I'll be storytiming the manga, one complete case per day. Most cases are around 3-6 chapters long. Feel free to drop in at any time, since it's mostly episodic.Case 23: Kogoro's Class Reunion MurderPrevious case:>>282065474
File 84: Richard's ReunionThere could be some intermittency issues for the next few minutes.
File 85: An Unexpected Hint
File 86: Standing Benkei
>>282092697A good one!!
>>282092817and this is the reason because he's still a kid.
>>282092697This is a really good one. Rare good showing for Kogoro
>>282092697This is another case I remember from finding some old copies laying around before getting into the series.
>>282092778Hubba hubba, good start!
>>282092817Richard the master detective knows
>>282092817The enthu/ss/iast's dream right there. Back when girls loved you just like that.
>>282093056catlady...
Done. Competent Kogoro is something else, I tell you.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>282092817GAWDDAWMN
>>282093078Ooof, don't joke about that...
>>282093610
>>282093078>loli RanCute!!!
>>282093036Young Kogoro looks worse than current Kogoro
>>282093623
>>282093078CUTE LOLI RAN
>>282093102Shit, are the ping pong balls gonna explode or something?
>>282093640
>>282092831>the jobber thumb-posethis guy is going to be the murder victim, isn't he
>>282093858Thanks OP
>>282093253Tragic, smacked her head against the wall like that.
>>282093116Hmm... nice foreshadowing
>>282093146Nice mountains. I'd go to that inn.
>>282093351Kogoro! Keep your foot fetishism to yourself!
>>282093640>>282093653This scene is awesome, letting Kogoro have the spotlight. Practically never happens. In fact, it's more often the anime original cases will do this more often
>>282093376Dead booba!
>>282093808Yumi, legitimately what the fuck?
>>282093490Oh shit, it was Ran! What a twist!
>>282093558lock in king
>>282093558I do like that Kogoro isn't useless, he just doesn't have the edge that Shinichi does, but he's far from incompetent.
>>282093578>odd statementShit, I already missed a vital clue! Gonna skim back and see if I notice something.
>>282093526>not even 100 chapters in and paranormal activities already get introducedthis series is getting desperate
>>282093826awesome
>>282093858Based Kogoro.
>>282093542Big hint right here
>>282093808What was her problem?
>>282093558I fucking love Kogoro
>>282094222Yeah, as usual I don't condone murder etc but man, what a bitch!
>>282093592I love when these cases are connected to something cultural
My favorite game when reading the start of a case is guessing whose going to get murdered
>>282093732>her body was in her own room, what sort of exercise are you saying I made yumi do there?along with the no-underwear-clue, my mind went into a slightly different direction
>>282093640>>282093653Shinichi can be considerate after all...
>>282093688It seems easy to me because I know the trick but realistically it's quite hard to figure out
>>282094350Kogoro's problem is, very obviously, his vices. His inability to focus, his perversions, his worldly desires in general. All of them result in him not getting a handle on most cases, generally making an ass of himself and driving his wife away despite how much they clearly want to be together. When he has an actual reason or motivation, he can get his shit together.It's just most time he doesn't.
>>282093776or because he saw the massive, gaping hole in her head?
So, I used to hate them with a passion, but as I've gotten older, I've actually grown to appreciate cases with the Detective Boys in them because they are more often than not a departure from the usual setup of KOing Kogoro. Also they got less annoying with time or maybe I just got used to them.In fact, any case that isn't "Conan with Ran and Kogoro run into 1 dead body with 3 suspects" is usually better than others. Like the Columbo style ones where we know the murderer or if there's 4+ suspectsToday's case was a good example of this
>>282093759Clean reasoning from Kogoro
>>282093808women
>>282094818People survive shots in the head a few times
>>282093826>>282093843>>282093858unfathomably based
>>282093826>>282093843Kogoro is just too cool
Anime was at ED 2 at this episode.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpzitQvIxC4 I was very sad to see STEP BY STEP go as I always listened to it at the end of the show
>>282093808he did nothing wrong
>>282093858Looks like I have to kneel.
>>282094875Yeah, even if it's too far gone you tend to hope for the best and get first aid etc.
>>282093078Ran's surprisingly small for being 12 years old in that photo. She looks more like she's conan's age
>>282094844I think the detective boys aren't nearly as annoying as in the anime at least
>>282094958Oh dang you're right! Didn't think about her mentioning specifically 5 years. Have there been any 12 year olds in the series yet to compare what their height would be?
>>282093776I really dislike it when proof comes down to the murderer slipping up after the murder is over and done with, that's just lazy writing. Much prefer it when there is a logical flaw in the actual murder-plan, or when something unforeseeable happens during the execution that the murderer couldn't account for.
>>282095256Same, though even something unforeseen can feel "cheap" depending. Best is when they do it seemingly perfectly but didn't realize something fundamental.
>>282093558Kogoro(Richard) my man
>>282093417Okay, two cops missed this entirely, sure.
>>282093592I knew it was fucking Benkei that did it!
>>282093826My hero.Kogoro cases are the best.
>>282095256I think both ways are fine.This case already has a "trick" to it though, so I kinda agree that it makes it a bit weaker in that regard.
>>282092831Kogoro is 38 and already has a past career in the police, a marital separation and a high school age daughter.Fuck, is this guy speedrunning life or what.
>>282093703One this Aoyama does really well is the "sentence panels" like this page's bottom one. It's so simple and yet so effective. In another series, it would be a double spread.
>>282093858Will we ever get the truth of Kogoro's tournament performances? Ran "guesses", but it's not like she was there.
My HERO
>>282093253I miss when these murders were brutal.
>>282094844>as I've gotten older, I've actually grown to appreciate cases with the Detective BoysThe detective boys cases have one thing the other setups miss: the dynamics aren't set in stone.I mean, in Meitantei Conan roles and characters dynamics are very clear and not deviate because Gosho has very few panels to develop the characters.1 Agase 2 Kogoro 3 Ran&Sonoko's dynamics are set in stone. Assuming the characters can evolve, they evolve on their own and not in relation to Conan. Same for the police officers.The kids? The kids ARE evolving with Conan, although we don't see it much. We already saw it in the previous case. And that's without considering Haibara, the series' most evolving asset (which isn't much given the series' goals, but still).Point is: Detective Boys feature-Characters who aren't already "complete"-Conan can't drug them, so he has to interact with them more, thus more originality as you point out.-Haibara and her relationship with Conan, which evolves through the series-The interpersonal tidbits between the kids/blog
>>282093858I loved this episode in the animeBasically a movie
>>282083070>YOU WANT ME TO DIE?!?!No, of course not anon. But before you drink, please touch this cup this way...
>>282092798i love that smug look on Ran
>>282093056Meanwhile on Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei...
>>282093376Goddamn...Richard could have save her and now another great booba gone to waste
>>282093276you could say this was also "An unexpected hit"
>>282098261Even has the yukatas
>>282092697>Skateboard on the cover when Conan uses that thing canonically less than like 10 times or something
>>282100404>that skirtdamn, love the stuff that makes you take a second look and realize just how scandalous the outfit really is
>>282092798Can't be defeated if you never fought in the first place.
>>282092831>None of them is known as a THROOWERGood for them. That's for pedo losers.
>>282093558Kids had their fun. Now it's time for the REAL pros to step up.
>>282093858Thx mate.
>>282093056christmas cake...
>didn't even go to practice>still the best in judo>didn't even use a gun that much>still the best shooter when he was in the force>didn't even care about doing detective work>still can be sharp if he wanted toDare I say, based?
>>282093732>>282093745>>282093808Yes....playing ping pong...that's what they were doing>>282093826based
>>282093808Peak woman moment
>>282092831>champion college athlete becomes high school p.e. teacherKinda sad
>>282093732Does that mean Joe Yabuki is dead? I heard a doctor say he must be alive because a dead body couldn't sit up straight. But if heavy exercise could stiffen the proteins, it's plausible for Joe to sit up dead.
>>282092697Jimmy bump
>>282095142The only one I can remember is flashback of Sera when she was 13.
>>282094170The anime filler loves kogoroTheres like probably +100 filler stories where is just Kogoro,Conan,Megure and Chiba and/or Takagi(No Ran weirdly enought)
>>282105817I imagine it's because a simple case with basic detective/police combo is least likely to clash with manga canon.
>>282105873The anime does have a set of character that they usually never use for filler stories Character that are tied with the ongoing storylines (Sera,any BO related character)Or just character introduced very late into the show (Yumi,Miike)Or anything relating to Heiji there are exceptions, when they do an episode that ties in with the current movie they used them or sometimes they just appear in an episode because
>>282092798>ywn mixed bathe with Ran
>>282093131Did Jun kill Yumi so he wouldn't have to marry her?
>>282093338>Please say something.Woman, I swear to God....
>>282093558I really hope Kogoro ends up actually solving this case and doesn't get put to sleep.If the formula ever deserves to be broken, it's here.
>>282093578Oh, I think I see.Kazushi killed her in the bath and put his robe on her so she wouldn't be naked in her room. He was sweaty from moving her body, and the robe is too big because it's hers.I just don't know why Jun saw her "ghost".
>>282093592>BenkeiAll dailies are connected.
>>282093732>>282093745>>282093808Okay, so they were definitely having sex and Kogoro just gave a G-rated explanation because there was a child in the room, right?
>>282093056>I just want to dieWell you're hanging around the right crowd lady. I give it a couple of more pages before someone is dead.>>282093253Yup
>>282100328well it's an iconic gadget thanks to the moviesand the OP
>>282093931those stache really adds character
>>282105459I honestly hate how angular the characters in modern conan
>>282107296Especially considering how round and cute they're originally
>>282101218Sandro...
>>282105459Yeah that feels a little more appropriate, even given the stylization.
>>282092817lmao, gosho even drew him in there. Page 1, panel 4, behind a steam cloud.
>>282096399This is really just another chapter in the "Japan has no idea how old people are supposed to be" book. Kogoro should be in his 40s.
>>282093102Calling it now. It wasn't actually her in that photo, it was her twin sister. You can tell because she's holding the racket with the wrong hand.This time I've got it for sure!
>>282106672Which daily is that from?
>>282093792>>282093808>have a long-term girlfriend for 18 fucking years >no no, common law isn't enough, I must have an actual marriage with a stranger>why is my common law wife upset by this????What is wrong with this guy? And then he kills her.
>>282108517His ancestors would haunt him from the grave if he didn't get married and continued the line in prim and proper way.Honestly, he should have dumped her long time ago, after 10 years max it would have been crystal clear that he was just a fuck on the side.
>>282108517Why did she refuse? She was manipulating him
What would /a/ have done in baldie's case? Murder? Just violence? No way this bitch brought all the pictures.
>>282092767File 4 but case 23?
>>282092697has he caught the syndicate that drugged him?
>>282108649Maybe in 10 years, if we are lucky.
>>282092831What's Richard and Rachel the Americans doing with all these Japaneses?
>>282108632Every volume has its own chapters numbered from 1 to 10
>>282094205would a dead booba be stiff or would it still be squishy? afterall it's just a sack of fat, not muscle
>>282108277Kogoro and Eri marries quite young and they had Ran when they were 20-21 years old.
>>282108326Kinda weird to think how late Sato appears and how little the other ones appear too.
>>282109181
>>282107978round faces also kinda help hiding the rhino noses to be less garishcases in point>>282105459>>282093673
>>282112366Cute...
>>282108363Getter Robo Saga has a fat bastard with the hearto of a samurai named Benkei
