The official Detective Conan anime channel surprised fans at the beginning of 2026 with a true nostalgic gift. To celebrate the impressive 30 years of the series, which completed three decades on air on January 8th, the team published a monumental video on YouTube with all the openings and endings in its history. With a duration of just over three and a half hours, the compilation works as a musical time capsule, bringing together 133 themes that have accompanied over 1,100 episodes since 1996.
The production, which is already available to all Brazilian fans, includes everything from the first theme “Mune ga Dokidoki” by the band The High-Lows to the most recent opening, “Poker Face,” performed by Amyuri. The initiative serves as the kickoff for a series of commemorative projects for this very special date, which marks one of the longest-running and most successful anime franchises in the world. Additionally, a pinned comment on the video facilitates navigation, listing titles, artists, and the exact timestamps of each song in the timeline.
As part of the celebrations, the franchise doesn’t stop there and has already announced a true marathon of new content for this year. A brand-new two-hour special, titled “Detective Conan: Homicide Case #30,” with a script by Takeharu Sakurai, promises an original story for viewers. Meanwhile, special episodes in collaboration with the J-League, the Japanese football league, and the “Japan International Birdman Rally” contest are also confirmed, expanding the teenage detective’s universe beyond TV.
A Packed Schedule of Tributes
The one-hour special “Episode ‘ZERO’: Shinichi Kudo’s Aquarium Case,” which aired in Japan and also on Crunchyroll, was just the beginning. Thus, fans can expect even more special content throughout 2026. To close the first half of the year on a high note, the franchise will hold commemorative concerts in the cities of Kanagawa in April and Hyogo in May, celebrating the entire soundtrack that has accompanied generations.
Therefore, the legacy of Detective Conan remains more alive than ever. With a video that is both a tribute and a valuable resource for fans, the team shows their affection for the story built. The series, which began its investigation in 1996, proves in 2026 that it still has many mysteries to unravel and many songs to play in the hearts of its audience around the globe, including here in Brazil.
