Anime

On August 3, 2021, it was announced that the manga will receive an anime television series adaptation.[16][17] It premiered on December 4, 2021 on ytv and NTV. The anime airs on an irregular broadcast schedule, and is treated as part of the main Case Closed series, with Wild Police Story episodes airing in place of any regular canon or filler.[18][1] Because of this, Crunchyroll licenses the series, as they have continually licensed Case Closed since 2014.[19] The first episode uses the Case Closed anime's regular opening theme as of December 2021: YURA YURA, performed by WANDS.[20] The second and third episodes use the Case Closed anime's regular opening theme as of March 2022: SLEEPLESS, performed by B'z.[21] A new ending theme for Case Closed debuted with Wild Police Story's first episode: SWEET MOONLIGHT, performed by BREAKERZ,[22] which is also used in the second episode. The third episode uses the Case Closed anime's regular ending theme as of May 2022: Karappo no Kokoro (空っぽの心?, lit. "Empty Heart"), performed by SARD UNDERGROUND.

1 1029 "Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story CASE. Matsuda Jinpei" Nobuharu Kamanaka December 4, 2021 (2021-12-04)[23]
It's nighttime at the Metropolitan Police Academy. As the cherry blossoms are falling, the sound of Rei Furuya and Jinpei Matsuda punching each other echoes through the grounds. Matsuda doesn't like Furuya, who "really wants to become a police officer" despite being in the police academy. The two continued to fight without taking a step back. At 2 a.m., Hiromitsu Morofushi wakes up from a nightmare and he hears a knock on his door. He woke up to a knock at the door, and there was Furuya, covered in wounds. Morofushi, who had been watching him, asked, "Do you think you can get along with this person?", Morobushi asked. At the morning assembly, next to the wounded Furuya and Matsuda were their classmates Morofushi, Kenji Hagiwara, and Wataru Date. Onizuka Hatsuzo, the instructor at the Onizuka Training Center, asks the reason for their wounds, but Date tactfully tells a lie. Matsuda, who says he hates the police but is able to answer questions about what it means to be a police officer, is questioned by Hatsuzo, and Furuya begins to investigate his past.
2 1038 "Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story CASE. Date Wataru" Yasuichirō Yamamoto March 12, 2022 (2022-03-12)[24]
Furuya and Date fought in an arresting technique class. Date won and asked the defeated Furuya, "Why didn't you exploit your own weakness?" He said, "If you are not stronger than anyone else, you will not be able to carry out justice. Later that night, Furuya was alone in bed thinking about Date's words. Morobushi comes to Furuya's room and tells him that he is going out. Morofushi comes to Furuya's room and asks, "Is there anything you want me to buy for you? But after a while, he remembered that he was out of toothpaste. He leaves the room to ask for it, but Morobushi, Hagiwara, and Matsuda are already gone, so he decides to go to the convenience store by himself. When Furuya went outside, he found Date there and started talking about past events with his father.
3 1042 "Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story CASE. Kenji Hagiwara" Nobuharu Kamanaka May 7, 2022 (2022-05-07)[25]

Furuya, Date, Matsuda, and Morobushi are gathered at a party. Date has a girlfriend, but Hagiwara offers to pay for her drinks, so she joins the party as a headcount. Then Hagiwara arrives late, saying that he was late because he was helping his grandmother on the way to the party. The second party is to go to a karaoke bar, but by then Hagiwara is on his own. The next day, while the five of them are cleaning up, an "RX-7FD3S" enters the police academy. Emerging from the car was instructor Onizuka. Hagiwara, who was extremely interested in the car, made an enthusiastic speech that overwhelmed the Onizuka instructor. However, this is not Onizuka's car, but the beloved car of a senior detective who died in the line of duty. The senior detective's daughter is aspiring to become a detective and is keeping it with her until then. During the heavy equipment training that followed, the topic of conversation turned to Hagiwara's condition earlier. Hagiwara's family had a car repair shop, so he was apparently familiar with cars. Their childhood friend, Matsuda, had also been in the Hagiwara family factory, and they were good at tinkering with machinery. Hagiwara said, "I really wanted to take over the factory, but as soon as the business was going well and they added more stores, the economy took a turn for the worse and the factory went under. In contrast, the police never go bankrupt," he says, which is why he decided to become a police officer.

After the heavy equipment training, a man approached Hagiwara and Matsuda. The man saw how good they were at their job and said, "I want to scout you for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit. Matsuda immediately replies that he is interested, but Hagiwara refuses, saying that he needs to think about it once. Being in the same department as his friend Matsuda and being able to tinker with the machines he likes--this is appealing to Hagiwara, but there seems to be some reason for his reluctance.
