CATDOLL: "Detective Conan" M20 dialogue with Akai Shuichi, the voice actor, reveals more plot content

The 20th annual movie of "Detective Conan" "Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare" will be released next month. Before the release, Japanese media interviewed Shuichi Ikeda and Toru Furuya, who are responsible for the voice acting of Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro in this movie. They also talked about the plot and their own feelings about the work. If there are fans who can't wait for the release of the work, come here to watch it first.

When talking about the important roles that these two characters will play in the work, Furutani said: "Oh, what else can I say except looking forward to it! These two have not met directly in TV, and Amuro Toru is quite obsessed with Akai, so I am looking forward to the duel between the two this time." In response, Ikeda also said with deep emotion: He and Furutani are also facing each other after "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam". Then the two also joked about the connection between the character's name and Gundam. Furutani said: "I want to express my sincerest gratitude to the original author Gosho Aoyama who created this character. Speaking of this movie version, I am already... excited."

Did they discuss roles with Mr. Aoyama? Furuya recalled, "I met him once before, and we exchanged autographs because we were both fans of each other. At that time, the teacher said, 'I love Gundam very much,' and now it seems to be true..." As for Ikeda, he regretfully said that he rarely had the opportunity to discuss works with the teacher before.

So when they were acting in this theatrical version, were there any special things that they paid attention to? Furuya said, "There are many highlights in this work, but at the beginning, Toru Amuro was kidnapped by the Black Organization, just like in the trailer, and then Bourbon escaped. This is a big highlight."

Since this is the main storyline, they also discussed a lot with Conan's voice actor Takayama Minami and other staff. Due to the plot requirements, the character of Akai Shuichi "died" for 7 years, but Ikeda does not think Akai is really dead.

Then the two began to talk about life. Ikeda and Furuya both said: If there is important work the next day, then they will never drink. Especially Ikeda complained that if he starts drinking, he can't stop. However, when he was dubbing Gundam, Ikeda often went out to drink with the "Federation Army". Of course, the fight between the two characters in this work will also make people find the shadow of "Mobile Suit Gundam" back then.

In fact, there are a lot of voice actor jokes in this work. For example, there will be a character named Yuya Kazami in the movie version. He is Amuro Toru's subordinate. However, the voice actor was chosen to be Tetsuo Tobita, who is the voice actor of Camus in "Gundam Z".

Finally, the two also expressed their thoughts to the fans:

Furuya: Both Amuro Toru and Akai Shuichi are very charming characters, but their charm has been tripled in this work. Please look forward to it!

Ikeda: This time it's not Gundam, but Conan... But those who understand can enjoy it... The message I want to tell everyone is "We are not playing!" Of course, everyone may think "Just have fun..."
