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 176: Foreign Suspect Murder Previous case:>>285866282
File 605: An Unexpected Suspect
File 606: Friday the 13th
File 607: Camel's Past
>>285902212Better do whatever that hag wants from now on, Kir.
File 608: Magic Spell
File 609: Wedge of Steel
Done. There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>285902225>Especially GinI wish I could read that story, sigh
>>285902310Absolute curveball
>>285902875aaand this is where I stopped reading conan altogether
>>285903021The million dollar question is: did Akai farm aura in front of Black without telling him his plan, or is Black lying to his agents right here?Because if it's the second, it means Akai and Black are suspecting a mole. If it's the first, Akai isn't trusting Black.Great case. On a reread, Kir arc is better than I remembered.
>>285902225>>285902236>>285902249I love Ai.
>>285902376This is an interesting angle, where a suspect we already know is innocent is acting suspicious as fuck.I do appreciate that even after over 600 chapters, Gosho can mix up the formula a little to keep it interesting.
>>285902236>last panelwhat did ai mean by this
>>285903094damn, i'll really miss akai... nah just joking. fuck that guy. thanks op.
>>285902330>The Japanese police aren't supposed to know there are undercover FBI agents here.>>285902407>tells the Japanese police that he's an undercover FBI agent?????
>>285902432Honest question, can Japs tell the difference between another Jap and an Asian from somewhere else?
>>285904592She didn't tell police they are undercover FBI agents, she said they were FBI agents under covers on a bed.
>>285902859>taught his son how to fire a gun but not how to speak EnglishDo American parents really...?
>>285902982>>285902995>>285903002Is it bad that I'm wondering how he survived this, not if?
>>285904814There will be explanation, I don't remember if it will be entirely satisfactory though. Frankly, with short time, Gin on Kir's ass, and them being heavily monitored during the shooting, anything would have felt too good anyway.
>>285902263eh, sounds like suicide to me
>>285903712James knew
>>285902886Akai is char?I mean, I guess akai does mean red
>>285903043...it did feels weird that conan just lend out his phone like thatand the explanation a bit nonsensical too, even though it kinda touched on the case
>>285905767from wiki>Akai's name comes from the Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable, whose nickname was the "Red Comet" (赤い彗星 Akai Suisei?), and Char's voice actor Shuichi Ikeda (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem Deikun (sounds like Dai-kun in Japanese). Moroboshi can also mean falling star, another possible allusion to Red Comet.And his future rival will have references to Amuro.
>>285902407Camel is just used to the insults by this point. Poor guy.
>>285902510Oh shit, he's going to call Conan!
>>285902288cute freckles
>>285904592They told the police he was an FBI agent in personal business.
>>285902421no... my favorite girl isn't pure...
>>285902613this is getting embarrassing, megure
>Getting caught because he doesn't know EnglishA common mistake.
>>285902236>>285904512As they said in the anime episodes that she thinks Akai is a lolicon. The reaction was priceless, she acted like he is a predator.
>>285902298> You didn't say thank you Is genta JD Vance by any chance?
>>285906925>spent years involved with criminal organization, and all the sneaky business>but her first thought about FBI agent is that he is off limits cause loliconAi is getting too cozy with her child role.
>>285906925i actually like the anime version of this scene more. ai looks way more emotive here
>>285902258>>285902263pffftQuickest transition yet, Conan's Shinigami aura is getting out of control
>>285907513Considering Genta's plate, it was probably restaurant owner sending angry vibes that caused the murder by proxy.
>>285902185How do you know there's no bugs right now? Or even spies among the literal whos?
>>285904603Kind ofMostly based on eyeslash
>>285902557Remember this scene. Gosho will bring it back later
>>285906665Esl moment
>>285902557First appear of one eyes willy
>>285907998one-eyed willy is slang for penis
>>285908149Eye known
>>285902747so had they just searched the suspects this case wouldnt even take 1 minute
>>285908535For the sake of one's health, it's better to let a case stretch, than to not let shinigami show off his crime-solving skills.
>>285902263Gaijin tarento is an amusing conceptIt's like if we just had japanese fellers kicking around over here who are just famous for speaking English Then again there is that one baseballer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdGai72Tt8Y
since this is the only DC thread in the catalog i just wanna say that Chianti is very cute in the latest chapter with her civvie disguise. probably the only instance I've ever seen where a goth getup actually does massive disservice to a girl
>>285908766Post spoilered picture.
Remember when the series was cool?
>>285909002Everything is cool when it's just a fresh passion project and before corporate meddling. After that it's all think of the kids, think of the ratings, ideas running low...
>>285908893korn is so lucky
>>285902982Based
>>285902909It's already time for those guys to appear? Nice.
>Kir arc is over
>>285910106They still have to jettison the annoying brother off the cast.
>>285902212Vermouth sexo
>>285902236He's keeping another secret from Haibara too. Shinichi loves being deceitful to girls, he really wants a beating from them.
>>285902236>I'm kinda hoping he sticks around and joins our sideSo he can attempt to stab someone again when he's being emotional?
>>285902385>>285902376Shouldn't an FBI agent operating in secret have an answer ready for that question?
>>285902510>>285902515Really bad trigger discipline, Gin. With the amount of times he has pointed a gun at his coworkers, it's a wonder nobody has died yet.
>>285912492They shouldn't even be operating abroad, that's not their field. But it will soon become obvious that FBI agents in DC are not meant to be the sharpest pencils in the box.
>>285912816And he's holding it sideways, they say that in anything but action movies that kind of position would seriously screw up your aim.
>>285902557That seems like an unbelievably stupid thing to do in that situation. How was he not fired?
>>285902658>TrystCool, I learned a new word today.
>>285902719I love Vodka's ridiculous underbite
>>285903080Is Vermouth gonna be relevant again or is she relegated to driving around in her tight leather suit? Not that I'm complaining, those are some nice panels.
>>285913917She is going to assist another BO agent, and jump in all by herself in a certain case.
>>285902625>"I love Ai" anonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe02Kt8l-z0
>>285902699>Going to jail for being an ESL
>>285902982>>285902995>>285903002RIP AkaiAnd how kind of Kir to wipe the blood off of his mouth and adjust his head

Case 177: Witness Eri Kisaki Murder File 610: The Sound
File 611: The Flying Body
File 612: Mechanics of an Alibi
>>285922245I can't believe Gosho is gonna kill off Eri in this case. RIP
Done. Feels like a while since we last saw Sleeping Kogoro. See you tomorrow!
>>285922694Look at that smug brat.
>>285922810Tsundere hags are cute.
>>285922833Thx mate.
>>285922795Okay, this HAS to be the stupidest motive yetAnyone keeping track?
>>285922366>martial artist>killed by a knifeThis doesn't compute.
>>285922618It still bothers me that they use women being too weak to do anything physical to completely rule out possibilities when Ran exists.She's not even a sci-fi element like Conan being turned into a kid or any of Agasa's gadgets.
>>285923965I still think the Sherlock fanfic is dumber, but this gives it a run for its money.
>>285923965the videogame one where the victim changed a small rule or something
>>285902190Rena a cute
>>285922810>>285922820Based Kogoro.Also, FUCK AKAI. FUCK HIS FAMILY. FUCK REI.
>>285902719Looks sexier in the anime.
>>285902674How the fuck did they pronounce sit down to shiran. I can understand puri but shiran?
>>285927570I don't get it either. She ran puree.
>>285902515How does he know? Like, if they have the FBI bugged or they have a mole there, they should also know about the plan with Kir.Additionally, the agent that's in the police case is the one that's supposed to be dead.
>>285902699You can feel how much of this case exists because you can't have a "case" that doesn't have Conan in it, but they need him to not be solving FBI's real problems right now.
>>285925711Which one was that? I don't even remember that.
>>285922392>>285922404Well, that was quick.
>>285922700>fishing lineHere we go again
>>285922833Thanks OPRefreshingly entertaining case after so many BO chapters. Eri a cute.
>>285923965She is phrasing it weirdly and fixating on the hair dresser stuff, but ultimately it's just jealousy.My favorite will always be, along what other anons mentioned, the toy designer that started producing dices with sharp edges to save money which made the killer upset because THINK OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR DELICATE HANDS!
>>285928375I think that anon is referring to the case with the shogi player culprit. iirc the victim was planning to develop a shogi videogame with the culprit but was halfassing it, which made the veteran shogi player angry enough to kill him despite being friends for years.
>>285922795Woman moment
>>285925460Ran is a freak of nature that everyone treated her as unique being, and not actually normal female
Okay, now can someone counting how many case where fishing line were crucial point
>>285928937autism rage is a real deal, as 4chan shows.
>>285913917She peactically clowning on Conan multiple time
>>285922269I could fix her
>>285923965I think it's as dumb as the sherlock fanboy case.
>>285925711Dude spent 10 years or so wanting to leave his mark on history, only to discover that his code monkey didn't even take it seriously. It's legit enough.
>>285922289>Hairdresser about to finish my hairstyle>She goes "brb mind if I take the trash out before touching your hair again?">Wut
>>285922329>Corpse flying>Klak klak klakIf she killed the dude via catapult this immediately becomes my favorite case ever
>>285903712I just like it because we have like 3 or 4 cases just moving the case forward. With one of them even blending in a normal case. I love Conan at best when it mixes normal every day murders with a bit of plot.
>>285902674Its a shame this bit doesn't translate well in reverse, I think its a unique way to out a culpret
>>285922429goddamn conan swinging with a subtlety of sledgehammer
>>285922499>>285922485jesus conan really pushing his lucks in this case
>>285922527And this is why a child should always be properly seated and secured on the back seat. Both Kogoro and Ran like to violate traffic laws.
>>285922536Damn, she must have some hellish good chemicals, hair dye usually takes 20-30 minutes just to set, that's not counting the time it takes to first apply it on the hair.Perm requires hair to be put on lots of curlers while simultaneously applying the chemical on each, and then it takes 1 hour for the chemicals to make the curl permanent.
>>285922257What an absolute cutie of a hairdresser.
>>285922700Okay, everyone's just humoring Conan's Sleeping Kogoro act by now. Right? They're standing so close it's impossible for them not to hear Conan's voice overlapping with "Kogoro".
>>285927570It's actually pretty close when you hear it being pronounced, shi is pronounced a bit different from english, so the vocals connect into heavily accented "sit down".https://translate.google.com/?sl=ja&tl=en&text=shiranpuri&op=translate
>>285931375I just keep telling myself Yusaku is paying them to keep quiet, so his son can have his adventure.
>>285930276Perk of being a child
>>285931613That's probably why no one has honestly tried to kill Genta yet.
>>285903066Gosho was cruel! making her wait for 7 years to reveal Akai is alive and introduce nippon favorite detective rei and hence the status quo is established.
>>285932035To us it was 7 years, to them maybe a week. One thing I am rather annoyed about is that Subaru is not his own character, I like the cunning fox more than edgy Akai, but there is only so many detectives that could be running around before it gets really cramped.
>>285922429I dunno but I think this is the only time Conan sadistic behavior. In other cases, he look for evidence and motives. But this case he like just finish it ASAP! Maybe he miss Akai.
>>285903002Kir last dance before npced.
>>285932099Another point is that he doesn't like to be around Eri/Eva for too long, since she is usually smart enough to question things he says/does. And Kogoro and Eri in same place can be quite a bother to deal with.
>>285932098It is like facing death make ls home lose edgeness. Same as kudo at the start he was cocky and reckless, but after meeting Gin he always thinks about future. Shit got real!
>>285932130Still doing better than Camel, whose mouth never shuts.
>>285932234I missed last few episode that had a very cool Camel
>>285929625like he could just tell the guy to take it seriously
>>285933835If I remember right, at that point he was already hard pressed with all the loans he took out to finance this, a longer delay while the code guy gets his shit together could have ruined him and that would be the end of his dream altogether. So it's like a dam broke and killing desire flooded everything.
>>285902886André Camel = Lieutenant DrenWhile you have stuff like Kogoro for Kogoro Akechi or Megure for Maigret. Idk Gosho, it feels a bit contrived
>>285922269Imagine the grip
>>285902572So how does this make sense? She woke from a coma and immediately escaped without talking with any of them. This phone call sounds like she had made a deal with the FBI, and Gin is there to listen to this phone call.
>>285922366Takagi is so cultured. Meanwhile Sato doesn't even know basic human etiquette
>>285922341Of all the people, you chose the detective and lawyer couple as your fake alibi.We'll see how that pays off.
>>285922527Kek
>>285922631I don't think you can get such force by slamming the brakes without anyone in the neighborhood hearing it. It's kinda contrived
>>285922694Is this the first time she gets to see Sleeping Kogoro?
>>285928937Not even half-assing it, but pandering to CASUALS.>We promised we'd make a shogi AI that can beat even the best in the world, and he's asking me about takebacks?!
>>285922774It seems like it would have been way easier to just kill him in a moment when Eri was waiting for something and then not move the body till much later.
>>285931375It would have been so easy for him to go around the corner in the alley, too. Brat just doesn't give a fuck anymore.
>>285934624Akai being Char is far more contrived. Seems Gosho was exploring his love for Gundam then, but his name ideas were worse than Agasa's puns.
>>285934834We don't know what Rena told the BO. Maybe she told them she was conscious at some point and they tried to make her defect, which is even correct. The fact that she was lying down during the transport could just have been regular drugs.Now what's more unbelievable is for someone to walk around like that after being in a hospital bed for weeks without moving.
>>285922366>>285934845I like how this is consistent with Takagi being a martial arts enthusiast, back from the case with the masked wrestlers.
>>285935219But then she would be without alibi. They can't determine time of death very precisely, especially the longer a body rots, so they wouldn't be able to tell he died precisely when she was busy with a client. She also wouldn't be able to say she didn't have time to kill him in between.
>>285935219Considering they are able to pinpoint the time of murder very precisely in DC, she wouldn't have an alibi in that case. The time for the transport of the body was the key here, not the murder itself.
>>285935850>They can't determine time of death very precisely>>285935857>Considering they are able to pinpoint the time of murder very precisely in DCWELL WHAT IS IT NOW
>>285935894With very fresh corpse it's easier to tell when he died. With corpse that has been lying around for a while, especially when influenced by change in temperature, it gets harder. In every other detective show they will usually just give a time frame of few hours at best, unless they have proof victim was alive at time that would fit into that frame, and discovered soon after.But sometimes Detective Conan operates on its own rules for simplicity.
Next case shinigami will really put a lot of effort.
>>285922833Thank you for posting.
>>285922276>>285922341The number of tiles below the Hair Salon sign goes from 11 to 10! This is extremely rare in DC, because the background assistants have been the same since the beginning of the series, and are extremely consistent. (personally, they are top tier in manga industry - zero pc usage, always by hand and incredibly consistent. The best evidence is Kogoro's office)
>>285922404This is the kind of details I love, because they look obvious in hindsight, but it makes absolute sense any kind of culprit wouldn't consider them. And even if they did, there was nothing the culprit could do something about it: a hairphone alone isn't enough to blow all cut hair disappear, and if you wash the victim hair the police will immediately know the body's wet, and ask themselves why.This girl fucked up big.
>>285941412This is some advanced autism, anon. Well spotted.
>>285922341She's turning into a herbivore
>>285941412The vertical length is also inconsistent.
Case 178: Furinkazan Murder File 613: Centipede
>>285942851>Furinkazani know what it means thanks to Sengoku Rance, but iirc there has already been a Conan case that mentioned it.
File 614: Armored Samurai
File 615: The Art of War
>>285943134He gets so happy when Shinichi is around
File 616: Furinkazan
File 617: War

Done. Feels like cases are getting long-ish again.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>285943186Enter the most competent police detective
>>285945025>Become used goods to solve a murderThe dedicatio...
>>285943435Kazuha is way prettier when she untie her hair. It's like a theme for with Gosho that any girl tie her hair or use headband is a 10.
>>285943057wait i thought she was just arrested?
>>285944087dorks
>>285943134>Heiji blushing immediatly at the thought of his boyfriend
>>285943186ENTER
>>285943206>Heiji is genuinely happy to see him>Conan is acting nonchalant and annoyed againBrat.
>>285944957is no one gonna complain that not only he's wearing a priceless historical artifact and ruining it with his sweat but also chucking it like a fucking ball?
>>285943206>Smiling, even blushingDownright peculiar.
>>285943362>"Sho woman. I've got my boyfriend with me"
What the fuck was with that twist. At least the osananajimi can get together, I guess
>>285942928They should have placed the centipede on his tongue.
>>285944287>yet another childhood friends coupleJust who was the girl that stole Gosho's heart to have him become like this?
>>285944501Let me guess, Scar Guy is making this up to lure out the real killer.
>>285944566>Fooling around againH-hot...
>>285944897>killed 5 people because an archer was too good to gamble onTwo contenders for pettiest motive in a row.
>>285945025>woman police officer is only good for making coffeeThat's very problematic, Gosho.
>>285944648>Blue is... the color of all that I wear
>>285945068Thanks OPDecent case, feels like a while since we had a proper serial killer>>285947836Well, she did also want to cover up her murder.
This is like a bizarro version of one of the earlier serial murder cases. All of the necessary parts for a good case are there , Gosho just absolutely fumbles it all.>Kogoro is a ghost who contributes less than nothing >Ran and Kazuha have even less personality than usual>Every single chapter apparently has to start with a wall of exposition>The motivation for the murder (as well as the murderer's identity) are basically not developed at all and just pulled out of nowhere >The actual centerpiece is the introduction of another epic based side character with his own will they won't romance slop routine >Has to end in a terribly choreographed action set piece It's getting fucking tough out here
>>285948019you just described every single Conan case
>>285944861That panel makes it seem like the victim didn't put up any fight at all and just let herself get strangled. Her hands aren't even tied up and she's up against an old hag. Considering the murder took place very shortly before they were found, she could have just ripped off the gag and screamed for help.
>>285948044me when I'm blind and retarded and can't read and also am just lying
>>285945068Long-ish for Conan. Once you think of the average Kindaichi case lenght, DC is faster than bullets
>>285935803But if I remember correctly (it may have been only in the movies) Takagi has also identified several artists in general, both painters, singers and actors
>>285945068Thx mate
>>285943186OH!? I saw movie 13 a couple days ago and I was wondering what this guy deal was, since nobody talked about him other than presenting him as a police detective. I suppose I shouldn't watch more DC movies until we're deeper in the read along.
>>285942928that's clearly a worm
>>285947836Some people just go as far below as they can when it comes to money
>>285948436The newest one is all about him and the case they mentioned. It's pretty bad
I have to admit, my eyes glassed over in this cage. Pretty boring.
>>285943967>mysterious like the dark side of the moon
>>285943514>Ran's horn cinfirmed to be longer and thicker than a Samurai helmet.
>>285943967lol, Disney got most of it wrong, may be that's why the chinese hate Mulan.
While I was completely lost through most of the case (a family tree would have been greatly appreciated), I really liked the ending. I still don't understand how five year passed since Kai's death and the first of the serial murders death. Let this be a reminder to not read cases when sleepy
>>285946195Speedreader-kun...
>>285946970Akira should have been the real culprit.
>>285948019The killer's motivation is often the weakest part of a Conan case. The bigger issue with this one is the convoluted yet boring small town drama and the logical holes. It could've been solved much faster if the police had tried to figure out where the centipedes came from.
>>285949840no anon YOU are the speedreader. look at the armor he's wearing again, it's not the cheap white replica, it's the real deal red armor that's already stated to cost a fortune >>285943944
>>285943615Kind of hot.
>>285943967A nephew is still a blood relative, Heiji, that's why one is not supposed to fuck their first cousin.
>>285923965shine was peak
>>285954574That wasn't stupid motive, just middle finger from fate. The girl was still getting harassed and who knows how she would have ended up even without the shine thing, the killer just didn't realize his was the straw that broke camel's back.
>>285953215gws anon
>>285952405M-MASAKA! Owari da...
>>285943134this nigga so fruity
>>285943206wait isn't this the guy from the latest snow movie?
>>285955844Yes, that's inspector Yamato. And Yui Uehara. They are just missing Taka'aki Morofushi, aka Komei, and his pain in the ass fancy quotes.The movie was expansion on the case they briefly mention in this one.
>>285942851please not another kanji case
Did the average anon here know what Furinkazan meant before stepping into this case? I'm just curious
>>285943787I guess it's a recurring theme in conan but are warring state period treasures really sought after in japan?
>>285956063YeahI have pretty surface level knowledge of sengoku era japan because of Rance
>>285943395sounds like the sons caused the officer death in some way, and the centipede is a message from the killer related to iteasy enough i guess
>>285943571holy shit, did everyone took part in killing that officer or something
>>285956080Wouldn't that be pretty logical? Anything with historical value comes with bragging rights, and warring state period is probably the most popular one of them all.
>>285943615does hanging really kill you that quick
>>285956063No, I only had a vague knowledge of the original quote by Tsun Zu. Japanese history is hard, I already have enough learning the history of my country at a deeper level
>>285956111If your neck breaks, yes. But with suicides when one kicks off the chair or something it doesn't necessarily happen, so one can even save the person if they are quick enough. That's why death penalty by hanging was done by making the hanged person fall into a deep pit, the longer the fall, the more likely the physics would cause the neck break.
>>285943615>>285943595I'm not sure if it's just the new digital artstyle or what, but these newer corpse discovery scenes are so meh. With the early conan I remember the younger me genuinely dreading to open the next page because some of the scenes are legit scary (I think it was thanks to the liberal use of black inks and the more intense shading, but it's not like those effects can't be done in digital. If anything it should be easier)
>>285944263>randomly opening phoneyeap, he's so dead
>>285944167I dunno man, if your archery is only good when the target is stuck to one spot maybe he's not that good to begin with
>>285956248To be fair, it's much harder to aim straight when riding a horse. Archery competitions usually have both the archer and the target firmly in place, and even then it's not easy to get a good hit, so it's amazing if one can do it while moving fast.
>>285945025Do you think she moaned "Kan-chan" during sex with her husband?
>>285948124>Kogoro is a ghost who contributes less than nothingSo normal Kogoro>Ran and Kazuha have even less personality than usualYeah i guess Ran is a call the police and Kyaaaa bot since her doubts ended but is not like she was a good character before or something and Kazuha was always boring>Every single chapter apparently has to start with a wall of expositionthis happen in all cases>The motivation for the murder (as well as the murderer's identity) are basically not developed at all and just pulled out of nowherebetter than delaying a game or being jealous>The actual centerpiece is the introduction of another epic based side character with his own will they won't romance slop routinelets hope it doesnt>Has to end in a terribly choreographed action set piecebetter than the murderer just getting cuffed and arrested
>>285956149They just toned it down in general, earlier crime scenes were way more gruesome.
>>285958699I miss that, you could really tell something brutally robbed him of his life. Murder should look like an ugly act, not like they are just playing a prank on the detective.
I can't believe you faggots are doing le "old good new bad" meme when this chapter literally showed a man burning to death
>>285959380Anon , this here is an extremely disappointing panel for a man burning to death >>285944330And the way it happened was pretty halfassed as well. I don't want to hate too much, I still enjoy the cases, but the decline in quality is very noticeable.I can't find a better image right now, but this guy from the Osaka case here comes to mind when thinking of a better example for a burning victim.
>>285945068Thank you for posting.
>>285959611It's actually kind of hard to draw burning victims in black and white manga, but I found a rather good one, you can still see one eye open in shock.
>>285961966Yeah, that's about as good as it gets without overdoing the details.
>>285956080Tell me your country's greatest heroes. Imagine you know their belongings are still hidden somewhere. To top it all, crank it up since Japan is both traditionalist and nationalist.Actually... the only countries that wouldn't understand it immediately are the youngest, like USA.
