Vermouth Ring Charizard Gyarados Swords I Give This To......<33 Butterfly Well, these are some of my arts. (I actually had a topic in some other forums, (Username - Jinxed) so i thought.."Why dont you share it here?").

Movies don't count. This is a mytery manga, so having detectives in it is to be expected. Besides, Junya is dead, Natsumi is in jail and Hakuba almost never appears, so they can't really be put in the same category as Heiji, the DB or Sera.

I did some thinking about why Okiya (assuming he is Akai) would suddenly step up his protection of Ai after Sera appeared assuming Sera is his sister and also not a bad guy or part of the Black Org. Here are events from Okiya’s perspective: We know he's been tapping the Agasa house, at least since recently. Discussions about Sera that took place in Agasa’s house in the same vicinity as the overheard conversation include. 771 pg 10: Conan talks about how Sera seemed to know about him ahead of time. Haibara said “Then, that detective named Sera knew both your name and that you were a detective?” Conan confirms this but points out Sera seemed to throw the case on purpose for some reason. Haibara then began yelling that it was bad to use Kudo’s voice in front of someone suspicious like Sera. Conan then says Sera feels familiar and doesn’t feel like an enemy. 772 pg 4: Conan mentioned that Sera was involved with the current case and is over at the Mouri detective agency. Sera may be using an alias because her family name isn’t Akai. Okiya may not recognize it via listening device. (Though it could be possible Akai is using the alias or "Sera" has become the Akai family witness protection name) I also assume Akai would recognize Sera in person -- that is she isn’t using a disguise or drastically changed her appearance. Later, Okiya saw Sera outside of Agasa’s house talking with Mitsuhiko and Genta while looking up at it. I assume Okiya had been watching her. I also assume Okiya can’t hear what they are talking about. So why the extra protection? Five possibilities occurred to me: #1. Okiya can't be sure Conan and Haibara's Sera person that he overheard the discussion about via listening devices was in fact the person talking to Mitsuhiko and Genta. If Sera has been using an alias, this makes sense. #2. Okiya couldn't be absolutely sure if that person was his sister and not someone in disguise, #3. and even if that person was his sister, he couldn't be sure that she wasn't being watched or, #4. unaware of the danger of the Org, he is worried she might accidentally do something that would endanger Haibara and Conan's covers. #5. He thinks his sister may attempt a direct confrontation with either Haibara or Conan. He’s trying to head it off. #1: Okiya would want to step in because this means there could be someone threatening Conan's identity. #2: Okiya has already seen someone disguising as Akai wandering around town, so keeping that in mind, perhaps if someone in the Black Org has done some digging and found out about Akai's family, that person could be using their appearance to try to lure him out and gather information. I am specifically thinking Okiya suspects Vermouth, who knows about Conan and Haibara and might think they helped Akai fake his death and is trying to dig for info. I assume Okiya can't hear the conversation through the window, so he doesn't know what Sera is up to, only that she appeared in front of the Kudo residence all of a sudden and is talking to the DBs. #3 & #4: Sera probably came over on her own accord, and not knowing the danger, may not have taken proper precautions against making sure the BO don't find out who she is. Okiya is worried that something may have already happened. #5: This would imply Sera is very certain of her deduction or else her methods aren’t very subtle. I’m not sure if she thinks this strategy would work although she did want to meet Conan at the beginning of the Mouri agency hostage case. Also if he thinks Sera is going to do such a thing, he must also realize that the way he is following the DB isn’t exactly subtle and may put him on her radar. I still feel somewhat unsatisfied with this. I think more info on Sera or what Okiya knows is needed.

This is a theory that I originally posted in the DCTP forum (link = http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=5901.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As many of you may have noticed, a whole lot of clues about Sera's identity have been given throughout the past four chapters (Files 768-771). If you put the clues together, an interesting possibility emerges: Sera is an FBI agent. The following are the steps I took to arrive at this conclusion along with facts and evidence to support them: Sera Works For an Espionage-Related Organization In File 769, Sera suggests that she has sharp ears "due to her line of work" (pg 2), suggesting that she works for an organization that involves stealth and information gathering. She also suggests that she has witnessed "innumerable" jumper suicide scenes (pg 3), suggesting that the organization she works for also involves dealing with homicide cases. Sera Has Detailed Knowledge of the Japanese Police Force In File 773, just by noticing a flickering light outside the Detective Agency windows, Sera recognizes the presence of the police, the number and name of their units, their tactical positions, and their plan to defeat the bomber in a very short amount of time. She also goes as far as to help them in their plan by luring the bomber to the window to allow the snipers to shoot him (much like how a normal police officer would act). The source of her knowledge and expertise is unknown. Sera is Highly Skilled in Martial Arts and Deductive Reasoning Sera displayed her skill in martial arts in File 768 when she counter-attacked Ran (who is an exceptional martial artist herself). She displayed her deductive abilities in File 769 when she deduced that the jumper-suicide was actually a homicide disguised as a suicide. Sera is a Japanese-American That Moved Back to Japan Recently In File 771, Sera tells her classmates that she moved back to Japan after living in the United States with her parents for a period of 3 years (pg 2). Apparently, the reason for her return to Japan is that it is "easier to be a detective", suggesting that she is working on some sort of case. Sera Has a Possible Connection to "Deceased" FBI Agent Akai Shuuichi In File 771, when scolded for his actions in the previous case by Haibara, Conan says that Sera is "not an enemy" because she resembles someone he met before (pg 11). Conan has previously worked with Akai during the Clash of the Red and Black. Sera physically resembles Akai (compare the two faces, especially the eyes) who is also a Japanese-American. Also, as some people have mentioned, the name "Sera Masumi" is very similar to the name "Sayla Mass" (Seira Masu), who is Char Aznable's younger sister in the Gundam Wing anime franchise (Akai is named after Char Aznable himself). Also, Sera mentioned that she moved to America three years before the current timeline; this was around the same time when Akai infiltrated the Black Organization as "Morobashi Dai". Sera is Investigating Conan Interestingly, Sera seems to know Conan's name as well as the fact that he is a "detective" despite it being their first time meeting each other. She also knew Ran as well as Professor Agasa (file 771). The source of this information is unclear, however, Haibara points out that Conan's name has come up in newspapers due to his battles with Kaito Kid. She also goes as far as to purposely get her deduction wrong in order to let Conan solve the case himself, probably to test his deductive abilities. In File 771, she shows extreme interest in meeting Conan face-to-face, and alludes to the fact that Conan is the "brain" behind Kogorou's deductions. In File 773, she hints to Ran about the connection between Conan and Shinichi, possibly meaning that she knows or suspects Conan's identity. The reason and motive behind her investigation are unclear, however, it is possible that she is investigating Conan because he had contact with Akai shortly before he "died". Putting the Pieces Together: Sera works for an espionage-related organization and has exceptional skills in martial arts and deductive reasoning. Her skills in martial arts and deductive reasoning might have been obtained while she trained and worked for the organization. She is willing to have criminals killed (like she did with the bomber in file 773), probably due to the fact she witnessed countless deaths during her work in this organization. This organization is most likely the FBI, due to the fact that Sera lived in America recently (the FBI is an American organization) and has a possible connection to a "former" FBI agent (Akai). She moved to America 3 years before the current timeline; this was the same time in which Akai infiltrated the Black Organization, meaning that the reason for her move to America is probably related to this (perhaps she took the FBI's Witness Protection Program to stay safe from danger). She moved back to Japan to work on a case; this case is most likely investigating the "death" of her relative/comrade, Akai Shuuichi. She has detailed knowledge of the Japanese Police Force; she might have received this information from her fellow agents in Japan to prepare herself for her investigation. The reason for her investigation would probably be that she has suspicions surrounding the circumstances of his death (similar to how Jodie felt). This would also explain why she is investigating Conan; he is the second-last person to have contact with Akai before he died (the last being Rena Mizunashi/Kir) and is likely to have information on what went down. COUNTER-THEORIES: "Sera is Too Young to be An FBI Agent" - Sera's True Age Has Not Been Revealed Many of you have been arguing that Sera might be too young to be part of such a high-level organization. However, even though Sera showed up in Ran's class as a high school student, her true age (as well as her identity) has not been confirmed; assuming that she's an FBI agent, she could have forged the papers necessary to register for school, which would allow her to act as a high school student. I would also like to mention that Jodie Starling (a current FBI agent) is around 28-29 years old, and has been a member for at least 5 years (it was shown in flashbacks that she was a member during Akai's time in the Black Organization), making it possible for a young woman such as Sera to join as well. "Sera is a Black Organization Member" - Not Likely Some of you have mentioned that Sera could also be a member of the Black Organization. This theory is not very likely, due to the fact that Sera publicly worked with the police to solve a case (Files 768-770). If Sera was called in for questioning by the police, her identity as well as her involvement in the organization would have been exposed. If she was a BO agent, she would have a certain cover/identity; this identity can easily be exposed if she was questioned and interrogated by the police (for example, if she was a BO agent and an undercover high school student, the police can expose her identity by revealing her true age). This is out of character for the organization, as they would avoid contact with law enforcement during their work (similar to how Gin and Vodka acted in the first chapter of the series). "What if Sera's identity as an FBI agent was exposed?" - Easily Excusable If Sera is an FBI agent and came to Japan to work on a mission, her identity could be exposed. However, this is not an issue because Sera can make an excuse for her stay in Japan such as visiting a relative, vacation from work, or going back to high school to finish her education. Jodie and Camel did the same thing when they were uncovered by Takagi and Megure during the Clash of the Red and Black (File 606). I hope you enjoy my theory, and please feel free to leave comments and/or counter-theories to prove me wrong.

Shinichi/ Ran : Def the best couple their relationship is soooo sweet >o< Heiji/Kazuha : LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL The best couple for comic reilef. SOOO FUNNY!!!
