>>283055152love this guy.
>>283055489next case, conan encounters a locked room murder in a museum of fishing line
>>283056025that sakuraba guy is a saint. i would sue the FUCK out of this nigger monkey
>>283055539There's no fucking way someone trained the cat to lock the door from the inside and put the keys in the butler's pocket. Right?
>>283055679Calling it now.Servant boy killed the butler with fishing line through the hole in the window.He was jealous because the butler hooked the girl (who he's in love with) up with the asshole rich boy.He got into the fight on purpose to break the glass with the hole.
>>283055875>Miss Kaede and Ms. Yurie couldn't do it because they're women!Jesus, Harley. Laying it on a little thick there.
>>283055920
>>283055983>locked room murder>murderer in the roomThat seems like it could have gone wrong very easily.Good thing there wasn't some kind of levelheaded detective on the scene who'd immediately lock down the premises and ensure that the only exit never leaves his line of sight.
>>283055401Cell phones officially in the picture now
>>283059865Successfully baited by the fishing line, huh?
>>283056016Deserved then. Dumb, clueless wingman not knowing his place.
>>283055694She's just insecure because she's not sure how Heiji sees her. It's different from Ran and Shinichi, who are already a couple in all but name.
>>283055287Kudo Shinigami strike again, more lethal than death note
First grade student btw
>>283055169>>283055181>>283055191What a shitty attitude. So glad she was called out by Ran
>>283055370Rather common occurrence when it comes to adaptations, sometimes it's more important to get a good performer, than to match the looks.I guess the most obvious example of this would be Rowan Atkinson as Maigret. In the books Maigret is described as tall and fat, basically built like a bear, and Atkinson is really thin.
>>283060452I'm no better than a fish.
>>283059793He just did it on its own, because cats are evil
>>283055278Nice shota thighs in the second panel.
>>283055267>my playboy brotherCalling it: The bride will kill the groom for being a philanderer.
In the recent Mori Eri chapter, Gosho took a jab at artists who still refuse to switch to digital. To be fair modern drawing tools have features that are borderline cheating, before you even bring up AI
>>283065204Gosho is probably looking at it solely from perspective of mangaka, where meeting the deadline is so important no one really cares if you take a few shortcuts.
Soulless
>>283065988I miss babyface conan...
>>283066055I miss when Conan was actually treated as a kid, and not some tiny person that is on equal footing with the secret agents.
Why did someone jump the storytime ahead 1000 chapters?
>>283066165To leave a dying message with a kanji pun.
>>283055142>A Perfect Day for TokyoNo crime was committed that day
has he ever not solved a case? i know kaito got away a couple of times or something like that, probably why he's so popular
>>283055216>pray for your thighs to get thinnerit was a different time back then
>>283066530A better time
>>283066462In kidnapping case, he failed to realize "Conan's mom" and the masked guy are his own parents, and honestly thought he was going to be killed by a criminal.
>>283065988god the new knife chin style is so ugly. i will never forgive the fujoshits
>>283067576Gosho is a fujo?
>>283066638>>283066462He got humiliated by his chad father again in the case with the brazilian uncle, where Conan failed to realize the old man was actually the bodyguard.
>>283055216>Ran, you took off that shirt your mother gave youhere kogoro goes again, being super observant when it's in regards to his wife. He can't fool me
>>283055237if this wasn't Conan my immediate assumption would be that she already is unwanted pregnant, and she plans to put on a brave face later and be all "surprise, we're expecting"
>>283055287>that subtle glarelet me guess, the butler has a thing for the daughter? I bet the son dies and we're going to learn about how he cheated on his fiance and that's why he got killed by the butler
>>283055338ok, wasn't expecting that guy to be the victim
>>283067874no, but the fact that a good chunk of his audience are fujos (and that "sharp chin" is so well known as a fujo aesthetic to the point of becoming a meme) undoubtedly contributed to the new artstyle
>>283069932I think you are looking too deeply into your own theories. If Gosho and his editor want to pander to fujos, that would be done through male characters having a rivalry that can be interpreted as having hots for each other.Sharp chin is simply easier to draw in hurry, than a round one is.
>>283055548>>283055556>and it's a special mystery this time too>it's a locked room murderso what's so special about it
>>283055568>Officers, go over the house and grounds with a fine-tooth comb!! The weapon must be somewhere! I want you to find it at all costs!!
>>283070159>that would be done through male characters having a rivalry that can be interpreted as having hots for each other>he thinks the story isn't full of this
>>283055756>Case Closed!>>283055777>Okay, this feels wrongthings are getting meta
>>283070321I didn't say there aren't rivalries, I'm keeping that subject for some other day, and just stick to saying your idea that pointy chin is for fujos is bollocks.
>>283055998>tricking Mr. Sakuraba into punching youthat's not how I would describe the scene
>>283055383Wait, what's up with this cover? It's just Conan with a picture of a real train behind him. Fucking weird.
>>283071178>>283055383pretty weird: I own the jp original and it's a different train (still a real picture, lmao)
>>283071301
>>283071331It flows better with the spotlight
>>283071301It's really funny how some of the other countries also changed the train.https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Volume_22#Cover_in_other_countries
>>283071490Are they those country's local trains?Surely there's at least one train autist on this board that knows the answer
>>283065988does Ran have her horn?
>>283055299https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWa0dZMHYeE
>>283055245All japanese villas has this entrance like the Umineko mansion. I don't know if that's part of Japanese architecture, but I'm sure there has been at least other five cases where a secluded villa has this exact kind of entrance.
>>283063264>sometimes it's more important to get a good performer, than to match the looks.Sean Connery proves you right: he could sell you he's a russian captain or a japanese samurai despite looking and sounding completely different.
>>283055383>The smartest detective in the world runs from a train parallel to the rails and looking in the opposite direction
>>283055578I was searching on google to see if Conan's way to count with fingers is correct and apparently not only it is right, but Conan has been counting for himself (starting from the thumb onwards) rather than others (starting from index finger)
>>283074345>Shinichi>smartest detective in the worldChoose one.
whos the cutest non-recurring DC boys? (the tranny doctor doesn't count)
>>283071178>>283071301>>283071490>>283071516Isn't that how all the covers work? The one in the OP shows a real photo of a castle and each country uses a different castle (except Hong Kong mixed something up and used a train too lol).https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Volume_20#Cover_in_other_countries
Where the FUCK is OP?
>>283075195>Isn't that how all the covers work?Yeah, it seems like that's the case. But it took me until the train cover to realize that different countries have different pictures for the manga covers.

Why does he look so evil in this shot of the opening?
>>283079463He is ready to rape her
>>283077991>fishingWe know who the culprit is
>>283078207Is Yusaku the biggest chad in the series?
Tomorrow is when The Strongest ENTERS right?
>>283077261This is the last time she is mentioned.
>>283078286How big is Yusaku's cock?
>>283078936It's pretty amazing how Jimmy is an only child for 17+ years when his parents are like that. Yukiko is also still in her 30s too.
>>283077378>AkechiFumiyo is pretty close to Fumiko too
>>283077480Once again, Kogoro is just running at someone that has a gun.Now that should be all 6 shots, but still
>>283077785Maybe it's just having read this case before in a different language, but I recall it not being that obvious that the term used wasn't a piece of equipment.
>>283077299Ran's butts...
>>283078098What was Yusaku cooking with this novel?
>>283078207Another case where Yusaku appears and makes his son look bad.Looks like a trend.
>>283078322>writer of mystery novels>the smartest character in the storySo this is what an author self-insert looks like
So ive been reading conan and i reached vol 79, the vampire case, and i notice a drastic change in art and story qualityThis is vol 79, end of chap 833
And this is vol 79, chap 834, the vampire vaseIt might not be that clear from just 2 images, but if youve read through 79 volumes, i think you will agree that there was a definite change in quality. I am now at vol 81 and the art and stories of old have not returned. It feels almost like somebody else drawing and writing these stories, not Aoyama. It sucks so much now that im thinking of just dropping it.So, did anyone else notice this change in quality or is it just me? And does it get any better? Does it return to how it used to be?
>>283078207>it really is the fishing guyCome on.
>>283083749He's Conans Mycroft.
>>283077378Fumiyo Akechi is the wife of Akechi Kogoro, detective created by Edogawa Ranpo.
>>283084072i think the dude who used to draw the special editions is now in charge of the entire thing
>>283083958>>283084072You can just ask chatgpt. It’s been better since the Rum arcs started
Kaito canonically has 400 IQ and yet Yusaku is still touted as the most big-brained character in-universe
>>283077367>Akechi>as in Kogoro Akechi>as in Richard AkechiImportant, I think?
>>283083444Kogoro knows he's a main character.
>>283077573Oh, I see.Akechi is Shinichi's mom, and the killer is Shinichi's dad. And this whole thing is staged.
>>283087944400 IQ is humanly impossible, current IQ tests are not even designed to measure that high, so when someone claims that number you know they are lying through their teeth. Kaito doesn't seem that much smarter than Shinichi, who still has a lot to learn to reach his dad's level. Toichi Kuroba was probably also a lot smarter.
>>283078236>fishing lineTake a shot.
>>283086866Chatgpts full of shit. I asked it for source ie posts from real people and it came up with 0.
>>283088524>I asked it for source ie posts from real people and it came up with 0.works on my machine. i won't spoonfeed you with the source it gave me thoughbeit (hint: don't use the pleb version of chatgpt that they put out on the main page)
>>283088602Whats the non pleb version? Do i have to payfor it?>. i won't spoonfeed you with the source it gave me thoughbeitwhy would you do this?
>>283077327>on the evening of the day you went campingturns out crimes really do happen all over the place regardless of conan's presence. If Conan hadn't gone to the castle he would have solved this jewelry case instead
>>283088524There's a specific setting for it to search the web and cite sources.I personally only use it as an enhanced search engine
>>283088639>Do i have to payfor it?the paid version is far better, yes. but just logging in should be enough to give you a slightly better functionality >whyis this your first day on 4chan or something
>>283087944Kaito is just a pure skill build, he's not particularly smart desu
>>283088667>no Conan around, robbery happens without casualties>Conan present, two dead guys and his mom was almost a victim tooShinigami Edogawa
>>283077644can you just bring a shotgun with you on a public train in japan?
>>283077391> You're _still_ awake?> It's already 44 am? Pm??I'd be really surprised and/or upset if my teenage daughter and a small kid stayed up until 4 am when we're on a weekend trip.And being asleep at 4pm would only make sense if they're preparing for staying awake during the coming night or something similar.
>>283077520I don't remember this inspector at all. Does he ever come back?
>>283077991Considering how quickly a train moves, and the time that passed from the first shooting to the culprit "jumping out the window" they have to be able to check this based on where in the tunnel the body is lying. A regular train travels at around 130km/h. Let's say 108 in tunnels just to be nice. That's a nice even 30m/s - so even if everything took only half a minute the train would've covered 900m.Of course this assumes that someone knew the exact time everything happened, as well as when the train entered or exited the tunnel. Seeing as there were cops chasing him after the first shot, lots of witnesses etc, I've a hard time accepting that no one noted the time. And the train is Japanese so probably on exact time.
>>283089333>>283078014..I really need to finish reading the chapter before writing these long-ass comments
>>283078098>he's a dope who tries to lay a trap for the killer since he doesn't have the evidence to prove his theorythis is a nice bit of storytelling actually considering that's exactly how Conan and Heiji solved the last case
>>283078147if I were Ran I'd be worried about conan getting groomed by this random lady they just met
>>283078221>using that fishing equipment behind yougod-fucking-dammit
>>283089182Kogoro isn't exactly the best father when it comes to this kind of awareness specifically, I don't think he thinks about it beyond "jesus, go to sleep"
>>283089345I really enjoy reading long comments like this.
....so how long until Gosho decided to use a fishing line to bait and switch us readers? Surely he's pretty aware of it at this point
Best case so far?
>>283077866Cute momma here
>>283089502Glad you liked it anon, I do really like writing them
when is his turn again?
>>283089513That's the first case in this thread>>28309151723 days
>>283089418Ran is not very smart.
Reading
Alele
>>283083548I mean it's mucking, ending with a with a ing which indicates that it's something to happens or something you do
>>283094061How far did you come?
>>283089345Wrong. It shows you're trying to think of the current case while reading. That's exactly why dailies exist
>>283083548>>283095552Fan translation has Conan ask if she cleans boro by herself, with boro meaning horse dung (or so Conan says). Viz probably couldn't find a good enough replacement.
>>283077403>>283077445>>283077493These lines and the rest of what we find out about the book didn't give me a very high opinion of Yusaku's writing skills. That's some uninspired and rather purple prose. At least he acknowledges the book sucked too >>283078207. I guess it tracks, most of the highly successful writers of our time are not particularly impressive on a technical level.

Thank you and good luck, OP

>>283100082>Criminal's motive is getting the pic of Ran's buttI understand him on a deep and spiritual level
>>283099645Is Serena ugly in canon or what lmao, why is Conan such a cunt here
>>283099810Serena is a recurring customer of "getting killed, almost but not quite"
>>283100255Not so clever. Everyone knows you never take out the weapon if you've been stabbed.
Done. If you're gonna be a serial killer, at least go to another vacationing spot, man.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>283100234I think it's her personality and general vibe that's meant to be offputting
>>283100316Thanks again, OP
>>283100192Does Sonoko bleach her hair? Her sister is the opposite of flashy and she has the same hair color. Didn't they inherit it from their dad?
>>283099984>that core strength
>>283100234He's a dick in general, but in this case he probably subconsciously noticed something off about the guy right at the start.Sonoko seems cute enough. She just comes across as a little too ditzy and desperate and her looks don't shine as much next to Ran, who's more of an ideal Japanese beauty.
>>283099645LMAO Cona is such a dick.
>>283099645Arent the girls highschoolers?

>>283100236Oh, it's another Shinichi/Heiji/Kaito
>>283100280Sonoko you stupid slutThanks OP
>>283097113>most of the highly successful writers of our time are not particularly impressive on a technical level.Well, most of the things that will help you be successful (networking, finding the right agent, being marketable) have jack shit to do with writing.Neil Gaiman made a fortune rewriting greek myth and Irish folklore, while all of his "original" stories are quite stale. But you talk to everyone in the industry, they'll tell you he was charming and professional.
>>283101041This chapter came out in 1998
>>283099669Enter! I think? Doesn't he become like a recurring character or something? We're nearing the point where my conan-knowledge ends..

>>283100361probably natural hair, guy is just projecting
>>283100255>makoto gets to keep his very NIHONGO namekinda unfair
>>283101712>Neil GaimanI think you mean Robert Graves, Gaiman wrote about Norse gods and it's pretty recent too compared to his most famous stuff (Sandman, American Gods)
>>283077299I would be scared too
>>283100234I think she has really bad luck with men, rather than being ugly. Being a hopeless romantic is part of her character.Conan is just being self aware of the story here.
>>283099727Wait, Sonoko isn't a natural blonde?
>>283099753>That guy with the glasses...
>>283102302She also kept up with the car in heels.
>>283100204Say what you want about Sonoko, but the fact that being a serial killer is a deal breaker for her already puts her a step above a lot of women.
>>283062057>haibara goes to the school nurse and gets found out as a short but fully matured and fertile woman
>>283100234He's known Sonoko since they were little and thus, is biased, since he has probably never thought about her that way.Though the most likely explanation is that he knows she has bad luck with men.
>>283101768Yeah. He even got his own movie (Fist of Blue Sapphire)
>>283100192good to know than japan already has incel killers back then in the 90s
>>283100234Serena's general vibe is that obnoxious girl who can't stop repeating oh my gosssh everywhere.
>>283099886I'll drink to that.
>>283100234He knows Sonoko.
>>283102302Security glass is supposed to break up in big safe chunks

Number one's murderous weapon in Goshoverse
>>283107185Ban assassination wire! Nobody needs to own that sort of thing.
>>283102878no wonder Ran can't recall who that was. He remembers it so she doesn't have to
>>283107185Is Gosho a fisherman or something?He has a real fascination with monofilament and trick knots
>>283107185no law abiding citizen needs to possess a fishing wire longer than 10 feet
>>283097113to be fair, it was an unfinished first draft and yusaku didn't deem the story worthwhile enough to just write it anew when the original manuscript was stolen. The book really seems to just have been trash all around
>>283109165Officially, he is a huge fan of football (soccer for burgers) and baseball. He has two brothers helping him with the plot, an engineer advising him on car tricks, and a doctor supplying medical knowledge (and otaku knowledge of which voice actor to choose).The fishing line is really just convenient cause it's mostly invisible when stretched out, the surface doesn't cause so much friction, and it's easy to cut (technically, it could snap by itself when handled too rough, but the one in DC seems better quality than the real life one).
>>283100234It is not so much her looks as her general attitude.
>>283100280i 'm glad that Makoto&Sonoko are not childhood friend couple.
>>283107185I'm surprise that japan wasn't meme'ing about wire, instead they make meme about blackman
>>283110548It was bound to happen, not everyone can be childhood friends, unless Gosho throws in some flashback of forgotten events out of the blue, like how Amuro met Shinichi and Ran as kids.
>>283099830I, too, would be willing to take off my shirt for Conan, if you know what I mean.
>>283099848>The man who attacked was hairier.So if you glued hair to your arms before attacking and then washed it off afterwards, you would not be suspected?
>>283110700If you glued hair to your arms, Sonoko would end up with a full mouth of it, and be too shocked to say anything.
>>283099922Leaving your Sonoko alone in the car is a very bad idea. Do not try this at home.
Are the special volumes actually good or no? I tried the first few but the art was so ugly that I dropped it. Also are the story relevant for canon stuff?
The kid detectives were so boring Gosho had to add Haibara, and later he usually made sure their cases were paired with someone else like Takagi/Sato
>>283110760No, they are not canon to main plot. The art is different cause they were made solely by Gosho's assistants.It's been a while since I've read them, but I think they were really just for those that needed an extra fix.
>>283100236I thought the plot twist was going to be that it was Heiji in a disguise.
