To commemorate the release of the latest "Detective Conan" movie, "Flashback of an Eye," Friday Roadshow on April 18th (Nippon TV, Friday 9pm) will be broadcasting the 27th film in the series, "One Million Dollar Star" (2024), for the first time, uncut and with an extended 25 minutes.
A warning letter from Kaito Kid arrives at the Oke Zaibatsu storage facility in Hakodate, Hokkaido. Kid's target this time is a Japanese sword connected to Toshizo Hijikata Toshizo who lived during the end of the Edo period. Why is Kaito Kid, who has only pursued big jewels, targeting a sword?
Meanwhile, the famous detective from the west, Heiji Hattori, and Conan and his friends are in Hakodate for a kendo tournament, and on the day of the crime threat, Heiji sees through Kid's disguise and corners him. At the same time, a body with a cross-shaped wound on its chest is found in the Hakodate warehouse district. The man who emerges as a suspect in the investigation is a Japanese-American man known as the "Merchant of Death," who operates as an arms dealer throughout Asia.
Next week on April 25th, Friday Roadshow will broadcast "Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV)," the first film in the Star Wars series, which continues to have a huge impact on the global entertainment industry 48 years after its release.
