24. Detective Conan movie will be released in 22 countries at the same time

The official website of the Detective Conan anime films announced that the upcoming movie Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet (Meitantei Conan: Hiiro no Dangan) will be released simultaneously in 22 countries and territories outside of Japan: Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei, Thailand, Vietnam, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and France.



The film focuses on FBI agent Shuichi Akai, his younger brother and professional shōgi player Shukichi Haneda, his younger sister and high school detective Masumi Sera, his mother Mary Sera, and Conan Edogawa himself.

In the story, Japan celebrates the upcoming World Sports Games (WSG), the world's largest sporting event, in Tokyo. The "Japanese Bullet," the world's first vacuum-tube-shaped, superconducting, linear train, is built with the latest Japanese technology and timed to coincide with the WSG opening ceremony. The train is designed to travel at speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour from Shin Nagoya Station to Tokyo Station. However, during a party hosted by major sponsors, a bizarre incident occurs, leading to a series of kidnappings of top executives. Conan deduces a possible connection to a series of kidnappings during the WSG 15 years earlier in Boston.
