Explanation of Detective Boys Episodes
The Detective Boys (or Shonen Tantei) are Conan and his friends Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko. Any episode classified as a 'Detective Boys' episode, is one in which the Detective Boys are the primary vehicle by which the case is solved. These characters appear many times in other cases as well, but it is only classified as a 'Detective Boys' episode if they are the ones solving the case, or are deeply involved in the plot. Otherwise, it is merely an episode in which they appear.
