Meanwhile, Kogoro receives a call from his former colleague Sametani, who claims to be investigating the avalanche that Kansuke was involved in. But before Sametani can share his findings, he is assassinated right before Kogoro and Conan's eyes. Determined to uncover the truth, Kogoro travels to Nagano himself, while Conan launches his own investigation.

While in Nagano to investigate the killing of Sametani, Conan and Kogoro discover the avalanche is linked to a robbery that happened 8 years before. But when Detective Kansuke becomes the target of a mysterious assailant, the stakes rise sharply. Can Conan unravel the web of secrets and stop the killer before it's too late?

Often referred to as "a modern-day Sherlock Holmes", Gosho Aoyama's original manga DETECTIVE CONAN (also known as CASE CLOSED) draws inspiration from the world's greatest mystery writers such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo.

DETECTIVE CONAN has become one of Japan's most recognisable pop culture icons; multimedia franchise including an anime with over 1,000 episodes broadcast in over 40 countries, multiple record-breaking feature films, and video games. This time, DETECTIVE CONAN: ONE-EYED FLASHBACK unravels a mystery adventure in Nagano, marking the return of three beloved characters from the manga to the big screen - the Nagano Prefectural Police's trio of childhood friends: Inspector Kansuke Yamato, Taka'aki Morofushi, and Yui Uehara.

It marks our second release of this long-standing and much-loved Japanese anime franchise in the UK, following our launch in 2024.
