Detective Conan: Episode 717

The animation quality in this episode is noteworthy. The production team at TMS Entertainment utilized the setting to great effect, emphasizing the isolation of the Sky Mansion. The wind howling through the cliffs and the precarious nature of the suspension bridge are visual metaphors for the danger Kid faces. Unlike a locked room murder, this is a "locked island" scenario.

Episode 717, "The Demon of Hades' Fire Arrow (Part 1)" (also known as The Demon of Hades' Fire Arrow ), is exactly that. Directed by the talented Yasuichiro Yamamoto and penned by the series’ veteran scriptwriter Junichi Miyashita, this episode kicks off a two-part filler arc that feels anything but disposable.
