Case

Situation

After participating in the opening ceremony, Conan, Ran, Professor Agasa, Haibara, Sonoko, and the Detective Boys are enjoying the view from the observation deck of the 635-metre tall Bell Tree Tower. Suddenly, a bullet breaks through a window, strikes a man's chest and breaks a TV screen, causing everyone to panic. Conan stays calm and, using the zoom function on his tracking glasses to follow the path of the bullet to its source, spots the sniper. He and Masumi Sera, who had been present at the Tower as part of an assignment to shadow the victim, pursue the fleeing culprit on Masumi's motorcycle, but the chase takes a violent turn when the suspect uses a handgun and even hand grenades to take out his pursuers. Even the FBI get involved in the chase, but the culprit and the mysteries of the sniping end up vanishing into the ocean.

The investigation turns up a connection to the special United States Navy squadron, the Navy SEALS and other former US military officers working in Japan. However, the first sniping was just the beginning; as more people are shot, the citizens of Tokyo panic! What is the meaning of the rifle case and dice left behind? As his investigation progresses, Conan soon finds himself in the sniper's crosshairs, only to be saved by Masumi who intervenes and takes the bullet in his stead. And, in the background, Subaru Okiya begins to make his move...

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The sniper/culprit is Kevin Yoshino, while the entire murder plan was created by his master Timothy Hunter. Kevin became Hunter's student and helped him carry out the plan because he wanted to repay Hunter for saving his life during their war operations in the Middle East.

Attempted Murder (Past)
	Location: Middle East (Lebanon) Victim: Timothy Hunter Age: 36 years old Injury: Gunshot wound to the head Culprit: Bill Murphy

The reason for the serial killings was that Waltz was jealous of Hunter's achievements, which belittled his own actions. Waltz set Hunter up so he wouldn't get the Silver Star. He even ordered Murphy to assassinate Hunter, but the bullet failed to kill him, although a fragment of it remained in Hunter's skull and damaged his optical nerves, severely impairing him. Yoshino eventually discovered the deception, but Waltz destroyed the evidence before it could be used in court, driving Hunter into conceiving his revenge plan. The five sniping positions used for the murders, if viewed from ground level, combine to form a pentagon, which marks the five points of a Silver Star.

Attempted Murder
	Target: Jack Waltz Age: 45 years old Method: Sniping Culprit: Kevin Yoshino

Attempted Murder
	Target: Conan Edogawa Method: Sniping Culprit: Kevin Yoshino

Kevin attempted to kill Waltz, but Conan saved the latter by kicking a ball at him to knock him out of the bullet's way. Kevin then attempted to kill Conan, but Subaru saved him.

Bombing and Hostage Situation
	Location: Bell Tree Tower Victim: Ayumi Yoshida Culprit: Kevin Yoshino

Ran, unaware of Conan's plan of saving Ayumi decides to go after Kevin herself but trips ends up being Kevin's target. She is saved thanks to the combined effort of Conan and Subaru, and she manages to take Kevin down after that - for Ayumi, for Sonoko and for Sera. In the end, Subaru Okiya answers a call from James Black with Shuichi Akai's voice.

Trivia

• An official trailer was shown following Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie.
• This is the first movie to feature FBI agents Shuichi Akai and Andre Camel, as well as Masumi Sera. It's also the first non-crossover movie to feature Jodie Starling and James Black, who have previously appeared in Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie.
• 'Dimensional Sniper' is currently the third highest grossing film in the Detective Conan franchise.
• Even though Hunter was the main suspect until his murder, it was already shown that he's not the sniper at the beginning of the movie, as he can be seen walking on the street while the real culprit is escaping on bike.
• This film may have a reference to the film Silence of the Lambs - a scene in this film which the culprit watches Jodie Starling through night vision goggles closely mirrors that of The Silence of the Lambs scene where the murderer watches Clarice Starling through night vision goggles.
• The bike used by the culprit in the first chase (Shinjuku Se 33-17 (新宿　せ　33－17)) is a Honda 250L. Despite being an unmarked bike, this conclusion can be come to by the distinct red, white and black color scheme, as well as the fact that it is the only off-road bike with no windshield in the Honda line-up to be road legal.
• Moriyama drove a blue BMW 3-Series (E90). The license plate number is 新宿 330, ま 8 05 (Shinjuku 330, Ma 8 05).

• Kevin Yoshino's weapons are a SIG-Sauer P228, an IMI Micro Uzi, a Knight's Armament SR-25 with Harris bipod Mk 11 Mod 0 (Used to kill Fujinami and Moriyama) and a Barrett M107.
• Timothy Hunter's sniper rifle used in the war is a Mk 11 Mod 0.
• Bill Murphy's gun used to shoot Timothy's head in the war scene is a pre-war Colt M1911A1 Pistol.
• Jack Waltz's sniper rifle is a Remington M24 SWS.
• This case location in the scene and the movie ending is Tokyo Skytree in Asakusa.
•   Show spoilers »
  Subaru Okiya's identity as Shuichi Akai is essentially revealed during the final sniper battle, as it is revealed that the "only sniper able to shoot that far [from Asakusa Sky Court] is missing, presumably dead..." and was part of the FBI. This is later confirmed when Subaru clicks a button under his sweater while talking to James Black, his voice returning to Shuichi Akai's.
• The same police car from Mystery of the Burning Tent appeared and was shot by the culprit and damaged. It suggests the car has at least been repared once.
