Today, April 10th, is the third anniversary of none other than Detective Conan World!! It's so shocking how much of a long way we've come. Three years ago on this date, Maurice started up a little website that had a tiny forum and an even tinier wiki. Originally the main page was in a blog format, but it wasn't until later that Maurice changed everything to what most of you know now. I still remember the original forum layout we had, back when the only active folks here were me, Maurice, Southpaw, and lashedcheek. What an amazing difference three years makes. It wasn't long before we received recognition on other places, including support from The Detective Conan Translation Project, especially from Jd-, who has given me lots of moral support from even when the place first started out, and has lent a helping hand in many of our projects (with the favor returned from DCW to DCTP as well). Hard to believe that in three years, we've gotten so many excellent projects completed on this little website: - Two translated chapter works by Gosho Aoyama (one of them an un-translated Magic Kaito chapter that, with our help, finally got the release it deserved, and another work is the original Magic Kaito prototype) - This incredible fan-community. The little forum that could, its active-ness putting this community into the upper-level in the Detective Conan fandom. - An amazing wiki that is full of excellent and organized information, including theories and analysis, that just keeps growing as the days go by. - The podcast that I work on with the help of so many other people, a podcast that is gaining tract in the fandom and popularity amongst many folks from all places.And that's not even counting tons of other things that are in the works here at DCW!! I would most like to thank Maurice though. Without Maurice, this website isn't even a website. While Maurice may not be as active on this forum as he used to be, he still drops in to check if things are alright, and still works hard to add features and exciting new things to this little community here.I would just like to thank all of you for supporting the site through Facebook, Twitter, the wiki, our podcasts, and other places!! Keep up the support and keep sticking with us, because, as Frank Sinatra once so beautifully put it: Thank you for your support, from all of us at Detective Conan World!!

I've decided to allow commenting in thread. In the event that I need more space I'll request a mod split the topic for discussion and reference. However for now, I'm opening the thread for comment and critique. This is especially for the APTX analysis. Welcome one and all to Kyuu's Detective Conan Toxicology thread! I will be posting analysis of the drugs and toxins found in DC that have been used in conjunction with cases (Yes, that includes APTX). There are THREE CATEGORIES of drugs that I'll be doing: 1) Real (Drugs and Toxins that were 100% identified by the series.) 2) Theoretical (APTX basically) 3) Semi-theoretical (Drugs that are possible IRL, but are not identified by Gosho, and can be determined to some degree of accuracy using the information in manga canon) (unnamed poisons and Conan's tranquilizer mostly) Key Terms that you will need to know and understand before reading my analysis: LD50 - Dosage of a toxic agent that will cause death in 50% of treated animals LC50 - Concentration of a toxic agent that will cause death in 50% of the treated animals T1/2 - Biological half-life. How long it takes the concentration in the biological system to be halved. LOAEL - Lowest observable adverse effect level. The amount of a toxin that causes an observable negative effect (your basic symptoms of poisoning without dying, if you have ever seen a drug commercial, you should know most of them) Bioavailability - How much of a drug reaches circulation unchanged in a biological system. IV is always 100% bioavailability, as it is direct to circulatory system. ADME - Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion Absorption - How a drug is/can be administered Distribution - how a drug is distributed throughout the body (and what barriers it needs to pass) Metabolism - how the drug is metabolized by the biological system Excretion - how the drug is expelled from the body Those are the main, if I come to a point where I need to explain the more complex terms, I shall append them. I will make every effort to make this easy to read and understand for all. Drugs will be completely analyzed most likely using Toxnet a lot. I'll be using some other resources as well as needed. Everything will be fully referenced. If you use this information for any reason, PLEASE do the same. The drugs currently in planned to be analyzed are: (links will be added as analysis are done) APTX Tetrodotoxin Potassium Cyanide Sea Snake Venom (erabutoxin) Curare (possibly from poison dart case) Batrachotoxin (possibly from the poison dart case) Chlorine Potassium Chloride Phosphoric Acid Carbon Monoxide Aconitine (by Kjeldahl) More may be added as I reread the chapters and watch the episodes that the ones omitted appeared in while I look everything up. If you want clarification please PM or leave comment on my profile. If you wish to critique feel free to do it in topic. Also, this is being done on my own time, so I'm not sure how many I can/will get done. The ones that I am sure of are the top 3, and Carbon Monoxide. Everything else depends on my time and schedule. That all said, I hope you all enjoy this new project of mine and find it illuminating.

If I know how to make videos, I'll do anything to create this clip of Gosho's boys. However this is best clip I bounce across so far in youtube. Not mine!! It's Kaitoukid1044. It's very catchy! I like to put this clip to my collection.

You act like she's somehow different from other teenage girls who have boys as friends that get harassed by everyone almost daily about how that boy is their boyfriend.
