Story

Synopsis

A series of attacks targets people connected to Kogoro Mouri, with each victim linked to a playing card indicating position in a sequence, which means the pattern predicts who is next. As the list narrows toward people Conan cares about directly, the investigation forces an examination of Kogoro's past, his marriage to Eri, and a shooting incident that explains considerably more about the family than anyone has been willing to discuss. The mystery is unusually personal for a franchise entry. Every card that appears narrows the list of people still left unharmed.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
The second Detective Conan film, based on Gosho Aoyama's manga, The Fourteenth Target is well regarded among fans for its focus on Kogoro and Eri's estrangement, giving substantial emotional weight to characters the series usually plays for comedy. The annual Conan film series has run for decades as one of the most commercially dependable fixtures in Japanese cinema, and the early entries are widely considered its strongest for prioritizing character and deduction over large-scale action spectacle. Its focus on family history gives the mystery unusual emotional weight for the series.
