<Mai Shiraishi's comment

I was very surprised to be able to participate in the world of Conan, which I have watched since I was a child, but I was also very happy! I thought it would be a wonderful memory in my life.
I played Elenika Lavrentieva, the leader of the Russian unit, so I was conscious of playing a strong woman. I also tried my hand at the Russian language, so please pay attention to my performance! This was the first time for me to do postrecording, so I was anxious, but it was fun! I was so nervous, but I had a lot of fun! I was so nervous because we were recording in the same place where professionals always record.
It is a really, really wonderful story, and I, as a viewer, am looking forward to its completion. I hope you will enjoy watching this work and become harried, thrilled, and excited with various emotions!

＜Producers: Hidemine Kondo, Takeshi Shioguchi, and Kiyoaki Terashima commented on the reason for the casting of Elenica.
In selecting the role of Elenika, we placed importance on her "hidden strength". Mai Shiraishi's core strength within a soft atmosphere was the deciding factor in casting her. It was her first challenge as a voice actress, and she had to deliver many lines in Russian, but she did it with great concentration and responsiveness. We believe that a new side of Mai Shiraishi has been expressed in this performance, so please enjoy it at the theater!

<Story
Tokyo's Shibuya is bustling with people during the Halloween season.
A wedding ceremony is being held at Shibuya Hikarie. There, Detective Sato of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is dressed in a wedding dress. As Conan and the other guests look on, a gang of thugs suddenly bursts in and attacks, injuring Detective Takagi, who was trying to protect her. Takagi survives and the situation is resolved, but in Sato's eyes, he sees the image of the Grim Reaper that he had seen when Detective Matsuda, whom he had been in love with, was killed in a series of bombings three years earlier.
At the same time, the perpetrator of the serial bombing case escaped from prison. Is this really a coincidence? Public Safety Police officer Rei Furuya (Toru Amuro) is hunting down the man who buried his colleague, Detective Matsuda, when a mysterious costumed figure appears and attaches a collar bomb to him.
Conan visits the underground shelter where Amuro is hiding to disarm the collar bomb, and he hears about an incident three years ago when he and his classmates from the now-deceased police academy encountered an unidentified costumed bomber named "Pramya" in Shibuya. Soon after, a disturbing shadow looms over Conan and his team as they proceed with their investigation.
A scramble for destiny is lit.
Now, the festive Halloween is transformed into a frenzied nighttime show!
