  1. Taking thread creation credit for a Chiba based episode from CarpetCrawler. ... Anyway. I thought it was cute. Chiba is more of a goodie two shoes than Takagi even. Shiratori getting jealous over Chiba and Kobayashi's conversation was amusing. The Subaru part at the beginning made me laugh. Great potential AiCon moment missed with her refusal to move into the Detective Agency. She could have accepted and started making plans for when Conan should collect her boxes - just kidding. Does she not like Conan anymore or is Ai just afraid Conan will be a perv? In any case, it's yet another failure on Ai's part to get Subaru kicked out. She should just set the Kudo house on fire at this point.
  2. The Black Org and the Magic Kaito Org are supposed to be completely different. Also, there is no magic in Detective Conan because that would break a fundamental rule of golden age style detective stories (which DC is): no supernatural explanations. Also, if the boss wanted someone to shrink for testing, why would Haibara tell Shinichi that she thought the Org would kill him before Shiho could see him (which is why Haibara marked him as dead on the Org report)?Also taking over the world is a bit... extreme. None of the members have shown any aspirations towards world domination. Taking over the underworld is a possibility maybe, but I don't even think the Org is going that far. I think the Org's only current main goal is its biochem/computer research goal whatever that is.
  3. Quick reminder to revote/cast your vote because the solution is the next file. (Don't forget there is a week break)
  4. Would the cautious boss of the Black Org really spend his money on a gold plated mansion? Also, the crow symbolism is just too obvious. Gosho usually aims for a lot more subtle references.
  5. First chapter of the prototype - Kaito and Aoko kiss and potentially are legally married. DC - still waiting 785 chapters later for any lip locking. Definitely Magic Kaito flavored. Nakamori being totally different was amusing. I wonder if "Detective Aoko Holmes" was split into Aoko Nakamori and Hakuba Suguru for the Magic Kaito release? It's funny to think they could have been the same character at one point.
  6. Even if he likes to do things on his own agenda, he still has the potential to be pure antagonist, i.e. no secret sympathies like Vermouth to grey the character.
  7. Stay strong Norway!

      Well they've arrested someone in connection with both attacked, so we'll shortly find out.

      Okay! Hmm.. I hope they'll find out who's the culprit! I really hope so..

  11. I like that "collapse of gestaltism". I would think that it would be difficult to rely on though, especially for something as instinctual as a name.
  12. Only in the anime. The Kaito Kid and the clocktower subcase never happened in the DC manga.
  13. è‹¥ Maybe it's the calligraphy, but the bottom half of that first character doesn't look like it matches, especially that little right leg on the downward stroke which is separated from the difficult to read bit right of it. Nevermind. Abs. told me it was cursive and thus the same character. Never liked cursive, English or otherwise.
  14. The reason Serika looked up "wa" ^^^ Nevermind. Abs. told me it was cursive and thus the same character. Never liked cursive, English or otherwise. I will be revising the solution later today.
  15. I've also heard that after this file 785 there will be a break because Gosho is taking one. Then there will be another break after file 786 (the resolution) because Shounen Sunday takes a week off.
  16. I know it was originally left up as a reference, but maybe it's time to take it down because the wiki has long surpassed it as a reference? People still ask questions in the forums about not being able to watch videos and it's interrupted a thread recently. Maybe they wouldn't get confused if it didn't exist? If the watch thread is not gotten rid of, maybe it would be better to change the green message to something slightly stronger like. Sorry, but all the videos were removed because the site was issued an official takedown notice in the past. See the forum for more details (or announcements). The following list is currently for informational purposes only.
  17. 1) A locked topic is one where posting has been disabled. Basically the thread is closed. 2) Posting of full episodes as one chunk or in parts is not allowed because lawyers threatened the site before (which is why the watch section doesn't work). Clips of episodes that show specific scenes or compilations of scenes are OK because those aren't full episodes. AMVs are OK too. Also, let me remind you guys that this thread is for questions about Detective Conan, not the Detective Conan World website itself. If you have questions about DCW or how it works, please ask on the Issues and Feedback subforum.
  18. His age has never been given. I personally estimate he's around Akai's age, but it's impossible to judge because of the ambiguous way Gosho draws him.
  19. Site Policy is no links to full anime episodes, subbed or not. Thread locked
  20. Besides the obvious Gosho wanted it to scar, it was probably deeper damage than most other characters injured in the face received. In the manga there was a bit of blood and if you look closely you can see glass was also involved in the cut as well as the bullet. It depends on the timeframe you look at. If you assume everything is happening in less then a year, they get sick a lot. If you think about it from the perspective that 15+ years of seasons have gone by, they don't get sick that often, once a year or less on average. Jodie was facing backwards by the time he looked up? (at least in the manga)
  21. Nice to meet you too. I'm not very active in forum games, so I hope you will meet me by posting in General D!

  22. It's a more serious lie, but it's one done for reasons Shinichi thinks is good - he thinks Ran is going to jump in and get herself killed. He really has no reason to lie to Haibara because she knows the situation, and neither she to him. They basically don't cooperate against the BO when they could be stronger together. That's worse. Given her faith in Shinichi so far she will manage. I said as much in the original post, but one sided mistrust is better than mutual mistrust. Sports and they like many of the same people. They also have a similar set of ideals (justice, determination, and all).Haibara and Conan don't share many interests either if you think about. She trusts him and they both have a similar set of values which is important for any long term relationship. Experience and intelligence yes, but tastes and traits no.
  23. It's on topic because it's DC related. That Magic Kaito anime episode was a special which is "a part of" Detective Conan. Kaito Kid didn't become popular because of his own manga, it was his appearances in DC that launched his character. They aren't really animating them in earnest although more episodes might come out. I heard a rumor about something this summer. Take a look in the anime subforum for more info.Edit: There doesn't seem to be any info on this in this forum. Try here: http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=6647.0 If you are talking about how they get money, they blackmail people, steal it directly, as well as recruit investors for their projects. BO members who are high ranking in non-illegal companies (like Pisco) may also funnel money to the BO; Pisco's BO division is "fundraising" according to official guidebook Conan Drill. There was a case involving information about gold the BO may have had. Besides operations and supplies, Conan suspects they use a lot of their money for research projects, including APTX and getting programmers to make programs for them (like Itakura). You can find more information at the BO wiki page or take a look at theories in various forum threads like "Black Organization's true plan".
  24. I suggest you avoid page 5. As an Aicon, I have accepted the fact that it's more likely Gin and Shiho have made it to home plate than Shinichi and Shiho will make it to first base. That Gin and Vermouth are/have been in a sexual relationship is canon. It's in one of the official guidebooks.
