The staff behind the Precure franchise has announced that Star Detective Precure! and Detective Conan will crossover in upcoming episodes of both shows. The Star Detective Precure! episode will air May 31, with Detective Conan‘s episode coming out June 6.
This will be the first collaboration between the two franchises. Merchandise commemorating the crossover are also on the way. Episode 18 of Star Detective Precure! is titled “Meitantei no Assemble” (Great Detectives Assemble). It will feature Conan Edogawa helping the Star Detective Precure attempt to track down the Phantom Thieves.
Meanwhile, episode 1203 of Detective Conan is titled “Hanamaru na Answer” (The Hanamaru Answer). It sees Cure Answer join the Junior Detective League to stop a series of jewellery robberies. Yomiuri TV’s Yoshida Takeshi spoke about the collaboration, saying the following (via Mantan Web):
It’s been a year since I met producer Tada Kanako when she told me, ‘Next year’s Precure will be a detective.’ Thinking back to that day, my heart warms. A collaboration between two works from different TV stations, production companies, and original publishers. There is no precedent, and it seemed like an impossible hurdle to overcome, but my conviction that ‘this will be interesting’ came first. …I’ll leave the hard adjustments that followed to your imagination (laughs). By the way, I’ve included a message for Precure after Next Conan’s Hint, so don’t miss it until the very end. I’ll show you a miraculous collaboration!
