TMS Entertainment announced on its Bluesky account on Tuesday that it will screen the Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram (Detective Conan: Hyakuman Doru no Michishirube) anime film at Anime Expo. The film will screen at room 403AB on July 4 at 2:45 p.m.
TMS Entertainment describes the film:
The Onoe Conglomerate in Hakodate, Hokkaido received a warning letter from Kid the Phantom Thief. His target: Historical Katanas once owned by Hijikata Toshizo, vice commander of the Shinsengumi. Conan and Heiji were there to foil Kid’s plans, but elsewhere in town a body was found, killed by a sword with a cross-shaped wound. This murder, the historical katana, and rumors of a weapon so powerful it could change the outcome of a war… A mysterious swordsman holds the key to this mystery!
