Masami confronts Okita and angrily asks him why did he kill Akira. Okita says Akira was too dumb to handle such a large quantity of money, and after drawing his gun he adds that he will also kill Masami. Then Conan steps in and uses his Power Shoes to kick a can into Okita's face, capturing and knocking him out. Masami asks him who he is, and Conan calmly tells her "I'm Conan Edogawa, and I'm a detective!".

    Manga to anime changes

    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 and that they dress in black. Her death is the motive of Shiho Miyano's defection which leads to Ai Haibara's appearance later in the series. Furthermore, Shiho 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.

    Trivia
