The beloved mystery series is streaming on Amazon Prime Video both domestically and internationally with English subtitles as it airs weekly in Japan. This was confirmed via the release of promotional material in recent months.

The series is also streaming an English dub for the series, as well as several other alternate language dubs, but these are delayed from each episode's initial release.

The Dinner Table Detective episode 6 recap

The Dinner Table Detective episode 6 began with Reiko returning home, where Kageyama showed her a stream of Kurumi’s where her fight with Kobayashi was audible. Info on the case was then leaked to the public, confirming him as one of her fans. A flashback then showed the two meeting in the waiting room of their mutual doctor. They learned that she hadn’t been there for a week, and would often leave her delivered food out all night from a neighbor.

The building custodian then revealed that she had asked him for a security camera in the hallway. The two then met Kurumi, who didn’t have an alibi for the night of Kobayashi’s murder. Her origins of streaming were then revealed, and shown to be predicated on her self-esteem. Meanwhile, Kageyama pointed out the discrepancy of Kurumi eating spicy curry while her throat healed. As this all was explained, it was revealed that Kurumi’s stalker was currently outside her apartment.

Kageyama then plainly said the stalker’s intent was to get Kurumi to hurt herself. Reiko and Kazamatsuri then set a trap, catching the stalker red-handed. They were Kazuhisa Okada, who met Kurumi by chance and fell in love at first sight. He faked being a deliveryman to stalk her, had no idea she was a VTuber, and thought she was dating Kobayashi, thus killing him. The episode ended with Kurumi’s name cleared as she returned to streaming and held a concert.

What to expect from The Dinner Table Detective episode 7 (speculative)

With the latest mystery solved thanks to Kageyama’s help again, The Dinner Table Detective episode 7 should see Reiko and Kazamatsuri get roped into another murder case. Given that Kageyama has still yet to be officially introduced to Kazamatsuri or given credit, it seems unlikely this will occur at any point in the series.

While it’s difficult to predict what the upcoming case will be, it seems likely that Reiko’s identity will be threatened by whatever’s next. This plot point has yet to be stressed since the series premiere and the first mystery. Combined with the series’ apparent lack of intent to introduce Kazamatsuri and Kageyama formally, this would serve to drum up some conflict amongst the central trio.
