Detective Conan Episode 130
"The Blank Year (Part One)"
**[00:00] Conan**
[OP]
***SIGN*** Within the Metropolitan Area, Koneru City
**[00:01] Kogoro**
Now then. I finished my investigative report.
**[00:04] Kogoro**
Here in Koneru City...
**[00:07] Kogoro**
Maybe I'll go for a drink this afternoon.
**[00:18] Kogoro**
What happened? Are you all right?
**[00:20] Esaka**
While I was waiting for the light to
change, someone suddenly pushed my back.
**[00:26] Esaka**
I was nearly hit by a car.
**[00:29] Kogoro**
Did anyone see the culprit?
**[00:33] Kogoro**
Can you think of any reason
someone would want to kill you?
**[00:35] Kogoro**
Does anyone have a grudge against you?
**[00:38] Esaka**
I can't think of anything.
**[00:44] Esaka**
No, maybe I did something to
them during my blank year.
**[00:51] Kogoro**
Blank year?
**[00:54] Esaka**
Are you Mori Kogoro-san, the great detective?
**[00:58] Kogoro**
Yes.
**[00:58] Esaka**
My name is Esaka Ritsuo.
***SIGN*** Esaka Ritsuo (28)
Man with Memory Loss
**[01:01] Esaka**
Please find the past that's
been erased from my memory.
**[01:06] Kogoro**
Find the past?
**[01:21] Conan**
Finally arriving after
swaying back and forth,
**[01:23] Conan**
draw close to mysteries and
begin deducing the truth!
**[01:25] Conan**
A whole year lost!
**[01:26] Conan**
With his life in danger, he
searches for his memories!
**[01:28] Conan**
Always determining the one truth
**[01:30] Conan**
with the body of a child
and the mind of an adult,
**[01:32] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!
***SIGN*** The Blank Year
(Part One)
**[03:07] Sign**
"The Blank Year, Part One!"
**[03:12] Sign**
Mori Detective Agency
**[03:13] Kogoro**
What do you mean, you lost
a year's worth of memories?
**[03:20] Esaka**
It happened one evening last week.
**[03:23] Esaka**
Before I knew it, I'd lost
consciousness at the station.
**[03:27] Esaka**
Apparently I slipped down
the stairs and hit my head.
**[03:33] Esaka**
When I returned to my workplace...
**[03:38] Boss A**
*Esaka, what have you been doing until now?*
**[03:42] Boss A**
* You disappeared for a whole*
* year after going out on a job.*
**[03:46] Esaka**
*A year?*
**[03:50] Esaka**
That was when I first learned about it.
**[03:53] Esaka**
I thought I'd left that morning
and returned that evening,
**[03:58] Esaka**
but an entire year had actually passed.
**[04:06] Conan**
Something must've made him suffer
memory loss while he was out on a job.
**[04:12] Kogoro**
And one year later, something
cured him of his amnesia.
**[04:18] Esaka**
But it was too late.
**[04:20] Esaka**
I was fired a long time ago,
**[04:23] Esaka**
and when I returned to my apartment,
someone else was living there.
**[04:29] Kogoro**
Like a sad Urashima Taro.
**[04:32] Esaka**
But I can't recall where I was or
what I was doing for a whole year.
**[04:39] Conan**
So you regained your previous memories and
lost your memory of the past year instead.
**[04:45] Kogoro**
Just like in that old movie "*Random Harvest*".
**[04:50] Esaka**
After thinking about it for a week,
I thought these might lead somewhere.
**[04:54] Esaka**
I examined their usage history.

**[04:57] Esaka**
I went all over the place every day, but I
always left from and returned to Koneru Station.
**[05:05] Kogoro**
Maybe you lived in Koneru City.
**[05:07] Esaka**
I thought so, too, so I was walking around
in the hope that I would remember something.
**[05:12] Esaka**
That's when it happened.
**[05:20] Esaka**
Maybe I did something to
incur someone's enmity.
**[05:26] Esaka**
But I still want to know how I lived.
**[05:30] Conan**
It is eerie not to know.
**[05:34] Kogoro**
Koneru City, right? Let's
talk another look around.
**[05:38] Esaka**
Mori-san...
**[05:39] Kogoro**
I, Mori Kogoro, shall find the year
that vanished from your memories.
**[05:49] Sign**
Discovered in the Mountains!
**[05:49] Sign**
Partially Skeletonized?!
**[05:49] Sign**
Kisugi Akira-san (38)
**[05:49] Sign**
Frequent Con Artist?
**[05:50] Conan**
One year is exactly twice as
long as this person was missing for.
**[05:54] Esaka**
Oh, right. This guy
suddenly disappeared, too.
**[05:58] Kogoro**
He was found dead in the mountains
of Wakabadai three days ago.
**[06:04] Kogoro**
He was partially skeletonized,
but he'd clearly been murdered.
***SIGN*** Outside the Metropolitan Area, Wakabadai
**[06:08] Kogoro**
It didn't take long to identify him as
Kisugi Akira, who'd been missing for six months.
**[06:15] Kogoro**
Apparently they're having trouble finding
the culprit who killed and buried him.
**[06:19] Kogoro**
He was a con artist, and a lot of
people had grudges against him.
**[06:24] Esaka**
Sounds like he was a bad person.
**[06:27] Kogoro**
Well, not that he matters.
**[06:32] Sign**
Koneru Station
**[06:42] Esaka**
I can't remember anything,
no matter what I look at.
**[06:46] Conan**
But if we find someone who knows you, we
can ask them about your blank year, right?
**[06:53] Kogoro**
That's true.
**[06:55] Kogoro**
If you showed up in this
neighborhood with memory loss,
**[06:59] Kogoro**
then maybe you visited that police box.
**[07:06] Kogoro**
Is that your police box?
**[07:10] Police A**
Yes. What about it?
**[07:13] Kogoro**
I believe this man visited
you about a year ago.
**[07:22] Police A**
I don't recognize him.
**[07:24] Police A**
I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
**[07:29] Kogoro**
We'll have to search on foot then.
**[07:33] Kogoro**
Even though we split up and asked
around, we came up empty-handed.
**[07:37] Kogoro**
There is a way to figure out what happened during
your blank year besides finding someone who knows.
**[07:45] Conan**
How?
**[07:54] Esaka**
What was that for?
**[07:56] Kogoro**
It's shock treatment.
You remember now, right?
**[08:03] Kogoro**
We could try slapping you really hard, too.
**[08:08] Conan**
*He seems like he'd actually do it.*
**[08:11] Esaka**
I know I'm the one who asked for
your help, but you've done enough.
**[08:15] Esaka**
Let's go, Mori-san.
**[08:20] Kogoro**
You're giving up?
**[08:22] Esaka**
I'm afraid to know after all.
**[08:25] Esaka**
If someone tried to kill me, I
must've done something really awful.
**[08:31] Conan**
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.
**[08:35] Conan**
It's hard to believe he's
someone who'd make enemies.
**[08:39] Kogoro**
That's why we need to find
your past, Esaka-kun.
**[08:43] Kogoro**
If someone has a grudge against you because
of a misunderstanding, you need to clear it up.
**[08:50] Esaka**
Maybe it's not a
misunderstanding! I'm scared!
**[08:53] Kogoro**
Esaka-kun!
**[08:53] Conan**
Esaka-san!
**[09:10] Kogoro**
It's that patrol officer from earlier.
**[09:12] Sign**

A burglar?
**[09:19] Kogoro**
How brazen of him to disguise
himself as a police officer.
**[09:23] Conan**
There was no point in asking him
since he was a fake officer.
**[09:26] Kogoro**
You're right. All right, let's go.
**[09:29] Esaka**
I-I said forget it!
**[09:31] Kogoro**
No!
**[09:41] Police B**
Yeah, I remember him.
**[09:44] Kogoro**
He visited you a year ago?
**[09:47] Police B**
Apparently he was bewildered
and suffering from memory loss
**[09:51] Police B**
according to the person who brought him here.
**[09:54] Police B**
Maybe he was robbed,
**[09:58] Police B**
but he didn't have any identification
on him or even a phone.
**[10:00] Police B**
I checked the missing persons reports, too.
**[10:03] Kogoro**
But you didn't find him.
**[10:05] Kogoro**
After all, more than 80,000
people go missing a year.
**[10:09] Conan**
What happened to Esaka-san after that?
**[10:13] Police B**
The person who brought him here, Kinbara
Takuzo-san, said he'd take care of him.
**[10:20] Kogoro**
If we can find that person, we'll know
what happened during your blank year.
**[10:24] Conan**
And probably whoever holds a grudge
against you over a misunderstanding.
**[10:29] Esaka**
I'm afraid of a possible misunderstanding,
**[10:32] Esaka**
but if Kinbara-san took care of
me, then I need to thank him.
**[10:39] Conan**
This is the place.
**[10:42] Sign**
Kinbara Takuzo & Tae
**[10:44] Tae**
*Yes?*
**[10:45] Kogoro**
I'm Mori, a detective.
**[10:48] Tae**
*I see. One moment, please.*
**[10:55] Kinbara**
Taro-kun?
**[10:57] Conan**
Looks like this guy is Kinbara-san.
**[11:00] Kogoro**
But didn't he just call him Taro-kun?
**[11:06] Tae**
Thank you for waiting.
**[11:08] Tae**
Taro-kun?
**[11:10] Tae**
Where have you been this past week?
**[11:13] Esaka**
Taro? My name is Esaka Ritsuo.
**[11:19] Tae**
Could it be?
**[11:21] Kinbara**
Your amnesia's been cured?
**[11:24] Conan**
Since not having a name for you was inconvenient,
they must've temporarily named you Taro-san.
**[11:30] Kinbara**
Yeah, Koneru Taro-kun.
**[11:34] Tae**
That's right.
**[11:39] Esaka**
I'm sorry, but I have no memory at all
**[11:44] Esaka**
of being called that or
you taking care of me.
**[11:49] Kinbara**
What?
***SIGN*** Kinbara Takuzo (71)
Bicycle Parking Lot Employee
**[11:55] Kinbara**
I see. I understand.
***SIGN*** Kinbara Tae (70)
Takuzo's Wife
**[11:58] Tae**
Your amnesia's been cured, and instead...
**[12:03] Kanehara**
You lost your memories of the past year.
**[12:06] Kogoro**
We came because we wanted to know
how Esaka-kun spent that year.
**[12:12] Kanehara**
So that's how it is. In that case,
let's invite them over, too.
**[12:18] Tae**
I'm sure they'll come running.
**[12:30] Esaka**
A-Are they angry?
**[12:32] Esaka**
Then there's no mistaking it.
**[12:33] Esaka**
I must've done something
to incur their enmity!
**[12:41] Kogoro**
* Does everyone here have a*
* grudge against Esaka-kun?*
**[12:57] Hida**
How dare you suddenly vanish like that.
**[13:00] Hida**
We've been worried about you this past week.
**[13:03] Esaka**
Worried?
**[13:06] Toko**
But I'm glad you're all right.
**[13:09] Mamoru**
And that you remembered who
you are and where you're from.
**[13:13] Hida**
It's a little sad that you
don't remember us, though.
**[13:19] Esaka**
I'm sorry.
**[13:23] Kinbara**
Let me reintroduce you. This is Hida
Keisuke-kun, the construction company president.
***SIGN*** Hida Keisuke (53)
Construction Company Manager
**[13:27] Hida**
Welcome back, Taro-kun.
**[13:29] Kinbara**
Mizutani Toko-san from
the Koneru Credit Union.
***SIGN*** Mizutani Toko (26)
Bank Employee
**[13:33] Toko**
I'm glad to be able to talk to you again.
**[13:35] Kanehara**
Cram school student Chimura Mamoru-kun.
***SIGN*** Chimura Mamoru (20)
Cram School Student
**[13:38] Mamoru**
It's kind of embarrassing
to be formally reintroduced.
**[13:41] Kinbara**
These three from the neighborhood took
pity on you and your memory loss,
**[13:45] Kinbara**
so they helped out here and there.
**[13:47] Tae**
They kept encouraging and supporting you.
**[13:50] Hida**
You did more than any of us, Kinbara-san.
**[13:52] Hida**
You looked after him since you consider
yourself the steward of the neighborhood.
**[13:56] Mamoru**
All I did was ask my dad for a little favor.
**[13:59] Kinbara**
Mamoru-kun's father let you
live in an apartment he owns,
**[14:03] Kinbara**
and you worked at Hida-kun's
construction company.
**[14:06] Hida**
At construction sites all around the city.
**[14:11] Conan**
So that's why you went all
kinds of places every day.
**[14:14] Tae**
Toko-san frequently brought
you meals when she cooked.
**[14:20] Toko**
It's embarrassing. I'm not much of a cook.
**[14:25] Conan**
So Esaka-san owes these
people a great deal, too.
**[14:31] Kogoro**
Sounds like you were living with support
**[14:34] Kogoro**
from the goodwill of the kind-hearted
Kinbaras and these three.
**[14:39] Esaka**
Yeah.
**[14:49] Esaka**
Thank you for the past year.
**[14:57] Toko**
I'm so glad you're doing well.
**[15:02] Esaka**
I don't know how to thank you.
**[15:05] Kogoro**
We've learned how you spent the past year,
**[15:08] Kogoro**
but one question remains.
**[15:12] Kogoro**
This afternoon, Esaka-kun was nearly
killed by someone here in Koneru City.
**[15:21] Esaka**
Did anyone have a grudge against me?
**[15:27] Hida**
Of course not.
**[15:29] Kinbara**
People loved you. You did nothing
to make people hate you.
**[15:33] Toko**
That's right. You're
overthinking it, Taro-san.
**[15:37] Kogoro**
Then it really must be a misunderstanding.
**[15:40] Hida**
That's inconceivable, too.
**[15:42] Hida**
You're probably imagining that
someone tried to kill you.
**[15:45] Kinbara**
I can only assume that's the case.
**[15:47] Kogoro**
But...
**[15:48] Esaka**
Maybe it was just my imagination.
**[15:52] Conan**
If the people close to you say so, then
maybe nobody has a grudge against you.
**[15:58] Kogoro**
Maybe you weren't pushed.
**[16:00] Kogoro**
Maybe someone just happened to bump into you.
**[16:06] Hida**
That's right! More importantly,
we need to celebrate.
**[16:10] Toko**
After all, you're doing well.
**[16:12] Mamoru**
And you've recovered from your amnesia.
**[16:18] Kinbara**
Do you drink?
**[16:19] Kogoro**
I enjoy a bit now and then.
**[16:23] Conan**
*Oh, you enjoy it endlessly.*
**[16:31] Conan**
We don't have to wait for Kinbara-san's wife?
**[16:35] Toko**
Tae-san's frail. She's
always in and out of bed.
**[16:39] Esaka**
I made someone like that
worry this past week?
**[16:45] Esaka**
If only I'd visited sooner.
**[16:47] Kogoro**
Aren't you glad you didn't run away earlier?
**[16:51] Hida**
You tried to run?
**[16:53] Esaka**
Mori-san!
**[16:59] Amano**
No, Shi-chan! No!
**[17:02] Amano**
I'm sorry.
**[17:05] Amano**
Come on.
**[17:08] Esaka**
I don't like dogs.
**[17:11] Esaka**
Especially not barking
dogs like Shishimaru.
**[17:16] Esaka**
A stray bit me on the butt
when I was in kindergarten.
**[17:20] Esaka**
Since then, I've been afraid of dogs.
**[17:23] Kanehara**
Shishimaru?
**[17:25] Kanehara**
You remembered Amano-san's dog Shishimaru?
**[17:33] Conan**
You may not like dogs, but one
helped you remember something.
**[17:37] Kogoro**
See? Shock therapy is effective.
**[17:42] Esaka**
The memories that had been completely
closed off to me are returning.
**[17:46] Sign**
Yakitori Izakaya
**[18:01] Esaka**
It's no use.
**[18:02] Esaka**
I thought I'd be able to remember something
besides the dog's name, but I can't.
**[18:07] Kanehara**
It's all right. You don't
have to try so hard. Right?
**[18:12] All**
Yeah.
**[18:17] Hida**
We called your phone a bunch
of times, but no one answered.
**[18:22] Esaka**
I think I lost it when I fell
down the station stairs.
**[18:26] Conan**
Mister, you lose your phone all
the time when you get drunk.
**[18:39] Mamoru**
It's rumbling out there.
It'll probably strike again.
**[18:44] Esaka**
Thunder...
**[18:45] Conan**
You don't like thunder either?
**[18:48] Esaka**
It's not that.
**[18:49] Esaka**
I felt like I remembered a scene
of particular interest to me.
**[18:54] Esaka**
I wonder what it was. Thunder... dogs...
**[18:58] Conan**
Dogs have something to do with it, too?
**[19:00] Kogoro**
Then that's not a memory, it's a desire.
**[19:04] Kogoro**
You wish dogs would be struck by
lightning and burnt to a crisp.
**[19:11] Toko**
How cruel, Mori-san. How could you wish
for dogs to be struck by lightning?
**[19:16] Kogoro**
Oh, no. I was just speaking for Esaka-kun.
**[19:20] Esaka**
Not even I'd wish for that.
**[19:23] Kinbara**
I'm going to pop home for a minute.
**[19:26] Kinbara**
I'm worried if she's remembered
to take her medicine.
**[19:29] Hida**
Kinbara-san really loves his wife.
**[19:32] Conan**
I see.
**[19:35] Mamoru**
It looks like rain.
**[19:37] Kinbara**
There's that, too, so I thought I'd
go get umbrellas for everyone.
**[19:45] Esaka**
He really is a nice person.
**[19:48] Hida**
That's why he took care of
you when you were at a loss.
**[19:52] Esaka**
Not just Kinbara-san. All of you, too.
**[19:59] Esaka**
I wish I could remember.
**[20:01] Kogoro**
You will eventually.
**[20:04] Conan**
Something will make you remember.
**[20:17] Esaka**
They're right.
**[20:19] Esaka**
I'm sure something will make me remember.

***SIGN*** Two Days Later
**[21:17] Kogoro**
It's been two days.
**[21:19] Kogoro**
Maybe he's been able to remember something.
**[21:21] Conan**
Should we try shock therapy
again if he hasn't?
**[21:26] Kogoro**
That's one way to do it.
**[21:30] Kogoro**
Didn't he say it's up ahead?
**[21:34] Kogoro**
Huh?
**[21:35] Kogoro**
Inspector!
**[21:37] Takagi**
Mori-san.
**[21:38] Megure**
You again?
**[21:41] Kogoro**
I know someone who lives at this apartment.
**[21:43] Conan**
What happened?
**[21:47] Kogoro**
C-Could it be?
**[21:50] Conan**
Esaka-san?
**[21:52] Takagi**
Then your acquaintance must be...
**[21:54] Megure**
The autopsy revealed that he died last
night around 7PM after consuming a poison.
**[22:00] Megure**
Judging by the circumstances, it
was almost certainly a suicide.
**[22:03] Kogoro**
Suicide?
**[22:07] Megure**
Apparently he regretted
some bad choices he made.
**[22:12] Kogoro**

What we believe is a suicide
note was left on that computer.
**[23:48] Sign**
Though it's been six months, I can't escape my guilt.
The only apology I can offer is death.

You said it was locked.
**[23:53] Conan**
Was the door chain on the
front door locked, too?
**[23:56] Takagi**
No, the chain wasn't locked,
**[23:59] Takagi**
but both keys were here.
**[24:02] Takagi**
One in the back of the desk drawer,
and one in that jacket pocket.
**[24:07] Conan**
Hey, listen.
