Conan deduces the robbery was committed by Yonekura's team and the deaths were due to a falling out but can't work out the culprit. Conan considers the possibility that Yonekura killed Onda after being blackmailed but he couldn't explain why Yonekura's car had a bomb. Haibara suspects Ishizawa staged his confinement but Conan didn't find evidence of that. Conan couldn't explain why a bomb was only planted in one of Onda's two cars or why the bomb in Yonekura's car had no timer or detonator.

<spoiler>The culprits who killed Yonekura were '''Takeru Kouchi''' and '''Yoshito Mihara'''. Kouchi was killed by a bomb planted by '''Isato Yonekura''' and that was created by '''Katsuji Ishizawa''', who originally planned to kill Suemura, Onda and Yonekura for bullying. Yonekura was the mastermind behind the bombings and planned to kill his four accomplices in the robbery from 10 years ago. The fifth member of the group, who was targeted by Yonekura, is in fact Ishizawa's brother '''Koichi Ishizawa'''. Fortunately, Heiji and Kazuha manage to deactivate their respective bomb at nearly the same time.
+
<spoiler>
 +
Conan deduces '''Yonekura''' was behind the bombings and the plan was to kill Onda, Ishizawa and Suemura on the same day to make his alibi. Yonekura could have directed Suemura to the warehouse and the bomb in his car was actually explosives yet to be made into a bomb, presumably for killing and framing Ishizawa or for setting off at the airport carpark to make it look like he was also a target but escaped death on account of being on a business trip and not in the car. But Onda's death happened a day earlier than expected when his blue car broke down and he had to drive the red one. Seeing the news of this distressed Yonekura to the point that he couldn't avoid being killed. This also threw off the rest of his plan. Ishizawa couldn't ask for help due to the risk of the robbery coming to light.
  
Takeru Kouchi and Yoshito Mihara who killed Yonekura because the victim took credit of their work because the culprits came up with most of the victim recent plans and with him out of the way they can take the top spot.
+
Heiji finds a home video at the Onda residence showing there was a fifth man on the team. The fifth man was Katsuji Ishizawa's brother Koichi. Heiji and Conan set up Katsuji to lead them to Koichi. Koichi says he was supposed to be working as a guard at Abeno Harukas for an event related to the Gomera/Yaiba movie. Yonekura set it up for him. Heiji and Conan realize there are two bombs there and that Ran, Kazuha and the Detective Boys are there too. Heiji and Conan get there and find one of the bombs on the terrace but the other one is inside with Kazuha and Ran. They communicate over the phone and deactivate both bombs together.
 
 
The group committed a robbery and managed to steal 120 million yen in Kobe so Onda, Suemara and Yonekura would be able to pay off their debts.
 
 
 
Onda recently had a failed investment and was on the verge of bankruptcy which caused Yonekura to kill his accomplices because Onda was blackmailing him. Yonekura killed Onda and wanted him to be killed on an even day which Yonekura was to have an alibi and Onda supposed to die on the day of the movie production announcement as Onda drove his red sport car on even dates while the blue one on odd dates but Onda died a day early which distressed Yonekura him to the point that he was not able to get out of the way of the falling Kaiju costume which crushed him to death.
 
 
 
The bomb in Yonekura’s car wasn't a bomb but a set of explosives that had not been made into a bomb which he planned to kill Katsuji with but Kouchi’s driving caused the explosives to explode making his death an '''accident'''.
 
 
 
Yonekura had the authority to make Suemura go to the warehouse where the bomb was that he planted. Yonekura tied up Katsuji and planned to kill him on his way to a business trip to make it seem like Katsuji was the culprit and make his death seemingly be accidental death by the bomber.

    • The producer victim is named after actual Detective Conan producer Isato Yonekura; which is also the second Detective Conan producer who was "persecuted" in the anime, after Michihiko Suwa.
    • The case reveals that Kazuha actually likes the Gomera movies since she watched them when she was young with Heiji although this fact is not confirmed in the manga.
    • Taiho Pictures is a pun to Toho Pictures, the company which produces the Detective Conan movies and Godzilla movies.
    • The ultimate scene regarding the bomb disposal pays homage to Movie 1: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper.
    • The four section titles: (Jo ?), (Yabu ?), (Kyū ?), and (Ketsu ?) originate from concepts of Japanese traditional literature; whilst paying homage to the naming manner of the TV movie Rebuild of Evangelion.
