Black Demon

Conan 48:69 from DCTP also finds one, that version is longer if I'm not mistaken: http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=7317.msg595086#msg595086

According to my speculation (which is the same as of most people), Tooru is Scar Akai is Bourbon. As for his target(s), I think it changes with occasions: - In the past cases: To find Akai and kill him. Since Gin said that Bourbon didn't believe in Akai's death from the beginning, I don't think that much investigation is meaningful once you have that much doubt. Of course disguising as Akai is also one sort of investigation, but it's more like a "confirmation" rather than trying to figure out Akai and Kir's tricks and such.... - Recently (as Toru): I'm not sure. It's kind of hard to judge if he has already given up in finding Akai or not. - In future files: Begins to take interest in Conan (unless Bourbon has already been interested in Conan for a long time), Haibara, Okiya, Sera and investigate them.

In my country there're even fan-club FORUMS just for Haibara (or Ran, Kid...).

Can you explain "The Oven" story ?

For me, I hate it when people don't know (or pretend not to know) that I hurt them. Do I need to kill them to make them hate me ?

I don't hate Ran as much as many people do, but that doesn't mean that I like her. Reasons for that: 1. Like Parkur said above, she cries too much. About this reason, I personally think that it was because of Gosho's "failure" in drawing the readers' sympathy towards the character. In the past, from the beginning to the end of Vermouth arc, I actually felt sorry for her. I felt her pain and her sadness. I even admired her strength when she tried to hide her tears from everyone, and still acted naturally (Volume 33). But now, Gosho is just making her cries more and more annoying. She cries, but the way Gosho portraits it makes me hardly feel anything. I don't even see her sadness. 2. Gosho makes her role much less significant then it was supposed to be. She's the 2nd main character after Shinichi, but she has absolutely no role in the development of the main plot itself. The scene where Gosho made her jumped in and saved Ai was rather random IMO (I don't know about the rest of you but that scene made me admire Vermouth much more than it was to Ran). Even for the normal weekly cases (which some people called "fillers"), her role is nothing more than to call the police when a murder occurs. Because of that, it doesn't surprise me when some people think that her image is more "faded" than other characters like Ai, Kazuha, Sonoko... or even Akemi Miyano. 3. One of the most important reasons is her personality. How can I say ? It's too "general". If someone asks me to describe the most unique (but positive) element I find in Ran and not in other char., I'll be speechless, since I don't even know the answer. That's right. You can hardly find things that are unique about her character, even when she's the 2nd main. (The fact that she cries too much or fears of the supernatural doesn't count because they're negative). I don't care about the recurring ones, but as the lead female character, having no (or few) specialty is also Gosho's "failure" in portraying her image. Of course her highlight is always the "Angel" part, where she saved people who was about to kill her and such. If that was real life, then I would worship her like a goddess for such action, because that's something you don't see everyday. But this is IN Conan Universe, where every good character is likely to do the same thing. The proof is that if Ran hadn't saved Vermouth, Shinichi would have done it anyway (after all, the "there's no reason to save" speech was his). Also, if it hadn't been Ran following Vermouth and saved Ai, but instead another good character, they would also have rushed out to protect her from Vermouth... Therefore, Ran lost her uniqueness. 4. Sometimes, Ran used (or was about to use) her Karate without thinking, which only adds more negative points to her character. E.g. in Volume 55 (Eri's secret case), where she almost kicked her mother's guest right on the face even though Conan told her it was a misunderstanding. And in Volume 61, she "successfully" kicked at Okiya's face without even letting him finishes his explanation. Who in the world attacks people when she herself was the one who asked "Who are you?" just like 1 second ago ? (File 638 - page 8) She's lucky that he isn't Yusaku or Yukiko's acquaintance who borrowed their house. 5. Last but not least: Her hair-style.

It even told me that it's Darth Vader, and it's going to KILL me (What the heck XDDDDDDD )....

I second the idea.

@Kyuu: That. Was. Epic. @Justwantanaccount: That was a very nice find. Anyway, what I'm more interested in right now is the method that Conan will use for deduction this time. Assume that he doesn't at all suspect Toru (or the sunglassed guy), he would definitely tranquilize Kogoro as usual. And now there is where the fun begins.

User: Do you know about Detective Conan, also called Case Closed ? Cleverbot: I don't know who that is. User: It is a show actually. Cleverbot: Ugh, I hate that show. User: Why ? Cleverbot: Elegy of emptiness. Also, a very "disturbing" conversation : An even more "disturbing" conversation:

But if she's alive then who is the burnt body ?

Did you mean that the culprit might be Bourbon, and he was trying to blow that woman up just to test if Akai could really have survived or not ? That is a scary idea in my opinion, even for a BO member.

LOL at the last option But seriously, I have absolutely no idea who to suspect right now. I doubt that it will be Toru. The sun-glassed guy is the most suspicious, but I also doubt it. If I just go by my personal feeling and no logical deduction, I think that it was the good-for-nothing husband. What trick did the culprit use is still unclear at the moment though...

Dear Anonymous, Your sister again ? Poor you XD Signed, Anonymous.

Whatever was written in Akemi's unshown PS to Akai, I hope that it will be revealed by the end of this arc. @Stopwatch: Can you add more poll for members to vote for the culprit ?

There hasn't been any official date yet.

I used to be addicted to DC but not anymore. I also used to like all of the manga cases (whether they're plot related or not), but right now I only follow the series just because I want to know the truth behind all of the unsolved mysteries.

LOL I really did see that coming XDDDDD

Studying nearly 24/7 is such a depression... =_________=

I'm pretty iffy about the love-triangle stuff, but so far I cannot think of any more suitable motive for Bourbon's hatred towards Akai. However, the different part is that if some kind of showdown actually breaks out between those two in the near future, this time, there will be no Akemi saving Akai, since she's already dead. And that battle is gonna be epic. Also, the bolded part seems to be in use, if you know what I mean. This couple really should have gotten themselves a life...

I hate Black Demon.
