Shinichi eventually manages to take part to the Kyoto trip with Ran and their friends, thanks to the series of antidotes Haibara gave Conan. Each time Conan takes an antidote, he has to wait 8 hours after the back shrinking before taking another one. Shinichi and Ran secretly hope that Ran will give an answer to Shinichi's love declaration back in London. On the Kiyomizu-Dera, Shinichi meets Keiko, an actress and old friend of his mother, who stays in the same hotel as Shinichi and his class, with some university friends with which she shot a blockbuster revolving around a tengu and other monsters. She asks Shinichi to help her to decipher a mysterious code written and sent by their late friend Michio Dekuri, who committed suicide some time ago. The code was received by Nishiki, the movie's screenwriter, along with red aralia leaves, typical from Kyoto. Shinichi tries to solve it, while enjoying Kyoto with his friends, in particular Masumi, who knows Conan is Shinichi but still keeps it a secret. The group of friends visit Kyoto's temples and their gruesome crimson ceilings, that were at first the temple's floors spilled with the blood of samurais who committed mass suicide/seppuku and left many footprints, it was so astounding that the floors were kept and turned into ceilings.

Agata had beforehand booked all of the hotel's smoking rooms and checked one out for Nishiki just as the latter was phoning the hotel. In this room, Agata had previously painted the ceiling red with fake blood splatters and footprints. He then stuck magnetic post-its (similar to Nishiki's ones) over the whole ceiling in order to conceal it, the post-its being of the same color as the ceiling. After killing Nishiki, Agata unstuck all post-its and threw them away on the floor, mixing them up with Nishiki's own ones. He then opened the window and sprayed some of Nishiki's blood with a syringe on the fake blood traces, to pretend he had indeed been murdered on the ceiling by a tengu. Agata, a plastic art expert, also made a fake tengu out of guncotton and used alcohol-ink marker pens to draw on it. He then pasted the very light piece of artwork on his room's ceiling, screamed, pretending to be assaulted by a monster, and threw the ashtray with his lit cigarette in it to the tengu's face to have it explode, burn and vanish into thin air, as this is how guncotton reacts to fire. He had lit his cigarette not long ago to do so, explaining the only 3-centimeter burn patterns left by his cigarette on the floor, that should have been longer if he'd been smoking for a longer period of time.

Agata tries to run away but gets surrounded by the police who were disguised as visitors. Agata finally confesses to being the serial killer, giving two bumps to his victims just like the tengu does to Kobutori Tale's evil old man who tries to imitate the good Kobutori, just like Nishiki, Ihaya and Mayama stole Dekuri's work and pretended his name would feature in the movie's credits while it was eventually not the case. Agata asked them for an explanation, saying Dekuri cried unceasingly, and the three men replied they were so happy their plan had worked perfectly, thus implying they wanted to humiliate their depressed friend and never had the intention to put his name in the movie. But Keiko and Mayama turn up and say that the producers had modified some very important typology spaces in the credits, preventing the name "Michio Dekuri" from appearing. As actually the name was supposed to appear across the five people's vertical names, which is why everyone changed names and spaces. Dekuri's name was supposed to appear at the same time, and it didn't beacuse of the producers, who didn't want to clear up the mistake afterwards for financial reasons. Agata wasn't told about it as their friends wanted Dekuri and him to discover the surprise while watching the movie together, as they were really close friends. Agata howls in regrets for what he did to his friends.

He then comments on the fact Dekuri would have probably not killed himself if he had seen the poster earlier.

Shinichi eventually manages to take part to the Kyoto trip with Ran and their friends, thanks to the series of antidotes Haibara gave Conan. Each time Conan takes an antidote, he has to wait 8 hours after the back shrinking before taking another one. Shinichi and Ran secretly hope that Ran will give an answer to Shinichi's love declaration back in London. On the Kiyomizu-Dera, Shinichi meets Keiko, an actress and old friend of his mother, who stays in the same hotel as Shinichi and his class, with some university friends with which she shot a blockbuster revolving around a tengu and other monsters. She asks Shinichi to help her to decipher a mysterious code written and sent by their late friend Michio Dekuri, who committed suicide some time ago.

The group of friends visit Kyoto's temples and their gruesome crimson ceilings, that were at first the temple's floors spilled with the blood of samurais who committed mass suicide/seppuku and left many footprints, it was so astounding that the floors were kept and turned into ceilings.

Bright Red Arc

Murder

EP927 Case1.png

Location: GION Hotel
Victim: Taro Nishiki
Age: 38 years old
Cause of death: Stab wound
Suspects: Mineto Mayama, Shinya Ihaya, Keiko Kurachi, and Riki Agata
After Nishiki meets with the others to show the riddle, he dies less than an hour later and is seen stabbed dead on the floor. Around him are scattered sheets of the screenplay, labels and a new riddle. On his forehead have been made two bumps and on the ceiling was a blood pond (in fact red paint painted beforehand except for a few droplets of real blood) and footsteps leading to the exterior of the room as if it was a tengu's doing.

EP927 Case2.png

Location: GION Hotel
Victim: Riki Agata
Age: 37 years old
Attack Types: Stabbing
Suspects: Mineto Mayama, Shinya Ihaya, and Keiko Kurachi
Just and hour after Nishiki's murder, Agata is seen screaming in his room which alerts everyone. They gather at the door and get it unlocked by the bellhop before seeing inside Agata on the floor with two bumps on his head and screaming for help at a tengu on the ceiling. He then throws his ashtray at it before it explodes and vanished. The next day, Agata slowly recovered from the injury and there wasn't any new riddle.
Murder

EP927 Case3.png

Location: Isogiyama Restaurant front porch
Victim: Shinya Ihaya
Age: 37 years old
Cause of death: Slit wound on the throat
Suspects: Mineto Mayama, Keiko Kurachi, and Riki Agata
After a hord of people disguised as tengus disturb the group (Shinichi, Nakamichi, Ran, Sonoko, Momiji and Masumi), they fight them before finding out that someone on a website was paying them 100 thousand Yen. As they feared it was the culprit's actions to distract them, they head back to the restaurant and find out it was too late: Ihaya was dead, lying upside-down on the Inuyarai where there were the same footprints as in Nishiki's room.

Crimson Love Arc

Suicide (Past)
Location: Kiyomizu Butai
Victim: Michio Dekuri
Time: 3-4 days ago
Cause of death: Falling
A few days before the murder spree in Kyoto, one of the previous members of the filming team who had wrote the first version of the story (in manga) killed himself by throwing himself from the top of the Kiyomizu dera shrine after he thought he was forgotten by the others (Mayama, Agata, Nishiki, and Ihaya) since they didn't put his name in the credits or so what he thought.
Attempted Murder

EP928 Case1.png

Location: Kiyomizu Butai
Victim: Mineto Mayama
Age: 38 years old
Cause: Falling
Suspects: Keiko Kurachi, Riki Agata, and Michio Dekuri's reincarnation
On the last day of the pre-open of the movie, Mayama receives a phone call from an unknown person telling him to go to the Kiyomizu Butai. Heading there, he sees a mysterious and invisible silhouette approaching him with bloody footprints before grabbing him and throwing him over the railing saying that he is Michio Dekuri reincarnated as a tengu after falling and that he'll seek revenge. He luckily survives without any injuries since Shinichi, Heiji, Yusaku and Masumi already planned the culprit's doings and prepared a matress under the shrine. Shinichi and Heiji then confront the culprit.

People

  • Resolution

    Trivia

    • The OS on the laptop Yusaku and Yukiko use is Windows 10.
    • This canon case was initially planned to be set in Singapore for the manga, but was later changed to Kyoto. The Singapore setting was then recycled for The Fist of Blue Sapphire.
    • The two episodes were aired as a one hour and a half movie on January 10, 2019, at the Tokyo Shiodome cinema, two days before the broadcast of the second part. Every staff member who worked on the two episodes were invited, along with some pre-selected fans who had the opportunity to ask questions to the staff.
    • Along with Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery, this is the second one hour special episode, transmitted in two parts.
    • The anime staff went to Kyoto to take reference material (photos, videos, etc.) for the two episodes special in the last months preceding the creation of the special.
    • Shinichi and Nakamichi's room is 927, just like the episode that makes the first part of the case.
    • Mai Kuraki's manager seen in the episode isn't the real manager, since the real one is a man named Toshinori Masuda and the president of Being.
    • Gosho Aoyama worked as key animator for episode 928.
    • The taxi taken by Mineto Mayama to Kiyomizu Dera is the same as in Conan Kidnapped (Koba Taxi car 567) but with a different license plate: 東山 500, こ 58-84 (Higashiyama 500, Ko 58-84).
    • Greg Erwin, a real life author-interpret and singer makes a appearance as himself as he impersonates a Los Angeles news announcer with a character design similar to his look. He was born in the United States but lives in Japan and speaks perfect Japanese.
    • Restaurant Danny's Dining reappears at the end of episode 928.

    Manga to anime changes

    • The scene with Mai Kuraki and her manager is only seen in the anime, although the quote about the double couple was proposed by Gosho Aoyama.
    • The part when Ran asks Keiko Kurachi if she has won the Macademy Awards is skipped in the anime.
