Detective Conan's 2026 theatrical film, Angel of the Highway, became Japan's latest annual blockbuster — and when Japanese fans gathered to share spoiler-light impressions, the most-liked reactions weren't about Conan, the Black Organization, or the case at all. They were about a nameless mob motorcycle cop who appears for barely a moment, makes one suicidally selfless call to clear the road, and walks off with the entire fandom's heart. The thread then spirals outward into the things only longtime Japanese fans clock: the gap-moe of veteran motorcycle officer Chihaya blushing in a princess-carry, the gloriously stupid action physics (a bike hijacking a flying helicopter; Ran's offscreen beatdown that the movie literally couldn't be bothered to show), a running joke borrowed from a classic Japanese cop drama ("We can't close off the Rainbow Bridge!"), and a homage-spotting game pulling threads from movies one through twenty-eight. It builds to a quiet gut-punch about a name in the end credits, before landing on the kind of verdict only a Conan lifer would give.
