The Onoe Conglomerate in Hakodate, Hokkaido received a warning letter from Kid the Phantom Thief. His target: Historical Katanas once owned by Hijikata Toshizo, vice commander of the Shinsengumi. Conan and Heiji were there to foil Kid's plans, but elsewhere in town a body was found, killed by a sword with a cross-shaped wound. This murder, the historical katana, and rumors of a weapon so powerful it could change the outcome of a war... A mysterious swordsman holds the key to this mystery!
