I Became the Strongest With the [Status Ailment Skill] From the Misfit Slot and Trampled Everything Vol. 13
—Status Ailment Skill. That was what turned Tomoka Mimori into the greatest enemy, and ultimately the strongest.
Using this once-dismissed “misfit skill,” Mimori reunites with Seras and others in the labyrinth.
At the same time, Eve, who also entered the dungeon, encounters none other than the “First Hero” Ars. Though at a disadvantage, Eve refuses to give up—because she has a place to return to.
Meanwhile, Asagi, traveling with Kobato’s group, makes a shocking proposal to Vysis.
A parting.
A word of betrayal everyone feared but had tried to ignore.
“I want to test my strength against Tomoka Mimori… seriously, on this battlefield.”
From background mob to the ultimate champion, the underdog E-rank hero strikes back—Volume 13!
1st place: Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback
Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback
A Gripping Mystery Amid the Howling Snow—Fates Collide in the Mountains
Kogoro receives an unexpected call from an old colleague from his time at the Metropolitan Police—nicknamed "Wani" (the Crocodile). Wani wants to ask about an incident involving Detective Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police, someone Conan and his friends have previously helped solve a case with.
Ten months ago, while tracking a suspect in a separate case, Yamato was caught in a devastating avalanche. Though he miraculously survived, he lost sight in one eye and now bears a deep scar from the ordeal.
Since then, he has continued working—and during a visit to an observatory to investigate a break-in, his injured eye suddenly begins to throb near a massive parabolic antenna.
Meanwhile, as Kogoro, Conan, and the others head to meet with Wani, the sound of gunfire rings out across the snowy landscape... and they rush toward the scene!
