SIGN    Tokiwa Hot Springs
[00:00] ---
    
[00:18] Shukichi
    Come in.
[00:20] Woman
    Taiko Meijin, it's nearly time.
[00:24] Shukichi
    Don't call me that.
[00:26] Shukichi
    I'm about to win that title.
[00:29] Woman
    But everyone already calls you Taiko Meijin.
[00:33] Woman
    You've already won the other six titles.
[00:37] Shukichi
    One can't be too careful.
[00:40] Shukichi
    I've taken this Meijin match to a 3-3 tie,
[00:45] Shukichi
    but I barely beat the Meijin
    in yesterday's final game.
[00:51] Woman
    But the commentators said you have the
    advantage because you beat his attack.
[00:57] Woman
    And the Meijin seemed
    unsure of his sealed move.
[01:01] Shukichi
    R-Really?
[01:05] Woman
    Oh, a photo.
[01:06] Woman
    Is this your girlfriend?
[01:07] Shukichi
    S-Something like that.
[01:12] Shukichi
    Yumi-tan...
[01:14] Yumi
    That weird envelope? It's gone.
SIGN    Two Days Ago
[01:19] Shukichi
    What?
[01:20] Yumi
    You never called me after that.
[01:25] Shukichi
    Wh-When I gave it to you, didn't I tell you
    not to open it until I got all seven?
[01:31] Yumi
    Yeah, so I threw it away unopened.
[01:35] Shukichi
    You threw it away?!
[01:36] Shukichi
    I meant for you to hold onto it!
[01:41] Yumi
    Anyway, why'd you invite out this
    beautiful policewoman on her day off?
[01:48] Shukichi
    What? Oh...
[01:50] Shukichi
    I'm about to get all seven, so I wanted
    to make sure you had the envelope.
[01:58] Yumi
    That's all?
[01:59] Shukichi
    W-Well, yes.
[02:02] Shukichi
    For now.
[02:05] Yumi
    I'm leaving!
[02:06] Shukichi
    Y-Yumi-tan?
[02:07] Shukcihi
    W-Wait!
[02:09] Man
    Huh? Are you Taiko Meijin?
[02:11] Shukichi
    What?
[02:12] Man
    It is you.
[02:14] Man
    I'm a huge fan.
[02:16] Man
    Could I get your autograph?
[02:18] Woman
    Thank you.
[02:20] Shukichi
    Huh?
[02:22] Shukichi
    Yumi-tan!
[02:27] Shukichi
    Yumi-tan!
[02:30] Culprit
    Let's play a game, Haneda Shukichi.
[02:40] Conan
    Propelled forward by the
    years spent together.
[02:42] Conan
    Charging full speed ahead
    without slowing the pace.
[02:44] Conan
    A cowardly letter about a kidnapping leaves
    everyone pondering the match and the case.
[02:48] Conan
    Always determining the one truth with the
    body of a child and the mind of an adult,
[02:51] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    Taiko Meijin's Match of Love
    (Part One)
[04:33] Conan
    "Taiko Meijin's Match of Love, Part One!"
[04:42] Conan
    It's nearly time.
[04:44] Mitsuhiko
    Nearly time?
[04:45] Ayumi
    Time for what?
[04:47] Conan
    You guys met him once.
[04:50] Conan
    Taiko Meijin, Haneda Shukichi's
    Meijin title match.
[04:54] Conan
    Apparently the only title
    he's missing is Meijin.
[04:58] Agasa
    He has a Sextuple Crown?
[05:01] Genta
    Is that like baseball's Triple Crown?
[05:05] Conan
    Yeah. Once he regains the Meijin title
    today, he'll have a Septuple Crown.
[05:09] Conan
    He'll be the second person
    to achieve the feat.
[05:12] Mitsuhiko
    Then the seven Yumi-san
    mentioned before...
[05:16] Ayumi
    Is that what it is?
[05:18] Conan
    Yeah, probably.
[05:19] Mitsuhiko
    Since he'll have all seven, she'll
    know what's inside the envelope.
[05:25] Ayumi
    I wonder what's inside.
[05:27] Haibara
    Probably a marriage registration form.
[05:33] Mitsuhiko
    Is Yumi-san getting married?!
[05:35] Ayumi
    That's amazing!
[05:37] Conan
    We don't know that yet.
[05:44] Conan
    Hello?
[05:46] Sera
    Hey, Conan-kun. How are you?
[05:49] Conan
    Sera-no-neechan?
[05:51] Conan
    What's going on?
[05:53] Sera
    I just moved to a new hotel.
[05:56] Sera
    I was wondering if you
    wanted to come hang out.
[05:59] Sera
    I'm at the Hotel Hyde Pride.
[06:01] Sera
    It's pretty close to the detective agency.
[06:04] Conan
    I can't. I'm in a car right now.
[06:08] Sera
    What? Did something happen?
[06:11] Conan
    No. We're just visiting power spots together.
[06:15] Woman
    Taiko Meijin. Taiko Meijin!
[06:18] Woman
    Taiko Meijin!
[06:20] Shukichi
    I'm not a Meijin, and the
    game is about to start.
[06:25] Woman
    But I was told to give this to you before
    you resumed playing on the second day.
[06:30] Shukichi
    A letter?
[06:32] Woman
    A strange man delivered it yesterday morning.
[06:36] Woman
    He said you'd accept it once
    you saw who it was from.
SIGN    Miyamoto Yumi
[06:40] Shukichi
    It's from Yumi-tan?!
[06:44] Shukichi
    But why would she write me a letter?
[06:49] Man
    It's time to reveal the sealed move.
[06:58] Man
    The sealed move is 5-6 silver.
[07:16] Shukichi
    I need to think.
[07:24] Man
    Sextuple Crown Haneda!
[07:28] Man
    Wh-Where are you going,
    Sextuple Crown Haneda?
[07:32] Shukichi
    To Tokyo, please.
[07:33] Man
    Huh?
[07:35] Man
    What?
[07:42] Culprit
    I have your girlfriend.
[07:45] Culprit
    If you want to save her, you
    must decipher my game record.
[07:49] Culprit
    I'll wait until your clock time runs out.
[07:52] Culprit
    Don't tell anyone. Don't contact the police.
[07:55] Culprit
    Signed, the Headless Shogi Player.
[07:59] Culprit
    First game.
[08:01] Culprit
    One of seven shrines is attacked by thieves.
[08:04] Culprit
    The sanctuary is emptied on the second day.
[08:06] Culprit
    The priest's daughter hiding in
    the well is kidnapped as well.
[08:11] Culprit
    See enclosed photo.
[08:17] Shukichi
    Y-Yumi-san...
[08:23] Shukichi
    I used four hours and two minutes
    in the final game of the first day.
[08:28] Shukichi
    Even with the hour I took for lunch,
    I still have less than six hours.
[08:33] Shukichi
    I'm sorry for making you wait again.
[08:36] Shukichi
    But I promise...
[08:38] Shukichi
    I promise I'll come for you, so wait for me!
[08:53] Shukichi
    This should be the right place,
    but where is the well?
[08:59] Shukichi
    Four hours and ten minutes left.
[09:02] Shukichi
    I need to find the well before then.
[09:05] Conan
    Huh? Taiko Meijin.
[09:07] Shukichi
    Y-You...
[09:09] Conan
    What's wrong? Isn't your Meijin match today?
[09:13] Shukichi
    Actually, I...
SIGN    Don't tell anyone
[09:18] Shukichi
    I-I just needed a change of pace.
[09:22] Agasa
    Isn't the match being held
    at a hotel in Yamanashi?
[09:27] Shukichi
    Yes, so I took two hours so
    I could come here to pray.
[09:32] Conan
    Wow, it's Taiko Mejin!
[09:35] Conan
    Can I have your autograph?
[09:36] Shukichi
    Whoa, whoa, whoa...
[09:38] Conan
    Come on, please?
[09:40] Man
    Huh? Isn't that Taiko Meijin?
[09:43] Woman
    Really? I'm a huge fan.
[09:46] Man
    No way. His Meijin match is today.
[09:50] Woman
    So it's just a lookalike?
[09:54] Conan
    See? Even if anyone's watching,
    it'll just look like we're fans.
[09:59] Conan
    There's no way you'd come here
    on the day of your match,
[10:03] Conan
    so people will think you're a lookalike.
[10:06] Shukichi
    You're right.
[10:08] Conan
    Could you tell me why you really came here
    while pretending to give me your autograph?
[10:14] Shukichi
    A-All right.
[10:16] Ayumi
    No way!
[10:17] Mitsuhiko
    Yumi-san was kidnapped?!
[10:19] Genta
    Seriously?! She was kidnapped?!
[10:23] Conan
    These kids...
[10:25] Conan
    Did you find anything at the well?
[10:28] Shukichi
    A-Actually, I don't know where it is.
[10:32] Shukichi
    Wait, you know where it is?
[10:36] Conan
    Yeah. There's only one well at this shrine.
[10:40] Conan
    In fact, we were just there.
[10:44] Conan
    Apparently visiting it brings you good luck.
SIGN    Haneda Shukichi's Clock Time
SIGN    3 Hours 58 Minutes Remaining
[10:58] Conan
    This shrine's best-known well is
    Kiyomasa's Well dug by Kato Kiyomasa.
[11:05] Shukichi
    Huh.
[11:06] Ayumi
    Kiyomasa served Hideyoshi.
[11:10] Mitsuhiko
    He was a valorous warrior.
[11:13] Mitsuhiko
    He's also known for building Kumamoto Castle.
[11:16] Genta
    He even beat a tiger once.
[11:19] Haibara
    A TV star who was using a photo of the well
    as her screen saver suddenly became popular,
[11:25] Haibara
    and now it's known as a
    power spot for good luck.
[11:31] Mitsuhiko
    But doesn't Taiko refer
    to Toyotomi Hideyoshi?
[11:34] Genta
    How do you not know that
    when you're Taiko Meijin?
[11:39] Ayumi
    Why?
[11:40] Shukichi
    Taiko is just a nickname.
[11:44] Agasa
    I don't get it, though.
[11:47] Agasa
    How do you know this text
    indicates this shrine?
[11:51] Agasa
    One of seven shrines is attacked by thieves.
[11:55] Agasa
    The sanctuary is emptied on the second day.
[11:57] Agasa
    The priest's daughter hiding in
    the well is kidnapped as well.
[12:02] Conan
    The seven refers to the
    seven major shogi titles.
SIGN    Meijin
[12:07] Conan
    Meijin, Ryuo, Kio, Osho, Oza, Kisei, and Oi.
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo Kio
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo Kio Osho
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo Kio Osho Oza
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo Kio Osho Oza Kisei
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo Kio Osho Oza Kisei Oi
[12:15] Conan
    The sender called himself
    the Headless Shogi Player,
[12:20] Conan
    and instructed him to
    decipher his game record.
[12:23] Conan
    Shogi was originally not about capturing your
    opponent's king, but stealing his treasure.
[12:32] Conan
    The empty sanctuary means the
    king or treasure has disappeared.
SIGN    Ryuo Kio Osho Oza Oi
[12:38] Conan
    Of the seven titles,
[12:40] Conan
    the two that don't contain the character
    for "king" are Meijin and Kisei.
SIGN    Meijin Ryuo Kio Osho Oza Kisei Oi
[12:44] Conan
    If it took two days for
    the treasure to disappear,
[12:47] Conan
    then it must be one of the
    matches played across two days:
SIGN    Kisei Match
[12:49] Conan
    the Meijin match, Ryuo match,
    Oi match, or Osho match.
SIGN    Meijin Match
    2 Days
[12:54] Conan
    The only title match without
    "king" in its name,
[12:56] Conan
    that's played across two
    days, is the Meijin match.
[12:59] Conan
    In other words, a shrine whose name
    contains "meijin," or Meiji Jingu.
SIGN    Meiji Jingu
[13:05] Conan
    Isn't that why you left your title
    match to come here, Taiko Meijin?
[13:11] Shukichi
    Y-Yes.
[13:12] Shukichi
    Since the priest's daughter hiding
    in the well was kidnapped,
[13:16] Shukichi
    I thought I could find a clue about
    Yumi-san's abduction around the shrine's well.
[13:22] Agasa
    The culprit said he'd wait
    until your time ran out.
[13:27] Agasa
    How long is that?
[13:29] Shukichi
    About three hours and fifty minutes.
[13:32] Haibara
    So our time limit is around 3 PM.
[13:36] Conan
    Then there's no time to waste.
[13:39] Conan
    Let's go back to Kiyomasa's Well.
[13:41] All
    Yeah!
[13:44] Shukichi
    If there's a line, I can wait by myself.
[13:48] Haibara
    It's okay. It was most popular a while ago.
[13:52] Haibara
    And Kiyomasa and Taiko both
    loved festivals and shogi.
[13:56] Haibara
    Maybe we'll gain something
    from going together.
[13:59] Haibara
    Though the real Taiko
    wasn't as strong as you.
[14:06] Man
    What? Sextuple Crown Haneda
    took a taxi to Tokyo?
[14:10] Man
    I-Is it true?
[14:12] Man
    Where did he go from there?
[14:14] Man
    I don't know.
[14:15] Man
    I've tried calling his phone,
    but he won't answer.
[14:19] Katsumata
    He doesn't have it.
[14:22] Katsumata
    An unspoken rule forbids him from
    using a cell phone during a match.
[14:29] Katsumata
    In our age, you can look up moves using
    cell phones, which are small computers.
[14:36] Katsumata
    I don't know what happened, but he said
    he needed to think before he left.
[14:43] Katsumata
    He hasn't thrown in the towel against
    Meijin Katsumata Chikara yet.
[14:50] Katsumata
    Let's wait for the man attempting to beat me,
[14:53] Katsumata
    take all seven titles,
    and become a living god.
[14:58] Genta
    Wow! There's a huge line.
[15:00] Ayumi
    There's even more people than before.
[15:03] Mitsuhiko
    We'll have to wait to see the well.
[15:06] Shukichi
    Sorry for getting you involved in this, kids.
[15:10] Shukichi
    I'm hopeless.
[15:12] Shukichi
    There's no waiting in shogi,
    but I've always made her wait.
[15:16] Shukichi
    I made Yumi-san wait when we met, too.
[15:19] Genta
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[15:21] Mitsuhiko
    Are you talking about how you met Yumi-san?
[15:24] Ayumi
    Tell us.
[15:25] Conan
    Don't you understand that
    Yumi-san's been kidnapped?
[15:30] Haibara
    It'll help pass the time while we wait.
[15:34] Haibara
    Will you tell us?
[15:35] Shukichi
    A-All right. It happened ten years ago...
[15:40] Shukichi
    I'd just finished my ranking match
    and was riding the Toto Loop Line.
[15:45] Shukichi
    The match left a bitter taste in my
    mouth, and I was mentally exhausted.
[15:50] Shukichi
    When I awoke...
[15:51] Yumi
    Hey, you. Hey.
[15:56] Shukichi
    I-I'm sorry. Was I asleep?
[16:00] Yumi
    Yeah, and drooling on my shoulder.
[16:03] Shukichi
    What? D-Drooling?
[16:06] Yumi
    Anyway...
[16:07] Shukichi
    Huh?
[16:08] Yumi
    Get off the train. Isn't this your stop?
[16:11] Shukcihi
    O-Oh, yes.
[16:13] Shukichi
    B-But how did you know?
[16:15] Yumi
    You've got a ticket.
[16:17] Shukichi
    What? Oh...
[16:22] Yumi
    Well, I'm going this way.
[16:25] Shukichi
    Thank you very much!
[16:28] Shukichi
    What? Counter-clockwise?
[16:31] Shukichi
    Wasn't she just on a clockwise-running train?
[16:37] Yumi
    Miwako?
[16:38] Shukichi
    Did she...?
[16:38] Yumi
    Sorry. I feel asleep on the train
    and missed it by five or six stops.
[16:44] Yumi
    I'm heading back the other way now.
[16:47] Yumi
    You can head to the karaoke box without me.
[16:48] Shukichi
    Y-You waited for me?
[16:51] Yumi
    What?
[16:52] Shukichi
    E-Even though your own stop passed,
    you waited for me to wake up.
[17:00] Yumi
    Yeah. You were just too cute
    while you were sleeping.
[17:05] Shukichi
    I guess that turned into a sappy story.
[17:09] Shukichi
    But as a man of the impatient world
    of shogi, her smile was so...
[17:15] Shukichi
    Huh?
[17:17] Ayumi
    Y-Yumi-san...
[17:19] Genta
    She's a good person...
[17:20] Mitsuhiko
    I was moved.
[17:22] Genta
    You'd better save Yumi-san!
[17:26] Mitsuhiko
    In the name of your Meijin title!
[17:28] Ayumi
    A Meijin never loses!
[17:30] Shukichi
    A-Actually, I'm not a Meijin yet.
[17:36] Haibara
    We're next.
[17:41] Guard
    Please keep your hands out of the well.
[17:45] All
    Okay!
[17:46] Conan
    Which means it's around the well somewhere.
[17:52] Conan
    There's something among the rocks.
[17:56] Conan
    This is an incense chariot piece.
[17:59] Agasa
    Is that the clue the culprit left behind?
[18:03] Conan
    Yeah.
[18:04] Conan
    It says "second game" on
    the bottom of the piece.
[18:08] Conan
    Does the incense chariot ring a bell?
[18:11] Shukichi
    No, not really.
[18:14] Conan
    What?
[18:15] Mitsuhiko
    There's a weird diagram
    on the back of the piece.
[18:18] Conan
    A diagram?
[18:22] Conan
    What is this?
[18:27] Culprit
    Check, Haneda Shukichi.
[18:30] Culprit
    You're forced to take my promoted pawn.
[18:34] Culprit
    Then this captured rook will break your
    attack and shatter your formation.
[18:42] Culprit
    My victory is unstoppable.
[18:46] Culprit
    It has been certain...
[18:51] Culprit
    ...since ten years ago.
[18:58] Genta
    Doesn't this kind of look like a face?
[19:01] Mitsuhiko
    A-A face?
[19:03] Genta
    Yeah, like this.
[19:06] Ayumi
    Maybe a little.
[19:07] Genta
    Right? Maybe it's the culprit's face.
[19:11] Agasa
    That can't possibly be right.
[19:12] Haibara
    First we need to decipher the meaning
    of the numbers inside the circles.
[19:17] Conan
    Seven and three...
[19:19] Conan
    Even if seven's the seven
    titles, what's three?
[19:21] Shukichi
    The only thing that comes to mind is
    the third-level professional league.
[19:27] Conan
    It's Detective Sato.
[19:28] Shukichi
    Th-The police?
[19:30] Sato
    Hello, Conan-kun?
[19:32] Sato
    It's Sato. Do you know where Yumi is?
[19:36] Sato
    She's missed work two days in
    a row, she hasn't been home,
[19:40] Sato
    and she's not answering her phone.
[19:42] Sato
    You don't know where she is, do you?
SIGN    Don't contact the police
[19:45] Sato
    Hello? Conan-kun?
[19:47] Conan
    Yeah, we know. We're
    looking for her right now.
[19:50] Shukichi
    What?!
[19:51] Conan
    Yumi-san got really drunk a couple nights
    ago and took a taxi to a strange town.
[19:58] Conan
    She lost her phone and wallet,
[20:02] Conan
    so she called us from a pay phone
    with the change in her pocket.
[20:07] Conan
    But she ran out of money, and the call ended.
[20:10] Sato
    So she's been wandering around
    somewhere for two days?
[20:14] Conan
    I know Yumi-san will find
    some way to contact us.
[20:19] Conan
    You should get a patrol car
    ready for when she does.
[20:24] Sato
    You're right. Got it.
[20:27] Sato
    You heard him. Can you do that?
[20:29] Naeko
    Yes, ma'am. I'll talk to my superiors.
[20:32] Sato
    I'm counting on you.
[20:34] Naeko
    Yes, ma'am.
[20:35] Sato
    That Yumi...
[20:37] Naeko
    Why doesn't Yumi-san just go to a police box?
[20:40] Conan
    Now a patrol car's ready to go.
[20:44] Haibara
    So we just have to decipher this code.
[20:47] Agasa
    We need to figure out what
    the seven and three mean.
[20:50] Mitsuhiko
    Does the incense chariot mean anything else?
[20:54] Shukichi
    Apparently it's supposed
    to help with easier births.
[20:57] Shukichi
    It's what they used to call
    red light district workers.
[21:01] Genta
    What's a red light district?
[21:03] Ayumi
    Is it a fun place?
[21:04] Mitsuhiko
    It sounds kind of dirty to me.
[21:08] Shukichi
    Uh, I...
[21:10] Haibara
    And? Why were red light district
    workers called incense chariots?
[21:14] Shukichi
    P-Probably because it's
    also known as the lance.
[21:20] Genta
    You mean like the weapon?
[21:22] Mitsuhiko
    It's like the spears or
    lances you see in games.
[21:25] Ayumi
    But why do they call it that?
[21:27] Conan
    Because the piece moves in a
    straight line any number of spaces.
[21:31] Shukichi
    Just like a lance.
[21:35] Conan
    Wait. Wasn't Kato Kiyomasa...?
[21:40] Shukichi
    Then this seven and three...
[21:45] Shukichi
    I see.
[21:47] Conan
    So that's what it means.
[21:50] Haibara
    Oh, it looks like you figured it out.
[21:53] Haibara
    You do plan to tell the rest of us, don't you?
[21:58] Conan
    Professor, bring the car around.
[22:01] Agasa
    O-Okay.
[22:04] Conan
    We'll tell you once we get there.
[22:08] Conan
    It's in the middle of a slope
    with a terrifying name.
[22:13] Conan
    Are you sure you want to come?
