Detective Conan (Case Closed) Plot

The detective Conan is about a 17-year-old high school detective named Shinichi Kudo, who happens to be the world’s greatest rising detective. The story starts with the murder of his father by Gin, a dangerous criminal. One day he is tricked by him to take some poison that makes him look like a child until he doesn’t find the antidote for it. He goes to live with his childhood friend Ran and her father Kogoro in their house.

When Ran’s mother, Akemi, has been murdered during their trip to Beika City, she and Shinichi have lived since then. Now Shinichi must solve this case as a little kid without being discovered. This is how this Japanese manga plot began, and now it has been continuing for more than 20 years.

If you are a true fan of the Detective Conan anime, then you will love watching these filler episodes. If you don’t like them, you can skip them, but it is best to manage them chronologically if you want to protect them.

List of filler episodes for Detective Conan (Case Closed) in chronological order – Learn if it is worth watching

Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case

The episode starts off with Ran and Sonoko talking to Wakamatsu, who is one of the guys they had met on the previous days. He invites them to a party, which is to be held that night. Ran refused at first, but Sonoko convinced her to go along. After that Conan comes in, and after he gets caught by Ran, she goes out and tells him that she is going out. Conan follows them, and ends up at the party as well.

They arrive to find a couple of people there already. They seem like a group of people who know each other from college or high school or something, because they all seem pretty happy. There is another guy there, by the name of Naomichi who seems to be pretty excited about it too. He is also an employee for an unnamed company where Katsuhiko works for as well as Naomichi does too. They talk about how cooking rice will never stop being interesting once you do it enough times and then they proceed into playing games at one point as well.

Katsuhiko passes out after drinking some of his own cup of coffee and when he wakes up he says that someone had poisoned him with cyanide because it tasted bitter. He collapses again and is taken to the hospital. Everyone is in shock at this. The police show up and start questioning everyone at the party, and they all have alibis, except Naomichi. He confesses that he did it, but then Conan reveals the true culprit to be Katsuhiko’s mother.

This episode is a filler episode, and that is for one main reason. The reason why this is a filler episode is because the culprit of the murder is not obvious, but it becomes obvious once Conan realizes the true culprit. Conan doesn’t find out until about half way through the episodes, and because of this this will be considered a filler episode.

Episode 15: The Mysterious Shooting Message Case

The Detective Boys decide to go fishing together. On the way, they come across a house where a man is practicing shooting a sniper rifle. They decide to watch him with the intention of getting his autograph. Later that day, Conan, Kogoro, Ran and the Detective Boys are at the river practicing fishing when they notice a boat floating down the river with nobody in it. They call out for help but no one answers. Conan notices that there is a balloon tied to the boat and it’s moving in such a way that it would have been impossible for it to get there by itself. The Detective Boys call out again for someone to help them but they still don’t get an answer.

Later on, when everyone is leaving after having spent hours fishing but catching nothing, Conan notices something odd about the boat and balloon tied together by string and decides to try and solve this mystery once again by himself. He takes Kogoro’s glasses with him so he won’t be able to see anything but ends up being caught in some wire and floated down stream while he tries to figure out what is really happening…

When he gets back home he realizes that there was tape attached to his body and this tape was connected to the boat. He concludes that he was being used as target practice for the man they were watching earlier, who is a sniper. Conan calls the police and reports that there is a man practicing sniping in the woods near his house and when they get there, they find out that he is sniping at objects floating down river so he can practice shooting them while they move. The police arrest him, but Conan notices something odd about him and decided to investigate further…

This episode is a filler episode that was used to introduce the character of Eri Kisaki who will be featured quite heavily in the next few episodes.

This episode is a filler episode. It is one of the more well known filler episodes because it introduced one of Conan’s most popular characters, Eri Kisaki. This is the first time that Eri Kisaki appears in Detective Conan, and she will appear in a total of seven episodes in the original manga, as well as a bonus OVA.

While Eri Kisaki only appears in seven episodes in the manga series, she appears very frequently during the first 52 episodes of Detective Conan. This is because she is featured quite heavily in these early episodes. Her appearances are spaced out over the entire collection of 52 episodes and are spread across several different stories, not just a single story or plot. Therefore, Eri Kisaki will appear multiple times within each story arc that was published during this stage of Detective Conan.

Episode 17: Hijacked Department Store Case

A strange group of men in black, led by one named Matsuda, hijack a department store. They take all the employees and shoppers hostage. Conan and the Detective Boys are there when it happens, but they manage to hide from the men. The group demands that some large sum of money be brought to them. If this is not done by a certain time, they will begin killing hostages.

Kogoro is called to the scene for some reason, and he sets up his own crime scene investigation outside the department store. He never enters the building itself because he’s afraid of getting shot at or something like that. Kogoro seems to know Matsuda as well, which raises an eyebrow for Conan at first but then Conan figures out who Matsuda is working for and what their plan is.

Conan does everything he can to save the hostages. He forces Kogoro to get inside the building. Conan has a plan with the Detective Boys, and they are able to trick Matsuda into releasing the hostages, but he still won’t surrender himself. Matsuda threatens to kill all the hostages if Kogoro doesn’t hand over a certain briefcase that he (Matsuda) wants.

This episode is a little different from the rest in that it is not a murder case. The focus of this episode is to show how Conan solves a crime without needing any dead bodies or police investigation. Instead, it’s a robbery case, but the robbers are after money instead of jewels or anything like that.

The actual “crime” part of this episode was pretty good and entertaining as well. The hijacking of the department store was interesting and unique, and the fact that there were still many people inside when they decided to raid it made things very interesting for Conan because he didn’t want any hostages harmed in the process.

There is an interesting twist at the end of this episode where Conan figures out who Matsuda works for and what his goal actually is, but I won’t reveal it here because it’s kind of important to watch for yourself if you haven’t already seen it already.

This episode is a filler episode, but it’s a pretty good one, and it’s only two episodes after the last arc as well. As I said in the last review, this filler is a little more fun than usual because there isn’t really any dead bodies or murder or anything like that.

Episode 19: An Elevator Murder Case

Conan and his friends are on their way to the aquarium, but stop at a department store to buy clothes. Ran and Sonoko go to buy some clothes for a trip, while Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko go to the food court for lunch.

They notice some suspicious activity in the elevator (which is apparently a crime scene), but when they get off on the 2nd floor, they find out that there is no evidence of any crime being committed. The same day after school when Conan is driving Ran home, he notices that she is acting strange. After dropping her off he gets a call from her telling him to meet her at the department store again.

When he arrives there, she tells him that she got kidnapped (after hearing footsteps behind her), and asks him to come into the elevator with her because she knows who it was and wants revenge on them for what they did to her when she was younger.

Conan realizes this is another case of “the elevator” and after looking around for clues, finds out that they are trapped in an empty elevator which will soon start going up to the 10th floor at full speed where it will crash into something because of all the weight inside it (which will kill Ran if it does) unless they can stop it before it gets there, but Conan has no idea how.

This episode is a filler episode. It takes place during the 1 month time skip in the first season, and is based on a manga case that was written prior to the series. The only real difference between the manga case and this episode is that there was no time limit in the manga case, so it was simply a matter of figuring out how to stop the elevator. This episode is filler because it does not advance the main plot of the series at all, and is just an excuse to have some fun with the characters.

Episode 24: The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case

Shinichi agrees to help a beautiful woman with amnesia find out who she is. While investigating her past, an incident occurs that will have serious consequences for Shinichi.

The character of Ran Mouri appears in this episode. She is “Shinichi’s” childhood friend who has a crush on him. This episode marks her first appearance in the series.

A murder occurs at the beginning of this episode, but there is no indication that it will be related to Shinichi’s investigation. Shinichi seems to be involved with investigating this case by pure coincidence, which is strange considering he’s supposed to be busy looking for his girlfriend Ran at the time. In fact, he seems to have nothing whatsoever to do with this case until several minutes into the story when he happens to walk past a flower shop and overhears two women talking about an incident that happened earlier that day which may lead them to finding out who their missing friend is.

Shinichi decides to help them find out more about what happened, just because it might be interesting. By the end of the episode, Shinichi has lost his memory and is desperately trying to figure out what happened.

This is a filler episode, because the entire story takes place in a single day and there are no major plot developments. The viewer needs to keep this in mind when watching this episode, because it’s not as interesting or thrilling as other episodes in the series. This is probably why they decided to air this episode first instead of saving it for the second half of the series.

This filler episode appears to have been inspired by the movie “Chinatown”. The plot centers around a missing person and there are several scenes that were clearly copied from that film:

1) A man walks into a flower shop with a woman (who turns out to be unconscious) on his arm and asks for some flowers. The owner tells him to wait but he leaves before she can finish her sentence. He leaves behind his hat and watch which are later found by detectives Conan and Kogoro Mouri (Bourne did it first).

2) A dead body is found in some water, almost completely devoid of human life except for some floating debris (in this case a hat and watch) that is later identified as belonging to a man who was out with the missing person earlier that day (Bourne did it first).

3) A detective and his assistant are seen searching for clues in the water (Bourne did it first).

4) The detective and his assistant search some garbage cans for clues (Bourne did it first).
