Story

Synopsis

A Faberge egg surfaces in Osaka, drawing Kaitou Kid into a heist and Conan into the investigation surrounding it. The trail leads to a castle and a decades-old murder tied to a family history that several people would prefer stayed buried. Heiji Hattori joins the case, giving Conan a genuine deductive rival rather than an audience, and the film builds toward a climax involving explosives, a burning castle, and considerably higher physical stakes than the mystery initially suggested. Every clue points toward a history several families would rather remained buried.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
The third Detective Conan film, based on Gosho Aoyama's manga, The Last Wizard of the Century is frequently ranked among fans as one of the finest entries in the entire franchise, praised for combining Kaitou Kid, Heiji Hattori, and a strong historical mystery in a single film. Its climax is among the most memorable in the series. Early Conan films are often cited as the franchise's strongest, before later entries began leaning more heavily on large-scale action set pieces over pure deduction. Its combination of returning fan favorites and strong deduction remains hard to beat.
