the fan of Coai doesn't necessary think they are going to end up together.Most of them are realistic and are sure it will be Shinran in the end. The thing is that Coai interactions are so interesting and funny that some people have more fun watching them together than watching Shinran.This is why so many people support them. It is the same thing with KaitoxShinichi,there are many fans of them,but we all know that will never happen.If you are entertained by something,you will support it even if it's not canon.^^

Thanks a lot Alaktorn ^^ In the DCTP forum there are 2 questions translated, that I didn't see here: From Spimer: source: http://hello.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/wcomic/1418037043/l50 it's actually that text: "First red box: Q: "Who's the smartest of them? Sister outside the domain, Jodie, Miyano Elena, Vermouth" --> Miyano Elena A: "Miyano Elena is the smartest. Since she's creating an incredible drug." Q: "Regarding Vermouth and ?'s voice." A: "Vermouth's disguising skills are incredible, anyway." Second red box: Q: "How about you write an extra chapter/s about Haibara?" Showing either: when her parents were alive, when she was in America, her relationship with Gin when she was in the Organization, after the last episode --> Her relationship with Gin A: Before announcing the correct one, Aoyama said that because "Everyone (choose) what they were interested into" then the remaining ones should all guess that that "relationship with Gin" is chosen. The respondents (people to reply to) don't decrease. Sorry if this second segment feels confusing to read: Aoyama's answer and the ensuing description are somewhat complicated."

I’m just gonna copy-paste the post with the translations here because it’s a new page so it’s easier to see. Some things of importance in here. Ｑ１：青山先生の自画像は梨がモチーフ？ Ａ：あれは茄子。 Q1: Is your self-portrait based on a pear? A: It’s an eggplant. I think it’s referring to this: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/images/0/01/Aoyama_22.jpg Ｑ２：鈴木史朗と次郎吉の関係。最初二人は従兄弟設定だが、現在、園子は次郎吉の姪設定。 Ａ：説明がめんどくさかったから,、姪っこにしちゃった。（姪が正しい） Q2: Suzuki Shirō’s and Jirokichi’s relation. In the beginning they were cousins; presently, Sonoko is Jirokichi’s niece. A: The explanation was bothersome, so I made her a niece. (Niece is correct.) So I guess in the currrent setting Jirokichi and Shirō are brothers? http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Suzuki_family Ｑ３：今の子供達に作品を通して感じ取ってもらいたいと考えているか？ Ａ：夢を持って諦めないこと。 The stuff about what he wants kids to get from Conan, to have dreams and not give up. Ｑ４：ジンが乗ってるポルシェの番号はどうやって考えたのか？ Ａ：あれがかっこいいからした。ゴロだとかなんとか思っちゃうけど、ない。 Q4: How did you think up of Gin’s Porsche’s number? A: I made it that because it’s cool. *something I don’t understand* I think they’re talking about the model number 356A: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Cars#Gin.27s_Porsche_356A Ｑ５：（伊達刑事について）ナタリーさんのこととか知らないのに、高木刑事に任せたのは本当に指輪のことだけなのか？ Ａ：たぶん高木なら手帳の中を見てナタリーに行き着くだろうと。指輪を渡してナタリーをよろしくってことだった。 Q5: (About detective Date) Even though he doesn’t even know about Natalie, is the thing he entrusted to detective Takagi really just that ring? TN: the first part is maybe in past tense “didn’t even know about Natalie”. A: He probably thought Takagi would be able to arrive at Natalie after looking at the notebook. It was a “I’m leaving it in your care” thing. From this I don’t see any particular mystery motives or anything to do with the BO. Ｑ５追記 まだ深読みしていいってことですね？ そうですね！ Q5 postscript: Does that mean it’s ok to read too much into it? Yes! This came out of the blue, I don’t get it. I’ll try to finish translating these later on if no one else has. Btw there might be something more in this blog, linked in one of those Twitter: http://conan.vivicaru.net/ Edit: Ｑ６：緋色の真相でなぜ優作がアカデミー賞に行かなかったのか？（有希子が沖矢に変装すればいい） Ａ：身長。赤井秀一と優作は同じくらい。胸を掴まれて見られると予想してる。ブラとか見えたらマズイ。 Q6: During “Scarlet Truth”, why didn’t Yūsaku go to the academy awards? (Yukiko could’ve just disguised as Okiya.) A: Height. Akai Shūichi and Yūsaku are roughly the same. They were expecting that their chest would be grabbed for inspection. It would’ve been bad if a bra or something was seen. Ｑ７：コナンと怪盗キッド、どっちが好きですか？ Ａ：どっちも好き。同じくらい。 Q7: Between Conan and Kaitō Kid, who do you like? A: I like them both. Roughly the same amount. Ｑ８：赤井さんはなんでいつもニット帽を被ってるのか？ Ａ：好きなんでしょうね。 Q8: Why does Akai-san always wear a knitted hat? A: He probably likes it. 夏でもニット帽なんですか？ そうですね。 Even in Summer he wears a knitted hat? He does. Ｑ９：灰原哀が小さくなる前の、身長や誕生日など公表して頂けないでしょうか？ Ａ：まだ決めてないです。たぶん、エピソードに絡めてくると思いますので。 Q9: Could you tell us about Haibara’s height, birthday etc. from before she became small? A: I haven’t decided them yet. Because I’ll probably make it into an episode. Ｑ１０：佐藤警部補と宮元警部補、白鳥警部の年齢を教えてください。 Ａ：たぶんみんな28？オレのイメージ。由美と美和子は絶対同い年。 Q10: Please tell us the age of Satō, Miyamoto and Shiratori. A: They’re probably all 28? That’s my image. Yumi and Miwako are absolutely the same age. Miyamoto, written in different kanji on the wiki (should be checked): http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Yumi_Miyamoto チュウキチと同い年ですか？ あーどうなんでしょうね。ちょっと上か、同じかですね。 Same age as Chūkichi? Ah, I wonder. Maybe a bit older, or the same age. Ｑ１１：コナン君はすごいハードなアクションとかしてますけど、ちょっとありえないかなって動きって？ Ａ：大抵ありえないですね。あのスケボーアクションとかね。キック力増強シューズのスイッチ入れて～ Q11: Conan-kun does a lot of amazing actions, what do you think are movements that are a little improbable? A: Most of them. Like the things he does with the skateboard. Activate the kick-enhanching shoes and~ Ｑ１２：（鳥取砂丘コナン空港）コナン君と蘭ちゃんの絵で苦労したところは？ Ａ：Ｔマーク。あと、蘭ちゃんの髪の毛、結んでまとめてるの珍しい。 Q12: (About the Conan airport in Tottorisakyū) What was a hard part in the Conan-kun and Ran-chan picture? A: The T-mark. Also, Ran-chan’s hair; it’s rare for her to keep them tied. Best picture of it I could find: http://www.okinawatimes.co.jp/article_images/20150104/IMAG2015010308717_imh_03_r.jpg Ｑ１３：平次と和葉は東京に良く遊びにくるが、そのお金はどこから？ Ａ：おかんに貰ってる。和葉も平次も、どっちも親に貰ってる。 （質問者は青山先生の知り合いの娘）次の川中島の４話目？で携帯にその名前が出ます。（偶然） Q13: Heiji and Kazuha often visit Tōkyō but, where does that money come from? A: From their mothers. Kazuha and Heiji both, they’re getting them from their parents. (The questioner is the daughter of one of Aoyama-sensei’s acquaintances) In the next Kawanakajima, the fourth one ? that name appears in the cellphone. (Coincidence.) TN: Not sure what this last part means, I think the questioner saw her name in the manga and since she’s the daughter of someone Aoyama knows, she asked if it was on purpose, but it was a coincidence (not sure though). Ｑ１４：ボスのメアドで倉吉の市外局番など、鳥取のこと出してもらったりしてるんですけど、今後はないんでしょうか？ Ａ：倉吉の市外局番は偶然。機会があれば色々出そうと思います。 Q14: The boss’s e-mail address has a Kurayoshi area code, and you’ve told us about Tottori, but will there be any more info in future? A: Kurayoshi’s area code is a coincidence. If there’s the chance, I plan on revealing various things. TN: This is hard to translate. The word メアド is a shortening of メールアドレス which means “e-mail address”, but the word 市外局番 in a dictionary says “(telephone) area code”. I tried looking up the word and got here: http://www.denpa-data.com/annex/telephone/08.htm This is a list of area codes, and Kurayoshi’s is this: 0858-2x～6x 倉吉 倉吉市・東伯郡三朝町、湯梨浜町、北栄町、琴浦町・西伯郡大山町（旧中山町） Considering the boss’s number is #969#6261, I don’t know what this all means. I also asked 2 Japanese people what メアド referred to, if e-mail or SMS, and they both said e-mail. But I don’t really trust Japanese people to understand the western meaning of e-mail. Ｑ１５：青山剛昌が先生がしてみたいコスプレキャラは？ Ａ：白い奴。 Q15: Who does Aoyama Gōshō-sensei want to cosplay? A: The white guy. TN: (Kaitō Kid.) Ｑ１６：（天国のカウントダウンで）蘭ちゃんだけは10年後は映画の中では見れてない。大人になった姿を見れる機会はありますでしょうか。 Ａ：あ...るかな。あ、あ～ありますね。そういえば。 The question of whether we’ll see Ran in 10 years from now. A: There… will there be, I wonder? Ah, ah! There will be. Now that I think about it. Ｑ１７：キック力増強シューズ、今までダイヤル式だったのが、気づいたらタッチ式になってたんですけど。 Ａ：そうだったの？くるっと回すんだよ。たぶん間違い。回すほうが正しい。 The question of the shoes being a dial or touch. Dial is correct, touch a mistake. Ｑ１８：緋色シリーズでサンデーだと赤井さんの目が開いていたが、85巻だと閉じている。変更した理由は？ Ａ：やっぱ、開いて開けるほうがいいかなと。たぶん、キャメルがかたむき走行している時に赤井は頭を打ってる。 Something about Akai having his eyes open in a chapter of the Scarlet series, then closed in the one right after. Aoyama thought it was cooler a different way so made it different in the next chapter, nothing important. 車が傾いてる時、赤井さんどうなってるんですか？ かっこつけてる。 When the car goes on two wheels, what’s happening to Akai-san? He’s looking cool. TN: Not sure about this translation, but nothing important anyway.

All(?) Q&As in one place (special thanks to Ran 5-5 from DCTP Spoiler Cbox for sharing the link): https://twitter.com/conan_anokata I'm not sure if there's anything important that we haven't covered though. Ｑ１：青山先生の自画像は梨がモチーフ？ Ａ：あれは茄子。 Ｑ２：鈴木史朗と次郎吉の関係。最初二人は従兄弟設定だが、現在、園子は次郎吉の姪設定。 Ａ：説明がめんどくさかったから,、姪っこにしちゃった。（姪が正しい） Ｑ３：今の子供達に作品を通して感じ取ってもらいたいと考えているか？ Ａ：夢を持って諦めないこと。 Ｑ４：ジンが乗ってるポルシェの番号はどうやって考えたのか？ Ａ：あれがかっこいいからした。ゴロだとかなんとか思っちゃうけど、ない。 Ｑ５：（伊達刑事について）ナタリーさんのこととか知らないのに、高木刑事に任せたのは本当に指輪のことだけなのか？ Ａ：たぶん高木なら手帳の中を見てナタリーに行き着くだろうと。指輪を渡してナタリーをよろしくってことだった。 Ｑ５追記 まだ深読みしていいってことですね？ そうですね！ Ｑ６：緋色の真相でなぜ優作がアカデミー賞に行かなかったのか？（有希子が沖矢に変装すればいい） Ａ：身長。赤井秀一と優作は同じくらい。胸を掴まれて見られると予想してる。ブラとか見えたらマズイ。 Ｑ７：コナンと怪盗キッド、どっちが好きですか？ Ａ：どっちも好き。同じくらい。 Ｑ８：赤井さんはなんでいつもニット帽を被ってるのか？ Ａ：好きなんでしょうね。 夏でもニット帽なんですか？ そうですね。 Ｑ９：灰原哀が小さくなる前の、身長や誕生日など公表して頂けないでしょうか？ Ａ：まだ決めてないです。たぶん、エピソードに絡めてくると思いますので。 Ｑ１０：佐藤警部補と宮元警部補、白鳥警部の年齢を教えてください。 Ａ：たぶんみんな28？オレのイメージ。由美と美和子は絶対同い年。 チュウキチと同い年ですか？ あーどうなんでしょうね。ちょっと上か、同じかですね。 Ｑ１１：コナン君はすごいハードなアクションとかしてますけど、ちょっとありえないかなって動きって？ Ａ：大抵ありえないですね。あのスケボーアクションとかね。キック力増強シューズのスイッチ入れて～ Ｑ１２：（鳥取砂丘コナン空港）コナン君と蘭ちゃんの絵で苦労したところは？ Ａ：Ｔマーク。あと、蘭ちゃんの髪の毛、結んでまとめてるの珍しい。 Ｑ１３：平次と和葉は東京に良く遊びにくるが、そのお金はどこから？ Ａ：おかんに貰ってる。和葉も平次も、どっちも親に貰ってる。 （質問者は青山先生の知り合いの娘）次の川中島の４話目？で携帯にその名前が出ます。（偶然） Ｑ１４：ボスのメアドで倉吉の市外局番など、鳥取のこと出してもらったりしてるんですけど、今後はないんでしょうか？ Ａ：倉吉の市外局番は偶然。機会があれば色々出そうと思います。 Ｑ１５：青山剛昌が先生がしてみたいコスプレキャラは？ Ａ：白い奴。 Ｑ１６：（天国のカウントダウンで）蘭ちゃんだけは10年後は映画の中では見れてない。大人になった姿を見れる機会はありますでしょうか。 Ａ：あ...るかな。あ、あ～ありますね。そういえば。 Ｑ１７：キック力増強シューズ、今までダイヤル式だったのが、気づいたらタッチ式になってたんですけど。 Ａ：そうだったの？くるっと回すんだよ。たぶん間違い。回すほうが正しい。 Ｑ１８：緋色シリーズでサンデーだと赤井さんの目が開いていたが、85巻だと閉じている。変更した理由は？ Ａ：やっぱ、開いて開けるほうがいいかなと。たぶん、キャメルがかたむき走行している時に赤井は頭を打ってる。 車が傾いてる時、赤井さんどうなってるんですか？ かっこつけてる。

True, true! I think she does share traits with a lot of other characters. Ran is one of my favorite characters XD

^ why? shinichi has ran obsession too?! tsk tsk..why people always notice ran obsession of shinichi...taku!! ran haters! i have a gift for you this christmas!

Ran is actually my favorite character. To me she's a normal girl with a huge heart. What's wrong with her character is beyond me, considering I love her personality to be honest.. But what I mostly hear is that Ran's image is too "perfect". She flaws don't stick out enough as a character. I've heard people say they don't like how she cries over Shinichi so much. That they don't like her to show a highly above average 'wait' for Shinichi? Some don't like the idea that she's too Mary-Sue. Some don't like how she's too plain. Some just don't like her hair :V It's truly just a matter of preference people have in characters. Some don't like Ran since she's too girly, sensitive, or sweet. Some prefer or do like her character. End of story. Everyone just has a different point of view when they look at a character. I personally like Ran, so ehh. That's just how I see it. P.S. It doesn't matter if you're ConAi or ShinRan, it shouldn't really effect your feelings towards a character. If it does then I think that's nothing more than you being close-minded and bias :V

Actually, I think Ran's character is actually a loveable character. She fits to be a perfect wife in reality. Perhaps we need to rethink about her character from Japanese girl's point of view. Also, we need to understand that that this anime has been a pretty long series. At that particular point of time when her character has been established, her character was actually a portrayal of most normal girls in high school. And at that time, the idea that girls are weaker than guys are still around. Girls like her are more or less thought to be normal. So the idea to make her strong in something like karate was actually to make her a little less normal. However, now, the situation is totally different. People do not think like this anymore. Girls are now a lot stronger than they used to be. Therefore, looking at girls like RAN now makes her a very plain character. Her actions now are deemed irritating and annoying. However I will still support her! Just because this girl still possesses the values which I believe in. To me, a person is smart or cool or beautiful or weak in heart is not as important as what I deem to be a value. So I don't dislike her.

Maybe... Just maybe, if Ai hadn't made her debut then Ran wouldn't have been *hated*, since those two are ALWAYS being compared by fans. Some of them may go like this, "Ai is cooler, smarter, more suitable to be Shinichi's love interest..." while "Ran is too "angelic", too violent, macho, has low intelligence (not sure where do they take that from), blah blah blah...." *oh here comes the endless Ran-Ai wars~...* Have to admit Ran's a bit Mary Sue-like, but I have no reason to hate her. I love her even
