Manga to anime changes

• The Wounded Great Detective: When thinking over whether to tell Ran his secret, he recalls his parents parting words from The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases. The anime omits that clip.
• The Third Choice: In the anime, after it's revealed that Shinichi is really Heiji, Megure made a comment about how they don't need anyone else showing idiotic behavior like Kogoro (prompting an annoyed stare by Kogoro, with Megure passing his comment as a joke).
