AJ M.

You're absolutely right. Why did I think Conan was the one who said "Did it stop?" (thought he was referring to the voice mail)? Well that explains the trick I was trying to find out about. That means Takushi probably had his cell phone at hand all along, so that all he had to do was time the phone call to his wife's phone perfectly (after he explained that he had hiccups to her). To help stop his hiccups, Sumika used the "surprise technique." Then a witness can misinterpret her tactic as "murderous intent." Upon seeing that Takushi was the one who stabbed Sumika in the end, the witness can verify the whole incident as self-defense.

Thoughts on Chapter 802 -So the husband WAS seeking affirmation for self-defense. I’m not sure if my deduction is 100% correct, but I believe that Takushi stole Sumika’s cell phone during the morning and self-placed it near the barbecue area (where he knew that guests would gather up by). So later when guests arrive, he would mention an email that will be coming from his boss, knowing that his wife would broadcast her belligerence in front of the kids. Then when they went inside in search for Takushi’s cell phone (which I believe was intentionally misplaced by Takushi as well), he knew his wife would snatch away his phone (out of curiosity that it really was his boss who emailed him) and call her own cell phone with it (as an excuse for her perusing afterwards). Takushi, being aware that one of the children would show up with his wife’s phone, said something (I will elaborate on what he might’ve said later) that provoked her into attacking him with a knife (and of course, with Ayumi as a witness). With Sumika’s hands occupied with a knife, he probably took back his cell phone (so that he can stop the voicemail after she yells, “Die!”) and then countered her attack by stabbing her right lung (after Ayumi leaves to call the others), thus leaving an impression that it was for self-defense. -But I am stumped about a couple of things. First, what purpose did the cup of water serve? Did she really have some sort of sickness going on? For some reason, I have a hunch that she has a bipolar disorder and the medicine she possibly took was used to suppress it (which would explain her drastic mood changes). But I’m not positive that this is the case. Second, who sent Sumika an email concerning her health issues? Does the heart at the end of the message insinuate that SHE is the one who’s the cheater? Maybe this could be the motive for Takushi’s stabbing of his wife. Third, why did Conan say, “Don’t tell me… He used that to make the wife…” after Genta’s sneeze fest? Did it have something to do with Agasa averting Genta’s sneezes by using that finger trick? Conan probably realized the trick Takushi used to set off Sumika. Perhaps Takushi mentioned emails he saw on HER phone or something about the health issue she has (not exactly sure what yet), anything that would trigger Sumika’s raging hormones. Lastly, why would Takushi stab his wife in her right lung? If he was trying to murder her, wouldn’t it be better to have stabbed her in the heart, which would have guaranteed immediate death, instead? Maybe it really was a struggle for him; he cannot control where to stab her if Sumika is resisting (and it would be too late to stab her in the heart afterwards if Conan and the kids already arrived at the crime scene). -And yes, it is finally implied that Subaru Okiya is truly Akai Shuichi!

Nice job Sandra-chan. I can see it in the manga already. +1 :mrgreen:

It's not that people don't understand what you're saying; it's the fact that you have an opinion, and they have an opinion, so it's a matter of perception. I, for one, do not agree with most of your arguments about AyuCon, but that doesn't mean I didn't understand where you're coming from. I just wanted to inform that you have shed your light on DCW about your AyuCon preference several times enough, and you can't convince everyone no matter how much effort you put into it (especially since the subject is about pairings and is generally opinion-based). Though, I admire your tenacity. Well, I think this discussion has been off-topic long enough. But someone should definitely make a "character development" thread because I have much to say about that. *cough* kyuu *cough* In attempt to bring this discussion back OT, I would like to say, Ran, her horn, and her cookie-cutter characterization for the win!

Don't worry, nothing you said would offend anybody. There are a lot of opinionated people here anyways. And yes, the biggest flaw in the English dub were the name changes. I'm certain that people's hatred towards the dub would be alleviated if the Japanese names were used.

This is pretty badass. (And I thought I was the only who listened to dubstep) Nice job!

@IHKF Wow, you are certainly tenacious when it comes to defending AyuCon. Everywhere I go, you are either bashing on Ran (Haibara even) or stating your case behind the slightest possibility that Conan and Ayumi will be together in the end. It just makes me wonder: do you ever get tired of repeating the same thing over and over again, even though the majority of the DC population thinks otherwise?

Filipino intrusion for the win! (Because I was born in America, I can only understand tagalog rather than speak it) Welcome to DCW. :mrgreen:

@miss-anonymouss Nice ones. Here are some more trolling Aoyamas. It wasn't a real case. I just wanted to exaggerate Aoyama's tendency of creating unreasonable motives.

Lmfao. I wanted to, I promise. Lol jk Why thank you very much. Thanks jovan-chan! You're welcome! And yes, you can call me AJ-kun. :mrgreen:

Are you kidding me? This is a MASTERPIECE! Thank you very much <3 You are officially my favorite person right now. :mrgreen: And Merry Christmas.

Lol. I love this! Nice job Wild-chan, and Merry Christmas! <3
