Sex and nudity in Detective Conan: Episode One - The Great Detective Turned Small
Minimal. There are a few brief, innocent romantic beats — a quick kiss on the cheek and a couple of hugs between Shinichi and Ran (non-sexual, affectionate). Nothing explicit or suggestive is shown.
Violence and gore in Detective Conan: Episode One - The Great Detective Turned Small
Moderate, non-graphic violence throughout: hand-to-hand scuffles, a couple of brief gunshots, and menacing assaults by members of a criminal group. A few characters are threatened, pushed or knocked unconscious, and a dead body is found during an investigation; blood is not emphasized or graphic. Scenes are tense but stay within non-graphic anime action.
Language in Detective Conan: Episode One - The Great Detective Turned Small
Light and occasional. Characters shout, call each other insults and threaten one another; there are a few mild expletives and raised voices but no frequent harsh profanity. The tone is more tense than vulgar.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Detective Conan: Episode One - The Great Detective Turned Small
A central plot point: Shinichi is forcibly given an experimental drug (APTX-4869) by two mysterious adults, which causes his body to shrink; the act of being drugged is shown directly. This is depicted as a violent, criminal act rather than recreational drug use and is a key cause of the ensuing danger and identity-change plot.
Mature themes in Detective Conan: Episode One - The Great Detective Turned Small
Moderate themes: murder and investigation, organized crime/assassination attempts, identity loss when Shinichi becomes a child, and the emotional strain on friends and family. The film emphasizes danger from a shadowy criminal organization and the long-term consequences for Shinichi/Conan and Ran.
