Following a successful box office showing in Japan, Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback ( Metitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback ) has been set for a Singapore release. The 28th anime film in the series opens in local theatres this September, with local distributor Odex apologising for the delay in a Facebook announcement post, promising that 'it'll be worth the wait'.
That's the picture painted by its opening numbers, at least. The feature clinched the top spot after debuting on 18 April in its home country, earning 3,438,626,700 yen (US$24.15 million / S$30.4 million) in its first three days. It also sold 2,314,690 tickets within the same period, setting a new opening-weekend record for the franchise.
Katsuya Shigehara (unit director of 2023's Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine ) directed a script written by Takeharu Sakurai (various Detective Conan movies), while King Gun performed the theme song, 'Twilight!!!'. Taking place in the snowy mountains of Nagano, the latest entry brings back several familiar faces from the previous films, including Kogoro, whose last major role was in 2005's Strategy Above the Depths .
The translated synopsis of Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback reads (per its official website):
'Mt. Miho in the Yatsugatake mountain range, Nagano Prefecture. While pursuing a 'certain man' in the snowy mountains, Kansuke Yamato, a Nagano Prefectural Police officer, unexpectedly saw a shadow of someone in his field of vision. When he was caught off guard, a rifle bullet fired by 'a man' grazed his left eye, causing an avalanche with a loud earth tremor. The avalanche swallowed him up…
Ten months later. After receiving a report that a researcher at the Nobeyama observatory of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan had been attacked by an unknown assailant, Kansuke, who miraculously survived the avalanche, and Yui Uehara rushed to the scene. During the interview, the giant parabolic antenna of the observatory is set in motion, and suddenly the left eye of the injured and one-eyed Kansuke begins to tingle violently…
That night, the Mori Detective Agency received a call from a detective called 'Wani,' a close colleague of Kogoro's from his days at the Metropolitan Police Department. He said that he was investigating an avalanche that Kansuke was involved in, and that he found Kogoro's name in the case file. Kogoro promised to meet Wani at a later date, and Conan followed him, but as they were on their way to the meeting place, a gunshot suddenly rang out. '
The sleuthing action will take to the big screen in Singapore come September.
