What do you think about comparing the Detective Boys to the 1st division

[Benno]

Ayumi & Sato, Mitsuhiko & Takagi, Genta & Chiba for instance. Similar character designs, personalities and ability.

I can kind of see Conan disappearing from Ayumi's line of sight similar to how Sato's partner did her (how this happens isn't really relevant), Mitsuhiko eventually stepping in to her vision and Genta developing a childhood friend (even if he doesn't have one now, he is still a child- it could even be Maria Higashio ).

 

I'm not really trying to predict anything from this discussion, it had always just been brought to my attention how similar the characters are, if Gosho was to follow this pathway I certainly wouldn't disagree with it.
