Second link. http://ddnavi.com/news/191132/ The beginning says that with Ijigen no Sniper, it’s the first time that a movie will have a profound interconnection with the manga. Gonna have to watch that. This one was harder to translate. Full of crazy news, though; but many were already reported by The Black Demon. 【青山】「“あのネタ”をやるなら、リンクさせたほうがいいと思ったんです。そのネタは秘密なんですけど。いや……、“あの人”の正体がわかるというね」 (Aoyama) tn: I don’t know what he’s saying exactly. Attempted translation: “If I were to spoil “that”, I thought it’d be good to make them link. That information is secret though. Rather… you’d find out that person’s real identity.” tn: he says ano hito, not ano kata, so I’m not sure who he’s talking about… 　えっ！　さらっと重要なこと言いましたよね！？ (interviewer?) Eh!? You just said something important without hesitation!? 【青山】「今、描いていて楽しいのは、世良かな」 Right now, Sera is fun to write. tn: yes he jumps from one topic to another randomly, these interviews are weird 　世良は赤井の妹ではないかと疑われており、コナンとも過去に関係があったらしい不可解な人物だ。彼女も今後の展開を大きく左右する存在であろう。一方ファンの間では、80巻に登場し名推理を披露した将棋棋士・羽田秀吉も、キーパーソンなのではと話題になっている。 (interviewer) She’s suspected of being Akai’s sister, and it seems like she’s related with Conan from the past, a mysterious person. She’ll probably influence future developments in a big way. The fans also think that Haneda Shūkichi is a key person. 【青山】「彼はねえ、なかなか複雑ですよ。これからも出てきます。今度、名人戦の取材に行きますしね。羽田の“羽”は、羽生善治さんから取ったんですよ。原作では、“あの人”の正体以上のことが次々明らかになっていきますよ。まずね、安室透の本名が判明する。彼の回想になぜか灰原の母・エレーナも出てきてね。とある二人の母同士が姉妹だとわかったり……。いろいろなことがつながりますね。まずいなあ、しゃべりすぎです。まあ、連載を楽しみにしてください」 Well, he is… quite complex. He’ll appear from now on too. Soon, I’ll go collect data at the professional shogi players' championship series. Haneda’s “Hane” comes from Yoshiharu Habu (tn: the kanji 羽 can be read both “Hane” and just “Ha”). In the manga, things like “that person’s” real identity and even more will be revelead one after the other. (tn: again, “ano hito”, not “ano kata”, so I’m not sure he’s talking about the boss, that would be insane…) First, Amuro Tōru’s real name will be revealed. Then, why did he think of Haibara’s mother, Elena, will also be explained. (tn: not sure about this phrase.) Two mothers will also be revealed as being sisters, etc.…… A lot of things are connected together. This is bad, I’m talking too much. Well, please look forward to the manga. 　どうか！　どうか、あと二つ質問させてください！　黒ずくめの組織の目的とはナニ？　APTX4869の作用から考えると、不老不死が怪しいのでは……。 Please! Please, let me ask 2 more questions! What is the BO’s goal? Going by the APTX4869, I would think immortality… 【青山】「違います。確かにそう思っちゃうよね。今ね、組織の中では大変なことが起こっていますよ」 That’s wrong. It’s true that you’d think that, isn’t it? You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization. 　え―っ、すごい気になる！　では、誰もが知りたい最大の謎。黒ずくめの組織のボス“あの方”とは誰ですか？　阿笠博士はかなり以前から取り沙汰され、青山は公式に否定している。コナンの父・工藤優作も有力候補の一人だが。 Eeeh, I’m super curious! Then, the question everyone wants answered. Who is Anokata? (tn: used “ano kata” this time, not “hito”.) Agasa Hakase was being rumored for a long time, but you have officially denied it. Conan’s father, Kudō Yūsaku is also a very big contender… 【青山】「優作も違います。もう決めました。これからは、“あの方”の質問は受け付けません！　だってわかっちゃったらつまらないでしょ。読者の皆さんと俺で、これからも推理合戦をしましょう！」―― Yūsaku is also wrong. Now I’ve decided. From now on, I will never accept questions about “Anokata”! (tn: not “ano hito” this time.) I mean, it would be no fun if it was figured out. Readers, let’s continue our deduction battle! And again it says at the end that the actual magazine has a lot more info. Does anyone know where we could find it?

Conan needs to save Ran from a 60 meter tall sunflower that kicked a hole in Kogoro's detective agency. ^confirmed.

Just in case you haven't seen these pictures Wakarimashita posted: From DCTP Also here are some non-culprit-identifying end-of-the-movie spoilers about Okiya's involvement in the plot and how the Akai bit works. I'm not sure about the exact chronological order of events.

893 out in Japanese. Chekhov’s explanation of handedness was a bit off. I’m always interested in this kind of thing because I keep hearing differing opinions by same-handed people on how they draw circles.

Investigate Akai is Bourbon personal goal (He hates Akai). There is no confirmation what the order is (Kir said they hunt for Sherry, but if they lie to her we won't know for sure, either investigate Kir, or Akai). . Prove that Akai is alive is kill two birds with one stone. You uncover both Kir and Akai. Aside, how can you ask FBIs if Kir is a traitor or not. Pretty easy when i think about it. Have Vermouth as Kir called Jodie like it happen, informs Jodie of something random. If Jodie did not ask "Why did you tell me this?" mean Kir is a traitor.

Thanks a lot alaktorn!!!

Here's an idea that doesn't seem to have been proposed before: Genji Kojima. (Genta's father.) Sure, take a second to laugh if you'd like, but he fits. He owns a liquor store/bar. (I seem to remember seeing both, so one is likely a case of bad subs.) If his age has been affected like Vermouth's has, it could explain why he speaks in an old dialect. I don't know when his name was first mentioned - though IIRC it was somewhat earlier on - yet he didn't appear until episode 551/chapter 658. (Wiki link) I'm getting ready to rewatch the case he appears in now, just to see if I can pick up on anything else. Naturally in all likelyhood it isn't him, but I wasn't going to let it be overlooked. Edit: A few things did jump out at me after watching it again, some that would seem to support the theory and others that would seem to oppose it. For: He purposefully changes the way he speaks, reveiling his normal speech to be a facade when he gets in a fight with the culprit. He wears glasses and squints his eyes during the case, despite not usually wearing glasses. (Keep in mind that both Shinichi and Akai turned to glasses when they needed to hide their identities, so this could be a clue by Gosho or simply something he likes to use to complete a dsguise.) Maybes: He seemed to be proficient in some sort of martial art, as he was able to knock the culprit to the floor in an instant and pin him down. However, it was a surprise attack, so that may be meaningless. Genta says his dad is combative, honest, and hates dishonorable things, and the idea that his dad is a good person is really pushed throughout the whole episode, almost so much to make me think the opposite. Add to that the extreme aggressiveness and intimidation of the scene where he picks a fight with the culprit, and the above seems even more suspicious. His favorite song is apparently Kuroda Bushi. I have no idea what this would translate to, and it's likely meaningless, but the fact that his favorite song was included when the only clue we have as to the Boss' identity is a song struck me as odd. (And at the same time, for all I know Nanatsu no ko and Kuroda Bushi could share the same notes, the same way Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is also the Alphabet Song and Bah Bah Black Sheep.) He wasn't interested in winning the sizable cash prize, but instead in the boar scroll. The scroll was worth more than the cash prize, but the reasons he gave for wanting the scroll were that he simply liked boars, and that the artist's name sounded like "thank you". It's kind of hard to believe that that alone could make the scroll seem more valuable to him than the cash prize, assuming he didn't know the value of the scroll. There was also a bit of a story/legend behind the scroll, which was of a set of three. Supposedly, having all three scrolls would gaurantee good fortune and success. While even I think this is unlikely to be a story that'd catch the Org.'s eye, they also seemed interested in the tale of the immortality arrow. Against: All of the talk of Genta's dad being honest and honorable could just as easily be true as not, making him a poor boss candidate. While only briefly, Haibara (along with the rest of the Detective Boys, Conan and Hakase) does walk with him, even if she does stay a few paces back as per usual. Her Black Org. sense never kicks in, and he doesn't seem to recognize her. (And she isn't dead, so...) While he was masking his typical way of speaking and wearing glasses that forced him to squint, he was still planning on going on T.V., which would seem like something that an overly cautious person wouldn't do. Well, that's all I could gather at least. Anyone have anything else to add?
