Translation changes

Anime

• The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:

• Aki Asano - Ashley Underwood
• Kazumi Tsukumo - Katie Banwell
• Mr. Kobayashi - Brad

• The dub had Kogoro on a case in another town, rather than being too drunk to help.

Trivia

• While talking about cell phones, Ayumi says that Mitsuhiko had one a while ago, but that he broke it for the sake of justice. It's a reference to The Kidnapping Location Case.
• Kobayashi is the model for Detective Kobayashi.
• This is the last episode to be dubbed by Funimation Entertainment, and also the final one to be dubbed into English until nearly fourteen years, when Bang Zoom Entertainment released their dub of episodes 965-974.
• This episode seems to show that Conan didn't have a cellphone until later on, although it is only an anime-original episode, and thus unconfirmed.
• In this case, the culprit being a black shadowy figure wasn't only to hide the culprit's identity to the viewers, but the culprit did in fact wear a suit similar. Their identity is revealed when Mitsuhiko takes off the culprit-like face mask.
