by It has been announced that the 29th film in the “Detective Conan” series, titled “Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway,” will be released on April 10, 2026. A teaser visual by the original author, Gosho Aoyama, was also unveiled.
Detective Conan, created by Gosho Aoyama, has over 107 volumes of manga and has sold over 270 million copies worldwide. The TV anime series has aired over 1,100 episodes, and its popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
This year’s release of the 28th film, “Detective Conan: Afterimage of the One-Eyed,” grossed 14.66 billion yen, breaking the 10 billion yen mark for the third consecutive year and drawing over 10 million viewers for the second straight year, setting a new record for a Japanese film.
The latest installment in the “Detective Conan” film series, which continues to gain momentum with each new installment, is already underway. The newly announced title for the 29th installment, “Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway,” features Conan and Chihaya Hagiwara riding a police motorcycle. Chihaya, appearing in a film for the first time, is a police motorcycle officer with the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Traffic Mobile Unit, whom Ran immediately praised as the “Goddess of the Wind” upon first meeting.
At the end of August, when the Super Special Trailer announced that Sawashiro Miyuki would be the new voice actress for Chihaya, it garnered 300,000 likes on X (formerly Twitter), the highest number of likes ever recorded for a Super Special Trailer post. Despite being a first appearance, it signals high expectations. Also appearing behind her are Masumi Sera, a high school detective who shares a common bond as a motorcycle rider with Chihaya, and Jugo Yokomizo, a Kanagawa Prefectural First Investigative Division inspector who is constantly at Chihaya’s mercy.
Furthermore, the image of Chihaya’s younger brother, Hagiwara Kenji, and his best friend, Matsuda Jinpei, who have already died in the line of duty, is also featured on top of the image. Anticipation is building to see how they will become involved in the case. And what exactly does the fallen angel depicted sandwiched between them signify? The film “Detective Conan: Highway’s Fallen Angel” will be released on April 10, 2026.
The film is still shrouded in mystery, but a major announcement is scheduled for tomorrow, December 4. Despite being a first appearance, Hagiwara Chihaya is generating great expectations and will create a new whirlwind in the film series, so keep your eyes peeled for the latest film, due to be released next year.
“Detective Conan: Highway’s Fallen Angel” will be on a roadshow at Toho theaters nationwide on Friday, April 10, 2026!
