Detective Conan opening info
The animation for opening 21 had three different versions: One focusing on Takagi and Sato (487), one on Kogoro and Eri (489), and one on Conan, Ran, Heiji, and Kazuha (490), while episode 488 merely played the song over scenes of the main characters leaving for a TV studio rather than using an opening sequence. The first version is the only opening in the entire series to not feature Conan or Ran.
