👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

The second half of this Detective Boys-focused two-parter delivers on the promise of resolution, putting Genta Kojima in the spotlight as the group closes in on answers. Expect the classic Conan formula executed with deliberate pacing — clue gathering, deductive exchanges, and a satisfying reveal built on teamwork rather than any single flash of genius. The tone balances lighthearted camaraderie among the young detectives with genuine suspense as the mystery surrounding a puzzling injury comes together. Conan steers things from the shadows as usual, but this is Genta's moment to contribute something meaningful to the case. For fans who enjoy episodes where the supporting cast gets real agency, this is a rewarding payoff. The comedic beats land naturally between investigative tension, keeping the energy engaging throughout.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

The German 'Elf' Connection

Conan cracks the case wide open by revealing that the word 'elf' isn't a fantasy creature — it's the German pronunciation of the number eleven, the very number printed on suspect Kanji Kojima's jersey.

Kojima's Alibi Crumbles

Kojima claims he was listening to a horse race in an underground parking lot, but Conan exposes that he knew details only someone present at the crime scene could have known, dismantling his alibi piece by piece.

Cornered and Caught

With no room left to deny his involvement, the police apprehend Kojima on the strength of Conan's airtight deductions. Another case closed through a child detective no one takes seriously enough.

Cheesecake Apology

Ludger makes amends with Genta by offering him a cheesecake, apologizing for wrongly suspecting the kid. It's a sweet, lighthearted coda that gives Genta his moment after being dragged into the mess.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This episode concludes the two-part 'Genta's Certain Kill Shot' storyline, wrapping up the mystery introduced in Episode 476 where the initial incident and investigation were established. As a standalone canon case deep into Conan's long run, it doesn't directly advance the overarching Black Organization plot but reinforces the Detective Boys' dynamic. The next episode, 'Real 30 Minutes,' shifts to an entirely new standalone case.
