I understand, it's ok. Thanks for changing it!

But they would have to take into consideration that he sometimes works at those times and that he sometimes records them so that he can watch them later... Don't spoil by confirming things...

The current arc is the Rum arc, and the next BO case will happen after february

That's an interesting theory,...although it's mostly stretched out assumptions(Kogoro was there after all, and it's a risky move to break-in without sufficient "Kogoro-routine" knowledge(something that only Amuro has)... That also puts Wada way up on the intelligence/deduction-skill chart

was just going off of the side-note and that he claims to be listening to music. if "Old song"="poem", then it's obvious to me that he heard it from someone, since u can see the lines in the dialogue box, implying that something is being said(and if not a "song", than it's a person).

Then is there a translation error in the side-note at the end?("the hint lies within the old song")

Or, He really was listening to music, and what he heard in the song(as mentioned in the side-notes) is that same poem, before the others, and then relayed those lyrics to them.

Detective Conan FILE 981-982 Review/Discussion

Yeah, and Conan clearly didn't buy her excuse, since it didn't explain why she bought those extra plates and cups.

Rei isn't that selfish and evil. The only reason he was willing to go that for with Akai was because of his personal hatred. He has nothing against Conan and should in fact be indebted if we were to count the movie canon. The way I see it, their relationship is gradually becoming a lot better (which I'm really looking forward to). I do however agree that Heiji could be Rei's biggest chance on getting clues to Conan's true identity. just read the translation of File 980...

I have to disagree on that.

And we have yet to know what... ...said...

Just like her daughter...

Halloween special! Beast Rumi, Pirate Hyoue & Ninja Mary!

As much as I want to pass it off as a red-herring....I'm gonna stay neutral on this matter and simply say that he is a BO member(since we had enough indirect hints from Gosho that Wakita is most likely BO related), without completely dismissing the possibility that he could be Rum. I'm still obviously leaning more towards(and prefer) Wakita being a member with some antipathy between him and Rum...but it's really hard to say. Not that it's confirmed yet, but I still think that Rumi is a very obvious Asaka suspect too, and it does seem to me like she will end up being Asaka as well. EDIT: Since the actual translation is "Close associate of the boss", rather than "second-in-command", Wakita could still be another BO member, who sees Rum as weak and that the boss still bets on him(according to the "Pirate's spirit" comment) and who is a close associate to the boss(according to the Yaiba comment), which is Gosho's way of creating a red-herring by playing with the truth rather than outright lie.

After reading File 977, I'm seriously confused with Gosho’s implications... The first impression I got was that Wakita is a BO member who looks down on Rum: Wakita - "Pirate's Spirit is such a weak horse..." And now, the second impression I'm getting is that Wakita is actually Rum: Suspect - "Today is the episode where second-in-command of the boss appears" I can't tell if it's all just random easter eggs, a red-herring, or if Wakita is actually Rum and he's very self-conscious and underestimates his abilities... :/ Like Conan pointed out, the disciple-thingy is getting old. Are we gonna have a clash between Amuro and Wakita now? (Amuro has to uphold his disciple-act after all :P)

Ooh, you already read it? Thanks!

Detective Conan - BTBC: Vermouth (Part 3)! THE SEQUAL IS FINALLY OUT! Link to first Page: http://meitanteixx.deviantart.com/art/DC-Behind-the-Black-Curtains-Vermouth-1-617615124 Link to full chapter: http://meitanteixx.deviantart.com/gallery/57358068/DC-Behind-the-Black-Curtains-Vermouth-Part-3 Enjoy!

I left that part open because I was considering the possibility of his BO influence as a child... his motive is obviously his revenge against Akai, but what I thought we were discussing was the next layer under that, his personality and possible influences(in his childhood) that could explain his aggressive and cold-hearted decisions.

I'm honestly leaning more towards one of his parents being a research mate of the Miyanos. His main drive to take down the BO has got to be something more personal to him, and from the vague implications of his britishness, I'm seeing the possibility that we will eventually find out more about his parents(which in turn should serve a purpose in the plot). Also, that "Furuya Masa'aki" reading of the name in the guestbook gives me the Kouji vibe. Both our guesses could be true as well, but I think that he got his british influence after moving to the UK, directly after the Miyano accident(his parent's death), and then eventually moved back and joined the police academy of his own free will. That goes without saying... This whole topic started from the discussion regarding how far Rei was willing to go for his own ambition, even at the cost of abandoning his work ethics(for whatever reason), and of the absurdity that Gosho could potentially write himself another character with similar tendencies, who could also end up being on the good side too. I can definitely see past Bourbon's level of "bad deeds" since it overall didn't lead to any casualties(and some of the potential "bad deeds" are questionable, like our discussion ascertained), but something as straightforward as orchestrating a car accident, that could potentially have lead to death(if that wasn't the aim to begin with), can't be excused to Bourbon's level. If Wakita was behind that incident, then I can't see him as something else besides a bad guy(BO).

Shuichi wasn't involved, until the last minute, when Rei was gonna "save" sherry by forcing her to go with him, through violence... Also, although we can't know for sure, in his introduction, he should have already solved the case with the knowledge that he had, and since he was the one that dropped the cake that Banba stepped on, he should have already known that Banba was about to lose his only evidence to his alibi, yet he was willing to risk a civilian's innocence to test Kogoro's abilities... That childhood flashback indicated that he was pretty aggressive as a child too.. Fair point. Ofc, it's still a possibility, since he couldn't have done something "nicer" to her while Vermouth is beside him. I don't see how Vermouth being disguised as Natsuko/Jodie could've helped either at that point...

I was trying to correlate the writing similarity of Wakita's character, since it's almost indicated that Wakita might have put someone in the hospital as well in order to take the victim's place in the restaurant. Either way, considering that Bourbon has a track-record of being willing to do questionable things(like physically assaulting someone he's planning to protect), I don't see why Conan's assumption could be wrong. It's not like everything was conveniently put in place for his plan to work after Natsuko's incident(that lead to Scarlet).

Ahh, I see, thanks for the correction. ...it doesn't change much nonetheless... This whole theory is just a stretch based on minor implications from one chapter. It's mostly wishful thinking, since I don't want another Amuro character who's willing to put a person into the hospital for his own ploy, when he is susposed to be a good guy. That car "accident", definitely doesn't sound like an accident, so I much rather see Wakita as a bad guy(BO) than a crazy agent/civilian.
