An extraordinary event in the anime world: The two popular series "Detective Conan" and "Star Detective Precure!" (Japanese: "Meitantei Purikyua!") will collaborate for the first time in a two-part crossover episode. On May 31, 2026, in the 18th episode of "Star Detective Precure!" titled "The Great Assembly of Detectives" (Japanese: "Meitantei no Kyoen (Assemble)"), the young master detective Conan Edogawa will appear as a guest. Just one week later, on June 6, the heroine Cure Answer will be featured in the "Detective Conan" episode "The Answer of the Flower Stamp" (Japanese: "Hanamaru na Shinjitsu (Answer)").
The plot of the first crossover episode takes place at the Hōshō Art Museum in Makoto Mirai City. The protagonists Anna and Mikuru are helping with preparations for a glass exhibition by artist Misako Shindō. The centerpiece, a glass slipper named "The Forgotten Thing at 12 o'clock," suddenly disappears. While searching for clues, the two encounter Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri, and Kogoro Mouri, who happen to be in town. Together, they confront the mysterious thief gang Phantom. First scene images have already been released, showing Conan with his famous wristwatch tranquilizer gun.
In the following week, Conan and the Detective Boys investigate a series of jewel thefts in Beika City. The young girl Ayumi, a big fan of the Precure series, secretly hopes for the appearance of a real Precure. When the gang is cornered, Ayumi harbors a vague suspicion – and at that very moment, Cure Answer appears.
The collaboration is remarkable in several ways: The two series are produced by different broadcasters (ABC TV / TV Asahi for Precure, Yomiuri TV / Nippon TV for Conan) and different animation studios (Toei Animation and TMS Entertainment, respectively). Additionally, the rights to the original works belong to different publishers (Shogakukan for Conan, Toei / ABC for Precure). Both producers – Gōshi Yoshida (Detective Conan) and Kanako Tada (Star Detective Precure!) – emphasized in their statements that the idea originated a year ago and was realized despite numerous obstacles. Yoshida explained: "The hurdles seemed insurmountable, but the conviction that this would be entertaining was stronger." Tada added: "I am grateful that we were able to realize this unique crossover."
