A Detective Conan OVA that trades murder for golf. Conan gets dragged into a tournament mystery that matters exactly as much as it should, enough to solve, not enough to haunt you. The real appeal is watching the cast breathe in something lighter than usual, where the puzzle is genuinely clever but the stakes stay refreshingly, almost embarrassingly mundane. It's a palate cleanser that remembers Conan works best when you're not thinking too hard about the body count.
Professor Agasa calls Conan to the Beika baseball park with a special request, and he and Ai are already waiting there. A young girl named Minae is struggling to keep up as the only girl on a boys' baseball team, and her coach thinks confidence is all she is missing. On her way back to the bench she trips over a bat that legendary player Hideki Matsui once drove into the ground. Whoever swings it is said to gain a true player's strength and the power to hit any pitch. Conan decides to take matters into his own hands to help her. The twelfth Detective Conan OVA, it is a crossover based on Gosho Aoyama's short story Excalibur.
