THIS THREAD is used to discuss about SPOILERS. In other words, if you only read the English version and wish to wait for the official release instead of getting spoiled, this is NOT the right place for you! RULES OF THE SPOILER-ONLY DISCUSSION THREAD: 1. Any kind of spoiler involving the case (pictures, texts, information, full scans...) of any language that is released before the actual English version must be posted HERE. The English translations of the spoilers must also be posted here. Please DO NOT share them at the thread made for English-files readers only, in ANY form (NOT even in spoiler boxes). 2. Any kind of discussion involving the spoilers must be posted HERE. Please DO NOT reveal, give hints or talk about any information or event (that has not yet happened in the English releases) at the thread made for English-files readers only, in ANY form (NOT even in spoiler boxes). 3. Despite being a Spoiler-only thread, EVERY spoiler and discussion involving events that has not yet happened in the English releases STILL has to be put inside Spoiler boxes. When the mentioned file is officially released in English, this is not necessary anymore. 4. NO DIRECT LINK to Original Japanese scans (RAWs) or to ANY English manga scan because we don't want to have any problem with lawyers. (Japanese spoiler pictures are allowed as long as the amount and quality of which are very very far away from a full scan, like the ones we usually have). Q&A: ANYWAY, everyone should read this whole post carefully before posting or viewing anything. If you are mistaken for not paying attention to it, the creator of the thread, the moderators and every other forum members will NOT take any responsibility. 876 Chinese: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2643278827 Some translations: Page 3 (from 3rd panel): Ran: So, is your mother still living in America? Sera: Yeah, ever since I came back to Japan, I've been living alone at a hotel. I thought of living together with my second brother who's been in Japan the whole time, but he refused... Sonoko: But living at a hotel like that, don't tell me you're a girl from some rich family? Sera: My father has a friend who is always taking care of me, he's rich, but not as wealthy as Sonoko-kun. Sonoko: Is that so? Sera: I'm not acquainted with any other relative whom I can depend on... I think that after I grow up I'll definitely repay him properly. Conan (thinking): Three siblings, two are brothers. If she's not acquainted with any other relative... Page 4: Conan: Then who on earth is that person? Who's the girl looking a lot like Sera that appears on her cellphone's screen? NOTE: While the Chinese translation used the masculine pronoun "him", it's possible that it was a gender-neutral word in the original Japanese, so I'm not sure if Sera's friend is male. Also as you can see, there's another person hiding inside Sera's hotel apartment, probably inside the room where she didn't want Conan to enter. EDIT: The Chinese team has made some corrections to their translation: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2643854673, so I've changed mine too.

Conan has brought up the possibility the girl in the photo is not Sera. Usually when Conan drops hints like that it's a clear indication to follow the line of thought he is suggesting. I think the photo = Akai's mom, kid Akai Shuuichi theory is looking more likely. The only problem is who is the other person in Sera's apartment behind the door Sera didn't let Conan open, and who presumably opened the door where Conan dropped his bag? It could be the mystery kid... or Sera's mom? They look quite short, so it could definitely be the kid from the picture. They do look taller than Conan though. Regardless, Sera definitely lied about living alone to Conan, Ran, and Sonoko. Re some translation errors Black Demon: SOME TRANSLATION ERRORS REPORTED BY THE CHINESE STAFFS: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2643854673 Black Demon:Apparently it's her FATHER'S rich friend, not Sera's. Also, he's NOT as rich as Sonoko. James Black anyone?

Is anyone else getting this? It really was a blind buy for me but I'm already pleased with the pictures that have appeared online! *Is waiting for mine to arrive* http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2637467986 I didn't expect to see Kid holding onto his cheek!!

Crack theory: The Campbell family knows the Sera family - or they both know Billy - either I believe would fit the qualification of "rich" but not crazy rich like Sonoko's family. I wouldn't mind it because they're characters who have already appeared (or know those who have appeared). OT: I honestly think that having a larger set of reoccurring minor characters is what's missing. Conan has met a lot of people and while yes there's already a large cast, it doesn't have that aspect like in FMA where at the end they're all going to be supporting Conan in getting back his body. I always feel as if more "survivor" characters from past cases should appear like the Hatamoto's used to. Side note: Poor poor Sera!! There's going to be some major heartbreak later, knowing Gosho...

When you say "Ah-Le-Leee?" whenever you get stumped/confused by a math problem. When you whistle/hum the main DC theme song whenever you want to feel epic. When you start suspecting that your uber-smart little cousins are actually shrunken adults. When you try to deduce where someone's been/what someone does for a living based on their outer appearance. When you burn the midnight oil just to get your daily quota of DC... even if you have an important exam the next day. If you plan to go to Japan and amass all the DC memorabilia you can get your hands on. If you secretly keep your eyes peeled for a Porsche 356A while in the car.
