Case Closed Vol. 78 continues Gosho Aoyama’s long-running detective series with a mix of intense mystery, character drama, and small but important steps forward in the overarching plot. This volume stands out because it delivers both clever cases and meaningful developments that keep the story moving.
The Mystery Train arc is the first and most thrilling section of this collection. It starts off as a lighthearted game of deduction when Conan, Haibara, and the others board the Bell Tree Express, but it soon becomes a life-or-death scenario. One of the cars vanishes and a murder takes place on the train, making the mystery seem more significant and perilous than usual. While Bourbon's true identity becomes a major focus, the Black Organization remains in the background. For fans who have been following the series for a long time, these chapters feel like a major payout since they are tight and suspenseful.
After the train story, the pace slows down with a quieter case at Sonoko’s family’s tennis retreat. Conan, Ran, and the Junior Detective League find themselves involved with a group of friends dealing with grief, and when another death occurs, Conan has to untangle a mystery rooted in personal relationships. It is less action-packed than the train, but it brings out a more emotional side of the series.
The volume ends by setting up a new Kaito Kid heist. This case is flashy and playful, offering a lighter mood after the darker stories earlier on. Although the setup does not resolve in this book, it leaves the reader curious to see how things will play out in the next volume.
What makes this volume work is the balance of tone. The Mystery Train is thrilling and dangerous, the retreat case is quiet and emotional, and the Kaito Kid teaser adds a sense of fun. At the same time, Aoyama keeps the larger Black Organization plot alive without giving away too much. It is the kind of volume that reminds you why the series has lasted so long: it can be both entertaining in the moment and important to the bigger story.
Overall, Case Closed Vol. 78 is one of the stronger recent entries in the series. It has clever mysteries, memorable settings, and developments that make the reader feel the main story is moving forward. I would recommend it to fans of detective fiction and especially to those who have been following Conan’s long battle with the Black Organization.

I know I have said this before but this volume of Case Closed has all the makings of a movie! I have never watched a single episode of the anime or any of the movies, so this might already be the case; but this is a fun premise in my mind. This volume finds the Junior Detective's being invited to a murder mystery on a train (pretty cool huh?)! The people onboard are not all new to the team and when an actual murder occurs onboard. I would not say that this series is anywhere near wrapping up, but I do feel lately they have been addressing the evil organization as well as bringing more and more of the characters established throughout the series together. What does that mean for the future of the series? I don't know but this series has been running since 1994! This story is the cover story and appropriately so. The next story deals with tennis and a murder on the birthday of celebrating a friends passing. It isn't a bad story but after the first case, I felt it a little bit of a letdown case. The last few pages of this book start a story starring the Kaito Kid but the details of bulk of the story will have to wait for volume 79 of Case Closed.

5 sao. Xuất sắc.
Tập này, cụ thể hơn là vụ án tàu tốc hành Bell Tree là điểm sáng lớn nhất của Bourbon arc. Nếu so sánh với Vermouth thì cách tiết lộ thân phận của Bourbon có đôi chút khác biệt (và làm mình thích thú). Vermouth (và một vài nhân vật trong Kir arc) được tiết lạ thông qua cách kể "đánh lạc hướng" - red herring, "tưởng là A nhưng hóa ra là B". Chiêu này thì vốn được dùng nhiều trong mấy truyện trinh thám kinh điển rồi.
Sang Bourbon arc thì thân phận thật được tiết lộ theo một cách rất "Conan": là 1 trong 3 "nghi phạm" chính, những người bị nghi ngờ nhiều nhất: Sera Masumi, Amuro Tooru và Okiya Subaru. Cái cách kể chuyện này bác già đã sử dụng nhiều trong các vụ án lẻ nhưng khi áp dụng vào mạch truyện chính của Bourbon arc cũng tạo được rất nhiều sự hấp dẫn.
Vụ án trên tàu tốc hành với sự xuất hiện của hầu hết các nhân vật quan trọng, thêm một chút xíu hint nữa về Akai cùng với việc công bố thân phận của Amuro là Bourbon hay Sera là em của Akai đã thật sự khiến mình rất hài lòng. À còn sự comeback của Kid nữa.
10 điểm xuất sắc.

Aaaaaaah, the suspense! It’s killing me!
At least I figured out who the “guest player” is… one page before it was revealt. But, hey!
More importantly, “the detective known as ‘the sleeping Kogoro’” is now a point of interest ☹

This volume contains the "mystery train" story line, where Conan is trying to solve a murder while as a sub plot the Black Organization is trying to find and kill Sherry (Hainera). It's an interesting continuation of the Black Organization story line that actually answers some questions. Next, Ran and Sonoko bring Conan and Mori to a tennis camp and they get involved in another murder mystery. The next story is the beginning of another Kaito Kid story, continued in the next volume.

Jika di volume sebelumnya pelaku masih menahan atau menyimpan penerimaan itu secara internal, di sini mulai terlihat bahwa mereka tidak lagi benar-benar berusaha menutupinya. Conan Edogawa menghadapi individu yang secara mental sudah sampai pada titik di mana mereka memahami sepenuhnya apa yang telah mereka lakukan dan konsekuensinya.

One Word Rec.: READ
Rating: 5 🔍🔍🔍🔍🔍
Aoyama Gosho; DETECTIVE CONAN [Meitantei Conan #78]
e/read online; genre: { manga, mystery, shounen }; shelves: |comics, GN, manga, manhua, manhwa|
General Synopsis:
As mentioned above, I am going to write a proper review for this soon, but I have a few books ahead of this one in the queue, so I cannot stop reading DC NOW! That's sacrilege. I have decided to read all the chapters available up to now (we are almost to 1000!) As you can see, I am totally fangirling over here and I don't care, because this is one of my favorite manga series, ever! But all of this aside, there are a few things I wanted to list so I don't need to go back and look everything up when I do finally sit down and write my fangirl review. ✌🏻
V.78, includes Files 818 - 828
DO NOT click on the spoiler link if you don't want to read all the cases in this volume, because it will ruin it for you. On the other hand, if you're a fan like me or are looking for a certain case (and please note, these are how I have set the cases), etc. click away, that's why it's there.
Another spoiler link, so don't click if you don't want to ruin this manga. I am going to include the characters introduced or as the series continues are in this volume. Personally, I think us DC fans love certain characters more than other (yes, Heiji, I mean you!), so sometimes when we are re-reading this series (like all the time!) you might wish to start at a specific case or start when a certain character is involved.
Characters in this volume:
Personal Opinion:
#1, I never call this CASE CLOSED. If you do, you're not a true fan of this series, so don't even bother reading my review or my personal opinions. I'm sorry if I offend you, but you offended me first by telling me you want to read CASE CLOSED or you just love Jimmy.
#2, as you can tell by #1, I read this online. I would never waste my money buying a manga series in english that cannot get the name correct and mess up the main characters to make it appear more "ENGLISH." I am so happy I don't run a blog and this isn't a review on Sailor Moon, #1, because I have a huge soap box tirade against DiC. I also don't think there is anything against reading something online. Comics, which is what manga are, are meant to be read and shared and sometimes paying over $10 is too much in my opinion. Plus, I read the newest chapters as soon as they are released from Japan, because I would never miss a release of DC. So this is my personal shout out to you translators from me, Thank You!

WOW! La trama va avanti alla velocità di un treno e c'è di mezzo anche Kaito Kid che, per una volta, gioco un ruolo un po' diverso dal solito!
