A Pretty Cure Character Appears in Meitantei Conan Episode「はなまる真実」
On the Pretty Cure side, a character will appear in the Meitantei Conan episode 「はなまる真実」, airing on June 6 at 6:00 p.m.
The story begins when Yoshida Ayumi hears news of a series of bizarre thefts in a town she’s visiting, which reminds her of plot elements from the “Pretty Cure” anime she follows. She gets excited, saying: “If the thief shows up, I might get to meet a Pretty Cure!” The young detective group volunteers to guard a jewel shop rumored to be the next target — and while they successfully catch the gang of thieves, Ayumi notices something feels off…
Comments from Both Producers
Yoshida Takeshi (Producer, Meitantei Conan / Yomiuri TV) said: Ever since the day I met the producer from Pretty Cure’s side and heard “next year Pretty Cure will be a detective,” a full year passed. Before the intense adjustments happened, what I felt most was confidence that “this is going to be a lot of fun.” Even though the two series are on different TV stations, different production companies, and different original publishers, they also dropped hints about Pretty Cure in the “Next Conan’s Hint” segment. Don’t miss it to the very end!
Tada Kanako (Producer, Meitantei Pretty Cure! / ABC Animation) said: About a year ago, I went to visit producer Yoshida myself to propose a collaboration with Meitantei Conan. I knew there would be many obstacles, but I was determined to try — and in the end, it came true, because the Meitantei Conan team shares the same spirit: “the most important thing is to give viewers a great time.” As a longtime Meitantei Conan fan since childhood, I feel deeply moved and grateful beyond words. And finally: “This collaboration is packed with surprises and fun — from the very beginning to the very end. Detective Conan, let’s go!”
