Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker 2012

Conan Edogawa [Minami Takayama] finds himself pulled into a tense puzzle when Kogoro Mouri [Rikiya Koyama] receives a chilling call warning that a bomb is about to explode, followed by a cryptic clue: “The Boy in Blue and The Blue Zebra, the rain from above …” A car then detonates outside the Mouri Detective Agency, jolting the city into alert. If Conan can decipher the riddle, the danger can be stopped before it claims lives.

The mystery broadens into a full adventure as Conan teams up with the Detective Boys, a lively group that includes Ayumi Yoshida [Yukiko Iwai], Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya [Ikue Otani], Genta Kojima [Wataru Takagi], and Ai Haibara [Megumi Hayashibara]. Their quest sweeps them onto a high-stakes soccer match between Hideo Akagi [Koji Tsujitani] of the Tokyo Spirits and Ryusuke Higo [Takahiro Sakurai] of Big Osaka, where stakes are not only in the stands but in the real world danger of concealed bombs.

Conan quickly solves the first riddle and locates the device planted on the electronic scoreboard of Touto Stadium. He guides the police to evacuate the Spirits’ supporters, ensuring there are no casualties when the bomb goes off. The victory is fragile, however, because two weeks later a new threat arrives in a much more ominous form: a threatening letter delivered to Mouri Kogoro’s residence announces bombs planted across ten stadiums and pledges catastrophe unless a set of conditions is met. Evacuation and defusal attempts are forbidden this time, raising the tension and forcing a sharper, more dangerous game to unfold.

With the police, Conan uncovers a second puzzle and works to avert disaster. The ten-striker plan is revealed, and the message targets the ten field players from the teams. The plan requires the players to perform a secret action, and, through careful coordination, the bombs in nine stadiums are defused. Only the National Stadium’s device appears to be malfunctioning at first, creating an ominous sense of a final, high-stakes challenge. Inspector Shiratori [Chafurin] heads the investigative effort on the ground, tracking leads and interrogating suspects as the clock ticks down.

As the investigation sharpens, Keiichirou Motoura [Norihiro Inoue] emerges as a person of interest, his motive hinted at through the tragic death of his son, Tomofumi Motoura [Satsuki Yukino], a promising young player whose ambulance was delayed by the same mob that once blocked Kogoro Mouri during a game. Motoura’s anger points toward a revenge motive, but the true culprit remains elusive, and Motoura denies any direct involvement.

The real mastermind is Kazumasa Nakaoka [Hiroki Touchi], a man driven by a long-simmering sense of grievance. Nakaoka’s backstory ties a wounded past to a bitter present: a bike accident left him unable to play, and his friendship with Tomofumi grows strained after the boy’s untimely death. Years later, Tomofumi’s death—along with the administration’s failure during a critical moment—feeds Nakaoka’s long-simmering vendetta. He reveals a chilling plan: bombs hidden in ten stadiums, with the National Stadium serving as the final, ominous anchor. The key to defusing the National Stadium device lies at Touto Stadium, where Nakaoka stands with the bomb and the mastermind’s secret countdown.

Conan pieces together a crucial flaw in Nakaoka’s grand design and realizes he is searching for an eleventh striker to complete his revenge. With Ayumi [Yukiko Iwai], Mitsuhiko [Ikue Otani], Genta [Wataru Takagi], and Ai Haibara [Megumi Hayashibara] backing him, Conan confronts the deadline head-on. He works against the odds to deactivate the National Stadium device, racing against time as Nakaoka points out a fault in Conan’s deduction. In a dramatic confrontation, Conan’s analysis proves correct: the bomb is in National Stadium, and the missing piece to stopping it lies in the other location. The eleventh striker—the one who has unknowingly been playing the role of fate—turns out to be Conan himself.

In the end, Conan’s determination and teamwork with the young investigators expose Nakaoka’s plan and thwart the final explosion. The bombs are neutralized, and the city escapes a catastrophe that could have cost thousands of lives. The revelation of Conan as the eleventh striker closes the loop on a case rooted in revenge, loss, and a desperate bid to rewrite a painful past. The narrative leaves a lasting impression of how careful deduction, courage, and the support of friends can turn a deadly game into a resolute defense of countless lives.
