I made no conjectures... The information I have stated has been confirmed by the manga. I stated that the BO is murderous and that they commit other sorts of crimes, and probably committed others (we only know they were involved in Murder, larceny and extortion as far as I can remember). I stated that we know nothing about the boss other than that he controls the org from the shadows, which has been confirmed and is how Conan knows his number. We also know that he allows a certain amount of freedom to those whom he trusts, which seems to be Vermouth [and Gin maybe, this is as of yet confirmed], but mostly Vermouth, but he still ultimately controls them and knows everything they do (and allows it). Therefore, he is still the greatest criminal. He doesn't NEED to do anything, much like Professor Moriarty. In fact, it would be quite fair to call Anokata the Professor Moriarty of DC, and Gin would be the most likely candidate for Colonel Sebastian Moran. And the only conjecture I made (which I believe is quite fair) is that the greatest criminals in history are those whom remain unknown and get away. Which is quite true, and them getting away is the reason they are considered the greatest criminals. The great criminals are those that merely get away but are still implicated, where as the best are never implicated to begin with but are still known for their crimes.

That's the thing... You know enough, which is that he is pulling the strings... Another example... Jack the Ripper... How much exactly do people know about him? Pretty much nothing except that he killed 5 women, and was implicated in a dozen other murders (or something, I don't feel like looking up the exact number of people that he supposedly killed). And yet he is regarded as one of the greatest criminals of the end of the 19th Century. You don't need to know anything about a person to recognize them as the greatest criminal. Hell the fact that they are still unknown or information is limited on them is further proof that they are the greatest criminal. It is their actions and the fact that they are able to remain anonymous that make them great. Here is a literary example... Professor Moriarty... No one knew anything about him, including Holmes in the beginning. And it took Holmes a great deal of time to learn anything about him. And while Holmes was fighting underground, the police and Watson were unaware of his existence. I think Mozzie from White Collar said it best "In this business, no reputation is the best reputation."

Inuyasha would have been infinitely better if it was the Miroku and Sango show.

That fact is inconsequential to him being the greatest criminal or not... Allow me to liken it to modern day events... Anokata = Osama bin Laden... They both are leaders of their respective organization (or were in the case of Bin Laden), both control things from the shadows never revealing themselves (well rarely for Bin Laden, but it wouldn't be a mystery if Anokata revealed himself), they both finance everything. Now... what happened to Osama again...? He was killed on sight as one of the greatest criminals of our generation. Now granted, Anokata won't be killed, I mean this is Gosho's manga... and killing is viewed as bad. But after controlling a murderous organization for so long and doing so much damage to the world (especially Japan), there is no way he will get away. He will be viewed as the greatest criminal at the and should be considered as such now. We know he controls every thing and we know that the alcohol code named members listen to his commands. The mastermind is always charged above their underlings. It is how the world works. Hell... if you were born into the Org (like Sherry), the prosecution would take that into account and likely make a plea deal to implicate the willing members further, and allow for a lighter if any sentence at all. The ONLY way for him/her NOT to be the greatest criminal is if it is revealed that it was a black bag operation by the CIA or Japanese equivalent intelligence agency in an effort to control and mediate the Japanese (international?) underworld. That is however highly unlikely because that would make the Japanese government into bad guys because they allowed for the deaths of hundreds (if not more) and several times the destruction of public and private property. And whatever other crimes we don't know about. Not to mention the international implications of one of the top members killing on American Soil (or on Japanese soil if it is CIA). So the likelihood of this scenario is nil. \ In the end.... no matter what... Anokata will be the greatest criminal.

They don't need to say anything... They need to show their conviction by removing the site.

Well ya see... I killed this guy who ruined my life by lying to me and stealing a bunch of my money about 10 years ago... The police arrived and this strange man name Mouri Kogorou...I think...came too (no idea why... Did police start out sourcing?) I recall him saying something about being the greatest detective or something... (he wasn't very bright)... This girl named Ran (who knew how to fight WAY too well) came along with him (she was his daughter iirc) with this kid named "Conan Edogawa" (could never forget that name and unlike the idiot seemed far too bright)... A long story short.... The kid was deducing how I killed this guy from behind the idiot, I caught him doing so (seemed kinda obvious tbh...) And the police threw him out as the idiot woke up and said his best friend did it, thus clearing my name. His best friend went to jail, and I was intrigued in this kid.... So I have been following him around watching his exploits... Quite interesting really... To this day he is afraid I'll reveal his secret which I found out after doing a bit of investigating, so he leaves me be... (apparently he is afraid some organization dressed in black that uses alcohols for names will come find him and kill him if I say anything) And that is how I came across Detective Conan (or rather how we came across each other).

The song is called Shinkirou. Loveholic is a really good band That said... The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3RYvO2X0Oo

That was quick. What do you think of it?

But that leads to more speculation than answers.... Which is usually fine... but saying some area of speculation is right or wrong isn't something that is normally done... Also... Gosho has a habit of not following through on certain things he says, or at least changing them slightly...

Ah much better.... So based on that... if it IS true (I still have some doubts, but I must say good work), I'd guess that it is a red herring. He explicitly said that Agasa is not the BOSS, which could mean that he is involved in other ways as others have stipulated. Honestly I don't think Gosho is taking anything seriously anymore... Why would he do such a blatant thing to destroy a suspect in the main mystery of his story?

I love how your "source" is A) 2chan (4chan's big brother) and B ) admits that it is hearsay... "reportedly" is a key word there. As I said.... You need RELIABLE sources... 2chan isn't one... Allow me to this way with sources... If you can put it into an academic paper, its good, if not... look elsewhere...

Allow me to say reliable sources are needed. My criteria is link to the original source from a reliable medium (publication from shogakukan or magazine or other interview, and if video, a nico nico link or youtube link), translation from a reliable source, and lastly the link you found it from... The reason I say all of this is that, in all honesty... This is the internet, and you can't believe everything you read. I highly doubt a mystery writer like Gosho would reveal anything in the end game prior to actually inking it. This is the reason why though I find some of the information from some of these "interviews" intriguing, I don't think anything of it unless I can see the original. Because otherwise it is very easily faked. Just saying... If you come back with a forum link with some Kana c/ped with a translation under it and no reference to an identifiable original source, I call it fake.

No one does except Gosho... Anokata is the leader of the BO.

Yes he is.... he has a whole slew of charges that can be brought against him.... Normally I don't post to other forums, but this calls for it... DCTP Forums: Evil deeds and crimes done by Conan Conan a criminal? Definitely... He is just not a murderer.

Fact: all humans use 100% of their brain's capacity (or are at least able to)... The myth that humans can only utilize 10% of the brain's potential has been debunked several times, including once by the Mythbusters. Scientific American Article about said myth I still stand by my initial analysis of Mistu and his apparent intelligence. He has the capacity. Though I can agree with Aeyra on the supposition that he might be better suited to the science field with his imaginative form of intelligence.
