 * Adults Are Useless: Averted, except in the case of Kogoro. Eri Kisaki, Yuusako and Yukiko Kudo, Heizo Hattori, Ginzo Nakamori, the police, and the FBI are all quite competent.
 * Asshole Victim: Adam in the first case.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: Heiji and Kazuha, Kaito and Aoko, Kogoro and Eri.
 * Busman's Holiday: Carries over from the series. Constantly Lampshaded.
 * Canon Welding: It’s a Crossover fic between Detective Conan and Magic Kaito, but takes it even further than Conan itself has gone: Not just Kaito, Nakamori, and Hakuba show up, but just about everyone else from MK does too. Aoko, Akako, Snake Jii, Kaito’s unnamed mother, (named Minami for this fic,) and in a couple of flashbacks, Aoko’s (dead) mother.
 * Cameo: Inspector Zenigata shows up for a cup of coffee with Inspector Nakamori. Also, some of the author’s friends make recurring cameos, including the suspects (and victim) in the first murder.
 * Cell Phones: Almost everybody has one. Shinichi (Conan) and Ran communicate almost entirely through texts and calls from his cell.
 * Cherry Blossoms: They remind Heiji of his first love,  as seen in Movie 7.
 * Clothes Make the Superman: A variant, carried over from the original: Conan/Shinichi’s mind is as sharp as it ever was, but in the body of a kid, he’s no match for an adult, hence his gadgets.
 * Dreaming of Things to Come: Akako does this, often deliberately.
 * Drives Like Crazy: Yukiko and Sato. Comes in handy at least once each. Early on, Yukiko brings Heiji to the train station fast enough that he’s not late picking someone up. On a more serious note,  And Sato
 * Early Bird Cameo: The aforementioned friends of the author show up at a Karaoke place before being involved with a murder.

 * Flashback: Several, mostly to scenes in the manga/anime or movies. The prologue is entirely flashbacks, starting with the death of Toichi Kuroba, and Time Skipping forward through a few more moments.
 * Gratuitous Japanese: The author was studying Japanese at the time, so honorifics are used. A few other words, too, but it’s done quite well.
 * Great Detective: Too many to count.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Kazuha has been jealous for years of Heiji’s First Love.
 * Japanese Honorifics
