A Closer Look at the Featured Films
The selected films offer fans a chance to revisit some of Detective Conan’s most thrilling cases.
Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker (2012)
The Eleventh Striker is the 16th film in the Detective Conan series and first premiered in Japan on April 14, 2012. In this action-packed installment, Conan Edogawa faces a serial bomber whose targets are strategically placed within the world of professional soccer. The plot unfolds with a series of riddles sent to Kogoro Mouri, threatening to detonate bombs in various stadiums during J. League matches unless Conan and his friends can decipher the bomber’s true intentions and identify the “eleventh striker” who can stop the attacks.
Detective Conan: The Fourteenth Target (1998)
The second movie in the Detective Conan franchise, The Fourteenth Target (also known as The Fourteenth Suspect), was originally released in 1998. This film delves into a series of attempted murders where the victims are connected to Kogoro Mouri and have numbers in their names that descend from 13. Conan must unravel the mystery behind the seemingly random attacks, which also involve Ran’s mother, Eri Kisaki, and Inspector Megure, as he races against time to protect those close to him from the unknown assailant.
Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea (2013)
Released in 2013 as the 17th Detective Conan movie, Private Eye in the Distant Sea takes Conan and the Detective Boys aboard a state-of-the-art Aegis destroyer for a naval experience. However, the fun quickly turns into a high-stakes mystery when a self-defense force member is found dead, and a spy from a foreign country is suspected to be on board. Conan, with the help of the Japan Coast Guard, must expose the spy and prevent a potential international incident while navigating the confined spaces of the ship.
Continuing the Detective Conan Legacy
Beyond the “Cinema Saturdays” campaign, TMS Entertainment has also made a specially curated selection of Detective Conan anime episodes available on Crunchyroll and Netflix since July 3. These episodes feature both Japanese audio and a new English dub, marking the new dub’s debut on Crunchyroll. Additionally, the franchise’s 26th film, Detective Conan: The Black Iron Submarine, had its U.S. premiere at Anime Expo on July 5.
