Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram

The Phantom Thief Kaito Kid sends a bold challenge to the world, targeting a legendary Japanese sword held by the wealthy Onoe family in Hakodate. Detective Conan and his rival Heiji Hattori find themselves in Hokkaido just as cherry blossoms bloom, ready to intercept the thief. Their pursuit takes a dark turn when the family lawyer turns up dead in the warehouse district, killed by a blade that looks like it came from the Edo period. The investigation quickly spirals into a race for hidden treasure linked to an arms dealer with dangerous motives. Chika Nagaoka directs this entry in the long-running Detective Conan franchise, blending sharp mystery with high-stakes action. The film features the returning voices of Minami Takayama as Conan Edogawa and Ryo Horikova as Heiji Hattori, alongside Kappei Yamaguchi delivering another spirited performance as the masked master thief. Produced by TMS Entertainment and released on April 12, 2024, the movie grossed over $108 million globally. While critics gave it a modest rating of 6.9 out of 10, fans appreciate the classic cat-and-mouse dynamic set against the scenic backdrop of northern Japan.[edit]
