I'll try to answer all: Items and things • What is in the P.S. of Akemi's last text message to Akai? Presumably she asked him to take care of Shiho as it is known that they were very close and Akai said that "he made a promise with her" and the promise concerns Shiho, however it's not 100% proven that the one he made a promise with is Akemi. • What (besides drug data) is on the bloody disk that Haibara lied about losing at the Haido City Hotel? I think it's some really important information about BO like their goals, some important agents and maybe some important facts about the boss. • What was the program about that Itakura couldn't complete for the sake of humanity? There's something that is trying to be achieved by technology (according to what my Biology teacher said once) and it's something related to immortality. It's saving all the information in our brain and nerve cells to put these in another person's body. This way, someone's ideas and memories could last forever and it will be something like being immortal. • What is the goal of the APTX 4869 project? Many people say that it was to de-age or to achieve immortality, but there's something strange about it: the fact that Gin said it was a venom. He used it to try to kill Shinichi, so he wouldn't have done that if it were that, as he obviously didn't want Shinichi to be immortal. I think Haibara said it was a nostrum to raise the dead so it could be more about resurrecting corpses. If the answer was that, it would be interesting to know what effects it would have on alive people. • What kind of drug is Silver Bullet? Is Silver Bullet a different/early name for the project called APTX 4869? I think it's something different, but after time it gradually changed and ended up in what we know as APTX4869 today. It could be raising the dead, deaging or achieving immortality. • Night Baron Virus - the Org used it once and it was in another case. What does it signify and is their more plot relevance to it? It's not really clear what it's about but there are some suspicious things about it. As a Greek man (don't remember his name) said, "don't put a gun in stage if you don't have the intention to shoot". If Gosho dedicated one whole case to the Night Baron virus and it later appears, it's clear that there are more relevant things about it. Besides, we can all agree about the fact that Conan noticed Kaneshirou wasn't really blind but this detail was never revealed at the case resolution, it was just hinted as he was seen running with his secretary (possibly Vermouth). Anyway, these things are not enough to say that he's the BO boss as we need more proof. Another interesting fact is that Gin and Vodka make a cameo in Conan's thoughts in this case so it's possibly something important. In the early chapters, something relating the BO occured when they were mentioned or remembered by Conan. • What happened to the handkerchief that Vermouth as Sharon gave Ran in the New York case? It must be somewhere in Shinichi's house. Maybe it's not something much important, but it contain some precious information like fingerprints, DNA, or whatever other things you can find in a handkerchief. I'm also intrigued by the fact that Rose Hewitt almost died but it wasn't revealed who prepaired the trick to make that knight disguise fall. • What else is on the four tapes left for Haibara by her parents? Why were certain portions blank? Don't really know what could be in the tapes so I'm going to skip this one. • Why were the BO at the mermaid island and are any of the names in the guestbook besides Sherry's, Gin's alias, and Vodka's alias important? (Some discussion is in the main boss thread) It's strongly presumed the BO tries to give immortality to its members so it could be they wanted to see if the arrows really worked. Plot people • Vermouth's aging issue, her connection to the Miyanos, and APTX4869 I have an idea in mind and it is that Sharon and Chris are actually two different people. Her ideas and memories could have been passed on to her daughter with a programme like the one I said Itakura was supposed to develop a few questions above. Of course, their fingerprints were the same but we know we can't trust Gosho when it comes to fingerprints (example: Akai and Kusuda). My guess is that Chris killed Sharon, or Sharon killed herself to have her brain in Chris' body. Why do I think this? Because of the way Sharon spoke about her daughter in the New York case. If they were the same people, she wouldn't have had to invent such things like disguising as her dead father and other things. Another idea is that she deages with some drugs from the BO and can't stop deaging or has become addict to these drugs. If she can't stop deaging but wants to, it would explain why she says depressing things, as she wants to be a mortal but is forced to keep deaging. It's clear that leading a life like hers can't be happy, when no angel has ever smiled upon her besides Ran. Perhaps she's the BO guinea pig. This can explain why she hates the Miyanos, as they were the ones who developed those drugs. • What is the reason for the antipathy between Sherry and Vermouth? Why does Vermouth hate the Miyanos? The Sherry-Vermouth rivalry can just be because both were Gin's couple. Anyway, Sherry dislikes Gin so probably it's not that as she wouldn't mind him having a relationship with Vermouth. I've already said why I think Vermouth hates the Miyanos right above. • Why is Vermouth the boss's favorite when she is somewhat treacherous? Perhaps because she's his/her guinea pig for the BO drugs. • What secret does Amuro know about the boss and Vermouth's relationship that he is using to blackmail her? (File 898) I don't know what it could be so I'll skip this as well. • "Silver bullets": What is Vermouth plotting by collecting people with the capability to destroy the Organization? I don't think she's collecting silver bullets, just casually finding them. However, she might hate the BO because she doesn't want to be immortal. • What is Vermouth's precise reason for hiding Shinichi and Shiho's deaging from the rest of the Organization? I think it's because Shinichi saved her once. • Where was Vermouth telephoning Itakura from that had a cat or something that sounds like one? Instead of an actual cat crying it could be a human whimpering because of pain or something like that, in case the BO was testing drugs on someone. • Why did Vermouth as Sharon and Itakura have a bad relationship? (Volume 78.) Perhaps Itakura didn't want the programme to exist, or it could be just because they have different personalities. • Jodie’s father - how did he find out about Vermouth and what did he find that forced Vermouth to take direct action, kill him, and burn his house down with all the evidence inside? I don't think we should pay too much attention to what did he knew, but maybe it was some important murders she committed or vital information about BO. • The husband of Vermouth as Sharon Vineyard - who is he? There are no hints about this so I'll also skip this one as I don't think it is very important. • Elena and Atsushi Miyano: their lives, their supposed death by accident that they seemed to know about in advance, their connection with Agasa In my opinion, the boss decided to get rid of them as they weren't necessary anymore as he/she did with Akemi. Shiho might be far more intelligent so if Atsushi and Elena weren't needed any longer getting rid of them wouldn't mean a big loss. It could also be that they were trying to reveal information about BO. Their connection with Agasa isn't very important, he could have just met him as they were both professors. • What secret thing did Miyano Atsushi want to tell Dejima Souhei, but was unable to, when he came to visit with his wife and Akemi 20 years ago? I'm not sure, maybe something about their research. • Shiho and Akemi: why their different fates within the org? One became a high ranked member, the other lived a more normal life. I think it was because Shiho was far smarter. • Why does the boss fear Akai is a silver bullet? He's really intelligent and always pursues justice. • Gin and Akai: how did the personal rivalry start when they probably hadn't met each other much if at all before Akai was ejected from the Org? It could be just because of their personalities. • If Jodie Starling went into the witness protection program, does that mean Jodie Starling is not her real name? If so what is it? Wasn't Jodie Starling her real name and Jodie Saintemillion the one from the witness protection program= • Amuro's past with Date They surely met in the Japanese Secret Police. • Amuro's past in the Organization and childhood connection to Elena Miyano Don't know pretty much what it could be so I'll skip this question. • Bourbon's promise with Vermouth (File 800 or so) Also skip this one. • How or why did the Secret Police agent known as Scotch die, and how was Akai Shuuichi related to his death? Perhaps Akai tried to save him when he was about to be killed and failed to do so. • Who was the mysterious man who staked out Akai's meeting with Gin that Camel ruined? Idk. • What is the connection between Gin and Sherry? Sherry hates him and Gin is abnormally attached to her. • What was Conan going to ask Ai after the showdown with Gin? "Hey… Could it be that when you were in the BO…". (Volume 24.) Maybe something about the drugs, but idk so this one will be skipped as well. • Shiho's foreshadowed meeting with Akai I don't remember when this happened. • What was Conan going to ask Haibara about at the end of Reunion with the Black Organization? (File 242) Isn't this question the same as two questions before? • Okiya's/Akai's promise with a certain woman. (Probably Akemi) To take care of Shiho. People • Agasa's mysterious friends/connections - to the Miyanos and to unknown parties. He's a professor so he might have met important people and science discussions or something similar. • Magic Kaito's Organization related to the Black Organization? How much of Magic Kaito's Pandora story will carry over to DC? I don't think they're related. If it were the case, DC and MK would have to finish at the same time as both will surely end with the fall of their organizations. It wouldn't be interesting to see the BO fall in MK if it has already happened in DC. • Toichi, Vermouth, and Yukiko - how did that master-apprenticeship start? I don't think this is something important to know. • Kogoro's absent past and relatives. What was he doing (besides romancing Eri), why did he decide to join the police in the first place when he seemed like a delinquent at school, why did he leave the force, who and where are Kogoro's family, and why do they never appear? I had never thought about this, but maybe some of the Mouris will appear in the future. Kogoro isn't a bad person and he seemed like a delinquent, I doubt he was really one. It's no big deal if he became a policeman. • Calvados: was he important for anything other than making Chianti and Korn angry at Vermouth? I think more about him will be revealed in the future. A BO member must have something interesting, I don't think he just appeared to commit suicide because it wouldn't be a shock to readers/viewers as he just a new character. • James Black: Does he have more relevance or a past? I think so. • Shizuka and Heizo Hattori: what are they doing, how are they connected to the story and why don't they come back? Connected to the story? They're just the parents of an important character, I don't there's much importance about them. • What is the relationship to the plot, if any, of minor recurring characters such as Okino Yoko, Sanada Kazumi, Azusa Enemoto, Akagi Hide, Osamu Kenzaki, etc...? Maybe some of them are relevant to the plot, maybe some of them are just minor characters. I think Yoko will be really important, as there was one episode in which crows appeared after she was being watched by Kogoro in TV. General issues (please see relevant threads) • Boss's identity This has already been discussed too much. • Purpose of the Org and their research: Biochem, computer agenda? Immortality and resurrecting dead people. • What's the Org's connection with America? Why did the FBI and CIA get involved in the first place? It's probably due to the fact Vermouth is American. What is the real name of the Black Organization ?Nobody knows that, it's something related to the boss' name. Only Gosho can answer this. The true significance of the Black Organization. Is the BO international ?Probably it is. Besides Vermouth, Kir, Rye, Sherry and some known Japanese operatives, where do the rest of the BO come from ?It's presumed that there are hundreds of BO agents from many parts of the world, so they are just people who want to raise the dead or be immortal. The true age of all the BO members (including The Boss).Maybe some of them are really young, maybe some are hundreds of years old. How many code-named operatives does The Boss have ? Is there any unknown executive member other than Gin, Vermouth and Pisco ? How highly ranked are Sherry and Bourbon ? Is Vermouth The Boss' only favorite ?Dozens. Surely, there must be much more. Gosho said that all codenamed agents are at the same rank. Yes, I think Vermouth is the only favourite. Where exactly is the Black Org. Headquarter/main hide-out/The Boss's living place ? Is it located somewhere in Tottori after all, or another location ?If it's a character that has already appeared, maybe the boss living place is just their house. Gosho said Tottori is unrelated to BO so maybe they're in some of the other cities like Tokyo (if I'm not mistaken, no BO members appeared in Osaka, Nagano or Gunma. The exact time of when the BO was established. And who are the original members ?Half a century. I think the first members were the boss and Vermouth. Has there been any boss-changes during all these years ? Or is Anokata the only Boss from the beginning ?I think there's only been one boss. Has The Boss ever changed his living place/hide-out ?Maybe, maybe not. For exactly how long has he/she used "Nanatsu no ko" to encode his/her phone number ? (I.e for how long has he/she used the number #969#6261, which may have Tottori's area code ?)Half a century? Why does the boss use Nanatsu no ko? Is it a reference to something or some kind of inside joke?Maybe to the crows they ressemble with their clothes as the song is about crows. Perhaps there are some seven children that are relevant to the plot and we don't know yet. Where exactly do the other BO members (except Vermouth) spend their time when they're not having any mission ? Do they "return to The Boss's side" or do they have their own hide-outs ?They must have their own houses. What do they eat and where do they sleep everyday ? Why are they usually shown hanging out at shipping yards for various reasons ?They must have their own houses as I said before. The shipping yards are quite places and there's no many people there so it could be to speak aloud without worrying. Besides Vermouth, are the other operatives even allowed to meet The Boss face to face ? Do they even know his/her identity ?We don't know yet. Do The Boss and the rest of the Org. know about Vermouth's non-aging condition; or they just simply think that Sharon & Chris are 2 different operatives ?If the FBI knows, surely the rest of the BO knows she deages, but maybe they don't know exactly why as it could be an issue between her and the boss. Do they have missions anywhere other than Tokyo ? (Notice the robbery syndicate in Tottori).Surely they do. The Boss's, and all of the operatives' past or childhood in general, and how they ended up in the BO.It might be explained in the future. Aside from the APTX-project and Itakura's program, does the BO have any other project/interest ?Surely they do. What, after all, makes Gin so suspiciously loyal ?He might be a friend of the boss, or really interested in the project. Does The Boss trigger Haibara's "BO sense" ?We don't know but I'm sure it will be interesting in the future. Anyway, I think Haibara knows who the boss is. What exactly is the purpose behind this whole "crow symbolism" thing ? Does The Boss really like crows that much ?There must be something behind it, but I can't imagine what it is. Specific "current" issues • Ran wondering about when Shinichi touched and got fingerprints on Heiji's omamori and the effect on the plot. (Volume 66: Files 8-10 (693-695)) She's suspected Conan many times, this is just another one. • Sera Masumi's identity and reason for coming to Japan (Partially resolved Masumi is Akai's sister) Akai's sister and meeting the wizard. • Sera's past connection to Shinichi. (general thread) She surely met him when he solved a mystery in his childhood, so she thought he was a wizard. If she wanted to meet him again in Japan, it might be something concerning her father or mother, or brothers. • Why does Sera think she is a bad kid while watching Ran treat Conan's injury? Idk • The identity of Masumi's "Wizard" (general thread) Shinichi. • The identity of the Akai family middle brother Haneda Shuukichi. • The identity of the small child from the hotel Sera's mother or aunt. • Who is Rum? Sakurako Yonehara • Who the 2 mothers that Aoyama has said are sisters in an interview? He denied Conan and Sera were cousins so probably Yukiko and Sharon, or Sharon and Mrs. Sera, or Mrs. Sera and the unknown child, or Sharon and the unknown child.

Finished this one quicker than expected! :▶ The Detective Boys

when akai died it was so sad when takagy told jodie it was his fingerprints !! and in 345 when vermouth remembered when shinichi and ran saved her !!
