A: It was Kurosawa before, now, it's Uchida.

Possibly the only useful things we could gather is that: Eventually, it will be told how Shuichi joined the FBI, there has NOT been a new boss, and that Conan may well go beyond 100 volumes (he may have been kidding;at least I hope he was). Also, Heiji may not participate in the final confrontation and I believe when Eisuke returns, things will start to get interesting.

Last one..

Thanks! Yep, he apparently doesn't like his old style. Personally, I prefer it to the one he uses now.

That's not even my translation, so I wouldn't know.

Okay, apparently, it says "Sorry for the inconvenience."

That's what the Chinese translation said, but alright then. We'll wait for a better trans.

Okay. It seems to be saying that Gosho had been working on the flashback case before Kaitou reprint case. (And maybe before his hospitilization.)

Latest one. (Open in a new tab to see it) http://blog-imgs-73-origin.fc2.com/s/k/y/sky969blue6261/fc2_2015-04-10_00-38-53-324.jpg

4 More http://sky969blue6261.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-160.html What they're saying are the RAN chapters have been finished and a draft of the final part of the SHINICHI portion has been finished. Hold tight, guys!! Special thanks to Jimmy for the news and Startold for the Translations.

Tell me about it. It's simply a red herring. He's done it many times before.

It's too bad Shinichi's "confession" during the London case wasn't as good as his one in non-canon Movie 4, imo. It was too vague for me.

I know.

New postcard from Gosho: https://twitter.com/AyumiN0503/status/570554727642963970/photo/1 It says "Look forward to Ran's reply to (Shinichi's) confession! Look forward to it!" So it appears that the upcoming flashback case may have some motivation in the present timeline. Thanks to Ran 5-5 and Skyechan over at DCTP!

Explain what, Chek? I just had the idea to do this recently. Remember the DCTP chatbox conversation a few days ago when we were talking about ways Gosho could've improved the manga stories, you suggested that was how the Bourbon arc could've been improved.

I've had an idea for a story. It's based on Chekhov's idea for how the Bourbon arc should have started (i.e. FBI agents being kidnapped and targeted and the like), but after no one seemed to care much about the illustrations I commissioned, it may be just a waste of time.

Yep. We're in for the long haul again. Looks like.

His being Rum, I think that's what Gosho's inferring.

Indeed!

Here's the trans of the newest AC notes: (Hat tip to bluesun over at DCTP) Clover: I'll see you in the cinema! ()/ Heart: [Ran GIRL] is a two-parter. Diamond: After Ran GIRL will be Shinichi BOY. Spade: The escape game was really fun~ The first one is about the latest film, of course, but the second and third intrigues me. It's obviously about the new "first meeting" files coming out. There could be a "same story, different perspective" thing going on with it..

I'm willing to believe him.

I still say misdirection.

Gosho appears to be doing better. He's left the hospital for now to attend a gaming event. https://twitter.com/realdgame
