Detective Conan: The Moon Shines on the Survivors of Police Academy

Told from Hagiwara Tsukito's perspective, this story follows the five members of the Police Academy group as they train and grow, step by step. The plot takes its time, but none of the essential storylines are missing.

Tsukito sees the dangers hidden in the world. In both the ordinary world and the underworld, he faces the perils of fate closing in and the Black Organization tightening its grip.

He bears the constant backlash of cause and effect and the accumulating damage to his body in order to witness his companions' growth, dismantling the Organization's layers of assassination traps and eliminating its peripheral agents.

While undercover, Hagiwara Tsukito discovers that the Black Organization covets the power of the underworld. It experiments on living people, hoping to decipher the world's laws, mass-produce imitation Dying Will Flames, and use this illusory power to pursue immortality.

They do not understand that Dying Will Flames originate from the essence of life. Artificial, inferior flames have no root or soul, and are ultimately nothing more than a dream.

Tsukito moves among the Organization's dark upper ranks, wary of Rum's fanatical obsession with the Moonfire sample. Every time he averts a tragedy or protects the bonds around him, the piercing backlash of cause and effect eats away at his body, while the shackles of fate follow him like a shadow.

Lying low and matching wits at the Police Academy, then venturing into the abyss at great personal risk, Tsukito and the five work together and bring down the false-flame project. He watches his companions outgrow their inexperience and shoulder greater responsibilities.

The destruction of Rum's faction is only the prelude. The true enemy behind it all remains hidden in the shadows.

The Vongola gears fall into place, the Moon Wolf awakens, and the deadly form of the Balance-and-Deficit Secret Casket is unlocked. Bearing the flames of the moon, Tsukito will face the eternal night.

Note: This story does not feature younger characters such as Conan, Sonoko, and Ran. At this point, they're still in elementary school. Let the children go to school and stay out of dangerous affairs.

Theme: This story follows a protagonist who bears the power of Moonfire as he resists a predetermined fate and infiltrates the darkness. It shows that fighting fate always comes at a cost, and that even when trapped in the abyss, one must never lose sight of who they are. True strength has never come from supernatural abilities, but from the bonds of trust between companions. Those who greedily seek to seize the laws of the world and pursue immortality are doomed to destruction. When ordinary people stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong and uphold justice, they can dispel the darkness and its illusions.
