Direct confrontation: two mysteries on a full moon night
What happened in the case? Kogoro Mori receives an invitation to join a cruise ship that is planning to host a Halloween party. The program is known for recruiting some of the guests as actors for the spectacle.
Conan also receives such an invitation, but from Vermouth, an agent of the Black Organization. She knows that Conan Edogawa is actually Shinichi Kudo. Conan follows the invitation and ends up at a party where the host is shot with a real crossbow.
At the same time, Ai Haibara, who was shrunk like Conan, is struggling with an illness. She is picked up by Jodie, an FBI agent, to bring her to safety. However, the two are pursued by Vermouth. There are several showdowns and twists in which Conan is even kidnapped.
What is special about it? The revelation of Vermouth’s identity and the encounter with Jodie are the highlights of the case. It turns out that Vermouth has been leading a double life. There are also other revelations and twists that make the episodes so interesting. There is also a beautiful moment with Ran, who throws herself in front of Jodie and protects her with her life.
The transformation of Vermouth from a villain to a kind-hearted person is also a great theme in the episodes. She couldn’t shoot Ran because Ran and Shinichi saved her a long time ago. In the end, she even hides from the Black Organization that Conan is actually Shinichi.
