Chekhov MacGuffin

I don't think Gosho is going to have the two of them be the same Org, but if so, I really hope barking spider was not the origin of the codename. That would be embarrassing. Both excellent points. I wonder though if Gosho/the anime writers might attempt some sort of origin story now that Kaito Kid is showing up a lot more in DC and has his own anime series, like the boss of the MK Org used to work in the Black Org but split when there was a disagreement, or he got excited over the legend of Pandora and wanted to go after it for himself. As long as all the magic is kept out of the DC half something like that could work out and would go a long way towards explaining the similarities.

What we have been doing is linking to other wikis made by other fansites in different languages. Many of the pages on this wiki have a link to a German wiki, although not all of them because the topics don't overlap completely. If you know of any other non-English language wikis which are underway, tell us so that we can start to connect to them too.DCW doesn't have the translator capacity to translate full pages into other languages and keep them updated. We barely keep up in English as it is.

I thought I would give this topic a poke because we now have a wiki page for the Magic Kaito Organization: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Organization#Relation_to_the_Black_Organization_from_Detective_Conan I promise this is not an attempt to recruit volunteers for the wiki. Yes, yes this is a blatant advertisement for wiki volunteers. Now that you have seen this invisible message, you must edit the wiki.

His lie was a part of Akai's return Rena plan. Camel made a mistake on accident, but he meant nothing bad by it.

Yes, when Akai explained that he recruited Camel as part of his secret plan to return Rena to the Organization. She can infer he was lying to cover up his involvement. Camel told a lie about a non-existent wife because he was trying to hide that he was calling Akai from Jodie because Akai didn't want anyone, Jodie included, to know Camel was part of the plan to sneak Rena back. Akai wanted the FBI to initially act like they really lost Rena, so the BO who is watching the FBI will be fooled by their reactions. The truth seems to be Camel is a bachelor.

That whole box is a computer image (not a photograph)... so unless it is a product that has yet to be made and sold but is being advertized now, it seems a little dubious to me. Usually products come in many varieties if there is a early advertisement; I'd expect to see the same graphic on other items as well, like lunchboxes, or binders, or shirts, or whatever is the norm for Japanese. Are there more products? It's also suspicious because it is still ~3 months before the movie. Where is the box from?

The idea is that #1 would be personally implementable, that is I could set in my profile whether I wanted to ignore twitter statuses. #2 might work best if it was kicked in automatically after say, 10-15 posts. I care about the issue so far as I have an aesthetic dislike for spam and incomprehensible stuff. I don't use the status system all that often, and I rarely reply to other people's comments, but I think people besides me have indicated they care about it.The other side of the issue is that recently I have been deleting about 1 status a day for being spam or otherwise problematic. (Today was a fuck you, yesterday was weight loss, the day before that was a how to see if you have been unfollowed spam and another weight loss...) That's not that bad, but there was no problem before and it could get worse. The overwhelming source of stuff I have to delete is tweets from users with little community involvement (less than a dozen posts. Users with community status (CC, Parkur, etc.) are virtually never the problem.) That's why I think a good solution is to limit tweets to established users and/or have unestablished users request in if they want to tweet before that. Since you have expressed concern about decreasing the number of statuses, I think the effect would be minimal. Half of the statuses already are personally posted, and a good chunk of the people twittering (half of the twitter ones) are proactive well-established users. At absolute worst I would expect maybe a loss of a quarter of the status updates.

This a bit different than personal tweets; as most statuses aren't Conan related anyway. The difference is that many statuses are directly posted with the DCW community in mind; these on average have more replies (an indicator of interest) than other sorts of status updates.With the ones from twitter, I see a lot of statuses with no context and are thus incomprehensible, or are ads, or are masses of #this #that #theotherthing #somemorestuff #stopnowplease. While of there are interesting individual tweets, on average they have lower overall quality in terms of "is this something I care about because it is related to people at DCW, Conan, or anything interesting in general". I can't filter out the twitter tweets either in order to bring up the signal to noise ratio. In terms of what to do I see a few options: 1) Having the option to ignore statuses originating from twitter (may be implementable) 2) Only allowing users to link their twitter to the statuses after some condition. It could be after a certain number of posts, or by asking to be whitelisted in a particular thread. 3) Enforce specific tag requirements such as #Conan #DCW #DC, etc... (hard to implement) I'll collect a few days statuses here to illustrate the problem. mangalover (7 posts): Hi @tataww imakil (0 posts): anjir kekayaannya triliunan gini!!! sialan BUNNY DETECTIVE (31 posts): hahah i love snow it gets to make you stay home from school =p,...but then you got to make it up later -___- (6 comments) keiyakusha (9 posts): i think i catch a flu (2 comments) Whispers (3,560 posts): 100 guests!!!!!!!!

Well, she cried a bit, but she seemed to forgive him. There was one line in Mitsuhiko's mystifying case (35-10 p10, bottom right panel, far right bubble) that was really badly translated that made it seem like Haibara hadn't forgiven Conan. The line is really "Even my sister... Before that certain incident, she gave off that scent."

Kyuu is pretty respected deduction wise; we had a go at each other about this very topic coming up on three years ago. Your theory is pretty good for a start.Kyuu wasn't nice about it, but I think what he had in mind is the biggest clue which really cements that Akai pulled a trick: disappearing blood-trails/moving body. It's the result of Akai swapping himself out with Rikumichi's body which had been dressed up to look like him. The most common version of the Akai fake theory is here: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Akai_faked_his_death_theory I am sure you will notice many similarities to your theory. Welcome to DCW by the way.

I was hoping we would get a peek in on what Sera is doing now. Or Amuro. Or Okiya. The breaks are out of the way at least and since Gosho works on the next chapters during the breaks, something interesting must be in the works. I recall Gosho once saying that Black Org stories are more time consuming on average to write...

I've noticed a large uptick in spam posts from twitter posts in status updates over the past month or so. I have also seen a few users with less than 10 posts but a metric boatload of status updates not Conan related. Also I think it is nice to see DCW member specific or Detective Conan related status updates versus a bunch of random stuff with no context. On the other hand, twitter does add lots of posts which keeps things fresh and may introduce people to cool things. Should we de-twitter the status updates? Should we have conditions (if implementable), like they have a #DetectiveConan #DC #Conan #DCW #DCTP, etc... tag or something similar? Thoughts?

Hacked as in someone tampered with your account? That's kind of serious, so I want to know what happened just to make sure it doesn't happen to other accounts. I noticed lots of spam updates have been coming from it. I'm a mod by the way. Nice to meet you. This account? http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/user/13269-mangalover/ I can try to fix it for you.

No. Based on the past, Friday-Sunday would be the most likely expected time for spoilers. They could be earlier, but I am not going to expect it.

That's pretty interesting. I watched the original Gundam, but not the Zeta. How did Sayla fit into all of this?

Gosho's interview says the name of the boss has appeared. Personally, to me that indicates the boss has likely not physically appeared because it is weird to intentionally specify the name only when you could say more simply the boss has appeared.

I suppose erasing Okiya is another way of saying Okiya leaving the storyline. Okiya could, for example, go back to being Akai, go back to America, or die.
