This 29th standalone feature is directe dby Takahiro Hasui (Mob Psycho 100 III), with the screenplay by Takahiro Okura, who previously wrote Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram, balancing accessibility for new audiences and franchise rewards for long-time fans. The score is composed by Yugo Kanno (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, PSYCHO-PASS). Thecore voice cast is joined by live-action talents Ryusei Yokohama (Kokuho) and Mei Hata (Blue Lock).

Cedric Behrel, managing director of Trinity CineAsia, stated: "We're very proud to be bringing such a beloved IP to UK and Irish audiences for the third time running. Detective Conan has special resonance at home in Japan, of course, where it keeps topping the box office, but also here, with its connection to a quintessential British icon: Sherlock Holmes. The response to The Million-dollar Pentagram and One-Eyed Flashback has been very positive overall. Audiences really enjoyed the action and humour, with reviewers calling it a great, fresh take on a classic spy adventure suitable for a wide age range. We look forward to rewarding them with more "case-solving" activities, such as the one we did with the Sherlock Holmes Museum, which showcases the franchise's clever, accessible mystery-solving heart to a more diverse crowd and creates memorable moments. We are very grateful to TMS for the continued trust they are placing in us with their most cherished franchise."

Synopsis

Conan Edogawa and his friends head to Kanagawa for the Motorcycle Festival. On the way, a mysterious black motorcycle suddenly appears, speeding out of control and even leaping over their vehicle. Pursuing it is the "Goddess of the Wind," Kanagawa Traffic Police officer Chihaya Hagiwara. Despite her relentless chase, the rider escapes, leaving her motorcycle heavily damaged. At the venue, the group witnesses the debut of a cutting-edge police motorcycle called "Angel." Meanwhile, the black bike resurfaces in Tokyo, once again evading police pursuit. Investigation reveals it closely resembles "Angel," leading authorities to name it "Lucifer" and launch a full-scale search. As the case deepens, Hagiwara is drawn into memories of her late brother Kenji Hagiwara and his colleague Jinpei Matsuda, setting the stage for a high-speed confrontation between the Goddess of the Wind and the Fallen Angel.
