Nowadays, parody entertainment tends to get a bad reputation due to the excessive amount of atrocious spoof movies released, particularly out of Hollywood. Features that are painfully unfunny, merely cashing in on the success of what is popular then and simultaneously coming off as insulting, have almost become a cursed tradition in modern filmmaking.

When Shinichi comes to his senses, however, the two of them seem anything but shocked by the events; instead, they are interested in their aggressors and...
