Detective Conan: “The Murder Case of No. 30” airs on Friday Roadshow on September 25!

“Detective Conan: The Murder Case of No. 30,” a special commemorating the 30th anniversary of the TV anime series, will air on Friday, September 25, 2026, at 9:00 PM as part of the “Friday Roadshow” lineup. It will be broadcast nationwide on the Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV network, with the exception of certain regions.

Although it has not been revealed what the “No. 30” in the title refers to, the tagline is “Japanese banknotes must be beautiful—.” As revealed in the staff comments discussed below, the film’s subject matter is a counterfeit money case.

Teaser Visual and PV for Detective Conan: “The Murder Case of No. 30”

The teaser visual features a black-and-white composition, which is rare for the series. Conan stands with light streaming in from the background, and at his feet, a long shadow and what appears to be a black liquid spread out. Flanking him on either side are structures reminiscent of factories or workshops; combined with the tagline, the composition suggests the story will take place at a facility related to banknotes.
The teaser PV was released on September 5, 2026. The video opens with Conan walking out from the same location shown in the visual, and the logo appears as banknotes flutter through the air. The logo is accompanied by the English title, “The Counterfeit Case of Ultra 30.”

The plot of Detective Conan’s “The Murder Case of No. 30” revolves around a counterfeit money case

Comments from the director and screenwriter, released alongside the announcement, reveal details about the film.
According to director Fumiharu Kamonaka, the story is based on a counterfeit currency case that occurred in Japan. The plot involves detectives—including Conan, Kogoro Mouri, and Heiji Hattori—as well as the Metropolitan Police Department, the National Police Agency, and prefectural police forces from across the country, all working together to tackle a case involving national security. The focus is on how the culprit used the counterfeit bills to carry out their crimes.
Screenwriter Takeharu Sakurai explained that, since this is an anniversary special, he felt it should be a “celebration,” so he structured the story with the goal of having as many regular characters participate as possible. After considering how to feature the many police officers scattered across the country, he chose a counterfeit money case as the plot because it is a crime that can unfold nationwide.
The genre is mystery—a hallmark of original TV anime—and, given its two-hour runtime, the episode also incorporates action sequences reminiscent of a theatrical film. Sakurai also noted that he has not yet seen the finished product.
