As of September–October 2023, the latest chapter available is File 1118, and many fans are asking: “When will File 1119 drop?”
The previous case—the “Washioyama” arc featuring Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama—ended with Heiji once again failing to confess his feelings.
Because there will be a sizeable gap before the series resumes with the next chapter, this post offers a spoiler-heavy preview and theory breakdown for Detective Conan File 1119, “The Sky”, scheduled to appear in Weekly Shōnen Sunday Issue 50 on 8 November 2023.
Detective Conan 1119 “The Sky” – Spoiler
The chapter opens on the Belltree Tower Sky Deck, where a TV anchor introduces a brand-new, 50-billion-yen glass “sky lounge” jutting out from the observatory.
Funded by the Suzuki Group, the lounge houses its main attraction—and Kaitō Kid’s next target—the “Azure Throne,” a chair inlaid with one of the world’s largest tanzanites.
File 1119 Spoiler ① – After Dark on the Sky Deck
When public hours end, Ran and Sonoko linger. Sonoko teases Ran about Shinichi:
Sonoko「if the two are basically a couple, they should go on an actual date」
unless a handsome rival detective shows up and makes Shinichi jealous.
File 1119 Spoiler ② – How the Task Force Plans to Trap Kid
Inspector Nakamori worries that only one guard watches the door.
Jirōkichi Suzuki explains the scheme: humidity. Heavy mist grounds Kid’s hang-glider and dissolves disguise makeup.
A single security camera faces the vault door; both the real door and the monitor display carry stripes that change color every second, so any tampering will be obvious.
Only One Security Camera
With just one camera trained on the door and throne, any forced entry should be obvious. The color-changing stripes act as a built-in authenticity check.
Moisture Is the Key
Jirōkichi outsourced the mist system to Yoshida Industries.
CEO Yōtarō Yoshida and engineering chief Masuo Kase demonstrate: without protective suits, a person is drenched in 60 seconds.
After a final inspection, staff exit the vault.
File 1119 Spoiler ③ – Kid Makes His Move
The lights go out as the staff depart. Conan sees the monitor’s color border quiver—someone opened the door.
While he sprints downstairs, CEO Yoshida’s wife Satsuki and secretary Kuya Kamiji rush into Security Control; both received an e-mail reportedly from the CEO: “I’ll personally safeguard the gem.”
File 1119 Spoiler ④ – A Corpse on the Azure Throne
Conan finds Kaitō Kid in a hazmat suit—and CEO Yoshida, shot dead on the throne. Kid insists the body was already there; no gun-powder odor suggests he’s telling the truth.
File 1119 Spoiler ⑤ – Saguru Hakuba Arrives
Saguru Hakuba 「Seal the vault—NOW!」
Doors slam shut. Hakuba, serving as Jirōkichi’s special advisor, reveals himself.
His original plan—air-lifting the vault with an Osprey helicopter—falls apart once Conan enters, so he rings the vault with riot police instead.
Kid’s Desperate Bargain
With murder charges looming, Kid pleads for Conan’s help.
Conan agrees, but on his own terms.
File 1119 Spoiler ⑥ – The Detective Duo
When police finally unseal the chamber, two figures stand inside: high-school sleuth Shinichi Kudō—alongside Conan Edogawa.
Hakuba narrows his eyes:
Hakuba「Intriguing… truly intriguing.」
Shinichi「Looks like this is our first face-to-face, Hakuba Saguru.」
File 1119 ends on that electrifying introduction.
Detective Conan 1119 “The Sky” – Review & Theories
The Kid episode we’ve been waiting for is finally here—only this time Kaitō Kid walks straight into a murder scene.
Even better, his opponent is none other than his long-time rival Saguru Hakuba, which instantly raises the stakes. Here’s how the chapter landed for us.
File 1119 Review & Theories ① – Saguru Hakuba Makes a Long-Awaited Return
Hakuba hasn’t shown up in the manga since the Detective Kōshien arc, so his re-entry is a major event.
In Magic Kaito he’s Kid’s most persistent foe, famous for airtight counter-measures; the Osprey-helicopter gambit he planned in this chapter proves he hasn’t lost his edge.
The question is: how far will he push Kid—and what new tricks will Kid need to escape?
Expect a true battle of wits.
File 1119 Review & Theories ② – Hakuba vs. Shinichi: A Detective Showdown
Although Hakuba has long been aware of Shinichi Kudō’s reputation, this is their first face-to-face exchange in the manga timeline.
With a corpse on the “Azure Throne,” the stage is set for an instant deduction duel: Hakuba’s cool, data-driven logic versus Shinichi’s intuitive leaps.
Which prodigy will crack the locked-room setup first?
Fans of classic whodunits should savor every panel.
File 1119 Review & Theories ③ – Toru Amuro Sits This Round Out (for Now)
The previous arc ended with Amuro receiving secret orders to investigate Conan, so some readers expected him to resurface immediately.
File 1119 stays laser-focused on Kid, Hakuba, and the murder inside Belltree Tower; Amuro doesn’t appear at all.
Given how Gosho often links storylines, look for Amuro—or the mysterious respirator-wearing elder— to re-enter near the arc’s finale and nudge the plot back toward the Black Organization.
Stay tuned!
