Two of Toei Animation's biggest currently-airing TV franchises — Detective Conan and Star Detective Precure! — just confirmed crossover episodes running across May and June 2026. The Precure series shares the detective-coded register with Conan, and Toei is leaning into the structural overlap.
Quick answer
Per the May 24 announcement, Detective Conan and Star Detective Precure! are running mutual crossover episodes across May and June 2026. Both series air on Toei's broadcast slate (Yomiuri TV / TV Asahi for Conan, ABC TV / TV Asahi for Precure). On SenpaiRanks, Detective Conan sits in the long-runner ranking tier; Star Detective Precure! tracks as a current-season entry in the Spring 2026 ranking board.
What the crossover looks like
Crossover episodes between Toei franchises typically run as one-off plot-light events — characters from one show appear in the other's regular episode structure without overhauling either continuity. The detective-coded overlap means the writers have an obvious connective tissue: both shows lean on case-of-the-week deduction structures, even if Precure's case is wrapped around a magical-girl transformation arc.
For Toei this is also a scheduling tool — pulling Conan's audience into the current Precure cycle (which is still in its season-one fan-acquisition phase) and reminding the Conan core that the studio's broader catalogue is connected. Both shows' SenpaiRanks pages will mark the crossover episodes for cross-reference.
How both shows rank right now
- Detective Conan — long-runner tier on SenpaiRanks. Per-season scoring is steady; the franchise's adjusted rank has plateaued at the high end of the long-runner band.
- Star Detective Precure! — Spring 2026 entry. Pre-cour signal was solid for a Precure season opener; ranking will firm up as the cour back-half lands. Crossover with Conan should give the show a measurable bump in voter base over the next 4-6 weeks.
