the french are coming

LOL you really hoped that?Remember he wants to write more than 100 volumes of DC so it's clearly gonna be long,especially with the boring stories he's planning to do about the characters past. @BD:thank you so much again! I took a look at the SDB70+ and there are too many stupid questions,I guess nobody would like to translate that.seriously asking if Conan was the Boss XDXD

"Did I miss anything?" Misaki turned to look at Mari. But before she could answer, Aster jumped up, summersaulting through the air before falling onto the floor. What the hell? The girl watched in surprise and confusion as he got up and punched a wall. "Well, we need to capture KID," he said once it seemed that he had gotten whatever caused him to randomly act the way he did out of his system. "We need a net of course. We also have a stun gun and ammo is out of the question, I'd rather not say what all I carry in case I frighten you. But I know we won't find out much just by being here. Let's all exchange numbers and set our GPS on. We'll create a group and the person who spots him or her will send a message alerting us of their location. I trust everyone has cellphones?" The singer gave a nod, though she wasn't quite sure about this plan. Well, it's not like we have anything better... Aster looked apologetically at Azura, who Misaki saw frowning, before looking at Mari. "I'm not forcing anyone for this, you can all refuse, really. Do mind that I expect a better strategy from the ones who disapprove if we are to have no plan at all. I am stupid more than I should be." "Well, I do not know about the others, but this plan works fine with me. But should we all look for KID on our own or go with other people so the person who spots KID will not be alone?" she said, asking between bites of food.

Here's an alternate link for the Chinese translation of SDB60+. I'll use the second one because it seems to be the source (the translation is the same anyway). There're some questions I don't quite understand but they're the more unimportant ones. Most are very trivial/useless questions so I won't go into detail. Notes: [TL note] = Note from the original Chinese translator [bD note] = My note Interview (Status: 71/71 - Completed) 1. I want to see Yukiko sing "いないいないばあ" to Conan! [TL note: 『いないいないばあっ!』is a famous NHK programme] A: You do? (laugh) 2. Why does Akai always wear cap? A: Because it's his trademark. 3. We haven't learned about Takagi's private life and past yet!

The characters use different first person pronouns like "オレ" (ore - katakana), "俺" (ore - kanji), "わたし" (watashi - hiragana), "私" (watashi - kanji). Is there any special meaning behind this? A: Because the hiragana usage of "watashi" is really cute. I learned to make high school students use "ore" from Adachi-sensei [TL note: Adachi Mitsuru] 12. Will there be any more shrunken victim of APTX4869? A: Ha ha ha... (laugh) 13. Why must APTX4869 be in the form of capsules, but not tablets or powder? A: Because "AKIRA" feels cool.

[bD note: Is that the term?] A: I want to see it too. (laugh) 20. Are Agasa's inventions increasing in number? A: They are, I'll introduce them when necessary. [bD note: Not sure about this one] 21. Will there be any development with Prof. Agasa's love story? A: That would be quite interesting. 22. If Sonoko marries Makoto, will he become a live-in son-in-law of the Suzuki family? A: How to say this... (laugh) 23. Is Okiya even going to the academy? Why does he always seem to have so much leisure at home? A: Ahahaha... (laugh) 24.

Please tell me her bust size when she was Shiho! A: I'd like to know too. (laugh) 26. It is said that those with bad visual acuity will also have bad dynamic visual acuity.

A: Heiji would be pretty good, but that's not the case with Sonoko! (laugh) 31. Will Yumi and Shuukichi reunite? A: I'm planning to draw about it in the near future. [bD note: He probably did with the recent Shogi case] 32. I extremely like Ran. I want to become someone like her, how can I do it? A: First make your hair look like a pointy horn... That's impossible right? (laugh) 33. How did Ran and Sonoko become close friends? A: I definitely want to write that story. 34. Will there be a story involving the police academy? A: I'll probably write it in the future. 35: The DB won't have any new member? I want new member(s). A: If there was it would be quite troublesome to draw. (laugh) 36. In the mermaid case, the name "Shiho Miyano" was shown among the guest list, then Conan thought to himself "She doesn't look like the type to pursue eternal life and youth."

A: Do animation works for the anime, draw for the movies. Boss (Note: Not part of the interview above but presumably also comes from SDB60+) Inside the Org., there is a boss who is called "That person". This person hasn't appeared in front of Conan. Their name and gender are still mysteries. The only known information is "dialing the Boss' email address will create the sound of 'Nanatsu no Ko'". Okay so I need a second (and probably third) opinion with this one. Technically, the line's literal meaning (at least judging from the Chinese translation) is "hasn't appeared in front of Conan". However, I wonder if we can simply assume that there aren't any ambiguities behind it. Therefore, I'll copy the original text over here (this is hidden content that only registered users can see, but you can check the book if you've bought it): 組織には、「あの方」と呼ばれるボスが存在する事がわかっている。コナンの前に姿を現した事はなく、名前も性別も謎。ボスのメールアドレスを打つと『七つの子』の音階になる事だけは確実な情報だ。 Is there any chance what the publisher wanted to say is "the boss hasn't reveal their identity/true color in front of Conan", rather than "the boss is someone Conan has never met face-to-face", because the latter will rule out 98% of the cast. Also note that this is just a summary of the boss in the book, not what Gosho said directly.

I have been here the whole time, just no commenting on files. I have to update all my old theory stuff. Some interesting points about Sera being British have been brought up that are worth taking into consideration. I still have not heard convincing proof about the child being Sera's mom btw, but I haven't read all the latest theories.
