Haido's Karate Champion
Ran visits Shinichi at his house and they leave to buy the new phone Shinichi promised.
On their way, they meet Genta, Ayumi and Mitshuiko who are playing soccer. Genta hits the ball hard and it goes off-side. Shinichi and Ran travelling through the same footpath give them their ball back. Ran questions why Shinichi left soccer, since he would have been a Samurai Blue Member by now if he continued. Shinichi explains he wanted to develop the reflexes needed for being a detective and cites Holmes who practised fencing. While Shinichi is expressing his fondness about Holmes, they hear a woman cry for help. A thief has stolen her purse. The thief makes a run but is intimidated by Hina Wada. Sonoko approaches Ran from behind and takes her to her home with Shinichi following them behind.
Suzuki Family Scene
There apparently are guests at Sonoko's home. Her mother scolds her for not knocking the door before she entered. The guest, Takanori Sewa seems to have some problems with his New Year Party. He has been receiving threatening letters. Shinichi offers Sewa his assistance, but he declines saying that he has already increased the number of guards. When they stand to leave, Takanori accidentally puts his electronic wheelchair on reverse. Shinichi rushes to help, but Ran pushes him off, saves Takanori and catches the vase which was falling. Takanori initially scolds Ran for trying such a reckless stunt, but realizes his mistake and praises her.
Sonoko and her parents want Ran to use a special suit they made for her for the coming Karate Competition, but there are regulations for the dongi they wear in competitions. She still accepts it saying that she'll use it for her practice, if they don't mind. They are still happy. Sonoko seems all excited, since she had carved "Love Shinichi" on the back collar of the dongi.
In the end, Ran's new phone wasn't bought. Before parting ways with Shinichi, she remembers she forgot her wallet at his home. She finds it and goes to bid goodbye to Shinichi, who is reading at his home library. Ran thinks Shinichi's first crush was his actress mom, but he denies it. Ran questions then who was it? Shinichi stares for a while at Ran and tries to say that it was she, but Agasa interrupts this moment with a mobile rocket experiment gone wrong. Ran provides first-aid to Agasa. Shinichi thinks his experiments are way dangerous for a device carrying out transportation. Agasa brags that he put safety first in building his mobile rocket and starts it again. His rocket flies him away screaming.
Meanwhile, Vodka expresses his suspicions regarding the man who wants to hold their important transaction in an open ground. Gin seems to despise Bourbon.

Resolution
The culprit is Hitomi. She had dated Kishida in the past and was dumped by him. She killed him with a necklace he had purchased for her and tried to shift the blame to Kishida's new girlfriend, Aiko, by leaving a knife in her hand bag. Putting the weaponized "necklace" around his neck as the ride was going through the tunnel is something only a very flexible and agile person could do, and Hitomi was the only one able to do so since she was a skilled gym practitioner; Shinichi had decuded this after the wind lifted her skirt and he saw marks on her upper thighs, coming from her practising her gym routines.

Flash Forward

Sherry Closing Scene
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.
- Shiho sees Shinichi and Ran came from Nazo.
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.
