Detective Conan Movie 29 not only delivers a thrilling new case but also marks the first time Hagiwara Chihaya takes center stage in a Conan movie. It continues to explore the unfinished story of the Police Academy group, a storyline that fans have loved in recent years.
Before Detective Conan Movie 29 officially premieres in Vietnam on July 24, fans can revisit some important anime episodes and movies. These works will help viewers better understand Hagiwara Chihaya and her connection to the Police Academy group.
Meet the “Wind Goddess” Hagiwara Chihaya
A perfect starting point is episodes 1098 and 1099: Hagiwara Chihaya, the Wind Goddess. This is the first time this talented police officer appears in the anime.
Chihaya is the captain of Traffic Police Team 3 in Kanagawa Prefecture, known for her exceptional motorcycle skills, earning her the nickname “Wind Goddess” from her colleagues. She is also the older sister of Hagiwara Kenji, one of the legendary five members of the Police Academy group.
These episodes not only introduce Chihaya’s strong and distinctive personality but also reveal her ties to the police force, which is key to understanding her role in Movie 29.
Next, viewers should watch episodes 1115 and 1116: Chihaya and Jugo’s Matchmaking Party. While Chihaya and Inspector Yokomizo Jugo attend a matchmaking event, a murder suddenly occurs, prompting Conan to investigate.
Besides developing the relationship between Chihaya and Jugo, these episodes also evoke Chihaya’s memories of Matsuda Jinpei, directly linking to the Police Academy storyline.
Understanding the Losses of the Police Academy Group
One of the most important episodes fans shouldn’t miss is episode 304: Police Headquarters Shaken by 12 Million Hostages.
This episode tells the story of a bombing that led to Matsuda Jinpei’s sacrifice while on duty. Although it aired long before the Police Academy group officially appeared, it later became a crucial piece of the puzzle when Matsuda was confirmed as a classmate of Hagiwara Kenji, Furuya Rei, Date Wataru, and Morofushi Hiromitsu.
Additionally, Detective Conan Movie 25: The Bride of Halloween is another must-watch before Movie 29. This film expands on the past of the five Police Academy members through emotional flashbacks, highlighting their friendship, sacrifices, and the losses that Furuya Rei carries with him.
Revisiting these two works will deepen viewers’ understanding of the emotions and memories referenced in Movie 29.
Detective Conan Movie 29 Promises a High-Speed Chase
According to revealed information, Detective Conan Movie 29 centers on a high-speed chase between Hagiwara Chihaya and a mysterious rider on a black motorcycle.
After the suspect disappears, a series of crimes and accidents occur, pulling Conan and the police into a dangerous investigation.
The key to the case involves a motorcycle nicknamed “Lucifer,” believed to be designed similarly to the new generation police bike called “Angel.” During the hunt for the culprit, Chihaya must also confront painful memories of her younger brother Hagiwara Kenji and her teammate Matsuda Jinpei.
For these reasons, Detective Conan Movie 29 is not only a fast-paced detective film but also expected to deliver emotional depth by continuing to explore the past of the Police Academy group.
