Case

Situation

Kogoro's detective agency receives a mysterious phone call. Someone on the other end warns about a bomb and leaves behind a code, "The Boy in Blue and The Blue Zebra, the rain from above ..." After that, a car exploded in front of Mouri Detective Agency.

Bombing
	Location: Mouri Detective Agency Suspects: Shinzou Yamamori, Kaoru Koda, Kazumasa Nakaoka, Ryousuke Sakaki and Keiichirou Motoura After a call from a suspicous man, a Blue Car in front of the building exploded!

If Conan can decipher the riddle, he can stop the bomb. An adventure begins for Conan and the Detective Boys, taking place at a soccer match between Hideo Akagi of the Tokyo Spirits and Ryusuke Higo of Big Osaka.

Planted Bombs
	Date: November 20 Location: Touto Stadium Suspects: Shinzou Yamamori, Kaoru Koda, Kazumasa Nakaoka, Ryousuke Sakaki and Keiichirou Motoura Conan disarms most of the bombs and uses Elasticity Suspenders to delay the collapse of the electric scoreboard and luckily, no one died.

Conan solves the first riddle and finds the bomb planting on the electronic scoreboard of Touto Stadium. He manages to inform the police to evacuate the fans on the Spirits side before the bomb explodes, thus leaving no casualties. However, only two weeks later, another threatening letter was sent to Mouri Kogoro's residence, announcing the bomber has installed bombs in all the stadiums and will explode at the end of the matches, unless certain conditions are satisfied. This time, no evacuation or bomb defuse attempts are allowed.

Planted Bombs
	Date: December 3 Location: All home team stadiums in J1 league Suspects: Shinzou Yamamori, Kaoru Koda, Kazumasa Nakaoka, Ryousuke Sakaki and Keiichirou Motoura

The police and Conan solve the second code and inform the ten strikers of the teams to perform the secret action the culprit has demanded. Thanks to that, they successfully defuse the bombs in nine stadiums, and apparently the activation signal in the National Stadium is malfunctioned. Meanwhile, the police, led by Shiratori, investigates a potential suspect, Keiichirou Motoura. He has a clear motive for bombing: his son, Tomofumi, dies on the way to the hospital, where the ambulance carrying him was blocked by Mouri Kogoro for two minutes, and Motoura carries the crime out of revenge for his son. Motoura, while being angry at Mouri, denies that he install the bombs.

Resolution

The culprit

  Show spoilers »

The true criminal is Kazumasa Nakaoka. His motive is revenge for the death of Tomofumi Motoura, son of soccer coach, Keiichirou Motoura. Back when he was still able to play soccer, he met Tomofumi and the two became friends when Tomofumi begged to learn soccer from Kazumasa. Despite having a weak body, Tomofumi insisted on learnig to play the game which deeply moved Kazumasa. However, after Kazumasa's bike accident, which left him injured and unable to play, the two lost contact. A few years later when Tomofumi was in the 4th grade, the two met again with Tomofumi playing on his school's soccer team. Despite making it onto the soccer team however, Tomofumi never participated in any of the games because of his weak body. When he was given the chance to play during a game, Nakaoka made him a promise that the two would celebrate if Tomofumi made a goal, which he managed to do. On the day that Nakaoka went to celebrate with Tomofumi, he was told by his mother that Tomofumi had died in an accident coming home from practice one afternoon. This left him deeply distraught and upon learning from Tomofumi's father that the ambulance that was carrying Tomofumi to the hospital was stopped by a mob of people during a soccer match, Kazumasa grew bitter and resentful. Especially so after learning that a drunk Kogoro was the head of that very mob, at which point he decides to spend the next few years plotting revenge. Conan deduces that Nakaoka has installed bombs on ten stadiums, save the National Stadium where he achieves his high in his soccer career, luring Kogoro to Touto Stadium and planning commit suicide with Kogoro. Nakaoka points out that Conan's deduction contains a big flaw.

The case

  Show spoilers »

Nakaoka explains that the bomb is also installed in National Stadium, but will explode at 5.50, 35 minutes later than other stadiums, and the key to defuse the bomb at National Stadium actually stays at Touto Stadium where he is standing. In one of his riddles, he reveals he's searching for an 11th striker that can end his revenge; otherwise, the bombs set in each of the stadiums will detonate, taking with them, the thousands of people attending the matches. He originally plans for it to be Kogoro; however Conan shows up instead after deciphering the code. With the help of Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta and Haibara, Conan manages to deactivate the bomb despite being at a disadvantage. Nakaoka realizes that Conan was eleventh striker he was searching for.

Trivia

• Starting from this movie, the movie was produced by V1 Studio, one of TMS Entertainment production studios.
• The movie was made as a collaboration work for J.League 20th anniversary. The movie production was possible because of the friendship between Conan producer Michihiko Suwa and Yasuaki Iwasada, the public relations manager of the J.League, who is a fan of Detective Conan himself. Iwasada was the one to convince Suwa and TMS to make a movie about football.

• The movie is also a commemorative work for the 90th anniversary of Shogakukan.

• According to Suwa, the stadium in the movie was modeled after Toyota Stadium, of the Aichi Prefecture, because Suwa lives in Aichi and it's "the coolest looking stadium there was in Japan".
• Several real life J.League football players provided voice work for animated versions of themselves in the film, including: Kazuyoshi Miura (Yokohama F.C.), Yasuhito Endo (Gamba Osaka), Yasuyuki Konno (Gamba Osaka), Kengo Nakamura (Kawasaki Frontale), and Seigo Narazaki (Nagoya Grampus).
• The names of Tokyo Spirits players are based on real-life players:
  • Masami Kihara comes from Masakazu Kihara and Masami Ihara.
  • Hidetoshi Nagata comes from Hidetoshi Nakata.
  • Kazushi Shimura comes from Kazushi Kimura.
  • Tsuyoshi Itazawa comes from Tsuyoshi Kitazawa.
  • Shigetatsu Masunaga comes from Shigetatsu Matsunaga.
  • Masakiyo Maedono comes from Masakiyo Maezono.
• The movie brought 3.29 billion yen to box office.
• Kazumasa Nakaoka's motorbike is a Suzuki SV 650 S.
• The car that explodes in front of Mouri Detective Agency is a 2001 Dark Blue Toyota Prius I [NHW11].
• In real-life, J1 league has only 18 teams. In the movie, two fictional teams are added: Tokyo Spirits and Big Osaka. The movie takes place in the 2011 J.League season, with Tokyo Spirits fighting for the champion, while Big Osaka is struggling at relegation place. The final match between these two teams ended in a draw, saving Big Osaka from relegation, but taking away the champion's trophy from Tokyo Spirits. The winner was Kashiwa Reysol.
• Apart from real-life J.League players, the special guest voice actor for this movie is Mirei Kiritani who voiced Kaoru Koda.
