Summary:

The movie starts out by showing the girl that Hattori Heji fell in love with in Kyoto when he was young. Kogoro was asked to go to Kyoto to decipher a note and to investigate a robbery and several murders, which all seems to be connected. Kazuha was than called up by Ran to bring them to go sightseeing in Kyoto, while Heji looks for his first love. While looking for his first love, he met Conan by coincidence, who was looking for ways to decipher the note. Heji than helps Conan decipher the code, when he was being attacked by the killer. 

It looks like there was some connection between the incident when Heji was still young, and the killings.

Personal Ratings: 3.5

First of all, I think the case in this show is really quite nicely made, however, I feel that people who don't really know Kyoto well probably would not really understand the part about the roads and what not. So it was kind of hard to interpret all their translations of the road names to the song, etc. So while I was watching the show, I kind of just totally didn't pay attention to all their deciphers, because I just couldn't catch it. Constant use of that Temari song throughout the whole show.

Unlike the normal Detective Conan movies and episodes, this movie has especially a lot more action; where Heji uses his Kendo skills to defeat the enemy. Yet I really like the fact that they didn't forget that Heji is just a regular Kendo student, and would never beat some one who practices with a real sword. 

Of course, I'm just a bit more bias to episodes and movies in which Conan changes back to Kudo Shinichi, but it was so short!
