How does Ayumi having a crush on Conan develop the plot, exactly? XD Or rather, how do you think it will (or has developed) develop the plot?
Oh, come on, now. Shinichi isn't lustful for Ran? Okay. Sure. XD
No, him setting her free would exhibit that he would rather lose her than see her suffer waiting for him. THAT'S what love is. Now if it were a story where she was with another guy and he was there and he didn't give up on her- THAT'S love. That shows determination and loyalty. What he's doing now is just... obsessive- territorial. It's not a very loving action at all, even if he claims it's because he loves her. It's not like he had ever been in a relationship before and fell in love with a girl and knew from experience. He's just claiming he does. Once again, I don't think Gosho knows what love is, himself.
Really? Gosho is a better writer than all of us here? I suggest you read "A Song of Fire and Ice" or "Ender's Game" , any of the Sherlock Holmes series, or even play Bioshock: Infinite.
That is good writing.
So him liking her as a kid and not feeling anything romantic towards her would stop him from telling Ayumi it won't happen? How so?
Of course he's working hard on it, if he screws it up it won't bring in money. People can fake smiles- and the idea of DC being awesome is... debatable.
I believe it's my line, actually. I did say it, first. (Rather, Sherlock Holmes did...)
I'm persuading myself? Opinions are created with facts. Of course, don't confuse facts for a believed truth- such as them being the canon couple. They aren't canon until they are in an actual relationship- and a lot could happen.
I actually don't think Gosho is a good enough writer to pull off any of the couples he's writing about, though. :I I'm surprised he pulled off Satou and Takagi like he did.
Come on, now. One is a fictional character and the other lives half-way across the world. There's no reason not to state my opinion of them.
