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 137: Kaitou Kid and the Three InstrumentsPrevious case:>>284870823
Fiel 475: The Seal
File 476: Karakuri
File 477: Sacred Treasures
File 478: Eternal
Done. This one kinda felt like a videogame puzzle, it was fun.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!

Haibara~~~
>>284892559>>284892571I love Ai.
>>284893262love it when conan used his stupid stun gun on a cute girl
>>284892527lol at Agasa making fun of Shinichi having to attend music class in elementary school and need help with his homework.
>>284892559>"And the police may find it hard to swallow that the person using that address in a criminal."Does that mean whoever the boss is, it's someone famous, so the police would doubt he's a criminal?
>>284893933Or a young kid. Or a man who seems too old and ill to commit crimes. There are several different possibilities.
>>284892954>>284892978If only we had a magician and a shitload of Heike Crabs
>>284894293What are you talking about?
>>284892858Oh my god, I hate this fat fuck idiot
>>284892779finally, the fat fuck's gonna get skewered
>>284892883Kind of glossing over the fact that they are in a mass graveLike, a hundred people died here
>>284892618It's gonna be some bullshit Kanji puzzle again, isn't it?
>>284892632>big jewelsah, its time for that motherfucker again aint it
>>284892539Were the tones really standardized across devices back in the day?
>>284893357Thanks OP, this one's kind of a stinker, the kid's haven't been this annoying in a long time (plus the Kaito cases are getting too movie-like and over the top). Also, I'm starting to get a bit tired of every character doing meta commentary like they're doing ad reads.
>>284893218THIS FAT FUCK KEEP MESSING UP EVERYTHING
>>284893357thanks opthe journey of getting the hints is neat, but its funny that its the hint that needs kanji knowledge while the main puzzle just need to know that japanese calls mercury a "water planet" literally
>>284896318i say they just sounds like that because its the same tone they used for landline telephone buttonthough now im also kinda curious on how telephone settled on that standard in the first place, because its not like the one with rotating lever thingy beeps when you input the number
>>284892870>>284892883Nice save by Conan, but how did he fall faster than the rest when he had to catch up with them?
>>284896877It's a global standard. Simply put, phones needed to relay what number was selected to the system (initially, a person) that connected the call to the receiver. Thus, each number was assigned a tone.That phone makers then decided to relay that sound to the user when cellphones with built in speakers arrived seems to simply have been an accessibility feature to make it easier to dial and remember numbers, especially for people with vision impairment.
>>284897145>Simply put, phones needed to relay what number was selected to the system (initially, a person) that connected the call to the receiver.So a person used to connect the caller to the receiver, it wasn't an automated thing? How did the tone help the people who were in charge of connecting callers?
>>284897368Yeah, haven't you seen the pictures of women in front of these huge boards with wires connecting callers and receivers? However I looked it up now and I forgot that in this era you actually just verbally told the operator who/where you wanted them to connect you to. The dial tones were added/invented later specifically to allow for automation of this step
>>284892512>it's a Kaitou Kid episode
>>284892618my nigga Kichiemon ENTER!
>>284897064I think he used the super sneaker to give himself a boost in the second panel. >>284892870
>>284898811huhis he gonna show up again in the future chapters or something?
>>284892549Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Gosho.
>>284893357So what's stopping the fat guy from coming back with a boat, taking the diamond and then jumping on the boat? Or swap the diamond with a weight so the trap deactivates
>>284893341I don't follow the Kaito side stories at all but wasn't it confirmed that him and Kudo are related in some way?
>>284893357>"I should rip that snotty monocle off and see your real face...>No, no, no.>Pandora opened the box to see what was inside.>What's the thrill of knowing what's in the box before you open it?"What does Kaito Kid mean here? He's telling Conan to figure out his identity first before seeing his real face? If Conan sees his face and knows what he looks like, he'll lose the thrill when he figures out who he is since he's doing it in the wrong order?
>>284893367Ai has bright blonde hair like this, why does she have boring brown hair in anime?
>>284899387No but you're going to see a lot of his stuff showing up in some chapters
>>284896244I remember the first time I read that fucker feels like coming out of nowhereNow I feel like it makes much sense when rereading it
I cried a bit over The Locked Bathroom Murder Case episode. A murder over a mere misunderstanding.
>>284900585I remember their fathers were cousins or siblings
>>284902236Their fathers are twin brothers.
>>284895005Usagi Yojimbo
>>284893357>murder, Kaito Kid, puzzles, action scenes, giant ball gadgetI bet my balls this was a rejected movie script, the chapter was released around the same time as Magician of the Silver Sky
>>284893225armpit
>>284903062To be fair kaito kid case always been like this
currently reading furuya's spinoff mangai think i get it, fujosisters...
>>284904873what was the narrative/storytelling advantage of this panel?...
>>284904887Total Amuro wank... until you realize Rei is not that Rei.
>>284892549This seems like quite a huge escalation, really.
>>284892618>>284892632>KongorikishiCan this Rikishi turn coal into diamonds with his bare hands?
>>284892954I love that the sacred sword is called Grasscutter. (Among other things)I don't ever recall seeing an explanation for it before this though.
>>284893331Such an obvious subversion it would have been more surprising if the fat bastard was really Kaito
>>284892843Genta sure is having a lot of near-death experiences. I hope the next one won't just be "near".
>>284893933I think it's just the setting in general"Hey I was shrunk to a kid by some goons of this massive crime organization, here's the address of the boss, go get 'em"Even if they believed this (Which apparently, only Takagi would, which seems like a stretch, but whatever), that's not very compelling evidence.
>>284903062I'd think it's more a movie ad kinda deal.Slap Kid onto a case to coincide with the movie.And since the movie is what it is, you get a movie-like case too.
>>284893331Huh, I thought it wouldn't be the old lady, since that seemed much too obvious.
>>284905680>until you realize Rei is not that Rei.What?
>>284906712she's an old lady (also named rei) who frequents poirot cafe and modelled her avatar after her favorite waiter
>>284892527>>284872918so why was conan so frightened by the end of last chapter
>>284907644I guess he realized the boss's email address after finding out the tune.
>>284907644Clickbait
>>284892549conan should just sign the boss up to a bunch of porn sites
>>284892549>Call the BO number>No "Muh name is muh name!!!!" Wasted opportunity :(
>>284892559I'm 2000% convinced the BO has first hand ties with some police force. That's the only reason I see that can explain:-Vermouth needed to call him in a hurry when she was with Conan-Conan having a time window immediately after Vermouth's call-Ai's words-and why Gosho would need 5 different japanese police settings, FBI, and even some other. It's a way to muddy the waters, the BO is hiding in one of those. This also explains why each of these groups features a relatively high number of named characters. Same reason.
>>284911248>>No "Muh name is muh name!!!!"I don't get it?
>>284892559It's funny to imagine the boss texting Haibara since apparently she already knew their email address and the boss. Probably wanted updates on the drug's development.
>>284911571>I'm 2000% convinced the BO has first hand ties with some police force.I feel like Ai warning Conan about Takagi being immediately taken out if he starts investigating who the email address belongs to suggests they have info on the police.>-Conan having a time window immediately after Vermouth's callWhat do you mean?
>>284892829>>284892843In DC murder knives look different. Not the culprit, but that knife could turn out to be relevant given the different design.
Early case today!Case 138: Suspicious Cell Phone Murder File 479: A Suspicious Message
>>284892894Do we have some sort of datation about this Kichiemon dude?Because this isn't the first ancient mansion in the woods that features Goonies-like tricks.
>>284905828Well, Grasscutter is a very scary name. I mean, it invokes the harvest, and Death's schyte. Too bad that the connection may not be intentional, Western and Asian cultures aren't the same.
File 480: A Suspicious Deduction
>>284893367>>284893389Beautiful colors
>>284913843I guess she did saw Jimmy and Conan in the same room back when they tested APTX antidoteBut I thought she's still kinda suspicious that they're the same person, but I guess not then?
>>284912765The Wire, a series you really should watch.In one episode a character's phone number is shown. Years ago, if you happened to call that number, HBO had set a prerecorded tape with the character's popular speech (my name is my name).
File 481: A Suspicious Alibi
>>284913060>-Conan having a time window immediately after Vermouth's call>What do you mean?Context within the case. All police/other forces were on alert.That's why Vermouth called (quick update on the situation/what to do), but that also means there was an open window: if the BO is in one of those forces, he was also doing his "police" job and that could potentially be exploited.
File 482: The Suspicious Truth
>>284913957What alias did he assume in the original?
File 483: Unlocking
Done. Suspicious suspicious suspicious suspicious.There is always only one truth! See you next year!
He is so worried about BO, when Conan should be more worried about Ran's revenge, after all the lies and deceit.
>>284915267Is bleached hair really so common in Japan that it would be strange for none of your characters to have it?
>>284913843Blonde hair... or light brunette?RAN'S INTUTITION IS RIGHTDEATH TO CHEATERSDEATH TO AI!
>>284917210It was very trendy at that time
>>284913937She doesn't have the money to buy another phone, but she has the money to hire a famous detective help her find it?
>>284915684Surely even old cellphones would have locked her out after that many tries
>>284914095>Flat screenTime marches on...
>>284917701Considering he still drives rentals, and actually is rarely hired, Kogoro's prices might not be that high.
>>284918053i remember when conan still have to use the tube computer in doc's house everytime he wants to read a msword documents like 20 chapters ago. now he got his own laptop and internet-capable phones
>>284919060I remember an early case where there was no way to call for help because cellphones didn't yet exist, and now they have been around for 10 years, which would have made Conan as old as Shinichi if passage of time was a thing.
>>284919060>i remember when conan still have to use the tube computer in doc's houseWhat's a tube computer?
>>284914335Why does Takagi always keeps his notebook sideways? Is it something from Japanese people in general or it's just his own thing?
>>284914445Ran's smug look is the reason why she's the best girl. Nobody puts on a smug face like Ran, and the fact she does it rarely it's even better.
>>284914534"Once you exclude all the impossibilities, the only solution, no matter how unlikely, it's the only correct one" or something?
>>284915783>from a girl i've got a crush on>>284915736>text from aigoshooooooo
>>284924490anon... it was a lie
>>284914095I love Ai.
>>284915783>messages from Ai>girl I have a crush onI KNEW IT
This could work as a plot twist threas
>>284913843>yabba dabba doo
>>284914748>>284914766Oh shit, Ran's gonna find out!This will really change the course of the story!
>>284914814>"Hey, Shinichi">Conan looks backkek, how hard could it be?
>>284914876>Doesn't sound like much of a motive for murder.Are you forgetting the time someone murdered someone over a Sherlock Holmes fanfic?
>>284918059Does Kogoro actually get paid for all his brilliant deductions?
Why can't he just tell her, though?If he knows she's onto him, isn't it better to tell her in private that he was turned into a child and is now in hiding?Imagine if she voiced any of her suspicions in public, and a BO member happened to hear her.
>>284893559I love Killua
Anyone got the pic of Ran's Butt?
>>284914766OH SHIT
>>284913843Why does she think that he's straight up fucking someone???I thought she was supposed to be an innocent maiden who doesn't know what sex is??
>>284915047Has Ran's facial expression and pose there been reoccurring for other characters? I feel like it's a common thinking face that other characters have made.
>>284919849How the fuck does the anime design gets so fucking bad. The manga gets worse over time but it still looks way better.
>>284938057Forgot pic.
>>284913862>someone cheated his wife with this la goblina nipponiadios mio...
>>284914137it has been bothering me for a while but why exactly did gosho included a pic of himself getting killed in these notes? is this some sort of joke that i don't get? or is it the assistants' doing?
>>284914683it's so fucking over
>>284915141an angry ran is cute too
>>284915849I wish I had someone who calls me just to hear my voice.Thanks OP and happy new year.
>>284938119I like 2001 and 2002
>>284914814You know, Ran is quite something as she thinks Conan is Shinichi from time to time, even though she saw them appear at the same time more than once.Others will brush it off immediately due to how ridiculous the idea is.I'd say this is the power of love.
>>284922392What's a tube computer?Zoomer-kun, i...
>>284939865What's over from reading that page? Ran's plan of catching Shinichi by taking Conan's phone while he's in the process of asking him for help in solving the case? Or Ran noticing that the detectives were being led on the right trail by Conan's childish babbling, which made her suspicious that Conan is actually Shinichi playing dumb to act like a kid.
>>284915736Ran doesn't pay attention to one thing: there should be calls and messages from Shinichi on the phone, but you can bet there's not even one
>>284946469>Ran doesn't pay attention to one thing: there should be calls and messages from Shinichi on the phoneWhy would there be? Ran thinks Conan is Shinichi and they use the same phone. Shinichi doesn't contact Conan under her theory since she's never seen Conan make a phone call before saying something clever.
>>284938119You know, i hate the new style as much as the next guy, but let's not pretend that the old monke conan with that massive ears doesn't look silly as well
>>284935338He gets paid by private clients, if they stay alive long enough, but most of his brilliant deductions are for the police, which has no intention of paying someone that butted into their investigation.
>>284944704well duh
>>284913761This is the first time he's brought up.
>>284913777>The phone isn't a toy!How times have changed.
>>284939758It's his own artwork. It's just a joke about this being a series about primarily solving murders so he draws himself getting murdered every volume. It's cute.
>>284944355nta, and I'm old enough to have used 90s computers, but that kind of wording is confusing even for google. Tube computer just gives vacuum-tube computer, the first generation that were huge and not for home use. In 90s they were simply called computers or PCs, with a tube computer monitor, better known by the abbreviation CRT.
>>284914683Do they not have limited attempts to crack the code?
>>284915027Putting in the prediction that the husband did it because the old man couldn't have, the curry was not planned, and the writer got an explanation for why Ran thought he was older.The husband got a similar comment about being younger, but that was still unexplained.
>>284915598Ran you can't just say you've done thing like THAT with a little boy.
>>284925460If Ran paid even a bit more attention to those messages, she'd be thinking of Conan and Ai naked in bed next.
>>2849381192003-2005 were the best.
>>284959528Ai's left leg seems to be suffering elongation side-effect from aptx.
>>284892668jesus genta you fat fuck stop being a gold digging whore
>>284959912Food addiction is expensive, he needs all the money he can get to buy those precious eel boxed lunches.

>>284949961The big ears are cute, though
>>284959912>>284959965Genta understands that treasure hunting is a man's romance.

>>284914423>>284914445hatesex with Ran must feel godly
>>284914766>wtf, a kid smarter than me? it must be jimmichi under some age-reversing potionran the schizo.
>>284956596Well which option? The first, the second, or both?
>>284914907these guys are fucking cursed.
>>284915267if there's no isekai in your manga you're a schizo living in a closet in the last 10 years. thank you, conan, makes sense.
>>284915849thanks op.
>>284892843Boobs is where the knives are stored.
>>284913830Oh no, the horn is starting to think.
>>284960984Why are the kids' heads so gigantic? Gosho doesn't draw them like that, this is on the anime artists.
>>284962642The composition isn't very in favor of smaller ones, so if their heads were normal size, they would blend too well in the crowd. Maybe if there was a whole scene, and the others were shown standing a bit further away it would not be so weird.
>>284939444Nonsense. She's cute.
>>284915849Thank you for posting and happy new year!
>>284914766Ran, this is like the fourth time you thought Conan might secretly be Shinichi. Aren't you getting tired of being proven wrong all the time?
>>284966586It doesn't really bother Kogoro that his deductions are nonsense until he mysteriously "solves" cases in his sleep, maybe Ran is the same.
>>284914030kogoro doesn't strike me as the type who enjoys appreciating paintings
>>284967263If Kogoro thought the artist was younger, and his work was really popular some time ago, maybe it was shown as part of something Kogoro was interested in, like a tv special with Yoko in it, or some magazine article. The artist guy said himself he does magazine commissions, so it's not like he can be seen only in galleries.
>>284914137>I exert a lot of force on my back teethFeels like I do this a lot as well. Should probably stop.
>>284963044Honestly i can't tell anymore if you're blind, trolling, or if you kissless virgins really just call every creatures with pussy and a pair of tits "cute" these days
>>284914463No hesitation!
>>284915369Mori Goro instead of Mouri Kogoro.Greatest detective in Kanto, everyone.
>>284914814>Conan realizing she's been staring at his butt all this time.
>>284914890And you still suck that bad?
>>284913862Bitches and whores
>>284914423i want Ran to look at me like that...
>>284968010
>>284914851>So Motoka was having an affair too?Beaches and shores
>>284948398And that's why if she'd check whether Shinichi is on the phone or not, she'd be able to dismiss her theory immediately.
>>284958719>>284939758Which makes me really curious about how Gosho drew himself in Vol 87, given he was hospitalized back then iirc.
>>284970462It's a bit too weird that every single wife/fiancee in that family was cheating, it's like they were cursed even before Conan came along with his death curse.And the only guy that didn't have a wife to cheat on him was the killer.
>>284970814Then she would be suspicious Shinichi sent fake messages and calls to make her believe that they're different people since Shinichi is so clever and sneaky. She needed the phone call from Shinichi where he's aware of her sending the same message to him and Conan approaching her simultaneously to take back his phone to think they were different.
Should've had Doc call her with the voice changer while she was in the car with Conan. EZ
>>284972186Doc can change his voice, but he can't act like Shinichi, especially if some lovey dovey stuff comes up, so Ran would quickly notice something is off.
>>284972613>lovey dovey stuff comes upthey're not lovey dovey at all.
Where the FRICK is OP?
>>284972613Anon, she was talking to a recording and didn't notice anything was off. I don't think Ran is very smart with these things.
Whore
>>284973088>Shinichi finds a way to have Vermouth call the Boss once again>actually Vermouth is texting Ran to join
>>284973009The recording was staged from Shinichi already predicting her behavior from the moment he purposefully left his phone in the car, and then him going to surprise her as Conan so she couldn't even pay attention to the call. If I was Ran I would be upset from all the lies and deceit Shinichi plays on her.
>>284973147He sold his body in order to gain his real body.
