The released image features Heiji Hattori, a main character in the movie. Known as the "High School Detective of the West," he is one of the few who knows Conan's true identity as Shinichi. Together, they have solved numerous challenging cases.

The movie has been a huge hit, drawing an audience of 2,274,333 and grossing 3.35 billion yen in just three days of release.

This installment's plot is set in Hakodate, where Heiji Hattori and the mysterious thief Kid collide. Heiji, continually missing his chance to confess his love to Kazuha, encounters his nemesis Kid. Previously, Heiji nearly kissed Kazuha, disguised by Kid, during the "Fairy's Lip" pearl case. With Kazuha involved, Heiji often becomes a less competent detective. Will Heiji be able to settle his score with Kid and finally confess to Kazuha in this latest film? Characters such as Kazuha, Momiji Ooka, Iwami Mugai, and Souji Okita also make appearances, closely watching over Heiji and Kazuha.
