**[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...
