Original subtitles

The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Alibis and tricks are unraveled.

A graceful mask on the professional wrestling ring.

Solve the case of the masked man.

He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

"Tohto Kokugikan"

Now, let's have renown Detective Kogoro Mouri

pick the real Wolf Face!

Who of the five men here is the masked man, Wolf Face,

in the Teito professional wrestling match occurring right now?

Well?

Is it number three?

Yes! Correct! Exactly!

Just as would be expected of the Sleeping Kogoro.

What spectacular deduction!

It's so obvious that he'd figure it out

with the panel of the real one

being pushed at his face like that.

"The Sullied Masked Hero (Part 1)"

Darn it.

I just took this job because they're giving me good pay,

but what a place to have come to.

What do you mean?

Combat sports are pretty popular among the young people nowadays.

Even the boys in our karate club

use professional wrestling techniques on each other for fun too!

Hey...

Especially that technique that was just used...

Wait, what was it called?

No matter how cool they try to make it look,

it's no more than just kid's stuff.

All right!

You're totally into it.

Hey, Ran.

When is that Wolf Face that was introduced a while ago going to fight?

He's incredibly strong, isn't he?

Wolf Face is fighting in the junior heavyweight title match,

so it'll be at the very end, which is the main event!

Are you saying that he's a champion or something like that?

Right!

After he debuted making an official announcement

that he would take off his mask if he loses,

but he never lost in all the single 65 matches he fought!

But, I'd like to see him lose for once.

Why?

Because if he loses,

we get to see what he looks like!

Hiding his face with a mask.

I'll bet he's probably just some super ugly dude or going bald!

Sorry for being an ugly man.

But, he isn't bald.

What?

Then, don't tell me that...

You're him?

"Takaharu Ogami (27)" -This is the true identity of Wolf Face.

Are you sure it's okay, though?

Coming out without your mask to a place like this.

No worry,

Wolf Face is said to be Mexican.

Besides, I sometimes fight in the opening performance with this face.

But, everybody thinks that I'm just a young wrestler.

Well, I don't use the techniques of Wolf Face at that time,

so I'm just another young wrestler.

So, no one knows your true identity then.

Yes.

Nobody except for the personnel of Teito Pro Wrestling knows about me.

Neither do my parents nor my girlfriend.

I debuted as a mysterious masked wrestler

in Mexico to begin with so...

You don't have the kind of face that you'd have to hide, though.

I like to wear masks!

It's been my dream since I was a child.

Excuse me.

Doesn't it bother you at all?

To hide your identity and deceive everybody.

I'm sure that your girlfriend wants you to tell her the truth.

I really wish that you were Shinichi, Conan.

Ran.

I just said a while ago, remember?

That my true identity is

a secret that only the personnel of Teito Pro Wrestling know of.

If an outsider revealed my true identity,

I won't have to suspect her for having given away my identity

if she doesn't know, right?

But...

Besides, I don't want to worry her.

Wolf Face's match is aired on TV during Golden Time.

The match may turn out to be violent and bloody too so...

Well,

I'm more or less prepared for what is to come.

The time when I take my mask off

is when I lose and sink into the mat.

It's when Wolf Face dies and leaves the ring.

But why did you reveal your identity to us, then?

Well,

the thing is, my girlfriend is a great fan of the Sleeping Kogoro.

I figured you wouldn't give me your autograph

if I was just another young wrestler.

Why didn't you ask me when you were wearing your mask,

just a while ago, then?

But Wolf Face can't communicate in Japanese

unless he uses an interpreter!

Therefore, I wouldn't be able to ask you to give me an autograph

addressed to a girl with a Japanese name!

Besides, I figured that you're not the kind of people

who would give away my secret and shatter the dreams of children.

Well, of course not.

Mr. Ogami, it's about time.

Okay!

Well, then... Her name's inside,

so please give me your autograph!

His identity will be revealed

when he dies?

Mr. Nagase.

Mr. Nagase! Turn this way please.

Mr. Nagase! You're finally going to be fighting against

the invincible champion Wolf Face for his belt,

can you tell us how you're feeling now?

How am I feeling?

All I want is for the people here to watch me.

To watch me fight with all my might

"Hyota Nagase (25)" -against that idiot Japanese leopard

whose mask will be torn off when I defeat him.

Japanese leopard?

You mean Wolf Face is Japanese?

-Oh, no. -It's a joke, just a joke!

We're in a rush, so interview us later.

"Japanese Team Locker Room" -Hey, Nagase!

Just what do you think you're doing?

"Iwao Ushigome (36)" -Didn't I tell you

that Wolf Face's identity is top secret?

And that you're not supposed to say a word about it to anyone!

Are you aware of the fact that

Ogami shoulders half the popularity that Teito Pro Wrestling enjoys!

Then, what is it you're saying, Mr. Ushigome?

Are you telling me, the star of the main event,

who has worked and polished strength as well as gain popularity

to go out of my way to lose deliberately on this gala occasion?

It's true that you're just a good looking

or even better than him,

but with the strength that you possess now,

you couldn't possibly beat him.

Just what are you talking about?

What's important for a wrestler is looks.

If not, a wrestler with your ability

would've become popular a long time ago, right?

What?

Hey, Nagase!

That's no way to talk to your superior.

"Hiroyuki Sakuma (25)" -Hold it.

You don't want to hurt a precious body just before a match, do you?

Okay then.

I'll be flexing my body like always in the room.

So when it's time to fight the match, please call me.

Well, if I win,

I'll give all of you a mask as a gift.

So that you guys can all hide your ugly faces

and gain more popularity.

Yeah. No problem.

Chances are 200 percent my win.

Although, it's a hidden fact,

his left knee is not completely healed yet.

If I target his weak point, I can stop him in his moves

and if it looks like I'm about to lose, that's fine too.

All I have to do is peel his mask off on the mat, that'll be it.

Everything will work out just fine.

I made the young ones at your place wear masks

and I practiced time and again with them

on how to tear off the mask during the match.

The match will be cancelled once his identity is revealed,

and I'll be fired,

but Teito Pro Wrestling's popularity will go down too.

I'll end up the unfortunate wrestler

who is fired from Teito Pro Wrestling

for revealing the true identity of Wolf Face,

and go up on the ring at your place.

I'm counting on you when that time comes.

Okay, Bankoku Pro Wrestling?

He sure is the leader of Teito Pro Wrestling.

It's finally time for Wolf Face to fight!

I gotta go to the restroom!

You better come back quick or the match will start!

Yep!

So where's the restroom...

Mr. Ogami?

Amazing.

He's so different from who we just saw.

Hey, Wolf!

"Leonardo Rossi (30)" -Good luck.

Shoots. I better go to the restroom quickly.

Hey, kid!

This place is off limits to everyone except authorized personnel!

Come on, I'm just going to the restroom!

No...

The restroom for the general public is on the second floor...

Hey, Nagase!

Just what do you think you're doing!

The match is going to start!

Hey, Nagase! Hey!

What's up, Sakuma?

Mr. Kiba.

Is something wrong with Nagase?

Well...

Nagase won't come out of the waiting room.

Well, we had a slight argument a while ago,

and nobody wanted to be his corner man,

so I decided to be his corner man and came to call him but...

Then, why don't you just drag him out of there

and make him get up on the ring!

But, he gets outraged saying that

his concentration is interrupted

if we go in without his permission.

Who does that green-horn think he is?

Hey, Nagase!

Hurry up and come out!

Nagase?

Hey, get a hold of yourself! Nagase!

No good.

There's no pulse.

What?

Hurry and get an ambulance and the police!

Yes, sir!

Darn it, who...

who could've done a thing like this?

Don't you hear a strange noise?

What?

A strange noise?

It's coming from that bag.

A hidden camera?

Nichiuri TV?

"Nichiuri TV"

Don't tell me that the killer is in the video...

This is...

Wolf Face?

We're sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.

The challenger for the junior heavyweight title match,

Hyota Nagase, is unable to fight

because of a sudden accident.

Therefore, the title match with Wolf Face that had been scheduled

has been cancelled.

What?

No way.

The victim is Mr. Hyota Nagase, age 25.

He belongs to the Teito Pro Wrestling team.

A professional wrestler?

Yes, he'd been getting stronger day by day

and was steadily gaining popularity.

He seems to have been stabbed to death.

Yes.

He's been stabbed in a total of three places

which are his back, his chest and his stomach.

The blow that took his life was the final stab in his chest.

How do you know that the final stab was in his chest?

Well...

that's what we saw on the video before you got here, Inspector.

The video?

You mean a surveillance camera?

No. It is a hidden camera that Nichiuri TV,

who holds broadcasting rights

to our Teito Pro Wrestling Team set up in this room!

They wanted to film in secret Nagase

just before the title match.

Whenever he fought at the Tohto Kokugikan,

he used to do warm-up exercises alone in this room.

I see.

Will you show me that video too?

Oh. Here it is!

If so, the case is just as well solved!

The killer is shown on this tape, right?

Well, the thing is...

Wolfman?

Rather, a wolf's mask?

Wolf Face.

The masked wrestler that is popular now.

He's a junior heavyweight champion

and was scheduled to fight Nagase tonight for the title.

Since Wolf Face publicly announced that

he would reveal his true identity if he lost.

So it was a match in which his mask was at stake.

Which means in order to protect his title and identity,

the masked wrestler killed Nagase before the match

without realizing that there was a hidden camera here.

Oh, not really.

Not really!

Almost all the people of the Teito Wrestling Team

besides Nagase knew that there was a hidden camera here,

and once this wolf's mask is worn,

Wolf Face could be anybody, right?

Conan?

Which means that the killer is Wolf Face himself

or a professional wrestler with the same kind of physique as Wolf Face

who wants to set him up as the killer, right?

A professional wrestler with the same physique?

Because the killer that is in the video is

about the same height as Mr. Nagase.

Wolf Face is about the same height as Mr. Nagase, right?

Yeah.

Besides, this room is closed to everyone

except authorized personnel!

Only another professional wrestler

could stab a professional wrestler in a place like this!

I already gave the forensic officers

the murder weapon, which was a knife,

the gloves and outfit of the killer,

that was found in the restroom nearby, so don't worry!

I see.

So, Mr. Kiba,

please bring that masked wrestler and the professional wrestler

that has the same physique as he does here!

Yes, sir.

But, Conan. Why are you here?

I wanted to go to the restroom

and I heard the other wrestler making a fuss

over Mr. Nagase not coming out of his room,

so I came to check out what was happening!

No, rather,

who brought you to this professional wrestling grounds?

The famous Detective Kogoro Mouri, Inspector!

It's you after all, God of Death.

Well... Please let me see it too.

The video tape which shows the murder being committed!

Oh, it's you.

This is when the killer comes into the room.

Hey...

I have nothing to talk to you about before the match.

Or do you want to ask me to lose on purpose?

The video just shook just now.

I think the killer's foot touched the bag

in which the video camera was hidden.

I already told you that I'm going to go for it seriously tonight.

He's already holding the knife.

-What do you think you're doing? -He stabs Mr. Nagase in the back first.

Then as he turns around,

Mr. Nagase is stabbed again in the stomach.

Hey. Isn't the victim trying to say something?

But, the killer covers his mouth so nothing can be heard.

He's going for the mask!

Come to think of it,

the blood smeared mask that I found in the restroom

was ripped about 10cm under the part of the right eye!

Then, maybe the killer's face can be seen.

Then, the final blow in the chest.

Darn it! Only if the killer would look this way.

But, why is he looking around like that?

Maybe he's looking for something?

He fell?

Okay, get up, just the way you are!

Then, we get to see a close up of his face

from the ripped part of the mask.

Darn it. It's the left profile of his face of the part

that's not ripped that we first saw.

And, he leaves the room.

But, if a blood smeared man like him walks around,

I'm sure that somebody would've noticed him.

Oh, yes,

the young wrestler who was in front of the restroom

seems to have seen a man with blood on his outfit.

It seems that the man went into the restroom

hiding his head with a bath towel,

that the young wrestler took no special note of him,

thinking that it was just another veteran wrestler,

who was smeared in blood after fighting in the opening performance.

I see.

If he hid another outfit in the restroom beforehand,

he can change clothes then come out

looking as if nothing had happened.

What time is the estimated time of death?

A definite time has not been concluded yet but...

It was probably some time during the match Mr. Kiba was fighting.

Because three minutes after the killer left the room,

Mr. Kiba's roar of victory.

See! You'll hear it soon!

-Right? -You're right.

Which means that the time the murder was committed is...

Around 7:20 pm.

Inspector, I brought the four

who have a physique similar to Nagase.

So, please let me know when you find the murderer.

It's a promise, Inspector.

Okay.

Oh, there he is!

Mr. Kiba! Is it true that Mr. Nagase was killed?

Are the four that just went in suspects?

Please answer us, Mr. Kiba!

-Mr. Kiba? -Mr. Kiba!

Gosh, his lips are sealed.

But, this means the end of the Teito Pro Wrestling Team.

Yeah.

All right then, from the person on the right,

please give me your name

and where you were around 7:20 pm.

Yeah.

Judging from the circumstances,

the killer should be among the four.

Who was it?

Who was it among these four people?

The person who killed Mr. Nagase.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Mask"

Sleeping Kogoro will make his appearance in the next episode.

I see, Pops is my mask.
