated into Conan by reviving the thief-like rival character he had originally created in Magic Kaito. When discussing the length of the series, Aoyama appeared surprised when told that 29 years had passed since the start of Detective Conan, before noting that the following year would mark its 30th anniversary. He also remarked that there were virtually no unused tricks left, and that devising convincing motives for culprits had become even more difficult than creating the tricks themselves.

In addition, Aoyama commented on Professor Agasa’s inventions, noting that some ideas he once treated as fantasy had later become closer to real-world technology. Near the end of the segment, he teased future story developments by revealing that Amuro would come into contact with an important person.

The feature also included announcer Erika Tokushima, a well-known Conan fan, who was surprised to learn that Aoyama had drawn her into the manga.
