Here, you can change the font, size, color, and add pictures, links or media. To add a picture, go to any picture-hosting website [i use Photobucket ] and copy the IMG code [on Photobucket, the code is at the bottom right of the page. I do wish they made tutorials here. But whatever, that's pretty much it. Any other questions, just ask!

You shouldn't get character philosophies confused with the author's philosophies. Detective Conan is written with a certain demographic in mind. So writing everything in black and white when it comes to morals is a necessity. I'm fairly certain Gosho not only recognizes, but would use the gray area if his target audience was not kids. So, yes, in DC the two main detectives in DC are idealists, and have ideological philosophies. However Gosho has proven that suicide is not out of his realm of ability. He has done it twice. The first with the Yoko Stalker, and the second with Moonlight Sonata. You also have to take into account that it is far easier to write mysteries for murder than suicide. Please refer to the TV Tropes page Always Murder for more information about that. In the end, it isn't that Gosho doesn't want to write about suicides, because he has. There is likely more complicated reasons that you would have to ask Gosho himself. However, I would suspect that it has something to do with the morals he wants to convey through Detective Conan (killing is bad, even yourself), and it is easier and more interesting to write about murder than suicide. Edit: replying to Shin-chan and OP This is also true... This has to do with the perception of suicide in the culture. In Japan suicide was, and in some ways still is, seen as an honorable way to end a disgrace. I know there are more than a few ghost stories in Japan that have to do with suicides. It all comes down to perception. In the west, suicide is frowned upon, and always has been. Even in our equivalent of feudal times (medieval) suicide by a knight was seen as cowardly. So naturally our literature reflected this and suicide was less prevalent than murder. Which is why most LITERATURE is mostly murder and robbery mysteries in the west. Where as in Japan deaths were quite often suicides, because of Bushido. So for them it would be more interesting for it to seem like a murder and turn out to be a suicide which was more believable. How this affects Gosho is another story. I cannot personally confirm that the prevalence of suicide based mysteries in Japanese literature lead him to go mostly for murder, but we do know that Gosho is influenced by both types of mystery, Japanese and Western alike. If I were to guess his motives in how he proceeded, he used those two suicide cases to set up to refer back to meet his own goals for the moral standing of the manga. As I said in the relpy to Shuichi Akai, Gosho is very clear in that he wants to make killing of all types seem bad. Had he not had those two suicide cases, he could not have done so. Hell, the only criminal to not meet justice is the one thief in his series. Had he wanted all crime to be called into his moral goals he would have had at least another thief (one which he did not care so much about as KK) and have them arrested by the intervention of Kogorou/Conan (setting up pretense for that would not be hard with a private detective). As for OP, NCIS and CSI are also totally different sorts of mystery shows. A better comparison would be say Psych or Monk. They show more the science than the detective work, and they make their arrests based on that, where as Psych and Monk aim to show the abilities of the detective, and thus they never really make it to the lab, or it is less shown. And on that note... I will humbly request that you cease and desist watching CSI... They destroy science and the public perception of how Crime Scene Investigation works. NCIS sorta does too, but they are at least closer to how it really works. PS: I think I'm done now

I try to find the good in people, despite how I feel towards them. The only thing that's stupid is what you just said. I'm sure that you are smart in some (if not more) aspects of your life. Trust me, the ones who are truly stupid are those who are in denial about their stupidity. So you should just keep your head up and learn from your mistakes rather than dwelling on them.

Mitsu is very logical. However, as much as he is logical he is also imaginative. His intelligence is above average, which is to say that he is probably top tier in his class, probably as Shinichi was. Shinichi at his age was very similar, if not more clever, but less imaginative. I think there is a balance between the two, young shinichi and mitsu, where they share similar intelligence, but Shinichi was taught to be clever and think on his feet, and Mitsu was brought up to be imaginative. This is probably why Mitsu can think up great scenarios, but until he gets pushed in the right direction his deductions will likely be wrong. We saw this in the Desperate Revival arc. When not thinking of Conan he had some interesting ideas, and when he heard the partial solution he got it almost immediately. I think Mitsu, with the proper guidance from Shinichi (aka Conan) he can be the next great HS detective.

Im guessing you're Chinese? Hi Im KKLT. I'll do a short intro today because I feel like it~ Im Chinese. But Im not born in China. I can speak Mandarin and English. Other languages that I speak are unimportant. I am at least a high school student and Im living somewhere in Asia. People here are crazy, if not insane. Im one of them who has a much more serious condition of insaneness. Hope you don't get infected. This is not my usual way of introduction, but I guess its more unique then. If you wanna read my usual intro, you can tell me. That is, if you really have the patience to read it Anyway... WELCOME TO DCW!
