## Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=The_Ring_and_the_Hot_Spring&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Trivia")]
Shonen Sunday #1/2026.
* The cover of [Shonen Sunday](/wiki/Shonen_Sunday "Shonen Sunday") #1/2026 features Chihaya Hagiwara, Kogoro, Ran and Conan. Chihaya poses with a partial heart (♡) while Ran appears eager and blushing. Conan looks curious, contrasting with Kogoro's confused expression. This is the first of two covers to promote the current case, along with the cover of Shonen Sunday #2-3/2026.
* The ring that Shinobu wins for Chihaya is a reference to the mirrored lotus ring from the manga and anime series [Frieren: Beyond Journey's End](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieren "wikipedia:Frieren"), which is rewarded to the main protagonist, [Frieren](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieren_(character) "wikipedia:Frieren (character)") by [Himmel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Frieren_characters#The_Hero_Party "wikipedia:List of Frieren characters").[](#cite_note-4)
* Kenji and Jinpei mention Golgo 13, a professional hitman and the main protagonist of manga and anime series of the [same name](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgo_13 "wikipedia:Golgo 13").
