SYNOPSIS
Shinichi Kudo was a brilliant high school detective. Until one day he was turned into a child by the mysterious Black Organization. Taking on a new identity as Conan Edogawa to protect those close to him, Conan now pursues the Black Organization. In hopes of finding the cure to bring him back to his teenage self.
When a calling card belonging to the legendary Kid the Phantom Thief is found in a warehouse belonging to an illustrious family in Hokkaido, Conan’s interest is piqued. Why has a great thief well-known for his pursuit of precious gems set his eyes on swords dating back to the great Edo period?
