It will be called "Detective Conan Movie 16: The Eleventh Striker". And yes, its the official title. Which also means it will be based on Football and not baseball. Have a nice day

Here is a page by page analysis. If you curious about the last analysis and what has changed, see here. Page 1: cover Page 2: All of Kogoro's contradictions make sense in light of the role reversal of Fake Kei and the real Kei described in a previous post. Page 3: Fake Kei might not be too worried about the contents of the locker (money?) if she was willing to let the police have the key, or else she thought she could get to it faster than the police if she was able to leave early. The real Kei was probably interested though since he went as far as trying to recruit Mouri to find the locker. Kei paused on Amuro's question. The four days matches up with the time of the robbery because Ran says it hasn't been a week yet. The guy in the suitcase could be around that old too. If Real Kei has his cellphone screen background set to guy that may be the employee and Fake Kei, Real Kei and Fake Kei are likely acquainted. Real Kei's apartment door showed no signs of picking, which means Fake Kei was able to enter freely in order to plant bugging devices. This does create a contradiction though in the theory that Fake Kei pretended to be Mouri’s assistant. Unless Fake Kei disguised herself and flushed the disguise down the toilet, Real Kei would not have though she was an employee of Mouri’s because he would know her. Page 4: Megure has Fake Kei’s cellphone. The lack of messages proves this. Fake Kei cleared both it and the Real Kei’s phone contact lists, texts, and call history so the police would think the phone’s owners were opposite of the truth. Again, Kogoro’s contradictions are resolved by noting the scratches indicate a phone swap. The pile of money was likely stray cash from the robbery. The coins scratched the lighter and phone while they were in Real Kei’s pockets. Fake Kei planted the stun gun on him. Page 5: We are missing the rest of the roll of tape Fake Kei used to tie herself up. We are also missing Real Kei’s apartment key, which I assume Fake Kei has with her now. Maybe she was going to do something with the body in the suitcase before the police figured out “Kashitsuka Kei” was dreadlocks and investigates his apartment. The scratched lighter indicates the phone was likely the real Kei’s. Both Conan and Amuro should have noticed this but neither spoke up. I assume it’s because they lack definitive proof and wanted to force it out of her somehow. I’m still not quite sure how the bathroom trick worked. The damp towel corner implies maybe it was dunked in the toilet. The only reason for the towel to be close to the toilet I can think of is to block gunpowder if Kei was standing close to the Fake-Kei in order to pull the string attached the gun, but I’m still not sure. Fake Kei may have been able to wrap the lace around the gun (not knotted), and the friction of the knot held it in place for the pull (it works to hold up wet shoes and would work better if the lace was wet too) and she could loosen it quickly and let it drop to the ground once the trigger was pulled because it wasn’t in a knot. The timing of how much of herself was taped at a certain moment is a bit tricky because you have to explain why she shooed Mouri away from the bathroom at first and could use her cellphone to text him, but then finished the tape job by the time Conan ran to the toilet after the gunshot. Maybe she hadn’t bound her hands (but had done her body and mouth) by the time Conan and Kogoro first arrived, and then she finished her hands after shooing them away. I assume she pulled the string while completely bound using the towel to limit gunpowder residue, either while facing backwards or she performed a trick like the robbers at Teito to get her hands behind her back before Conan could reach the restroom. I think the first is more likely because it takes less time. Page 6: She can’t show ID because she isn’t the real Kei… Amuro clearly has the name trick figured because he presses to take her home and walk her up to her apartment as an excuse to investigate. Conan has this figured out too for that matter because he shows no surprise when he finds out she has a driver’s license on her later. Page 7: I wonder if it’s possible that Amuro would know Akai had a detective-like younger sister? Akai’s family cleared out three years ago and Amuro could probably get records, neighbor testimony, pictures, school info, and other information about them and their interests assuming Akai Shuuichi is Akai’s real name and the one his family was using while in Japan. However, the Akais are probably currently well hidden and in witness-protection, so finding them, getting recent pictures, and getting their fake names would be hard. Even if Bourbon knew Sera was in Japan now, he can't be absolutely sure who Megure is referring to unless he is tracking Sera already and knows she is the only female detective hanging around. Then again, Amuro might just be interested on principle. Mouri is very conveniently putting up the façade of knowing what he is doing by coming along. It gives Conan slight plausible deniability. Page 8: This is obviously Real Kei’s apartment, but I wonder if Fake Kei or the brother could have been staying there? As I pointed out earlier, there were no pick marks on the door, which means Fake Kei entered freely and was able to plant the bugs. This likely indicates Fake Kei and Real Kei were acquainted. Of course Conan faked going so he could take a look around and likely confirm the apartment’s owner…. Page 9: … Amuro and Mouri also have to go pee too, Amuro for the same reason as Conan. Again, Kogoro conveniently is providing plausible deniability for Conan because Amuro could assume Mouri is faking too just to see the apartment. There is a set of black shoes by the door. They are probably the suitcase man’s when he took them off when he came over to Real’s apartment. That likely implies he was admitted as an acquaintance (fellow bank robber) and then betrayed. Fake Kei knows her way around and even what Real has stocked for tea. This more detailed than someone just planting bugs would know, so she also has likely come over socially, and thus it is more evidence she and Real know each other. Page 10: The party is likely from the robbery success celebration. The table looks set for four to me because of the number of sitting spots and plates. This implies 3 robbers + Fake Kei, maybe. I won’t bank on it because it is pretty disorganized and the number of spaces may be off. Page 11: I wonder if Amuro hung up Ran's phone on purpose to goad Sera into appearing at the Detective Agency later out of worry because Ran was suddenly cut off. Ran did announce Sera's name out loud so Amuro would know it's not Ran's mom. If Sera was yelling loud enough for Amuro to hear what she was saying, which is definitely possible, he might guess she is the female detective Megure mentioned earlier. Only Black Org members have been shown to carry bug detectors around; no other detectives have been shown to keep bug detectors handy. It’s very convenient Amuro had one on him. He may have suspected Fake planted bugs to intercept Real’s communications and brought it with him, but it still means he had it in his car. Fake Kei did not want Amuro to find the bugs. As soon as that happened she tried to clear out. I assume that’s because they would find the body under the bed which would implicate her severely. Page 12: Conan forced Fake Kei to take him along so he could not inform the others that he left because the adults would realize it’s suspicious Fake is sneaking out. I’m surprised Amuro didn’t realize this and try to keep an eye on her too. He should smell the body too and guess what’s going on. He could have made a mistake or thought Conan might make a move to prevent her from leaving. Page 13: If there hasn’t been enough evidence Fake Kei is Fake, the license should do it. She has sleeping pills on her. I wonder if she gave some to Real, to keep him asleep after tazing him or if she just drugged his drink that she served him in the agency and kept the Tazer as backup. Page 14: That’s a pretty bare room. By now, Amuro really should have clued into the fact that Fake Kei is bad, she split, and Conan went with her and that he may be in danger. I really question why Amuro hasn’t said anything; he just isn’t very safety conscientious, made a serious mistake in deduction, or is testing Conan (and Kogoro by extension who should have also clued into the same facts). Even Hattori who knows Conan is Kudo and can take care of himself with the gadgets would have gone after Conan by now and ignored the bugs. Conan’s faking obviously. He knows she is bad, and not to take juice from murderers. Page 15: The Suitcase wasn’t locked. It was probably used for the robbery too. Page 16: As a reminder I think suitcase was admitted as an acquaintance (fellow bank robber) and then betrayed based on the shoes by the door. The dead guy was in the real Kei's apartment (I'm pretty sure she went to his place because it was bugged which is how she would know about his meeting with Mouri, also it would be too risky to go to her own place) so even though Fake Kei may have the grudge, it could be the real Kei killed suitcase dude and took the key from him - or infighting like that. Fake Kei may have only planted the bug inside the case. Fake Kei could be texting the last robber in order to finish her grudge. The final robber is either a skinny short guy or a woman based on the appearances of the robbers from the video (one obvious guy (Real Kei), and two androgynous (Suitcase and ?)) I am curious who -Amuro, Kogoro, Ran will decide to go after Conan first. The case doesn’t like it will have a resolution next chapter yet, although I imagine part of the mystery will be solved. I wonder if Subaru saw the broadcast?

I think this is my first time OFFICIALLY drawing Inuyasha (and actually colouring him xD) I'm proud of this drawing, even though I made many mistakes/messed up in many places...xP So, here it is~~ \o/ Inuyasha and Conan Enjoy~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^^

I don't think so :V Because Akai didn't save Akemi. And Ai was already crying and blaming Conan for that before. But since Conan didn't had enough info about the situation, she forgave him I guess. But Akai was in a different position. I think she would forgive him once he catches the BO, but I doubt she'll fall in love with him because of that. I think she'll always think of Akemi when she sees Akai D:

So far it's pretty clear that the current case relates to the robbery, the woman killed at least the first guy, and the woman is pretending to be the real Kei (Dreadlocks) to fool the police investigation and the detectives. (Phone switch, bugging, apartment, license, etc.) The issues remaining are: 0) Why did the Fake Kei need to intercept the real one at Kogoro's office instead of killing him elsewhere or something like that? 1) The trick and timing "Kei" used to kill dreadlocks Kei (towel with corner wet, laces with knots) and why she would have to shoo Mouri and Conan from the bathroom for a second at first before initiating the trick. 2) Who is the man in the photo? 3) Fake Kei's relationship to the robbery and the man in the photo. Is she one of the three robbers, a helper of the robbers, or someone related to the bank? 4) What's the real story behind Fake Kei's story about her dead brother? 5) Fake Kei's motive for the crime. Money, revenge? She didn't try to keep the locker key. Is it even the real locker key in police possession or did she switch it out for another? 6) Who is Fake Kei contacting on the Real Kei's phone and why? Where is she going? 7) What is going on between the robbers? Infighting? Why is the money in the locker somewhere if it is? 8) Why would the Real Kei need to find the locker in the first place, and how and where did he get the key for it without knowing which locker it is for? 9) Who killed the guy in the suitcase? What was the motive? Is suitcase guy one of the robbers? 10) What is Sera going to do now that she has been cut off from Ran? Did Subaru see the broadcast? etc... 11) What Amuro's behavior in this case so far implies about him.

You know... the two are not connected. There is something called "Copyright infringement." Basically Shogakukan and TMS don't want their property on the web, as that prevents people from BUYING. Why buy something when you can get it for free? So to prevent this they tell youtube, and what ever other service has their property on it and tell them to remove it or else a lawsuit will be brought up. Same reason why the Watch Section here is no more. This has been happening increasingly over the years, and has nothing to do with an isolated incident like a movie being leaked onto the net (which happens with every movie no matter what, which is why companies now HIRE people to search the internet to find their property and have it removed) As for Andyee, please refrain from asking... Even with the limited fan-base that DC has, it gets quite annoying when people continually ask for releases. We work at our own pace, and we put out a certain quality, a quality that we can be proud of. We are not a speedsub group, never have been and never will be, so they will come out when ready, and no sooner. Not to mention that most of us have lives, like school and work. DC is not our primary concern. DCTP would appreciate it if you and all other fans would exercise patience.

A monologue by page pg 1) Another new phone? I thought Conan wasn't allowed to have updates until they resolved the Akai's/Rikumichi's fingerprint ambiguity on his two old ones at the end of the Bourbon arc. pg 2) Two of the three robbers look like women based on their heights, with one taller man. I could be wrong though if we have a short slim guy suspect. The dead employee may be related to the current murder somehow, like a relative is out for revenge on the robbers. Maybe the employee was an inside assistant who was double crossed, but that sounds like a bad plan because it calls too much police attention to the crime when someone dies - better to betray outside of the case. pg 3) The new banknotes means the robbers need to find someone who can launder their cash for them. That’s a potential motive. I wonder how long Amuro has been working at Poirot chronologically? He seems to already know Mouri's habits. If he hasn't been there for long that might indicate some earlier sneaking about unless Asuza filled him in or something. I wonder if Amuro has bugged the agency, now that he has been in it? Is anyone else slightly disturbed about how Amuro invaded Kogoro's personal space? pg 4) Yoko.... typical, Kogoro. Conan knows programming now? He knows more than would be feasible for a teen his age, no matter the supergenius level. I hope no one tries to hack the page. pg 5) Pg 6) Shadow dude looks like a lady. Gosho does sometimes draw them with slight gender characteristics. I wonder if the shadowchick is upset over the number of people at the agency? Pg 7) Amuro is wearing black or (at least a dark color). Finding the locker has some at least minor time concern because the client’s story involved a desire to find whatever it was in the locker in time to “bury it with their dead elder brother.” A coin locker might be big enough to store the cash from the robbery. In this case, the key must have been taken from someone who had it before, but that person was unwilling (betrayed) or was unable (dead) to tell where it belonged. It is possible the robbers were betraying each other for a greater share of the cash. One took the cash and tried to split, but at least one of the others killed him (or incapacitated him) and/or took his key without knowing where it went. The key could belong to the dead employee, but if the employee was an insider he couldn’t have hidden the cash because he died in the robbery. Also what would the employee have that the robbers need in a locker. What if one of the robbers was a relative of the dead employee which lead to that person betraying the others after one of the others shot the employee? Pg 8,9) Pg 10) Besides the two in the bathroom, there may be a third person keeping watch from outside the agency doing the texting. It would be hard to text while tied up, and if the lady and Dreadlocks are two of the robbers, we still have a third person to consider. If the woman in the bathroom was texting without tape, they were at imminent risk of plan failure if Conan opened the door and caught her doing it. On the other hand, she may have been rushed given by her disclosing that she somehow knew that Kogoro had others with him in the text despite not meeting. Pg 11) Regarding the redirection mail, there could be two potential setups here. One is the simple redirection Amuro proposed, that a third party inserted themselves into communications between Kogoro and the client in order to meet with the client and pretend to be Kogoro's assistant in order to obtain the key or information from the client. This makes sense in light of the switching phone numbers. A second, less likely possibility is that a third party was in communication with the client in the first place and gave them fake contact info for Kogoro at the start. The client contacted the third party to arrange a meeting with “Kogoro” and then the third party had to come up with a case to get Kogoro out of the detective agency so they could use it for appearances. That doesn’t explain the phone switch, because the intercepting party should use the same phone number the whole time. Pg 12) The drag marks are interesting. A big young guy like Dreadlocks could have carried the chick, but not vice versa so easily. Maybe the chick used a taser to set the guy up on the toilet and prepare a murder trick to make it appear the guy committed suicide? She mentioned one later. Conan is showing off a little. Not too much yet, but enough to be noticeable. Pg 13) Chances are a fake suicide trick took a more than a split second to setup so the culprit chick planned in advance to kill the guy when Kogoro came back after not meeting the client to establish an alibi. If so, I wonder why she needed to text them to leave rather than execute the trick right away when they came in? Was she not quite done because they came back early after figuring out the message was from a different address? Pg 14) I’m surprised Amuro didn’t get to the door as fast as Conan. The grip on the gun looks sensible for a suicide through the mouth. It could also be triggered by someone pulling a shoelace so it pressures down the thumb. The bathroom location means things could have been flushed, although not right before the crime. We might also find another cellphone in the toilet with its data conveniently destroyed. Pg 15) Kashitsuka Kei is also a valid guy’s name. I know the chick said it was her name, but I wonder if that is true. Kei could be Dreadlocks and Kogoro's real client. It would make a lot of sense if the chick was the interceptor based on Amuro’s redirection scenario if she was the murderer, and the shadow person who looks a bit female to me. It also jives with the reason why Gosho introduced the webpage in this chapter: normally Kogoro gets voice calls on the phone which means he would know the gender of clients. A webpage removes even that info so the situation is ripe for a gender mistake. Taking the laces out of the lady's shoes is a bit suspicious because that is a lot of work just to keep someone from running away quickly, especially if you have tape and a stungun. Pg 16)

Is it a little too big? O.O If not, then yay! Anyways. My message: Remembrance Day. For all who died for a better world. Thank You. Arigatou. Merci. Gracias. My Devianart account is in the picture URL...Whoever sees it....tell me and I'll give you the link to it. : P

That's almost right. I pay for the domain, the hosting company, the increase in bandwidth (the site is getting more and more popular and requires more and more bandwidth to accommodate the traffic! We currently reach about 200K visits per month , which is a HUGE increase from our starting point 2 years ago, and even compared to one year ago when it was around 20-30K). I also pay for a separate server for the database to increase performance. I even paid for some advertising in the past, etc... Anyway, I won't tell everything here and give out too much information but let's just say that pretty much everything comes out of my pocket for now and donations do help out whenever they come by. Fortunately I have a job and I can pay the bills without any problems for now. As long as the site doesn't become as popular as Facebook, it should be ok. But it's true that donations could really help. Thanks again to our donators btw! I really appreciate the support. It's always great to see when people appreciate what's being done, not only by myself, but by the whole community with their amazing and exceptional contributions in all areas!

That's the first I've heard of this. I assume you mean it comes from taking the first kana of "Sherlock" and "Holmes"? Hell's Angel makes more sense English-wise. Haibara's Japanese translation of the nickname was literally "the angel which fell into hell".(V41-11 pg 12) Gosho's English is iffy, so it is better to use the Japanese sense. Basically instead of implying evilness, the nickname implies Elena is an angel, basically a good person, who fell into hell, The Black Organization. Her behavior on the tapes, all around nice, friendly, and loving, corroborates this. She probably earned the nickname because her goodness seemed out of place among the criminality and darkness or the rest of the Organization.Also copied from my speculation section about the Miyanos (For the most up to date version see this link.)
