Hanzawa-san the Criminal, a spin-off of Detective Conan, a popular manga featured in Weekly Shonen Sunday, has been made into an anime! The main character is a spin-off of the image of a criminal in Conan, wearing black tights. At first glance, you might think that it's a story from the perspective of the criminal in Conan, but it's actually a work in a completely different direction. I'd like to introduce you to what kind of work Hanzawa-san is!
The main character of Hanzawa-san the Criminal is a criminal! ? He's such a pure and common-sense person that you wouldn't think he was a criminal
Hanzawa-san the main character of Hanzawa-san the Criminal wears black tights all over his body, and in the main story of Conan, he is a criminal who operates in secret when his true identity is unknown. Fukazawa's goal is to kill a certain someone! In other words, this work is about Fukazawa working behind the scenes to kill his target. ...That is true, but Fukazawa, who plans to commit a crime, is the one who is constantly at the mercy of the abnormality of the crime-ridden city, Beika Town. The protagonist has a pure personality and a sensible character with very ordinary sensibilities. Relatively speaking, he is the character with the most sensible personality.
Beika Town, the worst crime-ridden city, bares its fangs at Fukazawa!
Hanzawa-san does not commit crimes from the perspective of the criminal, but rather from the perspective of a good young man who aspires to be a criminal, and the insanity of the worst crime city, Beika-cho, which has not even been in existence for a year despite the large number of victims caused by the long serialization, attacks Hanzawa-san. The contradictions that have arisen due to the long serialization are used as material to the fullest extent.
What is so bad about the worst crime city, Beika-cho!?
For example, there are countless examples of what makes it the worst, but there are plenty of episodes such as "When you try to get off at Beika-cho Station, you are stopped and asked, "Do you want to die?!", "Most of the real estate is a property with accidents, and there are only a few accident-free properties left," "There are so many murders that the police's normal work is stalled," and "The security is so bad that going out at night = death, so convenience stores close at 11 o'clock." The characters are resigned to the fact that they don't know when they will die, and there is no shortage of incidents, such as being suddenly arrested or killed.
The Criminal Hanzawa-san, with Characters from the Original Work
The Criminal Hanzawa-san is a spin-off of Detective Conan, so naturally characters from the original work also appear. However, although none of the characters are far removed from the original, they are quite exaggerated.
Edogawa Conan
Our main character, Conan-kun. A mysterious elementary school student who appears at the scene when a crime occurs. Whenever he appears at the scene of a crime, the case has somehow been solved, and he is often with detective Kogoro Mouri and his daughter Ran. However, his constitution that attracts murder cases is activated even when he leaves Beika Town, and murder cases occur wherever he goes. Because if she doesn't solve about two cases a day, the math doesn't add up. Maybe the crimes aren't happening because Beika Town is unsafe, but because the Grim Reaper is causing them.
Mouri Ran
A high school girl with a distinctive hairstyle that has horns. The horns are emphasized. Maybe because she has survived in Beika Town for many years? She is strong enough to stop bullets with her bare hands and bend blades with her bare hands. Overall, the original characters are strong. Maybe it's because you can't survive in this town if you're not strong.
Dr. Agasa
A well-built inventor. However, behind the scenes he is a complete mad scientist who creates super-powerful anesthetics and is looking for people to test on them. If you participate in clinical trials he will give you a lot of money in a short period of time, but if you're not careful, you could die. Haibara, who lives with him, is also busy researching the poison that made him small.
Kaito Kid
Due to the original jinx that there are few deaths in episodes in which Kaito Kid appears, he is worshipped by the residents of Beika Town as a god of survival rates.
Hanzawa's heartwarming daily episodes are ruined!
In fact, most of Hanzawa's episodes are "daily life" stories that depict a heartwarming daily life, and the cuteness of Hanzawa himself and his pets makes him feel soothed, but then the insanity of the crime-ridden city of Beika Town befalls Hanzawa. Sometimes he gets caught up in incidents, and sometimes he is in a situation where he could die. The general flow of the story is that Hanzawa, a very ordinary criminal, gets caught up in the insanity of Beika Town and makes comments about it.
The story perfectly picks up on the original material, which can be said to be extreme, and turns it into material!
The style of the show, which blatantly tinkers with the original characters, picks up not only the characters but also the setting itself and past incidents. There are many things that you will recognize if you know Conan, such as Kudo Shinichi and Kaito Kid being so similar that they are indistinguishable (and one other person), past incidents being related, and look-alikes of past criminals appearing.
When you think of Conan, you think of explosions, and when you think of explosions, you think of spring
Explosions often happen in Beika Town, and they especially happen in the spring, making them a seasonal feature of spring. I think the reason why explosions are synonymous with spring is because the Conan movies are screened in the spring. There are a lot of explosions in Conan movies in general. There's been talk about sponsors and stuff, but explosions are very realistic in movies, so they're going to happen anyway. This is a perfect reflection of Conan's conventions.
Past victims and people who seem to be the culprits!
The incidents that occurred in the main story of Conan, people involved in the incidents, and even lookalikes of the criminals of the incidents appear and are used as material. They appear in quite a few scenes, some of which are broadcast on the city news or appear briefly in introductions to accident properties, while others are just doing whatever they want as a sequel to the places where past incidents occurred with lookalikes of distinctive criminals. A person who looks like Director Tsugawa, who is famous for his scary face and the famous Kiri Tengu Legend Murder Case, also appears in the Conan episode.
【Detective Conan: The Criminal's Fukazawa-san】Charms and highlights
I've tried to introduce what kind of work Detective Conan: The Criminal's Fukazawa-san is! Rather than a story from the criminal's point of view, it's about a good young man who wants to be a criminal and gets caught up in the nonsense of the crime-ridden city of Beika-cho, and his everyday life and common sense are destroyed. It's so funny that I thought the author would get angry, but if you're a fan of Conan and watch it often, I think it's a work that you'll find funny!
