The detective manga ‘Meitantei Conan’, serialized by Aoyama Goushou in Weekly Shounen Sunday since 1994, follows high school detective Kudou Shin’ichi, who was transformed into a child by a mysterious organization in black. He tackles tough cases under the alias Edogawa Conan. The 107th tankoubon volume was released in April 2025.
The TV anime adaptation began in 1996 and has been broadcast for over 25 years, surpassing 1100 episodes. 2026 marks the monumental 30th anniversary year of the TV anime ‘Meitantei Conan’. Kicking off this celebratory year, Episode 1187 will depict a story from just before Kudou Shin’ichi was transformed into Edogawa Conan by the Men in Black’s drug.
Episode 1187 “Episode ‘ZERO’ Kudou Shin’ichi Aquarium Incident” Synopsis
Just before becoming “Edogawa Conan” due to the Men in Black’s drug… Shin’ichi and Ran, who are not yet officially dating, visit Beika Aquarium to scout locations for their “Aquarium Surprise Reunion Lovey-Dovey Revival Grand Plan” to reconcile Ran’s currently separated parents.
However, their fun time is short-lived. Shin’ichi senses a case from the strange atmosphere drifting from a crowd ahead. Sniffing out the scent of blood, he heads to the scene. The deduction show of the Scarlet High School Detective, using every sense at his disposal to pinpoint the culprit, begins!
And beyond this incident lies “another scouting trip” that connects to that fateful day…!?
