Detective Conan 30th Anniversary TV Special Brings Back the Full Cast
The special's draw is breadth rather than plot: a 30th anniversary broadcast used a two-hour original case to put the largest cross-agency lineup the series has assembled on screen at once, and the reaction tracks which minor characters fans still recognize on sight.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime Anime.
The 30th anniversary Detective Conan TV special "Case 30" aired on Nippon TV's Friday Road Show on September 25, drawing live viewers and a wave of social media reaction. The two-hour original story about counterfeit new banknotes assembles detectives, police, Public Security, and FBI. Fans celebrated returns including Toru Amuro, Shuichi Akai, Heiji Hattori, Kazuha Toyama, and the anime-only forensic officer Tome.
The anniversary spot went to an original story, not an adaptation. In "Case 30," a murder investigation reveals counterfeit bills mixed into the new 10,000 yen notes, and the response pulls in Conan, Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, police departments across the country, the Public Security Bureau, and the FBI.
The episode's chatter was less about the case than the roster. Amuro and Akai drew the loudest reactions, Heiji again chose investigation over confessing to Kazuha, and the long-absent forensic officer Tome was greeted as a reunion. Actress Elaiza Ikeda voiced document examiner Toko Satomi as a guest.
