Shinichi Kudo, the world-famous high school detective, may have transformed into 6-year-old Conan Edogawa, but his intellect is still unparalleled to outwit the smartest criminals.

The 24th Detective Conan film takes us back to Tokyo, where our crime-magnet protagonist gets involved in a new mystery that revolves around the Akai family.

A new trailer for Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet film is streaming on YouTube. The film will premiere on April 16, 2021.

The trailer features the film’s theme song, The Scarlet Alibi by Tokyo Jihen. It revolves around a mysterious bike-rider who keeps coming in Conan’s way.

In the very next scene, we see Conan and his friends trapped in a bullet train. The premiere date appears on the screen in the form of a timer, which makes me believe that he is in a battle against time.

FBI agent Shuichi Akai will be monitoring the investigation, and not only he, but his entire family will also be playing a key role. The fact that a previously released visual featured Conan Edogawa and the Akai family pretty much confirm my speculations.

The train we saw in the trailer is no ordinary bullet train; it’s the world’s first “vacuum superconducting linear.” The expeditious gift of science is faster than any other train mankind has witnessed before, and will run from Nagoya to Tokyo.

The 6th RELOAD PROJECT! Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet will be released worldwide at the same time! In commemoration of that, a part of the opening of this work will be released for the first time in a special ver. in 5 languages ​!

But then again, the faster the train is, the harder it will crash. At least that’s what the culprit(s) think, but all their plan goes in vain as the fan-favorite detective comes in their way.

I am even more excited to find out who is this mysterious person behind the biker’s helmet. Is he/she a very familiar name? Or someone totally unexpected?

And most importantly, can you solve the mystery before Conan? I guess we you have to wait for the film’s premiere to find it out.
