Detective Conan is already preparing his 28th film

The "Detective Conan" franchise, based on the hit manga by Gosho Aoyama, has revealed the title of its twenty-eighth film: "Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback" (名探偵コナン隻眼の残像). The film, which will be released on April 18, 2025 in theaters across Japan, promises a plot full of mystery and emotions in a winter setting.

To mark the announcement, a visual teaser illustrated by Gosho Aoyama himself has been presented. The image stands out for its intriguing atmosphere and key elements that give clues about the plot. In the upper right corner, Kogoro Mouri is shown with a serious and determined expression, observing the sky. This intense look is no coincidence, as it recalls his starring role in "Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths (2005)", which suggests an important role for Kogoro in this new installment, something uncommon in recent films of the franchise.

In the lower left of the visual, we see Inspector Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Police covering his left eye, a direct reference to the film's title and his iconic characteristic of being one-eyed. He is accompanied by his colleagues from Nagano Prefecture: Takaaki Morofushi, his childhood friend, and Yui Uehara. This group will be key in the narrative, marking one of the rare occasions that an arc of supporting characters from the main series is brought into the spotlight in a film.

The film will be set in the snowy mountains of Nagano Prefecture, a setting that evokes mystery and danger. According to the title and teaser, the story will revolve around secrets related to Kansuke Yamato's left eye, a mystery that has intrigued fans since its introduction in the series.

The teaser's tagline, "I Remembered Everything...," suggests that the film will explore past memories or events that have deeply marked the characters. This approach, along with the starring role of Kogoro Mouri, points to a narrative full of drama, action, and unexpected twists, elements that have characterized the Detective Conan films.
