The Star Detective Precure! film opens in Japan on September 18, with the cast for three original characters revealed. The TV series is mid-run, having aired crossover episodes with Detective Conan and run a fan poll to guess Cure Eclair's identity before her July 19 reveal.
Star Detective Precure!, the 23rd Precure series, has been building toward its first theatrical release. The film, opening in Japan on September 18, revealed its main trailer, staff, and ending theme song "FIRST PRISM" by Yūka Masui and Chihaya Yoshitake, with an insert song "First Step" by Ami Ishii. The cast for three film-original characters was announced in a video on Sunday: Akari Kito voices Karin, a 14-year-old girl who holds the key to the story; Nobunaga Shimazaki voices Alan, a fairy who watches over Karin; and Koki Uchiyama voices Rain, a fairy who requests the Detective Precures' help. The film brings back past characters from You and Idol Precure♪ and Wonderful Precure!.
Before the film, the TV series engaged audiences with a crossover with Detective Conan. Crossover episodes aired on May 31 and June 6, marking the first on-screen meeting of the two franchises. In the Star Detective Precure! episode, Anna and Mikuru encounter Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri, and Kogoro Mouri while tracking down the Phantom Thieves after an art piece is stolen. In the Detective Conan episode, Cure Answer appears as the Junior Detective League guards a jewelry store against jewel robbers. The crossover extended into merchandise, with acrylic stands, pins, coasters, a t-shirt, and a towel available from June 23 at Precure Pretty Stores and via Premium Bandai preorder until June 30.
The series also turned Cure Eclair's introduction into an audience participation puzzle. A fan poll ran to guess her secret identity before her July 19 reveal, with four candidates appearing in episodes from June 14 to July 12. Voting was open online and at physical locations in Japan. The series held steady in weekly TV ratings, appearing in the mid-range of the July 13-19 rankings, while Sazae-san led with 5.9%.
