Detective Conan: The Fallen Angel of Asphalt, the 29th film in the Detective Conan series, premiered in 2026, continuing the long-running franchise's tradition of cinematic adaptations. Set in Yokohama, the film follows a series of deadly motorcycle accidents linked to a mysterious black motorcycle, which prompts Conan Edogawa to investigate. Directed by Takahiro HASUI, known for his work on Bungo Stray Dogs and Mob Psycho, the film was produced by the Detective Conan Committee. A notable addition to the story is Chihaya Hagiwara, a new character introduced in volume 101 of the manga. She leads the Kanagawa Road Patrol and marks a departure from the usual focus on established characters like Heiji or the elusive thief Kid. The film addresses modern themes, such as the role of artificial intelligence in the automotive industry, setting it apart from earlier entries in the series. The plot is said to have been revealed quickly, leading to a frantic race against time. While the action sequences are described as spectacular and well-paced, some critics note a lack of originality compared to previous films. The film also includes a tribute to Wakana Yamazaki, the seiyuu of Ran, who had passed away earlier in the year. Her protégée takes on a prominent role in the next installment. Despite these elements, the film is seen as a continuation of the franchise's enduring appeal, offering fans a familiar experience with new characters and settings. It does not require prior knowledge of the series to be enjoyed, though it does not feature the nostalgic elements that some fans may expect.
