Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback – Release Date, Cast, and Everything We Know

The Detective Conan franchise continues its legacy of thrilling mystery and suspense with the 28th installment, Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback (名探偵コナン 隻眼の残像, Meitantei Konan Sekigan no Furasshubakku).

Following the success of Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram (2024), this latest anime film promises to deliver a gripping mystery filled with intense action, unexpected twists, and a deep dive into a new case that could change everything for Conan Edogawa and his allies.

Mark your calendars! The film is set to premiere in Japan on April 18, 2025.

🔍 Plot: What We Know So Far

While details about the plot of One-Eyed Flashback are still under wraps, the title hints at a mystery involving a one-eyed character or a case deeply tied to the past.

Detective Conan movies often feature high-stakes crimes, legendary artifacts, or deep connections to law enforcement, the Black Organization, or even Conan’s own past. Given the return of Kansuke Yamato, Takaaki Morofushi, and Hyōe Kuroda, we might see a case that links back to the Nagano Police Department’s history or an unresolved crime from years ago.
