Done. There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!

Dont forget to vote https://strawpoll.com/YVyPv4AM4gN
>>288588792>5 personsYay, double homicide!
>>288589809Wonder how a poll with the male characters would turn out.
>>288590064Total Kogoro victory
>>288588903>>288588913>we're obviously part of a sick murder game, let's split upClever
>>288589044My bet is still on the sushi guy. He's impatient so he tagged along Amuro and Kogoro. Let's see how this case turns out
>>288589385Thanks OPRather formulaic and boring case I have to say. But the setting was kind of cool.
>>288589291Glad they didn't go for the "guy falls for retarded bait and goes alone" thing
Gosho seems to be pushing Morofushi a lot lately. Earlier, he was more of a Kansuke sidekick, but nowadays it's pretty much reversed.I don't really care for his edgy quote schtick, but I have to say, I prefer him over Kansuke who is pretty bland and also comes attached with another pointless romance.
>>288588695>>288588702Nice Kogoro moment. He has an intuition when it comes to people.
>>288588738If he's Rum, he might have told Bourbon to conveniently get him on the trip?
>>288588712sick sonoko sexo...
>>288588719Oh look, it's Anon!
>>288588743>No girls allowed trip with the ladsLike heaven.
>>288588922>>288588926I see, he can cheat based on the corners of the papers. Lets him pick the middle one whenever, that being Wada in the restroom
>>288589001lemme guess>since drawing a crossbow requires a lot of strength, the lady couldn't possibly do ityeah nah who the fuck are you kidding, the lady 100% did it
>>288589001kek what kind of question is that? of course the crossbow was taking a shit, dude.
>>288589191Morofushi went several pages thinking about something and not a single quote came to mind.Also feels like this puts more weight on Kuroda being related to Zero etc. rather than the organization.After the reveal that Karasuma is the boss with his name having "Crow" in it (Both for the crow-black org and the song that's his phone number, which is about crows), one might notice the "Black" in Kuroda too.
>>288589345>>288589351>committing murders out of self-righteousness>it was misguided all along and the murdered people were actually innocentThat was just sad and embarrassing
>>288589034conanbros, we're now sidekicks...
>>288589327This is a bit forced, because he doesn't need to know tricks to identify marked cards, he would make that argument anyways so his form of lottery gets through. (Also it's not like the average Beika murderer doesn't do this shit constantly anyways)Again, good showing for Kogoro though.
>>288589336I can't think of any cases where someone tried this brazenly to frame someone.Usually they don't even care who'd take the fall, but here he tried to pretend he was getting forced to drink poison.Ridiculous.Also the case was shit.
>>288588702Lmao this feels so random
>>288588719Dude, you could invite your wife
>>288592748what's this game like
>>288589361i feel every case lately ends up with: actually we were good guys and you misunderstood.
>>288589385thanks op.
>>288592166You could also draw a more direct connection to James Black.
>>288592860James Black was even more of straight shot with zero subtlety.And (presumably) an intentional mislead. (Unless?)
>>288588992Funnyroo!
>>288593128At the time it must've been an intentional mislead. Nowadays it seems like a surname that relates to the color black is a sign the individual is a boss within a secretive organization in the case he's a recurring character. That would have some interesting implications for Toichi Kuroba if intentional.
>>288589044Newtype sound plays in the first panel
>>288589083Why even make pairs? Why not make trios? And why did they even let people go on their own? Do they just wish to die?
>>288590064I would vote for Heiji, Kogoro, Shinichi (but not Conan) and Shuichi
>>288592748Of course there's a fucking Defective Conan card game. Nips love to spend money.
>>288590714The smartest (not-so) future victim.
>>288589053>almost out of water>in a blizzardmelt snow?just fill the bottles part way with snow and leave them near the firethe real danger is running out of material to keep the fire going
>>288588817This is like what, the third time Kogoro destroyed his rental car? He should be in blacklist by now
>>288588858>took taxioh nvm, no rental car was destroyed today
>>288593397I guess Shiratori (white bird) can be freely taken off suspects list.Corbeau in the name of the dark Kaito is french for crow, and he is shown with crows in opposition to Kaito Kid's white doves (like the cold medicine), so it sure looks like Gosho is cooking something there.
>>288588913>suits ranking is spades, hearts, diamonds, then clubsbut its supposed to be spades hearts clubs then diamonds...
>>288588913>>288588922>discredit amuro method>proposed his own>also the one drawingtotally not suspicious
>>288589385He actually said "Time is money", which is Rum's favorite quote (Toki wa kane nari).
>>288588926>8 people>9 paperswhat happened to the leftoverand did they really let conan, a fucking kid, search alone? in the middle of a snowstorm in a dilapidated church?the beikan boys prolly knew conan can be left to his own device, but the other four are fucking cold as fuck
>>288590166Not a single man died (yet), and this isn't beika
>>288589263>killer running around>prime suspect locking himself out>secretly message you to come to an isolated place aloneyou'd be a dumdum to accept this
>>288592758Only Ran ever thinks of inviting Eri, but only if she herself will be there as mediator, or murder would be the least of their troubles.
>>288589327so, uh, did they really play with marked cards before
>>288588823I love cases where they are isolated and at mercy of the killer.
>>288589385Thanks OPThis chapter feels like filler with the murderer being extra dumb for some reasonAmuro also surprisingly subdued the whole case, he'd usually noticed the guy rigging the lots at the very leastHeck, with Rum suspect going around, I kinda expect there'd be more tension, but eh, they somehow made Conan asking Bourbon about Rum all casual like thatIt feels like we didn't even hear BO bgm the whole case
>>288590295I think Asaca is suspicious as fuck, but somehow that sushi guy is more suspicious than herWhile Kuroda doesn't look like Rum AT ALL, despite the not so red herring few episodes before
>>288589064I bet it's this motherfucker, he's so obsess with the minigame
>>288596384It's a mystery they manage to get into university with that intelligence
>>288595582They mentioned he is a clean freak. If he isn't ready to risk local water to the point he brought a bunch of his own bottled water, then snow gathered outside wouldn't look much safer either.
>>288592236I can't remember how many times the same shit happened in this mangaTalk nigga, TALK
>>288590681It's the church and blizzardI forgot almost everything about this case, but I always remember the start of it
>>288596517Kuroda looks too much like a villain right from the start to actually be one, and since Amuro is a double agent, with two organizations to handle, if Kuroda isn't Rum, then he is from PSB (or NPA SB?). Would also explain how he can get transfers to high ranks so fast.
>>288596708I work at university (not as professor, though), getting in has very little to do with actual intelligence. It only really shows later, in how fast they graduate, if they graduate at all.
>>288596511You're right in both ways. Other times it feels the murders were more unavoidable, this time Yamato was 100% right on complaining to Kogoro about letting the murders happen.
>>288597969In defense of Kogoro's reputation, he was fully awake the whole time, and his wife wasn't around to make him motivated.Yamato should know by now there is no hope when shinigami enters the scene. The kid can make even the simplest case escalate into murder.
>>288590064Conan would dominate, cause from what I see there are more shotacons here than appreciators of adult males. Whoever makes it would also spend a lot of time trying to list all the choices. Girls poll is missing Azusa, so it's clearly a tough task to remember all.I'd vote Komei.
>>288590739Yamato is really just adult Heiji, and is also limited by his bad leg, so past Woodpecker case there is really nothing for him but to finally figure out Yui (Kazuha) has major hots for him. Anything else would feel like repeat.Komei is much more free (and more popular with ladies), so the brother subplot opens up opportunities for him, but for whatever reason he is still to this day attending murder cases as Yamato's shadow, instead of solo. Makes it look like they only ever have murders when Conan is around, so all three jump on the opportunity.
>>288596261I was thinking about that.As usual, Viz fails to be consistent with things that matter.
>>288589301first time I solved a mystery myself!
>>288592860>name made to be similar to James Bond>but Conan just had to point out it's similar to James MoriartyThe most suspicious thing is that he seems to have more than two brain cells, despite being FBI.
>>288588858https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5Hz17C4is
>>288588922This guy is so obviously suspicious I would be more shocked if it was him
Would anyone else like Amuro more if he was an actual antagonist? Him being a good guy kinda ruins him for me. I don’t care for his gay drama with Akai when they’re essentially on the same side. Lel, I remember when it seemed like Akai and Gin had a rivalry.
>>288603326It wasn't his alliance that ruined the character for me, it's that he is a bit overused and made a little too perfect as an obvious fujobait. I guess someone that only reads main manga wouldn't notice it so much, but he has been present in movies to the point where people have actually started to complaint no movie can be made without Amuro having scenes in it. And that spin off with his police buddies has actually seeped into main plot with a very stupid flashback case.
>>288603326I feel the same. To me, he was actually kind of cool when he had moments like in the hospital or the Kobayashi case, where he appeared threatening to Conan. But his role as Bourbon was trivialized way too quickly, nosing around with Conan as buddies like he's doing now. The whole Akai rivalry doesn't work especially because of this, he just doesn't feel like a villain at all.
>>288589385Thank you for posting.
>>288588702If he's Rum, that's a potential double entendre.And if that's the case, it would explain why>>288589373>>288589385Moustache doesn't greet his buddy. Because being the smart dude he is, he figured out that his buddy gave him hints about his brother's death without even going back to greet him or something, meaning the investigation is still going in full force.Damn, I should have started doing this for every Rum candidate from the get go, in particular when the three suspects interact/get to know about each other, like Captain Crispy noticing the teacher (aka the two have some past, meanwhile Toothy/Coach Danpei seems not having any bond with the others insofar)
>>288588922>Mfw it's going to backfire
>>288590681No Sera is always a plus
>Mori got 2 people killed due to negligence and no one caresCant even joke about this stuff anymore. The case where Conan criticized Heiji for caring more about being right over the life of a person and justice feels like it happened in another universe
the chef guy being in this case and doing literally nothing in it makes him incredibly suspicious tbqh
>>288605853To be fair, Mori isn't police anymore, and has no resonsibility whatsoever to keep anyone safe. All the people beside Conan are adults and capable of making their own choices, it's not like Kogoro has any right to tie them to a pole or something.In other words: Cripple fears the judoka's osoto gari.
where the FUCK is OP
Case 297: Edible Wild Plants Collecting File 1032: Wild Vegetables
File 1033: Lucky Charm
>>288607425That's japanese sumac Mitsuhiko is reaching for if anyone was curious
>>288607479My fucking hero Yamamura's instincts are as sharp as ever
File 1034: Kind of a Klutz
>>288607418>taking the photo in front of the car instead of the sceneryThis will be relevant.
Done. Not cool.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>288607425It seems out of character for Mitsuhiko to reach for a poisonous plant. That's exactly the kind of knowledge a nerdy kid should have (as opposed to knowing the Japanese traffic law catalogue by heart)
>>288607479Unironically factually undeniably best inspector
>>288607513Except the three psychopaths literally did smell it just a few moments ago.
>>288607556>tragic past revealed through flashbacksThis seals it, she can't be a bad guy. Rum is one of the other two.
>>288588702such a suspicious group to go on a trip with.
>>288607747edgy
are we really not going to follow up on the cliffhanger with amuro/akai and shinichi's parentsit's been multiple cases since then
>>288607595>not glazing the bratAdd this to the list why he's the best inspector
>>288607713Why would that be a weird place to get mud on? She only has to reach under the car with one arm for it to get dirty.
>>288607747>she throws away the clover, she HAS to be evil!!I'm not buying it, Gosho.Thanks OP
>>288607392gotta go through this manga again and count all the yawns
>>288607493cuties
>>288608216Yes
>>288607387Damn, cool start of the case
>>288607747what did she mean by this
>>288607747serves ayumi right, the rest of the group had her back for months and she's trying to kiss ass
>>288607486Fuck them kids
alright I got here about a week ago and I've been meaning to ask, why do the translations still use the ancient japanifornia dub names for the older characters? if they were still trying to do that for every character I honestly wouldn't even question it but the fact that they clearly dropped the act at some point but just didn't retcon the names for kogoro or ran or the kids is really throwing me for a loop.My only guess is that it's a courtesy for people that grew up on the dub (like me, admittedly) but it's just so jarring.
>>288607595My hero Yamamura is so based that he also hits Conan like my other hero, Kogoro
>>288608728There's no reason, Viz is just retarded. They probably feel like they missed the point where they could retcon them to the originals and now don't dare to do so.
Yet another case where I'm sure it would have been easier and safer to just dispose of the body than trying to concoct a flimsy alibi (not for the series, but it is for real law) where a lot of things can go wrong.
>>288608728i have no idea, it seems crazy they didn't just soft change it to japanese names only back at like volume 30. remember being a kid and guessing with friends about how they'd mangle haibara's name back when vol 18 and the 3rd movie were getting released.
>>288608728There was a funny instance a couple cases ago where there was a wordplay with "Shinichi" and they had to add a TL note that said something like>TN: Jimmy's name in the original release is Shinichi
>>288607552mfw mom buys the wrong cereal
>>288607493if you pop shiho's cherry and she turns back into ai does it heal?
>>288607447>I can feel it!>THE SMELL OF A CASE!!!!
>>288607468Case SAVED!
>>288607479better than yusaku
>>288608973Chortled pretty good at this one.
>>288607479>>288607486As expected from Kogoro's TRUE disciple.
>>288607387Colombo case? Colombo case
>>288607407>blocking the rear windshieldOh no, the grafitti (wo)man gonna get you
>>288607479sasuga yamamura the monster hunterhe actually can sniff out the real monster if the case doesnt involve monster
>>288607499>the left tree looks kinda different in the photohmmm
>>288607527>tears dried up and changed to complainskek
>>288607735uh oh she never said it to shiratori...>>288607747thanks op.
is there a site to watch the Conan movies?
>>288607686do you really need to push the tire like that instead of just pushing the car normally
>>288607713>moving the tire while searching for earring damn, thats sneaky
>>288607747but why thothanks OP
>>288609543I download them from Nyaa, but I can never remember what's the name of the group with good subtitles. I think the Ah Le Le ones are mediocre.
>>288609664did you miss the flashback? the one where her boyfriend (the shogi guy connected to rum) trusted a lucky charm to protect him.
>>288609622I think it's more that Ayumi would have noticed if she did it that way.
>Amuro>Wakita>Both are self-declaring Kogoro's disciple>Both are BO>Yamamura>Self-declaring Kogoro's disciple>Live the same place BO's bossHumm.....
So are we getting a dedicated Kuroda case next? We've had Sushi Guy and Psycho Teacher back to back.
>>288607479Gunma GOD
>>288589809Why is Heiji's mom such a flop? Do you guys even think of her as "hot" in the first place? Well, I don't.
>>288607479Why are y'all pretending to like Yamamura now? I remember y'all said he's an annoying and unfunny li'l shit.
>y'allclassic yamamura hater
>>288611270Same reason people rated Ryuki vs Naidan highly.It's because everything and everyone else has gone to shit.
>>288607400It seems that every teacher that gets married just quits her job. I wonder if this is really a thing in Japan or is Gosho really old-fashioned?
>>288611270He's always had a few fans.
>>288611186I don't see Heiji's mom in the poll. Did you mean someone else's mom, or Heiji's girlfriend?
>>288611740Girlfriend, mom, it's all the same.
>>288612000Heiji's fancy mom is superior to his stalker girlfriend, though. I wouldn't mind seeing her kendo skills in action again.
>>288611270Absence makes the heart grow fonderafter what feels like dozens of cases blatantly shilling Sera and the revolving door of fuckboys its nice to have a character who isn't them
>>288607713>>288607725>chapter literally has a slut in a lingerie being drugged and shoved into the closet>no one said anythingi guess the rumors are true that the majority of conan readers are either gay or women
>>288608728It's been more than 20 years and it's too late to change (at least that's what they think)
>>288608855Hey man, have you ever tried to dig a hole? It's really hardAnd you probably need to bury him like a foot deep so dogs can't catch the scent , maybe more
>>288613519Even without dogs someone foraging for veggies would notice there's been some fresh digging done at certain spot. And it's not like she would avoid being questioned by police, and possibly have her car be seen close to where the victim lived or was last seen, they have to investigate a disappearance.
>>288607407>Genta>mature
>>288609763>granny Yamamura has the same postal code as the boss>Renya can also be a woman's nameOn subject of name Renya, it's interesting that it's written with kanji for "lotus", which is a symbol of purity but also rebirth, and kanji that seems to mean "question mark", but is also found in "father" and "Jesus Christ"
>>288607513>How'd you know that?>Offers a Conan excuse instead of just saying she's an adult/teacher
>>288614002To be fair, she is teaching first year elementary school, would you feel safe having kids around someone with such precise knowledge of corpse smell?
>>288609664>>288609698Also the murderer just mentioned that she can't take it because she did something bad.It's like symbolism, it rings.
>>288607704This is such a shit plan. You're gonna bring in 5 kids and just assume they won't notice the body. The first thing the kids would do after a long drive is run around, probably around the car.
>>288608728It's a consistency thing, except when they don't do it consistently, but some people also believe that it's a marketing mandate from Japan, because surely American kids know these characters by these names.The names of course just trace back to the anime dub, which ended at some point so only characters that got names there are inflicted with this curse.
>>288609698this page >>288607556 mention nothing about lucky charm...
>>288614761yeah but she does the page before, the shogi tile was his lucky charm or something the like, it doesnt take a genius.
>>288611186I think of her as cute. Cutezuha. Also I don't think we've ever seen her in a bikini or revealing outfits, while we've seen Ran, Sonoko, Sera, Eri and I think even Yukiko in that way.
>>288615202
>>288607747I'm sure this looked cool when they animated it
>>288615300Heiji's kinda gay for not hitting that
>>288615806>kinda gayI think pretty much everyone agrees Heiji will scream out Kudo when he finally does have sex.
>>288615300Sexzuha
>>288608404It's because she's working all nights for the aptx cure :) I love it when GOsho shows instead of telling
Kazuha is by far the worst girl
>>288607387Some anons complain about the lack of messy and bloody murders compared to the old cases but I think it's fine as it is because it still shocks you a little when something like this happens, which is important for a series with so many murders. If we got fountains of blood every other case we'd just grow numb.
>>288607479Welp
>>288619861Out hero is washed. And so is Conan.
>>288619478It's still nowhere near as gruesome as in early Conan, but there's noticeably more blood and gore again. I was complaining mainly about the cases some months ago, where there was barely any blood at all and also less buildup to shocking body panels in general. Now it's mostly at a pretty decent middle ground I'd say.However, it's not only the amount of blood itself but the artstyle in general. I can't really describe it that well, but I think the faces were a lot more expressive earlier. The eyes used to be a little smaller in general, which made the contrast to the wide and shocked expressions of the bodies stand out more. For a time, the dead guys had their eyes closed, too, which is boring.
While not reaching the heights of the Vermouth and Ai arc so far this Rum arc is way better than the Bourbon arc and even more than the Kir one
>>288619861>including the fat guy from a few cases agokekWe have to give it to Jimmychi though, the dude was lucky to find the bug toy on the floor.
Wild that despite all the supernatural cases we’ve gotten, the creepiest panel came from when the junior detective league was exploring the library at school at night and the guy came up behind from the elevator
>>288607647why's conan shooting him in plain sight? ffa
>>288615300damn, kaito kid looks like THAT?!
>>288619977It's definitely up there, I agree. One of the rare truly evil bad guys, too. Drug smuggler willing to club 4 innocent kids to death.
>>288588671Neat.Thanks for storytiming these, anon.
>>288621447This works so well because of the angle, it shows that Conan is truly a weak little kid, helpless if not for Agasa's inventions. He used to get into these dangerous situations way more often, nowadays the culprits either turn out innocent/mislead or get beaten up by someone else.
>>288621542Wish we saw Conan get into brawls and try to physically outsmart opponents with his gadgets. He doesn’t really suffer from limitations as a kid anymore. Of course some of its natural since he’s been part of countless cases and everyone can see it’s a strange and weirdly smart kid. Intellectually, he doesn’t face as many limitations as before but Gosho abandoned putting him in situations where he gets bruised up or his kid body fails him due to being weak
>>288619901>the artstyle in generalThe switch to digital was the beginning of the decline. Not blaming Gosho & assistants because it was bound to happen due to age, but digital changed some things like shadings - and consequently the black/white dynamics.The best horror, purely drawings wise, is built on black and white contrast.Night panels are the most impacted: since the switch Gosho stopped drawing the moon by hand, and clouds are done with shadings. Before that panels were way more stark.
>>288611270We don't, but when compared to Sera, they're both bad in different ways
>>288607392>>288607400I love Ai.
how close are you guys to the end? I need to see if I can catch up
>>288623281Don't take my word for it, but I think that around 40 days (128 chapters left, take like 3.2 chapters per case).But I would just recommend to not rush it if you're really behind, or maybe just read the plot relevant chapters. Otherwise maybe you'll get a bit fed up, I know I do when I have to catch up after not being able to read for severan days.
>>288623281We're at case 297 of 334 so >>288623456 isn't far off with 40 days.You can see we've been at this for a while now, so catching up isn't really an easy thing to do. The plot fits on a teaspoon though, so it's really about the journey.
>>288623749how many cases were released since we started this?
>>288623840A whopping two (2) volumes, so adding the cases that aren't released in volume format yet, nine total. Yes, Gosho is that slow.

>>288624830what a stupid cliff hanger
>>288625085It is Sera after all.
Done. Cases have been getting longer lately. Most have been 4 chapters or more for a while. also luv seraThere is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>288624830Sera's body dismorphia is getting worse
>>288624924sera's womanly ASSets...
Remember Kir?Remember her brother Eisuke?Remember her 300+ arc?
>>288624979>>288624992>one chimps out and starts attacking for no reason>other one teleports behind you and acts smugPlease, I can't take these two at once. It's too much, Gosho...
>>288625240I was gonna say about the 4 chapter thing, it's because they have to put in "progression" into them, but instead of making that into a standalone chapter it's intertwined into these cases and honestly, I think the cases suck for that. They're super simple because they're an afterthought.
>>288624992What? So far every main female character that we've seen in a swimsuit mog her. Like, I'm not even exaggerating, you can check here >>288615300
>>288625193How old you need to be to drive a motorcycle in japan?
>>288625153>I never meant to kill himSir, you came out of your hiding spot and stabbed him through the chest to finish the job.
>>288625432superior japanese breasts, please understand
>>288625134 I don't get it, couldn't he just have overheard it here? >>288624971
>>288625240Thanks OPI feel like Gosho has an intelligence agency checklist. What's next, a KGB agent?
>>288625227I thought that play of words was weird when they first mentioned it but the explanation is even weirder. It probably works better in Japanese.
>>288625240I hate Sera.I kinda liked her at first, but the more she and her family get shoved down my throat, the less I want to see them.I want the BO to whack her for getting too close to figuring out the APTX situation.
I'm going to be honest, I didn't understand shit about the flipping of the trays reasoning. I didn't like the case in general outside of seeing Subaru interact with Sera, who was annoying.Apparently we're getting another case with titty monster tomorrow, so I should really get started on catching up with the movies and her introduction.
>>288625586KGB will be Amuro's father
>>288624924it was 9/11 Sera
>>288624992>HE IS FAST
>>288625227oh ffs
>>288625134Conan, this time with both Sera and Akai here, you could shut the fuck up to not blow your and Ai's cover
>>288625240Thanks OPI dont hate Sera, flat is justice after all, but she's kinda grating recentlyIt feels like she approach things more smartly back when she was searching for AkaiOr maybe it only feels like that because she was Bourbon suspect back then
>>288625227wasn't it translated way different in viz's version? >>288625211>No Conan, don't tell me anything. I'm sure I will eventually be in another case with her and it will be relevant for another volume at least>>288625443You can get a license at 16 if any delinquent manga is to be trusted (but I think there is a limit in how much powerful the engine can be)
>>288626039I can confirm that 16 is the age of motorcycle license for small and medium bikes
>>288625996I think she's getting sloppy as she gets closer to her goal. I don't mind it, though.
>>288624435cute ai
>>288624527>>288624542old ai would have told her to fuck off.
>>288624783lol sera is a retard which is hardly some news
>>288624992those are not whoa, even chiba's are bigger.
I can't decide which has been a bigger cancer on the series the Akai family or Rei's police academy squad
Vermouth WILL fuck Ran
>>288625432
>>288625240thanks op.
this new sera dynamic is pretty obnoxious, really hope this isn't the status quo now and they just clear the air and collab
>>288624542Does Conan know Akai is Sera's brother?
>>288624992the anatomy in the first panel looks wrong but I'm not that knowledgeable on martial arts so maybe its fine?
>>288626201It's not just the sloppiness, but the fact that her sloppiness is screwing other people over in a dangerous situation.She knows enough to pretend that her mom is her little sister for her safety, but she sticks her nose in Conan and Ai's business and calls them out on their weird behavior in front of everyone and makes them look suspicious.Could she really not just pull Conan aside and whisper to him that her mom also got turned into a child? I think that Conan would quickly consider her an ally and confidant instead of a nuisance if she did that.
>>288628289Yes
>>288611270He crossed the threshold of "so bad he's good". Come on, tell me you didn't smile when he nailed the deduction right away, even if he is a retard.
>>288625586KGB agent is most definitely Vodka.
>>288625996Hanging out with Ran and Sonoko left consequences. Joke aside, ever since her mother was introduced, Sera has been falling more and more into dumb kid role, so mom can be the cunning strategist in the team. Though I must point out, not trusting Conan with their secret was mom's idea, Sera is just getting too eager to be done with the testing phase already.
Gosho is building up pressure for the biggest catharsis when Sera kisses Conan
>>288624937Shukichi was a cute little boy.
>>288627056It's funny how those dead cops are getting more focus in the series than some of the still living characters, I can't tell what is even the point of some stuff, like Matsuda's crush on Chihaya, if we all know it will be cut short.
>>288624415>>288624435>>288624453I love Ai.
>>288624561Sera is extremely annoying in this case
>>288629792It's cause of Akai, the closer she is to her brother, the more her annoying little sister instinct activates.
>>288624761>Went for trip>The next thing they know after come back is their beloved father and husband, is dead
>>288629866They said son and his family, so beloved father and grandfather. They should really start putting "no Conan allowed" signs on their houses, god knows how many lives that would save.
>>288625153>I never meant to kill him>Hit him with a spear with sharp blade on itYeah sure, whatever you say
>>288625543The tray already decided he's the murderer, conan just trying to mock him here
>>288625586CCP's agent?
>>288629866>>288624761>in front of brutally murdered body>staff is in tears>"I don't know how we'll break this to his beloved son and family">pic related is Sera's immediate reaction
>>288630055It's Viz being Viz again, the fan translation gives her a line that just kicks off her musing without making her look like a total asshole.
>>288629909Not even that, he first hit him unconscious and then, after a pause, decided to go back and brutally finish the job. I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that rules out acting in the heat of passion.
>>288625227Just how many intelligence services infiltrated the BO by now?
>>288630190All of them.The question should be, how many intelligence services have the BO infiltrated? We desperately need a BO win for once, to even the scales.
>>288630190>FBI (Akai)>CIA (Kir and previously her dad)>PSB (Scotch) + NPA SB (Amuro)The movie The Darkest Nightmare also has throwaway agents from MI6, Canadian CSIS, and German BND get killed by BO.Though I have to point out, Mary never infiltrated BO, her troubles come from her husband investigating Koji Haneda's murder.
>>288630243Seems BO is more interested in infiltrating smaller restaurants. Though that's not really without logic, Kogoro's proximity aside, restaurants is where agents and politicians meet for shady business and a skillful waiter can easily pick up valuable info from their conversations.
>>288625174Careful Chono, don't talk like that, that's how you end upon the wrong end of some fishing line
>>288624848This one actually has a translation if anyone is interestedUgly fat bastard detective fiction is a good read
>>288628453Why can't Conan put her aside, considering he knows she's Akai's sister, and that he already knows Mary was turned into a child, thus is on the run from the BO. He's supposed to be a genius, he could easily confirm all that on his own.They're both acting like retards for the plot.
man i started the manga around december and i cant break the wall of 200 chapters, its really boring the series most of the time. I despise everysingle time appears richard moore
I'm neither here nor there on the Sera question, but she's the only one that seems to want to get the plot moving, and I can't hate her for that.
>>288630731>I despise everysingle time appears richard mooreYou got extremely filtered.
>>288630943nigga she just wants the meds from conan and ai, how's that gonna move the plot?
>>288630731What about Kogoro Mouri?
>>288631185feared by BO, loved by slutty jk.
Conan and Ai feel like side characters, the akai family drama shit is more interconnected to the BO than those 2. It sucks since Ai’s parents developed the drug but all we get is gay family drama. I finally understand when people say Akai ruined the series
>>288631072Point taken. Maybe I should have said 'a' plot, instead of 'the' plot.Conan revealing his true identity to some more people is long overdue, anyways.
>>288630712Conan is genius for solving puzzles, but it's otherwise quite obvious he is still that blundering teenager from the beginning of the series.I gather that's why his dad has started to pull strings by himself and has drawn agents into some kind of alliance behind closed doors.
>>288631295I'd argue it wasn't so much Akai, as Rei/Amuro. With Ai being related to Akai it could have still been possible for her to get some more significant role in the revenge, taking the place that would have probably been held by her sister had she lived. But with Rei knowing Akemi and being fixated on Elena (according to Gosho, she was his first crush), he essentially pushed her out. There was really no need for this, Rei is already motivated to be the great hero by the deaths of his police friends, it just feels tacked on and another addition to overused practice of everyone knowing everyone from when they were kids.
>>288624453Just call the cops on her. Tell them a man on a bike is stalking kids.
>>288624542Don't give him that frown bitch. No one likes you!
>>288624647Ok, this made me laugh.
>>288630731Sounds like a classic case of very bad taste. Move one and read something else.
>>288631687I agree, the connection between Ai's parents and Amuro is the worst offender. That would have been a great way for Ai to get back some relevance. We know she has tapes by her mother so these could have included valuable leads Conan and her could have followed on, but Gosho refuses to use Ai for anything but comic relief nowadays (the short exception being her transformation before the train case, but ironically, even that ended up being tied to the Amuro plot mostly).
>>288624830Ok, I laughed. But this along with the slip-up with Conan a while back still feel stupid.
>>288624992Nope. You'll stay with negative tits as punishment!
>>288624924Incredibly rare smug Akai
I have a visionRum trying to capture and trying to get his hand on pill that reverse back to before he lose his eyes, so Conan give Mary the antidote pill AND asking Ai to disguise herself as young MaryThat also would explain why Gosho trying to setup where Ai and Young Mary look the same as previous case hint on
>>288624924Don't talk about your sister that way man, even if you are in disguise
>>288625153I refuse to believe this guy isn't lying his ass off right here.Btw he's not as stupid as fanfiction dude, chess programmer or cat dude, but he makes a case for a top 5 entry: my candidate was museum lady because she didn't know the other two people were there. My reasoning was "well there's no way someone would be so stupid to murder the appraiser when there's others like themselves", it singles you out immediately. But then he's sort of excused because it was a crime out of anger....except he came back to finish the dude!|Beyond stupid crime, beyond stupid motif, beyond stupid countermeasures/alibi and beyond stupid results.
>>288625227>MI6>Bond Hotel
>>288635750I don't think there is really a better way to get out of that situation, the remark is both a logical reasoning and surprising enough to stop Sera from asking further.Totally unrelated to the fact this is the man that dated his own cousin.
>>288635966>the man that dated his own cousinHe was undercover!
>>288636029Yes, they probably spent a lot of time under covers.Akemi was a minor member kept only to have Shiho happy and working, he wouldn't really gain anything non-sexual by dating her.
Remind me again how Akemi/Ai are related to the Akai family please. When did we learn about this? It's hard to keep track of all this shit when it's always just two panels of flashback over hundreds of chapters.
>>288636274Akemi and Mary are ̶b̶r̶i̶t̶*̶s̶h̶ sisters
>>288636274>>288636722Elena their mom is her sister. They're also related to Eri, Ran's mom iirc.
>>288636181That Ai is related to Mary was heavily hinted in the department store case, when leftover mascara made her eyes look like Mary's. Both Elena and Mary are blonde women of British nationality, and were close in age.But seems I got teeny tiny bit ahead, the actual confirmation that they are sisters is three cases from now.
>>288636804>spoilerUh, no? Eri's hair color came from the bottle, her natural one is dark brown like Ran's. My theory is that she is related to Midori Nakamori.
>>288636804Fuggg I meant ElenaBtw it's the goblinoid bong genes, I swear. Nipponese ancient genes folded one thousand times fold under aptx pressure so people dieBong genes, being closer to rats, are stronger
>>288636970Then how did Shinichi live? Also, Elena said she is a hapa, so Mary is most likely too, in which case it's the nipponese genes folding one thousand times over the molecule of aptx that saved them.
>>288636873im going insane because i distinctinly remember this being revealed, i've slipped into a reality where he realized how dumb it'd be
>>288637303When people were speculating who could be sisters, someone asked Gosho if Yukiko and Mary are sisters, which of course he denied, but I don't think Eri ever came up, and she seems to be only relevant to getting Kogoro flustered.
Someone should ask Gosho how many brothers Yusaku Kudo has...
I never figured I'd be envious of monkeys...
>>288638363Yeah, those apples look delicious.
