Manga to Special Changes
- In the manga, the victim of the first case was the mansion owner's wife. In this version, similar to the original episode, a bank president named Yamazaki was killed instead.
- Both Gin and Conan are shown in possession of cell phones in scenes that originally did not contain them.
- In the manga, Gin uses a metal rod to knock out Shinichi. Whereas in this version he uses his retractable walking stick, which makes more sense since a such a blow to the head would have left him with more than a minor injury.
- Hina Wada, a character created rather recently in the manga, gets a brief scene where she apprehends a thief by herself.
- Characters not yet created at the start of the manga (like Wataru Takagi, Kazunobu Chiba, Chianti and Korn) get cameos in the special.
Anime to Special Changes
- In the original episode 1, Yamazaki was shot in the chest, in this version he is stabbed with a knife.
- The news castors that are talking about Shinichi as he walks by have been replaced by Rena Mizunashi and a co-host.
- The scenes with the Detective Boys sneaking into the Mystery Coaster and finding the pearl strand were cut. Instead, Shinichi and Ran encounter them playing soccer earlier in the Special.
- Ran and Shinichi visit Sonoko and her parents right before Sewa kills Yamazaki. Sewa himself is there and briefly freaks out when he realizes Shinichi's identity.
- The karate tournament won by Ran is shown. Additionally, both Makoto and Sonoko are seen and it's stated that this is when Makoto fell in love at first sight with Sonoko.
- Instead of a shining white light censor, we see a dark blood fountain during the decapitation scene. There's so much blood that Ran gets all stained with it.
- During the flash forward, the scene where Akemi Miyano is killed is exactly like how it was in the original manga, while the anime altered this scene so that she would live, and later another episode had to be made in order to fix the plothole.
Trivia
- The subtitle of this episode "The Great Detective Turned Small" (Chīsakunatta Meitantei) is the same title that was used by File 002 of the manga.
- During Yusaku and Yukiko's brief appearance, they are in their "Night Baron" and "Fumiyo Edogawa" disguise from Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case.
- During the scene where Eri is talking to Kogoro over the phone, a calico cat is shown lying on her desk. This is Eri's previous cat that is mentioned in File 528, it had died a month earlier off screen resulting in her taking in Goro from a friend. Since this Special takes place before that, her first cat is still alive.
- The number Ran bears during the karate tournament is "910", which can also be read as "Kudo" in Japanese.
- On the cover of Eri Multiplies Ran's texts for Shinichi are the exact same structure and content that were on Ran's note in this special: the note she left for him after their date at Tropical Land in, the one where Shiho finds with a picture of Shinichi and Ran.
