👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A standalone filler two-parter kicks off as Conan finds himself drawn into a case steeped in the world of traditional kabuki theater. The episode pairs Conan with real-life kabuki legend Ichikawa Ebizō in a crossover that leans heavily into cultural atmosphere, using the elaborate costumes, stagecraft, and rituals of kabuki as both setting and thematic texture. Expect a slower, more deliberate pace typical of a Part 1 setup — the mystery is laid out methodically, with suspects introduced against a richly detailed theatrical backdrop. The tone balances Detective Conan's signature deductive tension with genuine reverence for Japanese performing arts. Character interactions carry the episode forward while clues accumulate quietly beneath the surface. A solid entry point for fans who enjoy the series' cultural deep-dives alongside its whodunit mechanics.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

Sabotaged Brakes

Conan spots a runaway car and intervenes just in time, later discovering that someone deliberately cut the brake hose on Hosoo's vehicle — turning a near-accident into a confirmed attempted murder.

The Double-Sided Mask

Hosoo reveals he was transporting a rare and valuable double-sided mask to kabuki legend Ichikawa Ebizo XI, who needs it for his upcoming performance of 'Nanatsu Men.' The mask immediately becomes the episode's central MacGuffin.

Locked Away — Or So They Thought

Chairman Matsubara personally secures the mask inside a locker at the rehearsal venue, establishing a seemingly airtight chain of custody that makes the next morning's discovery all the more unsettling.

Theft and a Body

The case escalates from property crime to homicide when the mask is found stolen from the locker and Hosoo's secretary, Takahashi, turns up dead — linking the brake sabotage, the theft, and the murder into one tangled web.

Conan Suspects an Insider

Conan combs the rehearsal space and quickly zeroes in on the likelihood that the culprit is someone with direct access to the venue and knowledge of the mask's storage — narrowing the suspect pool to those closest to the production.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This filler episode stands apart from any ongoing plot threads, arriving after the self-contained 'The Pitfall of Fire Precautions' case. It launches a two-part kabuki theater mystery that concludes in episode 805, 'Conan and Ebizō's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery (Part 2).' No main storyline progression occurs here, so viewers tracking the Conan overarching narrative can treat this as an optional but culturally rich detour.
