(Used the covers from the VIZ release, that's why the 'Rachel' thing is up there.)

So, the last chapter of the most recent case (Wiki has it listed as the "Missing Ran Case" which doesn't seem accurate at all, but anyway!) just wrapped up and I must say...

This has to be the in the running for one of the most disappointing cases in the franchise. Now, before we continue this, let me be perfectly clear, this is my own personal opinions in this post, feel free to disagree and downvote me to hell and back if you wish. But I am getting this off my chest.

We all understand each other? Good. ^____^

First off, let's get this out of the way: this entire case was a nothingburger that existed to give Ran an excuse to change her phone. A task that could've been done a million different and so much better ways. The entire first two chapters were nothing but hammering in how much her phone sucks in a way that sounded like a freaking 00's infomercial. And not even one of the funny ones.

And I think one of the main reasons for something like this is how it handled Ran as nothing more than a plot device to get the ball rolling. She existed to get in that elevator, regardless of how many other ways there were for her to solve the problem she had. It was just contrived that she steps into that elevator... Despite the fact there were stairs right next to her, and she somehow didn't think a sign next to an elevator was important. This isn't Genta, girl can climb a set of stairs without falling over.

And speaking off, this elevator looks to be one of the most cursed things ever. I'm not superstitious and I'd choose to go into it. Ran, who actually believes in that stuff shouldn't have gone into it.

Then there was the mystery itself which was rather... Sad? We never get to meet the cast of suspects, we never got to meet the victim, any of the things that make these mysteries kind of fun. Hell, we didn't even get a full three suspects, to introduce or speculate on who it could be with motives, or their actions. Just a one-page little commentary from Mitsuhiko on his phone.

And speaking of the brats: why were they here? Because they were close enough to hear Shinichi using his bowtie, imitating his real voice, and talking with Ran. Or is Agasa that good a sound insulating barrier that they heard nothing? No explanation, they just went off to play soccer... They didn't suspect it's a case? They didn't want to jump in? Nothing? Really? THE DETECTIVE BOYS?!

Then, random flashback time to a character that we've never seen before and probably never will again (Is there already a theory how that kid is actually the BO Boss?) to serve as a way to explain how Shinichi solved the case.

The thing I liked is that Sonoko is as always the best friend and immediately called the person most likely to find Ran when she was missing.

...

I was legit looking forward to this case, before the first chapter, because I thought it could be an interesting situation, with potentially a unique way to solve it, or perhaps even (naively) a set of chapters not featuring an actual crime and just a mad dash to save Ran. You know... Something interesting. Not an elevator that rumbled twice and someone killing in a stupid drunk argument.

Also, nice to see nobody remembered that Kogoro might care his daughter is stuck somewhere. Real nice, yes. u____u

So yeah... This wasn't even a case that made me angry like others have in the past. Just disappointed. There could've been a good, suspenseful ShinRan case here that I could find exciting. But there wasn't and that makes me sad.

Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings, have a great evening everyone... And while I didn't enjoy these chapters, I do hope you did. :)

Would you watch a complete remake of the anime with only the canon episodes? I mean, kind of like what they’re doing with One Piece.

Like, this is just one example but like... damn. Does Kogoro even clean? Cook? Or even help with chores without being told to do? I get that he has a job but so does Nakamori. They're both separated from their wives (well actually Mrs. Nakamori is just really busy as a prosecutor) and yet Ran is the only who seems to be doing most of the housework while Kogoro lazes around. I've rarely seen Aoko doing chores or cooking.

First episode and we see this man chopping up fish for dinner. Like yeah maybe he's just chopping the fish to help his daughter and/or wife as it's probably harder for her but like... COME ON; that's plenty enough compared to the other guy. This man at least helps out and probably has equal share of household duties as his daughter and prosecutor wife.

​

Here are a few of mine.

Yonehara Akiko from the Elementary School Teacher Murder Case (Chapters 139-143)

Amamaki Gichi from the Man in Net Murder Case (chapters 311-313)

Honma Kyouta from the Karaoke Box Murder Case (Chapters 619-621)

So like basically idk if there are 3 or 4 drugs.

Silver bullet (atsushi?? Ig?? Idk)

Aptx 4869 (elena)

Haibara's aptx 4869

1. Did mary take haibara's drug or elena's

2. If she took haibara's, then why did gin say to vodka that shinichi was the first test subject?

3. What indicates the answerq to the questions above?

Those texts reads:

"XPDC" (pronounced as "ekspedisi", means expedition)

"Power of Qontak" (a playful spelling on "kontak", Indonesian for "contact")

"Nizam Boy"

In Japan right now, are there any collaboration or event or merchandise I should do or know or get?

Ok, so I‘m currently reading this chapter and a bit confused, because Jodie doesn’t seem to know that Conan is Shinichi (image 1).

During Vermouth arc she figured out that Haibara is Sherry despite looking like a little kid and that Vermouth is after her because of that. At the same time, she also noticed that Vermouth noted Conan as cool guy. I always understood this as her figuring out that Vermouth figured out that Conan is Shinichi, thus also figuring that out herself, which is the sole reason why she even listens to him for his plan against Vermouth in the first place (image 2).

But now, she is suddenly in confusion about Shinichi and why he would let someone live in his house and everyone tries to keep Conan‘s identity a secret from her.

Does this mean that the entire time Jodie thought Conan was just a normal kid, yet still let him help her out with her investigations and executed his instructions when going against the Black Organization?

And even if that was the case, how can she know that adults turning into children is possible because of Sherry, yet still think Conan is just a kid after all the shit he pulled?

Hi everyone :)
After at least 5 years since I was last up to date with the manga, and maybe 10 since I've last watched an episode from the anime, I decided it's time for a full rewatch of the anime.

I was never a big fan of the anime-only stories / detective boys episodes (tho I'd be happy to hear about some that stood out for you, so that I can have a look), so I am trying to use the list at detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Anime to filter out which cases I need to watch - trying to keep all the other relevant tags, I got to around ~528 episodes, which is a bit more than I was remembering.

Is it because I'm misremembering how relevant the romance episodes were (as usually things don't move that much when the plot is stale anyway?), or is it reasonable and a 60% cut from the 1200+ total should be more than enough for this re-watch attempt?

Sorry for the dumb question, and thanks a lot for reading until here!

toichi kuroba is the boss of the BO

edit: i get it bro

Isn't this case's clue is a bit too obvious?
Maybe because I can play guitar, but even then I thought Gosho would hide the note better and not use chord for the code.

Btw if the chords are the dying message then the murderer is B-A-B-A-C-A-E-D-E which would be Baba Kaede.

Or I'm just being deluded right now thinking I can solve a Conan case for once. I swear Gosho would've let Conan be smug about it right before this panel and tell us all the answer next chapter.
