About Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet

Here is what Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet (名探偵コナン 緋色の弾丸) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and mystery anime by TMS Entertainment (2021). What the story covers: Japan is celebrating the upcoming Realm Sports Games (WSG), the realm's largest sporting event, in Tokyo. The "Japanese Bullet," the world's first vacuum-tube super-conducting linear train, is built with the latest Japanese technology and timed to coincide with the WSG opening ceremonies.

Soon after, the train is set to run from Shin Nagoya Station to Tokyo Station at up to 1,000 kilometers per hour (about 600 miles per hour). However, a bizarre incident occurs during a party held by famous major sponsors, leading to a string of kidnappings of top executives. Conan deduces a possible link to serial abductions in the WSG 15 years earlier in Boston.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Minami Takayama as Conan Edogawa and Megumi Hayashibara as Ai Haibara. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
