What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Features the established franchise brand; no egregious product placement.

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

A primary villain falls from an airship. Previous off-screen threats are implied.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

Focuses on skin rashes/irritation caused by lacquer rather than graphic wounds.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

No strong or profane language is identified; any language appears likely limited to mild insults or threats, but the available sources are not scene-by-scene.

Religious themes2/5
Why this rating?

The heist targets priceless Buddhist statues and includes a temple setting, making religious artifacts and location relevant to the mystery.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

There is a light romantic misunderstanding involving Ran, Kid impersonating Shinichi, a requested kiss, and the established Conan/Ran dynamic.

Frightening scenes4/5
Why this rating?

Sustained peril includes terrorism, a deadly-bacteria threat, bombs, hijacking, hostage scenes, quarantine fears, danger to children, and a character thrown from an airship.

Sexual content & nudity1/5
Why this rating?

Brief romantic innuendo or suggestion of a kiss.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

A fictional deadly bacterium and irritating lacquer drive the plot; these are hazards in the story, not recreational substance use.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Terrorists attack, characters are slapped, subdued, threatened at gunpoint, tied up, thrown from an airship, and incapacitated during action sequences.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience4/5
Why this rating?

Characters repeatedly confront terrorists, bombs, infection fears, hostage situations, and extreme airship danger to protect others.

Creativity & curiosity4/5
Why this rating?

The film uses inventive detective deductions, disguises, a hijacked airship, improvised bomb-solving, and imaginative action set pieces.

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

Standard ensemble cast for a Japanese production.

Educational value2/5
Why this rating?

The mystery introduces detective reasoning, investigation, deception, quarantine concepts, and some awareness of infectious-threat fears, but education is incidental.

Kindness & empathy2/5
Why this rating?

Protagonists prioritize the safety of the hostages above all.

Positive messages3/5
Why this rating?

Promotes themes of integrity, critical thinking, and protecting the innocent.

Good role models3/5
Why this rating?

Conan, Ran, Kid, Heiji, and others show resourcefulness and bravery, though Kid is also a thief and some plans involve risky stunts.
