'Detective Conan: Zero's Executioner' Anime Film Latest News: Conan and Amuro Clash in Newly Released Teaser Video
A teaser video has been released for the upcoming Japanese anime film "Meitantei Conan: Zero no Shikkounin (Detective Conan: Zero's Executioner)," the 22nd feature film in the "Detective Conan" franchise. It shows a glimpse of the renowned Sleeping Sleuth, Kogoro Mouri, getting arrested.
Apparently, this incident comes as a result of an explosion at a facility for the Tokyo Summit, as teased in a movie synopsis released earlier this year. Mouri is being arrested as a suspect for the said explosion, and it will be up to series protagonist Conan Edogawa to embark on a mission to prove his innocence.
However, the de-aged detective will find himself at odds with Tooru Amuro, an agent for the National Police Agency Security Bureau, who also works as an undercover operative in the Black Organization.
