New Detective Conan Film Drops Enigmatic Teaser, Set for Golden Week 2026 Premiere

The iconic 'Detective Conan' franchise is generating immense excitement with the release of the first electrifying teaser for its 29th anime film. This highly anticipated cinematic event is confirmed for Japan's competitive Golden Week holiday in 2026, promising to deliver another intricate mystery and thrilling action to captivated audiences.

The enigmatic teaser, initially shown after the successful 2025 film 'Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback' and later released globally on YouTube, immediately immersed viewers in a world of suspense. It prominently features the compelling voice of Miyuki Sawashiro, who takes on the role of Chihaya Hagiwara, a key figure and motorcycle division leader within the Kanagawa Prefectural Police. Sawashiro delivers the haunting line, "What did you want to say that day?", a poignant question that establishes a deeply emotional and mysterious tone for the upcoming narrative. This character was previously voiced by the late Atsuko Tanaka, adding another layer of gravitas to the film's unfolding drama.

Visual cues within the teaser, such as a ticking bomb countdown and the striking imagery of burning feathers, strongly suggest a storyline fraught with danger, high stakes, and profound suspense. Fans can expect the signature blend of ingenious detective work, heart-pounding action, and deeply developed characters that the franchise is renowned for.

The franchise is currently enjoying the phenomenal success of its 28th installment, 'Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback,' which premiered in April 2025. That film shattered box office records, achieving the franchise's highest-ever opening weekend and becoming the tenth highest-grossing film in Japan at the time, amassing an astounding 14.66 billion yen (approximately $99.8 million USD).

Created by the legendary Gosho Aoyama, the 'Detective Conan' manga stands as a monumental pillar in Japanese publishing. It boasts over 106 volumes by April 2025, with its serialization dating back to 1994, and the anime TV series launched in 1996. The forthcoming 29th film is poised to uphold this rich tradition, delivering the signature blend of ingenious detective work, heart-pounding action, and deeply developed characters that fans worldwide have come to adore.

Scheduled for release between April 29 and May 6, 2026, during Golden Week, the movie is strategically positioned to dominate the box office during one of the most bustling periods for Japanese cinema, signaling another potential triumph for the beloved boy detective.
