Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine is the 26th overall movie in the Detective Conan franchise. Gosho Aoyama first serialized the mystery manga in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shounen Sunday magazine on January 19, 1994. A total of 102 tankoubon volumes have been released as of September 2022. Viz Media releases the manga as Case Closed in the English language. The manga series has also inspired a long-running TV anime series that has been airing since 1996. 

The story follows Conan and the Detective Boys being invited to Hachijojima Island by Sonoko Suzuki. Near the island where they’re doing whale watching, an ocean facility called the Pacific Buoy is testing and utilizing a new facial recognition technology. When Conan learns from Subaru Okiya that a Europol member has been assassinated in Germany, he sneaks into the Pacific Buoy and discovers that an engineer with an important USB has been kidnapped by the Black Organization. Meanwhile, a dangerous threat looms towards Ai Haibara.
