Manga to anime changes
- The anime adds some flashback scenes:
- Momiji Ooka's Challenge: Heiji mentioned about Haneda family and Conan's thought about Haneda family is wealthy.
- Taiko Meijin's Match of Love: the match between Chikara and Shukichi, and Shukichi telling Yumi about the match.
- In Episode 1035, there are some flashback scenes from Episode 1034, when Takagi and Sato are questioning the suspects.
- The scene when the group is searching for Genda is longer in the anime, thus some dialougue are added.
- In the manga, after Shukichi was saved, Akai directly called Camel, while Shukichi was talking to Conan. In the anime, while Conan and Shukichi are talking to each other, Akai is seen tying the culprit, and calls Camel after Shukichi and Conan finished talking.
- The anime removes Mary and Yumi background appearances when Shukichi mentions that Mary refused to meet Yumi.
Trivia
- Star Donut logo is a reference to manga series Urusei Yatsura by Rumiko Takahashi, in which both logo has the kanji 星 with a star in it[citation needed].
