High-Speed Mystery Awaits: Detective Conan's 29th Film Unveils Thrilling New Teaser and Visual for 'Fallen Angel of the Highway'

Anticipation is high for the 29th cinematic installment of the venerable Detective Conan franchise, officially titled Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway (Highway no Datenshi). A comprehensive 30-second short teaser, a striking new promotional visual, and the official movie synopsis have been released. This film is scheduled to premiere in Japanese theaters on April 10, 2026, aligning with the highly competitive Golden Week schedule. It promises to deliver high-octane action and a meticulously structured mystery, appealing to both long-time devotees and newcomers seeking compelling suspense.

Significantly, Fallen Angel of the Highway shifts the spotlight onto a crucial supporting figure: Chihaya Hagiwara. Serving as an assistant inspector within the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and the dynamic leader of the motorcycle division, Hagiwara’s central role signals a deliberate and exciting expansion of the established Detective Conan universe. By focusing on a character outside of the immediate circle of Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa, the film aims to deepen the lore surrounding law enforcement allies and the broader network of individuals dedicated to upholding justice. This focus ensures the narrative tension remains taut while offering fresh character dynamics.

The newly released teaser trailer, made public on Toho Movie's official YouTube channel, provides a substantially polished and extended look compared to the initial, fleeting glimpse shown immediately following the conclusion of the 28th film. This preview successfully escalates the tension and confirms the film’s focus on high-stakes police action, setting the stage for the dramatic events to unfold on the highway.

Complementing the footage is a powerful new visual, which captures the titular detective, Conan, in a gripping stance on a heavy police motorcycle, perfectly encapsulating the adrenaline-fueled and intense atmosphere implied by the film’s subtitle: Fallen Angel of the Highway. The Detective Conan saga, stemming from the manga penned by the legendary Gosho Aoyama and serialized continuously since 1994, remains a cornerstone of global detective fiction and Japanese popular culture, maintaining its vitality over three decades.

Produced by industry giants such as Toho, Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, and Shogakukan Production, this upcoming feature is poised to deliver the signature blend of intricate suspense, thrilling action sequences, and rigorous police procedural drama that has defined the franchise. Fans should prepare for a compelling ride as this newest cinematic chapter continues to uphold the series' reputation for clever twists, profound character depth, and masterful storytelling.
