No. In fact it will probably be the first longer than 3 chapter case of the year.

No, of course not. It's a new series, it's part of the File 1000 countdown, and so it'll probably the usual 3-parter case.
Spoiler:
I mean, there's a murder and Conan has barely begun to investigate. Okita just happened to be there (probably on his way to the uncrowded restrooms like Conan and Ran were) and was simply commenting on the victim's fatal wound before introducing himself.
t
Going by the usual pattern, we'll have an investigation part in the next file where there'll be suspects (Okita's high school kendo club members because killer wore their armor) and some kind of alibi trick (the old man is blind and only heard a groan from the victim, it doesn't seem he heard his muttering aloud).

This is happening in Tokyo too so Takagi and Megure will surely come as well (Ran is calling them since Conan stopped her from trying to beat down the culprit hiding in the restrooms believing he could still be armed).

Heiji's match against Okita is supposed to happen soon as well unless the police cancel the tournament, too.

We were given these parallels in past episodes when Wakita and Rumi were involved in a chapter. Both were "Yaiba" references. When Wakita was in the chapter, the Yaiba reference was in regards to "the closest subordinate to the boss appears!" and then with Rumi i forget the exact words but something about a female hero or something
Spoiler:
They are two different Yaibas. The Wakita/Rumi-Yaiba is the in-universe-Anime "Kamen Yaiba", while the Okita-Yaiba is the outside-universe-Anime "Yaiba".

Spoiler:
Since it's a Heiji case do you think Momiji might show up again? There's not so much time to the premiere of the movie too. If so, then probably just for few frames, but still. Maybe she's going to be at the tournament herself? Although I doubt that possibility.
And do you think Okita will have a bigger role in the case? Like, help with some deductions? I didn't read the Yaiba series so I don't really know him. Or is he just gonna be another character who looks like Shinichi?
And if Heiji invited Conan for lunch, what case might he have for him? (Because we all know that he wouldn't just invite Conan without any reason.)
So I hope it will be a good time, here on DCTP. :)
Spoiler:
considering that they took the time to remind us who she is, in the margins white space, there is a likely hood of her either showing up, or being made reference to somewhere in this case.

Its actually a live action show. Its not really explored that much in the manga, however they do meet that woman who played the original Kamen Yaiba's love interest in File 722. The anime originals have the Detective Boys watch the filming of an episode in anime episode 440 where a stunt actor drives off of a building.
I hope that I can find someway to contribute to the community even if it's just random crack theories and looking things up for people who can't find the information they need.

Spoiler:
I'm surprise Okita's face is look like Sinichi since I didn't read Yaiba. I'm curious with Ran. Will Okita make Ran remember Shinichi, just like when she meets KID?

Also iirc when the DB are at Chiba's place, they watch several eps of the first Yaiba series. Pretty sure that in the anime they tried to make it seem old with the wonky edits that would be expected of an old live action series.

With the pages we have so far it seems that the best way to tell the school outfits apart is through the Brest-plate design.

i wonder why'd gosho gives okita appearances again since 2002 (in anime)? Is he going to be a plot character? It's interesting to see another character who resembles shinichi's personality a lot.
Spoiler:
His personality? Appearance, sure, of course, but I don't think Okita and Shinichi share many personality trades.
Like kaito and shinichi, they're detective and thief but gosho shows us that he can make deduction like shinichi does. It can be seen when he disguised as katsuki doito or may

And for okita, we've just to wait until gosho shows us about his "part-time detective skills". It's gonna be weird when the okita's seiyu is kappei yamaguchi too ;D

Okay, but that's because Kaito is smart and was already very smart before Detective Conan, but Okita has not shown to be this smart. I also hope he won't make deductions like Shinichi here, but more like he puts his kendo experience to use that will help Shinichi see through the case.

Spoiler:
Momiji and Iori do indeed appear as expected, for one page in 990. Iori is hanging around at the tournament venue, without a disguise this time, while Momiji is being driven around in a Rolls Royce (I think?).
Image

Also, since there are also no case characters introduced aside from the victim even in the full chapter, it may indeed be a longer case.

He isn't driving it in that shot but i wonder if that Rolls Royce belongs to Iori? Man this guy is so mysterious...

Well, well.
Spoiler:
So they did show up. Iori is already in the hall and Momiji is planning to go there: they plan on inviting Heiji to a party if he wins the championship to the top of a luxury hotel.

When Iori says that Heiji won't have it easy to win she guesses he means Okita and wonders if something can be done yet Iori warns here that there's another, fiercer fighter in the competition.

The old man heard the culprit talk to someone (probably via phone) about bringing a new cutter knife and about two people crossed in front of him and headed to the toilet.

I thought it would be a single culprit but it'd seem they have at least one accomplice.

Now we'll have to see what Okita does and if Iori and Momiji will appear in front of Heiji yet since Momiji is telling Iori to avoid being seen then they probably won't until the championship ends.

Spoiler:
It's not that unusual that we get introduced to case characters in the second chapter of a three parter(like File 815-17), but that usually means that the case mystery won't be as complicated(for Conan at least) and the motives are usually simple(due to them not needing panel/page space). If that's the case, considering that Momiji/Iori seems to have a role in this case, the resolution chapter will have to deal with the case faster so that there's enough space for both okita/Heiji/Kazuha and Momiji/Iori resolution(unless their parts will be short again).

Since this is a 30th-anniversary-of-drawing celebration however, and this is a tournament with many players involved, I could still see this becoming longer. The extra space can be used for more Heiji/Kazuha/Iori/Momiji perspective development and the case can become more challenging and thorough(or a serial murder).
