[00:00] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But the world is even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:06] ---
    Today is finally Masked Yaiba!
    Inside the costume is an incident!
[00:10] ---
    He sees the single truth for what it is,
[00:12] ---
    and looks like a kid
    but has the mind of an adult!
[01:51] ---
    "The Masked Yaiba Murder Case."
[01:58] ---
    Oh? You're eating out today, Conan-kun?
[02:02] ---
    Yeah, I'm meeting them
    in front of this shrine at 6:00.
[02:06] ---
    You're so lucky. Is it eel?
[02:09] ---
    No, I think a good curry
    restaurant opened up near here.
[02:13] ---
    I love curry!
[02:15] ---
    Let's eat, too!
[02:18] ---
    I want a jumbo fried shrimp curry!
[02:20] ---
    Geez, you guys...
[02:30] ---
    The Laser Police!
[02:33] ---
    Laser Police?
[02:35] ---
    The police squad in Masked Yaiba!
[02:39] ---
    H-Hi, kids. Are you fans of Masked Yaiba?
[02:43] ---
    I love Masked Yaiba!
[02:45] ---
    Does this mean they're
    filming Masked Yaiba at this shrine?!
[02:49] ---
    Oh, no, it's not like that...
[02:52] ---
    This gun's so cool!
[02:54] ---
    Don't touch that!
[02:57] ---
    Sorry!
[02:58] ---
    This gun is important for
    fighting monsters, so only I can touch it.
[03:03] ---
    Bye!
[03:08] ---
    What's the big deal?
[03:10] ---
    Conan-kun! Been waiting long?
[03:12] ---
    No, I just got here.
[03:19] ---
    What's with you guys?
[03:21] ---
    They want to eat curry with us!
[03:23] ---
    What?!
[03:24] ---
    Oh, come on! The more the merrier!
[03:28] ---
    And who's gonna pay for 'em?
[03:30] ---
    You.
[03:32] ---
    Oh, but call your moms first,
    so they won't worry!
[03:37] ---
    Okay!
[03:41] ---
    Geez!
[03:42] ---
    What kind of parents are they,
    all saying, "That would be great!"?!
[03:47] ---
    Look!
[03:50] ---
    It's Masked Yaiba!
[03:57] ---
    Yaiba Kick!
[04:01] ---
    Awesome! Awesome!
[04:02] ---
    So cool!
[04:03] ---
    This is like a dream!
[04:05] ---
    First the Laser Police, and now
    Masked Yaiba? What's with today?
[04:11] ---
    Oh! Aren't you Mori Kogoro-san,
    the great detective?!
[04:15] ---
    Yes, that's me...
[04:17] ---
    Wow! This is incredible!
    I'm a big fan! Let me shake your hand!
[04:22] ---
    Look! He's shaking
    hands with Masked Yaiba!
[04:27] ---
    No, I'm not the real Masked Yaiba.
[04:31] ---
    Tsutsumi Yasuyuki (21) Jonan University, Law Dept.
[04:32] ---
    I'm Tsutsumi Yasuyuki,
[04:34] ---
    and I'm a member of a college fan club.
[04:37] ---
    He's right! He isn't Masked Yaiba!
[04:40] ---
    Yes, the real one
    looks a lot more handsome.
[04:45] ---
    Sorry for disappointing you.
[04:47] ---
    Then that other person was also...
[04:50] ---
    Say! Want to come to a party?
[04:53] ---
    Party?
[04:54] ---
    Our fan club is having a costume party!
[04:58] ---
    Wow! That sounds like fun!
[05:01] ---
    I'd love to go!
[05:02] ---
    Go! Go!
[05:03] ---
    Now I won't have
    to pay for their food!
[05:06] ---
    You're invited too, Mori-san!
    There'll be beer, too!
[05:10] ---
    B-Beer?! I'd love to! I'd love to!
[05:13] ---
    Now you won't have to pay for your beer!
[05:16] ---
    The party is in the basement of this mansion!
[05:21] ---
    Look at all the monsters!
[05:23] ---
    Even Monkeyshroom
    and Pork-n-Bones are here!
[05:26] ---
    The Mole Alien, too!
[05:29] ---
    Mori-san. Let me introduce you.
[05:32] ---
    This is our club's president,
    Saotome Madoka-san. This is her house.
[05:38] ---
    Are you a college student?
[05:40] ---
    Yes! I'm in my third year studying literature!
[05:40] ---
    Saotome Madoka (21) Shirakaba Women's College
[05:43] ---
    It's an honor to speak with the great Mori-san!
[05:47] ---
    It's my pleasure!
[05:48] ---
    I can recount my humble exploits
    anytime you want, day or night!
[05:54] ---
    Do you know who
    she's dressed up as?
[05:57] ---
    Yeah! Natsume Rei, right?
[05:59] ---
    Correct! You must tune in a lot!
[06:02] ---
    Have you ever watched
    Masked Yaiba, Mori-san?
[06:05] ---
    I'd really like to, but I'm so
    busy with work that time of day...
[06:10] ---
    More like drinking that time of day...
[06:13] ---
    Masked Yaiba is really a young
    man who sells hot dogs at the park
[06:17] ---
    with Natsume Rei,
    his childhood friend!
[06:21] ---
    Each time an incident occurs,
    he rushes there on his motorcycle
[06:25] ---
    and fights the
    evil bad guys and aliens!
[06:28] ---
    But Natsume Rei doesn't
    know his secret identity!
[06:32] ---
    So he's always ditching work
    to rush off on his motorcycle!
[06:37] ---
    Even so, Natsume Rei
    forgives him with gentle feelings!
[06:44] ---
    For some reason,
    I somehow know how that feels...
[06:48] ---
    Come to think of it, that does
    sound kind of like me and Ran...
[06:52] ---
    Okay, everyone! Let's go to
    the tables! We have some juice!
[06:57] ---
    Yay!
[06:59] ---
    What about me, Madoka-san?
[07:01] ---
    She loves kids.
[07:03] ---
    Oh, I wish I could be a kid again!
[07:06] ---
    I wish I could be an adult again!
[07:14] ---
    Hey there, Honda! You're late!
[07:17] ---
    Yeah, sorry. It took longer than I thought.
[07:17] ---
    Honda Osamu (21) Jonan Univ., Engineering Dept.
[07:21] ---
    He's that other guy. I guess
    he is a member of the fan club.
[07:26] ---
    Huh? Why're you dressed like that?
[07:28] ---
    I thought I'd change things up a bit.
[07:31] ---
    What a shock. You've only ever
    dressed as Masked Yaiba before.
[07:36] ---
    Oh, yeah! This is Mori Kogoro-san,
    the famous detective!
[07:41] ---
    M-Mori?
[07:44] ---
    He's Honda Osamu. He's in his
    third year of engineering at Jonan U.
[07:49] ---
    He's only been in the club half a year,
[07:52] ---
    but he's a very
    passionate Masked Yaiba fan!
[07:55] ---
    That gun wouldn't
    happen to be real, would it?
[08:00] ---
    Don't be silly! It's only
    a model! See for yourself!
[08:04] ---
    I bet it's well-made!
    He's a real gun fanatic!
[08:10] ---
    The texture and weight are impressive...
[08:15] ---
    The bullets are all blanks.
    The barrel is plugged too, of course.
[08:20] ---
    Indeed.
[08:24] ---
    Mori-san! Won't you
    come and tell us a story?
[08:27] ---
    Yes, Madoka-san! Right away!
[08:31] ---
    What a nice reply.
[08:32] ---
    Yes.
[08:33] ---
    Come over to the tables, too!
[08:36] ---
    Okay!
[08:41] ---
    Honda!
[08:46] ---
    Mishima Katsuji (21) Toto University, P.E. Dept.
[08:46] ---
    I've had enough! Get ready, Honda! I'm gonna kill you!
[08:54] ---
    Mishima-kun?!
[08:55] ---
    W-Wait, Mishima! What did I ever do?!
[08:59] ---
    I can't stand you anymore!
[09:02] ---
    Calm down, Mishima! Let's talk it over!
[09:04] ---
    Shut up! Die!
[09:11] ---
    Honda-kun!
[09:19] ---
    No!
[09:19] ---
    Stop, Conan-kun!
[09:20] ---
    Mishima!
[09:33] ---
    What the hell?!
[09:46] ---
    What?!
[09:55] ---
    A bulletproof vest...
[09:57] ---
    Wearing this saved me...
[10:02] ---
    Honda!
[10:02] ---
    Honda-kun! Are you okay?!
[10:04] ---
    Don't move!
[10:10] ---
    There's no burn mark on his temple!
[10:14] ---
    Come to think of it, he kept the
    gun away from his head when he shot.
[10:19] ---
    Why?
[10:23] ---
    The deceased is
    Mishima Katsuji-san, age 21.
[10:27] ---
    A third year student at Toto U.'s
    physical education department.
[10:30] ---
    Inspector.
[10:32] ---
    This was a genuine suicide.
[10:34] ---
    After all, we all witnessed it.
[10:40] ---
    Still... this is a rather odd sight...
[10:45] ---
    The Laser Police always wear
    these vests when fighting monsters,
[10:52] ---
    so I bought one
    from a security store.
[10:55] ---
    So, convinced he'd killed you,
[10:58] ---
    Mishima-san then
    shot himself in the head?
[11:02] ---
    But why would he try to kill you?
[11:06] ---
    That's because...
[11:09] ---
    Inspector.
[11:10] ---
    Honda-kun and Mishima-*kun
    *were actually very good friends.
[11:14] ---
    So what happened?
[11:16] ---
    About ten days ago,
    when we had gathered to plan this party,
[11:21] ---
    Mishima-kun got mad at an
    off-hand comment by Honda-kun
[11:25] ---
    and stormed out.
[11:28] ---
    What did you say to him?
[11:31] ---
    I told him, "Your motorcycle is lame."
[11:35] ---
    That's it?!
[11:36] ---
    That's absurd! Nobody would
    be driven to murder because of that!
[11:41] ---
    No, it's not as crazy as it sounds.
[11:45] ---
    He was especially obsessive
    about Masked Yaiba, even among us.
[11:51] ---
    He spent half a year
    remodeling a normal motorcycle
[11:53] ---
    into a Masked Yaiba motorcycle.
[11:56] ---
    So I can understand why making
    fun of it would make him mad.
[12:02] ---
    I see...
[12:04] ---
    I guess that's the
    only way to explain it.
[12:07] ---
    His explanation seems truthful enough.
    But something bugs me!
[12:13] ---
    There's something
    about this incident!
[12:16] ---
    Inspector Megure.
    The gun was a modified model gun.
[12:21] ---
    The bullet in the bulletproof
    vest was also made by hand.
[12:25] ---
    Thank you.
[12:27] ---
    Was Mishima-*san
    *knowledgeable about guns at all?
[12:31] ---
    I don't believe so.
[12:34] ---
    He once asked me the difference
    between automatics and revolvers.
[12:39] ---
    Come to think of it, do all
    Masked Yaiba members...?
[12:45] ---
    Hey, what characters
    in Masked Yaiba carry guns?
[12:49] ---
    Only the Laser Police carry guns, duh!
[12:54] ---
    Masked Yaiba himself doesn't?
[12:56] ---
    Conan-kun! Masked Yaiba
    has no need for guns!
[13:00] ---
    He always fights with his bare hands!
[13:03] ---
    I thought so!
[13:05] ---
    Still, that leaves
    too many things unclear...
[13:09] ---
    It sure is shocking to see
    something like this happen, though.
[13:14] ---
    That's for sure. I guess TV dramas
    aren't entirely fiction after all.
[13:20] ---
    Dramas? Acting?
[13:28] ---
    All the mysteries connect now!
[13:31] ---
    This was a murder!
[13:34] ---
    
[13:40] ---
    If my theory is correct,
    it solves all the mysteries.
[13:46] ---
    Damn... Committing
    a murder right in front of me...
[13:51] ---
    Unforgivable!
[13:53] ---
    Proof! I need to find undeniable proof!
[13:58] ---
    That's it! As I recall--!
[14:01] ---
    Genta! Let me borrow your
    Detective League badge for a minute!
[14:05] ---
    Huh? Mine?
[14:09] ---
    Mori-san did?
[14:10] ---
    Yeah... he asked me to get it examined
    right away. Says it's urgent.
[14:19] ---
    Inspector, I'd like to
    take Honda to the hospital...
[14:22] ---
    Oh, right.
[14:25] ---
    Even with the bulletproof vest on,
    he was shot from close range.
[14:29] ---
    He could have a cracked rib.
    Let's drive him there right away.
[14:35] ---
    Huh? W-Why--?
[14:40] ---
    Not so fast, Inspector.
[14:42] ---
    Please wait until later
    to take him to the hospital.
[14:46] ---
    Allow me to solve the mystery
    of this detestable murder for you.
[14:51] ---
    What're you talking about, Mori-kun?
[14:54] ---
    Didn't Mishima-san commit suicide?
[14:56] ---
    No... this was a bonafide murder.
[15:00] ---
    Plotted by a certain
    someone from the start.
[15:03] ---
    Come again?!
[15:05] ---
    This someone suggested to Mishima-san
[15:09] ---
    that they act out a little play
    to surprise everyone at the party.
[15:15] ---
    Act?
[15:16] ---
    In it, Mishima-san would pretend
    to shoot someone, then kill himself.
[15:24] ---
    To lay the groundwork for this,
    they had a fake argument beforehand.
[15:31] ---
    Yes... that someone was you,
    Honda Osamu-san!
[15:41] ---
    What?
[15:42] ---
    First, you modified two
    model guns of the same type
[15:47] ---
    and prepared two types of bullets.
[15:50] ---
    One type was a real lead bullet.
    The other was an empty "blank."
[15:57] ---
    You initially gave Mishima-*san
    *the gun with the blanks.
[16:02] ---
    Today, before the party began,
    you met him at the Beika Shrine
[16:08] ---
    and switched his gun
    with the gun with real bullets...
[16:14] ---
    Probably by saying
    you were doing final checks.
[16:18] ---
    Then the gun on Honda-san's
    hip is Mishima-san's?!
[16:23] ---
    No, wait. Wasn't the
    barrel of that gun plugged?
[16:30] ---
    Plus, the gun with
    real bullets wasn't plugged...
[16:34] ---
    Wouldn't Mishima-san have noticed?
[16:37] ---
    No... the gun he handed
    Mishima-san wasn't plugged.
[16:43] ---
    He plugged it after the switch,
[16:45] ---
    so he wouldn't
    rouse suspicion after the fact.
[16:48] ---
    Honda-san dressed
    up as a Laser Police member
[16:51] ---
    instead of his usual
    choice of Masked Yaiba
[16:55] ---
    because it wouldn't seem
    strange for a Laser Police member
[16:59] ---
    to carry a gun and
    wear a bulletproof vest.
[17:03] ---
    When Mishima-san jumped down,
[17:06] ---
    you moved as if taking
    us out of harm's way,
[17:10] ---
    but it was actually to make
    you an easier target for him.
[17:15] ---
    B-But, Mori-san!
[17:17] ---
    Wouldn't Mishima know something
    was up if a real bullet came out?
[17:23] ---
    He and Honda-*san
    *had probably done rehearsals
[17:25] ---
    in which he would pretend to be
    hit the same time the gun sounded.
[17:31] ---
    So, after seeing Honda-*san
    *being "hit" this time,
[17:34] ---
    Mishima-san believed it was
    just like it was during rehearsal.
[17:39] ---
    It's your so-called "autosuggestion."
[17:42] ---
    But do you have any evidence
    that he didn't commit suicide?
[17:47] ---
    If you were to kill yourself by
    putting a gun to your head and firing,
[17:52] ---
    burn marks would be left on your head.
[17:55] ---
    However, there were none on Mishima-san.
[17:58] ---
    Even with blanks,
    it still produces a small flame.
[18:01] ---
    Which is why he held the
    gun slightly away from his head,
[18:05] ---
    to prevent being burned.
[18:07] ---
    You can't be sure about that!
    He was a weird guy!
[18:12] ---
    Then allow me to show you some proof.
[18:15] ---
    Examiner!
[18:19] ---
    Another set of fingerprints not
    belonging to the late Mishima-san
[18:25] ---
    was found on this gun.
[18:27] ---
    They also match the
    child's fingerprints on this badge.
[18:31] ---
    Oh! That badge!
[18:33] ---
    That's Genta-kun's!
[18:35] ---
    Which means...
[18:37] ---
    ...I'm the killer?
[18:39] ---
    Genta-kun! When did you
    touch Mishima-san's gun?!
[18:44] ---
    I-I didn't!
[18:46] ---
    Yes.
[18:47] ---
    If Genta didn't touch Mishima-san's gun,
    how did his prints get on it?
[18:54] ---
    The answer to that is... Conan!
[18:56] ---
    Right!
[18:58] ---
    Honda-san.
[18:59] ---
    You ran into us at the Beika Shrine
    before coming here, right?
[19:02] ---
    And then Genta...
[19:04] ---
    This gun's so cool!
[19:06] ---
    Don't touch that!
[19:08] ---
    H-He touched it then?
[19:12] ---
    The fact you had Mishima-san's gun then
[19:17] ---
    is evidence that
    you switched your guns later!
[19:23] ---
    Honda-kun...
[19:25] ---
    Mori-san. When did
    you start to suspect me?
[19:31] ---
    Tsutsumi-san said that
    you were a real gun aficionado.
[19:35] ---
    Yet, you had a plugged gun.
    That seemed odd to me.
[19:40] ---
    I see. Plugging the gun to be
    extra safe proved to be my downfall...
[19:49] ---
    Mishima...
    killed my kid brother!
[19:55] ---
    Two years ago, my brother Hiroshi
    was heading to a friend's house
[19:59] ---
    To Hiroshi-kun
[20:00] ---
    with a Masked Yaiba signboard
[20:02] ---
    that he won in a magazine contest.
[20:11] ---
    Wait! Give it back!
[20:17] ---
    Hiroshi died two days later.
[20:22] ---
    His final words were,
    "Get Masked Yaiba to catch him..."
[20:28] ---
    I joined a number of Masked Yaiba
    fan clubs to gather information
[20:33] ---
    and figure out who stole it!
[20:37] ---
    Then, half a year ago...
[20:40] ---
    ...Mishima finally
    showed me that signboard!
[20:43] ---
    He said his older brother
    had won it and given it to him!
[20:48] ---
    But he doesn't have
    a brother named Hiroshi!
[20:52] ---
    So then you got your revenge on him?
[20:56] ---
    Inspector, it's not
    discussed in the TV drama,
[20:59] ---
    but Masked Yaiba has a back
    story in which his sister was killed.
[21:05] ---
    I joined fan clubs to kill the person
    who drove my brother to death,
[21:13] ---
    but at some point, I began
    to feel just like Masked Yaiba.
[21:18] ---
    You and Masked Yaiba are nothing alike!
[21:22] ---
    Masked Yaiba doesn't fight for revenge!
[21:25] ---
    Yeah! He fights for justice!
[21:29] ---
    Yes, the children are right.
[21:32] ---
    It's a shame you were that
    wrong about Masked Yaiba all along.
[23:22] ---
    Oh! Yoko-chan's on
    a music show starting at 7:30!
[23:27] ---
    Oh, but we're watching
    Masked Yaiba at 7:30.
[23:31] ---
    What?! We never watch that junk!
[23:35] ---
    We decided to watch it starting tonight!
[23:37] ---
    After all, Masked Yaiba fights for justice!
    We gotta support him!
[23:43] ---
    Right, Conan-kun?
[23:46] ---
    Don't be stupid!
    What about Yoko-chan?!
[23:49] ---
    What about her?
[23:50] ---
    S-She's sings for me!
[23:56] ---
    This old guy's gonna live a long life...
[24:05] ---
    T-That was President Yamazaki!
[24:11] ---
    What's this sticky stuff?!
[24:14] ---
    So it was a completely locked room...
[24:17] ---
    This might not have been an accident!
[24:20] ---
    It's possible it was a murder
    plotted by one of these people!
[24:25] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Honey Cocktail Murder Case."
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
    Balloon.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode's case tastes like honey.
[24:53] ---
    Sweetie!
[24:53] ---
    What? Why?
[24:54] ---
    Didn't you call me honey?
