Both "Lupine the 3rd" and "Detective Conan" are big titles that can make movies with only one title, but how did this collaboration plan come true?

Just the week before this animation · business forum +2014 is held, Friday road SHOW! "Detective Conan 14th target" was broadcasted. This work is the second movie version released in April 1998, but according to the material distributed by Mr. Suwa, the audience rating is 16% and it is the leader of the same time zone. Looking at the generation ratio by generation, we have gathered support from the so-called child layer (male and female, 4 to 12 years old) and the teen stratum (male and female, 13 to 19 years old), and indeed 1 of 5 children It is calculated that the person was watching Conan. Even the works of 17 years ago can see from how much you can leave this figure, you can see how famous Detective Conan is familiar.

"Lupine the 3rd generation" which collaborated with Conan is also widely known animation. This is the original work of Monkey · Punch's manga, the first episode of TV anime was broadcasted in 1971. However, due to circumstances such as honoring for adults and strong counterprograms, we finished with 23 episodes but later the 2nd and 3rd series were made. Currently once a year, Friday road SHOW! New TV specials are being broadcast.

As you can see, both Conan and Lupine are big titles that can make specials and movies on their own, Mr. Suwa says, "No matter how you think about it, you do not have to do it together." Mr. Suwa originally proposed Lupine's new TV series project in 2007, but it overlapped with the time when Doraemon changed generations, and although the work was not made at the judgment that "there is no lupine" , It seems that it was a story of collaboration that came out instead. The television station places great importance on the project of "anniversary of the anniversary", there is a culture that raises big fireworks from doing, so in the year 2008 Yuppie TV will be 50th anniversary and Nippon Television will celebrate the 55th anniversary, so the story will be advanced. did.


It is the original author who is important in advancing collaboration planning. Lupine vs Conan was promoted as a result of being a fan of Monkey · Punch who was the original creator of "Lupine the Third" by Ayama Gyoho who is the original creator of "Detective Conan". Thanks to that, I can take even to talk about what Monkey · Punch's OK can be taken, and the TV special broadcasted in 2009 has been completed successfully.

Just co-starring a dream, "Lupine the 3rd vs. Detective Conan" broadcast decision


Mr. Suwa cited as "difficulty in planning" is "the difference in the world view". For example, in the scene where "people fell from the building", people are sure to die if Conan's view of the world. On the other hand, if Lupine's view of the world, Lupine will never die, no matter what height it falls from. In order to put the two works which absolutely do not intersect in one picture, "to bring Conan to the world of Lupine and to make it active" and "Lupine comes to Conan world to put tea" The story was advanced on the premise that it is not from the beginning but to make a work of Fifty Fifty.

It was a new country in the world view of Lupine that was the stage of the television special, where an incident occurred and Conan and Kogoro came in pursuit of the orchid which was taken away. It is hard to get here, and one of the difficulties of Conan is "I can not go abroad." The reason is that the boy named Edogawa Conan is in a state in which the body has become smaller due to the side effects of drugs high school student detective · Kudo Shinichi drunk, because he does not have a passport. Therefore, in order to go abroad, it seems that the story was assembled in such a way that Fujiko carries it with a submarine that it has. In Concerning, Conan clings to the wheel of an airplane which entered takeoff position, and it is getting into the cargo room from there. Mr. Suwa laughed about this as "It is impossible to say it clearly", but still made the scenario established with the theory.

In terms of drawing, it is also called a collaborative work, and if it is a scene that Conan side character and Lupine side character are at the same time, for example, Masaaki Sudo who is the drawing director of the Detective Conan draws Conan and there Hirayama Satoshi, director of drawing directed by Lupine, was made in a style like drawing Lupine. Inevitably the work will be complicated, but in this way, looking at Conan that is drawn earlier, "Lupine side staff inspire me to make it cooler than this", the opposite case also occurred It became "drawing up", so the site could be made with a good tension.

It was created in response to this trend, the movie "Lupine III vs. Detective Conan THE MOVIE" released in 2013. The poster that was first published was a collaborative design, and it has been attached with a catch phrase "Settled (Keli)" on it.


In the movie, it was decided to hit the wall that was overcome at the time of the television special. That is "music". It is Mr. Katsuo Ohno who is in charge of music of the detective Conan, Yuji Ohno who is in charge of music of Lupine the 3rd. Either one is a big prize, even though collaborative works it can not be asked to do as "It's all right with only half this time". According to Mr. Suwa, when using the TV special, I used a huge archive of the past and used songs of each work so that the songs used are about the same usage time. However, since it would not work if it was a movie, we allocated a somewhat aggressive one for the music line made by Acoustic Director and convinced him to tell him, "Please make this for this reason." That's right.

A movie trailer looks like this, Suwa says, "It's a particularly nice thing, even among trailers of past Conan films."

The movie was spent a total of hundreds of millions of yen, and the movie was released, aiming at a box office revenue of 3 billion yen that the recent Conan movie has reached, but box office income as of February 9 goes beyond the target It was 4.17 billion yen, and the total number of visitors was 3.53 million people, and Suwa-san was also very satisfied.


By the way, episodes are always in the end of the movie of the Detective Conan movie after the end roll and it is a trick to see until the end. As usual, the image which becomes the key of the next work and the message "◯ __ bullet production decision" are issued, but in Lupine vs Conan it is a big effort, so there is no special mechanism It is done. It is a place I'd like you to see in the theater what kind of thing it is, but Suwa says that this last part of the gimmick and at the beginning Lupine is Conan, Conan is good to be able to make scenes to introduce Lupine And that.

"Detective Conan" movie series 18th work "Detective Conan: Different dimension sniper (Sniper)'Released on April 19th. Tizar poster is in charge of illustrations by Mr. Aoyama Gyouchang every work.

From now on, when you see a collaboration project of a famous work, it is interesting to see what kind of ingenuity is being done to mix more than two works.
