In Japan, the series is titled Meitantei Conan (名探偵 コナン ?, Detective Conan) but was changed due to legal issues with the title Detective Conan.[2] The episodes' plot follows Conan Edogawa's daily adventures.
The episodes use five pieces of theme music: two opening themes and two closing themes. The first opening theme is "Destiny" by Miki Matsuhashi until episode 258[3] The second opening theme is "Winter Bells" by Mai Kuraki until episode 270.[4] The third opening theme is "I can't stop my love for you♥" by Rina Aiuchi for the rest of the season.[4] The first ending theme is "Aoi Aoi Kono Chikyuu ni" (青い青いこの地球に ?, lit. "The Blue Blue Earth") by Azumi Uehara until episode 265.[4] The second opening theme is "Yumemita Ato de" (夢みたあとで ?, lit. "After I Dream") by Garnet Crow for the rest of the season.
The season initially ran from October 29, 2001 through July 8, 2002 on Yomiuri TV in Japan.[3][4] Episodes 255 to 285 were later collected into nine DVD compilations by Shogakukan. They were released between October 22, 2004 and February 25, 2005 in Japan.[5]

| Ran and Conan attended a court session where Eri Kisaki won another case. Expecting to go for a celebratory dinner together, Ran was disappointed when Kisaki had to go and attend a pro bono case to defend a man accused on a murder charge. Three years before, the victim had killed the suspects only son in a drunk driving, and had managed to get off lightly. The suspect was unhelpful and insisted he could not remember what happened the evening of the crime when he encountered the victim by chance at a hotel. Kisaki, with the help of Ran and Conan, tracked down the suspects estranged wife to the eatery she was running. They were surprised to see Mori Kogoro turning up. Not only was the eatery one of Kogoro's watering hole, they learned that he was present there the night of the murder. Upon questioning, it appears that Kogoro could provide alibi for the accused, who also turned up the same evening at the eatery. Kogoro's evidence was based on the time shown on his mobile, when he was woken up from his drunken nap by the proprietress to receive an incoming call. Conan however, noticed that Kogoro's mobile was always kept in his coat which was always hung on a rack when he patronised the eatery. He also noticed that it was the proprietress who brought the ringing phone to him when he was in a drunken stupor. Shortly, the prosecutor, Reiko Kujo, had a meeting with Kogoro in the eatery and Conan suspect Kujo must have perceived the same thing he did. | ||

January 21, 2002 |
| Kogoro's evidence for the suspects alibi was put into doubt by Reiko Kujo during the court hearing, turning him unwittingly from the defendant's witness to the prosecutor's witness. Anxious to make up to Kisaki, Kogoro conducted his own investigation, after obtaining the suspects residential address from Takagi. Conan went along and came across a matchbox in the suspects home, taken from the eatery. Reviewing the case notes, Kogoro realised what actually happened, but it took Conan's help to establish a convincing case during the court hearing to reveal the truth. Kisaki won the case and was proposing a dinner with Kogoro outside the courtroom, but the latter who just woke up from the effects of the tranquilizer dart, was distracted by a beautiful female passer-by. | ||
