Contents

Season 1 - Episodes 1-28

Roller Coaster Murder Case (Episode 1)/The Heisei Holmes (Chapter 1)

  • The first episode of the anime includes the Detective Boys who don't appear until many chapters later in the manga.
  • Hiroshi Agasa and Kogoro Mouri also appear in this episode, whereas in the manga they make their debut in the Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case.
  • The mansion owner kills his wife in the manga. In the anime the owner kills his friend, Yamazaki.
  • In the manga, when Ran is trying to kick Shinichi, he leaps out of the way rather than his face ending up under her skirt.
  • In the manga, Reiko points out that Gin and Vodka could have committed the murder as they were behind the victim. Shinichi acknowledges that they look suspicious, but if they pulled off the murder, they would have anticipated the arrival of the police (which they don't as they are in a hurry to pull off their transaction).
  • Shinichi uses a camera when spying on Vodka, whereas in the anime, he simply just listens to the deal going on.

Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case (Episode 2)/The Great Detective Turned Small, The Unwelcome Great Detective, The Sixth Smokestack & The Other Perpetrator (Chapters 2-5)

  • The younger Shinichi is in a medical center at Tropical Land whereas in the anime he runs off after being awoken by the police.
  • In the manga, Tani immediately puts the vacation plans with Akiko on hold (much to the latter's disappointment). The anime leaves this scene out.
  • Rather than showing Conan being introduced to his new class (with Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko as students), the manga version of the story end with Conan reflecting on how he is incapable of fighting the bad guys in his younger form.

An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case (Episode 3)/From Third-Rate to Great Detective, The Bloody Case of the Lovely Pop Idol, Resemblance & An Unfortunate Misunderstanding (Chapters 6-9)

  • In the anime, Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko introduce themselves to Conan and follow along on the case. The Detective Boys don't appear in the manga until Volume 2.
  • In the manga, Ran suspects that Shinichi's absence might have to due with the two men in black that he pursued and planned to call the police. In the anime she merely plans to report his absence to the police without any mention of the men in black.

The Coded Map of the City Case (Episode 4) / Code Sheet Case (Chapter 36-39)

  • An entire portion of the story is left out of the anime where Ran takes Conan, Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko to Touto Tower. During which she recalls a time when she and Shinichi visited the tower and when he bought her a cold drink, which he put up to her cheek. Conan does the same thing, which prompts her to ask him about his true identity (as the manga version takes place after the The Shinkansen's Bomb Case). Conan responds by stating that he is Kamen Yaiba. The cola scene was redone in Movie 4.

The Shinkansen's Bomb Case (Episode 5)/Running Into The Two, The Four in the Green Car & Last 10 Seconds of Terror (Chapter 33-35)

  • In the manga, the two men in black are in fact Gin and Vodka. It is here that Conan first learns of their codenames.
  • Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko didn't appear in the manga version of the story. Thus, it's Ran who deposits the gum that Conan uses.
  • The manga version ends with Conan reflecting on the knowledge he learned about the two men in black. Ran's questioning of his true identity doesn't occur here, but in The Coded Map of the City Case (which follows the story in the manga rather than preceeding it).

Once-A-Month Present Threat Case (Episode 7)/The Curious Presents, The Same Person, The Mystery of August 3rd & Safe Before Your Eyes (Chapter 26-29)

  • In the manga, this story takes place after the Luxury Liner Serial Murder Case, as Ran gets a letter from Natsue who mentions that she and Takeshi are living a more quiet life on the ranch. Natsue tells Ran to give her regards to her "detective boyfriend", which sets up the story. The anime version starts with Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta asking about Shinichi and whether he is Ran's boyfriend.

Art Museum Owner Murder Case (Episode 8)/The Pen That Cannot Write (Chapter 32)

  • At the end of the case in the manga version, Kogoro Mouri is shown reading a newspaper article about himself because he helped the Police solve the murder of the museum's owner. This marks the first claim to fame of Kogoro. In the anime version, this is replaced with a scene of the Detective Boys discussing about the aftermath of the museum, and their plan of investigating a case about a "moving skeleton" at night.

Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case (Episode 11)/A Dangerous Game of Hide-And-Seek, Follow the Voice!! & What! Really!? (Chapter 81-83)

  • The anime version includes a flashback with Agasa describing how the Detective Boys Badges work, which is absent from the manga version as they were introduced in the manga version of Missing Corpse Murder Case.
  • While searching for Ayumi, the boys notice Inspector Megure in a patrol car. After they find Ayumi, they see Inspector Megure pass by in the patrol car again, this time with a criminal. Both of these moments are anime-only.

The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case (Episode 12)/The Missing Man, The Sad Girl, Follow the Giant! & A Devil-like Woman (Chapter 13-16)

  • In the manga version of the story Gin and Vodka are the masterminds of the case (rather than Okita), and they end up killing Masami Hirota/Akemi Miyano who informs Conan of the organization's existence. This would lead to Ai Haibara's appearance in the series. Furthermore, Ai makes a silhouetted appearance when Akemi is demanding for herself and her sister to be free of the organization, which is also omitted. To repair the storyline, Episode 128 The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case was written with a similar ending to the manga version.

Missing Corpse Murder Case (Episode 15)/Formation! The Detective Boys, Mysterious Brothers & Moving Corpse Mystery (Chapter 56-58)

  • The manga version of the story takes place before "Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case", and is the first story with the Detective Boys' Badges. The story begins with Conan giving them to Mitsuhiko, Genta and Ayumi at school. Afterwards, they go into the P.A. Room to announce themselves to the school as The Detective Boys, only to be kicked out by a teacher, which then ends with them (except for Conan) imagining the fame that will come with their cases. The entire scene is absent from the anime.
  • In the manga, after Conan knocks out Tomofumi with a iron kettle with the Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes, the kick causes him considerable pain in the foot and he jumps up screaming. Conan's pain is not depicted in the anime episode.

Luxury Liner Serial Murder Case (Episode 22-23)/The Hatamoto Family, The Secret of the Impenetrable Room, The Location of the Inheritance, Family Obliteration, Trap-Springer In The Dark and The Dream That Will Not Come True (Chapter 20-25)

  • In the manga, while waiting for Ichiro to return from the restroom, Joji Hatamoto comes up with a thought that the one who released Takeshi from the storeroom was the murdered Tatsuo Hatamoto. His theory: Upon learning that the entire inheritance was to be passed on to Natsue only, and not wanting to be cut off, Tatsuo released Takeshi and offered to help prove his innocence in return for a considerable share of the inheritance, and Takeshi, on the pretence of wanting to negotiate with him further, lured Tatsuo to the boat deck where he attacked him there. This is not depicted in the anime.
  • In the anime, there is an additional scene not depicted in the manga: After the case is solved, Natsue and Takeshi have a small talk on the boat deck in which Takeshi confessed that he did indeed intially joined the Hatamoto family for revenge, but abandoned his motive after realizing that he had developed genuine feelings for Natsue, and the two make up. Conan and Ran are shown overhearing the conversation.
  • In the manga, this marks the first case in which Conan uses the Stun-Gun Wristwatch to knock out Kogoro, as well as showing a flashback to Agasa presenting it to him. In the anime, Conan already had it since "Valentine Murder Case".

Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case (Episode 27-28)/Kogoro's Class Reunion, An Unexpected Hint & The Two Benkei Standing Deaths (Chapter 84-86)

  • The manga starts off at the reunion during the moment where Conan and Ran are bathing. The anime starts before the reunion is held with Conan and Ran trying to convince Kogoro to take them. During which a robbery takes place with Kogoro and Conan pursuing the robber. Kogoro is saved when Conan kicks the gun away from the robber. Afterwards, Kogoro, Conan and Ran meet with Yumi who hopes to see all of them at the reunion. Meanwhile Kazushi sneaks onto the scene to steal the gun used by the robber (though it's not revealed to be him until Part 2.

Season 2 - Episodes 29-54

TV Station Murder Case (Episode 31)/A Death During a Live Broadcast, Illusionary Road & Flash News Deduction Show (Chapter 102-104)

  • In the manga, Michihiko Suwa is characterized as being far more self-centered and concerned with his career than in the anime. When Matsuo calls the producer claiming that he'll commit suicide by jumping from the television studio roof, he tells Suwa that he will be "going down" with him. Stating that he has listed all of Suwa's misdeeds in his will, Matsuo frightens the producer by insinuating that everything will be written in tomorrow's newspaper. Fearful for his own future, Suwa rushes to the window to try and convince Matsuo not to jump. In the anime, Matsuo does not make such threats, and Suwa runs to the window out of concern for Matsuo's life as opposed to his career being ruined.
  • In the manga, when Kogoro's deduction show is televised outside of the Nichiuri Television Studio for the public's viewing, more time is spent showing people's reactions to the broadcast than in the anime. One such scene that was entirely omitted involved Sonoko Suzuki. While watching a movie, her mother tells her to go to bed as it's getting late. Just as Sonoko asks if she can stay up a bit longer, her movie is interrupted by a news bulletin concerning the death of Michihiko Suwa. When the screen switches to Kogoro's deduction, Sonoko's facial expression of confusion turns to complete shock.

Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case (Episode 34-35)/The Mysterious... Bandaged Man, The First Victim!, Ran in Trouble!, Attack in the Dark! & The Identity of the Murderer! (Chapter 40-44)

  • The manga version of this story was the first appearance of Sonoko Suzuki (while in the anime she made her debut in Valentine Murder Case), as well as the first time that Conan solved a murder through her (which in the anime was first done in A June Bride Murder Case). The manga version established that she never met Conan until now.
  • The anime version ends with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder. The manga placed this at the beginning of the Karaoke Box Murder Case.

Akaoni Village Fire Festival Murder Case (Episode 38)/An Advantageous Shadow, A Perfect Alibi & The Picture Speaks (Chapter 10-12)

  • The manga version of the story sets up Conan being in school, as well as introducing his newly created Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes (which he tries while playing soccer while at the grade school soccer field).

Karaoke Box Murder Case (Episode 42)/The Karaoke Killer!, Suicide or Homicide?, The Mystery Hidden In The Song & How Lives Cross... (Chapter 45-48)

  • The manga version of the episode takes place right after Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case, with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder. The scene as it appeared in the anime was used for the ending of the Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case.
  • The manga reveals that Tatsuya was rude to his band, because he didn't want them to miss him after he left.
  • The anime ends with Ran receiving her present, whereas the manga ends with her trying to find Shinichi (while Conan is shown, nervously hiding).

The Mist Goblin Legend Murder Case (Episode 52)/The Fasting Room, The Sakura Blossoms and the Hole in the Wall and The Power Of Levitation (Chapter 108-110)

  • The anime version starts off with Conan, Ran and Kogoro looking at the cherry blossom trees, as well as Conan recaps his first encounter with Gin & Vodka. The scene ends with Conan, Ran & Kogoro having their picture taken.

Season 3 - Episodes 55-82

The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case (Episode 72)/The Witnesses Are...!?, The Triplet Suspects and Really Sad Brotherly Bonds (Chapter 122-124)

  • In the manga, Conan's second attempt to fire a tranquilizer dart at Sonoko is foiled by Ran who catches him behind the door, prompting him to get Ran and Sonoko to solve the mystery together. When his question fails to guide them in the right direction, Conan tries and succeeds at firing his dart. In the anime, he is successful on his second attempt.

Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case (Episode 77-78)/The Blood-Stained Bandage, White Murder, Truth of the Telephone and Bonds of Flame (Chapter 150-153)

  • In the manga, Conan replaced the gasoline that the killer intended to use by emptying the geyser. In the anime, he replaced the gasoline with water.

Season 4 - Episodes 83-106

Ski Lodge Murder Case (Episode 84-85)/An Unexpected Crew, The Last Guest, Gone, The Disappearing Rope and Truth From Tears (Chapter 139-143)

The Bank Robber's Hospitalization Case (Episode 91)/What Should We Do!? (Chapter 166)

  • The following scenes were made for the anime version:
    • Kogoro getting his leg broken & asking the paramedics to take him to Yoko's show, as well as the Detective Boys looking for his hospital room.
    • Mr. Sekiguchi tells the Detective Boys about the bank robbery with a flashback shown.
    • After Yoshio leaves the room, Kogoro and the Detective Boys talk about where the bank robbers could be hiding with Kogoro making a joke about them being in the suburbs. Genta responds hoping that his other leg gets broken with Mitsuhiko stating that they should let him be hospitalized forever. Kogoro asks Mr. Sekiguchi for his imput only to find he fell asleep and thinks he's just tired. He then asks the Detective Boys to take him to the lobby so he can watch Yoko. A radio is shown taped under his bed.
    • A flashback detailing the car accident.
    • The Detective Boys moving Kogoro to the lobby with Conan accidentally getting kicked in the face by Kogoro's casted leg.
    • Ran coming to check up on Kogoro only to find him dancing in the lobby while watching Yoko. Kogoro eventually breaks his other leg, with Rans ignoring him.

Season 5 - Episodes 107-134

The Mystery Writer Disappearance Case (Episode 116-117) / Mystery Writer Case (Chapter 182-184)

The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case (Episode 128)

  • This anime-only episode was designed to repair the major plot error that occurred because Akemi Miyano was left alive in the anime version of The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case. Akemi's death was necessary to motivate Shiho Miyano to betray the Black Organization. To fix this error, The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case has Gin and Vodka kill Akemi after a successful bank robbery.

Season 6 - Episodes 135-162

Season 7 - Episodes 163-193

Reunion with the Black Organization (Episodes 176-178) / (Chapters 238-242)

  • In the scene just before Conan gives Haibara his glasses, Shiho recalls her nightmare about Gin killing Conan, the Detective Boys, and the rest of her friends. In the manga, Gin's body and face are spattered with blood. The anime version removes the bloody spatter, presumably because of the implied violence.
  • The anime version omits a brief questioning scene where the seven suspects that had purple handkerchiefs are being called for individually by Megure for interrogation. Vermouth looks out the window, presumably for Gin and Vodka who are about to arrive.
  • Conan's notebook diagram of the locations of the seven suspects at the time of the murder is different in the anime.
  • The anime omits Vodka shooting the lock out of the storage room with a silenced handgun.
  • In the newspaper picture that shows Pisco aiming at the chandelier, the figure is very difficult to see in the anime, which makes this clue nearly useless. The manga version shows the person's raised arm clearly.

The Desperate Revival: The Wounded Great Detective (Episode 189) / One's Trust & An Infatuated Heart (Chapter 253-254)

The Desperate Revival: The Third Choice (Episode 190) / The Intruder's Sudden Arrival & Concealed Truth (Chapter 255-256)

  • In the anime, after it's revealed that Shinichi is really Heiji, Megure made a comment about how they don't need anyone else showing idiotic behavior like Kogoro (prompting an annoyed stare by Kogoro, with Megure passing his comment as a joke).

Season 8 - Episodes 194-216

Season 9 - Episodes 217-254

The Mysterious Passenger (Episodes 230-231) / Bus Hijacking Case (Files 287-289)

  • In the manga version of the jazz club scene, Vermouth never actually says the phrase "A secret makes a woman woman" out in English like she does in the anime version. Later, she propositions Gin. The anime changes the conversation to avoid the sexual references.

Manga Version
Vermouth: (to Gin) So, how about tonight? Want to make some martini?
Vodka: Martini?
Vermouth: Don't you know? It's gin and vermouth mixed.
Gin: Heh. Mixing black and black will only give you black.

Chapter 287 pg 5

Anime Version
Vermouth: (to Gin) Hey, let me ask you one thing. Have you found the kitty that got away?
Gin: No, but I certainly will. My nose can always detect the scent of a traitor. I'll make her taste true fear... and it'll be the same for the guy she is with.

Episode 230
  • When Conan ran back into the bus to save Haibara, he broke the bus window with a hijacker's gun in the manga. The gunshot was replaced by a kicked fire extinguisher in the anime to reduce gun violence.

Season 10 - Episodes 255-285

English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective (Episodes 277-278) / Flying Neighbor Case (Files 341-343)

Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red.
The anime version of these pictures has many mistakes.
  • Jodie Starling's copies of the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures. This important clue that Jodie was not Vermouth was overlooked by the anime which drew the edges evenly.[1] The anime version also removed the word "Angel" from Ran's photo. The cursive "cool guy" on Conan's photo was accidentally written in the anime as "cool gay", probably because the animators were not used to English cursive.

The Truth of the Haunted House (Episode 274-275) / Haunted Apartment Case (File 355-357)

  • In the manga version, this case takes place right after Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, which actually aired later in the anime series. At the beginning, Conan is shown disguising his voice as Shinichi's and asking Ran about her sickness over the phone. He also tells her that the serial killer they encountered in New York was actually murdered, because it would be unusual for someone to erase his fingerprints and blood trails if he decided to commit suicide. In the anime version, this scene didn't happen until the end of Episode 288, and in this case it was replaced with Sonoko talking to Ran in her bedroom instead.

Season 11 - Episodes 286-315

Shinichi Kudo's New York Case (Episode 286-288) / Golden Apple Case (File 350-354)

  • Because of the rearrangement on the airing order, in the anime version, the ending part of this case is included with the scene of Conan (using Shinichi's voice) discussing with Ran about the events back in New York, which should have been the beginning of The Truth of the Haunted House in the original manga series where it takes place right after this case.

Season 12 - Episodes 316-353

The Convenience Store Trap (Episodes 343-344) / Convenience Store Case (Files 426-428)

Season 13 - Episodes 354-389

Season 14 - Episodes 390-426

Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out (Episode 425) / (Chapters 499-504)

  • When Jodie shoots the sprinklers to stop the Black Organization snipers, Kir hears the silenced gunshots. In the manga, Kir just turns her head slightly to see the broken sprinkler. In the anime, she turns her whole body towards the sprinkler in order to look which was an animation mistake. Her pin is a camera and would have broadcast the video of Jodie and the broken sprinkler to Gin, Vodka and Vermouth.

Season 15 - Episodes 427-465

Season 16 - Episodes 466-490

Demon of the TV Station (Episode 488)/The Devil Comes..., The Devil's Trick and The Devil's Tears (Chapter 591-593)

  • The anime version starts at night with Onizuka Satan being told by Tenji that his performance is canceled.
  • The manga version of the story takes place within the Clash of Red and Black storyline (between Hades and Coma) and has a scene with Conan and Haibara debating on the relation between Hidemi Hondou and Eisuke. The anime version (taking place before the storyline) replaces the scene with the Detective Boys introducing themselves to Waka Inoue and Azusa Yamamoto.

Season 17 - Episodes 491-527

The Blue Spark of Hate (Episode 524-525)/Burn, Cause of Fire and Crackle (Chapter 635-637)

Clash of Red and Black (Episode 491-504)/Kir Transport Case (Chapter 599-609)

  • In the manga, it was never mentioned how Akai and Akemi first met. But in Episode 497, it was shown in a flashback that Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.
  • In the manga, there is a scene in which a Black Organization guard is spying on Kir when she is confronted by Gin. However, in episode 502, this scene is omitted from the anime.
  • Akai's face after he was killed by Kir was only shown once in the anime instead of twice like the manga, presumably because of the violence and blood. The two panels of Akai's face in the manga showed that Akai's head moved and his face became clean while Kir stepped away from the truck, suggesting Akai was really faking his death. The anime's censorship made this clue much more difficult to notice.

Season 18 - Episodes 528-565

The Revolving Sushi Mystery (Episode 549-550)/The Revolving Weapon, Sharpshooting and Whereabouts of the Poison (Chapter 655-657)

Manga vs. Anime representation

Detective Boys vs. Robber Group (Episode 563-564)/Bank Heist Case (Chapter 677-679)

  • The anime version created a minor error by showing Scar Akai's scar and the skin where the duct tape over his eyes had formerly been. Removing the tape should have tore the mask over Scar Akai's face at the time. In the manga, Scar Akai's face is drawn much more ambiguously; the gun and the shadow of the hat Scar Akai is wearing hide the scar and the part of his face where the tape had been removed.

Season 19 - Episodes 566-605

Season 20 - Episodes 606-645

Holmes' Apprentice (Episode 616)/Holmes' Apprentice (Chapter 746)

  • In the manga, when Conan accepts Diana's invitation to visit her in London, Azusa Enomoto mentions in an obviously stunned manner that Conan can speak English, an observation also made by Ran. In the anime, while still taking place in the Cafe Poirot, Azusa is completely omitted from the scene. Instead, Kogoro takes over her role of noticing Conan's ability to speak English.

Satan (Episode 616)/Ask Holmes (Chapter 743)

  • In the manga, Hades Sabara's past is elaborated on in more detail. Shinichi reads online that after his mother died, Hades invited the acquaintances hounding him for money to his house where he slaughtered them all. One week later, he went to the home of the friend who suggested he invest in the stock market; not only did Hades murder the entire family, but he ripped out all of their hearts. While the online source did not explain the reason behind such brutality, Shinichi speculated that his mother's serious disease could have been related to the heart. The omission is likely due to the dark nature of the crimes and the gruesome background panel accompanying the story of Sabara's past in the manga, an image which was likely too graphic for animation.

Emergency Situation 252 (Episode 622)/ A Person in Need of Rescue (File 753)

The deleted earthquake scene
The aftermath of the earthquake

The manga version of this case featured an earthquake between the hide and seek scenes and Genta discovering the knocking. This scene was removed from the anime out of sensitivity to the recent Tōhoku earthquake that occurred in March 2011. In the deleted section, Conan was the seeker and had just finished finding everyone except Genta when the earthquake struck. After recovering, they asked Genta to return to the first floor using the detective badge so they could leave in case of aftershocks. Genta was upset that the game was ending prematurely and yelled into the detective badge. Genta then heard the knocking. The Detective Boys were worried the knocking signaled someone was trapped in the building because of the earthquake, so they investigated and encountered the two workers.

Season 21 - Episodes 646-Present

Detectives' Nocturne (Episode 671-674)/Online Client (File 796-800)

  • Due to the fact that these four episodes were adapted from only five manga chapters, to fill in the timing, the anime version of the case was included with a few additional scenes that were not from the original manga. One of such scenes showed Okiya waiting for Agasa and Ai inside of his car in front of Agasa's house, before they started moving. He was shown secretly listening to something with a device, and immediately hid it when the two people came out. It was never explained what exactly he was listening to. Aside from this, there were also some small additional dialogues during the whole case that weren't originated from the manga.
  • In the Manga file 800, page 12, when Amuro pulled Ran closer to him to prepare for the upcoming crash, his left hand accidentally (although it might have been intentionally) touched her left breast. This scene was, however, censored in the anime version because of its sensitivity.

Won't Forgive One Millimeter (Episode 675-676)/Domestic Violence (File 801-803)

  • In the anime version, Tooru Amuro's background image was omitted when Sera told Ran and Sonoko that she also wanted to meet him, not only Conan.
