Continuity is a work in progress. This page is currently being edited. Please consider helping the users to complete the page and fill in the missing pieces if you are able.


Continuity is a concept in fiction used for directly referring to previous stories, establishing for them to be "in the past" of the current story containing the reference to it and thus strengthening the continuity between both or even creating one in the first place by connecting both plots. This is not the same as the Canon, even though establishing continuity helps define elements of the series that are part of the Canon. This can be done by means of a direct Continuity Nod or a Call-back.

The Manga, Anime, Movies, Games and other spin-off material aren't set in the same continuity despite sharing and adapting some of the same stories and influencing each other now and then in certain details. This is emphasized by the separation below.

  • This story also happens during a night on Friday the 13th, which could mean that it's happening concurrently to the night of Friday the 13th in the Foreign Suspect Case (Detective Conan Manga, 605-609), which would also fit the previous chronological info and the following story and the fact that all of these chapters were released relatively close together in real time. It would also imply that at least Files 303-604 of Detective Conan have happened in the meantime between Golden Eye and this story.
  • The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department gets introduced and becomes a recurring setting.
  • To Would You Grow Up (MK Manga: 10): Inspector Ginzo Nakamori chained the glass case in mid-air so Kaitou Kid is unable to hide in the display case, with Kaito Kuroba remembering that he did this several times before - like in that chapter from Magic Kaito Volume 2, for instance.
