Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet

Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet (2021) is a Japanese anime feature you can watch online on iFILM. It's the twenty-fourth film in the long-running boy-detective franchise, and this round plays as a high-speed action mystery.

Tokyo is gearing up for a massive global sports festival, and to mark the opening, the city unveils the world's first vacuum maglev train — a thousand kilometers per hour from Nagoya to the capital. Then, at a reception for the games' sponsors, corporate executives start vanishing one by one. Conan catches what the adults miss: the kidnappers' method echoes a case from fifteen years earlier at the games in Boston. FBI sharpshooter Shuichi Akai joins the hunt — the marksman whose past gives the film its title.

Director Chika Nagaoka keeps the action moving without dropping the puzzle logic that fans show up for. Expect a chase aboard a bullet-fast train and some honest deduction to go with it. Newcomers won't know the cast, but the set pieces read fine without the backstory. Stream The Scarlet Bullet online on iFILM.
