Yaiba fighting with the Haō-ken on Kogoro's TV.
At the end of the case, [Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") sleeps in front of the TV in the [Mouri Detective Agency](/wiki/Mouri_Detective_Agency "Mouri Detective Agency") on which [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") can be seen, wielding the [Hao-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Hao-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hao-ken (page does not exist)") with the energy blade he uses in his final battle against [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") in his demon form during Chapter 233-236 ([Yaiba Volume 23](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_23 "Yaiba Volume 23"), [Chapter 1-4](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_23#The_Holy_Sword_of_Light "Yaiba Volume 23")).

A rock-solid Easter Egg... Okay, I admit, that was bad.
One of the stone statues inside the seemingly haunted house the newly founded [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") enter is (fittingly enough) the [Rock Soldier](/wiki/index.php?title=Rock_Soldier&action=edit&redlink=1 "Rock Soldier (page does not exist)") from the so-called "Pyramid Arc" of *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*, who appeared in Chapters 178-181 ([Yaiba Volume 18](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_18 "Yaiba Volume 18"), [Chapter 2-5](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_18#A_Mysterious_Phantom_Appears "Yaiba Volume 18")).

Considering that Ran met the game protagonist's rival in person by now...
[Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") uses a "Game Man" handheld and a (fictitious) game called "YAIBA no Daibōken" ("YAIBA's Great Adventure") to distract [Ran Mouri](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri") from the fact that he's [Shinichi Kudo](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo"). While acting like he's playing it, Conan also mentions [Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") as in-game adversary. The highscore list of the game also is the deciding evidence for Conan to solve the case in the end.
While the game itself is made up, it is probably an allusion to the real game [*Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba* for Game Boy](/wiki/Kenyuu_Densetsu_Yaiba_(Game_Boy) "Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba (Game Boy)") released in 1994.
## Volume 4[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Crossovers_in_the_manga_with_Yaiba&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Volume 4")]

Yaiba as ~~Hentai Kamen~~ "Kamen Yaiba".
The less perverted version.
This chapter marks the debut of the [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys")' favorite superhero, [Kamen Yaiba](/wiki/Kamen_Yaiba "Kamen Yaiba"). His name is not just a combination of "[Kamen Rider](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider "wikipedia:Kamen Rider")" and "[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane")", he's also a reference to a moment from *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* Chapter 184 ([Yaiba Volume 18](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_18 "Yaiba Volume 18"), [Chapter 8](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_18#The_Secret_Plan_to_Strike_Back "Yaiba Volume 18")), when Yaiba Kurogane put on [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine")'s underwear like a mask to protect himself from the attacks of the [Cedar Pollen Soldier](/wiki/index.php?title=Cedar_Pollen_Soldier&action=edit&redlink=1 "Cedar Pollen Soldier (page does not exist)"), resembling the Rider a bit and jokingly calling himself "Kamen Yaiba" because of it.
In the same chapter we get the first appearance of an [ONY](/wiki/ONY "ONY") brand product: The television in the display window showing the arrest of [Dino Cavane](/wiki/index.php?title=Dino_Cavane&action=edit&redlink=1 "Dino Cavane (page does not exist)"). After [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") took control of [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan") in *Yaiba*, a lot of company names were "oni-fied", with almost all of them being plays on brand names from real life - with SONY of course becoming "ONY". [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") later on integrated this fictionalized company in *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")*, *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")*, as well as their derivatives and adaptations, too.
Furthermore, one of the hints for the treasure hunt is the "hat" referring to the sign board of a "Cafe Terrace Jubei", close to [Tohto Tower](/wiki/Tokyo_Tower "Tokyo Tower"). Besides being [a historical person](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagy%C5%AB_J%C5%ABbei_Mitsuyoshi "wikipedia:Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi"), [Jubei Yagyu](/wiki/Jubei_Yagyu "Jubei Yagyu") was also an ally of Yaiba Kurogane in *Yaiba*. There's also a sign saying "KAPPA" in FILE.38, shortly before the Detective Boys go into the alley Conan tries to get them away from - perhaps a reference to the Kappa(s) living in the [Dark Sphere](/wiki/index.php?title=Dark_Sphere&action=edit&redlink=1 "Dark Sphere (page does not exist)") in *Yaiba*, even though it's unclear in this case whether it could be an allusion or not.
## Volume 5[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Crossovers_in_the_manga_with_Yaiba&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Volume 5")]

Imagining that song with Conan's flat singing voice...
The cover for the chapter shows [Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") and [Ran Mouri](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri") singing karaoke in front of a monitor depicting [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane"), while the subtitles spell out "Yuuki ga Areba" - the [opening song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwnx46uV6fs) of *[Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba](/wiki/Kenyuu_Densetsu_Yaiba "Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba")*.

Probably makes hellishly good pictures.
The TV in the hotel room at the beginning of the case is an [ONY](/wiki/ONY "ONY") brand model and the disposable camera used by the culprit is a "ONY Onicolor Flash" (differing in spelling between "Onycolor" and "Onicolor"). Additionally, [Satoru Imatake](/wiki/index.php?title=Satoru_Imatake&action=edit&redlink=1 "Satoru Imatake (page does not exist)")'s next novel mentioned in the same case, "Kenyuu Densetsu" ("Legend of the Swordmaster" or "Brave Sword Legend") is a reference to the Anime *[Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba](/wiki/Kenyuu_Densetsu_Yaiba "Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba")*, which is translatable as "Legend of the Swordmaster Yaiba" or "Brave Sword Legend Yaiba".
## Volume 7[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Crossovers_in_the_manga_with_Yaiba&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: Volume 7")]

From bunny to island... is this an up- or downgrade?
The name [Tsukikage](/wiki/index.php?title=Tsukikage_Island&action=edit&redlink=1 "Tsukikage Island (page does not exist)") ("Moon Shadow") for the island is identical to one of [Kaguya](/wiki/Kaguya "Kaguya")'s henchmen in *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*.
### Pro Soccer Player Case (Manga: [69-71](/wiki/Volume_7#Pro_Soccer_Player_Case "Volume 7"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Crossovers_in_the_manga_with_Yaiba&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: Pro Soccer Player Case (Manga: 69-71)")]
So, if I'm playing the antagonist... Is this Onimaru's *Wario Land* to Yaiba's *Mario Land*?
The brand-new videogame "Onimaru Quest" is, of course, a reference to [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") from *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* - you can even make him partly out in his demon form and his distinct armor on the cover [Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") is looking at. The game content is - again, similar to "YAIBA no Daibōken" - an important clue for the case.

Look like they were made by some really unsuccessful Mangaka.
[Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa"), irritated at still being small and having to visit the children's floor of [Beika Library](/wiki/Beika_Library "Beika Library"), finds two books, titled "Kaitō Boy" (= *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")*) and "Samurai Shōnin", which is *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*. He comments that these books are "boring", so... nice jab at... yourself, Gosho?

[Minami Takayama](/wiki/Minami_Takayama "Minami Takayama") of [TWO-MIX](/wiki/TWO-MIX "TWO-MIX"), who is a central guest star during this case, was the voice of [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane"), too. The music cassette which she shows the [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") also has an [ONY](/wiki/ONY "ONY") branding.

It's also being told that the bear transformed into a werewolf now and then when drunk.
When [Matasaburo Saika](/wiki/index.php?title=Matasaburo_Saika&action=edit&redlink=1 "Matasaburo Saika (page does not exist)") explains the origin of the bear Jubei's name as that of the [historical Samurai](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagy%C5%AB_J%C5%ABbei_Mitsuyoshi "wikipedia:Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi"), with the latter being depicted in the panel background exactly as he looked back in *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*.

Michiko Kurogane as a middle schooler on Shizuka's old photo (right).
[Shizuka Hattori](/wiki/Shizuka_Hattori "Shizuka Hattori") was crying on her old photo because she lost against a younger girl from the first year of middle school in a kendō tournament when she was in the second year - the other girl in question being a young version of [Michiko Kurogane](/wiki/Michiko_Kurogane "Michiko Kurogane") (the blonde girl in the back of the photo, still going by her maiden name "Tsubaki" at this time, as can be seen on the sign at the wall), the mother of [Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and [Moroha Kurogane](/wiki/Moroha_Kurogane "Moroha Kurogane"), looking like her daughter back then and making her the first *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* character to [canonically](/wiki/Canon "Canon") exist in [Conan's](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan") world. [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") confirmed these things in the [Shōnen Sunday Special Booklet](/wiki/Interviews#Shonen_Sunday_Special_Booklet "Interviews") published in 2013.

He's there on behalf of his school, the [Senshin High School](/wiki/Senshin_High_School "Senshin High School") from [Kyoto](/wiki/Kyoto "Kyoto"), in which [Heiji Hattori](/wiki/Heiji_Hattori "Heiji Hattori") is longing for his fight against Soshi in order to get his revenge for a fight that took place a year ago - during which Soshi injured Heiji so severely behind his ear that the wound did not stop bleeding and the duel had to be stopped, which made Soshi the winner. [Kazuha Toyama](/wiki/Kazuha_Toyama "Kazuha Toyama"), along with Heiji's mother [Shizuka Hattori](/wiki/Shizuka_Hattori "Shizuka Hattori"), watches a spectacular fight of Soshi Okita and searches for Heiji, who is at the same time involved in a murder case.

A thunderous applause for this deity, please.
This case revolves around two scrolls featuring the Shinto gods [Raijin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raijin "wikipedia:Raijin") and [Fūjin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C5%ABjin "wikipedia:Fūjin"), representing thunder and wind respectively, who are important entities in *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* - [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") uses [Raijin's sword](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)") and gets possessed by the deity a couple of times, while [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") gets completely transformed by Fūjin and his sword to become his incarnation on Earth.

There are several references to *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* in this case: First of all, when the [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") meet [Noriya Makabe](/wiki/index.php?title=Noriya_Makabe&action=edit&redlink=1 "Noriya Makabe (page does not exist)") at the supermarket while browsing through a walkthrough book, they mention the [Hao-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Hao-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hao-ken (page does not exist)") ("Sword of the High/Supreme King") by name as the mightiest sword of the game - which Noriya possesses, imagining the sword exactly like it looked in its regular form in *Yaiba*.
[Kamen Yaiba](/wiki/Kamen_Yaiba "Kamen Yaiba") also appears on the TV, fighting the [horned Oni](/wiki/index.php?title=Oni_Minions&action=edit&redlink=1 "Oni Minions (page does not exist)") usually serving as [Onimaru's](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") goons. Last but not least, the game console - a riff on the Playstation - is of course made by [ONY](/wiki/ONY "ONY").

Soshi Okita's introduction.
The so far biggest, direct crossover between *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* and *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* has been during the kendō tournament at [Tohto Gymnasium](/wiki/index.php?title=Tohto_Gymnasium&action=edit&redlink=1 "Tohto Gymnasium (page does not exist)"). [Soshi Okita](/wiki/Soshi_Okita "Soshi Okita") reappears in a larger speaking role and uses his "Five-Pieces-Thrust" technique from *Yaiba* again - he also references [Zatoichi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi "wikipedia:Zatoichi"), just like [Musashi Miyamoto](/wiki/Musashi_Miyamoto "Musashi Miyamoto") did during [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane")'s battle with Okita. The latter's introduction is furthermore a recreation of his introduction panel in *Yaiba*. Additionally, [Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") wears the uniform of the [Shinsengumi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinsengumi "wikipedia:Shinsengumi") on the cover of FILE.991, who were led by Soshi's ancestor [Soji Okita](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okita_S%C5%8Dji "wikipedia:Okita Sōji").
"Hi! Have you played *Onimaru Quest*? It features... me!"
[Momiji Ooka](/wiki/Momiji_Ooka "Momiji Ooka") and [Iori Muga](/wiki/index.php?title=Iori_Muga&action=edit&redlink=1 "Iori Muga (page does not exist)") also talk about a student "who is as strong as a demon/oni" during this case, revealed to be no less than [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") himself - in human form, of course. [Ran Mouri](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri") runs into him, hearing about him already having won two national tournaments at such a young age (winning his third in the [epilogue](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_24#Are_You_Coming.3F "Yaiba Volume 24") of *Yaiba*). Onimaru also refers to Okita as "someone [he] wants to cross swords with" as a reason why he will return to the competition, which implies that some version of the [Nobunaga Oda Tournament](/wiki/index.php?title=Nobunaga_Oda_Tournament&action=edit&redlink=1 "Nobunaga Oda Tournament (page does not exist)") happened in the past of Conan's world, too (if the circumstances of knowing each other weren't wholly different in this continuity).
Soshi Okita and Takeshi Onimaru also feature in the keyholes of [Volume 93](/wiki/Volume_93 "Volume 93") and (/wiki/Volume_94 "Volume 94") respectively.
### Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: (/wiki/Volume_94#Crimson_School_Trip_Case "Volume 94")-(/wiki/Volume_95#Crimson_School_Trip_Case "Volume 95"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Crossovers_in_the_manga_with_Yaiba&action=edit&section=38 "Edit section: Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: 1000-1005)")]
Ran and Okita talk about the photo, telling her about Moroha and her brother Yaiba.
[Soshi Okita](/wiki/Soshi_Okita "Soshi Okita") reappears again in [Kyoto](/wiki/Kyoto "Kyoto") during this case, because that's where he lives - besides being a classmate of [Momiji Ooka](/wiki/Momiji_Ooka "Momiji Ooka"). [Ran Mouri](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri") uses the opportunity to return his Omamori to him, but explains that [her father](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") accidentally took a look in it because he thought it's his daughter's, finding a photo of [Moroha Kurogane](/wiki/Moroha_Kurogane "Moroha Kurogane") inside of it, who is revealed to be Okita's love interest. He discloses to Ran that he has to beat his "great/worthy rival", her brother [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane"), first before he can tell her about his true feelings, but asks of Ran not to tell anything to "oppai" ("big breasts", a rather unusual moniker for Momiji) - maybe because both are daughters of absurdly rich families. This also confirms that there is an alternate version of Yaiba somewhere out there in Conan's world.
Another interesting thing is the fact that, after *Yaiba* was finished, fans in [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan") loved shipping Moroha and Okita, creating lots of fan art about them, despite there being pretty much no real interaction between each other in their own manga. This proves [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") did not only know about this, but made this pairing [canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon") - at least for *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")*.

This kid has a good taste in demons.
Besides a lot of other toys, two of the puppets [Maria Higashio](/wiki/Maria_Higashio "Maria Higashio") has next to the television in her grandparent's house in are [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") and [Namako-Otoko](/wiki/Namako-Otoko "Namako-Otoko"), the first being another one of the "Hakki" ([Eight Demons](/wiki/index.php?title=Eight_Demons&action=edit&redlink=1 "Eight Demons (page does not exist)")) who originally served [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") and joined [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane")'s group later on. Apropos television: The model seen is by [ONY](/wiki/ONY "ONY").
"Look at his smug grin! He has to be Kudo."
[Soshi Okita](/wiki/Soshi_Okita "Soshi Okita") is also mentioned and seen on [Heiji Hattori](/wiki/Heiji_Hattori "Heiji Hattori")'s smartphone again during this chapter, used as a distraction based on his similarity to [Shinichi Kudo](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo"), to keep the latter safe from suspicion.
### Black Bunny's Club Case (Manga: [1009-1012](/wiki/Volume_95#Black_Bunny.27s_Club_Case "Volume 95"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Crossovers_in_the_manga_with_Yaiba&action=edit&section=40 "Edit section: Black Bunny's Club Case (Manga: 1009-1012)")]
"As soon as I have my rabbit army back you'll be done for."
The suspect [Sana Murakami](/wiki/index.php?title=Sana_Murakami&action=edit&redlink=1 "Sana Murakami (page does not exist)") seems to be an allusion to Empress [Kaguya](/wiki/Kaguya "Kaguya") from *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*. Besides their general visual similarities, she works as a Bunnygirl, reminding one of Kaguya's trademark costume, and her surname is a reference to the  [crater of the same name](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murakami_(crater) "wikipedia:Murakami (crater)") on the Moon, similar to the Moon crater Kaguya's base was situated in. These things are pretty much confirmed with [Gosho's commentary](/wiki/Sherry%27s_soliloquy#2018 "Sherry's soliloquy") through *Sherry's Soliloquy*, saying:
かぐや様を思い出しちゃうわね・・・
*She’s reminiscent of Kaguya-sama, isn’t she?*

The *Yaiba* characters seem to randomly slide in and out of their fictional status by now.
The [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") play a platformer videogame featuring [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") while they are at Professor [Hiroshi Agasa](/wiki/Hiroshi_Agasa "Hiroshi Agasa")'s [house](/wiki/index.php?title=Hiroshi_Agasa%27s_residence&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hiroshi Agasa's residence (page does not exist)"). Their running pose also is a little bit reminiscent of the walking pose they have on the cover of [Yaiba Volume 1](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_1 "Yaiba Volume 1"). If you look *very closely* at the second panel the game can be seen in, you can spot two character portraits on the right side of the monitor, seemingly depicting the faces of [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") and [Namako-Otoko](/wiki/Namako-Otoko "Namako-Otoko"), right above [Genta Kojima](/wiki/Genta_Kojima "Genta Kojima")'s head. Apropos Namako: he also appears as [Ran Mouri](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri")'s mobile phone strap again.
