Author note- This is very depprising just saying so don't read if that bothers you enjoy :smile: Pain… so much pain, the world around him was dark absent of anything and everything. No light shown through, he strained his eyes attempting to see through the darkness that was as thick as fog but much like his life he thought, it was lightless. He could not help but wonder if he was dead and this was some sick form of hell. He did not know what he had done to end up in hell nor did he care, fate never had liked him very much he supposed. Fate had been the one that had put him on the coaster the same as those damned crows. Fate had been the one that had allowed him to be hit in the head with a metal pole as he was fed poison, and lastly fate was the one who had allowed him to live, in his book this was the moment fate had truly cursed him. If he had never lived Ran would have never constantly mourned his absence while he stood by watching. If he had died he would never have dragged innocent people into his affairs such as Hakase or Hattori and even the Shonen Tantei. Most importantly if he had died he would not be here, and where was here he had long forgotten. He shifted uncomfortably at his last thought causing the cuffs on his wrists to ache painfully. He forcefully shifted his mind from the subject in order to hold on to what remaining sanity he held. His thoughts shifted to another dreary subject, rescue. He guessed this was the result of the fact he no longer had many “happy” subjects to think off. He sighed mind refocusing on his last ideal. When he had first been thrown in this place who knows how long ago, he constantly thought of rescue. He vividly imagined the police hauling away the men who had done this to him while his mother cried into his shirt rejoicing his return all the while Ran would be right at his side refusing to let go of the recently returned detective. They had been such great dreams which over time had turned into dreadful nightmares. He sighed again for the umpteenth time trying to once again change his thought process. It was about that time again wasn’t it, his thoughts proved correct when through the thick noiseless darkness he heard a loud scrape as a plate of food was passed through a small whole. He scooted over against the wall his back had long been accustom to lying against as he slowly made his way towards the bowl of rice which would be his only meal till god knows when. Many times he had thought of just pushing the bowl aside and saving himself the trouble of living at all, but each time he held on to life. His only companion other than the darkness of course, the rice was bland and old. He did not mind though the bland flavor he thought fit him well. As he continued to eat the rice he allowed him the simple pleasure of rest. He did not mind the nightmares much anymore so he found it oddly peaceful to escape this place even If what lies beyond is no better. As he finished the last grain he found himself slowly drifting off to a world as dark as his own. He woke to a loud noise, his head shot up before he whimpered in pain he had forgotten the bruise that lie there. He was brought out from his pain by another loud noise which after several seconds he realized had been a gunshot. The gunshot had been followed by bellowing screams he could not quite make out. Then silence reined again, at first he thought hope was lost, but then seconds later the screams began again this time closer. He could just barely make them out they were something like “ Find him now” and “Don’t forget to check every square inch for prisoners” His mind wandered “Prisoners” the word felt foreign on his tongue he tried desperately to put together the memories associated with the word but failed. What was a prisoner? He sighed and decided it best not to fret over it. It had nothing to do with him he decided. He began to shift again as he attempted to slip back into peaceful sleep he however was but of by again interrupted by a bright light so blinding it ached. Standing in the light was a man eyes squinted to pear into the darkness as his eyes drifted towards himself they widened and said man turned to yell back into the mysterious light “I found someone’ he looked at him oddly. The man rushed to him bantering on about if he was alright ECT... but he had something more pressing on his mind than his well being. This man just had to know the answer, so coming to a decision he croaked the words out “you wouldn’t happen to know what a prisoner is would you” Author note/ well that was… depressing to write, but do not worry it shall become happier hopefully. I know it is kind of confusing, but all will be explained soon. Gotta love the ending though right? R&R or else I will find u (-:

So... I didn't know where to put this. I guess I'll just post this here. Anyway, at our school, we did this project called Adopt a Country. Of course, I picked Japan. Well, I'm going to share some of the project work I did. They can be kinda boring... Sorry. Information about Japan: Japan “The Land of the Rising Sun” Japan is known as the “Land of the Rising Sun”. It is called the “Land of the Rising Sun” because of Japan’s flag. The red sphere in the middle represents the sun. Japan has one of world’s biggest economies along with the United States, Europe, and China. Japan has four main islands called Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku and around those, there are more than four thousand smaller ones. Japan is just barely smaller than Montana. Japan’s capital is Tokyo, which is one of the world’s largest cities. The population of Japan is 126,804,433 and ranked 10th for the most population on the planet. The population density is 336 people per a square mile, which is ranked 32nd on Earth. Japan is also the leading supplier of fish and the United States biggest trading partner. In a family, a man is the head of the family. The woman works and raises the children, like us. However, usually the male and female are equal. Women didn’t have jobs originally, but now 50 percent work. There are almost always fewer than three kids. Teenagers date around fifteen and do the same things as us, such as going out to eat, seeing a movie, etc. The usual marrying age is twenty-seven for males and twenty-six for females. Weddings are important and also expensive. They are most commonly held in hotels. Divorce and single parenthood is very rare, unlike us. Schoolwork is very important. Even in kindergarten, kids are expected to do their very best and nothing less. It’s very serious and rigorous. Getting into the right school can guarantee success for their whole life. School is free ages six to fifteen. After, that you have to pay, while school is usually free ages five to eighteen in America. Also, there are often school uniforms students are required to wear. This distinguishes schools from each other. Students also sign yearbooks just like us. English is taught in all secondary schools (which is around highschool age) because it is often used in business deals and etc. School is everyday except Sunday and is held twice a month on Saturday. There are two Japanese alphabets: Hiragana and Katakana which are simplified letters. There is also Kanji and Romaji, which are based off of Chinese and Roman letters. Japanese can be written vertically right to left or horizontally left to right. Being polite is also an important quality. There are many things Japanese consider polite and impolite. When greeting someone, a proper bow is the most polite way when first meeting someone. A handshake is fine when meeting a foreigner. Yawning, chewing gum, putting your ankle over your knee, and blowing your nose in public are all considered impolite. A person should sit up straight with their feet flat on the floor. When guests come over to other people’s houses, they usually give a gift. Also, guests are treated the best. When eating soup, slurping is not considered impolite. It shows that person’s gratitude of how much they are enjoying the meal. If a kid is walking and eating, it is considered ok, however if an adult was walking and eating, it is considered very impolite. There are shops on the sides of the street where you can get something, stand there and eat it. Also, laughing can be a sign of embarrassment. The Japanese currency is yen(¥). One million dollars would equal about 83,906,010 yen. One million yen would equal about 11,918.1 dollars. There’s a big difference. Japanese names have many suffixes. If you just met someone, such as Mr. Ogushi, you would call them Ogushi-san. There’s “chan” for girls. It means cute or small. There is also “kun” for someone you’ve known for a long time. There are also others such as “nee-chan” and “nii-chan” or “one-sama” and “onii-sama”, which means older sister and older brother. There are many others for uncle, grandpa, etc. Japanese people also have fun as well, though. Many, even adults, like to read manga and anime, which are graphic novels and cartoons, but they’re meant for many different ages. Some popular ones are Inuyasha, Ranma ½, Case Closed, and many others. People also enjoy karaoke. There are karaoke boxes, where you can rent a room and sing with friends. Most people have cell phones, and many also enjoy reading newspapers and magazines. They also play sports including soccer, volleyball, tennis, skiing, jogging, wrestling, judo, kendo, karate, golf, and Japan’s most popular sport, baseball. There are Japanese-style houses, apartments, and now Western-style houses. When people enter houses, they take off their shoes is the genkan which is a small place between the door and the living room. After, they put on slippers to wear around the house. There are sliding doors, called fusuma. If you open them, you can make two rooms into one. Also, people have beds, but sometimes they sleep on futons, which are beds you lay on the ground. When you’re done, you can roll them up and put them in the closet. To eat, they use chopsticks or hashi, to eat meals. The main meal is dinner. The Japanese also have many traditions. When the cherry blossoms bloom, people like to go and have a picnic and enjoy themselves. There are temples, too. People go there to pray for many things, such as a good grade on a test. You can also buy good luck charms. When people go to a temple, they pull a rope and a bell rings. They pray and clap their hands once. Then they can get a piece of paper with a fortune on it. If the fortune is bad, they tie it to a tree to get rid of the bad luck. Random facts: Sushi is expensive; it is usually only bought on rare occasions. Adults like to drink a type of alcohol called sake, which is rice wine. Medical teams wear helmets and blue scrubs. The life expectancy rate for males are 79 and 86 for female. Business people wear ties and suits, just like America and Europe. People dress in harmony with other people, but comfortably. A major holiday is New Years Eve. The prime minister is the head of government. The voting age is twenty. People travel in cars, planes, subways, and trains. For a funeral, bodies are burned instead of buried, like us. They have cigarette vending machines as well as regular ones. They even have indoor beaches. This is Japan, a land that lives in harmony with each other. Here's one about places to go if you visit Japan: Konichiwa (koh NEECH ee wah) (Hello)! Welcome to Japan! This Asian country is made up of over 4,000 islands with four main ones in the Pacific Ocean. There are many cities, temples, shrines, parks, and attractions in Japan. The cities we are going to be visiting these next eight days include Tokyo, Osaka, Tokyo Dome City, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, and Hiroshima. Let’s go! Japan’s largest city and capital is Tokyo. Tokyo is also one of the biggest cities in the world! There are many shops and tourist attractions. Let’s start here! Day 1: Tokyo Tower Tokyo Tower is in Tokyo, if you hadn’t guessed. It is the world’s tallest self-supporting tower. It was based of France’s Eiffel Tower. It is 333 meters tall, which is 13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower. It was built in 1958 as a symbol of Japan’s birth economically. On the top of the tower, there’s a TV and radio broadcast antenna. On the ground floor there is an aquarium, wax museum, etc. The main observatory is at 150 meters. If you want a bird’s eye view, you can continue going up to 250 meters. Mt. Fuji can be seen from here if the weather is good and clear. Tokyo Tower is open everyday 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The entrance fee is 820 yen (About 10 dollars). To get to the top floor, the fee is 1420 yen (About 17.50 dollars). And now, onto our next location! Day 2: Akihabara (AKA Akiba) Akihabara is also in Tokyo. It’s a cluster of hundreds of shops and stores. Looking for anything related to electronics? This is your place! There are computers, cameras, TVs, cell phones, and more! Akiba is famous for electronic shops. However, gaming, anime, and manga are becoming very popular as well. Here are three major stores with branches in Akiba: Ishimaru (10 stores), Softmap (16 stores), and Laox (8 stores). Akihabara is also famous for it’s cosplay cafes. It’s like a regular café, except waitresses dress up like anime characters. Day 3: Yoyogi Koen (Yoyogi Park) And now, our last location in Tokyo: Yoyogi Park! Yoyogi Park is one of Tokyo’s largest parks. There are wide lawns, ponds, and a forest. This park is great is you want to go for a morning run, have a nice family picnic, etc. There is a fewer number of cherry trees than other parks, but it’s a beautiful spot in spring. Yoyogi Park is known for its Ginko forest. It is a nice place to view in autumn because a couple of trees turn a wonderful shade of gold. Yoyogi Park was first used as US military personnel. Later, it was turned into an Olympic Village for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Finally, it became a city park in 1967. I would recommend visiting Yoyogi Park in spring or fall. Now, let’s go visit Osaka! Day 4: Osaka Castle Osaka Castle is in, well Osaka! Osaka Castle is a famous landmark and tourist attraction. Totomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle in 1583. It was built on a highstone to be a safeguard from enemies. It covers about 15 acres of land. There are more than 8,000 artifacts inside the castle. It was damaged heavily and rebuilt by Tokugawa. In 1660, it was bombed and rebuilt in 1925. Once again, Osaka Castle was bombed in 1945 and (once again) rebuilt in 1995. Let’s continue, shall we? Day 5: Tokyo Dome Tokyo Dome is located in Tokyo Dome City. It was opened on March 17th, 1988. There are many sports and concerts held here. 60 NFL and baseball games are held yearly. Madonna, Michael Jackson, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, etc. have performed in Tokyo Dome. There are also some exhibitions, such as the International Quilt Festivals, etc. The actual dome can fit 55,000 people. The total area is 112,456 sq. miles. Next location: Hiroshima! Day 6: Peace Memorial Park The Peace Memorial Park is in Hiroshima. This park was built after the US dropped the atomic bomb. It’s over 120,000 sq. meters. Even if you’re not looking for it, you’ll likely stumble upon this titanic sized park. Before the bomb was dropped, this was the most political and commercial heart of the city. This is why the pilot of the plane chose this location. Every year, there’s a ceremony held for the anniversary of the day the bomb was dropped. There are speeches for loved ones, etc. The park’s main facility is the Peace Memorial Museum. Now on to something a little happier… Day 7: Mt. Fuji (AKA Fuji-san) Mt. Fuji is a dormant volcano near the Yamanashi and Karagawa prefectures. Mt. Fuji’s last eruption was in November 1707 and has been dormant since February 1708. Its 3,776 meters or 12,388.45 feet tall. The air becomes thinner as elevation rises. Mt. Fuji is a very famous landmark. By the way, the suffix san is usually formal, for someone you just met, or Mr. and Mrs./Ms. So, when called Fuji-san, people are showing respect to the mountain. Mt. Fuji is a very popular choice to draw and paint among artists. And, finally, our last day… Day 8: Fuji-Q Highland Who doesn’t love fun and games? Our last stop is Fuji-Q highland, an amusement park! Fuji-Q highland is in Fujiyoshida and Yamanashi. It’s been open since 1961. Right now, there are six existing roller coasters. There are two theme parks for kids as well: Hamtaro Kingdom and Thomas Land. There are over 30 rides and attractions. There is a pay entrance fee, but unlike US amusement parks, rides cost money to go on. An entrance ticket for adults is 1200 yen (About 15 dollars) and the same for students ages 1-12. For one whole day (all rides included), it’s 4800 yen (About 59.50 dollars) for adults and 4300 yen (About 53 dollars) for students ages 1-12. Seniors (Over age 65) and infants are 2300 yen (About 28.50 dollars). Well, we’re already at the end of our trip. These past days have been a blast. I would recommend learning Japanese if you ever visit Japan. And maybe, you’ll actually visit these places. I hope you enjoyed this whirlwind vacation! Arigato gozaimasu (Thank you very much)! Sayonara (Good-bye)! A biography on Aoyama Gosho: Gosho Aoyama is one of the world’s most famous manga artists. He has written many mangas, including Chotto Mattete(Wait a Minute), Magic Kaito, Yaiba, 3rd Base 4th, Gosho Aoyama Short Story Collection, and his most famous creation, Detective Conan. He is renowned in over 80 countries for his work by selling over 100 million manga copies. Gosho Aoyama was born on June 21st, 1963 in Daiei (now known as Hokuei), Tottori Prefecture as Yoshimasu Aoyama. I found the fact that no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find any information about Aoyama’s family interesting. When he was a child, he originally dreamed of being a detective. Aoyama ended up living his dream by drawing Detective Conan. Even when he was young, he was talented. In first grade, his painting “Yukiaki War” won a contest and was displayed in the Tottori Daimaru Department Store. Aoyama graduated from Yuraikuei High School. He went to the Nihon University College of Art in Tokyo. In 1986, his freshman year, there was a comic contest and he won. This was a great start off for his career as being a manga artist (AKA mangaka). Gosho’s first work Chotto Mattete was in 1986. Chotto Mattete was about a boy genius’s time machine that sends his girlfriend two years into the future. In 1987, it appeared in the magazine Shonen Sunday. This manga won Aoyama’s first award: The Newcomer’s Award for Comics. Later in 1987, he came out with Magic Kaito, which ended in 2007 with four volumes. Magic Kaito is about a teenage magician named Kaito Kuroba. His father was the original Kaitou Kid and a famous magician, but was murdered. Kaito becomes the infamous gentleman thief Kaitou Kid who uses magic and tricks to search for the legendary Pandora. There is one episode of the anime (Japanese cartoons). This series is on hold for the moment. Aoyama drew and wrote Yaiba in 1988, which ended in 1993. Yaiba is a 24 volume manga, which was turned into a 52 episode anime. Yaiba is about a short and childish teenager named Yaiba Kurogane, who is training to be a samurai. He goes through many strange fights and makes supernatural enemies. This series won Gosho the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1992. 3rd Base 4th was created in 1993. This series is about an average baseball player named Shigeo Nagashima. He buys a magical baseball bat that allows him to hit every single pitch. For every hit though, he has to pay the mysterious store. Gosho Aoyama Short Story Collection has been written over the years. This contains many small stories from some of his creations, or they were just little plot bunnies. The Gosho Aoyama Short Story Collection includes Play it Again, Excalibur, Santa Claus in the Summer, The Detective George’s Job, Wait a Minute, and The Wandering Red Butterfly. Aoyama also wrote Tell Me a Lie in 2007, which was a one-shot published in Shonen Sunday on March 22nd 2007. It’s about a girl who can read people’s minds when she looks them in the eyes. Finally, Aoyama Gosho’s most famous creation is Detective Conan. Detective Conan is known as Case Closed in America and the United Kingdom. This popular series is about a famous high school detective, named Shinichi Kudo. He follows two suspicious men in black, and witnesses a blackmailing case. Shinichi is discovered and forced to take a poison that should’ve killed him. Instead, it shrinks him ten years back, and now appears to be a seven year old. He decides to hide his identity, and becomes Conan Edogawa (A combination of Edogawa Rampo and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and moves in with his childhood friend (and love interest) with her father, a lazy and not so great detective. Now, he has to find the Black Organization with plenty of mysteries and complicated cases. Also, Aoyama’s characters from Magic Kaito appear, as Conan tries to capture Kaitou Kid. There was also an OVA (Original Video Animation) made that featured characters from Magic Kaito and Yaiba in the episode. This series is still ongoing, and started in 1994. Every week, a new anime and manga chapter is released. This is one of the most popular and best selling manga series in Japan. Detective Conan also won Aoyama his second Shogakukan Manga Award in 2001. There are many statues of Conan and Shinichi in Gosho’s hometown, and there’s even a bridge called the Conan Bridge across Yura River. The Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory is a museum in the Tottori district that was opened on March 18th 2007 to celebrate his career. Aoyama likes Sherlock Holmes and mysteries. That was one reason he started Detective Conan. When asked why he did start this manga, he said he “wanted to draw a romantic comedy when a detective became small again”. He also said that he wanted to send the message “that whatever happens, it’s not allowed to kill humans” and “don’t give up”. This series has just passed 600 episodes, but when they had passed 500, Aoyama said “they were just passing the halfway point”. Many people speculate what the ending of Detective Conan will be. Gosho says that he has an ending planned, but he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to draw it. Gosho’s editor helps him come up with the complex cases. He also has five assistants to help. Aoyama said that he had been anxious at other people taking control of his characters at first, but now he’s comfortable with it. He often jokes why he didn’t come up with that idea. Gosho accepted Minami Takayama’s proposal in March 2005. They married on May 5th 2005, Takayama’s birthday. Minami is a singer, and also the voice actress of Gosho’s main characters, Conan Edogawa and Yaiba Kurogane. However, they divorced on December 10th, 2007 for personal reasons. Recently, Aoyama went to visit the movie set of the Japanese mystery drama Aibou. The director, Seiji Izumi himself invited Gosho to be a forensic in the New Year’s episode. Aoyama accepted, and that was his acting debut. He was in the show for slightly less than a minute. He had a clipboard with paper and a ballpoint pen, and looked like he was taking notes. When he was finished, many of the cast were amazed at what he drew on the paper. In that short span of time, he had managed to draw Conan, and it looked like it was right from the manga! Gosho Aoyama is an amazing manga artist, and has sold over 100 million manga copies. He has created many unique and loveable characters, and will always be a respected and admired mangaka by the whole world. Mai Kuraki(this is just about her sales and nominating her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and why): Dear Nomination Committee, I would like to nominate Mai Kuraki as an artist for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I believe she deserves the honor, as she has quite a few achievements. Mai Kuraki (Mai K) started singing in 1999. She is a singer and songwriter and plays the piano as well. Mai Kuraki decided to become a singer when she heard Whitney Houston’s music and saw Michael Jackson’s dance moves in high school. When she released her debut album, “Delicious Way”, she sold over 2,210,000 copies in the first week. She has six number-one albums and two number-one singles out of thirty six. Mai Kuraki is one of the few females in Japan to have their first few beginning albums at the top of the Oricon charts. Oricon is a music industry in Japan and supplies info on music. The Recording Industry of Japan (RIAJ) has certified a few of Mai Kuraki’s songs, with the title ‘Million’, which is the highest. ‘Million’ is when a million copies have been sold. The album “Perfect Crime” and her debut album both won “Rock Album of the Year”. Mai Kuraki also has the record of being the only female artist in Japan who has had all of her singles make it into the Top Ten. One of her songs has also won a Japan Gold Disc Award for Song of the Year. Mai Kuraki is Number 38 of the 50 Best Selling Artists in Japan of all time, according to the RIAJ. She has made over $15,530,000. She’s releasing a new single on May 25th, 2011. Recently, Mai Kuraki appeared at a charity soccer match in Osaka. She sang the national anthem before the game. She is also working on a charity song to help make money for the earthquake and tsunami victims from the recent natural disaster. Mai Kuraki is a wonderful and uplifting artist, and her songs are amazing. She works hard, she sings well, and she is kind. All of the reasons I’ve given you above are the reasons I think Mai Kuraki should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well, that was all of them... So? Any comments? I hope you learned something new from reading all of this!! FUN FACT: Did you know the BZ's are the top selling artists in Japan?

ANYONE KNOWS THIS POPULAR MOVIE FROM 2006-2008?? THIS WAS GREAT EVER SO MUCH FOR ME!!

Let's see. I've had: - Gin - Vodka - Vermouth (quite good actually) - Sherry - Tequila That's about it I think. What about you?

I was thinking that there should be a page where we can compare the differences of how characters looked when they first debuted to how they look now. Gosho has definitely changed drawing styles throughout the series. I'd say that takagi has changed more than any other character though. So I thought it would be interesting to showcase how much detective conan has changed over time. Does anyone else think that this would be a page you would wanna see???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZCKl_dKwbQ AMV I made while I couldn't sleep :]

Real life has pretty much ruined any chance of having more than an hour for this case, and spoilers are apparently already out, but here are my basic thoughts anyway. I think Bannai Kumi did it because of her position as the best manipulator. She was one who had the tickets to the hot spring. Also the blood found at the scene is suspicious, and she has several cuts. That's really not enough though to implicate her. The alarm clock was set to go off and give the murderer and the others an excuse to barge into the room so that is easy to explain. The TV trick is more complicated. I think the setup went something along the lines of a clothespin was used to hold down the channel change button of the universal remote, so once the TV was on, it would zap by changing channels continuously. To prevent the rigged remote from being seen accidentally, the murderer hid it under the newspaper on the bed. It had the side effect of also causing the landlady's channels to change in the adjacent room. Sato said the TV can schedule a time for viewing, so this may means the TV is able to turn itself on, but the murderer needed the other TV remote so they could turn it off in front of Denkawa's door when everyone gathered outside it to yell at the guy and to establish an alibi. The murderer also scattered clothespins on the floor so that it wouldn't look weird for one clothespin to be lying around. When the murderer barged into the room, in the confusion, they replaced the other remote as well as the key, and took the clothespin off of the other remote and moved it to the floor. A bloody clothespin wasn't found though, so maybe the murderer kept it after seeing the blood? One problem is that the explanation has nothing to do with the fans. It also doesn't explain why Hyoudou Junji said he knocked the fan over, but there are clothespins underneath where the fan would have stood, so if the fan was upright to start with, it means the fan was sitting on clothespins which is pretty unstable. Was he mistaken? A more complicated explanation may involve using the fans to hold down the channel change button and holding the remote in place with the pins, then using a remote for the fans to dislodge the remote and the pins from outside by turning on the fans. I really don't know.

First, unarchive the .zip file. I assume you already got this far. Then, open the unarchived file. You should see a bunch of folders. Go to the folder called "conf", and open it. You should see two .xml files. Right click on them, and see their "Properties". You should see the size of each file. The one with a size that's closer to 10 KB should be renamed 行動, and the file with a size closer to 43 KB should be renamed 動作. After that, click on shimeji.exe.

Air opening

Naruto-Heroes Come Back

787-789 are likely going to be the only chapters to be tied up with the Kogoro case. (Note: this case is totally a fake Kogoro lookalike, fake Akai lookalike hint drop) Assuming Gosho will start on the 00, that leaves 790-799, which may break down into three three parters or a three parter and a six parter, and a singlet for 799 (a singlet has happened before two major showdown arcs now - 594 and 699). I think we are likely to get at least one more Sera case because we still need clues about what specifically tipped Sera off that Shinichi, Conan, and Haibara are important. We are also going to need a pretty heavy Ran's suspicion themed case in order to build the proper "Save Sera from Bourbon while keeping Ran from suspecting!" double header that has been hinted at for a while now. (Shiragami, Sports bar, Sera's questions) The Sera and suspicion may be combined into one case with the suspicion spilling over into the next case. I think Gosho needs to drop a reminder about Scar Akai before 800 hits because his last appearance was ~100 chaps before 800 which will equate to about 2.5 years of not appearing - then again after this long, maybe it's better to wait until the main plot. We still don't know why he hates Akai yet. Gosho has yet to drop any hints in that direction which is a bit aggravating. It would be nice if there was one scar Akai case before the main fall, but with Sera and suspicion there may not be room before 800 hits unless Gosho somehow decides that three plots in a row is a good thing. Perhaps we will have a minor Okiya appearance shoved in to clarify how he feels about Sera and just to remind the readers who everyone is before the big 00.

Ó.Ò'' Dear KKLT, Well, you should be happy I don't care much about their look, but actually their hearts. It isn't the outside that counts, but the inside. And when I say the inside, I mean the heart. :P Anyway, I'll treasure Nur's heart more than anything!! Even more than myself!! But, aaahh, I should stop talking 'bout that now!!! >///< Signed, KtPT.

Dear Anonymous, I love you. Signed, me.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you!! Yay!! I figured out one of the mystery reps...

conan, cause i'm a pedophile shinichi, of course.. :grin:

I've been looking through some drawings and decided to try my hand at posting one of my own. I really don't consider myself an artist, but I'm quite proud of this drawing. Notes: -This was my first attempt at drawing DC. Kinda. As in, I had to erase and redraw a couple of times, but it was the first time I actually drew it. -The shading in of the hair was last minute, so I apologize for that. -This was based on the first manga scan. -The left eye got a bit messed up since I erased it several times. Sorry. -You may see eraser marks. I apologize for it.

The Kichiemon page now exists, but I was wondering if someone could help fill in the holes for Gin and Akai. I added in a bunch of new sections that need filling. A good hunk of it is plot summary and pictures.

I know there are a bunch of new pages that are in decent shape. You can see a list of new pages here (The list doesn't go back too far though): http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Special:NewPages Here are some new pages I think are in pretty good shape as far as completeness goes. (Apologies to anyone if I missed something you worked on.) http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Hikaru_Yasumoto http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Monkey_%26_Bamboo_Rake%E2%80%99s_Stolen_Items http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Calvados http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Gadgets http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Scar_Akai Although they are complete, I'm not sure these are appropriate because they're theory pages and may wind up being wrong. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Akai_faked_his_death_theory http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Okiya_is_Akai_Theory http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Scar_Akai_is_Bourbon_Theory Close to being complete: i.e. still missing some things http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Black_Organization http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Fusae_Campbell http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Subaru_Okiya http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Nanatsu_no_ko

How about updating the featured article, song of the week, and the did you know section? It's been the same for about a month now I think. Maybe we can hold a weekly poll on what they should be or something like that?

There isn't much to say on Hagiwara, is there? There's more on Matsuda but even there the info's slim. The idea's great! I haven't seen any remarkable changes in this wiki since I started browsing (besides the 1000 article mark) There's a wiki on Wikia.com about Detective Conan. If this wiki makes an "alliance" or something, I think it may benefit both. The wiki on Wikia is in disrepair anyways (well, their English isn't prime), I think it needs some help. I'm editing it right now and I'm not a mod! I think everyone can edit this topic. The site, no. You know, there are a bunch of articles like Calvados that have nothing. Arrack as well.

I have certain feelings as to who the boss is: First off (unless this was translated incorrectly), the boss might be male. Gin says, "To gain his trust, he wants you to clean out somebody Source Second, Vermouth is the boss's favorite member, and he lets her do her own thing, but occasionally contacts her when he thinks she's had too much freedom. But what I wonder is why Vermouth is his/her favorite? Obviously, the boss must have loads of information on each member, and knows when Vermouth does too much, but there are other members such as Gin who follow his every motive without a single thought or emotion. Obviously, it's not because of her showing of emotions unlike the other members, because this is an evil organization that kills, so if you can't kill, you're certainly not helpful to the boss. The Organization has been around for a long time. At least 20 years ago, Vermouth killed Jodie's father because he had too much information on her and her background (which at the time she was still in the Organization). The boss may have changed, but maybe not. If the boss did change, it would probably be passed down to a son/daughter or nephew/niece etc. According to the Case Closed Casebook (an unnoficial guide to the series but it's facts have been proven mostly true), there was a Gosho Aoyama interview that said: The boss had been introduced to the manga at one point. Haibara would be shocked to find out the true identity (this could mean someone she trusted, someone who seemed too old/young/stupid/unlikely to be the boss, someone she thought was dead, etc.) The true name of the Syndicate is tied to the leader's identity Some other facts we've stumbled upon as the story progresses: The boss believes Akai Shuichi is the "silver bullet" of the Organization. He/she obviously knows of Akai's great intelligence, speed, and agility. That means either the boss has witnessed this before, or he/she got a REALLY good description of Akai from someone in the Organization. When contacting the boss' email, the keys typed out the nursery rhyme Nanatsu No Ko (七つの子), which translates to Seven Children. This can mean a multitude of things about the boss. This implies he/she is Japanese or has lived in Japan for a while or has studied a lot of Japanese culture, since the song Nanatsu No Ko is not well known in other places besides for Japan.Maybe the title or lyrics have a significance to the boss: Lyrics: karasu, naze naku no Crow, why do you cry? karasu wa yama ni kawaii nanatsu no ko ga iru kara yo Because it has 7 cute kids in the mountain kawaii kawaii to karasu wa naku no crow cries "kawaii - kawaii" kawaii kawaii to naku n da yo "kawaii - kawaii", it cries yama no furusa e itte mite goran marui me o shita ii ko da yo Go to its old home at the mountain, and you will see its round-eyed, lovely kids The song, which uses the notes Si la so la Si la so la re mi re do re mi so la for the beginning, has brought Conan to discover the boss' e-mail. The boss uses alcoholic codenames: The boss may have a preference for alcohol or has a connection in the past or by his/her name to alcohol. Or maybe the boss relates alcohol to darker things. Obviously the codenames are used to cover up their true names, but I wonder what the significance is... The Boss seems to have a lot of knowledge on mysteries: Passwords and codes in the organization have a lot to do with mysteries, for example, the password Sherringford, one of the names Sir Arthur Conan Doyle considered before deciding on Sherlock Holmes. Maybe the boss enjoys mysteries and puzzles, or maybe he/she knows a detective or mystery freak... The boss takes extreme caution: When it comes down to it, the boss tends to be extremely careful in what he/she does. Even Vermouth noted this in file 704. I have multiple opinions and guesses as to who the boss is, and I guess Dr. Agasa wouldn't be one of my guesses for the boss per say, but I think he could be related as a member. With his intelligence and great inventing skills, I doubt the Organization would just ignore his talent... maybe he works for the Organization or builds things for them without noticing (the rich patrons that buy his inventions perhaps?)
