Synopsis

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya lends Conan Edogawa a massive amount of manga, which Conan starts reading, despite the overwhelming quantity. Elsewhere, Kogorou Mouri is asked by the Mine family to protect the treasured sword in their dojo, as Kaitou Kid has sent a note of his intent to steal it. Upon arriving at the dojo, Conan and the others meet Yaiba Kurogane. Together, they aim to thwart the phantom thief's plans. However, Conan begins to notice something strange about the case.

Audience Consensus

The OVA is considered a one-time watch due to its weak story and plot holes, despite the enjoyable humor and typical Detective Conan art style. The crossover element with Yaiba is not particularly well-received. Overall, it's a lighthearted but forgettable addition to the Detective Conan franchise.
