[Lots of Pics] First Look at Detective Conan Movie 11: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure

As a die-hard Conan fan, this was obviously an absolute must-watch. Overall, though, I felt it didn’t quite live up to the previous movie—it was missing a lot of those nail-biting, heart-stopping moments. Plus, there were way fewer scenes exploring the relationship between Shinichi and Ran. M11 kicks off with a classic treasure hunt theme, only to wrap up with a “there is no treasure” twist. My strongest takeaway from M11 (Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure): it feels like a mashup of Evan Almighty (Pic 14) + National Treasure + Titanic (Pics 11-13). Quite a few scenes and shots felt heavily inspired by them. Let me post a few screenshots to show you what I mean.

[Pic 2] The legendary treasure map. The red circular dot in the center marks the hidden location of the treasure.

[Pic 3] The skull on the top right of the treasure map. Interestingly, the skull’s teeth spell out “DOS DIOSAS”.

[Pic 4] The legendary hidden treasure site.

[Pic 5] Opening the gate takes a bit of effort; the “keys” have to be placed correctly. (PS: Gives off major National Treasure vibes.)

[Pic 6] One of the “keys” to open the gate—a pistol allegedly used by pirates.

[Pic 7] And here’s the treasure itself. Has a nice historic feel to it.

[Pic 8] Lighting the torches after entering the treasure site… The visual effect also feels a bit copied from National Treasure.
