The 27th installment of the "Detective Conan" movie series, titled "Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Pentagram," has officially announced its release date for August 16th. Since its premiere in Japan on April 12th, this latest film has grossed over 155 billion yen at the box office, setting a new record for the highest-grossing film in the series domestically.
Kaito Kid, the flamboyant phantom thief, makes his return with a bold announcement through a teaser letter, revealing his target to be a pair of Towa Eiryu's short swords. As a long-standing rival of Kid, Detective Conan is puzzled by this choice, wondering aloud, "Why would he set his sights on these swords?" For a master thief known for his gemstone heists, there must be more to this selection than meets the eye.
Kansai detective Heiji Hattori also issues a challenge to Kaito Kid, leading to a dramatic showdown under the moonlight where swords clash. A fleeting thought of Kazuha Toyama crosses Heiji's mind, recalling the unresolved tension between him and Kid following a past encounter. In the heat of battle, Heiji manages to strike Kid's hat and glasses, partially exposing his face. Will this slip-up reveal Kid's true identity? And what secrets lie behind this mysterious theft?
