been reading the manga, here’s an old one I hadn’t translated わかったわ！7つ揃えるってドラゴンボールね！！ | I got it! Collecting all 7, that’s about Dragon Balls, right?! edit: seeing as the scanlation kept taikō untranslated, I left it as is too; only thing I’m not sure about is whether it should be singular or plural… 本物の太閤は将棋が弱かったらしいわよ・・・ | I’ve heard that real taikō were actually weak at shōgi… this one’s funny, about Conan and Jodie going derp (I think, or I’ve completely misunderstood it) 仕方ないじゃない！気抜いてたんだから・・・ | It couldn’t be helped! They lost focus… feel free to propose better wording than “they lost focus” if you can think of anything

I don't study Japanese, so my glossing is quite often wrong. Looking more into 画力対決, it seems to a specific expression for when one guy tries to draw another artist's character. Look at the image results for "画力対決". Maybe you can put it together as "Doesn't the Golgo (13) drawn at the redrawing showdown look like the younger brother (Juugo) Yokomizo?"

but what’s this artistic skill showdown about? で描いてた should mean “drawn there”, so Haibara is saying that the Golgo drawn at the artistic skill showdown looks a lot like Jūgo…?

It sounds like it's about an "artistic skill showdown" and "Golgo's depiction" referring to the main character Golgo 13 from the same named manga (ゴルゴ13 Gorugo Sātīn). The main character Golgo looks a bit like the younger Yokomizo brother, Jugo. ==== I would personally capitalize Taiko because it is a title and an exemplary nickname. You see the convention in the President (when referring to the current president), Alexander the Great, the First Lady, and the Oracle (of Delphi). It's a nitpicky English grammar point.

thanks for the help Chekhov 画力対決で描いてたゴルゴって、ひょっとして横溝弟なんじゃないかしら？ for this one I have no idea what the first part means (画力対決で描いてたゴルゴって) the latter is something like “isn’t it the younger brother Yokomizo?” other than that everything has been translated I’ll try asking my Japanese teacher about it this monday

Taikō is singular here because it is referring to the Taikō, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who Shuukichi is nicknamed after. I went ahead and fixed this one. As for the other one, lost focus or slacked off seems to be right. I think it's a reference to the beginning of file 856 when Conan figures out it was Bourbon and Vermouth at the shrine.

What I have for Eri not being the boss is The list I keep of stock arguments against certain chars You ran into an anime plothole. Do you remember the Bullet Train Episode where there was a bomb on board, and the two suspects looked like Gin and Vodka but weren't? In the original manga they were Gin and Vodka for real. One of people in charge of the animating team decided the Black Organization was appearing too often so they changed the real Gin and Vodka to lookalikes. The problem is that, in the manga, Conan bugged the two men's seats and learned their codenames were Gin and Vodka. Hearing those codenames is how Conan figured out Tequila was in the Black Org when Tequila called Vodka. The problem in the anime continuity was that Gin and Vodka were replaced with lookalikes, so Conan never learned their codenames. The animators had to fix that somehow so the scene with Tequila would work. The Japanese anime team simply ignored the problem and hoped no one would notice. The English dubbers changed Hattori's lines so that he could tell Conan about the Org. The truth is that Hattori didn't know about the Black Org at all in the manga until Conan told him about them.

you guys are SO MEAN to genta !! he's made that way cause he is a kid and he is hilarious oh come on !

Not the Boss list Part 2: Reasons why specific characters may not be the boss People Gosho has said are not the the boss in interviews: Agasa, Kudo Yuusaku, Conan, Ran, Vermouth, Shiratori, Fusae Kinoshita Campbell, James Black, Sonoko, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Samizu Kichiemon, Gin, Kuroba Toichi Eri is "not involved with the BO" This list details evidence and logic about why certain characters would not be the boss of the Black Organization (ano kata) along with the summaries about how good that evidence is. Strong (Very exculpatory) <---> Weak (not very exculpatory) Generally, the boss should not be anyone who has had more than passing contact with Haibara. The boss would recognize her and take action to silence her and those around her because, according to Haibara, the Organization's priorities are to keep secret first then do research. (Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 7: "The girl made of lies" - "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful.") Pisco, Vermouth, and Akai all identified Haibara as Shiho very quickly. The boss should be able to do so as well if he is familiar with her appearance. James Black - Word of Gosho says NO, formerly Strong - Alibi, failure to act on critical intelligence, contradictory behavior (Jodie Starling's arguments are close to identical) Agasa Hiroshi - Word of Gosho says NO, formerly Medium Strong - Failure to act on critical intelligence, contradictory behavior, endangers self. Gin - Word of Gosho says NO, formerly Medium - Contradictory behavior. Elena Miyano - Medium Weak - Backstory would exclude if true, contradictory behavior. Miyano Atsushi - Weak - Backstory would exclude if true, contradictory behavior. Kisaki Eri - Medium Strong - Gosho interview saying not involved with the BO, Contradictory behavior. Mouri Kogoro - Medium Strong - Failure to act on critical intelligence, contradictory behavior. Kudo Yuusaku - Word of Gosho says NO, formerly Medium Strong - Failure to act on critical intelligence, contradictory behavior. Okino Yoko - Medium Weak - Contradictory behavior. Miyano Akemi - Strong - Requires implausible situation, failure to act on critical intelligence, contradictory behavior. Inspector Momose and Inspector Yuminaga - Medium Weak - Failure to act on critical intelligence (Haibara) Yokomizo Sango and Juugo, and Yamamura Misao - Medium Weak - Failure to act on critical intelligence (Haibara) Karasuwa/Karasuma Renya (the dead crow guy from the gathered detectives vs. Kid case) - Weak - Backstory would exclude if true, contradictory behavior Suzuki Jirokichi - Medium Strong - Contradictory behavior (endangers self) Kaneshiro Genichirou (old man from Night Baron contest) - Weak - Minor contradictory behavior.
