Major Spoiler Warning.
I'm about to talk about this episode in the Context of my relationship with it as someone who didn't watch all the DC episodes I've seen in order, so I'll be spoiling not just the episode at hand but episodes as recent as 2023.
Spoiler Alert!!
I had been watching through all the Black Organization relevant episodes is roughly chronological order up to the end of the Vermouth arc, but then really started jumping around more randomly. So for example I'd seen all of The Clash of Red and Black before watching this episode that started the Kir saga.
So I found it interesting how Conan is kind of technically committing Treason in how he's working with these FBI agents operating in Japan without permission, removing evidence from Crime scenes and lying to cover for them to the Japanese police officers he works with more regularly and knows more personally. I found it curious how the Japanese audience was so cool with all that.
Then I finally watched this episode, a mistake Conan makes early in the episodes puts his Family in danger and at the end the FBI and Akai particularly essentially saves them by taking the Heat for Conan's tracking device.
And so Conan in indebted to them, and that a very Japanese sense of Honor can explain his loyalty to them.
So I am glad this Episode is Dubbed now, I just also wish more of the prior episodes with these FBI character were as well to set it up. But I did also recently argue against Continuity Lock Out.
