Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

This is it.

Wow.

Shall we go?

Good work.

Good work.

I'm sorry.

Genta-kun.

Sorry.

Are they coming to see the studio on their day off?

Agasa-sensei requested a tour for the kids.

They're our future regulars.

If this place lasts that long.

Are we really in trouble?

Have you heard something?

Well, I heard a top-class corporation called dibs on the place.

It's just a rumor, though.

In my eyes are maximum creation!

My detective skills are tomorrow's reaction!

The security guards' anxious conversation leads to some toy-related crime!

Always determining the one truth

with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,

his name is Detective Conan!

The Killer Fist of Talos

"The Killer Fist of Talos, Part One!"

I've been waiting for you.

Sorry to trouble you, Shinobu-san.

Kagami Shinobu (23) President's Daughter/Secretary

The president said he wanted to speak with you.

It must be about the plan we discussed the other day.

What did that—

Oh, excuse me. What did your father say?

I'm sorry, but you'll have to ask him yourself.

He's in his office.

I'll show the rest of you around.

Thank you. Please do.

I will.

That dome over there is for tours.

It's big.

The children must love it.

Unfortunately, it's designed for professionals.

It's for requests for event characters and modeling.

You can take all the pictures you want.

Really? In that case, say cheese.

No, no. You can't take pictures of me.

She must be shy.

Yeah.

Jeez...

But what if another company copies your figures?

Yeah. You should watch out for corporate spies.

Yeah. You don't want any bad supplies.

Genta-kun...

Don't worry. We check everyone's identity and possessions before taking them on tours.

Besides, it's not that easy to get inside the studio.

Really?

Come in.

First!

Is this...?

It's a goblin, like the ones that appear in Western stories.

They're mischievous little imps.

This is the Greek mythological ship Argo.

Heroes like Perseus and Orpheus who became constellations rode on this ship.

You sure are knowledgeable.

Wow!

It's like a dream.

It's Sun Wukong!

That's right. He's riding the Jindou cloud.

He appears in China's "Journey to the West."

What a beautiful ship.

That's the floating boat in the sky.

It's a legendary flying ship that appears in Japanese mythology.

It's facing this way.

Despite its appearance, it's made of fiberglass, so it's light.

Really?

It doesn't seem that way at all.

You can control its position and orientation?

Yes, easily.

With this single remote,

you can control all the facilities and even the security in the dome.

It would be terrible if it broke.

If the remote detects any shocks or malfunctions,

control switches to the control room inside the dome.

When control switches over,

the power inside the dome goes out for a second, but it's safe.

As long as there's nothing wrong with the remote, control switches back to it.

It's a mandragora!

People die if they hear its voice!

It's incredible!

Isn't that the roc?

Yeah, from the Adventures of Sinbad.

The Garuda?

They've even got Indian mythological creatures.

It's the bronze giant.

Talos!

You kids sure are knowledgeable.

There aren't many adults who know who he is.

We're brimming with curiosity.

We're even part of the Detective Boys.

Talos moves even though he's so big.

That's right. We only move Talos and the floating boat for special occasions.

Talos in particular took an incredible amount of effort.

His fists and arms alone were redone countless times.

Make Talos stand up.

I bet that's amazing.

I'm sorry.

He's not finished from the legs down.

What? When is he going to be finished?

Well...

Unfortunately, he'll never be finished.

We wouldn't want to get people's hopes up.

Hanyu Tadashi (25) Kagami Studio Business Manager

Honestly, it's quite difficult to build the entire body of something that large.

Because it's too expensive?

Children these days are so smart.

I wish Yamagata-san could've heard that.

Hanyu-san!

Who's Yamagata?

Yamagata Tokuichi (35) Kagami Studio Chief Designer

Let's not talk about that anymore, Hanyu-san.

Didn't we decide that we'd leave it up to the president?

That's easy for you to say,

but as the one holding the company's purse strings, I'll never agree to it.

Whoa, whoa...

It's true that Talos was expensive, but not having legs will kill him.

Do you kids know the story of Talos' heel?

Yeah!

The only weakness of the bronze automaton Talos,

who protected the island of Crete appearing in Greek mythology,

was his heel, right?

That's right.

Well, Hanyu-san?

For Talos to truly be Talos, he needs legs.

The Talos you saw is too big to leave the dome,

but look.

By breaking him down into parts and transporting them,

the bronze giant Talos can appear before audiences around the world.

Look at this!

It's really light!

What are you doing, Genta?!

Put it back where you found it!

What if you break it?!

It's important!

Go on. Apologize.

Sorry...

It's fine.

You're free to look at and touch everything in here.

Really?

Yes.

All right!

It even looks like bronze up close.

It looks so heavy.

I hope we get to see the completed Talos soon.

I'm so excited.

Yamagata-san.

Yeah. We were right.

Your sense of professional self-satisfaction won't fix the problem.

Whether we live or die is a matter of business.

Then we should be investing in our future!

Under current circumstances, our company has no future.

That's enough, you two.

It's not that easy a matter to compromise, Shinobu-san.

What?

This day—no, every second is important.

In that regard, we agree.

Fine. Let's go get the president's decision now.

Don't go bringing your family's hobby into my business.

Tadashi-san!

Sorry.

Was it just a hobby?

I'll say it again! I'm rejecting your plan!

Do you understand?!

No!

Kagami Eizo (58) Kagami Studio President

Shinobu-san placed the order.

She asked me to design Talos' driving system as cheaply as possible.

What?

I wracked my brains because I understood your daughter's suffering.

How can you say that without hearing me out?

You've lost your humanity.

You go too far.

Why shouldn't I?

President's Office

Because of your cowardice, Yamagata-san will never be able to show off his talents.
