👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A classic Conan conclusion episode that delivers exactly what fans of the franchise expect from a two-part mystery. The tension ratchets up as Conan methodically pieces together the poisoning case at the revolving sushi restaurant, with the Detective Boys, Professor Agasa, and Inspector Megure all playing their roles in the investigation's final stretch. The pacing is deliberate and satisfying, giving the deduction sequence room to breathe rather than rushing toward the reveal. Thematically, the episode leans into the series' core pillars—justice, consequence, and the gap between appearances and truth. The revolving sushi setting keeps the atmosphere grounded and distinctly everyday, which makes the criminal stakes hit harder. If you watched Part 1, this payoff is well-earned. A solid standalone mystery with no overarching plot requirements to enjoy it.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

The Touch-Screen Breakdown

Conan and the Detective Boys scrutinize the restaurant's touch-screen ordering system, mapping out exactly which plates reached Agatsuma and when — turning the conveyor belt itself into a timeline of the crime.

Megure Corners the Suspects

Inspector Megure grills Danji Namiki, Osamu Aizono, and Sakiko Takemura about their movements during the meal. Each suspect's alibi hinges on the narrow window between ordering and Agatsuma's collapse.

The Left-Hand Revelation

Conan catches a detail everyone else missed — Agatsuma was left-handed. This single observation reshuffles the logic of how the poisoned dish could have been selectively targeted on the revolving belt.

The Plastic Wrapper Clue

A discarded plastic wrapper found near Agatsuma's plate becomes the linchpin of the case, suggesting the poison was pre-applied and concealed before the sushi ever reached the victim.

Conan Sets the Trap

With all the pieces in place, Conan positions himself to reveal the killer's method — building palpable tension as the suspects realize someone at the counter has already solved the puzzle.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This episode wraps up the two-part 'Revolving Sushi Mystery' arc that began in Episode 549, where a poisoning incident kicked off the investigation. It's a self-contained case with no ties to the larger Black Organization storyline. The next episode, 551, shifts gears entirely with 'The Culprit is Genta's Dad (Part 1),' launching a new case that puts the spotlight on one of the Detective Boys' family members.
