A Record-Breaking Climb for Conan: What Fans Need to Know

Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback, the 28th installment of the blockbuster anime franchise, has officially grossed ¥14.17 billion (approx. $96.4 million) in just 66 days since its release on April 18, 2025. According to Kogyo Tsushinsha, this performance not only pushes the film past last year’s Black Iron Submarine (¥13.88B), making it the second highest-grossing Conan film to date, but it also leapfrogs The Super Mario Bros. Movie (¥14.02B) to rank 18th in Japan’s all-time box office history.

The film’s explosive debut saw 690,000 admissions and ¥1.05 billion on opening day, outperforming the previous entry The Million-dollar Pentagram by 9%. It achieved the fastest ¥10 billion milestone in the franchise—reached within just 19 days, 3 days quicker than its predecessor.

The Legacy Continues: Impact and Future

Set in the snowy mountains of Nagano Prefecture, One-eyed Flashback intertwines a chilling mystery with Detective Kogoro Mouri and Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police. After surviving a snow avalanche and a near-fatal gunshot to the eye, Yamato returns to investigate a mysterious attack at Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Meanwhile, Mouri and Conan find themselves drawn into the same unsolved case, with long-buried memories resurfacing to connect both men.

This streak of ever-escalating success mirrors the franchise’s recent trend—Black Iron Submarine grossed ¥13.88 billion in 2023, followed by The Million-dollar Pentagram reaching a record-setting ¥15.8 billion in 2024. With its current momentum, One-eyed Flashback is poised to solidify the series’ reign as Japan’s most consistent anime film powerhouse.

Plot Overview

Set in the snowy mountains of Nagano Prefecture, the story follows Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police, who is critically injured by a bullet during a pursuit and buried in an avalanche. Ten months later, he miraculously returns—now blind in one eye—and investigates a new case at Nobeyama Radio Observatory, where a researcher is attacked. When the radio dish activates, his damaged eye begins to throb mysteriously.

Simultaneously, Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa are en route to meet a former colleague from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department when gunshots ring out. The film intricately connects these seemingly unrelated events through “memories long buried,” bringing together Kogoro and Yamato in a compelling psychological thriller.
