An explosion at a major facility leads to Kogoro Mouri's arrest, and the investigation pulls in Toru Amuro, whose multiple identities and genuine allegiances become the film's central question. Conan finds himself working alongside and against a man whose competence matches his own and whose motives he cannot verify. The case involves counterterrorism, public security, and a satellite program, and the film gives one of the franchise's most popular recurring characters his most substantial screen time by a wide margin. Every revelation about Amuro complicates rather than clarifies whose side he occupies.

The twenty-second Detective Conan film, based on Gosho Aoyama's manga, Zero the Enforcer became the highest-grossing entry in the franchise at the time of its release, driven substantially by the popularity of Toru Amuro among the series' audience. The annual Conan film has run for decades as one of Japanese cinema's most commercially reliable fixtures, and entries centering popular recurring characters connected to the overarching Black Organization plot consistently outperform standalone mysteries. Its record-breaking box office reflected exactly how popular its central character had become among the franchise's enormous audience.
