## Status of Case Closed[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Season_3&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Status of Case Closed")]
Funimation has stopped dubbing Case Closed. They dubbed 130 episodes and 6 movies. However, Although they dubbed season 5, only half the season was dubbed. 11 Episodes were left undubbed. Including the introduction of the important Major Character, Ai Haibara. Ironically, Funimation dubbed movies that featured Ai Haibara as a main character, although she was renamed Vi Graythorn. This led to plot holes for the english dub viewers, as Ai just drops in during the movies, leaving fans who have never seen the Japanese Anime or read the manga (where she was renamed Anita Hailey) to question where she came from and who she is.
