A Japanese man says he escaped a sinking car by remembering a tip from Detective Conan.
His car was hit and went into a river after another driver reversed near a cemetery.
For the first 20 seconds he thought he was going to die, then a scene from episode 1078 flashed through his mind.
He waited for the cabin to fill so the pressure equalized, pushed the door open, and swam out.
A nearby resident helped him onto the bank. He wrote that he “can’t thank the creator of Conan enough.”
