Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram, the 27th feature film of the franchise, is setting new records at the Japanese box office. The franchise ritually releases one film yearly, and most have never disappointed fans.
This time, Conan and Heiji are on a case to capture Kid before he can steal a Japanese sword. Coincidentally, someone is found murdered by the same sword. The plot and animation attracted a wide range of movie-goers to the theaters.
This is probably why the film broke box office records in 2024 and is still going strong.

[This story contains spoilers from the season two finale of Tokyo Vice.]
Many heroes brought down ruthless yakuza crime lord Shinzo Tozawa (Ayumi Tanida) in the season two finale of Tokyo Vice.
But for many faithful fans of the Japan-set and American-produced crime drama on Max, watching Akiro Sato (played by Show Kasamatsu), the young resilient yakuza member of the Chihara-Kai clan, deliver proof of Tozawa’s treachery to the oyabuns of various clans was a greatly satisfying ending to the 10 episodes that have been soaked with violence, honor, dishonor, loyalty and betrayal.
And of all the yakuza portrayed in the series about the Japanese organized crime world, Sato was the one member who sought quiet and peace, in his own way.
Tokyo Vice fandom pages indicate that Kasamatsu’s portrayal of Sato leaps off of the screen, similar to the series’ main star Ansel Elgort, who plays real-life American journalist Jake Adelstein, who moved to Japan in the ‘90s...

The search for truth comes with its own perils and high cost, but to what extent does that justify bending morality to one’s convenience? Facing mortal danger and concerns for his family as Jake Edelstein makes a final stand against the Yakuza boss Shinzo Tozawa, his actions raise questions like this. After thorough investigation for a prolonged period of time, Jake and the rest of his journalist team at Meicho Shimbun learned about Tozawa’s dealings with the FBI, which allowed for his violent takeover of Tokyo’s underworld since his return from the United States, and also for his liver transplant as well. Tozawa’s wife, Kazuko, whose family fortune was the reason for the Yakuza boss’ rise to power, became fed up with her husband’s illicit extramarital antics and constant negligence and decided to inform Detective Katagiri about the possible locations where the FBI documents might have been stored.

The landscape of the Tokyo underworld was massively affected by Tozawa’s presence, whose dastardly acts created unrest among Yakuza and changed the existing dynamic with the cops. In his absence, situations took a significant turn yet again as a false sense of security momentarily grasped everyone. However, the third episode of HBO Max’s Tokyo Vice hints that Tozawa has possibly returned sooner than expected, which will put several lives in mortal danger, starting with our protagonist duo, Jake and Katagiri.
While the first episode of the second season of Tokyo Vice revealed Polina’s death to be connected with the vice minister’s high-profile scandal, the deliberate destruction of evidence in Meicho by unknown perps resulted in the case being dropped. Tozawa had left the country previously, and Katagiri learns that he might have moved to the States for reasons unknown. On the other hand, upon learning that...
