The movie follows the story of Kaito Kid who plans to steal two wakizashi sword blades with ties to Shinsengumi deputy commander Toshizo Hijikata that are stored in a zaibatsu warehouse in Hakodate, Hokkaido. The police, especially Inspector Nakamori, who is pursuing Kid, is suspicious of Kid's unusual actions. Kid, who is usually always after big gems, is now after swords.

At the same time, a kendo tournament is being held in Hakodate, in which Heiji Hattori and Soji Okita are participating. Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri, and Kazuha Toyama come to support Heiji. While at the kendo tournament venue, Kazuha meets Hijiri Fukushiro, a student who is doing his best performance. Besides the tournament, Heiji searches for beautiful places around Hakodate in order to successfully express his feelings to Kazuha while Ran who remembers about Shinichi's confession in London decides to propose Mount Hakodate to Heiji.

Meanwhile, Momiji Ooka, Kazuha's love rival who has feelings for Heiji, also visits Hokkaido by helicopter to support Heiji who is participating in the tournament. Realizing that Heiji is planning to reveal his feelings to Kazuha, he plans to thwart him.

On the day of the crime notification, Heiji catches Kid in disguise and attempts to corner Kid who escapes to the roof. Heiji recovered one of Kid's stolen swords and fought with it against Kid. He managed to corner Kid with his sword skills and cut Kid's hat, but was then surprised by Kid's face which looked like Shinichi Kudo. Kid took advantage of the moment to escape with one of his swords. While Heiji handed over the other sword he managed to save to the police.

Conan, Heiji, and friends' next journey becomes full of mystery when the body of a man who was killed with a cross-shaped wound on his chest is found. The incident makes Conan and Heiji wonder if Kaito Kid has a hand in this case.
