Wow, nice to get back into the main story. I hope that girl sticks around. It would make things much more interesting.

Epic!!!

Finally the appearance of Haibara!!!

I loved it, but it would have been a lot better if Funi wouldn't have spoiled it by releasing movies later than this that have Ai in them.
(I know it's my fault for watching them, but come on, they dropped the series. What's a meitantei supposed to do?)

Lot's of booze in this episode!
And no, I don't mean Mouri "cracking cases". LMAO!
I mean Gin and Vodka!

I like how they tied in the Billion Yen Murder Case with Ai's One-chan.

And, Conan talking through Prof. Agasa to solve the case...+100!

One of the best eps, but NEEDZ MOAR RAN & MOURI!!!

Urahara Out!!

This episode, was a masterpiece. 10/10. Haibara shooting the gun to get the lady to back away was badass. Haibara tricking Shinichi and to make him think he lost the professor was a really good scene, it's like you were there with him worrying about the professor.. I felt bed for Haibara, her sister was a good person mixed with the wrong people, it seems her family is very unlucky.

And that deduction with the chess pieces.. Brilliant.. as expected of course.

Oh man I cracked up for a minute after the professor was laughing and immediately switched to lip-syncing because Conan interrupted him with the voice changer.

Crazy it was the real Night Baron computer virus this time, of course the syndicate would have it... I think Shinichi suspects she did that on purpose.

Yeah... Makes you wonder if the 25 min per episode stat is actually accurate.

Dude I totally did this too, I watched "The Last Wizard of the Century" and found out about Haibara before this episode, it straight up spoils it too explaining who she is and how they knew her in the beginning when they are explaining his tools.. lol I yelled out WTF when I saw it ha..

It sucks when you're already spoiled on who Sherry is. LOL Well it is my fault for skipping a couple of seasons.

Funny thing is, this episode is better than most of the DC movies.

Both mysteries were pretty damn awesome, BUT the motive of the second mystery's culprit: WTF? Such a small thing and you kill your teacher?! Dafuq. LOL

I'm mixed up about this episode. There were good things and bad. Good, the mysteries were good, bringing in Haibara was good, more black organization is good(though we already know nothing big will happen for over 600 episodes). Bad, the kids, why the hell would Conan tell them to wait knowing that they will never wait, the police were also stupid too letting the kids go. The motive to the second crime was kind of not so good and how the hell would someone think of that trick right off the top of their head. I like how other detective anime explain that better.

Well here was a twist, a new character and boy does she make an impact. But of course after all of that they are back to square one. After all this time, man Conan gets no breaks.

I'm disturbed that both Ai and Ayumi, who are meant to be under 7, have secondary sexual characteristics. Why for heaven's sake?!

Nice hour and a half filled with two cases and some events important for the story.
Ai Haibara's first appearance and she's kinda cool... Only one thing bothers me...:

Yup, that one xD I was thinking about it for a whole minute, I think, and then got back
to follow the main plot. It was pretty surprising, considering the fact that this anime is
a detective one and, also, what's even more important, it's meant for kids, too... meh
The cases were more or less interesting... The motive for the 2nd one lame... But OK.

Finally Ai enters the scene ! Very good introduction and cool cases, although the first one was a bit meh with the stupid kids being stupid as always.

For those bitching about the motive in the last murder, remember the guy had complete facial surgery. Dude wasn't right in his head is all.

Did Conan just called the One Billion Yen Robbery Case a nearly forgotten case. LOL
That case was one episode ago, and it had an emtional impact on him. He must really have a bad memory.......

In the manga it's supposed to be 16 volumes before (episode 13 in the anime). It was remade because they butchered it the first time keeping Akemi alive.

This is the reason I skip the "Detective Boys" cases. These dam kids always screw things for Conan which leads to him almost getting killed because of it. Even though this was a BO special the first half was a bit painful to watch because of them.

That said, now that Haibara has joined the group it will make the DB episodes a bit more tolerable. Her personality is just great, especially when conversing with Conan xD

Overall it was a good special and we got some progress in the story.

Just WOW! This was the most relevant episode to the main plot so far. This is becoming better and better. The deducing skills from Conan, the gunshot from Haibara were epic! 10/10.

Wow 10/10 special episode. I finally get to see this Ai person who I have seen on the covers and the earlier remastered episode theme songs. Oh boy this whole black organization thing is gonna take a long time to solve. Not sure what the hate for the detective boys are. They’re kids ofc they’re not gonna listen well. I still like them(well except for Genta)

Such a perfect episode. This episode literally had it all! Comedy, suspense, mystery, plot twist, an awesome murder plan (I know it sounds messed up lol) even the motive was different than most cases so far. Yup, definitely a 10/10 episode!

This case was epic! A LOT happened! We're introduced to new transfer student named 'Ai', she deceived Conan then turned out She's also has shrunk and she developed the pill !(got a taste of her own medicine lol) Conan kinda forgot the robbery case cuz a lot happened. Kind of feel sad her sister wasn't saved.
Nice to get back to main plot.

I havent enjoyed the anime as much as just now after watching this episode. Finally back on the main plot, the connection to the previous episode with the seemingly nice bank teller, and Haibara who betrayed the black organization is now on Conan/Shinichi's side. And to think both of them were sisters! So sad that Conan didnt get there in time to save Haibara's sister :(

I thought it was messed up that Haibara tricked Conan into thinking the professor was hurt/dead (or at least let him unnecessarily believe he was). She showed little or no regret for being at least partially responsible for killing all these people with the drug she developed.

We are supposed to like her, right?

Holy smokes man...

2 hours special!
Haibara debut!
Black Organisation!
Detective Boys!
Locked room case!

What brilliance have I just witnessed... seriously what incredible brilliance.

This ep has all the elements which make this anime my favourite (tho it's only my favourite when we pretend the horrendously animated eps of the last decade or so don't exist). Thank you Gosho for your majestic writing. I was seriously taken aback by how genius it is. Truly compelling. Lucky us.
