Detective Conan's 30th Anniversary Gets a 2-Hour Special

Detective Conan is marking three decades with a 2-hour special airing September 25, 2026, on Nippon TV's Friday Roadshow. Titled Episode 30 Murder Case, the episode centers on a national crisis triggered by counterfeit currency—a premise that pulls in an all-star cast to unravel the mystery.

Guest voice actor Elaiza Ikeda joins the lineup as Toko Satomi, a document examiner, bringing fresh energy to the anniversary event. The special isn't the only interactive offering: a viewer-participation anime called Murder on Thirty-One Island, scripted by Takahiro Okura, will also air, inviting audiences to deduce the culprit themselves.

The dual-pronged approach—a high-stakes main event paired with an interactive side story—signals the franchise's confidence in its 30-year legacy. For a series built on the pleasure of solving puzzles alongside Shinichi Kudo, letting viewers play detective feels like the natural anniversary move.
