>>287726121How many anons know what 50% chances of rain actually mean? Hint: it doesn't mean it's a coinflip for rain or not.

Done. I'm sorry, my eyes glazed over the explanation this time.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>287726210Just fucking say it Jimmychi you smug brat
>>287726162THE DEVIL'S HERB
>>287726221I'll be honest with you, I just skim through Kanji slop at this point.
>>287726376Hey, I know that guy.
>>287726444Kazuha is a hooker?!
>>287726407The guy is obviously waiting for his date, checking his hair and breath.
>>287726559>dat bulgeHeiji, you're on the phone with your boyfriend, contain yourself.
>>287726444Surprise NTR
>>287726637he said it
>>287726650Thanks OPDon't worry, I did the same.
>>287726302Well, good thing the only time the kids call Heiji the code uses both Tokyo and Osaka information. Really convenient.
>>287726637Really cute Kazuha
>>287726210Rain is always 50/50. It either happens or it doesn't. >t. meteorologist
>>287726162They should've let Genta touch even more of it so he gets busted as well.
>it's a kanji wordplay casedo these translate very poorly or am i just retarded
>>287728200it's ok anon, these cases are just retardedthere's a reason the series never really take off in the west despite its massive presence in its homeland
>>287726162The harbinger of death!
>>287726135based ai not giving a fuck about that boring crap.
>>287726376What are the odds, 3 of them with white roses.
>>287726627Huh, first time I learn of this.
>>287726327This is such an asinine code to use.
>>287726252resorting to heiji to solve a case, pathetic.
>>287726376>three suspectsHave a drink!
>>287726444looooooool
>>287726650thanks op.
>>287726650Conan can be such a smug little asshole.
>>287728200You don't need to know kanji for this case since it's just splicing words. However you do need to know Japanese maps.
>>287726206Ai being especially smug here
>>287726594Are these two grabbers a reference?Like the one on the right looks like Don Kanonji from bleach and maybe the other is a Naruto guy?Anyone else see what I mean?
>>287726911Yeah it'd be more fun if I were Japanese and reading this weekly but it's just not really great if you're not at least decent with kanji.
>>287733040Nah, they are just supposed to look like couple of thugs.
>>287731066I mean, well yeah. If you're a drug dealer you don't want it to exactly be child's play to figure out. Wait a minute...
>>287726363Aww jimmyichinan is worried about heiji
>>287726650>>287726911>>287727151The explanation is pretty simple.The Letter+numbers are the station numbers for train stations in either Tokyo or Osaka.If the station number on the left side of the column then they're for a station in Tokyo.If they're on the right side of the column then they're for Osaka.This is apparently due to escalator conventions in each city, people stand on the left in Tokyo and on the right in Osaka.The circled part of the station number tells you which kanji of the station name you should take (e.g., if the 3rd character of the station number is circled, take the 3rd kanji of the station name).Then you just read from top to bottom.The one station number that has an arrow pointing to the right is specifying it's the ebisu bridge in Osaka and not Tokyo.It's not a particularly difficult code, but you just need to be familiar with the station names or look them up. This actually isn't really a kanji puzzle. More of a knowledge check if you know the train systems in Tokyo and Osaka. A case that's very much for the average Japanese but complete Greek to us gaijins.
>>287733482Forgot pic related. Look at the signs for the Tokyo Shibuya station and Osaka Namba station.
>>287726650Thanks OPI usually hate smug conan but sometimes I love his smug face when it's not related to the case
>>287726162Oh shit and Genta touched it!Nothing we can do about it, we need to put him down before the marajiwana needles spread to his brainstem, it's the kind thing to do.
>>287729888>>287731101For once it ended up being a pretty fun twist to the three suspects routine
>>287734735EhIt was so obviously set up that the punk isn't the culprit because of how obviously he's supposed to look like a drug dealer that I think if he was actually the culprit it would have been more unexpectedI mean he "was" the culprit technically, but you know what I mean
>>287726162https://youtu.be/AtyvT_TXu9g?is=os2eXiR7Vomwg4K7
>>287734781Plus, if he knows Kazuha from before, then he would know her dad is very high ranked police official and would have called off the deal sooner than have her carried off by thugs.
>>287734434Yeah, could you imagine if he was infected by marowana?He might become lazy, hungry, slow-witted, forgetful...
i just learned eel is supposed to be invigorating food in japan. this mean genta is fated to be your classic ntr fat bastard, so i guess this also makes mitsuhiko a fated to be cuck and ayumi a closed slut.
>>287736040Once Genta turns 18, he will sooner become a target of many potential killers than anything else.Mitsuhiko will probably hang himself after the adult world crushes his soft persona.Ayumi will join the police, but really just in hopes to marry some genius investigator.
>>287736149>some genius investigator...who looks suspiciously similar to Conan.
>>287736149>Once Genta turns 18, he will sooner become a target of many potential killers than anything else.>Detective Boys Reunion at a hot springs, and one of them commits suicide during the fireworks...
>>287736638You mean Shinichi? I don't think they'll let her marry a shota.
>>287733482I skimmed through this post as well. I just don't care.
>>287736864>the solution includes everyone being the killer in similar style to Murder on Orient Express
Reading
Anon is reading
Is doc Agasa is the most pure hearted character in the series? I can’t think of any moment of him being an asshole or rude(at least intentionally)
>>287740479Someone hasn't read Hanzawa the culprit
>>287740479He is the type that kept child-like innocence deep into his adulthood, which is shown in his choice of career and his inability to stand up to his bullies, Conan and Ai.
>>287736876Maybe I should've put more thought into that post. The question really is whether he'd turn back by then. I decided to go with the idea of Conan growing up together with the Junior Detective League, because, while unlikely, it is a nice thought for the kids to not lose their friend. Really, I should have specified "a grown-up Conan", since that was what I had in mind: The young detectives growing up together, and adult Ayumi pining after someone who reminds her of Conan, as he now is as an adult. Of course, an adult Ayumi grooming a Conan-like shota also sounds appealing.
>>287726162DUUUUUUUUUDE!
>>287726195Ai! What does the scouter say about his deduction level!?
>>287736864Impossible. The Detective Boys are a group of 5. There would be 4 suspects.
>>287743997But it actually needs a group of 5, one person dies in the past, one person dies in the present as victim of revenge for the death of the other person.That leaves 3 suspects.Also, there were cases with more suspects than 3. The case with doctors in a mountain cabin had 4 suspects. So did the one with school teachers in a mountain cabin. And the one with competent Kogoro and his old school friends.
>>287744340That depends on the type of case.Obvious-asshole-gets-killed requires a group of 4.Seemingly-nice-person-gets-killed-for-being-responsible-for-death-in-the-past requires a group of 5.I assume that Genta's murder would be the former, because he's an asshole.
>>287726386>Four pounds of drugjuana you can easily carry in a bag>120000$>A yearly salary minus medical expenses because work is killing meGosho, you were supposed to teach me that crime doesn't pay :(
>>287726650This is possibly the second time in 70 volumes Heiji cares more about Kazuha than his Shinichi or some case.
>>287745778He's finally growing up and discovering girls.
>>287726685>>287727512It means there's chances of rain on 50% of the territory involved
>>287745805Okay and what's the chance`, smarty pants?
>>287746316!00%. On 50% of the territory. ;)

>>287749765LAST YEAR!?
>>287750135Oh, fuck off.
>>287750287Reminder that because this was a flashback case, this case where everyone has a smartphone with video capability takes place before the cases where most people didn't have cell phones and the ones who did had flip phones.
>>287750319>>287750325Honestly, this alone was a sufficient deduction. If someone is evil enough to film vertically, they're evil enough to commit murder.
>>287749750I love Aigasa.
>>287750076>which is made up mainly of ironNo it's not, shut up, Jimmychi. Pic related isn't even the whole protein.
>>287750362>that's why I released him from LIFEBrutal
>>287750160>case from the past>everyone has smartphones
>>287750445Thanks OPJimmychi really felt like BBC Sherlock this case
>>287726608now use your heat action and throw him off the bridge
>>287752657>>287753113>>287754278Time is convoluted in Beika.
>>287749848
>>287750135>Marijuana last chapterShinichi is 100% on cocaine in this one, like Holmes >>287750093 that's why his deductions are in overdrive.
>>287749750I hope at the end(lol) of the series Ai continues to stay with Agasa because their goofy family dynamic is too wholesome to give up
>>287749948bring back natsukiOL detective cosplaying as JK is just something else, man
>>287749962>alcohol codenames have the same rankOh, so the boss doesn't have alcohol codename
>>287750020Hey, someone that I actually recognize for once
>>287750135His smelling is on overdrive holy shit
>>287749880Oh shit she's crying. This was before Beika's corruptive influence seeped in and she had human compassion.
>>287750371>maybe you shouldn't stage your parents' romantic reunion at a murder siteWell, that's quite a conundrum, JimmyBecause the whole Beika is a fucking murder site
>>287750407OhThat's chapter 1Oof
>>287750407>seque into Chapter OneNeat
>>287750445Thanks OPWe're approaching chapter 900 fast, huhI hope we get something substantial like the bell tree express
>>287756145It's really funny when you remember how Jimmichi had to solve a murder at the same restaurant his dad solved a murder before proposing to his mom. And how previous attempts to get Kogoro and Eri together ended up with them being murder suspects. It's literally impossible to separate romance from murder, if anything murder site might bring them more luck.
>>287749935>Anme removed Akemi's death so I was gonna wait till it ends so they don't look bad
>>287756306Yeah, they were quite pessimistic and didn't think DC will get more than one season of anime and one movie. Guess Gosho thought the same.
>>287750362It kind of shocks me that not only is this in a (relatively) recent chapter of Conan, but that Viz would just straight up call it "revenge porn."You know, for kids.
>>287749948Crazy that Natsuki was so popular from just one case that it led to Gosho creating what seems to be one of the most hated girls in the manga as a replacement.
>>287756569The series doesn't have that many girls at the forefront, so I gather it's actually easy to become a target of hate, though I think she was cursed most by being Akai's sister, so for most part her involvement was just to throw hints that took forever to get anywhere.
>>287749861His murder radar is tingling
>>287749987Thank you, Gosho. Very informative.
>>287749948>But she turned out to be the murdererp-parole...
>>287756879Itakura's software and true purpose of aptx are still up in the air, but Sera's brothers and another victim of aptx will be revealed soon. (laughs)
>Conan>Vermount>Ai>Sera's momWhy the fuck except Shinichi, the rest are female
>>287749820
>>287756145 Honestly at this point a non-murder location in Beika would be more suspicious. If Kogoro and Eri tried to reconcile at a normal café with zero corpses, Conan would start sweating because *that’s* when you know something’s wrong. Romance in this series runs on bloodstains and alibis. Might as well lean into it and book the crime scene in advance for the anniversary dinner.
>>287757093There can be only one genius shota.BO boss might be initial victim of proto-aptx, since he is supposed to be over 140 years old. Tsutomu Akai's body was never found, so who knows, he might be too.
When you think about it, for all their connections to crime solving, we never had a murder case inside Kudo mansion...
>>287749962>akai is even better thoughbut OF COURSE
>>287750407Yeah what are the chances, gee
>>287757855Not just murder, but that it's just the day BO has their transaction and check out the place while riding the same car as Shinichi. It was like a yokai latched onto him on the way and cursed him.
My copy of The Complete color works 1994-2025 just arrived, it's a real treasure.
>>287750020One of the best KyoAni shows.
>>287759749I barely got through episode 1, the girl is beyond annoying, and the whole thing generally did a very poor job selling the mystery aspect to me. Curiously, Shoushimin was much better, while being from the same author, so maybe KyoAni is the one that ruined it.
>>287757568Probably mostly because the Kudo's themselves aren't really attached to that house. We've had cases connected to Jimmychi's parents, but since they've abandonded their only son, they don't really have much to do with their mansion anyway.
>>287750371I had to check the Korn translation to understand what he was getting at in the first three panels.
>>287760946When I think about it, Yukiko still being popular in movie/tv circles would make more sense if every now and then she held some party to renew connections. We know Yusaku attends parties as a famous novelist, but she seems to just do some essay every now and then and somehow still remains famous in what is a very competitive industry.
>>287761772Maybe Viz translator thought not everyone would be familiar with wool gloves modified for smartphone use, even if the target audience is generation that should know it the best.
How come Sonoko never noticed Kid looks like Shinichi, despite being such a fan and once even standing very close? Or is her brain just protecting itself from breaking down completely in horror?
>>287759840It gets better.
>>287750445Thank you for posting.
>>287749731>>287749739>>287749750I love Ai.
>>287759184Nice!
>>287749765Last year...
>>287759184I already saw those picture in another illustration, I'm 100% sure of that. Maybe the Conan wiki?I't's easy to notice that Because that's the only pic of GIn without a hat
>>287766412It's a compilation of all color pages and other illustrations through the years, so it's entirely possible this too was available from another source. It's still nice to have it all in one place, with hardcover.
>>287749800Nice interaction, and at the same time one rare instances of Sonoko interacting with Shinchi. Actually, excluding Ran, this is the SECOND time in the whole series where Shinichi is proven to have interacted with a same-aged person in the series.The first one is a football classmate that never shows up. Sonoko truly is the glue factor of the series.
>>287749812>>287749820>>287749828>>287749839>>287749848Shinichi = King Autism
>>287750135Fucking dog.
>>287749919>Ashita no Joe...fuck, it actually makes sense.
>>287749935>Kogoro was the character he spent less time with, yet he's iconic as fuckIt all comes down to personality and character wirting. Kogoro doesn't fall in the "competent" character tier unless he's strictly required to, that's why he's more memorable.>Mitsuhiko has a siterWhat?!?>Ayumi's condoI remember her condo being very distinctive, design wise. No other condo had been that high, but I'd not guessed it was based on some irl place.
>>287756569I'm going to be 100% real: Gosho's only problem is that when he wants the reader to like someone, he goes full tryhard mode and it sounds incredibly forced. THe only time it worked was with Ai, and only because she was planned from the get go. When Gosho has to improvise on a week-to-week basis, he's good only with tertiary characters.By herself, Sera isn't THAT bad. The problem is that we're supposed to like her, and so Gosho crams her up wherever and whenever, adding unnecessary quirks because she's supposed to be cool.
>>287750093>DIfferent kinds of smug, but same levels of smugGosho keeps being a legend in character design
>>287768627>Gosho's only problemYou dont actualy believe that?
Shinichi is kind of an asshole, isn’t he? No wonder, no one misses him besides Ran.
>>287769204Yeah wonder why Ran likes him same with the Kaito kid GF
>>287768473>>Mitsuhiko has a sisterWe've seen her already, the case where he was chasing fireflies or something like that
>>287769684How could anyone forget about a cutie like her?

I haven't been able to read for a couple of days, but I watched movie 16 (The Eleventh Striker) on Sunday. I didn't really like it despite enjoying both watching and playing football.
>>287749718Is this the famous case that got remaked recently? Should I watch the episode and then read the case?
>>287771238Ai is only cute with Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Agasa
>>287771344>>287771357What a fucking loser. Maybe it's too much because of the culture of the country I'm from but I don't respect anyone who can't swim. Now that I think about it, I don't think I know ANYONE who doesn't know to swim.
>>287771432Lots of shots featuring the Skytree, or in the Conan universe, the Bell Tree Tower
>>287771262Speak of the devil, I think this Sanada guy was introduced first in the movie, right?
>>287774973I learned how to swim back when I was a tween, but I haven't done it ever since, so I'm not sure how well I could do it these days. Where does that fall?
>>287771308I can already tell who's the victim in this case
>>287771639thanks op.
>>287771497Wait, I'm confused. Why does Conan think one of the suspects has his phone?
>>287771533
>>287771639Ai is easy to manipulate like everyone follows the trend>>287771648Thanks OP
>>287776596It could be anyone stole the phone but suspect has the higher chance to hide it, and he's baiting at this point
>>287771298>>287771308>4 people present>mentioning another person in the hospital from attempted suicideI'm actually a little angry that someone pointed out all of the patterns
>>287771272His mother's genes were really strong that day.
>>287771549Genta you fucking useless fat retard
>>287778278At least he remembers on what number to call police, even though it's hard not to remember after they probably dialed it about 100 times that month.
>>287775995You still learned at one point, so I assume you wouldn't immediately drown when thrown into a mass of water. But I have to ask, why not? Are there no public pools around you? Swimming is the best exercise possible
>>287771344>Falls into the river>Can't swim>Gets several people to save him>DiesAnd the writing for the shittiest murder plan goes to...
>>287779641He didn't die, and has regained consciousness. Which is kind of better, the woman that attempted suicide didn't die either, but would probably finish the job if a friend is about to be either hanged or face many years in prison for her sake. This way the cheater at least felt the horror of almost dying.
>>287779687Kinda proves the point of how bad of a plan it was.
>>287777364I mean, that's a givenLiterally made it that way so that little kid can keep upThis still is manga for kid/teenage
>>287771344>die alreadyWhat the fuckI already read this case, thinking that the guy still survive due to how quick everyone isHow the fuck did he's already dead
>>287779738Didn't say it wasn't, just that more than one person is lucky he is not proper Beika genius criminal. Probably cause it wasn't really his revenge, the wife or the mistress should have just strangled him with kite string.
>>287779770What Conan meant is attempted murder, his shinigami powers were a bit too weak this time.
>>287779501>But I have to ask, why not? Are there no public pools around you?There are, so the fault is really all mine. First of all, I don't have any friends, so I don't have anyone to invite me to go there with them. Also, I generally avoid going outside when I can help it, mostly to avoid coming across other people. That aside, I am rather insecure about my body, even if I'm technically considered thin. Once I've slimmed down to a satisfactory degree (and I truly am growing increasingly close to my goal), I might one day muster the motivation needed to give it a try again.
>>287771221>>287771238Oh no, Ai is listening to boyfriend asmr
>>287771272It's cool seeing Conan show different emottions other than being aloof and smug.
>>287771289Ayumi is precious
>>287771308>>287771298Why is a dysfunctional group like that participating in a kite flying tournament?
>>287771344It doesn't even appear to have a strong currentThis is natural selection, not murder
>>287776596Only the murder would try to hide it, as any other upstanding Japanese citizen would have returned it by now.
>>287771593Cute last panelAi, as usual, seems to genuinely enjoy being around the kids and Agasa. It's mostly the brat Jimmychi that brings out her smug and annoyed side.
>>287780732The really fucked up thing is it's only 3 inches of water
>>287771639Thanks OPWeak case, but we got some cute Ai panels.I wonder if there will ever be a case where she meets her crush?
>>287780701One guy explained it, they both own businesses that need advertising. And the victim didn't expect this will be the worst day in his life.
>>287780905Yes, it will be a fun case not cause of the murder, but cause of the side plot
>>287771262>Deduce it yourself>Not like that!Sore loser.
>>287782525Looking at the answer sheet isn't very sporting
>>287779501nta but as much as I'd enjoy a pool, none of them are close enough to be at a reasonable walking distance.
