Detective Conan Episode 10775 May 2026
The episode begins with Conan, Ran, and Kogoro visiting a vintage clock tower set for demolition. A wealthy collector is found dead inside the mechanism room—strangled by a broken gear chain. The victim left a dying message: a broken pocket watch stopped at 7:35. The suspects include the collector’s assistant, a clockmaker, and a local historian. Conan deduces that the time actually points to a mirrored number (5:37 on a 24-hour dial) to reveal a hidden safe.
This episode is a "Meta Episode." It adapts a recent manga arc where Gosho Aoyama draws himself into the story. It serves as a celebration of the series' longevity and offers fans a glimpse into the "workplace" of their favorite author, albeit fictionalized for the plot.

| Theme | How It’s Presented | Significance | |-------|-------------------|--------------| | Music as a Code | The killer embeds clues in sheet music, music boxes, and performance times. | Highlights Conan’s ability to think laterally and reinforces the series’ long‑standing love for riddles that intersect with culture. | | Identity & Deception | A detective masquerading as a detective; a violin forged to look genuine. | Echoes the series’ central conceit of Shinichi’s hidden identity as Conan, emphasizing that appearances can be misleading. | | Time Pressure | The midnight deadline creates a “ticking‑clock” atmosphere. | Raises tension, a classic device in Detective Conan episodes that forces rapid deduction. | | Artistic Integrity vs. Greed | The stolen Stradivarius represents cultural heritage, while the motive is pure profit. | Serves as a commentary on the black market for rare instruments and the moral cost of exploiting art. |
