Thank you so much to Gosho Aoyama-sensei from Detective Conan!

The attached artwork is a beautiful illustration of Frieren drawn by Gosho Aoyama (the creator of Detective Conan / Case Closed). It shows Frieren in her classic design — long white hair, pointed elf ears, green eyes, wearing her signature white-and-blue mage outfit — but rendered in Aoyama's distinctive style. She's depicted with a cool, slightly intense/wild expression (more sharp and confident than her usual calm demeanor), and there's a small chibi-style Conan figure (with his iconic glasses and red bowtie) added as a signature/fun detail in the corner.This is a continuation of previous crossover-style fan-favorite illustrations from Aoyama (often nicknamed "Aoyama's Frieren" or "Gosho no Frieren" among fans). Earlier ones also got massive attention, and this new piece timed perfectly with Season 2's premiere.Engagement stats (as visible shortly after posting):Likes: ~181,900

Fan reactions have been extremely positive, calling it "god-tier", "peak", "wild and charismatic Frieren", and joking about her appearance (childlike on the outside, 1000+ years old inside). Many fans are imagining her in the Conan universe, with comments like:"She looks like a kid but is a millennium-old grandma"

"A bit more wild/feral Frieren "

"If she appeared in Conan, she'd definitely be called 'Ren-nee-chan' lol"


It's clearly another huge hit crossover moment between the two series, boosting excitement for the new season!
