As mentioned in my previous post about the movie Mine which I watched yesterday, I originally wanted to see only this movie after my weekend staycation. But since we had the time, we considered to have ourselves another movie marathon which we had not done for quite some time. The show was at 7 PM and when we checked in the website until 15 minutes before start, it showed that only 3 of people (including my wife and I) who were planning to see the movie. But as the movie almost began, few more people came to the studio and we ended up with around 10 people. Perhaps it was due to the fasting period as usually it was having more audience. Anyway, let us get on with the movie.
Brief Story Line
Story started with the murder of a champion of the Japanese Karuta card game with the culprit shown as black character like usually done in Detective Conan's comic books or TV series & movies. Later on, we were shown that Conan (Minami Takayama) and his kindergarten friends Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta plus his high-school sweetheart Ran (Wakana Yamazaki) with her father the well-known detective Kogorō Mōri (Rikiya Koyama) were in a TV station. They were looking at the preparation of the Karuta championship with the main star Momiji Ooka who seemed set to become the next champion. Conan and friends were there as invitees of Kazuha (Yuko Miyamura) and of course Heiji (Ryo Horikawa), whom Kazuha had a huge crush on, and also one of the very few friends of Conan who knew about his actual condition and identity.
