    *Mouri Tantei Agency* “It looks great, doesn’t it? Ne, Conan-kun?” “Mmm! It looks amazing!” “I wish otou-san was here to help us decorate the tree…” Ran sighed. “Ran-neechan, oji-san already went to the bar! He’s probably drunk now!” Ran said nothing, only thinking of another way to get her parents back together for Christmas. A family dinner? No okaa-san probably wouldn’t come. A big party, perhaps? Hmm…yes, that would be good, then, my parents would realize how happy they are together! Ran sat back, savoring the idea. “A-ano…Ran-neechan?” Conan asked. “Do you want me to bring the ornaments?” “H-huh? Oh, arigatou, Conan-kun.” Ran said, still daydreaming. I have to disguise the party idea, so okaa-san and otou-san wouldn’t know I’m trying to get back togeth- The door opened and closed. Conan walked in, with several boxes of ornaments stacked high above his face. Ran had to suppress her laughter. “Do you need some help, Conan-kun?” “Iie, I’m fine, oh wait now I need –“ The ornaments all toppled off of Conan’s small hands as he tried to catch the ornaments. He successfully caught one, and Ran caught two, but the rest fell to the ground, shattering. “G-gomen, Ran-neechan.” “It’s okay, Conan-kun, now let’s hope none of the ornaments are shattered….” “Nope, all clear! Let’s hang them up!” As Conan started to hang up the ornaments with Ran, he noticed her eyes had welled up with tears. Alarmed, Conan asked “What’s wrong, Ran-neechan?” “Oh, gomen Conan-kun. I was just thinking about the Christmas’ Shinichi and I used to spend together…” She trailed off. Conan tried to comfort her, but couldn’t say anything. Ran turned to look at Conan. “Do you think he has forgotten me?” Her eyes filled with more tears. Conan panicked, and this time, he found himself. “I think Shinichi-niichan is too afraid to speak out his true feelings about you, but no. Shinichi-niichan has not forgotten you. He thinks about you everyday and always keeps you in his heart.” Conan was overwhelmed by the truth in his words. Ran raised up and dried her tears and gave Conan a small smile. “Arigatou, Conan-kun.” *clock strikes 11* “Nani?! Conan-kun! It’s way past your bedtime!” Ran reprimanded with some of her old fire back. “D-demo…” Conan protested. Conan lost the battle, and he grudgingly went to bed. “Oyasumi, Conan-kun.” “Oyasumi.” Before Ran could close the door to hide her face, Conan thought he saw the glimmer of tears in her eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Onegai, Haibara. Onegai!” Conan begged. “Gomen, Kudo-kun, the antidote can’t be rushed, or else it won’t work.” Haibara replied with her usual voice of devoid feeling. “Onegai, Haibara! Ran was in tears yesterday!” “I’m sorry, Kudo-kun.” Her voice softening. “But you should know I’m trying the best I can. You cannot rush time.” “B-but!” “I-I understand.” He said slowly. The glare of his glasses prevented Haibara from seeing his blue eyes clouded with sadness. She tried to find words to confort him, but could find none. He slowly walks away. “I’m sorry.” She whispered, even though she knew he couldn’t hear her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yay! Read and grade it! Don't hesitate to tell me if it's bad. PLEASE! But anyways, hope you enjoy!

    Buying a girl chocolate and flowers for what ever reason is sweet, but making her smile, telling her how beautiful she is and telling her how her smile makes your day 10X better. Is priceless!

    /facepalm hi, it's me again. Sorry I keep dumping my ugly drawings on DCW ): Hope everyone forgives me, because for the past 2 years, I have not shared my drawings with many people TAT I'm constantly trying to get the hang of drawing a certain style, and now the Conan you see below is draw freehand without any reference. ^^ I finally did it! Tell me what you guys think? I will continue to see if I can perfect Gosho Aoyama's style

    Heiji and Kazuha's Awkward moment when Ran said "I know, you two are a couple!" *laughs* This one is finished. from the same Volume (19), this is File 6: The Fourth... something (I forgot.) This is still a sketch... bah, a lot of proportions are off..... and Heiji came out weird. O_o... Tons of sketch marks (if you can see them... bu it's worse in reality...).... still needs shade... I should start on characters other than Conan, and Haibara....

    Ok, ok, here we go. First of all, I had already watched this movie about a week ago when it came out raw, and I have to say I thought it was more enjoyable the second time around (the english subs probably helped). Anyway, let's start with the negative aspects : -A certain repetitiveness in the use of the music at some points, mostly during the first half in fact. -After being right into the action at the beginning, the story slows down a bit too much. I don't mind that when it's for the investigation, but in this case it was mostly used for a bunch of annoying scenes with the Detective Boys (eating, buying souvenirs, getting lost : boy was that scene with the 'words are swords' cheesy...). -Even if an effort was made to balance action and mystery, some progress still needs to be made, mostly by taking out some of the aforementioned scene and having the case occupy the screne a bit more. -Some loose ends left after the case is solved. -The secondary characters felt a bit flat. Not one of them stood out like Reiko in movie 12 or Irish in movie 13 (even if I don't like that movie). For the postive now : -The use of music during the action scenes and while Conan was being rescued was perfect. Some other tracks where quite nice too (when we see the DB slaying). -Not too many action scenes. Furthermore they were well balanced. -Absolutely beautiful animation for the landscapes. This made some scenes like the one with the diamond dust or the one with Conan, Ran and the trees with lights even more enjoyable. -Except for those 20-25 minutes where the movie does get a bit tiresome, the pacing is great and well handled for a 109 minute movie. -The humour is classic : Kogoro and women, Haibara and Agasa, Conan's inner comments...but it works and that's all I'm asking for. -There is some fanservice, but it's reasonable and isn't shoved down our throats. -The ending was very emotional. The music helped a lot. In fact the whole drama worked pretty well. -There was an effort made to have an actual case, and despite its weaknesses, it wasn't as bad or insignificant as I thought it was when I watched the RAW. Furthermore, at the end, apart from those little loose ends, almost everything was correctly tied together. After having watched it once, I ranked it under movie 12. Now, I would rank it along movie 12 or maybe even movie 1. Overall, we have an enjoyable story with decent pacing, nice humour, some emotion and a decent case (despite there being room for improvement). Considering the director is new, I say he's done a pretty good job. This movie gets a 7/10 from me. (P.S : Movie 14 would get a 2.5 and Movie 13 a 5).

    Hello everyone~ Due to the fact I wanted to (and also because she is awesome), I have drawn Yamamura's granny. XD If you're wondering about the heading at the top of the picture, just my excuse to give her sunglasses... Thank you CC for mentioning the meme, for I didn't know of it beforehand. Yep. So, I hope you enjoy~ Critic is welcomed, but don't be cruel! Yamamura's Granny:

    I have but one question... How in blue blazes did you manage to see m16?! Did you break into the production studio to see the movie or what? It hasn't even gotten a proper trailer yet! I doubt that you got the numbers wrong, because clearly you have them straight... I just really want to know how you managed to get your hand on a preproduction copy of the movie. Normally you have to be working on the movie to do that (and usually only select members of the crew actually see the finished product this far in advance, because at this point it is usually still in editing and post-production) This far in advance I would even doubt it being ready for test audiences, unless it is a rough copy, which is likely to change before the final cut.

    Since Sera is most likely going to be a recurring character, it makes sense to have a thread dedicated to speculating about her outside her introductory case thread. Edit: I like listing things so I'm going to list all the theories I subscribe to about Sera here with evidence to support. Some of this is copied from later posts. It is also in progress pending new information. Last updated (Apr 18 2012) Index Sera Masumi's identity Sera is Akai Shuuichi's sister Direct Evidence Literary device arguments Minor points - i.e. weak arguments Sera is not...A loyal member of the Black Organization Scar Akai The hat lady from the prescreening case Sera's Goal Sera is looking for Akai Sera is looking into Conan and the people around him Sera is specifically targeting Conan because she found out that he and Akai had some sort of connection before Akai's disappearance Sera's purpose in the plotSera will drive Ran's suspicion Sera will come across Bourbon MiscellaneousSera knows Conan is Shinichi. Sera's comment about deleting Haibara's picture. Why doesn't Sera go to the FBI for help finding Akai? Why doesn't Sera tell Conan who she is and that she wants to find Akai? If Sera is after Akai, why is she interested in Ai and Conan? Why would Okiya, if he is Akai, step up protection after hearing about and seeing Sera? Old arguments Sera Masumi's identity Sera is Akai Shuuichi's sister Direct Evidence Sera and Akai's eyes match Sera has bags under her eyes identical to Akai Shuuichi's. The "siblings with identical eye designs" has been done before with Eisuke and Hidemi. Characters who know Akai think she is familiar • Conan thinks she looks familiar and feels like she is not an enemy. (73-9 pg 11) She has some similar features to Akai Shuuichi, like the eyes and the wavy/kinky black hair. Akai was an ally so it makes sense Conan would have this impression. • Camel, Jodie, and James Black think she looks familiar. (File 778-780) They are all familiar with Akai. Sera's relocation history matches up with Akai's infiltration activities. Sera lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. (V73-9 pg 2) This matches with the time when Akai was infiltrating the Organization five to two years ago. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Akai's infiltration. Sera recognizes Scar Akai (who looks like Akai) Sera's reaction to Scar Akai was one of recognition. She called Scar Akai "an old acquaintance" (she couldn't exactly come out and say "brother"). Later, Sera comments about "this person in the past who never laughed". "In the past" implies this person had an existence failure, like Akai who is supposed to be dead or had run off on a mission and never returned. Also Akai is not the laughing type. He was cold before Akemi died and is worse now. Literary device arguments Sera's name origin is a pun on the younger sister of Akai's name origin. Sera Masumi's name is derived from to Mobile Suit Gundam character Sayla Mass (セイラ・マス, ''Seira Masu''). Gosho references this in an interview. Akai's name is derived from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Anzable. (Akai's name comes from the Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable, whose nickname was the "Red (Akai) Comet", and Char's voice actor Shuuichi Ikeda (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem Deikun (sounds like Dai-kun in Japanese). Moroboshi can also mean falling star, another possible allusion to Red Comet. ) Minor points - i.e. weak arguments Sera and Akai share some habits. Both often wear headwear when the situation allows it. (Akai wears beanies, Sera various hats when not in school or uniform) Sera and Akai also share the habit of pocketing their hands. Neither are exclusive behaviors however. Sera is knowledgable about law enforcement. Sera has knowledge of law enforcement, even the Japanese law enforcement, which would be expected of someone who has a sibling in law enforcement whom she cares about. Sera reacts to the FBI She reacted when Conan introduced Camel as being part of the FBI. (File 778) Akai was in the FBI. Sera reacts Okiya Subaru Sera reacted strongly to Okiya Subaru, who may be the real Akai. Sera is not... A loyal member of the Black Organization If Sera was a loyal member of the Black Organization, she should have identified Ai was Sherry and have reported or eliminated her. Sera seems to already know Conan's identity (see below), but she has not done anything to harm him. Also, she would have also been more cautious in front of Conan and speaking about how much she knew in front of Mouri Kogoro. Besides the picture of Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses, she also revealed she had information that she collected previously on Agasa (knew about Agasa is advance of his introduction) [771.4]. She revealed that she had done research on the professor to Kogoro and Ran. Also, she overtly tested Conan's deductive abilities in her introductory case. If she was Conan's enemy, she would have concealed that she knew who he was [768.16] and what he was capable of [769.4] in advance to ensure she had an advantage and would have also been more subtle about testing Conan's abilities to avoid making him realize that she was testing him. She wouldn't nearly directly ask if Conan was the brains behind Kogoro either.[771.4] She also deleted the information she collected on Haibara. If she was a target, deleting the info doesn't make sense even if she isn't going to do anything to Haibara right away. Also a hotel is not a very secure base of operations for a BO agent. People can enter and exit as they please as long as they have a card, which can be used to break in if copied or if Sera is impersonated. Why not use a better backstory so she work from a residence that provides more security for one's personal belongings? Scar Akai Sera appeared at the same time as Scar Akai in 801. The hat lady from the prescreening case Sera is not the lady in the hat who followed Yukiko and the Detective Boys on Akai's orders during the film prescreening case (chaps 417-419). Conan asked Takagi to stop by their car and ask them questions about whether they had been drinking and such to get them to stop following the gang. Takagi would have recognized her during her appearance case. Also the shadowlady with the hat was shown smoking. Conan probably would have noticed if Sera smelled of smoke because that would be unexpected for someone who is supposed to be high-school aged. Cigarette smoke smell is also difficult to get out of clothes and hair, and we already had a shot of Sera's apartment and there were no obvious signs of smoking so Sera must have kicked the habit temporarily if she was hat lady. Sera's allegiance and occupation Sera is most likely a high school girl on the side of Akai. • Sera responded to Scar Akai as an acquaintance. (Assuming she mistook Scar Akai for the real deal.) • Sera is most likely not an FBI agent because Camel did not outright recognize her. (File 778) She is also seems a bit young although she could be concealing her real age. • She is well acquainted with the names and procedures of various elements of the Japanese law enforcement although she has been living in America for three years. That means she likely has a personal interest in law enforcement for some reason. • In the process of investigating Conan, she discovered Shinichi Kudo is alive. She also obtained an image of Haibara and her current address. She has made no moves against either party, suggesting she is not part of the Organization. • Sera seems to already know Conan's identity (see below), but she has not done anything to harm him. Sera's Goal Sera is trying to locate Akai Shuuichi or is trying to find out why he died, and she is doing so by looking into the people connected with Conan. Sera is looking for Akai If Sera is Akai's sister, as argued above, it would make sense for her to wonder what happened to him or investigate his supposed death. This parallels the situation with Eisuke and Hidemi. • Sera chases after Scar Akai when she seems him, and calls him "an old acquaintance." If she thinks Scar Akai is the real Akai or someone who looks exceedingly like him, her reaction clearly suggests she is interested in Akai. Later, Sera comments about "this person in the past who never laughed". "In the past" implies this person had an existence failure, like Akai who is supposed to be dead or had run off on a mission and never returned. Also Akai is not the laughing type. He was cold before Akemi died and is worse now. • Sera revealed she had taken a special interest in Okiya Subaru before the Detective Boys informed her about them. She specifically was wondering if someone had just moved in to the Kudo household without permission, indicating that she is interested in a person who might just move in. • She also asks about Agasa's living situation. After learning via Genta and Mitsuhiko that the only occupants were the professor and Haibara, she discards some of the information she collected on them, possibly indicating they were no longer of interest because Akai or someone who could be Akai was not living there. • Sera comments that "Deletion. For data at least ... is an easy task to accomplish." (File 777 pg 16) Although Sera was deleting a picture of Haibara from her computer at the time, it could be interpreted as a general comment that while data is easy to erase, it is much harder to erase traces of someone in real life. By implication that would reveal she is interested in someone who had been "erased", like Akai for example. • Sera takes a special interest when Conan reveals Camel is an FBI agent. This suggests that her motive involves the FBI. Sera is looking into Conan and the people around him Sera knows about Conan and is specifically looking into him and the people around him. She knew Conan's name in advance without being told and that he was a detective in his own right. She likely thinks Conan is the force behind sleeping Kogoro after asking Kogoro a pointed question about Conan being by Kogoro's side for all his cases. She specifically tries to meet with Conan and talk to him on at least one occasion. She also deliberately messed up the explanation to a case, seemingly in order to test Conan's deduction ability. Sera has also investigated the people around Conan. She asks various people probing questions. She actively collected and stored data on her computer about Agasa. She also knows information about people in advance indicating she has done research. She knew Ran was a a high level karate practitioner when they met. In file 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him "Professor whatshisname" at first. She looked up a video of Agasa's online and managed to get an image of the video taker Haibara by zooming in on his glasses. She also went to visit Agasa's house and asked Mitsuhiko and Genta about the person living in the Kudo house and Agasa and Haibara. Sera is specifically targeting Conan because she found out that he and Akai had some sort of connection before Akai's disappearance As for how she found out about Conan and Akai's relationship, I think she acquired some of Akai's pictures of Conan and Haibara from when Akai was investigating them in the Vermouth arc. Specifically Akai had one of the Detective Boys as they were about to enter a film studio with Yukiko. This would explain why she targets Ai at all; she was quite prominent in the picture and thus possibly Akai's person of interest. As for how she got it, Akai kept the one of Shiho (with Conan, the DB, and Yukiko in the background) as a personal memento and the FBI overlooked it when sending his things back to America after he "died". This is plausible because Akai kept it in his truck, but it is no longer there during the events of Red vs. Black, and the police obviously didn't find it in the glove compartment or Takagi would have asked Conan about it. She could have also grilled someone in the FBI. A bunch of FBI agents saw Conan and Akai together in the strategy meeting. The way Conan and Akai were interacting made it clear that they knew each other and had been planning together. Camel and Jodie didn't recognize her though. Sera's purpose in the plot I think it is extremely likely the climax of the Bourbon arc will involve a simultaneous confrontation with Bourbon and Ran suspects Conan plot. Sera is a catalyst to drive both of these forward. Sera will drive Ran's suspicion Sera's suspicion of Conan will drive Ran to suspect Conan is Shinichi either by directly wondering about the possibility to Ran, but more likely by uncovering something that makes Ran suspicious. Back during the Shiragami case (V62 chaps 650-651), Heiji used Shinichi's fingerprints on his omamori as evidence to show "Shinichi" was a plastic surgery lookalike. Shinichi/Conan's fingerprints got on Heiji's omamori in the first place when Conan pulled the handcuff link pieces out of the bag to show Ran that they blocked Numabuchi Kiichiro's stabbing attempt (V19-F8 188 pg 8). Ran remembers this incident in the sports bar case (V66-F8 693 pg 11), and asks Kazuha about the discrepancy: she knows Conan handled the omamori a long time ago, but when did Shinichi handle it? Note that this situation closely parallels the question of Akai's fingerprints on Conan's cellphone (and Conan may try to resolve it in a similar fashion.) Sera seems to already have uncovered Conan is Shinichi. (801 and see Miscellaneous section below) She also asks Ran to bring some photo albums, which Shinichi will be in, because she wants to see what Shinichi looks like to confirm her suspicions. She is already "pointing" Ran to some evidence that will make her suspicious. Sera will come across Bourbon (Edit: Already happened!) I think it is likely Sera will run into scar Akai, who is Bourbon is disguise, and mistake him for the real Akai. Either she will try to find or make contact with scar Akai herself, necessitating intervention by Conan and Akai (disguised as Okiya), or Bourbon will attempt to use her to lure the real Akai out or kill her, also necessitating intervention by the same two. Sera meeting with Okiya and uncovering that he is Akai would be a dead end plotwise unless Sera is being followed. In the Eisuke arc, Conan was suspicious that Eisuke was unknowingly being used by the Org to find Hidemi, but that turned out not to be the case. If Bourbon knows about Sera, then he could be using her as an unwitting bait for Akai, and in the process of following her stumble across her investigation of Conan and take interest in it himself, leading to the showdown with him. In any case, Sera's presence will trigger Akai to do something once he finds out she is in Japan looking into his death/disappearance. Akai doesn't have much of a choice because Sera is investigating Conan and Shinichi which will and has brought her to Shinichi's house once already. Akai can't ask the FBI to help since they think he is dead, also with Bourbon wandering around looking like scar Akai, he has to do something to protect her before she meets scar Akai and becomes a target. Miscellaneous Arguments Sera knows Conan is Shinichi. Sera has demonstrated overt suspicion of Conan's talents, but her thought she "had known that for a long time" after Ran mentions Conan, just like Shinichi, is a Holmes addict suggests Sera knows his identity. She also asks Ran to bring photo albums of Shinichi, which will contain pictures of Shinichi when he is young. Sera can easily find pictures of Shinichi on the internet, but not Shinichi's past pictures, which suggest verification of her theory is her motive for wanting to see the album. Sera also takes interest when Sonoko describes Haibara as a introverted woman trapped in the body of a small child who overlaps a lot with Conan. Sera's comment about deleting Haibara's picture. It's obviously an attempt by Gosho to make Sera look suspicious without having her do anything that logically deserves suspicion. Sera comments that "Deletion. For data at least ... is an easy task to accomplish." (File 777 pg 16) Although Sera was deleting a picture of Haibara from her computer at the time, it could be interpreted as a general comment that while data is easy to erase, it is much harder to erase traces of someone in real life. By implication, that would reveal she is interested in someone who had been "erased", like Akai for example. She most likely erased the picture of Haibara because she ruled out Agasa's house as somewhere Akai might be living. After talking with Mitsuhiko and Genta in 775, she finds out no one else is living there besides the professor and Haibara. As Akai isn't there, she deletes the info she collected because she doesn't need it any more. If it isn't useful and someone might become suspicious of what she was doing if it was accidentally seen, there is no reason to keep it around. Why doesn't Sera go to the FBI for help finding Akai? If Sera is looking for Akai, why doesn't she scope the FBI, tell them who she is, or ask them for help? In summary, they might send her back or block any investigation she might make. Besides being a civilian who shouldn't be involved, Sera is also a high risk one at that. Her identity as Akai's sister may mean the Org could try to use her as leverage against the FBI or as Akai, or kill her because of her relation to Akai. Anyone in the Org with a personal vendetta against Akai (like Bourbon) would also go after her. Sera, assuming she thinks Akai is alive, doesn't know if the FBI knowingly faked Akai's death, or Akai did it on his own and tricked the FBI. If it was the first case, Sera would expect that she would be sent back immediately because the FBI would not want to have their operation endangered by her snooping around. In the second case, Sera would expect that they would send her back because of the danger she is putting herself and the FBI in. Also, if the FBI think Akai is dead, she wouldn't have much help from them anyway because they wouldn't tell her anything because it would be involving a civilian and they want to keep the Org investigation secret. Why doesn't Sera tell Conan who she is and that she wants to find Akai? Her task would become substantially harder if Conan decided to exclude her because it means she has laid all her cards on the table. She doesn't know how Conan will react which means telling him would be taking a gamble on him excluding her or informing the FBI she is in Japan to get her sent back. In any case, Conan would exclude her no questions asked because he is harboring Akai and she thus a liability. Conan locked down on Eisuke the moment he realized he might be connected to Rena and did as much as he could to avoid doing anything Eisuke would be interested in. That lockdown didn't let up even when Conan decided that Eisuke was probably not an enemy (nail and hammer case) because Conan was still worried that Eisuke could be used by the Org, and it could be the same deal with Sera. Right now, Conan knows Sera is suspicious, but doesn't know what her goal is. If he knew she was looking for Akai, he could make various arrangements to make it harder for her to find out. As he doesn't know how to block her investigation, he can't take any targeted measures to dissuade her other than not tell her anything relevant. If Sera is after Akai, why is she interested in Ai and Conan? My suspicion is that she knew to look into Conan and Ai in the first place because she saw Akai's pictures of Conan and Haibara from when Akai was investigating them in the Vermouth arc. Specifically Akai had one of the Detective Boys as they were about to enter a film studio with Yukiko. This would explain why she targets Ai; she was quite prominent in the picture and thus possibly Akai's person of interest. I assume she looked into everyone in the photo. Conan would come out prominently because of his involvement with Kaito Kid, and from there Sera started digging, like Eisuke, and noticed Conan's appearance correlated to Mouri's rise. Yukiko's presence ties in Kudo Shinichi, which explains why she takes interest in his name and when Conan used his name for a case. Sera wouldn't have asked Kogoro if Conan was around when he solved cases if she didn't make nearly the same connections that Eisuke did. In order to get anywhere, Eisuke had to hang around Ran and take advantage of Conan's love of cases. From Sera's perspective, Conan is going to be more interesting than anything she could dig up on Ai who has done an excellent job of keeping her public records unremarkable. As for how she got the pictures, they don't have to get sent to her in particular, they could have been sent home, the way a dead soldier's personal effects get sent back. While the FBI can't get ahold of the body or Chevy because they are in police custody as murder victim John Doe and his stuff, the FBI might send back everything where Akai was shacking up and the picture was in his personal possessions. While the FBI would have kept mission related info, Akai may have kept the picture hidden somewhere personal because it was one of Shiho Miyano and meant something to him. The FBI overlooked it when they went through his things. Why would Okiya, if he is Akai, step up protection after hearing about and seeing Sera? Please see this post. Why did Sera cry and say she was a bad girl in 814? Sera's crying started when she she watched Ran putting a band aid on Conan. Although this is only a hunch, I have a feeling that watching them triggered a recollection of something very similar that happened between her and Akai when they were younger. She may have met Shinichi when she was younger and remembered something about their meeting then. As for why she says she is a bad girl, I do not know. The meaning and context are pretty vague so there are lots of possibilities. Old Arguments Sera is not Scar Akai Sera didn't know Camel was an FBI agent until the restaurant case where he appeared. [778.11] Scar Akai, assuming he has been targeting FBI agents in his appearances, would have known Camel is an FBI agent after the Beika department store bomb scare. Even if he didn't know before, Scar Akai would know Camel is an FBI agent from the way that Jodie was interacting with him in the Beika Dept store. If Scar Akai was following them earlier, he might have noticed Jodie introducing Camel as "Agent Camel" to Ran and Kogoro. Also, considering the two of them together, it's a pretty easy deduction to make, especially if Jodie is dragging Camel around to interrogate salespeople about a hat scar Akai knows to be his. (Which implies Jodie is looking for info on Akai, and Camel is party to this.) Also Scar Akai may have very well seen Jodie, Camel, and James Black together pre-Teito bank heist while picking the right moment to appear in front of Jodie. If Sera is Scar Akai, she would have at least strongly suspected Camel was FBI by the time Conan introduced Camel in the Danny's case. Her reaction isn't like that though; it's a just found out reaction. "Oh? FBI, huh..." Because Sera was thinking it instead of saying it aloud, there was no reason for her to "lie" in her head, because that wouldn't make any sense and Gosho never lies to the readers.
