Meitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback to focus on Yamato, Kogoro
A new official website opened on Wednesday to announce that the 28th film in the Detective Conan (Case Closed) franchise will open in Japan on April 18, 2025 with the title Meitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback (Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback). The staff unveiled a visual by original manga creator Gōshō Aoyama:
The film will take place in the snowy mountains of the Nagano prefecture, and the visual depicts Conan on a snowboard. The visual prominently shows the character Yamato, an inspector in Nagano with an injured left eye, and Kogoro, a major character whose last major role in a film was back in the ninth movie Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths in 2005. The visual also features Taka’aki and Yui, who are also from Nagano.
Katsuya Shigehara (unit director of Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine) is directing the film. Takeharu Sakurai (various Detective Conan movies) is writing the script.
More information will be revealed on Thursday.
The Detective Conan: Hyakuman Doru no Michishirube (Case Closed: The Million-dollar Pentagram) film opened last April. The film ranked at #1 in its opening weekend, selling 2,274,333 tickets and earning 3,352,494,500 (about US$21.7 million) yen in its first three days.
The film is the highest-grossing film in the franchise, beating last year’s Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine (Iron Submarine) film’s 13.83 billion yen (about US$88.23 million) earnings.
