Luck seems to be on his side when a young lady named Masayo Aoshima has an extra ticket, but the concert ends up being the last thing on their minds when they walk into her sister Mina's house and comes upon an apparent suicide.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Suicide?<br /> | image = EP121-122 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Aoshima Residence<br /> | victim = Mina Aoshima<br /> | age = 24 years old<br /> | cause-death = Loss of blood<br /> | suspects = Masayo Aoshima<br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] has his own suspicions though, since he has caught Masayo laughing hard, but can he find enough evidence to prove contrary when the victim is found in a sealed room?<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> Just as it appears the perfect crime has been committed, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] returns with news that could show Mina cared more for her sister than anyone realized. When a spot of Mina's blood is also found on the door, it is all the clues Conan needs to prove Masayo murdered her sister.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Mina Aoshima|Mina Aoshima.jpg|<br /> * Victim (wrist slit)<br /> * 24 years old<br /> * Masayo's younger sister<br /> * Haido Department Store employee}}<br /> {{People|Masayo Aoshima|Masayo Aoshima.jpg|<br /> * 26 years old<br /> * Mina's older sister<br /> * Beika Bank employee}}<br /> {{People|Kenji|Kenji.jpg|<br /> * Mina and Masayo's friend}}<br /> {{People|[[Wikipedia:Ryō (actress)|&lt;font color=&quot;white&quot;&gt;Yumiko Miyada&lt;/font&gt;]]|EP122-Ryo.jpg|<br /> * 25 years old<br /> * Stage name: Ryo<br /> * Real-life actress}}<br /> {{People|Woman|EP121-122 Waitress.jpg|<br /> * Waitress}}<br /> {{People|Man|EP121-122 Cashier.jpg|<br /> * Cashier}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Masayo Aoshima'''. She killed her little sister and roommate Mina after, for several years, she copied and imitated her in everything; at first she found it cute and funny, but later she thought it was disturbing, and then she snapped when Mina told her she and Kenji, her ex boyfriend, were dating, and she said it in a tone that was the last straw.<br /> <br /> At first, Masayo's plan was to lock Mina in a makeshift poisoned/locked room with a poured bathroom cleaner as the improvised 'weapon', expecting Mina to die of asphixiation. The cleaner was too soft, however; therefore Masayo knocked her victim out, filled the tub with water and slit Mina's wrist, placing her injured arm inside the water so she'd bleed out faster. Then she left Mina's corpse and got ready to leave to the Yoko concert, using Kogoro as her alibi.<br /> <br /> The clue that let Conan identify Masayo as Mina's killer was the reddish Yoko headband that she was wearing. One of the letters forming Yoko's name was smeared in something red, Mina's blood, which was not only on the water but on the door. At some point Masayo looked through the keyhole right after killing Mina, and that's when her headband got bloodstained.<br /> <br /> After Masayo was cornered, had her cover blown and explained her reasons, Kenji said that Mina never intended to hurt Masayo's feelings; in fact, he was the one who asked her out, and Mina said it was her to not make Masayo feel needlessly bad. Conan-as-Kogoro adds that the cleaner was a soft one because Mina purchased it thinking of Masayo's safety since she was the one who usually cleaned the bathroom at home. Masayo emotionally collapses and is seen holding Mina's corpse in tears.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:<br /> :* Mina Aoshima - Maya Garrett<br /> :* Masayo Aoshima - Mindy Garrett<br /> :* Kenji - Kenneth<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * This is the last episode where [[Yuri Amano]] voiced Yoko Okino, as she temporarily retired from voice acting in 2000.

Minako had found out that Sugiyama and another teacher (Shimoda, but she didn't tell his name to Yonehara) were involved in foul play concerning the school's entrance exams, and added that she was planning to confront the unnamed teacher. The poor girl was found hanged in the school gym a few days later, and while everyone thought Minako had committed suicide under the effect of stress over the upcoming exams, Yonehara deduced that she had been killed by Sugiyama and his accomplice.<br /> <br /> Knowing the identity of only one of Minako's two murderers, Yonehara organized the trip to gather the teachers that she knew Minako looked up to. She first killed Sugiyama and left his body hidden outside the lodge to freeze ''and'' trick people in regards to the time of his death. Later, she attacked Sonoko to have an alibi, then immediately afterwards pretended to be a victim as well (using Sugiyama's body to such effects, that's the &quot;Yonehara&quot; Sonoko ''actually'' saw before being attacked), and used her lipstick to spell out Minako's name in all of these cases. Shimoda's panicked reaction upon realizing the last detail revealed his involvement to her, so she tricked him into meeting up with her and killed him as well.<br /> <br /> The murder weapon was Yonehara's wig: she had cut her hair too short for her liking a while ago and hid it via a very long wig, and then decided to use it to strangle her victims by braiding it, excluding Sonoko as seen in the picture, without leaving clues. Ran says that there were small bloody scratches on the dead Shimoda's neck, and that there are some droplets of his blood in the wig.<br /> <br /> Seeing that she’s been uncovered, Yonehara takes off the wig. She admits her responsibility for the crimes and says she couldn't forgive those teachers who betrayed their students and even killed one of them, but then she adds she's not one to talk because she harmed Sonoko to make her trick work.<br /> <br /> Ran, whose emotional state had slowly taken a nosedive as Conan relayed the deductions to her, gets ready to leave the room, barely reacting to Mouri telling her that he'll write a great article on &quot;her&quot; deductions. She sees Conan standing outside the hall, ready to &quot;tell&quot; her that Shinichi is gone; before he can do so, she falls to her knees and hugs him tearfully. Two hours later the snowstorm stops, and the police arrives.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Manga to anime changes ==<br /> {{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br /> * The reason why Conan refrains from knocking out Ran is due to her nearly finding out his identity in [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]]. The anime omits this reason as it places the two stories in a different order.<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are: <br /> :* Akiko Yonehara - Anne Preston<br /> :* Kohei Shimoda - Paul Keen<br /> :* Ryuichi Sakai - Brett Shore<br /> :* Minori Nakamura - Shelly Tilton<br /> :* Sugiyama - Larry Sullivan<br /> :* Atsushi Mori - Drake Ziegman<br /> :* Minako Mochizuki - Moreen Manahan<br /> * The characters that the culprit wrote on the victim’s hands were changed to be Mass-Acre-Night, spelling out massacre night which in turn was the reason Paul Keen (Kohei Shimoda) had been intimidated.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The Nagano Prefecture snow mountains reappear in Ara lodge from [[Magic Lover's Murder Case#Trivia|Magic Lover's Murder Case]].

It was first aired in February 26, 1996, while the remastered version was aired in January 21, 2017.<br /> <br /> In this episode, [[Conan]], [[Ran]] and [[Kogoro]] go to visit the Beika Art Museum. However, they find out that its owner has been murdered, so Conan had to find who did it.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{Char Appearances|<br /> {{Char|Conan Edogawa}}<br /> {{Char|Kogoro Mouri}}<br /> {{Char|Ran Mouri}}<br /> {{Char|Juzo Megure}}<br /> {{Char|Ayumi Yoshida}}<br /> {{Char|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}<br /> {{Char|Genta Kojima}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Case ==<br /> === Situation ===<br /> Two security guards at the Beika Art Museum see a medieval suit of armor moving on its own. Ran hears the rumor and wants to visit the museum; when Conan and Kogoro mock her for believing it might be true, she forces them to come along after her fearsome display of smashing Kogoro's desk with her fist. While admiring a painting, Ran meets Ochiai, the curator of the museum, who explains his love for the art and then berates a museum worker named Kubota for not handling a painting properly. Another worker, Iijima, takes over the job before they are interrupted by the museum's new owner, Manaka, arriving with an architect. The museum will be demolished soon to make a casino, despite the sale having hinged on the promise to keep the museum open. After Kubota accidentally drops a helmet, Manaka mentions his plans to sell all the museum pieces, which frustrates Kubota enough to throw it down after, but Conan notices that Ochiai doesn't lecture Kubota this time.<br /> <br /> Conan, Kogoro and Ran visit the rest of the museum. As they are about to leave, Ran notices a previously closed gallery has reopened and convinces the other two to come along. In the &quot;Hell Gallery&quot; they first see a large painting of a knight having stabbed a demon in the name of justice, as the wrath of heaven. Ran then hears a dripping sound and turns to find that Manaka has been pinned to the opposite wall by a sword through the throat.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = EP8 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Beika Art Museum &quot;Hell Gallery&quot;<br /> | victim = Manaka<br /> | cause-death = Stab wound on the throat<br /> | suspects = Kubota<br /> | suspects-label = Suspect<br /> | description = Manaka, the new owner of the Beika Art Museum, is found dead in one of the exhibit rooms. The murder scene is a tableau of ''Divine Punishment'', a painting depicting a righteous knight who battled the devil and imprisoned it.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Inspector Megure arrives to investigate, and he, Kogoro, and Conan check the surveillance cameras to see if the culprit was recorded. However, the murderer had been lying in wait in the guise of a knight's suit of armor.<br /> <br /> The surveillance camera caught all of Manaka's brutal murder, multiple stabbings ending with him pinned to the wall and the knight walking away, towards the camera — exactly like, Kogoro and Conan realize, the painting in the gallery. Because the gallery was blocked off at 4 p.m. but re-opened by 5 p.m., and the video timestamps set the murder at about 4:30 p.m., Inspector Megure deduces that the murderer must be a museum worker. Conan also notices that Manaka tried to write something on a piece of paper between the first attack and his death; while he threw the pen away, the paper remains crumpled in his hand, and names Kubota as the killer. Kubota has no alibi as Ochiai had him doing a task in the office, where he was alone. He has motive because, as Iijima reveals, the owner wanted Kubota to repay the money he'd made selling pieces off secretly.<br /> <br /> Conan finds a pen on the ground, which anyone in the museum could have forgotten on the table. It matches the video image and has ink, so Inspector Megure concludes that it was the pen Manaka used. Kubota is detained as they wait for the suit of armor to be found. Conan is unsatisfied with Kubota's apparent carelessness and why he would mirror a painting when he has no great love for art. He's also not sure if he's really the suspect. When Conan went back to the surveillance camera room, he lies to the police officers that Inspector Megure needs help. When the police officers leave, he gets the chance to watch the surveillance footage one more time. He notices that Manaka looks shocked when he sees the paper he writes on, and realizes that the pen Conan found had its point retracted, when there wouldn't have been reason or time for Manaka to retract it before throwing it away. Conan tricks his way into re-examining the dying message, and finds inkless scribbles over the original writing. The police find the armor in Kubota's locker, but Conan has figured out the truth and knows the murderer's trick.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Ochiai|Ochiai.jpg|<br /> * Beika Art Museum curator/director}}<br /> {{People|Kubota|Kubota.jpg|<br /> * Beika Art Museum staff}}<br /> {{People|Iijima|Iijima.jpg|<br /> * Beika Art Museum staff}}<br /> {{People|Manaka|Manaka.jpg|<br /> * Victim (stabbed)<br /> * Beika Art Museum owner}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> ==== Evidence ====<br /> * The security camera recorded Manaka as he seemingly waited for someone. Suddenly, with agility and precision, the relic knight appeared behind him and struck him in the back with its sword. While it prepared to strike again, the owner barely managed to grab a tag from a painting display and a pen that was left right below the art tags, and wrote something down and threw the pen away. The knight slashed him once more and, with a final thrust, ended his life.<br /> * Inspector Megure and Kogoro found a museum staff member's name, Kubota, written on the crumpled paper in Manaka's hand.<br /> * Conan also found the pen on the floor nearby at the armor display.<br /> * The bloodied suit of armor was discovered in Kubota's locker.<br /> * Conan noticed that the pen had its point retracted, the crumpled paper had inkless pen marks on it, and that the artwork tags were in the room, but the pieces weren't. Certainly, Kubota, who didn't seem to have a penchant for the arts, wouldn't have thought to protect those from being damaged.<br /> * Conan viewed the security footage one more time and noticed that when Manaka took the tag and looked at it, he was shocked by what he saw on it.<br /> <br /> ==== Conclusion ====<br /> Manaka was scheduled to have a meeting with '''Ochiai''', the art museum director. Little did the owner know that the director had planned for his death. Ochiai dressed himself with the suit of armor, strategically placed the tag with Kubota's name written on it and the pen with which Manaka apparently used to write the note, and then murdered Manaka medieval style. <br /> <br /> But the little eye of justice had tricks of his own. Conan pulled an &quot;innocent&quot; act of wanting the directions to the toilet be written down by Ochiai. And before the director knew it, he drew the inkless pen from his pocket.<br /> <br /> ==== Motive ====<br /> In the hopes of getting the art museum to stay open, the previous owner who got bankrupt sold the museum to Manaka. Manaka, however, was consumed by his own greed and planned to convert the building into a casino.<br /> <br /> Ochiai was not going to let it happen as he considered the artworks as his children. He killed Manaka to prevent the inevitable.<br /> <br /> And as for Kubota, Ochiai thought it just right to punish the person who had been selling the museum’s art relics and pieces secretly.<br /> <br /> Ochiai also stated that although he committed the murder mimicking the painting of the Heroic Knight killing the Devil. There was more to the story; after the Heroic Knight killed the Devil, he became soaked in the Devil's tainted blood, causing him to become what he tried to destroy.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Manga to anime changes ==<br /> {{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br /> * In the anime, Ran smashes Kogoro's desk to make him and Conan come to the museum. In the manga, she smashes a storage locker.<br /> * At the end of the case in the manga version, Kogoro Mouri is shown reading a newspaper article about himself because he helped the police solve the murder of the museum's owner. This marks the first claim to fame of Kogoro. In the anime version, this is replaced with a scene of the Detective Boys discussing about the aftermath of the museum, and their plan of investigating a case about a &quot;moving skeleton&quot; at night.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * &quot;Divine Punishment&quot; is modeled after the archangel Michael as he's casting a demon out of Heaven.<br /> * In &quot;Detective Conan: Episode Selections&quot; Crunchyroll version of the [[Episode 7|previous episode]], it features the dubbed preview for this episode with [[Case Closed##Studio Nano|Studio Nano]] cast. While the episode aren't released in the selection, it's confirmed that it would be titled as '''&quot;The Case of the Art Museum Owner's Murder&quot;'''.<br /> ** Currently, it is unknown if this episode would get an official release with Studio Nano's English dub.<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Funimation dub ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:<br /> :* Ochiai - Mr. O'Donnell<br /> :* Iijima - Isaac<br /> :* Manaka - Bruce Manaka<br /> * While Manaka and Kubota retain their names in the English Dub, they are named Morrison and Kowalski respectively in the ending credits.<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|00:00|胸がドキドキ|Mune ga Dokidoki|The Pounding of My Heart|[[Mune ga Dokidoki]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|01:45|名探偵コナン・メインテーマ (タイトルver.)|Meitantei Konan・Mein Tēma (Taitoru ver.)|Detective Conan Main Theme (Title ver.)|Unreleased}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|03:15|蘭のテーマ|Ran no Tēma|Ran's Theme|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|05:42|蘭・愛のテーマ|Ran・Ai no Tēma|Ran's Love Theme|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|07:20|脅迫 （パート２）|Kyōhaku (Pāto 2)|Threat (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|07:56|悪のテーマ （パート２）|Aku no Tēma (Pāto 2)|Theme of Evil (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|08:17|悪のテーマ （パート１）|Aku no Tēma (Pāto 1)|Theme of Evil (Part 1)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|08:52|沈む夕陽|Shizumu Yūhi|Depressing Sunset|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|10:02|推理 （不気味ver.）|Suiri (Bukimi ver.)|Deduction (Ominous ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|12:07|事件現場 （オリジナルver.）|Jiken Genba (Orijinaru ver.)|Scene of the Case (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|13:21|推理 （オリジナルver.）|Suiri (Orijinaru ver.)|Deduction (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|15:05|事件現場 （オリジナルver.）|Jiken Genba (Orijinaru ver.)|Scene of the Case (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|16:43|悪のテーマ （パート２）|Aku no Tēma (Pāto 2)|Theme of Evil (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|18:26|対決のテーマ （落ち着きver.）|Taiketsu no Tēma (Ochitsuki ver.)|Showdown Theme (Calm ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|20:14|名探偵コナン・メインテーマ （ヴォーカル・ヴァージョン)|Meitantei Konan・Mein Tēma (Vōkaru・Vājon)|Detective Conan Main Theme (Vocal Version)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|21:39|STEP BY STEP|STEP BY STEP|STEP BY STEP|[[STEP BY STEP]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|23:56|事件解決 （意気揚々ver.）|Jiken Kaiketsu (Ikiyōyō ver.)|Case Resolution (Triumphant ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> {{main gallery}}<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable EpLang}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Arabic|Arabic|جريمة في دار الآثار العامة|A Crime in the Public Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Malaysia|Bahasa Melayu|Kes Pembunuhan Pemilik Muzium Seni|The Art Museum Owner Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Basque Country|Basque|Hilketa Arte Museoan|Murder at the Art Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Catalonia|Catalan (Catalan dub)|El cas de l'assassinat del museu d'art|The Art Museum Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Valencia|Catalan (Valencian dub)|Assassinat en el museu d'art|Murder in Art Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=China|Chinese (Simplified)|美术馆杀人事件|Art Museum Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=France|French|Meurtre au musée|Murder in Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Galicia|Galician|Asasinato no museo de Belas Artes|Murder in the Fine Arts Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Germany|German|Die Strafe des Himmels|The Punishment of Heaven}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Italy|Italian|Mistero al museo|Mistery at Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=South Korea|Korean|미술관 오너 살인 사건|Art Museum Owner Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Poland|Polish|Morderstwo w muzeum sztuki|Murder in an Art Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Portugal|Portuguese|Assassinato no Museu de Arte|Murder in the Art Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=US|Spanish (American dub)|El caso del asesinato en el museo de arte|The Art Museum Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Spain|Spanish (Castilian dub)|Asesinato en el museo de arte|Murder in the Art Museum}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|คดีฆาตกรรมเจ้าของหอศิลป์|Art Gallery Owner Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Vietnam|Vietnamese|Án mạng tại bảo tàng Trung Cổ|The Medieval Museum Murder Case}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Season 1]]<br /> <br /> {{Season 1}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Episodes]]<br /> [[Category:Remastered episode]]<br /> [[Category:Animation directed by Satoshi Ishino]]<br /> <br /> [[ca:El cas de l'assassinat del museu d'art]]<br /> [[de:Episode 8]]<br /> [[fr:Meurtre au musée]]<br /> [[zh:TV8]]</div>

They become alarmed, however, when in one of the next rooms they hear glass shattering, and upon investigating, they witness two men calling each other Kurata and Suzuki arguing: Suzuki, apparently wishing to ditch the transportation company he's working for in favor of a better salary, has already diverted some of his company's loyal customers to their rival, Sanada Transportation. The argument quickly escalates into a fight, and while the Detective Boys are at a loss about what to do, one of the men soon lies dead.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = EP281 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Abandoned house<br /> | victim = Tatsuo Suzuki<br /> | cause-death = Blunt force trauma<br /> | suspects = Eizo Kurata<br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> The [[Detective Boys]] waste no time calling up [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] at the Mouri Detective Agency, but while they do, the killer parks a truck outside and prepares to dispose of the body. Impulsively, they hitch a ride on the truck in order to find out where it will go and are able to escape the culprit's notice as he deposits the body inside, but in the excitement Ayumi has forgotten her Detective Badge, which she had just used to call Conan, and with no time to retrieve it before the killer departs from the scene (and it being the only badge they had brought along), Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta have no way of telling Conan about the course of their ride and eventual point of destination.<br /> <br /> The ride leads the Detective Boys through an unknown part of the city and out into the mountains, where they become ear witnesses of the culprit burying his victim's body, before they return back to the city. They abandon the truck when it is forced to stop at a red light, and while Mitsuhiko and Genta memorize the truck's license number as it drives away, Ayumi calls up Conan. The next day, Conan, his friends and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] investigate the murder scene and trace the truck to the nearby Kurata Transportation Company, where Genta recognizes one of the men they have seen from a portrait of the company's president, Kurata, hanging in the reception area. The receptionists are also able to identify Suzuki as the company's director, and they also reveal that Suzuki had intentions of starting his own company and as a result has gotten into a harsh argument with Kurata, consolidating the Detective Boys' testimony. In addition, as of this morning, neither Kurata nor Suzuki has been accounted for.<br /> <br /> The group finds the truck in question in the firm's parking lot, but a puddle of what the Detective Boys have taken for the victim's blood in the cargo section turns out to be red paint, which makes Kogoro abandon the children in disgust. Conan, however, continues the investigation and begins to backtrack the truck's route and the place where the body is buried from the few pieces of reliable information the Detective Boys have been able to gleam during their nocturnal ride: a branch establishment of a supermarket chain called &quot;White Duck&quot;; a number of certain gas stations they have gone past; a nearby train line; and the point of time at which the truck stopped at an appliance store, remembered by Genta through the climax of a ''[[Kamen Yaiba]]'' episode that was running on a TV screen inside the store's shop window. They proceed into the mountains and find the body's resting place, but are unaware that the killer has noticed their actions and followed them. And after they dig up the body, a major surprise awaits the Detective Boys.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Eizo Kurata|Kurata.jpg|<br /> * Kurata Transportation Company president}}<br /> {{People|Tatsuo Suzuki|Suzuki.jpg|<br /> * Victim (bludgeoned)<br /> * Kurata Transportation Company director and co-founder}}<br /> {{People|Kaori Yamagishi|Kaori Yamagishi.jpg|<br /> * Kurata Transportation Company employee}}<br /> {{People|Megumi Ota|Megumi Ota.jpg|<br /> * Kurata Transportation Company employee}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Conan reveals that the victim is actually Kurata, not Suzuki. During their fight in the abandoned house, '''Suzuki''' had overpowered Kurata and bludgeoned him to death while Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta had momentarily taken their eyes off them. Evidence pointing to Suzuki's guilt is the truck's ashtray, which Conan found to be full of cigarette stumps of the same brand. Of the two men in question, only Suzuki is a smoker, and this is his favorite brand.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Attemped Murder<br /> | image = EP281 Case 2.jpg<br /> | location = Mountain<br /> | victim = Conan Edogawa, Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, and Genta Kojima<br /> | cause-death = Blunt force trauma<br /> | suspects = Tatsuo Suzuki<br /> | suspects-label = Culprit<br /> | description = Suzuki tries to kill Detective Boys by shovel, but they attacked and captured him.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> In desperation, Suzuki prepares to attack the children, but is brought down by the combined efforts of Conan and his friends and surrendered to the police.<br /> <br /> The post-credit sequence entails the Detective Boys first scaring Conan with monster masks and then deciding to play a detective game, with a reluctant Conan as another participant.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The Kurata transportation truck is a 1999 Toyota Dyna.<br /> * In &quot;Detective Conan: Episode Selections&quot; Crunchyroll version of the [[Episode 280|previous episode]], it features the dubbed preview for this episode with [[Case Closed##Studio Nano|Studio Nano]] cast.

This was found in his apartment bathroom, along with Sugiyama.<br /> <br /> ==== Motive ====<br /> * Hanzaki blamed his manager for his lack of fame and success.<br /> <br /> ==== Conclusion ====<br /> Hanzaki was in fact attempting to kill his manager, and was planning on using Takagi to help build his alibi. <br /> The murder was to take place in Hanzaki's apartment's bathroom. He set up the mechanism to kill Sugiyama while he was elsewhere, planning to return afterwards to dump the body.<br /> <br /> ==== Ending ====<br /> The Detective Boys and Takagi arrive just in time to save Sugiyama.

But when he decides to eat the forbidden fruit and have an affair with one of his pretty, young illustrators his life starts to come apart at the seams. But rather than face the consequences of his mistakes, Hanaoka tries to cover them up in a brutal and bloody manner. Can Conan see through his ingenious plot and expose Hanaoka for what he really is?<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = EP60 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Chono household<br /> | victim = Izumi Chono<br /> | age = 25 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blunt force trauma<br /> | suspects = Kenjin Hanaoka<br /> | suspects-label = Culprit<br /> | description = During a heated discussion, Hanaoka loses his temper and bludgeons Chono, regretting that immediately after.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Kenjin Hanaoka|Kenjin Hanaoka.jpg|<br /> * 48 years old<br /> * Painter}}<br /> {{People|Izumi Chono|Izumi Chono.jpg|<br /> * Victim (beaten)<br /> * 25 years old<br /> * Illustrator}}<br /> {{People|Man|Ep60 Man.jpg|<br /> * Hanaoka Design office worker}}<br /> {{People|Tanaka|Ep60 Tanaka.jpg|<br /> * Director caller<br /> * Hanaoka Design office worker}}<br /> {{People|Forensics officer|EP60 Officer.jpg|<br /> * Tokyo MPD forensics officer}}<br /> {{People|Man #2|EP60 Bike courrier.jpg|<br /> * Chono's bike courrier}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Most of the works '''Kenjin Hanaoka''' created were actually created by his apprentice Izumi Chono, who coerced him into having a romantic relationship with her and then threatened to blackmail him to continue supporting her lest she reveal their secret. All the paintings contain a special mark of the victim, an artist's signature of sorts: a butterfly mark. She also occasionally paints the mark on her colleagues and boss/lover as a prank. This would confirm Hanaoka's guilt.<br /> <br /> The trick Hanaoka used after bludgeoning her with a rock crystal ashtray was leaning her body over the balcony of his apartment room. The corpse is tied to a fishing line that is connected to a pulley system using a flower pot as a weight and a nail, which was attached to the apartment door and would become detached when it was opened. He hid evidence of the fishing line by using a contact lens cleaner container as a weight to pull the line down a drain after the pot fell. Hanaoka calls a botanist employee to come over to activate the mechanism and in the midst of the chaos has a one sided conversation, pretending to hear from Chono about her supposed plans to commit suicide.<br /> <br /> After explaining the trick and with Hanaoka asserting that he'd never been to the apartment before, Conan reveals another butterfly mark hidden on his big toe's nail by spilling a cup of coffee and scalding his foot, making him remove his sock. At the start of the episode, Chono had painted said butterfly mark with a newly released nail polish right before Hanaoka woke up (he did not notice it as Chono had put his socks on). The reason Conan was able to figure that there was a butterfly mark on his toe was because bed sheets was stained with some of the nail polish.<br /> <br /> Cornered he reveals his motive, Chono had been his ghost artist and secret lover. Although the two did spent time together a lot Hanaoka saw this as nothing more than a lover’s rendezvous, but Chono wanted more and tried to pressure him into divorcing his wife. That sent him over the edge, and he impulsively grabbed the ash tray and hit her on the head killing her.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are: <br /> :* Kenjin Hanaoka - Horace Hennegraf<br /> :* Izumi Chono - Sadie Olivette<br /> :* Tanaka (the person calling Izumi) - Frederick<br /> :* Hanaoka Design Office - Hennegraf Art and Design<br /> * In the Funimation Dub, Kenjin's other employee (the one talking to Kogoro at the beginning of the episode), is credited as Dr. Wang.<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|1|謎|Nazo|Mystery|[[Nazo]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|2|昼下がりの天使たち|Hirusagari no Tenshitachi|Early Afternoon Angels|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|3|推理 （オリジナルver.）|Suiri (Orijinaru ver.)|Deduction (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|4|推理 （オリジナルver.）|Suiri (Orijinaru ver.)|Deduction (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|5|コナンの危機|Konan no Kiki|Conan's Crisis|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack Super Best]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|6|事件現場２|Jiken Genba 2|Scene of the Case 2|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|7|悪のテーマ （パート２）|Aku no Tēma (Pāto 2) |Theme of Evil (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|8|事件現場 （オリジナルver.）|Jiken Genba (Orijinaru ver.)|Scene of the Case (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|9|サスペンス～危機感|Sasupensu ~ Kikikan|Suspense ~ Impending Crisis|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|10|捜査開始|Sōsa Kaishi|The Investigation Begins|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|11|怪人包帯男１|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 1|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 1|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|12|西の名探偵|Nishi no Meitantei|The Great Detective of the West|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|13|怪人包帯男２|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 2|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 2|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|14|対決のテーマ （落ち着きver.）|Taiketsu no Tēma (Ochitsuki ver.)|Showdown Theme (Calm ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|15|コナンの夢|Konan no Yume|Conan's Dream|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|16|光と影のロマン|Hikari to Kage no Roman|Romance of Light and Shadow|[[Hikari to Kage no Roman]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|17|事件解決（意気揚々ver.）|Jiken Kaiketsu (Ikiyōyō ver.)|Case Resolution (Triumphant ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> {{main gallery}}<br /> &lt;gallery widths=185px perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:EP60 1.jpeg|<br /> File:EP60 2.jpeg|<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable EpLang}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Arabic|Arabic|مصرع فراشة الربيع|The Death of The Spring Butterfly}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Basque Country|Basque|Marrazkilariaren hilketa|}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Catalonia|Catalan (Catalan dub)|El cas de l'assassinat de la il·lustradora|Artist murder case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Valencia|Catalan (Valencian dub)|El cas de l'assassinat de la il·lustradora|Artist murder case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=France|French|Une dessinatrice pleine de talent|A Very Talented Artist}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Galicia|Galician|O asasinato da ilustradora|Artist murder}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Germany|German|Die Schmetterlingsfrau|The Butterfly Woman}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Italy|Italian|Tra i disegni di un'avventura|Between Drawings of Adventure}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=South Korea|Korean|일러스트레이터 살인 사건|An Illustrator Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=US|Spanish (American dub)|El caso de la ilustradora asesinada|Murdered artist case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Spain|Spanish (Castilian dub)|El asesinato de la dibujante|Cartoonist murder}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|คดีฆาตกรรมนักวาดภาพ|An illustrator murder case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Vietnam|Vietnamese|Vụ mưu sát họa sĩ vẽ tranh minh họa|An illustrator attempt murder case}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Season 2]]<br /> <br /> {{Season 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Episodes]]<br /> [[Category:Animation directed by Toshiko Sasaki]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Episode 62]]<br /> [[zh:TV60]]</div>

The bomb was actually not contained in the golf ball Eisuke Tachibana hit but rather the golfball that was already stuffed into the driver head he was using. Tomofumi was the only one who could do it as he was supposedly repairing some shaft damages on Tachibana's driver for two nights. The ball they discovered at the crime scene was just a substitute. Tomofumi planned to frame Yasui for the murder by faking a stomach ache so Yasui would collect the ten balls Tachibana would use and leave the explosion as the only uninjured suspect. Tomofumi claimed he did not care if innocent people died, but Conan tells Ran that he didn't believe it because Minami warned him to not get too close right before Tachibana's &quot;explosive&quot; death, meaning he saved Conan from the explosion at the last minute.<br /> <br /> === Motive ===<br /> Tomofumi killed his boss for overlooking his talent and framed Yasui who received preferential treatment for brown-nosing.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are: <br /> :* Eisuke Tachibana - Einstein Achurbee<br /> :* Minoru Yasui - Sean Yoeman<br /> :* Tatsuya Okubo - Tatum Harbowly<br /> :* Tomofumi Minami - Michael Achurbee<br /> :* Itsui Electronics - Goy Electronics<br /> :* Katsuta - Albert Jordenly<br /> :* Keiko Katsuta - Kristin Jordenly<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|1|Feel Your Heart|Feel Your Heart|Feel Your Heart|[[Feel Your Heart]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|2|蘭のテーマ|Ran no Tēma|Ran's Theme|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|3|のんびり気分|Nonbiri Kibun|Carefree Feeling|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|4|脅迫 （パート２）|Kyōhaku (Pāto 2)|Threat (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|5|事件現場 （謎ver.）|Jiken Genba (Nazo ver.)|Scene of the Case (Mystery ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|6|犯人のアジト （いよいよver.）|Hannin no Ajito (Iyoiyo ver.)|The Culprit's Hideout (More and More ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|7|事件現場 （オリジナルver.）|Jiken Genba (Orijinaru ver.)|Scene of the Case (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|8|怪人包帯男２|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 2|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 2|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|9|西の名探偵|Nishi no Meitantei|The Great Detective of the West|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|10|悪のテーマ （パート１）|Aku no Tēma (Pāto 1)|Theme of Evil (Part 1)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|11|怪人包帯男１|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 1|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 1|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|12|蘭のテーマ （優しさver.）|Ran no Tēma (Yasashisa ver.)|Ran's Theme (Gentle ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|13|事件解決（意気揚々ver.）|Jiken Kaiketsu (Ikiyōyō ver.)|Case Resolution (Triumphant ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|14|迷宮のラヴァーズ|Meikyū no Lovers|Lovers' Labyrinth|[[Meikyū no Lovers]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|15|蘭のテーマ|Ran no Tēma|Ran's Theme|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> {{main gallery}}<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The trick utilised in this case pays tribute to ''The Sweet Shot'', a short detective story (collected in ''Trent Intervenes'') written by [[wikipedia:Edmund Clerihew Bentley|E.

When Mitsuhiko throws the ball, Genta hits it so hard that it went away to someone's yard. When they go there, they rang the door bell, and the mysterious man named Yoshikazu Watanuki appears to them. Conan asks if he could have the ball back from Watanuki's yard. Watanuki refuses and won't give the ball back. He then tells Conan and the Detective Boys to go away. The Detective Boys think that he's really mean. When Conan and the Detective Boys went to the Mouri detective agency, they see a man named Masao Kouda from Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, which is famous for the cosmos flowers. Conan asks him if he's meeting Kogoro. After that, they went inside, and Kouda asks Kogoro if he could find his missing younger sister, Sanae Kouda. He claims Watanuki has killed his sister and has buried her in his yard.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime = Missing Person - Murder?<br /> | image = EP107-108-1 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Watanuki's household<br /> | victim = Sanae Kouda<br /> | age = 26 years old<br /> | suspects = Yoshikazu Watanuki<br /> | description = Kouda's younger sister Sanae went missing a month ago while she had gone to conduct business at Watanuki household and has since been missing.

Later, Kouda had stolen the jewels.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Robbery<br /> | image = EP107-108b Case.jpg<br /> | location = Enokida Jewelry<br /> | time =<br /> | suspects = Masao Kouda<br /> | suspects-label = Culprit<br /> | description =<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Making things worse is the intent he has to break into Watanuki's yard when Watanuki's gone to the hospital for his weekly Saturday treatment. Conan believes the story at first, but a call with Kouda's voice causes him to begin doubting everything he has heard.<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> Kouda hides stolen jewelry in Watanuki's yard to force the police department to dig it up, but unbeknown to him is that Mother Nature has caused an optical illusion to fool witness Shinichi Mochida. Can Conan prove Masao's innocence before a guilty man gets away permanently?<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Yoshikazu Watanuki|Yoshikazu Watanuki.jpg|<br /> * 63 years old<br /> * Retired}}<br /> {{People|Masao Kouda|Masao Kouda.jpg|<br /> * 29 years old<br /> * Sanae's older brother}}<br /> {{People|Sanae Kouda|Sanae Kouda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (missing)<br /> * 26 years old<br /> * Tohto Securities Beika Branch employee}}<br /> {{People|Shinichi Mochida|Shinich Mochida.jpg|<br /> * 35 years old<br /> * Office worker}}<br /> {{People|[[Detective Shimizu]]|Detective Shimizu.jpg|<br /> * Detective from Beika Police Station}}<br /> {{people|Police officer|officer mole.png|<br /> * Tokyo MPD Police officer}}<br /> {{people|Man|EP108 Man.jpg|<br /> * Taxi driver}}<br /> {{people|Woman|EP108 Woman.jpg|<br /> * Beika Central Hospital front desk}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Effectively, '''Yoshikazu Watanuki''' did kill Sanae. She worked for a firm which Watanuki had invested for, so Sanae tried to convince him to keep investing so she wouldn't lose her job upon it. Watanuki refused and went towards his room on the second floor, but Sanae tried to stop him by following him after taking off her heels. He tried to push her away and then Sanae lost her balance, plummeting down the stairs and dying when she hit her head on the wall.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime = Accident<br /> | image = EP107-108a Case.jpg<br /> | location = Watanuki's household<br /> | victim = Sanae Kouda<br /> | age = 26 years old<br /> | time =<br /> | cause-death = Blunt force trauma to the Head<br /> | suspects = Yoshikazu Watanuki<br /> | suspects-label = Culprit<br /> | description = Watanuki accidentally pushed Sanae down the stairs after pushing her away which caused her death.<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Watanuki, upon seeing that he had accidentally killed the girl, buried her body in a small empty place near the construction site. He incessantly watched it so no one would find it, but there was something he didn't know. Sanae had a small flower seed bag in her pocket, a gift from one of her friends. The seeds grew and the flowers blossomed, signifying the place where she was &quot;buried&quot;.<br /> <br /> Masao had to go to trial due to the robbery, but was declared not to be a danger to society and given a suspended sentence. He retrieved his sister's ashes as well as the flower plant &quot;born&quot; from the seeds, and returned to his hometown in peace to arrange for Sanae's official burial.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:<br /> :* Yoshikazu Watanuki - Walter Rivers<br /> :* Masao Kouda - Matthew Kohler<br /> :* Sanae Kouda - Celia Kohler<br /> :* Shinichi Mochida - Sean Moss<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * According to the Detective Boys, this case is the month later [[Hijacked Department Store Case#Trivia|Hijacked Department Store Case]].<br /> * In Watanuki house, the Takei villa's painting is from [[The False Kidnapping and Hostage Case#Trivia|The False Kidnapping and Hostage Case]].

He used a fishing rod as a murder weapon, using its sinker to smash Imoto's head. Sunflower pots were broken in the process and so the illusion the murder was created by physical bludgeoning was created. Evidence to his crime includes the deep imprint he left on the abandoned apartment next-door to the victim's (an imprint that in these circumstances could only be caused by a whip fishing stance) and that could be examined with the murderer's own shoes. Also in the process of the murder a stray bird was accidentally struck in the weapon's line of fire and a mark from the sinker was formed on the veranda railing. The final decisive evidence was the grip rod found in the building that had his fingerprints on it.<br /> <br /> His motive for killing Imoto was that he shut down a fishing tackle shop he owned which the victim was going to renovate into company property. The last straw came when he rejected Terasawa's pleas and broke one of his precious fishing rods.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Building demolition (Past)<br /> | image = EP53 Case-2-.jpg<br /> | location = Terasawa's fishing tackle shop<br /> | victim = Norio Terasawa<br /> | age = 43 years old<br /> | cause-death = Demolished<br /> | cause-death-label = Cause<br /> | suspects = Ryusuke Imoto<br /> | suspects-label = Culprit<br /> | description = He was stopped demolished his store from Imoto, but Imoto broke one of his precious fishing rods.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> In the post credit scene, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan were fishing, which led Kogoro to wonder if Conan gave him that fishing hint on purpose.

Later, they find out that the rented car has been washed away and that they are stranded. After walking around, they find a house owned by the same man they met at the tennis court. Later, the man asks them to call his father down, but find him hanged in his room.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Suicide?<br /> | image = EP331-332 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Akashi household<br /> | victim = Iwao Akashi<br /> | age = 65 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hanging<br /> | suspects = Hiroto Akashi<br /> | description = Iwao bled from his mouth where two teeth were removed.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> Conan solves the case but has lost his voice.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Hiroto Akashi|Hirota Akashi.jpg|<br /> * 32 years old<br /> * Tennis instructor}}<br /> {{People|Iwao Akashi|Iwao Akashi.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hanged)<br /> * 65 years old<br /> * Hiroto's adoptive father}}<br /> {{People|Mrs. Akashi|No pic female.jpg|<br /> * Deceased<br /> * Iwao's wife<br /> * Hiroto's adoptive mother}}<br /> {{people|Ms. Akashi|Ms. Akashi.jpg|<br /> * Deceased 2 years ago (accident)<br /> * Hiroto's wife}}<br /> {{people|Police officer A|EP332 OfficerA.jpg|<br /> * Gunma prefecture police officer}}<br /> {{people|Police officer B|EP332 OfficerB.jpg|<br /> * Gunma prefecture police officer}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;As usual the death was not a suicide but a murder committed by '''Hiroto Akashi'''. Conan lost his voice in the middle of the investigation and so he had to play charades to get Inspector Yamamura, Sonoko, and Mouri to figure out the murder method. Hirota bound and gagged his step father's mouth and wrists using a napkin and rope respectively. The cord used to activate the light in his bedroom along with a few extracted electric cables were tied around critical points in his teeth. Having put him in the proper hanging position he forces his step-father to hold the bite otherwise his neck would have instantly snapped. The napkin apart from hiding large curry traces (eating huge quantities being an irregular activity for one about to commit suicide) was primarily used to prevent Iwao Akashi from calling for help. Ran hears this as the old man giving a muffled cry to establish an alibi for Hiroto who was busy cleaning dishes in the kitchen. After feeling secure, Hiroto finishes the job by pulling at the cord in the dining room. The lights in the household operate simultaneously. It is explained there are three phases to the lights in the Akashi household. If Hiroto had the lights preset to the standby orange light then he could turn off the light in his father's room. Incidentally the cords in his step-father's room retract when doing so, so this releases all the ropes binding his mouth, hanging him, and violently tearing out two of his molars in the process.<br /> <br /> The plan was premeditated with Hiroto waiting at the tennis courts for random travelers to pick up so he could have witnesses to the suicide and prepared an extra batch of curry rice for the occasion.<br /> <br /> Upon discovery of the body, Hiroto hid one of the severed teeth in the curry rice dish his step-father ate and made excuses that the lost teeth were caused due to a previous dental surgery and that the sudden moment of his death caused bleeding from the gums. Conan points out this cannot be the case as his father ate curry like the rest and it is ill-advised for post dental surgery patients to eat spicy food. Noticing the presence of rope markings on his wrists puts further doubt onto the theory of suicide and then the rest of the murder is explained.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Accident (past)<br /> |time = From two years ago<br /> | image = EP331-332 Case2.jpg<br /> | location = Akashi household<br /> | victim = Ms. Akashi<br /> | age = unknown<br /> | cause-death = Stroke<br /> | description = Two years ago, Hiroto's wife died after trying to go home after she bought mushrooms to cook for Iwao. She had a stroke and fainted but since she was in the woods, nobody went to save her.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> The motive is that Mr Akashi caused the death of Hiroto's wife. One day when it was raining heavily, Iwao Akashi forced the mistress to <br /> go to the nearest supermarket and buy mushrooms he insisted on having his dinner with. The trip was dangerous as the Akashis lived in a household isolated from the Karuizawa urban community. To go to the supermarket would mean Hiroto's wife would have to travel a long distance through the forest. She also had a severe cold at the time.<br /> The fatigue of traveling and her illness caused her to collapse. She never woke up and it was not until days later that the police discovered her body: albeit completely decomposed from the moisture and fungi.<br /> <br /> Hiroto was grieved by his step-father's gross negligence but it was not until he heard his father's last words at the funeral that his outlook of him forever change.<br /> Iwao snickers contentment that his step-son's wife died as she was physically frail and not worth having as a spouse to physically superior tennis coach like Hiroto.<br /> Hearing his arrogance and later his apparent refusal to live with others, Hiroto kills him out of revenge and to escape his isolated life.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The tennis court in this case is the same tennis court that appears in [[Conan in a Locked Room]].<br /> * This is the first case that mentioned the owner of [[Cafe Poirot]], who apparently volunteered to take care of an unwell Conan for that day.<br /> * This is the first time since [[Magic Lover's Murder Case]], that Conan had had a cold, only this time, he fell into a river, and hurt his wrist, and had to wear a sling, and lost his voice.<br /> * When Sonoko stated that they are heading to Kariorizawa, and Conan mentioned wanting to see Sonoko's summer home in Kariorizawa, they might be referring to Karuizawa, which the OVA [[16 Suspects!?]] took place in. However at the time of the OVA, the Suzukis did not have a villa or summer home there at the time. The Kudos did, but not Sonoko's family. If it is the same local, they may have bought or built one since then.<br /> * This is the first time that Sonoko will refer to herself as the &quot;Queen of Deductions&quot;.<br /> * This is the case that the Deduction show really was a game of charades.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> {{main gallery}}<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> === Part 1 ===<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|1|風のららら|Kaze no Lalala|The Wind's Lalala|[[Kaze no Lalala]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|2|昼下がりの天使たち （摩天楼ヴァージョン）|Hirusagari no Tenshitachi (Mantenrō Vājon)|Early Afternoon Angels (Skyscraper Version)|[[Detective Conan &quot;The Time-Bombed Skyscraper&quot; Original Soundtrack]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|3|暗号トリックの解読|Angō Torikku no Kaidoku|The Trick to Deciphering the Code|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 4 ~Isoge!

Sonoko shows everyone a flyer advertising the troupe's production and reads aloud that the show will be the first public performance run by Tamanosuke since becoming the troupe's second ringleader. Tamanosuke confirms this, later explaining that his troupe travels around the entire country and was previously in Beika two years prior when his father was the ringleader. When Ran mentions that she heard his father passed away, Tamanosuke confirms that the previous ringleader died of a disease the previous year. When his father died, half the troupe subsequently left, making transition very challenging. Sonoko volunteers herself and Ran to distribute the troupe's flyers so that Tamanosuke can concentrate on practicing for the big show.<br /> [[File:Episode 126 scene 2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Detective Boys smirk at the idea of doing what they're told.]]<br /> Later, at the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran and Sonoko meet up with the Detective Boys while planning how to hand out fliers. When Conan and the Detective Boys ask to go as well, Sonoko tells them to wait until the performance. When the door closes, all four children simply smirk at the idea of listening to what they were told to do. After arriving at the theatre, Sonoko decides to go in the front door, despite being told earlier to enter through the back. Ran attempts to change her mind, but to no avail. Once inside, the two girls see a man and woman onstage practicing for the show and applaud them for their routine. When Tamanosuke welcomes them both, Ran and Sonoko apologize for intruding, as do the Detective Boys who snuck in too. An upset Sonoko scolds them for not listening, but Tamanosuke simply welcomes the children and thanks the girls for bringing them. He goes on to introduce everyone to the performers on stage: Ryuichi Muraki, age 26, playing the role of Edo Boy, and Yuri Shirai, age 22, who plays the main heroine. Sonoko introduces herself and Ran to the onstage performers and explain that they are passing out the flyers. She then tells Muraki that he had amazing moves, which he and Yuri explain are necessary in order to remain in the troupe. As Tamanosuke begins to take Ran, Sonoko, and the Detective Boys backstage, Muraki tells him to hurry back with the script because the show is in two days. Sonoko and Ran apologize for upsetting things and tell Muraki that they’ll be gone as soon as they get the flyers.<br /> [[File:Episode 126 scene 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tamanosuke's sister, Megumi, comes across everyone backstage.]]<br /> Backstage, Tamanosuke tells everyone not to take that to heart and that the script is finally finished. A concerned Sonoko asks whether that will be enough time, to which Tamanosuke admits that there is a lot to still get done and not much time left to practice. Suddenly, a door opens and out comes a little girl. Tamanosuke introduces her as his Megumi Ito, his little sister. Megumi tells them that her brother is unreliable and makes her worry. As Tamanosuke laughs it off, she states that his personality has pushed the troupe to its limits and that he no longer has time to talk to girls anymore. Sonoko tries to defend him by saying that they are all helping him by choice, but Megumi says she will take over for Tamanosuke so that he can get back to work. As her brother leaves to get the script, Megumi takes an immediate liking to Conan.<br /> [[File:Episode 126 scene 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megumi shares a photo of Tamanosuke as a child in geisha attire.]]<br /> In Tamanosuke’s room, Megumi begins going through the unpacked baggage to find the photo of her brother as a kid. The photo of a young Tamanosuke dressed as a geisha catches Conan off guard, thinking to himself that he looks nothing like that. Ayumi and Sonoko both find the photo adorable, while Genta observes that Tamanosuke looks like a doll. The only one to see any resemblance of Conan turns out to be Ran. When Ayumi begins tugging at Conan’s arm, saying that he would look cute all dressed up like that, Megumi looks on with jealousy and takes Conan off to the makeup room. An increasingly upset Ayumi, along with Mitsuhiko and Genta, quickly follow along while Ran and Sonoko take their time.<br /> [[File:Episode 126 scene 5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Tamanosuke is kicked out of the room by the scriptwriter, Tetsuo Chikaishi.]]<br /> When Megumi, still clung onto Conan, and everyone reach their destination, they notice a woman inside who Megumi introduces as Itoe Ogara, the troupe’s treasurer. As she leaves the room, Itoe asks Megumi if Conan is her boyfriend. After a round of denials, the Detective Boys, minus Conan, play dress up with the Geisha props. Suddenly the building shakes. Everyone stops what they are doing and rush into the hall.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Tamanosuke is thrown out of a room and into the hallway where he slams into a wall. Muraki and Yuri both rush from the stage to see what’s going on, the former rushing to the ringleader who was sprawled out on the floor. When Megumi, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, and the Detective Boys reach the hallway and see Tamanosuke on the ground, Megumi rushes over to her brother’s side. When his sister asks him if he’s okay, Tamanosuke tells Megumi he is fine, all the while gasping for breath. While the visitors look on in shock, Itoe returns from her office in complete shock. Muraki yells at the man, Tetsuo Chikaishi, who threw Tamanosuke, asking him what he meant by a disagreement over the script. Chikaishi responds by stating that he finished the script and is in the process of printing it out, but that Tamanosuke requested he rewrite the ending. The writer defends his actions by saying that he was simply trying to scare the ringleader, stating that the boy has no way of understanding society at such a young age. Looking for agreement, he asks a second man in the room, Kenzo Tajima, who simply glares back at Chikaishi. Noticing that his cigar had run out, the writer throws a bag of coins to Tajima and tells him to go buy cigarettes. Although Yuri offers to do the task for him, Tajima simply complies.<br /> <br /> Once Tajima has left, Megumi tells Chikaishi that he had too far this time, leading her brother to try and calm her down. Tamanosuke asks why the ending can’t be rewritten, to which the writer answers, “Fact is fact, fiction is fiction. You can’t mix it together.” The young ringleader chooses to give in, thanking the writer for his hard work and telling everyone that they need to go rehearse. Although Muraki, Yuri, Megumi, and Itoe all rush to his aid when he struggles to get to his feet, Tamanosuke tells them that he’ll go to his room for a bit. Megumi lends herself for support as the two siblings head for the ringleader’s room. Conan thinks to himself that age aside, there was no need for Tamanosuke to get so agitated; the little detective believes there is more to the story than the ringleader let on.<br /> <br /> Later, Conan entered the room where Chikaishi was working. As the young detective puts on his child façade, Conan speaks out loud about how surprising it is that the script prints out so slowly. When the printer finished, he grabbed the script and began to skim it, all the while being stared at in confusion by Chikaishi. Conan reads the title aloud as “Kaito Edo Boy”, surprising himself for real this time. The writer confirms what Conan is thinking, telling him that the current day thief inspired him to write the script. Suddenly, Itoe take the script from Conan, however, and goes to photocopy it per Tamanosuke’s request. As Chikaishi closes his laptop and pulls out a disk, he notices the Detective Boys reading through his notebook compiled of notes on Edo Boy. When Ayumi asks Conan who Edo Boy is, he tells everyone that he is a nationally famous thief that recently appeared near Tokyo just half a year prior. Conan goes on to say that Edo Boy is a new-age thief that escapes via rooftops or jumping around off as if he was weightless, a talent that would later earn him the name “Flying Kid” from the police.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime = Robbery (Past) - Multiple Counts <br /> | image = EP126-127a Case.jpg <br /> | location = Various <br /> | victim = Various <br /> | cause-death =<br /> | suspects = Edo Boy <br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Conan asks Chikaishi if he is right, later stating how some of the people in the troupe could do acrobatics similar to that of Edo Boy. Getting straight to the point, the young detective asks if Edo Boy is somebody in the troupe. Chikaishi confirms the theory, stating that the troupe travels all around Japan to perform. When Muraki and Yuri suddenly appear at the doorway of the room, Chikaishi blurts out that Muraki had once been questioned by the police. Yuri looks away and chooses to leave the room, shortly followed by a glaring Muraki. Chikaishi then claims that he understands why the ringleader would want the troupe to do a performance based on Edo Boy, which is why he did so much research himself, and that the data concerning everything is on the laptop. When Ran and Sonoko pop their heads in the room calling for Conan, the writer tells the kids to get out. Once the door closed, Ran comments about how much trouble Chikaishi made for Tamanosuke. When Conan asks where he is, Ran says that Tamanosuke is resting from such a big shock. Ran then says that is time to go, with Sonoko adding in that they got the flyers. Conan says he and the Detective Boys don’t want to leave yet, but Sonoko tells them that they have to help distribute the flyers. As Sonoko leads the way, Conan mentions that the exit is in the other direction. She claims that by going through the backstage, it’s quicker to get to the station, leading the Detective Boys to discuss what kind of food they want Sonoko to buy them there.<br /> <br /> At the station, while Ran and Sonoko are busy handing out flyers to people, Conan puts his stack into a brochure kiosk and runs toward towards the theatre in an attempt to sneak away. However, predicting Conan’s actions, the Detective Boys soon follow. Despite his best efforts to ditch the three children, Conan gives in and simply allows them to tag along. Upon returning to the theatre, Megumi runs into the hall wearing her costume for the play where she notices the visibly shocked Detective Boys. Pleased that they hadn’t gone home yet, Megumi asks Conan if she looks pretty and that she will be practicing soon. When Conan asks where the ringleader is, Tamanosuke walks out of the same run his sister came from, also in performance attire. Unlike with Megumi, the Detective Boys all think Tamanosuke’s costume looks cool. Conan asks the ringleader if he plays the role of the boss in the performance, to which Tamanosuke confirms, noting that their rehearsal is about to begin. When he offers the children the chance to watch them practice, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko all accept.<br /> <br /> As Ayumi walks around the stage admiring the props, Tamanosuke arrives and yells to Ayumi to be careful and not stand there. Unsure of what was so dangerous, Ayumi notices a hole and loses her balance, almost falling in. When Ayumi asks why there was a hole on stage, Tamanosuke apologizes for not warning them and tells her that it leads the stage basement. Both Tamanosuke and Ayumi apologize just as Muraki, dressed for his role as Edo Boy, comes up from the stage basement on a motorized platform, causing the Detective Boys to fall back from shock, only to later comment on how cool the thief costume looked. Once the platform reached stage level, Muraki pressed stop on his stop watch, reading aloud that the mechanism took 1 minute and 40 seconds, far too slow for the performance. Megumi then explains to Conan that the platform can rise faster if they chose, leading for a grand appearance or disappearance by the thief during the show with the help of other stage effects. Megumi then asks Conan if he’ll help her out of the costume later, stating she can’t change quickly by herself. Tamanosuke disapproves at his sisters request, and then asks Megumi to bring the children to their seats in the audience. Megumi tells Conan to watch her during the show before rushing back on stage. Meanwhile, Conan wonders what Chikaishi changed the ending of the play to.<br /> <br /> Conan then narrates the play in brief, first informing the viewers that Tamanosuke played as Officer Itarou while Megumi played as the officer’s assistant. The two had been following Edo Boy, who had gone all over Japan committing crimes, until they narrowed his location down to a drama troupe. However, Edo Boy was someone else; the person that Itarou killed was innocent. In the end, the troupe continued to travel on a new journey. Following the rehersal, Megumi yells out to Conan, asking him how it went. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko both yell out that it was great. After asking her brother if she could get her friends juice, Megumi starts to run off stage when Tamanosuke asks her to bring Chikaishi back with her. When Megumi gets to Chikaishi’s door, she knocks and calls out for him, but he doesn’t respond. Thinking that he’s asleep, Megumi opens the door and enters the room and sees him on the ground unmoving. Her screams grab the attention of Conan, the Detective Boys, and her brother, as well as the cast, who all rush to her aid. When they arrive at the room, Megumi crawls over to her brother, crying that Chikaishi is dead.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime =<br /> | image = EP126-127 Case.jpg <br /> | location = Tetsuo Chikaishi's room <br /> | victim = Tetsuo Chikaishi <br /> | age = 35 years old <br /> | cause-death = Blunt trauma to the back of the head <br /> | suspects = [[Tamanosuke Ito]], Ryuichi Muraki, Yuri Shirai, Itoe Ogiwara, and Kenzo Tajima <br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Conan observes the body and notices that the victim was struck on the back of the head. A shattered vase lying next to the body leads Conan to wonder if it is the murderer’s weapon. After sending someone to call the police, Tamanosuke begins to shake, a reaction that Conan notices and considers strange. The ringleader pulls himself together and rushes to the laptop where he notices that the disk is missing. As Tamanosuke frantically searches, Conan and the cast all look on shock. When Megumi asks her brother what’s wrong, he suddenly calms down and tells her that he’s fine, but when Muraki asks if something is gone after noticing how messed up the room is, Tamanosuke tells him that nothing is gone. Conan, who saw the disk earlier, wonders why the ringleader is hiding the fact that the disk was missing.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime = Robbery <br /> | image = EP126-127c Case.jpg <br /> | location = Tetsuo Chikaishi's room <br /> | victim = Tetsuo Chikaishi <br /> | age = 35 years old <br /> | suspects = Tamanosuke Ito, Ryuichi Muraki, Yuri Shirai, Itoe Ogiwara, and Kenzo Tajima <br /> | description = After the murder's been found, Tamanosuke is looking for something that's missing from Chikaishi. <br /> }}<br /> <br /> Later, the police arrive at the theatre. Ran and Kogoro quickly run past the check-point holding off the crowd and enter the building. Meanwhile, [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] begins to question the troupe. When asked for confirmation from the ringleader that the victim in question was the troupe’s writer, Tetsuo Chikaishi, age 35, Tamanosuke nods in assurance, just as Ran and Kogoro arrive at the stage. Ran runs over to Conan and scolds him for leaving without telling her anything, to which the young detective apologizes. Kogoro then runs over to Inspector Megure and is asked what exactly happened. The famous detective explains that the victim was estimated to have died an hour prior and was most likely murdered by somebody within the troupe. Giving a sigh of agreement, the inspector then asks Tamanosuke where exactly everyone had been within the past hour. While the ringleader hesitates to respond, Megumi runs to his defense, clinging onto his arm as she tells the police that everyone had been on stage rehearsing the performance. Thinking to himself, Conan agrees with Megumi, adding that because he was sitting in the audience, he could see each and every movement on the stage. Continuing on, Conan notes that as it was only a practice run, all members of the troupe would remain backstage if they were not in a particular scene, meaning that the only time people were out of sight was when they were changing.<br /> <br /> Megure’s continued investigation leads him to question Muraki, who had been alone in the basement during the play just before his grand entrance on stage as Edo Boy. Muraki confirms this, but also adds that another member of the troupe was watching the entire show backstage, providing him with an alibi. Conan speculates to himself that whoever the killer was, they stole the disk and managed to hide it before returning to the stage. Realizing that nobody had mentioned the disk yet to Megure, Conan blurts out that the inspector needed to find it and then tests the reaction of Tamanosuke by asking the ringleader to confirm this, which results in another shaking fit. As Conan continues to think about the case more, he begins to wonder if someone else hid the disk in place of the killer. Either way, the young detective is positive that the culprit is one of the troupe members.<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> The Detective Boys and Megumi are watching a news report from the troupe’s hotel room on Chikaishi’s death, with the reporter stationed right outside the building. When the reporter mentions the ringleader, Tamanosuke, was currently being questioned at the station, Megumi turns off the television out of frustration. Coincidently, Yuri excitedly opens the door to the room with the children to give Megumi good news: Tamanosuke had returned. As Megumi runs out to greet her brother, Tamanosuke walks down the hallway with support from Tajima, least he fall to the ground again.<br /> <br /> That night, Tamanosuke sneaks out of the inn alone, only to be followed by his worried little sister. As she continues to follow him, Megumi sees her brother enter the theatre building, where just hours earlier the murder had taken place. As she wonders out loud why Tamanosuke would be going to the theatre at such a late hour, Conan asks her the very same question. Startling Megumi, she begins to speak louder, prompting Conan to tell her to be quiet. After a brief conversation, the chairman’s sister asks Conan why he’s at the theatre himself. Claiming that he’s worried about her brother as well, Conan asks her if she can just leave the cases to himself. Megumi, visibly upset by the mere suggestion of going home, accuses Conan of trying to ditch her, which Conan tries to laugh off. In a final ditch effort, he tells her that children shouldn’t be outside so late at night, causing Megumi to point out that he’s not much older than she is.<br /> <br /> Just as Conan and Megumi enter the theatre building through the same door Tamanosuke had previously gone through, somebody knocks someone out with a crowbar out of sight of the two kids. At the sound of the body and crowbar falling to the ground, Conan and Megumi rush onto the stage. When the shine from Conan’s flashlight illuminates the body lying on the ground, the two children stop out of shock. The body lying on the ground, with blood dripping from the top of his head, is none other than Tamanosuke.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime = Attempted Murder <br /> | image = EP126-127d Case.jpg <br /> | location = Stage <br /> | victim = [[Tamanosuke Ito]] <br /> | cause-death = Blunt force trauma <br /> | cause-death-label = Injury <br /> | age = 17 years old <br /> | suspects = Ryuichi Muraki, Yuri Shirai, and Kenzo Tajima <br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> As Megumi rushes to her brother’s side, Conan assumes that the criminal can’t have gotten far. Conan, rushing across the stage to find the culprit, tells Megumi to go and call an ambulance, just as he suddenly loses his balance in front of the stage hole. Falling, Conan grasps to the side of the hole, with part of his body dangling down into the dark crevice. Managing to pull himself back up, Megumi rushes over to aid him, but is reassured by Conan stating that he’s alright. However, just then, he looks down the hole and notices a body lying at the bottom of the stage basement. Conan calls out to the body of Itoe Ogiwara, but to no avail; with a puddle of blood already surrounding her head, it’s too late.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime =<br /> | image = EP126-127e Case.jpg <br /> | location = Stage <br /> | victim = Itoe Ogiwara <br /> | age = 28 years old <br /> | cause-death = Fell to the bottom of the stage basement <br /> | suspects = Ryuichi Muraki, Yuri Shirai, and Kenzo Tajima <br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> After calling the police and an ambulance, Tamanosuke is put onto a stretcher and carried into the ambulance. Conan narrates that the ringleader and been attacked in the back of the head and fallen unconscious. As Megumi enters the ambulance to be by her brother’s side and the vehicle drives off to the hospital, Conan continues on to state that Itoe had fallen to her death. Walking past, Detective Takagi and Inspecter Megure, both looking on as a member of the CSI photographs the crime scene, Conan notices a note on the ground. Curious, the young detective takes a look, reading, “Itoe, I know your true face! Meet me on the stage at midnight.” As Conan ponders the meaning of the letter, Takagi alerts Megure to another note, this time being clutched by the deceased Itoe. Realizing that the two notes are identical, Conan shows Megure the letter he found. As the police inspecter wonders aloud what the two notes mean, Kogoro enters the crime scene and is shocked to see Conan. While Megure explains to Kogoro that Conan had been the first to witness the body, the young detective suddenly notices small splints of wood surrounding the victim’s body. Attempting to investigate further, Conan is grabbed by Kogoro who scolds him for being up so late at night.<br /> <br /> The next morning, at the Mouri Detective Agency, Sonoko demands an explanation from Kogoro after he claims that Tamanosuke is the prime suspect. With her bouquet of flowers in hand, Sonoko chides the great detective for suspecting somebody that is in the hospital with serious injuries. Kogoro admits that he doesn’t understand either, but goes on to state that Tamanosuke’s fingerprints were found on the weapon, which leads Conan to ask if any other fingerprints were found. The great detective answers that while other troupe member’s prints were found, none of the other fingerprints matched the deceased Itoe Itoe Ogiwara’s. After laying out the previous evidence, Kogoro theorizes that Itoe had gone to attack Tamanosuke, who in self-defense knocked the careless troupe treasurer into the basement. Sonoko quickly jumps to the defense of the ringleader, stating that he would never want to kill someone. As she and Ran begin to leave for the hospital to deliver the flowers, Kogoro claims that Tamanosuke is currently rejecting all visitors, as he is an important suspect. Despite his warning, Ran and Sonoko decide to at least deliver the flowers to Megumi, who should be at her brother’s side. Kogoro tells them to be quick because Tamanosuke is currently still in a coma.<br /> <br /> Deep in thought, Conan suddenly asks Kogoro why Tamanosuke was considered an important suspect if he himself was knocked out in the back of the head. To explain Conan’s question, Kogoro states that doctors did not find many external injuries and currently believe that the coma could have been induced by mental fatigue. Conan finally understands the logic, thinking to himself that Tamanosuke could have been overwhelmed by how he would escape after doing something wrong. Kogoro then brings up the topic of the two notes found at the crime scene, announcing to the Detective Boys that both notes were confirmed to be written by Tamanosuke. Going even further, he explains that every single member of the troupe and been given a piece of paper by the ringleader with the same exact message. Conan questions why Tamanosuke was looking into Itoe’s past, to which Kogoro has no answer. He does, however, note that Itoe had embezzled large sums of money from the troupe’s treasury. As Conan questions whether Tamanosuke would have really needed to kill her for that, Kogoro tells the child to bring him a beer. With the mood now ruined, Conan reminds him that it isn’t dark yet, which Kogoro simply laughs off. After bringing him the beer and a snack, Conan asks whether or not Chikaishi’s disk had been found. Annoyed by the question when trying to enjoy his beer, Kogoro tells Conan that the disk had been found in the trashcan of Tamanosuke’s room with all of the data having been erased. Finally fed up with all the questions, Kogoro tells the children to head outside and play, but later regrets it when he wants another beer and no one is around to get it.<br /> <br /> At the theatre stage, the Detective Boys begin to investigate the source of the wood splints surrounding Itoe when her body was discovered. With no luck around the stage hole, Conan rushes to where the wood is stored. Mitsuhiko hypothesizes Itoe was killed elsewhere and then dumped into the basement afterwards. As Mitsuhiko explains his theory aloud, Conan discovers a wood matching the exact color of the splints in the basement. While Conan notices that the wood was a three-prong split, Genta begins to pull it out from where it had been hidden. After the wood is pulled out completely, Conan notices not only that it was broken in two rather forcibly, but that several blood stains are located near the breaking point. After putting the two halves together, Conan notices that the wood is larger than the stage hole. Genta claims that the wood was used for a trap, to which Conan agrees. The young detective explains that the three-prong board is 0.3 cm thick and was split a few times in between in order to quickly put the two halves together again, allowing a person to unknowingly walk on top of the board without the aid of lights to see and fall to their death. Mitsuhiko then adds that the killer quickly hid the two pieces of wood out of sight. When Ayumi concludes that Tamanosuke then knocked himself out, Conan disagrees with her, stating that he and Megumi had been following the young ringleader as soon as he left the inn, meaning that he wouldn’t have had time to set up the trap. Conan thinks to himself momentarily, only to quickly realize something urgent and start running off stage, telling the Detective Boys that they have to hurry. When Genta asks why, Conan explains that Tamanosuke is in danger because the killer is someone else.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, in a police cruiser, Megure is in the middle of a phone conversation with Kogoro, the former claiming to understand what had been previously mentioned (unknown to the viewer). As Takagi continues to drive the vehicle, Megure finishes the phone call by stating that he will arrange what Kogoro had requested. Unbeknownst to Megure, the person on the other end of the phone was Conan using his voice-changing tie. When the call ends, Conan begins to run down a street when his Detective Boys badge starts to ring. Answering the call, Conan hears Ayumi’s voice. She, along with Genta and Mitsuhiko, is stationed in the hallway just outside of the troupe member’s bedrooms. Ayumi reports that all members had been accounted for. Going into detail, she first states that Mr. Tajima, with the room closest to the stairs, is watching television and resting. Continuing on, Ayumi reports that Yuri is in the next room, doing her laundry. Lastly, Muraki, currently staying in the deceased Chikaishi’s room, is cleaning the room. With her report finished, Conan tells Ayumi that the three of them can go home and ends the call. The Detective Boys, however, have no intention of going home.<br /> <br /> As Conan reaches Beika Central Hospital, where Tamanosuke is being treated, someone begins to walk down the hallway in the direction of the ringleader’s room. The police officer on guard duty looks up from his paper and, believing him to be a doctor, allows the person in the room. After shutting the door, the fake doctor slowly walks to Tamanosuke’s beside, with both arms out and ready to strangle the currently comatose ringleader.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime <br /> | crime = Attempted Murder <br /> | image = EP126-127f Case.jpg <br /> | location = Beika Central Hospital <br /> | victim = [[Tamanosuke Ito]] <br /> | cause-death = Strangulation <br /> | cause-death-label = Attack Types <br /> | age = 17 years old <br /> | suspects = Ryuichi Muraki, Yuri Shirai, and Kenzo Tajima <br /> | description = The fake doctor tried to kill Tamanosuke, but had to flee, since police arrived.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Just as he reaches the bed, however, a loud voice tells the fake doctor to stop. Suddenly, the police, including a fake Tamaonsuke used as a decoy, several officers hidden inside the room, and Megure suddenly entering from the hallway, attempt to surround the culprit. Before the police can apprehend the culprit, however, the fake doctor breaks though the glass window and jumps. Megure, thinking the culprit had committed suicide, is shocked to see him throw a rope around a pipe from the building while in midair and successfully use it to jump down the wall. Conan, hiding in the bushes, completely shocked by the development, kicks his soccer balls at the culprit just as he lands on the ground. Instead of dodging or getting hit by the ball, the culprit jumps over it and escapes into town. While attempting to chase the fake doctor, Conan discovers after watching the culprit’s moves that he is Edo Boy, meaning that the thief really was someone in the troupe after all. Connecting the dots, Conan realizes that Tamanosuke had chosen the play in order to flush the thief out. In addition, Chikaishi had known the thief was in the troupe long before the ringleader had, meaning that the scriptwriter must have been blackmailing whichever troupe member was Edo Boy. Due to the blackmailing and evidence Chikaishi had built up, the thief killed him and deleted the data on the disk. After the murder, Tamanosuke felt like he was to blame, so the ringleader sent out the letters to everyone in the troupe.<br /> <br /> After the attempt to capture the culprit at the hospital failed, Megure, Takagi, and Kogoro went back to the inn the next morning to meet with the troupe members. Knocking on the door closest to the stairs first, Megure asked Tajima if he had gone anywhere during the night. A shocked Tajima shakes his head, telling the inspector that he hadn’t left. The Detective Boys, still in stakeout mode, confirm that Tajima had not left his room. The three children explain that they had been there all night long. An upset Kogoro deduces that Conan must have done the same, to which the young detective denies as he enters the building and walks up the stairs. Conan thinks to himself that the three of them inadvertently provided everyone in the troupe with an alibi. After realizing who Edo Boy is, Conan wonders what to do without any solid evidence. All the while, Megure attempts to interrogate the troupe members in an adjacent room but can’t concentrate with all the noise from Kogoro. As Conan thinks to himself that Kogoro doesn’t have the time to drink at the moment, he reacts to his own mention of the word time. Thinking back to when Chikaishi was killed, Conan realizes that only two people would have had the time to murder the scriptwriter. Putting into consideration that the culprit had enough strength to knock out Tamanosuke, Conan finally solves the case.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|[[Tamanosuke Ito]]|Tamanosuke Ito.jpg|<br /> * Victim (beaten - injured)<br /> * 17 years old<br /> * Drama troupe chairman}}<br /> {{People|Ryuichi Muraki|Ryuichi Muraki.jpg|<br /> * 26 years old<br /> * Actor}}<br /> {{People|Yuri Shirai|Yuri Shiroi.jpg|<br /> * 22 years old<br /> * Actress}}<br /> {{People|[[Megumi Ito]]|Megumi Ito.jpg|<br /> * 7 years old<br /> * Tamanosuke's little sister}}<br /> {{People|Itoe Ogiwara|Itoe Ogara.jpg|<br /> * Victim (fell)<br /> * 28 years old<br /> * Drama troupe's actress and treasurer}}<br /> {{People|Tetsuo Chikaishi|Tetsuo Chikaishi.jpg|<br /> * Victim (beaten)<br /> * 35 years old<br /> * Drama troupe's scriptwriter}}<br /> {{People|Kenzo Tajima|Kenzo Tajima.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Actor<br /> * Ryuichi and Yuri's mentor}}<br /> {{People|Man A|EP127 Male Innkeeper.jpg|<br /> * Inn owner<br /> * Mr. Ito's old friend}}<br /> {{People|Woman A|EP127 Female Innkeeper.jpg|<br /> * Man A's wife<br /> * Mr. Ito's old friend}}<br /> {{People|Edo Boy|Edo Boy.jpg|<br /> * Thief}}<br /> {{people|Man B|EP126 Man.jpg|<br /> * Beika Theater staff}}<br /> {{people|Woman B|EP 126 Reporter.jpg|<br /> * Reporter}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;While Kogoro continues to drink, Conan knocks him out with his tranquilizing dart. As the great detective falls into place, Conan runs to the backside of the folding screen located behind Kogoro. Using his voice changing bowtie, Conan calls everyone over, claiming to know the killer’s identity when asked by Megure. Conan continues on to state that the person who murdered Chikaishi and Itoe, as well as attacked Tamanosuke twice, is one of the three people present: Muraki, Yuri, and Tajima. While Muraki and Yuri are shocked, Tajima begins to get up out of anger at such an accusation towards the three of them. Megure attempts to calm him down, stating that they should just listen to Mouri for the time being because he helped save Tamanosuke’s life during the attack at the hospital. Conan explains that according to hospital records, the physique of the culprit from the hospital event matched records of Edo Boy, the same topic that created all of the original problems to begin with. Further explaining his deduction, Conan states that Edo Boy committed crimes all across Japan, later stating that the three suspects should all recall missing things belonging to them in the past half year. Muraki claims that he and Yuri and previously reported such occurrences to the police, stating that the two of them have an alibi and are innocent. Conan explains that only two people in the troupe can do acrobats, confirmed by Yuri who states that she and Muraki both learned from Tajima, who suffered from a waist injury three years prior and could no longer perform. Conan states that Tamanosuke wanted to push the story of Edo Boy for their performance, but that problems arose when Chikaishi wrote differently from what the ringleader asked for. As for why Chikaishi changed the script, Conan explains that the writer had discovered the true face of Edo Boy during his investigation on the topic. Blackmailing Edo Boy, Chikaishi promised to change the script in exchange for cash. At this point, Conan reveals Edo Boy to be '''Kenzo Tajima'''.<br /> <br /> When Megure asks if the waist injury story was a lie, Conan claims to remember hearing that Tajima had indeed gained an injury three years prior. However, at some point during the past year, the pain had gone away, allowing Tajima to once again do acrobatics. Infuriated by the claims, Tajima attempts to storm out of the room but is stopped by Takagi and another police officer. Muraki, in disbelief by the claims, asks his mentor if he really is the killer. Despite his quick denial, Kogoro states that all of the facts point to Tajima. Claiming that the only people with time to see Chikaishi on the day of his murder were Muraki, Yuri, and Tajima, Conan recalls that due to a lack of troupe members, the three of them all had to play two roles. As Muraki needed to be in the basement prior to his timed entrance, he had to change costumes while running down the steps. Due to the time constraint and depth of the basement, there was no way Muraki could be the killer. This left Yuri and Tajima, the last two troupe members to change, as the only possible suspects.<br /> <br /> Even with his innocence proven, Muraki interrupts, stating that while Chikaishi may have been murdered, the death of Itoe was an accident. The paper found at the second crime scene telling Itoe to meet at the stage during the night was given to all cast members. Conan explains that in the message, the &quot;Itoe&quot; was not meant to call out Itoe Itoe Ogiwara specifically, but rather, it stood for &quot;I to e&quot;. Even though Tamanosuke knew that Edo Boy had killed Chikaishi, the troupe leader did not know the true identity of the thief. The reason Tamanosuke gave the notice out to all troupe members was to get the attention of Edo Boy and meet with him personally. However, Itoe mistook the meeting as a confrontation for her suspected money laundering. When she got to the stage that night, she fell victim to a trap set by Edo Boy for Tamanosuke to fall into. When Tamanosuke later visited the stage that night, he was knocked out immediately, meaning that the troupe leader could not have possibly set the trap up as was originally suspected. At this point, Tajima begins to point out that just because he had time to kill Chikaishi doesn't give any proof that he killed Itoe. Pointing out Yuri, Tajima reminds everyone that she could be the killer. When Conan points out that the suspect fleeing from the hospital was identical in size to Tajima, the latter laughs off the claim, stating that such a thing means nothing.<br /> <br /> Finally, Conan tells Megure to once again inspect Chikaishi's laptop for fingerprints. When Megure asks why they need to search a third time, Conan reveals that the killer used the laptop again to make sure that the disk had removed all incriminating evidence on him. Assuming that the police would not search for fingerprints again, the suspect, in a rush, used the device without gloves. Just as Megure orders Takagi to have the laptop searched again, Tajima admits his guilt. When the blackmailing Chikaishi had been killed, Tajima explained that he finally felt safe. However, when Tamanosuke sent out the letter to everyone, fear and rage once again consumed him. Without thinking of the consequences, Tajima set up a trap at the meeting spot by putting the wooden boards over the stage hole. When Itoe fell through the trap, Tajima attempted to hide the evidence but was spotted by Tamanosuke.<br /> <br /> As Tajima finished explaining what happened, the door opens to Tamanosuke in a wheelchair along with his sister Megumi. Tamanosuke attempts to apologize, claiming that everything was his fault for insisting on the Edo Boy play. The troupe leader explains that he didn't mean to chase away Tajima with the play; all Tamanosuke wanted was for Tajima to stop his crimes and turn himself in. Teary-eyed and full of remorse, Tajima falls to his knees and begs for forgiveness.<br /> <br /> Conan later explains that following the case, the stage was repaired and the play went through some major changes. Despite his injuries, Tamanosuke insisted on performing. As thanks for solving the case, the troupe leader invited Conan, the Detective Boys, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro, Megure, and Takagi to appear with him for the play.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The Kaito Edo Boy's purpoited leaping ability is similar to the abilities attributed to [[Wikipedia: Spring-heeled Jack|Spring-Heeled Jack]], an urban legend character from Victorian Era London who was said to be a vicious pervert.

However, after a body search, the weapon is not found.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> With Agasa's help, and right before making the big revelation, Conan is able to get very important information about a certain &quot;Minako&quot; person.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Suicide?

Minako had found out that Sugiyama and another teacher (Shimoda, but she didn't tell his name to Yonehara) were involved in foul play concerning the school's entrance exams, and added that she was planning to confront the unnamed teacher. The poor girl was found hanged in the school gym a few days later, and while everyone thought Minako had committed suicide under the effect of stress over the upcoming exams, Yonehara deduced that she had been killed by Sugiyama and his accomplice.<br /> <br /> Knowing the identity of only one of Minako's two murderers, Yonehara organized the trip to gather the teachers that she knew Minako looked up to. She first killed Sugiyama and left his body hidden outside the lodge to freeze ''and'' trick people in regards to the time of his death. Later, she attacked Sonoko to have an alibi, then immediately afterwards pretended to be a victim as well (using Sugiyama's body to such effects, that's the &quot;Yonehara&quot; Sonoko ''actually'' saw before being attacked), and used her lipstick to spell out Minako's name in all of these cases. Shimoda's panicked reaction upon realizing the last detail revealed his involvement to her, so she tricked him into meeting up with her and killed him as well.<br /> <br /> The murder weapon was Yonehara's wig: she had cut her hair too short for her liking a while ago and hid it via a very long wig, and then decided to use it to strangle her victims by braiding it, excluding Sonoko as seen in the picture, without leaving clues. Ran says that there were small bloody scratches on the dead Shimoda's neck, and that there are some droplets of his blood in the wig.<br /> <br /> Seeing that she’s been uncovered, Yonehara takes off the wig. She admits her responsibility for the crimes and says she couldn't forgive those teachers who betrayed their students and even killed one of them, but then she adds she's not one to talk because she harmed Sonoko to make her trick work.<br /> <br /> Ran, whose emotional state had slowly taken a nosedive as Conan relayed the deductions to her, gets ready to leave the room, barely reacting to Mouri telling her that he'll write a great article on &quot;her&quot; deductions. She sees Conan standing outside the hall, ready to &quot;tell&quot; her that Shinichi is gone; before he can do so, she falls to her knees and hugs him tearfully. Two hours later the snowstorm stops, and the police arrives.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Manga to anime changes ==<br /> {{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br /> * The reason why Conan refrains from knocking out Ran is due to her nearly finding out his identity in [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]]. The anime omits this reason as it places the two stories in a different order.<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are: <br /> :* Akiko Yonehara - Anne Preston<br /> :* Kohei Shimoda - Paul Keen<br /> :* Ryuichi Sakai - Brett Shore<br /> :* Minori Nakamura - Shelly Tilton<br /> :* Sugiyama - Larry Sullivan<br /> :* Atsushi Mori - Drake Ziegman<br /> :* Minako Mochizuki - Moreen Manahan<br /> * The characters that the culprit wrote on the victim’s hands were changed to be Mass-Acre-Night, spelling out massacre night which in turn was the reason Paul Keen (Kohei Shimoda) had been intimidated.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The Nagano Prefecture snow mountains reappear in Ara lodge from [[Magic Lover's Murder Case#Trivia|Magic Lover's Murder Case]].

He shows up all of a sudden in the Mouri Agency (since he suspects Shinichi has a hand on Kogoro's recent success and Sonoko told him where it was located), bringing a nice Osakan liquor as a gift to Kogoro (so he'll let him stay overnight), and delivers the challenge, which will take place regarding the request coming from a rich woman: to make a background check on her future daughter-in-law, a young woman who's simply too good to be true so she could actually be a wolf in sheep's clothing or a gold digger in disguise.<br /> <br /> However, before Conan can save his reputation, he must first save himself, as a mysterious sickness threatens to close his file for good, and then check on his surroundings, as the husband of their client appears dead right after the group arrives to his big and fancy house.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = EP48-49 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Tsujimura household<br /> | victim = Isao Tsujimura<br /> | age = 54 years old<br /> | cause-death = Imbibed needle poison<br /> | suspects = Kimie Tsujimura, Fumio Koike, [[Yukiko Katsuragi]], [[Takayoshi Tsujimura]], and Toshimitsu Tsujimura<br /> | description = Kimie Tsujimura goes to the Mouri Agency to ask them to look for info about her stepson's girlfriend, Yukiko. She then takes Conan, Ran, Kogoro, and Heiji to the Tsujimura household, where the family is about to gather. However, when she goes speak to the apparently asleep patriarch of the family, he suddenly drops dead.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> Heiji Hattori believes that the murder of the diplomat Isao Tsujimura is a locked room one, and he's also sure of who the killer is. But almost at the same time, Conan collapses due to his illness, and then Shinichi Kudo returns to the surprise of everyone, especially himself. As Shinichi tries to expose the real secret behind the perfectly sealed room, the rivalry between he and Heiji Hattori heats up. Deceit and treachery are revealed, as Isao Tsujimura's killer is finally unmasked and their reasons to commit the crime are explained.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Kimie Tsujimura|Kimie Tsujimura.jpg|<br /> * 50 years old<br /> * Isao's wife}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Koike|Fumio Koike.jpg|<br /> * 48 years old<br /> * Tsujimura family butler}}<br /> {{People|[[Yukiko Katsuragi]]|Yukiko Katsuragi.jpg|<br /> * 24 years old<br /> * Takayoshi's girlfriend<br /> * Tohto Medical School student}}<br /> {{People|[[Takayoshi Tsujimura]]|Takayoshi Tsujimura.jpg|<br /> * 27 years old<br /> * Isao's only son<br /> * Legal apprentice}}<br /> {{People|Toshimitsu Tsujimura|Toshimitsu Tsujimura.jpg|fsize=0.79em|squeezed=1|<br /> * 78 years old<br /> * Isao's father<br /> * Retired college professor}}<br /> {{People|Isao Tsujimura|Isao Tsujimura.jpg|<br /> * Victim (poison)<br /> * 54 years old<br /> * Diplomat}}<br /> {{People|Ms. Tsujimura|No pic female.jpg|<br /> * Isao's ex-wife<br /> * Takayoshi's mother}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The killer is '''Kimie Tsujimura'''. She murdered her husband by first drugging him with sleeping pills before going to the Mouri agency, then pretending to try waking him up, but actually poisoning him with a poison-imbibed needle that she hid inside a locket attached to her keychain. Which was exactly the same type of locket/keychain that Tsujimura himself had. She also tried to stage a fake locked room murder with Tsujimua's locket keychain and fishing lines specifically placed all around the home to make him look guilty no matter which room he visited after the murder and to make everyone believe that Tsujimura had died and had been locked inside the study with the sealed room trick; in reality, he was alive but asleep due to the drugs, so Kimie secretly prickled him to his death in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Kimie's reasons to murder her husband were the following: twenty years before she was was happily married to a man named Kenji Yamashiro and they had a little daughter, Yukiko. Tsujimura, who was in love with Kimie and jealous of Yamashiro, staged a cruel trap to accuse him of being involved in a fraud. Yamashiro was sent to jail and died there soon after, then Tsujimura courted the extremely distraught Kimie, and as soon as she was widowed he divorced his wife/Takayoshi's mother and convinced Kimie to marry him. Kimie was unaware of this and accepted, since she was completely devastated and had to give up her child's custody to Yamashiro's family.<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Kenji Yamashiro|Kenji Yamashiro.jpg|<br /> * Deceased (15 years ago)<br /> * Kimie's first husband and Yukiko's father<br /> * Wrongly convicted<br /> * Diplomat}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> Twenty years after the &quot;fraud&quot;, the adult Takayoshi brought a picture of a girl he had fallen for and intended to marry: she happened to be Yukiko, Kimie and Yamashiro's daughter, who had grown to look almost exactly like a younger Kimie save for her hair/color scheme. (As seen in an old picture of the just-married Kimie and Tsujimura, which the latter kept in his studio). Tsujimura realised who the girl was, was completely horrified and started screaming at his son for wanting to marry &quot;that man's child&quot;. Kimie also recognized Yukiko in the picture and started to get suspicious, then Tsujimura revealed the truth to her. So she decided to kill her &quot;husband&quot; to get at him, using her visit to Kogoro to ask about Yukiko's background as an excuse that would provide her for an alibi.<br /> <br /> (As a corollary, Toshimitsu Tsujimura had helped his son Isao in his plan to &quot;steal&quot; Kimie from Yamashiro and send him to jail. He had repented long ago, though, and he wanted to take the blame for his son's murder as a way to atone for his terrible sin. Therefore, when Heiji said that he was the culprit, he willingly confessed for a crime that he hadn't committed, trying to wash away the sin of ruining the Yamashiro family's lives.)<br /> <br /> Kimie confesses that she is the killer, reveals the above mentioned motive and surrenders to the police without any resistence. Before being taken away, she begs Takayoshi to take good care of her daughter Yukiko, and Takayoshi promises to do so as Yukiko cries after learning the truth.<br /> <br /> Heiji aknowledges his loss and tells this to Shinichi, aknowledging him officially as the winner of this case. Shinichi, however, calls him a fool and says that it's useless to compete, since there is and always be only one truth. After saying this, he almost collapses atop of the stairs; since he had recovered his original physical age solely as an effect of the homemade liquor (doubling as a folk cure for colds) that Heiji made him drink earlier ''and'' the cold he had, it was only temporary and it was wearing off.<br /> <br /> Ran, who knew nothing about this, catches him trying to sneak away and tries to make him stay so he will go to a doctor. He tells her to wait and gets away by practically throwing himself down the stairs as his body begins to actually reverse to a child's one, nevermind his mental pleas to resist a little so he can stay with Ran a little longer. Then, Shinichi almost screams Ran's name before fully shrinking back.<br /> <br /> When Ran finally catches up, she finds Conan alone in an oversized shirt. He tells her that Shinichi has just left and then passes out of pain and light-headness, which keeps Ran from making him answer any more questions.<br /> <br /> Heiji returns to Osaka and, once Conan gets mildly better, he wonders why did his body return to normal even if for some minutes. He realises it was an after-effect of the liquor, but Ran catches him trying to snatch the bottle from the drunk Kogoro and takes it away. Conan is upset but then the Detective Kids drop by to visit, which cheers him up a little.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * In the English Dub, after the accusation of spying on Ran, Shinichi states that he's a detective and that's what he does, whereas in the Japanese version he states that he can tell how Ran is doing by hearing her voice.<br /> * In the English Dub, Heiji drops subtle hints that the two men who poisoned him were [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]], whereas in the Japanese version he merely acknowledges Shinichi as a worthy rival. The dub change presumably was made to fix a story problem for the upcoming ''[[Game Company Murder Case]]'' (see that page's continuity error).<br /> * In the English Dub, Heiji also, in the same lines about Gin and Vodka, alludes to the fact that he already knows that Shinichi is Conan, despite the fact that he doesn't deduce this until his next appearance in ''[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]''.<br /> * The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:<br /> :* Heiji Hattori - Harley Hartwell<br /> :* Heizo Hattori - Martin Hartwell<br /> :* Kimie Tsujimura - Camiel Tarrington<br /> :* Fumio Koike - Franklin Keene<br /> :* Toshimitsu Tsujimura - Theodore Tarrington<br /> :* Isao Tsujimura - Rudy Tarrington<br /> :* Takayoshi Tsujimura - Thomas Tarrington<br /> :* Yukiko Katsuragi - Jasmine Kassleschultz<br /> :* Kenji Yamashiro - Mori Yasmeen<br /> * This was the final episode aired by Adult Swim.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * In the Netflix English Dub, Pam Dougherty who voiced Camiel Tarrington/Kimie Tsujimura in the Funimation English Dub reprised her role and was the only minor character to do so in this episode.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br />

She seems to be very clumsy, leaving a funny first impression as she knocked her head on the desk while bowing to say &quot;Nice to meet you&quot;. She asks the Detective Boys to go with her to the shed to bring quick lime, admitting that she is scared of going there alone. A 10-year-old bare-bone corpse is discovered there by Wakasa and the Detective Boys.<br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder? <br /> | image = EP889-890 Case.png<br /> | location = Storage shed basement<br /> | victim = Robber<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = <br /> | description = A skeleton was found in the storage shed of Teitan Elementary School. Wakasa Rumi wants a lime that is found there. Upon arriving, the Detective Boys searched the storage shed, and Conan found a trapdoor that leads to a basement. It turns out there was a skeleton leaning on the ground with string with characters in hand.<br /> }} <br /> The police are summoned. It seems to be related to a case of robbery. The principal of Teitan Elementary says that ten years ago, the police had come to their school to investigate a robbery nearby.<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{beginBox}}<br /> {{people|Man #1|EP889-890 Man.jpg|<br /> * Mysterious man from ten years ago}}<br /> {{people|Man #2|EP889-890 Man 1.jpg|<br /> * Robber}}<br /> {{people|Man #3|EP889-890 Man 2.jpg|<br /> * Robber}}<br /> {{people|Man #4|EP889-890 Man 3.jpg|<br /> * Robber}}<br /> {{people|Teacher|Teacher.png|<br /> * Teitan Elementary teacher}}<br /> {{people|Teacher 2|Teacher2.png|<br /> * Teitan Elementary teacher}} <br /> {{People|Kazuma|No face.jpg|<br /> * 7 years old<br /> * Birthday: 22nd May<br /> * Teitan Elementary class 1-B student}}<br /> {{endBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;It turns out that the dead man in the shed was actually the leader of the robber group, and it was an '''accidental death'''. Conan imitates the leader to summon the whole group to come to the shed at a particular time. While he catches them red-handed along with Wakasa, the Detective Boys and Inspector Shiratori, a third robber turns up and spoils their plan by attacking Shiratori and taking control of the situation. The Detective Boys are forced by the robbers to go to the basement. When Wakasa's turn comes, she knocks the robber who tried to force her into the basement with her elbow and disguises it as her clumsiness, also subsequently closing the door (lid) of the basement. While the Detective Boys worry about their teacher, Wakasa shows her dark side, knocking-out each of the robbers with the precision of a skilled fighter with a broom. When the Detective Boys come out, Rumi disguises her ability by saying that she was just insanely spinning the broom in her hand, admitting that she must have been very lucky too.<br /> <br /> Postlude: Kobayashi gets mad at Wakasa for taking Detective Boys alone near criminals. However, it turns out that she is actually jealous that she didn't get to be with Inspector Shiratori and the Detective Boys, being the former's lover and a self-proclaimed manager of the latter. The teacher body watches in awe as this jealous exchange takes place.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Manga to anime changes ==<br /> {{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br /> * The anime begins with shots of children going to school, whereas the manga begins immediately in Teitan.<br /> * Lines were added in the anime version when Conan and Haibara enter their classroom.

In the anime version, Conan only thinks this line.<br /> * In the anime, Kobayashi writes Rumi Wakasa's name on the board.<br /> * In the anime, before Conan opens the trapdoor to warehouse's basement, Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Haibara try to scare Rumi by telling her there might be a skeleton inside.

What makes the guest so peculiar is that he has his eyes constantly fixed on [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] while he is working.

Chika wanted to make it looked like Yuuichi and Kouko planned to kill her by injecting poison into two of her chocolate bars and then hid the syringe inside Yuuichi's room.<br /> <br /> Yuuichi's death was because he took the poisoned sleeping pills that '''Kouko Shimura''' intended for Chika to use, while Kouko died from the poison that '''Yuuichi Kaidou''' smeared on Chika’s glass. Chika had taken the glass to the kitchen to use it to drink some water or tea, because earlier her vase that was filled with water was knocked over. But she changed her mind at the last second leaving behind the poisoned glass, that same glass was found and eventually used to drink some water which ended in another death.<br /> <br /> While Yuuichi was setting up the poison, along with being shaken from committing a murder, Toda's call surprised him and he ended up bumping into the box of chocolate bars, causing them to fall on floor. He then hastily picked them up changing the positions of the two poisoned chocolate bars. Unaware of this, Chika threw away two chocolate bars thinking they were the ones that she herself poisoned and '''accidentally''' picked up the poisoned bar and ate it, resulting in her death.<br /> <br /> In conclusion this was the sequence of events: first Kouko took the poisoned sleeping pills and placed them in Chika’s room, afterwards Yuuichi entered the room and rubbed poison on Chika glass cup. As he was leaving he had taken the poisoned sleeping pills that Kouko had left to calm himself down after committing the deed. He took the pills and died shortly there after, when Chika had been talking on the phone to her friend she had knocked over her vase filled with water and not wanting to drink from that she took the poisoned glass to the kitchen.<br /> <br /> However for some reason she changed her mind and decided not to drink any water and left her glass cup there, where it was found by Kouko who drank water from the same glass cup and died as well. Chika later on discovered that both her husband Yuuichi and Chika were dead, as they had inadvertently killed each other. She laughed gleefully believing she had won and had cheated death, which explains why Kogoro witnessed her laughing during the night of the &quot;murders&quot;. She then went to her room and threw away two of the chocolate bars that she believed were the ones she poisoned and starting writing on her laptop, having found some inspiration during the whole ordeal.<br /> <br /> At the same she was eating one of her chocolate bars, however what she did not know was that the positions of the chocolate bars had been switched around due to Yuuichi being a nervous wreck and had accidentally knocked over the box of chocolate bars. As a result they ended up getting mixed up including the poisoned ones, as he hastily put the chocolate bars back in the box and left. As a result the third chocolate bar the one Chika just ate was one of the two poisoned chocolate bars and as a result she died shortly after writing the beginning of her newest and last novel.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The chocolate bar Chika was eating is named Chocolate Shock and is a parody of a popular brand in Japan called [[Wikipedia: Black Thunder (chocolate bar)|Big Thunder]].<br /> * The painting in Kaidou villa is about the red leaf room from [[Solving Mysteries at the Red Leaf Palace#Trivia|Solving Mysteries at the Red Leaf Palace]]. The place with Mount Fuji reappears in a painting in Suzuki Museum from [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid]], in the rental villa from [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman#Trivia|The Tragedy of the Red Woman]], and in the hotel reception from [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case#Trivia|The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case]].

The woman was Chozo's girlfriend and a kindergarden teacher. The dying message was her fingers in the shape of a rabbit ([{{lang|ja|兎}}]usagi) shadow puppet. He killed her because she stuck him in a small dark cabin with her despite his claustrophobia. She was trying to cure him of it when Chozo had a panic attack and killed her.<br /> <br /> He then states he trapped the Detective Boys in the cabin and set it on fire. Haibara uses an antidote she prepared to become Shiho Miyano and save the others. Mitsuhiko later sends a picture of Shiho Miyano &quot;Sherry&quot; to Kogoro to find her and say thanks and also shows the picture to Masumi.

Zenzou raised it when it was small when he was Ran's age. He was able to get it big and make the flowers bloom. In the past of the greenhouse, Sonoko came with her father when she was a little baby and she barely walked. There is a flower on top of the golden barrel cactus and it looks as if it's trapped by thorns on top. The yellow ones are growing. Not just only that, Zenzou has lots of expensive cactuses in the greenhouse and he sets up the security alarm system. After night falls, only he can deactivate the system with his home security card. He always keeps the card in his breast pocket and he thinks it feels most reassuring. Suddenly, Zenzou's two sons named Naoki and Yasuyuki appear and they heard from the lawyer that Zenzou rewrite the will. They want to know why but Zenzou tells his sons to be quiet because he has guests. After that, they left. Suddenly, Zenzou notice the ceramic pots and calls his housekeeper named Yashiro to come at once. He wants her to take them away in a big fuss. Yashiro apologizes and takes the pots away. Zenzou is now going back home but Ran, Sonoko, and Conan can stick around in the greenhouse.<br /> <br /> At the Sunada household, Yasuyuki is looking for the inheritance in Zenzou's room while in the dark. Zenzou came by turning the lights on and he has the inheritance in his possession. He's not going to give it to his sons. He's going to give the inheritance and his cactuses to the botanical garden. While they were arguing, Naoki is eavesdropping from outside the room.<br /> <br /> At the greenhouse, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko are just looking at the hot water radiator/heater. When Sonoko touches it, it burns her hand.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at the Sunada household, Zenzou tells Yasuyuki that he won't change the will unless Yasuyuki changes his golfer profession into something else. After Yasuyuki leaves the room, he found Naoki. Yasuyuki knows that Naoki is after the inheritance also. While they were talking about wanting the money, Zenzou tells them to be quiet and he dislikes about Yasuyuki and Naoki talking about money. Naoki told Zenzou that he got it wrong that he is just worried about him. Zenzou calls Naoki a liar and he heard that his new company is in the major dept. Naoki whispers to Yasuyuki that's useless trying to pick a fight with their father. They planned that they will convince him later tonight.<br /> <br /> Sonoko, Ran, and Conan arrives in the Sunada household. When Conan enters, he accidentally touched the golf bag with his foot while not looking and the golf bag fells on Conan. Yasuyuki picks it up and they felt sorry about it. Ran found the golf mark on the floor so she picks it up and gives it to Yasuyuki. Yasuyuki asks Yashiro to bring his dinner to his room while carrying his golf bag and Yashiro understands.<br /> <br /> After dinner, Sonoko is so stuffed that she couldn't eat another bite. Conan is watching the soccer game on tv. Yasuyuki will be going out for practicing golf and Naoki will be checking out the abandoned car in the garage. Ran thanks Yashiro for the food and wonders that she could share the gravy sauce recipe. Sonoko smiles and wonders who is she going to make it for like Shinichi. Ran blushes and tells Sonoko that it's not like that. Sonoko tells Yashiro that she and her friends will be leaving and asks that Zenzou is still in the greenhouse. Yashiro says yes that ever since Zenzou always take of the cactuses everyday from 8 am to 9 pm. Ran will go to him by saying goodbye but Yashiro can't let her do it because Zenzou told Yashiro not to let anyone in until 8:30 so they're going to have to wait a little longer.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, the greenhouse alarm rang and they went to check it out what's going on. At the front of the greenhouse, there's Yasuyuki with the shock face. They arrived and they see that Yasuyuki has the will from Zenzou. When they enter the greenhouse, they found the dead body of Zenzou lying on the ground.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = EP680 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Greenhouse<br /> | victim = Zenzou Sunada<br /> | age = 66 years old<br /> | time = Between 8:00 to 8:30 PM<br /> | cause-death = Blunt force trauma<br /> | suspects = Yasuyuki Sunada<br /> | suspects-label = Suspect<br /> | description =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Jugo Yokomizo]] and the police have arrived at the crime scene to investigate. They confirmed that the death was most likely caused by a beating with a shovel as a murder weapon. The time of death is between 8:00 to 8:30 pm. Yokomizo tells Ran and Sonoko to tell him what the situation was when they first found the victim. They said that after dinner, during their conversation, around 8:30, the alarm went off. Then, with Yashiro, they ran to the greenhouse. In front of the greenhouse, they found Yasuyuki. When they enter the greenhouse, they found Zenzou dead. After Yokomizo finishes getting the testimony from Sonoko, Ran, and Conan, he tells the other police detective that they're going to ask everyone else who's involved.<br /> <br /> Yasuyuki says that because of the alarm went off, he frantically went inside and he saw his father lying on the ground. Yokomizo asks that why was Yasuyuki said he will go out golfing was at the greenhouse. It's because Yasuyuki was called to the greenhouse in a text message. He received the text at 8:20 pm. On Zenzou's cellphone, there's a sent text to Yasuyuki at 8:20 pm. Which means that Zenzou must've been alive until then. Yokomizo found the golf mark near to the victim and it currently belongs to Yasuyuki which makes him the main suspect. Yasuyuki claims that he didn't do it. Yokomizo deduces that after Zenzou contacted Yasuyuki, Yasuyuki pretended to go out golfing, and went to the greenhouse instead. After meeting with Zenzou, he got into an argument about the will. Then, he lost his temper, grabbed a nearby shovel, and beat him to death. In order to receive the inheritance, he stole the will and escape. At that time, he activated the security system and so the alarm went off. Yasuyuki denies it after hearing Yokomizo's deduction. All of a sudden, Conan mentions that inside Zenzou's breast pocket, there should have been a deactivation card. He wonders why didn't Yasuyuki steal it too. If he did, the alarm wouldn't have gone off. Furthermore, there's a fallen cactus near Zenzou. When Conan, Ran, and Sonoko first came to the greenhouse, it wasn't tipped over. The spilled dirt from the pot is completely dry. Also, there was a cactus thorn stuck near Zenzou's chest. Until sudden, Yokomizo tells Conan that's enough and kids shouldn't be hanging around the crime scene.<br /> <br /> Conan notice the top of the golden barrel cactus that the yellow flowers have been wilted. He found two ceramic pots on the radiator and looks up the ceiling. Conan finally figured out the real truth of this case.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Zenzou Sunada|Zenzou Sunada.jpg|<br /> * Victim (beaten)<br /> * 66 years old<br /> * Wealthy property owner<br /> * Sunada family head}}<br /> {{People|Naoki Sunada|Naoki Sunada.jpg|<br /> * 33 years old<br /> * Foreign car dealer<br /> * Zenzou's youngest son}}<br /> {{People|Yasuyuki Sunada|Yasuyuki Sunada.jpg|<br /> * 36 years old<br /> * Pro golfer<br /> * Zenzou's eldest son}}<br /> {{People|Misa Yashiro|Misa Yashiro.jpg|<br /> * 27 years old<br /> * Housekeeper}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The police are about to take Yasuyuki to the station but until sudden, they heard the alarm went on. When they go back to the greenhouse, the alarm went off. Conan knocks out Sonoko with his stun gun wristwatch and uses the voice changing bowtie using Sonoko's voice to present his real deduction.<br /> <br /> Conan reveals that the former deal was an alibi trick created using the security alarm. The case occurred before Yasuyuki came to the greenhouse. First, at around 8:00, when Zenzou went inside the greenhouse, the culprit snuck in and committed the crime. Next, in order to put the blame on Yasuyuki, the culprit left a golf mark, which only Yasuyuki has. Afterwards, using the finger of Zenzou's corpse, the culprit sent a text message to Yasuyuki. To create an alibi, the culprit set the cellphone to send the text message at 8:20 pm. The police can ask the phone company to confirm it.<br /> <br /> The culprit then used the deactivation card Zenzou had to escape from the greenhouse. In order to avoid being spotted by Ran, Sonoko, and Conan, the culprit used the back door, which can't been seen from the living room, to re-enter to the mansion. Then, when the culprit ran to the victim, the card was returned. That's why while Yasuyuki was stealing the will, he didn't notice the card. Obviously, it was because the culprit had the card at the time. That means when the alarm went off, there was nobody in the greenhouse. Why did the alarm go off is because the security system is the key to the trick and has become a trap for the culprit. On top of the radiator, they are two ceramic pots on top of it. The security system rings when it detects infrared rays from a person. Ceramic pots, like humans, also easily released infrared rays when heated. The culprit took advantage of that. Conan experimented with it earlier. He puts the pots on top of the radiator. That's why the alarm went off earlier. The same situation as when Yasuyuki came in, in other words, it splendidly rang.<br /> <br /> There is only one person who could commit the crime. The real culprit is '''Misa Yashiro'''. Yashiro thinks that's an interesting theory but asks for evidence to prove it. Conan deduces that the culprit beat Zenzou to death and accidentally knocked a cactus down. However, there was a reason why the culprit had to move the cactus. It was to get the deactivation card. That's when the culprit's hands were pricked by the thorns. That means the person with injured hands is the culprit. When Yashiro shows her hands, it had pricked marks on it. The cactus told Conan about it. When they came to the crime scene, the dirt from the fallen cactus was already dry. Also, the flowers that bloomed had already wilted. That's when it hit Conan. That there was something to do with the greenhouse's temperature. Also, the key to solving the trick was the pot. The pots were stored away earlier were there after the crime. That's when he confirmed it, because the only person who knows where the stored pots are is Yashiro. <br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Mr. Yashiro|Mr Yashiro.jpg|<br /> * Deceased (suicide)<br /> * Misa's father}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> Yashiro confesses to the crime and reveals that she despised Zenzou. Before he retired, he forced many companies into bankruptcy without a drop of guilt, driving many proprietors to commit suicide. Among them was the person who raised Yashiro all on his own: her father. When Yashiro found out he was hiring a housekeeper, she became determined to avenge her father. Then, after seeing his sons waste all their money, she decided to put the blame on one of those two.

A man is dead at the restaurant Kazuha is in, forcing Kogoro, Ran, Sera, Heiji, and Conan to investigate.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Suicide?<br /> | image = EP651 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Danny's<br /> | victim = Kengo Shibamiya<br /> | cause-death = Cyanide poisoning<br /> | suspects = Rakutoshi Sugai, Toru Amakasu, and Sanpei Toujou<br /> | description = In the bathroom, Shibamiya is found dead from cyanide poisoning.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> The witness is Andre Camel who explains the victim's last words were a confession to a poisoning. Heiji reveals the victim was speaking in a Kansai dialect and the victim's actual words were referring to an unknown culprit as the poisoner. Realizing the culprit is still in the restaurant, the police narrow down the suspects to three people without their alibis. After Heiji is unable to trick the culprits into revealing their Kansai dialect, Conan arranges the three culprits to drink salty soup. They are later informed the man was the primary discoverer of the victim in a murder case that happened in Saitama last week.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder (Past)<br /> | image = Murder.png<br /> | location = Company office in Saitama<br /> | victim = Company president<br /> | cause-death = Poison<br /> | suspects = Rakutoshi Sugai, Toru Amakasu, and Sanpei Toujou<br /> | description = Kengo discovered the corpse of his company president in his office.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Kengo Shibamiya|Kengo Shibamiya.png|<br /> * Victim (poison)<br /> * Part-time employee}}<br /> {{People|Rakutoshi Sugai|Rakutoshi Sugai.jpg|<br /> * 39 years old<br /> * Customer}}<br /> {{People|Toru Amakasu|Toru Amakasu.jpg|<br /> * 36 years old<br /> * Customer}}<br /> {{People|Sanpei Toujou|Sanpei Toujou.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Customer}}<br /> {{people|Waitress|EP791 Woman.jpg|<br /> * Danny's waitress}}<br /> {{people|Man|Man2.png|<br /> * Kengo's coworker}}<br /> {{people|Man|EP651 Man.png|<br /> * Deceased (poison)<br /> * Company president}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;'''Toru Amakasu''' is revealed to be the culprit after exclaiming the soup to be &quot;karai&quot; (辛い?, lit. &quot;spicy&quot;), a (somewhat incorrectly used) Kansai equivalent for the Tokyo dialect's &quot;shoppai&quot; (塩っぱい?, lit. &quot;salty&quot;). Another factor is the suffix &quot;-sa&quot; used in the Kansai dialect to finish sentences, a habit which Amakasu has maintained during the investigation. And when Conan blatantly changes his dialect during the presentation of the facts, Amakasu bursts out and identifies Conan's speech as a bad usage of the Kansai dialect, proving that he is really from the Kansai region. The fact that Heiji wasn't able to sort him out as the culprit was due to the fact that, as a native Kansai speaker, he is too used to his dialect's special quirks to discern its more subtle differences from the Tokyo dialect.<br /> <br /> In addition, while acting as a left-hander, Amakasu is really right-handed, as the arrangement of his dishes easily proves. He had used his right hand to administer the poison to his victim and did not want to end up his own victim as well, even after cleaning his hand with a wet napkin usually served along with ramen, which is the reason why he had ordered ramen while the police checked the crime scene.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | image = EP651 Case2.jpg<br /> | crime = Murder (Past)<br /> | victim = Manager<br /> | suspects = Toru Amakasu<br /> | suspects-label = Culprit<br /> | location = Office<br /> | cause-death = Cyanide poisoning<br /> | description = He killed the owner just to rob money. And his childhood friend noticed it, so he (victim) blackmailed Toru.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> As it turns out, Amakasu is responsible for murdering his firm's manager in order to rob money from his office some time earlier, and Shibamiya, who had introduced Amakasu, a childhood friend, to his manager for employment, attempted to persuade him to surrender to the police. Amakasu decided to silence him, so he lured Shibamiya to the restaurant toilet and poisoned him.<br /> <br /> After Amakasu is arrested, Andre and Jodie Starling examine a photo of Sera while noting their familiarity with her face, and to the surprise of Jodie and Camel, Black easily identifies the tomboyish Sera as a girl. Meanwhile, Heiji reveals his purpose of the visit was to take them to the [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|house of deceased Kohei Wakamatsu]] after receiving a letter which challenges him to solve the murder.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * This is the last episode where [[Iemasa Kayumi]] recorded his voice as [[James Black]], as he passed away on September 30, 2014. However, this is not the last episode featuring his voice, as James appeared in flashback during [[Episode 734|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Episode 783|The Scarlet Truth]].<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * There are several abnormalities, events, and scenes in the case that are worth noting. There are three instances where Ran's behavior implies she knows Conan is Shinichi. The first is that she references how Heiji and Shinichi only faced off each other once, but lately have been solving cases together. The wording is what is being called into the spotlight, because there are only 3-4 cases that they even meet up in total, while her words indicate they have met many more times on several occasions. As Heiji has shown clear interest in being with Conan, and has been solving cases with him, this implies she knows Conan is Shinichi or else her wording would be different. The second is when Heiji starts asking about the female detective sniffing around about Kudo. Neither Ran nor Sera correct him, which is especially odd for Ran since she should have found that strange. Sera has only been asking about Conan, not Shinichi, so the lack of a correction throughout the whole case indicates she knows he was referring to Conan when he said Kudo. Finally, when Ran asks to talk to Shinichi over Conan's phone and gets seemingly disappointed that he already hung up. However, she could have just easily called him with her own phone right there since she knew he was available, yet doesn't. This implies she might have just been putting on an act.<br /> &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> * The bus at the beginning is the same from [[The Mysterious Passenger]].<br /> * The suspects' names come from &quot;family dine-in restaurants&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://mysteriouscolors.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-18.html&lt;/ref&gt; :<br /> ** Rakutoshi Sugai (須貝 絡利) comes from {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Skylark Holdings|Skylark Holdings]]|すかいらーく|Sukairāku}}, a company operating multiple family diners in Japan ;<br /> ** Toru Amakasu (甘粕 亨) comes from {{nihongo|Gusto|ガスト|Gasuto}}, a restaurant chain owned by Skylark ;<br /> ** Sanpei Tojo (東條 参平) comes from {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Jonathan's|Jonathan's]]|ジョナサン|Jonasan}}, a restaurant chain owned by Skylark ;<br /> ** Kengo Shibamiya (柴宮 研吾) comes from {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:バーミヤン (レストランチェーン)|Bamiyan]]|バーミヤン|Bāmiyan}}, a restaurant chain owned by Skylark.<br /> <br /> == Manga to anime changes ==<br /> {{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br /> * In this one hour episode, some scenes are not from the manga:<br /> :* The conversation between Conan and Heiji on phone at the beginning.<br /> :* The conversation between Heiji and Kazuha on the bus.<br /> :* Conan tells Ran about Heiji and Kazuha visit. Sera overhears the conversation and joins them.<br /> :* Kazuha scolded Heiji for making inconsiderate remarks about Camel &quot;even if it's true&quot;, which Ran then told Kazuha that was also inconsiderate to say out loud too.<br /> :* Ran and Kazuha taking down the culprit who is trying to escape.

The cause of death wasn't the poison from the spider bite, but a heart attack.<br /> <br /> The spider was already dead before the professor came into contact with it. It had been planted on a needle hidden in the phone receiver. When the victim answered the phone, he would think that he had been bitten by the poisonous spider. The anti-venom had been hidden beforehand, and when he couldn't find it, he panicked. Because of his weak heart, he had a heart attack and died.<br /> <br /> She did that for her boyfriend, Itokawa.

He came off his flight to Okinawa at about 9:50 am, while the murder was committed about twenty minutes earlier.

Instead of taking the direct route from Miyazaki to Okinawa, Motoyama had taken a plane to Tokyo first, then a retour flight (Flight JAL 931) to Okinawa, where he arrived at 9:20 am, precisely 10 minutes before he committed the murder. He then returned to the airport, pretending that he had just come off the direct Miyazaki-Okinawa flight. Hence Motoyama's cryptic historical reference to him being [[Wikipedia: Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi]] and Noze being [[Wikipedia: Akechi Mitsuhide|Mitsuhide]], as Hideyoshi had caught up with Mitsuhide [[Wikipedia: Battle of Yamazaki|much quicker than anticipated]].<br /> <br /> Motoyama was incidentally on the same flight Conan, Ran and Kogoro had boarded and, in disguise, had caught one of the balls Ran had inadvertently dropped. While the tennis ball's felt coating could not retain Motoyama's fingerprints, Kogoro has suggested otherwise in order to have Motoyama guide him and the police to the location of the bloodstained raincoat and murder knife, still hidden in the trunk of the car Motoyama rented for the deed. Another clue was that, when he first met the Moris, he already knew that Conan, who stood apart from Kogoro and Ran at that time, was part of their company, proving that he had seen them together before, i.e. on Flight JAL 931.<br /> <br /> The reason behind the murder was that Nose had suggested to Motoyama, who was a celebrated baseball pitcher himself at that time, that his throwing technique was flawed, prompting Motoyama to practice his pitching obsessively until his throwing arm was ruined. While Nose subsequently used his contacts to get Motoyama the sports reporting job, a shocked Motoyama learned later, through an unedited studio recording of a sports talkshow, that Nose had ''intentionally'' caused Motoyama to drop out of active sports in order to get rid of, what he considered, his competitor for fame.<br /> <br /> After solving the case, Kogoro wonders how he can pass the autographed baseball to his wife, now that her favorite player is dead, but then realizes that with Nose's demise, the baseball has now become a collectors item.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * This episode has, at certain points, captions stating time, place and date. It is similar to other cop/crime shows, like ''Law and Order'' series franchise.<br /> * The type of vehicles shown in this episode are:<br /> ** Detective Irabu's vehicle is a Cyan Toyota Estima XR40.<br /> ** Masaharu Motoyama's car in the airport is a Dark Blue 1993 Toyota Crown Sedan S140.

In the top panel it says &quot;10 years ago&quot;. In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago. Another factor is that Sera is part of Ran's class where the age range is 16 - 17 hence Masumi Sera is 16 at the youngest and 17 at most.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | gender = Female<br /> | date-of-birth =<br /> | occupation = Teitan High School Student &lt;br&gt; Detective<br /> | aliases = Masumi Akai (birth name)<br /> | relatives = [[Tsutomu Akai]] (father, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Mary Sera]] (mother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shuichi Akai]] (oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shukichi Haneda]] (second-oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Elena Miyano]] (aunt, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Atsushi Miyano]] (uncle-in-law, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Akemi Miyano]] (cousin, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Shiho Miyano]] (cousin)<br /> | nicknames = Sera-no-nēchan (by Conan)<br /> | status = Alive<br /> | first-appearance = Manga: [[Volume 73|File 768]] &lt;br&gt; Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|Episode 646]]<br /> | appearances = {{:Masumi Sera Appearances}}<br /> | keyhole = [[Volume 73]]<br /> | japanese-voice = [[Noriko Hidaka]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://combination.jp/blog/2012/02/post-383.html|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2012-02-01|title=新しいお仕事 | Blog | コンビネーション|publisher=combination Co.Ltd.|author=Noriko Hidaka}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Jenny Yokobori]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Ghia Burns]] (Macias Group)<br /> | cases-solved = 8<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良 真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area.

She runs after him, but she can't catch him.

Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died.

After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show.

On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'.

In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago.

She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Masumi doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.<br /> <br /> === EYE (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]]) ===<br /> Conan, Heiji, Masumi, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Masumi takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Masumi is peeved at being left behind.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]]) ===<br /> Masumi is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Masumi thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Masumi asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Masumi isn't seen again for the rest of the case.<br /> <br /> === Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi in her motorcycle.]]<br /> During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]], [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Masumi. Amuro takes interest in Masumi. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Masumi calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Masumi. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Masumi calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Masumi the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.<br /> <br /> Masumi arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Masumi, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Masumi drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Masumi hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera 675.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi looking for Scar Akai.]]<br /> Masumi is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Masumi hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.<br /> <br /> When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]]. Masumi says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan, instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Masumi thinks about that she has known that for a long time.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Masumi sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Masumi had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.<br /> <br /> === Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masome.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi at the campground]]<br /> She went camping when she meets Professor Agasa and Conan. The Detective Boys were lost. Masumi and Conan found the two policemen finding the corpse. After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe. Mitsuhiko pointed the way were their savior went. Masumi then began to ask what kind of woman is their savior. She seemed to be surprised when she saw her on Mitsuhiko's cell phone.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> [[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]<br /> [[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi is revealed to be Shuichi's sister.]]<br /> <br /> === Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]]) ===<br /> Masumi finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Masumi.<br /> <br /> === The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]<br /> Masumi accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show.

Furthermore, Masumi explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone. After successfully investigating the crime scene with Conan, Masumi steps aside with her smartphone and types in the message &quot;It seems like he's also arrived at the truth... But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...&quot;. When the recipient writes back &quot;Who is he? I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Masumi making a call with in File 857.<br /> <br /> === Red Woman Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|872]]-[[Volume 83|875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===<br /> Masumi takes a request from her middle brother to consult in his place about a case involving some of his high school classmates who are now 28-29 years old.

At the hotel, Conan tries to peek in Masumi's bedroom, but Masumi wards him off by embarrassing him. Masumi also asks Conan is she reminds him of someone he met in the past, but Conan draws a blank. A murder interrupts the meeting. While Conan is investigating, he notices the middle-school aged [[Mary|child]] from Masumi's cellphone picture in the gathered crowd. Later, Conan and the gang return to Masumi's room, and Conan hides his glasses earpiece [[microphone]] to spy on the apartment.

Masumi asks the child is she is beginning to like him, but the child responds that she is still long way from trusting him.

[[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Shuichi's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.<br /> * Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. &quot;''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'.

In the top panel it says &quot;10 years ago&quot;. In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago. Another factor is that Sera is part of Ran's class where the age range is 16 - 17 hence Masumi Sera is 16 at the youngest and 17 at most.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | gender = Female<br /> | date-of-birth =<br /> | occupation = Teitan High School Student &lt;br&gt; Detective<br /> | aliases = Masumi Akai (birth name)<br /> | relatives = [[Tsutomu Akai]] (father, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Mary Sera]] (mother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shuichi Akai]] (oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shukichi Haneda]] (second-oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Elena Miyano]] (aunt, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Atsushi Miyano]] (uncle-in-law, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Akemi Miyano]] (cousin, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Shiho Miyano]] (cousin)<br /> | nicknames = Sera-no-nēchan (by Conan)<br /> | status = Alive<br /> | first-appearance = Manga: [[Volume 73|File 768]] &lt;br&gt; Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|Episode 646]]<br /> | appearances = {{:Masumi Sera Appearances}}<br /> | keyhole = [[Volume 73]]<br /> | japanese-voice = [[Noriko Hidaka]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://combination.jp/blog/2012/02/post-383.html|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2012-02-01|title=新しいお仕事 | Blog | コンビネーション|publisher=combination Co.Ltd.|author=Noriko Hidaka}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Jenny Yokobori]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Ghia Burns]] (Macias Group)<br /> | cases-solved = 8<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良 真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Masumi doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.<br /> <br /> === EYE (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]]) ===<br /> Conan, Heiji, Masumi, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Masumi takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Masumi is peeved at being left behind.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]]) ===<br /> Masumi is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Masumi thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Masumi asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Masumi isn't seen again for the rest of the case.<br /> <br /> === Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi in her motorcycle.]]<br /> During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]], [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Masumi. Amuro takes interest in Masumi. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Masumi calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Masumi. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Masumi calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Masumi the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.<br /> <br /> Masumi arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Masumi, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Masumi drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Masumi hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera 675.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi looking for Scar Akai.]]<br /> Masumi is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Masumi hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.<br /> <br /> When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]]. Masumi says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan, instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Masumi thinks about that she has known that for a long time.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Masumi sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Masumi had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.<br /> <br /> === Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masome.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi at the campground]]<br /> She went camping when she meets Professor Agasa and Conan. The Detective Boys were lost. Masumi and Conan found the two policemen finding the corpse. After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe. Mitsuhiko pointed the way were their savior went. Masumi then began to ask what kind of woman is their savior. She seemed to be surprised when she saw her on Mitsuhiko's cell phone.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> [[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]<br /> [[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi is revealed to be Shuichi's sister.]]<br /> <br /> === Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]]) ===<br /> Masumi finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Masumi.<br /> <br /> === The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]<br /> Masumi accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show. Conan wants to ask something important to Masumi, but a murder gets in his way. While solving the case, Ran realises that Masumi and her might have met each other before, since Ran thinks of waves in the beach each time Masumi gets away. At the end of the case, Conan asks Masumi if they had met each other before. Masumi smiles and says she doesn´t know, but actually she thinks &quot;Of course we have, but I can’t tell you until the time comes...&quot;<br /> <br /> === Adultery Investigation (Manga: [[Volume 81|856-858]], Anime: [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|740-741]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraCall.png|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is calling her brother on the phone.]]<br /> After being hired by a classmate, Keiko Kitao, Masumi is investigating to see if the boyfriend of Keiko's sister has fully committed to their relationship. However, as the atmosphere is rapidly changed by the murder, Masumi and Conan start to investigate the crime scene. When Conan has finally deduced who the culprit is, he also observes Masumi making a call with someone saying &quot;...Say, my deduction... It's not wrong, is it?&quot;. Upon solving the case, Eri states having seen Masumi talking to her brother on the phone.<br /> <br /> === Meeting Makoto (Manga: [[Volume 81|859-861]], Anime: [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|744-745]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraAndMakoto.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi attacks Makoto with her Jeet Kune Do.]]<br /> At a Bowling Center with Conan, Ran, Sonoko and Kogoro, Masumi is introduced to Sonoko's boyfriend Makoto. Shortly before, Makoto mistakes Masumi for a stranger being &quot;overly friendly&quot; with Sonoko and tries to fight her. Masumi explains that she has been taught Jeet Kune Do by her older brother, she also reveals that besides her assumingly dead brother, she also has a second-oldest brother. Furthermore, Masumi explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone. After successfully investigating the crime scene with Conan, Masumi steps aside with her smartphone and types in the message &quot;It seems like he's also arrived at the truth... But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...&quot;. When the recipient writes back &quot;Who is he? I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Masumi making a call with in File 857.<br /> <br /> === Red Woman Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|872]]-[[Volume 83|875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===<br /> Masumi takes a request from her middle brother to consult in his place about a case involving some of his high school classmates who are now 28-29 years old.

She reveals that she and her brothers each have different family names for various reasons, one of which is the death of her father. The case takes a dark turn when one of the classmates is found murdered in a bathtub of tomatoes. With the help of the Nagano police, Conan and Masumi manage to solve the case. Later, Masumi asks Conan to find her cellphone in the kitchen by calling it with his. He does so and Conan notices the call background screen is a [[Mary|child who looks like Masumi]] with eye bags similar to those of the [[Akai family]] members. Masumi mentions having a younger sister earlier on (Episode 754), so Conan suspects Masumi was intentionally trying to show him the child for some reason.<br /> <br /> === Romance Novelist Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 83|876]]-[[Volume 83|878]], Anime: [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|759-760]]) ===<br /> On the way home from school, Ran and Sonoko decide to visit Masumi's hotel (which is different from the other one she has been staying at earlier). Masumi claims she had a meeting with her supposedly-hard-to-reach [[Shukichi Haneda|middle brother]] planned, so she texts him to reschedule. Conan seems to notice this contradiction. At the hotel, Conan tries to peek in Masumi's bedroom, but Masumi wards him off by embarrassing him. Masumi also asks Conan is she reminds him of someone he met in the past, but Conan draws a blank. A murder interrupts the meeting. While Conan is investigating, he notices the middle-school aged [[Mary|child]] from Masumi's cellphone picture in the gathered crowd. Later, Conan and the gang return to Masumi's room, and Conan hides his glasses earpiece [[microphone]] to spy on the apartment.

Four years ago, Masumi was taught a few notes on the base guitar by a friend of her brother, [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]].

A case occurs, which involved the method of counting fingers in different countries. Masumi seems to count the same way that is used in the UK, but seems to think that it is the way it is done in the US. As Conan corrects her, she seems confused. Conan thinks back on all of the times that Masumi has done things that seem to imply that she was in the UK rather than the US and he finally remembers the events of 10 years ago by repeating イギリス (Igirisu / Britain) in is head.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> === A Chance Meeting at the Beach (Manga: [[Volume 92#A Chance Meeting at the Beach|972-974]], Anime: [[The Wizard of the Ripples|881-882]]) ===<br /> The history between Shinichi, Ran and Masumi as children is explored.<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;[[File:Mary Masumi Shuichi at beach.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A flashback to 10 years ago at the beach.]]<br /> 10 years ago, Masumi, along with her mother Mary and brothers Shukichi Haneda and Shuichi Akai encounter Shinichi, who is playing detective, and Ran at a beach.

With hints and intelligence of both Shuichi, Shinichi and his father, Yusaku, they are able to solve the case.<br /> <br /> In the end, Masumi calls Shinichi a 'magician'. Though it may be thought that it was because Shinichi was able to humor a rather serious person, Shuichi Akai; it is not the reason behind Masumi calling him 'magician'.<br /> &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> Many important historical events relating to the Akai family, Shuichi Akai and his commitment to find his father's killer and the character of Tsutomu Akai is explored in this episode/chapter.<br /> <br /> === Café Rice Flower Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 94#Café Rice Flower Murder Case|994-996]], Anime:[[The High School Girl Trio's Secret Café|919-920]]) ===<br /> Masumi and Sonoko meets up with Ran in a café to discuss details of the school field trip to Kyoto and happen upon a murder.

She follows Conan, Agasa, Ai, and Subaru to the house of an appraiser whom Agasa requested to inspect an antique plate he had found at his late uncle and aunt's estate.

Subaru easily dodged the kick and told Sera that the division of fault is &quot;50:50&quot;; saying that he might be at fault for irritating her, but she is also at fault for trying to kick him, which surprised Sera.<br /> After the case, Sera asks her mother about her &quot;50:50&quot; catchphrase, Mary revealed that it is a line that her husband used to say and that her son Shuichi inherited it from him. Mary asks Sera if she can get her hands on the drug, Sera tells her that it is difficult for the moment since Subaru Okiya is standing in her way.

Sera started to remember her mother's shrinking, which occured at the same time of [[Holmes' Revelation]]'s arc in London. Sera and Mary witnessed Conan calling himself Holmes' apprentice during Minerva's match on TV, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi 10 years ago on the beach. The two realised that Conan is Shinichi, and has a way to return as Shinichi to board a plane to London. Since then, Mary ordered Sera to get closer to him in order to obtain the antidote. Then, Sera opens the medicine box, but realises that the antidote isn't in there, as Conan tricked her by putting it elsewhere, much to Sera's chagrin.<br /> <br /> === Serial Hotel Bombing Case (Manga: [[Volume 103|1094-1096]], Anime: [[The Hotel Serial Bombing Case|1144-1145]]) ===<br /> After luring Conan to their current hotel to get their hands on the APTX antidote, Sera and Mary get involved in the resolution of a serial bombing case.

She and Conan helped in chasing the culprit and afterwards was shot by the culprit after saving Conan.<br /> <br /> === The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery (Anime: [[The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery|1002]]) ===<br /> This episode is a pre-story to [[The Scarlet Bullet|Movie 24]]. Sera, Sonoko and Ran suggest to the store association members to use their &quot;garbage takeout bag&quot;, which they agree with.<br /> <br /> === The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===<br /> Masumi appeared in the movie along with her brothers and her mother. She helps Conan and Alan stopped the culprit before the train they are in crash into a nearby train station.<br /> <br /> == Plot Exposition ==<br /> === Hints that Masumi was Shuichi Akai's sister ===<br /> Masumi was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]&lt;ref name=821p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: &quot;Mystery Train (Junction)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and while sleeptalking.&lt;ref name=823p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: &quot;Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|Masumi and Shuichi Akai.]]<br /> * Masumi has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.<br /> * Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] ({{lang|ja|セイラ・マス}}, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Shuichi's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.<br /> * Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. &quot;''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'. The kanji for her first name, Masumi, means 'true' and either 'pure' or 'net' (regarding profit).<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Deletion.

Since Natsuki had proven highly popular, but Aoyama couldn't recycle her as a protagonist, the character of Masumi was created instead.&lt;ref&gt;''Shonen Sunday'' #33&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * When she was young she liked to read the &quot;[[Night Baron]]&quot; series, so she is a fan of [[Yusaku Kudo]].<br /> * Her catchphrase, &quot;Case Closed&quot; (said in English), is likely a reference to the English-language name of Detective Conan. It was later revealed that she first heard the phrase being used by her brother Shuichi after he solved a case, most likely inspiring Masumi to use it herself as well.<br /> * Masumi owns an [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Sera's Yamaha Artesia XT400|Artesia XT400]].<br /> * Masumi speaks Queen's English.&lt;ref&gt;[[:File:Postcard2015 1.jpg]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 80+, Sera's design was the hardest to design.<br /> *According to Super Digest Book 100+, Sera receives loves letters.<br /> *Unknown to Masumi, Ran, Sonoko and her are in the Teitan High secret popularity contest top ten.<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable CharLang}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Japan|Japanese|真純 Masumi|世良 Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Arab League|Arabic|ماسومي Māsūmi|سيرا Sēra}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Malaysia|Bahasa Melayu|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Catalonia|Catalan|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=China|Chinese (Simplified)|真纯 Zhēnchún|世良 Shìliáng}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=France|French|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Italy|Italian|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=North Korea|flag2=South Korea|Korean|세라 Sera|양 Yang}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Brazil|Portuguese (Brazil)|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Mexico|Spanish (U.S.)|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|มาสึมิ Mās̄ụ-mi|เซระ Sera}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> * [[Akai family]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{FeaturedArticle|March 23, 2011}}<br /> <br /> {{Characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Sera Masumi}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Female characters]]<br /> [[Category:Detectives]]<br /> [[Category:High school detectives]]<br /> [[Category:High school students]]<br /> [[Category:Martial artists]]<br /> [[Category:Characters who know Conan's identity]]<br /> [[Category:Characters named after Mobile Suit Gundam characters]]<br /> <br /> [[ca:Masumi Sera]]<br /> [[de:Masumi Sera]]<br /> [[fr:Masumi Sera]]<br /> [[zh:世良真纯]]</div>

In the top panel it says &quot;10 years ago&quot;. In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago. Another factor is that Sera is part of Ran's class where the age range is 16 - 17 hence Masumi Sera is 16 at the youngest and 17 at most.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | gender = Female<br /> | date-of-birth =<br /> | occupation = Teitan High School Student &lt;br&gt; Detective<br /> | aliases = Masumi Akai (birth name)<br /> | relatives = [[Tsutomu Akai]] (father, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Mary Sera]] (mother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shuichi Akai]] (oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shukichi Haneda]] (second-oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Elena Miyano]] (aunt, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Atsushi Miyano]] (uncle-in-law, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Akemi Miyano]] (cousin, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Shiho Miyano]] (cousin)<br /> | nicknames = Sera-no-nēchan (by Conan)<br /> | status = Alive<br /> | first-appearance = Manga: [[Volume 73|File 768]] &lt;br&gt; Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|Episode 646]]<br /> | appearances = {{:Masumi Sera Appearances}}<br /> | keyhole = [[Volume 73]]<br /> | japanese-voice = [[Noriko Hidaka]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://combination.jp/blog/2012/02/post-383.html|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2012-02-01|title=新しいお仕事 | Blog | コンビネーション|publisher=combination Co.Ltd.|author=Noriko Hidaka}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Jenny Yokobori]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Ghia Burns]] (Macias Group)<br /> | cases-solved = 8<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良 真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Masumi doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.<br /> <br /> === EYE (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]]) ===<br /> Conan, Heiji, Masumi, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Masumi takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Masumi is peeved at being left behind.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]]) ===<br /> Masumi is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Masumi thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Masumi asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Masumi isn't seen again for the rest of the case.<br /> <br /> === Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi in her motorcycle.]]<br /> During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]], [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Masumi. Amuro takes interest in Masumi. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Masumi calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Masumi. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Masumi calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Masumi the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.<br /> <br /> Masumi arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Masumi, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Masumi drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Masumi hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera 675.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi looking for Scar Akai.]]<br /> Masumi is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Masumi hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.<br /> <br /> When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]]. Masumi says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan, instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Masumi thinks about that she has known that for a long time.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Masumi sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Masumi had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.<br /> <br /> === Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masome.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi at the campground]]<br /> She went camping when she meets Professor Agasa and Conan. The Detective Boys were lost. Masumi and Conan found the two policemen finding the corpse. After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe. Mitsuhiko pointed the way were their savior went. Masumi then began to ask what kind of woman is their savior. She seemed to be surprised when she saw her on Mitsuhiko's cell phone.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> [[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]<br /> [[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi is revealed to be Shuichi's sister.]]<br /> <br /> === Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]]) ===<br /> Masumi finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Masumi.<br /> <br /> === The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]<br /> Masumi accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show. Conan wants to ask something important to Masumi, but a murder gets in his way. While solving the case, Ran realises that Masumi and her might have met each other before, since Ran thinks of waves in the beach each time Masumi gets away. At the end of the case, Conan asks Masumi if they had met each other before. Masumi smiles and says she doesn´t know, but actually she thinks &quot;Of course we have, but I can’t tell you until the time comes...&quot;<br /> <br /> === Adultery Investigation (Manga: [[Volume 81|856-858]], Anime: [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|740-741]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraCall.png|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is calling her brother on the phone.]]<br /> After being hired by a classmate, Keiko Kitao, Masumi is investigating to see if the boyfriend of Keiko's sister has fully committed to their relationship. However, as the atmosphere is rapidly changed by the murder, Masumi and Conan start to investigate the crime scene. When Conan has finally deduced who the culprit is, he also observes Masumi making a call with someone saying &quot;...Say, my deduction... It's not wrong, is it?&quot;. Upon solving the case, Eri states having seen Masumi talking to her brother on the phone.<br /> <br /> === Meeting Makoto (Manga: [[Volume 81|859-861]], Anime: [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|744-745]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraAndMakoto.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi attacks Makoto with her Jeet Kune Do.]]<br /> At a Bowling Center with Conan, Ran, Sonoko and Kogoro, Masumi is introduced to Sonoko's boyfriend Makoto. Shortly before, Makoto mistakes Masumi for a stranger being &quot;overly friendly&quot; with Sonoko and tries to fight her. Masumi explains that she has been taught Jeet Kune Do by her older brother, she also reveals that besides her assumingly dead brother, she also has a second-oldest brother. Furthermore, Masumi explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone. After successfully investigating the crime scene with Conan, Masumi steps aside with her smartphone and types in the message &quot;It seems like he's also arrived at the truth... But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...&quot;. When the recipient writes back &quot;Who is he? I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Masumi making a call with in File 857.<br /> <br /> === Red Woman Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|872]]-[[Volume 83|875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===<br /> Masumi takes a request from her middle brother to consult in his place about a case involving some of his high school classmates who are now 28-29 years old. On the way to a cabin in the woods, Masumi tells Conan and the gang more about her family history and timeline. She reveals that she and her brothers each have different family names for various reasons, one of which is the death of her father. The case takes a dark turn when one of the classmates is found murdered in a bathtub of tomatoes. With the help of the Nagano police, Conan and Masumi manage to solve the case. Later, Masumi asks Conan to find her cellphone in the kitchen by calling it with his. He does so and Conan notices the call background screen is a [[Mary|child who looks like Masumi]] with eye bags similar to those of the [[Akai family]] members. Masumi mentions having a younger sister earlier on (Episode 754), so Conan suspects Masumi was intentionally trying to show him the child for some reason.<br /> <br /> === Romance Novelist Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 83|876]]-[[Volume 83|878]], Anime: [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|759-760]]) ===<br /> On the way home from school, Ran and Sonoko decide to visit Masumi's hotel (which is different from the other one she has been staying at earlier). Masumi claims she had a meeting with her supposedly-hard-to-reach [[Shukichi Haneda|middle brother]] planned, so she texts him to reschedule. Conan seems to notice this contradiction. At the hotel, Conan tries to peek in Masumi's bedroom, but Masumi wards him off by embarrassing him. Masumi also asks Conan is she reminds him of someone he met in the past, but Conan draws a blank. A murder interrupts the meeting. While Conan is investigating, he notices the middle-school aged [[Mary|child]] from Masumi's cellphone picture in the gathered crowd. Later, Conan and the gang return to Masumi's room, and Conan hides his glasses earpiece [[microphone]] to spy on the apartment. It is quickly found and destroyed by Masumi and the child after Conan departs with Ran and Sonoko. Masumi asks the child is she is beginning to like him, but the child responds that she is still long way from trusting him. The child asks Masumi to tell Conan she is her little sister from outside the territory if he asks about her. Masumi doesn't mention that she showed Conan the child's picture.<br /> <br /> === Shogi Tournament (Manga: [[Volume 85|899-902]], Anime: [[Taiko Meijin's Match of Love|785-786]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera invites Conan over to her new hotel to visit, but Conan says that he can't come. While he fibs to Sera, the true reason is that he's attending a Shogi game that day. While Sera doesn't investigate the case itself, she sees the Shogi game on TV while [[Mary|the child]] is sleeping on the table. At the end of the case the young girl has woken up, and is happy about the game's conclusion.<br /> <br /> === Poolside Case (Manga: [[Volume 85|903]]-[[Volume 86|903-905]], Anime: [[The Mystery Sinking in the Midsummer Pool|787-788]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera invites Conan over so that the child from Masumi's phone knows that he can be trusted, indicating that if he can't, they'll have to find a new living quarters. However despite promising he'd come alone, he ends up bringing Ran and Sonoko with him, much to the little girl and Masumi's frustration. The three teenage girls and Conan plan to hang out at the hotel's pool, but get interrupted by an emergency accompanied by a case. Sera and Conan solve the case together. At the end of the case Ran realizes that she recognizes Sera and her &quot;little sister&quot; from somewhere, but can't quite recall where.<br /> <br /> === Ran &amp; Shinichi - First Contact (Manga: [[Volume 87#Ran &amp; Shinichi - First Contact|921-924]], Anime: [[Memories from Sakura Class|853-854]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera, Sonoko and Ran are all walking in the cherry blossoms when Ran remembers when she first met Shinichi. Sonoko and Ran proceed to tell Sera a synopsized version of the event.<br /> <br /> === A Killer in Ramen Ogura (Manga: [[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|928-930]], Anime: [[Ramen So Good, It's to Die For 2|827-828]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan all agree to have dinner at Sera's favorite ramen place. While there, Conan and Sera learn that three of the customers are suspects in an ongoing robbery-cum-murder case. Sera calls her brother to get more information on the suspects, but he's busy and hangs up on her. Sera and Conan both solve the case, and in the end the chef gives Conan a handkerchief that he mistakenly believes belongs to Sera, but actually says [[Mary Sera|Mary]]. This prompts Conan to realize that he must have met Mary somewhere, but can't recall where.<br /> <br /> === Girls Band Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 88#Girls Band Murder Case|936-938]], Anime:[[The Unfriendly Girls Band|836-837]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masumi and Scotch Flashback EP836 (3).jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi remembers meeting a man nicknamed Scotch]]<br /> Sonoko gets inspired by a movie she saw the previous night (inspired by the anime K-On!) to start a girl's band with Sera and Ran. Four years ago, Masumi was taught a few notes on the base guitar by a friend of her brother, [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]]. The friend was referred to as &quot;[[Scotch]]&quot; by another person who Masumi thinks looks like [[Rei Furuya|Rei]]. She helps solve the murder case the group runs into, and mentions that she was inspired by her oldest brother into becoming a detective.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|863-864]]) ===<br /> <br /> Masumi and Mary has moved into another hotel, where a murder takes place next door. Kogoro investigates the inside of the hotel room as part of a case, and after Masumi stalls him for a bit, Mary hides underneath the room's 4th floor veranda. Masumi intercepts Conan right before Mary is discovered, though Conan still manages to snap a picture of her. Sera uses a phone to give Mary all the information she needs to solve the case, and she uses Conan's lost bowtie modulator to pretend to be Kogoro.<br /> <br /> === Swimsuit Festival Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 91#Swimsuit Festival|969]]-[[Volume 92#Swimsuit Festival|971]], Anime: [[The Blind Spot in the Dressing Room|878-879]]) ===<br /> Masumi intentionally puts on a bathing suit similar to the one that she had worn in the past to try to jog Conan's memory of where they met. A case occurs, which involved the method of counting fingers in different countries. Masumi seems to count the same way that is used in the UK, but seems to think that it is the way it is done in the US. As Conan corrects her, she seems confused. Conan thinks back on all of the times that Masumi has done things that seem to imply that she was in the UK rather than the US and he finally remembers the events of 10 years ago by repeating イギリス (Igirisu / Britain) in is head.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> === A Chance Meeting at the Beach (Manga: [[Volume 92#A Chance Meeting at the Beach|972-974]], Anime: [[The Wizard of the Ripples|881-882]]) ===<br /> The history between Shinichi, Ran and Masumi as children is explored.<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;[[File:Mary Masumi Shuichi at beach.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A flashback to 10 years ago at the beach.]]<br /> 10 years ago, Masumi, along with her mother Mary and brothers Shukichi Haneda and Shuichi Akai encounter Shinichi, who is playing detective, and Ran at a beach. Shinichi introduce himself as &quot;Holmes Apprentice&quot;. Later, the Akai family gets caught up in a robbery/accident case where a van falls into the ocean and the victim inside is identified as a robber. With hints and intelligence of both Shuichi, Shinichi and his father, Yusaku, they are able to solve the case.<br /> <br /> In the end, Masumi calls Shinichi a 'magician'. Though it may be thought that it was because Shinichi was able to humor a rather serious person, Shuichi Akai; it is not the reason behind Masumi calling him 'magician'.<br /> &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> Many important historical events relating to the Akai family, Shuichi Akai and his commitment to find his father's killer and the character of Tsutomu Akai is explored in this episode/chapter.<br /> <br /> === Café Rice Flower Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 94#Café Rice Flower Murder Case|994-996]], Anime:[[The High School Girl Trio's Secret Café|919-920]]) ===<br /> Masumi and Sonoko meets up with Ran in a café to discuss details of the school field trip to Kyoto and happen upon a murder.

In Kyoto, she participated in solving a murder case along with other high school detectives, Heiji and Shinichi. This whole case is a confirmation of Masumi knowing Shinichi's real identity. After the case is solved, Masumi is seen calling her mother, [[Mary Sera]] telling her that &quot;it seems the antidote exists&quot; and her mission now is to get it without fail.<br /> <br /> === TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1022-1026]], Anime: [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy|993-995]]) ===<br /> Masumi, Ran and Conan joins with Makoto and Sonoko to watch a movie. They encounter a murder case which happens in a TV Drama Filming Site. To get the antidote for Mary, she trys to ask Ran about Shinichi circumstance during the school trip, and ask her if Shinichi appears in her sight, then Conan would be gone. However, Ran said that she saw both Shinichi and Conan during the [[The Desperate Revival|school festival]], which surprised her. After that, she trys to confronts Conan by calling him Shinichi. Conan denies that it is impossible that he is Shinichi. Masumi remembers her mother, Mary attempted to contact [[Tsutomu Akai|her father]] in London, leaving herself in the room, and came back hours later in the body of a middle-school child form. Until she saw Conan [[Holmes' Revelation|appears in London]], which cause her back to Japan. She ask Ran and Conan that are there any mature child which is similar to Conan. They said that Haibara, who has the mature personality similar to Conan, She remembers that she had met her in the [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Mystery Train]] before.<br /> <br /> === Antique Facet Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Antique Facet Case|1035]]-[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|1038]], Anime: [[The Antique Tray Can't Be Hidden|1018-1020]]) ===<br /> After having more or less confirmed Conan's true identity as Shinichi, Masumi starts to investigate about Ai Haibara's connection to him due to her mature personality and unusual choice of Kanji for her name. She follows Conan, Agasa, Ai, and Subaru to the house of an appraiser whom Agasa requested to inspect an antique plate he had found at his late uncle and aunt's estate. During the case, she was constantly pressuring Haibara into revealing her true identity and giving her the [[APTX 4869|drugs]] that restores &quot; the flow of time&quot;. However, Subaru ended up interrupting Sera's investigation, which irritated Sera and tried to kick him. Subaru easily dodged the kick and told Sera that the division of fault is &quot;50:50&quot;; saying that he might be at fault for irritating her, but she is also at fault for trying to kick him, which surprised Sera.<br /> After the case, Sera asks her mother about her &quot;50:50&quot; catchphrase, Mary revealed that it is a line that her husband used to say and that her son Shuichi inherited it from him. Mary asks Sera if she can get her hands on the drug, Sera tells her that it is difficult for the moment since Subaru Okiya is standing in her way. Mary asks her if he is such a noteworthy person, however, Sera is more concerned about whether Subaru is her brother Akai or not, since he's using the same &quot;50:50&quot; catchphrase as her brother.<br /> <br /> === Sisters' Birthday Party Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 98|1047]]-[[Volume 99|1050]], Anime: [[The Birthday Party of Divine Punishment|1045-1046]]) ===<br /> Ran, Sonoko, Sera and Conan are invited to sisters' birthday party.

Her mother orders her to steal it possible. Eventually, a murder takes places, postponing Sera's plan. After the case is solved, Sera managed somehow to steal the medicine box. Sera started to remember her mother's shrinking, which occured at the same time of [[Holmes' Revelation]]'s arc in London. Sera and Mary witnessed Conan calling himself Holmes' apprentice during Minerva's match on TV, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi 10 years ago on the beach. The two realised that Conan is Shinichi, and has a way to return as Shinichi to board a plane to London. Since then, Mary ordered Sera to get closer to him in order to obtain the antidote. Then, Sera opens the medicine box, but realises that the antidote isn't in there, as Conan tricked her by putting it elsewhere, much to Sera's chagrin.<br /> <br /> === Serial Hotel Bombing Case (Manga: [[Volume 103|1094-1096]], Anime: [[The Hotel Serial Bombing Case|1144-1145]]) ===<br /> After luring Conan to their current hotel to get their hands on the APTX antidote, Sera and Mary get involved in the resolution of a serial bombing case.

As Sera and Mary try to avoid drawing attention to themselves, they are nevertheless spotted by the unknown old man.&lt;ref name=&quot;File 1096&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 103]], [[Volume 103#Serial Hotel Bombing Case|File 1094-1096]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Azusa Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 106#Azusa Kidnapping Case|1126-1128]], Anime: TBA) ===<br /> <br /> === Blackmail Journalist Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 108#Blackmail Journalist Murder Case|1151-1153]], Anime: TBA) ===<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === Dimensional Sniper (Movie: [[Dimensional Sniper|18]]) ===<br /> Sera appeared in this movie as an investigator of the person who had been shot in the Bell Tower. She and Conan helped in chasing the culprit and afterwards was shot by the culprit after saving Conan.<br /> <br /> === The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery (Anime: [[The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery|1002]]) ===<br /> This episode is a pre-story to [[The Scarlet Bullet|Movie 24]]. Sera, Sonoko and Ran suggest to the store association members to use their &quot;garbage takeout bag&quot;, which they agree with.<br /> <br /> === The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===<br /> Masumi appeared in the movie along with her brothers and her mother. She helps Conan and Alan stopped the culprit before the train they are in crash into a nearby train station.<br /> <br /> == Plot Exposition ==<br /> === Hints that Masumi was Shuichi Akai's sister ===<br /> Masumi was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]&lt;ref name=821p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: &quot;Mystery Train (Junction)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and while sleeptalking.&lt;ref name=823p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: &quot;Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|Masumi and Shuichi Akai.]]<br /> * Masumi has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.<br /> * Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] ({{lang|ja|セイラ・マス}}, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Shuichi's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.<br /> * Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. &quot;''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'. The kanji for her first name, Masumi, means 'true' and either 'pure' or 'net' (regarding profit).<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Deletion.

It was later revealed that she first heard the phrase being used by her brother Shuichi after he solved a case, most likely inspiring Masumi to use it herself as well.<br /> * Masumi owns an [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Sera's Yamaha Artesia XT400|Artesia XT400]].<br /> * Masumi speaks Queen's English.&lt;ref&gt;[[:File:Postcard2015 1.jpg]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 80+, Sera's design was the hardest to design.<br /> *According to Super Digest Book 100+, Sera receives loves letters.<br /> *Unknown to Masumi, Ran, Sonoko and her are in the Teitan High secret popularity contest top ten.<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable CharLang}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Japan|Japanese|真純 Masumi|世良 Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Arab League|Arabic|ماسومي Māsūmi|سيرا Sēra}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Malaysia|Bahasa Melayu|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Catalonia|Catalan|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=China|Chinese (Simplified)|真纯 Zhēnchún|世良 Shìliáng}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=France|French|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Italy|Italian|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=North Korea|flag2=South Korea|Korean|세라 Sera|양 Yang}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Brazil|Portuguese (Brazil)|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Mexico|Spanish (U.S.)|Masumi|Sera}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|มาสึมิ Mās̄ụ-mi|เซระ Sera}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> * [[Akai family]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{FeaturedArticle|March 23, 2011}}<br /> <br /> {{Characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Sera Masumi}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Female characters]]<br /> [[Category:Detectives]]<br /> [[Category:High school detectives]]<br /> [[Category:High school students]]<br /> [[Category:Martial artists]]<br /> [[Category:Characters who know Conan's identity]]<br /> [[Category:Characters named after Mobile Suit Gundam characters]]<br /> <br /> [[ca:Masumi Sera]]<br /> [[de:Masumi Sera]]<br /> [[fr:Masumi Sera]]<br /> [[zh:世良真纯]]</div>

In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago. Another factor is that Sera is part of Ran's class where the age range is 16 - 17 hence Masumi Sera is 16 at the youngest and 17 at most.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | gender = Female<br /> | date-of-birth =<br /> | occupation = Teitan High School Student &lt;br&gt; Detective<br /> | aliases = Masumi Akai (birth name)<br /> | relatives = [[Tsutomu Akai]] (father, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Mary Sera]] (mother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shuichi Akai]] (oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shukichi Haneda]] (second-oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Elena Miyano]] (aunt, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Atsushi Miyano]] (uncle-in-law, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Akemi Miyano]] (cousin, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Shiho Miyano]] (cousin)<br /> | nicknames = Sera-no-nēchan (by Conan)<br /> | status = Alive<br /> | first-appearance = Manga: [[Volume 73|File 768]] &lt;br&gt; Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|Episode 646]]<br /> | appearances = {{:Masumi Sera Appearances}}<br /> | keyhole = [[Volume 73]]<br /> | japanese-voice = [[Noriko Hidaka]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://combination.jp/blog/2012/02/post-383.html|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2012-02-01|title=新しいお仕事 | Blog | コンビネーション|publisher=combination Co.Ltd.|author=Noriko Hidaka}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Jenny Yokobori]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Ghia Burns]] (Macias Group)<br /> | cases-solved = 8<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良 真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Masumi doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.<br /> <br /> === EYE (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]]) ===<br /> Conan, Heiji, Masumi, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Masumi takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Masumi is peeved at being left behind.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]]) ===<br /> Masumi is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Masumi thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Masumi asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Masumi isn't seen again for the rest of the case.<br /> <br /> === Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi in her motorcycle.]]<br /> During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]], [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Masumi. Amuro takes interest in Masumi. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Masumi calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Masumi. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Masumi calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Masumi the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.<br /> <br /> Masumi arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Masumi, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Masumi drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Masumi hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera 675.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi looking for Scar Akai.]]<br /> Masumi is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Masumi hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.<br /> <br /> When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]]. Masumi says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan, instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Masumi thinks about that she has known that for a long time.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Masumi sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Masumi had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.<br /> <br /> === Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masome.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi at the campground]]<br /> She went camping when she meets Professor Agasa and Conan. The Detective Boys were lost. Masumi and Conan found the two policemen finding the corpse. After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe. Mitsuhiko pointed the way were their savior went. Masumi then began to ask what kind of woman is their savior. She seemed to be surprised when she saw her on Mitsuhiko's cell phone.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> [[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]<br /> [[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi is revealed to be Shuichi's sister.]]<br /> <br /> === Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]]) ===<br /> Masumi finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Masumi.<br /> <br /> === The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]<br /> Masumi accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show.

At the end of the case, Conan asks Masumi if they had met each other before. Masumi smiles and says she doesn´t know, but actually she thinks &quot;Of course we have, but I can’t tell you until the time comes...&quot;<br /> <br /> === Adultery Investigation (Manga: [[Volume 81|856-858]], Anime: [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|740-741]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraCall.png|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is calling her brother on the phone.]]<br /> After being hired by a classmate, Keiko Kitao, Masumi is investigating to see if the boyfriend of Keiko's sister has fully committed to their relationship.

Furthermore, Masumi explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone.

But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...&quot;. When the recipient writes back &quot;Who is he? I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Masumi making a call with in File 857.<br /> <br /> === Red Woman Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|872]]-[[Volume 83|875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===<br /> Masumi takes a request from her middle brother to consult in his place about a case involving some of his high school classmates who are now 28-29 years old.

At the hotel, Conan tries to peek in Masumi's bedroom, but Masumi wards him off by embarrassing him. Masumi also asks Conan is she reminds him of someone he met in the past, but Conan draws a blank. A murder interrupts the meeting. While Conan is investigating, he notices the middle-school aged [[Mary|child]] from Masumi's cellphone picture in the gathered crowd. Later, Conan and the gang return to Masumi's room, and Conan hides his glasses earpiece [[microphone]] to spy on the apartment.

Masumi asks the child is she is beginning to like him, but the child responds that she is still long way from trusting him.

Mary asks her if he is such a noteworthy person, however, Sera is more concerned about whether Subaru is her brother Akai or not, since he's using the same &quot;50:50&quot; catchphrase as her brother.<br /> <br /> === Sisters' Birthday Party Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 98|1047]]-[[Volume 99|1050]], Anime: [[The Birthday Party of Divine Punishment|1045-1046]]) ===<br /> Ran, Sonoko, Sera and Conan are invited to sisters' birthday party. During the party, Sera sees Conan carrying a blue and white capsule in his medicine box, and realises that it is an APTX antidote. Sera calls her mother, informing her about the antidote. Her mother orders her to steal it possible. Eventually, a murder takes places, postponing Sera's plan. After the case is solved, Sera managed somehow to steal the medicine box. Sera started to remember her mother's shrinking, which occured at the same time of [[Holmes' Revelation]]'s arc in London. Sera and Mary witnessed Conan calling himself Holmes' apprentice during Minerva's match on TV, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi 10 years ago on the beach. The two realised that Conan is Shinichi, and has a way to return as Shinichi to board a plane to London. Since then, Mary ordered Sera to get closer to him in order to obtain the antidote. Then, Sera opens the medicine box, but realises that the antidote isn't in there, as Conan tricked her by putting it elsewhere, much to Sera's chagrin.<br /> <br /> === Serial Hotel Bombing Case (Manga: [[Volume 103|1094-1096]], Anime: [[The Hotel Serial Bombing Case|1144-1145]]) ===<br /> After luring Conan to their current hotel to get their hands on the APTX antidote, Sera and Mary get involved in the resolution of a serial bombing case. However, they are discovered by a unknown man, who is the driver of an unknown old man, to the hotel and triggers a fire alert, forcing the building's evacuation. As Sera and Mary try to avoid drawing attention to themselves, they are nevertheless spotted by the unknown old man.&lt;ref name=&quot;File 1096&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 103]], [[Volume 103#Serial Hotel Bombing Case|File 1094-1096]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Azusa Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 106#Azusa Kidnapping Case|1126-1128]], Anime: TBA) ===<br /> <br /> === Blackmail Journalist Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 108#Blackmail Journalist Murder Case|1151-1153]], Anime: TBA) ===<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === Dimensional Sniper (Movie: [[Dimensional Sniper|18]]) ===<br /> Sera appeared in this movie as an investigator of the person who had been shot in the Bell Tower. She and Conan helped in chasing the culprit and afterwards was shot by the culprit after saving Conan.<br /> <br /> === The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery (Anime: [[The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery|1002]]) ===<br /> This episode is a pre-story to [[The Scarlet Bullet|Movie 24]]. Sera, Sonoko and Ran suggest to the store association members to use their &quot;garbage takeout bag&quot;, which they agree with.<br /> <br /> === The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===<br /> Masumi appeared in the movie along with her brothers and her mother. She helps Conan and Alan stopped the culprit before the train they are in crash into a nearby train station.<br /> <br /> == Plot Exposition ==<br /> === Hints that Masumi was Shuichi Akai's sister ===<br /> Masumi was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]&lt;ref name=821p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: &quot;Mystery Train (Junction)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and while sleeptalking.&lt;ref name=823p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: &quot;Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|Masumi and Shuichi Akai.]]<br /> * Masumi has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.<br /> * Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] ({{lang|ja|セイラ・マス}}, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Shuichi's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.<br /> * Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. &quot;''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'.

In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago. Another factor is that Sera is part of Ran's class where the age range is 16 - 17 hence Masumi Sera is 16 at the youngest and 17 at most.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | gender = Female<br /> | date-of-birth =<br /> | occupation = Teitan High School Student &lt;br&gt; Detective<br /> | aliases = Masumi Akai (birth name)<br /> | relatives = [[Tsutomu Akai]] (father, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Mary Sera]] (mother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shuichi Akai]] (oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shukichi Haneda]] (second-oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Elena Miyano]] (aunt, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Atsushi Miyano]] (uncle-in-law, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Akemi Miyano]] (cousin, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Shiho Miyano]] (cousin)<br /> | nicknames = Sera-no-nēchan (by Conan)<br /> | status = Alive<br /> | first-appearance = Manga: [[Volume 73|File 768]] &lt;br&gt; Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|Episode 646]]<br /> | appearances = {{:Masumi Sera Appearances}}<br /> | keyhole = [[Volume 73]]<br /> | japanese-voice = [[Noriko Hidaka]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://combination.jp/blog/2012/02/post-383.html|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2012-02-01|title=新しいお仕事 | Blog | コンビネーション|publisher=combination Co.Ltd.|author=Noriko Hidaka}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Jenny Yokobori]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Ghia Burns]] (Macias Group)<br /> | cases-solved = 8<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良 真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone.

She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious.

Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died.

Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show.

I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan.

This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'.

In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago.

She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Masumi doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.<br /> <br /> === EYE (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]]) ===<br /> Conan, Heiji, Masumi, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Masumi takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Masumi is peeved at being left behind.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]]) ===<br /> Masumi is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Masumi thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Masumi asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Masumi isn't seen again for the rest of the case.<br /> <br /> === Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi in her motorcycle.]]<br /> During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]], [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Masumi. Amuro takes interest in Masumi. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Masumi calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Masumi. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Masumi calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Masumi the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.<br /> <br /> Masumi arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Masumi, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Masumi drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Masumi hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera 675.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi looking for Scar Akai.]]<br /> Masumi is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Masumi hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.<br /> <br /> When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]]. Masumi says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan, instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Masumi thinks about that she has known that for a long time.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Masumi sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Masumi had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.<br /> <br /> === Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masome.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi at the campground]]<br /> She went camping when she meets Professor Agasa and Conan. The Detective Boys were lost. Masumi and Conan found the two policemen finding the corpse. After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe. Mitsuhiko pointed the way were their savior went. Masumi then began to ask what kind of woman is their savior. She seemed to be surprised when she saw her on Mitsuhiko's cell phone.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> [[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]<br /> [[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi is revealed to be Shuichi's sister.]]<br /> <br /> === Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]]) ===<br /> Masumi finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Masumi.<br /> <br /> === The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]<br /> Masumi accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show.

Furthermore, Masumi explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone. After successfully investigating the crime scene with Conan, Masumi steps aside with her smartphone and types in the message &quot;It seems like he's also arrived at the truth... But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...&quot;. When the recipient writes back &quot;Who is he? I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Masumi making a call with in File 857.<br /> <br /> === Red Woman Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|872]]-[[Volume 83|875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===<br /> Masumi takes a request from her middle brother to consult in his place about a case involving some of his high school classmates who are now 28-29 years old.

At the hotel, Conan tries to peek in Masumi's bedroom, but Masumi wards him off by embarrassing him. Masumi also asks Conan is she reminds him of someone he met in the past, but Conan draws a blank. A murder interrupts the meeting. While Conan is investigating, he notices the middle-school aged [[Mary|child]] from Masumi's cellphone picture in the gathered crowd. Later, Conan and the gang return to Masumi's room, and Conan hides his glasses earpiece [[microphone]] to spy on the apartment. It is quickly found and destroyed by Masumi and the child after Conan departs with Ran and Sonoko. Masumi asks the child is she is beginning to like him, but the child responds that she is still long way from trusting him.

She follows Conan, Agasa, Ai, and Subaru to the house of an appraiser whom Agasa requested to inspect an antique plate he had found at his late uncle and aunt's estate.

She and Conan helped in chasing the culprit and afterwards was shot by the culprit after saving Conan.<br /> <br /> === The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery (Anime: [[The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery|1002]]) ===<br /> This episode is a pre-story to [[The Scarlet Bullet|Movie 24]]. Sera, Sonoko and Ran suggest to the store association members to use their &quot;garbage takeout bag&quot;, which they agree with.<br /> <br /> === The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===<br /> Masumi appeared in the movie along with her brothers and her mother. She helps Conan and Alan stopped the culprit before the train they are in crash into a nearby train station.<br /> <br /> == Plot Exposition ==<br /> === Hints that Masumi was Shuichi Akai's sister ===<br /> Masumi was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]&lt;ref name=821p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: &quot;Mystery Train (Junction)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and while sleeptalking.&lt;ref name=823p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: &quot;Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|Masumi and Shuichi Akai.]]<br /> * Masumi has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.<br /> * Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] ({{lang|ja|セイラ・マス}}, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Shuichi's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.<br /> * Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. &quot;''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'.

In the top panel it says &quot;10 years ago&quot;. In file 1037 we see Sera wasn't born 17 years ago on the plane [Note: The WSS Version of the file incorrectly stated the events of the flashback occurred 18 years ago, this was corrected to 17 in the volume release] but Mary was clearly pregnant with Sera and even mentions it, this adds on to the previous point meaning Akai hasn't met Sera ever after her birth, which again means sera is 17 at most. We learn when Vermouth and Mary met up on the Vauxhall Bridge [File 1048] that Sera wasn't born during the time Tsutomu went missing and that was 17 years ago. Another factor is that Sera is part of Ran's class where the age range is 16 - 17 hence Masumi Sera is 16 at the youngest and 17 at most.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | gender = Female<br /> | date-of-birth =<br /> | occupation = Teitan High School Student &lt;br&gt; Detective<br /> | aliases = Masumi Akai (birth name)<br /> | relatives = [[Tsutomu Akai]] (father, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Mary Sera]] (mother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shuichi Akai]] (oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Shukichi Haneda]] (second-oldest brother) &lt;br&gt; [[Elena Miyano]] (aunt, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Atsushi Miyano]] (uncle-in-law, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Akemi Miyano]] (cousin, deceased) &lt;br&gt; [[Shiho Miyano]] (cousin)<br /> | nicknames = Sera-no-nēchan (by Conan)<br /> | status = Alive<br /> | first-appearance = Manga: [[Volume 73|File 768]] &lt;br&gt; Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|Episode 646]]<br /> | appearances = {{:Masumi Sera Appearances}}<br /> | keyhole = [[Volume 73]]<br /> | japanese-voice = [[Noriko Hidaka]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://combination.jp/blog/2012/02/post-383.html|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2012-02-01|title=新しいお仕事 | Blog | コンビネーション|publisher=combination Co.Ltd.|author=Noriko Hidaka}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Jenny Yokobori]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Ghia Burns]] (Macias Group)<br /> | cases-solved = 8<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良 真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. Also, she is a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Masumi Sera is a high school detective and the younger sister of [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and shogi player [[Shukichi Haneda]]. She is the only daughter of [[Tsutomu Akai]] and [[Mary]]. 17 years ago, before her father disappeared, he instructed his family to hide in Japan, which is where Masumi later was born. Her oldest brother, prior to her birth, had left Japan to study in the US, so they first got to meet each other when Masumi was about six or seven years old. Although she grew up and attended elementary school in Japan, she moved abroad three years ago with her mother to track down her father. Her other brother stayed in Japan. They recently returned to Japan in order to get the [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] for her mother. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting/Educational Institutions#Teitan High School|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight on the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She suspects Conan is Shinichi and she had in fact met Ran and Shinichi 10 years ago. Currently, she is living with [[Mary]], whom she calls &quot;Mama&quot; privately. She claims that she is provided for by a rich friend of her late father&lt;ref&gt;Vol 83 Chap 876: The Romance Novelist&lt;/ref&gt;, but it hasn't been revealed who it is. Every time they encounter the possibility of the information on Mary getting out, they end up moving to a new hotel under Mary's order. While Masumi is eager to seek help from Conan, Mary is skeptical of him. The three siblings have different last names. Sera is Mary's maiden name.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[File:691-15.png|thumb|200px|Masumi beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]<br /> Masumi has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Masumi fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is &quot;[her] type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns&gt;The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.&lt;/ref&gt; Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Masumi, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.<br /> <br /> Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Masumi seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Masumi is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.<br /> <br /> Although she has crime scene experience&lt;ref name=769p3&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: &quot;A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, Masumi seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Masumi purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.<br /> <br /> Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is &quot;case closed&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sera shows a protective and caring side towards Conan, as seen in the Detectives Nocturne and in the beginning of the Red Woman case when she helps Conan up after falling, as well as having it made clear in the Haunted Hotel case that she was also clearly investigating Conan before they first met, as she knew he was a detective. It’s likely to believe that them being on the same bus was not an accident, which could even lead to be argued that she somehow hinted to them about the cake buffet so they would be on the same bus as her. It is safe to assume though she was, and possibly still is, investigating Conan.<br /> <br /> Sera's way of referring to her parents as 'Mama' and 'Papa' indicates a privileged background.<br /> <br /> Unlike other girls, Masumi don't scream at seeing a dead body.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:Sera transfers.png‎|thumb|200px|Masumi transfers to Teitan High School]]<br /> At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her breasts are rather small. Masumi also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.<br /> <br /> Masumi and her brother Shuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> ==Abilities==<br /> ===Deduction and intelligence===<br /> She seems to have deduction abilities, but her intelligence and crime scene experience are less than both Shinichi and Heiji. Sometimes she jumps on wrong deduction and Shinichi has to correct it, but maybe this wrong deduction was because she wants to test Shinichi. In some cases she calls her second-older brother Shukichi to ask him about case. When a case is over, Masumi always says her catchphrase &quot;Case Closed&quot;, which she seems to got it from her oldest brother Shuichi.<br /> <br /> ===Martial arts===<br /> She is a practitioner of jeet kune do martial art, which she learned from her oldest brother who send videos to her. She still acknowledge her brother to be stronger than herself at least three times. Masumi's martial art skill are strong. She is capable of fighting on same level as Ran and she was able to capture a man with gun at detective agency and was able to defeat a gangster with one strike.<br /> <br /> ===Other skills===<br /> Masumi is skilled at driving a motorcycle and owns an Artesia XT400. She is skilled in Japanese as she knows &quot;jibun&quot; means 'you', not 'I' in Kansai dialect. She also most likely knows English because her mother is British and she went to England.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> {|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:&quot; |<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Masumi}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Sera-san&lt;br&gt;Sera-no-nēchan&lt;br&gt;Sera&lt;br&gt;Sera Masumi&lt;ref name=&quot;file930&quot;&gt;[[Volume 88#A Killer in Ramen Ogura|File 930 (Volume 88)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Shuichi Akai|Akai-san]]'s younger sister (''Akai-san no imōto'')|Conan-kun&lt;br&gt;Edogawa Conan-kun&lt;ref name=&quot;file771&quot;&gt;[[volume 73#Bomber's Request|File 771 (Volume 73)]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy (''Bōya'';

After Sonoko declared Masumi was the groper, Masumi and Ran got into a fight, with Masumi's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Masumi cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Masumi for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Masumi declaring that Ran was &quot;his type&quot;.&lt;ref name=pronouns/&gt; Masumi and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.<br /> <br /> Masumi finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Masumi told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well. She also revealed before she knew Conan's name despite it not being mentioned in front of her, revealing that Masumi has been investigating Conan for awhile now.<br /> <br /> [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Masumi and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Masumi announces that she has solved the case.<br /> <br /> However, Masumi's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Masumi stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.<br /> <br /> The following day, Masumi transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648-650]]) ===<br /> <br /> ==== Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771) ====<br /> According to Sonoko, Masumi has become very popular at Teitan high for being &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, &quot;Let's hear your brilliant deduction!&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Masumi tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but &quot;rebelled&quot; because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Masumi is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind &quot;Sleeping Kogoro&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Masumi's slide kick.png|67kbpx|thumb|left|Masumi sweeps out the culprit ]]<br /> <br /> Just as Masumi is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Masumi sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Masumi leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Masumi. Conan's response is that Masumi is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.<br /> <br /> The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Masumi snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Masumi is with Ran). Masumi then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.<br /> <br /> ==== Nickname Rules (772) ====<br /> Masumi asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Masumi steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Masumi is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Masumi meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.<br /> <br /> ==== Possible Sniping (773) ====<br /> [[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi surprised by Ran's attitude.]]<br /> Masumi explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Masumi is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.<br /> <br /> Masumi launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Masumi's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that &quot;Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Volume 73, File 11, page 13, &quot;Possible Sniping.&quot; Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Masumi wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The book with unturned pages (774) ====<br /> Masumi and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Masumi yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Masumi realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Masumi, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that &quot;due to what just happened, she really gets it&quot;, that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran &quot;is tougher than Masumi thought&quot;. Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.<br /> <br /> === Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ai image.png|thumb|200px|Masumi deletes Haibara's image]]<br /> Masumi stops [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Masumi mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Masumi asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Masumi cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, &quot;And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing...&quot; while looking up at where Subaru is hiding.<br /> <br /> At the end of the case, Masumi is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.<br /> &quot;Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...&quot;, were her words while she was doing it.<br /> <br /> === East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume 74#East vs. West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi thinks about the FBI]]<br /> The case opens with Ran talking to Masumi about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Masumi is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Masumi, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Masumi proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Masumi becomes curious about the foreigner, Camel who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and Masumi takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Masumi looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James think Masumi resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Masumi as female.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Masumi is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Masumi, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Masumi doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.<br /> <br /> === EYE (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]]) ===<br /> Conan, Heiji, Masumi, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Masumi takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Masumi is peeved at being left behind.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]]) ===<br /> Masumi is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Masumi thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Masumi asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Masumi isn't seen again for the rest of the case.<br /> <br /> === Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi in her motorcycle.]]<br /> During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]], [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Masumi. Amuro takes interest in Masumi. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Masumi calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Masumi. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Masumi calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Masumi the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.<br /> <br /> Masumi arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Masumi, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Masumi drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Masumi hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===<br /> [[File:Sera 675.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi looking for Scar Akai.]]<br /> Masumi is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Masumi hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.<br /> <br /> When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]]. Masumi says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan, instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Masumi thinks about that she has known that for a long time.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Masumi sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.<br /> <br /> [[File:690-3.png|thumb|200px|Masumi is shocked to see Subaru]]<br /> === Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]]) ===<br /> Masumi meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Masumi had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.<br /> <br /> === Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===<br /> [[File:Masome.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi at the campground]]<br /> She went camping when she meets Professor Agasa and Conan. The Detective Boys were lost. Masumi and Conan found the two policemen finding the corpse. After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe. Mitsuhiko pointed the way were their savior went. Masumi then began to ask what kind of woman is their savior. She seemed to be surprised when she saw her on Mitsuhiko's cell phone.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> [[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|200px|Masumi leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]<br /> [[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Masumi is revealed to be Shuichi's sister.]]<br /> <br /> === Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]]) ===<br /> Masumi finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Masumi takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, &quot;Masumi&quot;. In her shock Masumi calls him &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, signifying that Shuichi is Masumi's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Masumi.<br /> <br /> === The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]<br /> Masumi accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Masumi asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] pulls Masumi's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Masumi knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Masumi then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Masumi is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Masumi quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Masumi is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Masumi was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Masumi bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Masumi escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Masumi by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Masumi is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.<br /> <br /> === Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled with Fruits|727-728]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]<br /> Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Masumi go to a live cooking show. Conan wants to ask something important to Masumi, but a murder gets in his way. While solving the case, Ran realises that Masumi and her might have met each other before, since Ran thinks of waves in the beach each time Masumi gets away. At the end of the case, Conan asks Masumi if they had met each other before. Masumi smiles and says she doesn´t know, but actually she thinks &quot;Of course we have, but I can’t tell you until the time comes...&quot;<br /> <br /> === Adultery Investigation (Manga: [[Volume 81|856-858]], Anime: [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|740-741]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraCall.png|left|thumb|200px|Masumi is calling her brother on the phone.]]<br /> After being hired by a classmate, Keiko Kitao, Masumi is investigating to see if the boyfriend of Keiko's sister has fully committed to their relationship. However, as the atmosphere is rapidly changed by the murder, Masumi and Conan start to investigate the crime scene. When Conan has finally deduced who the culprit is, he also observes Masumi making a call with someone saying &quot;...Say, my deduction... It's not wrong, is it?&quot;. Upon solving the case, Eri states having seen Masumi talking to her brother on the phone.<br /> <br /> === Meeting Makoto (Manga: [[Volume 81|859-861]], Anime: [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|744-745]]) ===<br /> [[File:SeraAndMakoto.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Masumi attacks Makoto with her Jeet Kune Do.]]<br /> At a Bowling Center with Conan, Ran, Sonoko and Kogoro, Masumi is introduced to Sonoko's boyfriend Makoto. Shortly before, Makoto mistakes Masumi for a stranger being &quot;overly friendly&quot; with Sonoko and tries to fight her. Masumi explains that she has been taught Jeet Kune Do by her older brother, she also reveals that besides her assumingly dead brother, she also has a second-oldest brother. Furthermore, Masumi explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone. After successfully investigating the crime scene with Conan, Masumi steps aside with her smartphone and types in the message &quot;It seems like he's also arrived at the truth... But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...&quot;. When the recipient writes back &quot;Who is he? I'd like an explanation!&quot;, Masumi takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, &quot;If it's him, there's no problem.&quot; reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Masumi making a call with in File 857.<br /> <br /> === Red Woman Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|872]]-[[Volume 83|875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===<br /> Masumi takes a request from her middle brother to consult in his place about a case involving some of his high school classmates who are now 28-29 years old. On the way to a cabin in the woods, Masumi tells Conan and the gang more about her family history and timeline. She reveals that she and her brothers each have different family names for various reasons, one of which is the death of her father. The case takes a dark turn when one of the classmates is found murdered in a bathtub of tomatoes. With the help of the Nagano police, Conan and Masumi manage to solve the case. Later, Masumi asks Conan to find her cellphone in the kitchen by calling it with his. He does so and Conan notices the call background screen is a [[Mary|child who looks like Masumi]] with eye bags similar to those of the [[Akai family]] members. Masumi mentions having a younger sister earlier on (Episode 754), so Conan suspects Masumi was intentionally trying to show him the child for some reason.<br /> <br /> === Romance Novelist Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 83|876]]-[[Volume 83|878]], Anime: [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|759-760]]) ===<br /> On the way home from school, Ran and Sonoko decide to visit Masumi's hotel (which is different from the other one she has been staying at earlier). Masumi claims she had a meeting with her supposedly-hard-to-reach [[Shukichi Haneda|middle brother]] planned, so she texts him to reschedule. Conan seems to notice this contradiction. At the hotel, Conan tries to peek in Masumi's bedroom, but Masumi wards him off by embarrassing him. Masumi also asks Conan is she reminds him of someone he met in the past, but Conan draws a blank. A murder interrupts the meeting. While Conan is investigating, he notices the middle-school aged [[Mary|child]] from Masumi's cellphone picture in the gathered crowd. Later, Conan and the gang return to Masumi's room, and Conan hides his glasses earpiece [[microphone]] to spy on the apartment. It is quickly found and destroyed by Masumi and the child after Conan departs with Ran and Sonoko. Masumi asks the child is she is beginning to like him, but the child responds that she is still long way from trusting him. The child asks Masumi to tell Conan she is her little sister from outside the territory if he asks about her. Masumi doesn't mention that she showed Conan the child's picture.<br /> <br /> === Shogi Tournament (Manga: [[Volume 85|899-902]], Anime: [[Taiko Meijin's Match of Love|785-786]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera invites Conan over to her new hotel to visit, but Conan says that he can't come.

At the end of the case the young girl has woken up, and is happy about the game's conclusion.<br /> <br /> === Poolside Case (Manga: [[Volume 85|903]]-[[Volume 86|903-905]], Anime: [[The Mystery Sinking in the Midsummer Pool|787-788]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera invites Conan over so that the child from Masumi's phone knows that he can be trusted, indicating that if he can't, they'll have to find a new living quarters.

The three teenage girls and Conan plan to hang out at the hotel's pool, but get interrupted by an emergency accompanied by a case. Sera and Conan solve the case together. At the end of the case Ran realizes that she recognizes Sera and her &quot;little sister&quot; from somewhere, but can't quite recall where.<br /> <br /> === Ran &amp; Shinichi - First Contact (Manga: [[Volume 87#Ran &amp; Shinichi - First Contact|921-924]], Anime: [[Memories from Sakura Class|853-854]]) ===<br /> <br /> Sera, Sonoko and Ran are all walking in the cherry blossoms when Ran remembers when she first met Shinichi.

Four years ago, Masumi was taught a few notes on the base guitar by a friend of her brother, [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]]. The friend was referred to as &quot;[[Scotch]]&quot; by another person who Masumi thinks looks like [[Rei Furuya|Rei]]. She helps solve the murder case the group runs into, and mentions that she was inspired by her oldest brother into becoming a detective.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|863-864]]) ===<br /> <br /> Masumi and Mary has moved into another hotel, where a murder takes place next door.

A case occurs, which involved the method of counting fingers in different countries. Masumi seems to count the same way that is used in the UK, but seems to think that it is the way it is done in the US. As Conan corrects her, she seems confused. Conan thinks back on all of the times that Masumi has done things that seem to imply that she was in the UK rather than the US and he finally remembers the events of 10 years ago by repeating イギリス (Igirisu / Britain) in is head.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> === A Chance Meeting at the Beach (Manga: [[Volume 92#A Chance Meeting at the Beach|972-974]], Anime: [[The Wizard of the Ripples|881-882]]) ===<br /> The history between Shinichi, Ran and Masumi as children is explored.<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;[[File:Mary Masumi Shuichi at beach.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A flashback to 10 years ago at the beach.]]<br /> 10 years ago, Masumi, along with her mother Mary and brothers Shukichi Haneda and Shuichi Akai encounter Shinichi, who is playing detective, and Ran at a beach.

With hints and intelligence of both Shuichi, Shinichi and his father, Yusaku, they are able to solve the case.<br /> <br /> In the end, Masumi calls Shinichi a 'magician'. Though it may be thought that it was because Shinichi was able to humor a rather serious person, Shuichi Akai; it is not the reason behind Masumi calling him 'magician'.<br /> &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> Many important historical events relating to the Akai family, Shuichi Akai and his commitment to find his father's killer and the character of Tsutomu Akai is explored in this episode/chapter.<br /> <br /> === Café Rice Flower Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 94#Café Rice Flower Murder Case|994-996]], Anime:[[The High School Girl Trio's Secret Café|919-920]]) ===<br /> Masumi and Sonoko meets up with Ran in a café to discuss details of the school field trip to Kyoto and happen upon a murder.

She follows Conan, Agasa, Ai, and Subaru to the house of an appraiser whom Agasa requested to inspect an antique plate he had found at his late uncle and aunt's estate.

However, Subaru ended up interrupting Sera's investigation, which irritated Sera and tried to kick him. Subaru easily dodged the kick and told Sera that the division of fault is &quot;50:50&quot;; saying that he might be at fault for irritating her, but she is also at fault for trying to kick him, which surprised Sera.<br /> After the case, Sera asks her mother about her &quot;50:50&quot; catchphrase, Mary revealed that it is a line that her husband used to say and that her son Shuichi inherited it from him. Mary asks Sera if she can get her hands on the drug, Sera tells her that it is difficult for the moment since Subaru Okiya is standing in her way. Mary asks her if he is such a noteworthy person, however, Sera is more concerned about whether Subaru is her brother Akai or not, since he's using the same &quot;50:50&quot; catchphrase as her brother.<br /> <br /> === Sisters' Birthday Party Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 98|1047]]-[[Volume 99|1050]], Anime: [[The Birthday Party of Divine Punishment|1045-1046]]) ===<br /> Ran, Sonoko, Sera and Conan are invited to sisters' birthday party.

Sera started to remember her mother's shrinking, which occured at the same time of [[Holmes' Revelation]]'s arc in London. Sera and Mary witnessed Conan calling himself Holmes' apprentice during Minerva's match on TV, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi 10 years ago on the beach. The two realised that Conan is Shinichi, and has a way to return as Shinichi to board a plane to London. Since then, Mary ordered Sera to get closer to him in order to obtain the antidote. Then, Sera opens the medicine box, but realises that the antidote isn't in there, as Conan tricked her by putting it elsewhere, much to Sera's chagrin.<br /> <br /> === Serial Hotel Bombing Case (Manga: [[Volume 103|1094-1096]], Anime: [[The Hotel Serial Bombing Case|1144-1145]]) ===<br /> After luring Conan to their current hotel to get their hands on the APTX antidote, Sera and Mary get involved in the resolution of a serial bombing case.

She and Conan helped in chasing the culprit and afterwards was shot by the culprit after saving Conan.<br /> <br /> === The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery (Anime: [[The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery|1002]]) ===<br /> This episode is a pre-story to [[The Scarlet Bullet|Movie 24]]. Sera, Sonoko and Ran suggest to the store association members to use their &quot;garbage takeout bag&quot;, which they agree with.<br /> <br /> === The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===<br /> Masumi appeared in the movie along with her brothers and her mother. She helps Conan and Alan stopped the culprit before the train they are in crash into a nearby train station.<br /> <br /> == Plot Exposition ==<br /> === Hints that Masumi was Shuichi Akai's sister ===<br /> Masumi was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]&lt;ref name=821p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: &quot;Mystery Train (Junction)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and while sleeptalking.&lt;ref name=823p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: &quot;Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|Masumi and Shuichi Akai.]]<br /> * Masumi has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.<br /> * Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] ({{lang|ja|セイラ・マス}}, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Shuichi's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.<br /> * Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. &quot;''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James was the first to recognize that Masumi was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Shuichi's boss, he would most likely know that Shuichi has a younger sister and what she would look like.<br /> * Masumi lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Shuichi was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Shuichi's mission.<br /> * In chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;.<br /> * In chapter 859, Masumi, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: &quot;But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?&quot; This leads to Masumi remarking &quot;Yeah... That's what I heard.&quot; also further supporting the theory that Masumi is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.<br /> * In episode 881, Shukichi calls Masumi's oldest brother as &quot;Shuichi&quot; and Shuichi also tells Mary that he is planning to join FBI.<br /> <br /> === Hints that Masumi was not Bourbon ===<br /> * In Chapter 801, Masumi chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen &quot;someone she knew&quot;. She then thinks there is &quot;no way it was possible&quot; regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Shuichi was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Shuichi, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Shuichi again in the street.<br /> === Hints that Masumi met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi ===<br /> [[File:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|200px|Masumi mentioning Conan's name.]]<br /> * Masumi knew [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. She also knew that Conan is a detective.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 6 (768)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi seems to know that Conan is the brains behind Sleeping Kogoro. Conan seems to think that he may have met Masumi before or that she resembles someone that he knows. He believes that she got the deduction of a case wrong just so that he would reveal himself.&lt;ref&gt; [[Volume 73]], File 9 (771)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Conan realizes he met Masumi before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,&lt;ref name=845p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: &quot;Our Territory&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until &quot;the time&quot; comes.&lt;ref name=846p16&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Ran has met Masumi as well because Masumi's figure as she runs away reminds her of &quot;sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work.&quot;&lt;ref name=846p4&gt;Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: &quot;The Magic Lock&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi, asks Conan if he once met a girl &quot;a long time ago and could never forget [her]&quot;&lt;ref name=876p11&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: &quot;The Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that.<br /> * Ran has a flashback to when she saw a younger Masumi, who is wearing a bathing suit, say, &quot;You are a wizard, right?&quot;. Ran also feels that she has met [[Mary]].&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The meeting occurred 10 years ago, as mentioned by Mary.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 90]], File 5 (953)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Masumi puts on a swimsuit similar to the one in Ran's flashback in order to jog Conan's memory, which results in him remembering her in that bathing suit as well, along as three other people, assumed to be her relatives.&lt;ref&gt; Manga [[Volume 91]], File 11 (969)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him &quot;Professor what's his name&quot;. Although this could be explained away as her talking to Conan off screen and her just not remembering Agasa's name.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Friends and family ===<br /> ==== Shuichi Akai ====<br /> [[Shuichi Akai]] is Masumi's older brother. She didn't get to meet him until she was six-seven years old, because Shuichi went to study abroad before Masumi was born. At first meeting she was very shy, but she did make some pranks in attempt to make him smile. Masumi refers to Shuichi as &quot;Shu-nii&quot;, implying that they were close. Masumi seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Masumi is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same &quot;feel&quot; as Shuichi's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-Kune-Do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.&lt;ref name=&quot;876p2&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: &quot;Romance Novelist&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;859p6-7&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: &quot;Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> [[File:EP671-674 25.png|thumb|right|200px|Masumi hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]<br /> Masumi is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at several points questions her if they've met before, but she denies this, once secretly thinking, &quot;Now's not the time&quot;. The period in which such an encounter could have taken place is initially hinted to be somewhere before the three-year span of Masumi's sojourn in the United States, when she was in her preteen years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang83&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 7-8: &quot;Red Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 86]], File 1 (905): &quot;The Truth Rises to the Surface&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> It is later shown that she had met Conan/Shinichi ten years ago, when the Akai family had gathered on an undisclosed beach in Japan prior to Shuichi Akai joining the FBI. By chance, Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had also vacationed there, and they all ended up as witnesses and investigators in a gone-awry flight attempt from a robbery. When Shinichi managed to make Shuichi laugh (something Masumi had miserably failed to achieve) with his intelligence, observation skills and some unintended jokes, Masumi, in her admiration for Shinichi, began to call him &quot;wizard&quot;. It is quite possible that this meeting inspired Masumi to become a detective herself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;Manga [[Volume 92]], File 2-4 (972-974): &quot;A Chance Meeting at the Beach&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> When Masumi lives in England, she saw the tennis match from the [[Holmes' Revelation|London case]] on TV and recognized Conan as Shinichi based on his proclamation as 'Holmes' apprentice' (same as Shinichi proclaim himself to Shuichi ten years ago). After that, she start return to Japan to meet Conan.&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|Online Client Case]], Masumi has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere &quot;big sister&quot; relationship.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - &quot;When Objects Collide&quot;; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - &quot;Bourbon&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; In fact, it is hinted during the [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion|Romance Novelist murder]] and in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'' that she may actually be entertaining a crush on Shinichi/Conan and hopes of initiating a closer relationship with him. However, the actual level of her feelings for him is yet to be publicly revealed, and it doesn't appear like she has anything against Ran and Shinichi's relationship.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> Masumi has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] and has been secretly gathering information on her, mainly because she has begun to suspect that Haibara is the inventor of the [[APTX]], which Mary wishes to acquire for her re-transformation.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 95#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 95, chapter 1005: &quot;Crimson School Trip Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ch1025&quot;&gt;[[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|Manga volume 96, chapter 1025: &quot;TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case&quot;]]&lt;/ref&gt;. She also seemed to have recognized [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels unnverved by Masumi, mainly by the latter's close interest in her and her pestering allusions, fearing for the safety of her identity.&lt;ref&gt;[[Volume 98#Antique Facet Case|Manga chapters 1035-1036]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Ran Mouri ====<br /> [[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Masumi hurried away]]<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Masumi has also declared Ran as &quot;her type&quot; when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Masumi for a boy.<br /> <br /> At one point, Ran recalls having met Masumi before in the past, hearing the sound of &quot;rippling waves&quot; when the she sees the latter leaving, &quot;as if some sort of magic were at work&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang86&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It is revealed in a later story that she and Masumi had actually met 10 years before, when they were both still children, on a beach, where by happenstance she, Shinichi and the Akai family inadvertently became embroiled in the aftermath of a crime (see '''Conan Edogawa''', above).&lt;ref name=&quot;Mang92&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br /> Since enrolling at Teitan High, Masumi and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Masumi as a popular girl who is &quot;cheery, sociable, boyish and cute&quot; and on top of that, a &quot;Jeet Kune Do using detective&quot;, though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing &quot;against Sera&quot; is her flat chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br /> [[Shukichi Haneda]] is Masumi's middle brother. Masumi appears to have a good relationship with him. Unlike Shuichi, they were close during her childhood. She often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Shuichi as &quot;strong&quot; in contrast to her second older-brother. However, Masumi doesn't know anything about Shukichi's Shogi skills or what he has been up to. She has no idea where he is living.<br /> <br /> ==== Tsutomu Akai ====<br /> Masumi's father was missing before she was born, so she never knew him. But she refer to him as 'Papa'.<br /> <br /> ==== Mary Sera ====<br /> [[Mary Sera|Mary]] seems very mature and cold while talking to Masumi. She also treats her more like a coworker than her daughter, as she always advises her what to do and switch hotels if any intel about Mary is leaked. She is also somehow stubborn as she declined Masumi's trust in Conan despite the latter's motive and pursuit of justice are geniune.<br /> <br /> ==== Miyano Family ====<br /> In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Masumi is blood relatives with [[Miyano family]].<br /> <br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Rei Furuya ====<br /> Rei first saw Masumi in Detectives Nocturne case and seemed to recognise her. They formally met in [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Girls Band Case]] at [[Café Poirot]]. Masumi felt like having met him and even asked him directly about that, but Rei said that was the first time they met. When Masumi talked about a friend of her brother who taught her play the guitar, Rei also seemed to know about that incident. In Masumi's flashback of that friend, a man who looked very much like Rei appeared, and Masumi once again wondered about it, to which Rei replied that she took the wrong person.<br /> <br /> ==== Scotch ====<br /> Sera recalled meeting Scotch 4 years ago. That was when Scotch was with Akai and Rei in a train station. Sera also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Sera is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance, but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not the real name.<br /> <br /> ==Speculation==<br /> === Masumi learned about Haibara from Shuichi's picture ===<br /> Masumi initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Masumi doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Masumi may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Shuichi took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Shuichi mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Shuichi 's things to his family. If Masumi was interested in finding out how and why Shuichi died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Sera Kick.png<br /> File:Sera slide kick.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> * In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

Note that &quot;Artesia&quot; is another name for '''Sayla Mass'''.&lt;/ref&gt; The kanji for Masumi's surname means 'good world'.

Almost as if on cue, an old classmate stops by to check on Shinichi's well-being, then joins the group in their cleaning: her name is Asami Uchida, she used to be the student council president of [[Setting#Teitan Middle School|Teitan Middle School]] when Ran Sonoko and Shinichi were in the Grade 7 and she now attends a local art-centered university as a literature major.<br /> <br /> While helping Conan and the girls with their work, Asami mentions that she'll throw her birthday party in a nearby bungalow that she and her friends rented specially for the event. She had come to personally invite Shinichi, however, and drops hints about a love confession that he might have given her four years ago. Sonoko mentions rumors about a younger student stalking Asami in these days, and Ran concludes that Asami was Shinichi's first love. Sonoko manages to rope Asami into inviting them as well, and Kogoro agrees to go there, once he learns one of the people has been a three time beauty contest winner. <br /> <br /> The party starts normally, with the additional perk that it's also a celebration for Asami winning a literary prize, a tennis tournament ''and'' a beauty contest, and everyone seems to have quite a good time. A pretty girl named Tomoko Hayasaka teases the handsome Manabu Sawai about being a playboy, but he ignores it and focuses on complimenting Kogoro for having a way with words. Around the same time the older students Yoshinobu Morimoto, Chika Miyazaki and Shigehisa Noguchi mention Asami's accomplishments: she defeated Morimoto in the literary contest, Chika was just a runner-up for the beauty one that she won, ''and'' she was a part of the couple that won a mixed tennis tournament that Noguchi participated in as well.<br /> <br /> In the meantime, Ran and Asami are baking Asami's trademark recipe: lemon pie. Asami forgot to bring the one she already baked. The pie itself looks messy since Ran had never baked any pies, but it actually tastes good; Asami says what matters is what's on the inside, rather than how it looks.<br /> <br /> The party goes on well, and the bungalow's fax machine gets a fax from one of Asami's professors, wishing her a happy birthday. Asami herself, however, is feeling like crap all of a sudden so she's taking a nap. Sawai and mentions a nearby karaoke parlor where they already booked a room, saying they should let Asami sleep and go there for a while.<br /> <br /> As everyone has fun, Sonoko notices Ran is rather mopey instead. She mentions how Asami is sweet, gorgeous, smart, once was the manager of the school's soccer club that Shinichi was a member of, and looks like she's super perfect, so she guesses that Shinichi admires Asami quite a bit and correctly deduced that Ran is feeling inferior to her. Ran mentions that Asami said Shinichi likes lemon pie a lot and offered to teach her (Ran) the recipe, and confirms that she feels like she can't compare to Asami. Sonoko tries to cheer her up by saying Asami is herself and so is Ran, so she shouldn't bring herself down.<br /> <br /> Around 3 AM, the group starts getting ready to return to the rented bungalow nevermind one or two problems: like Noguchi being drunk, Sawai taking too much time to bring cigarettes or Kogoro being for too long in the restroom. They decide to go back and then go to bed so they can clean up in the morning, but then they look through the window and the bungalow ''is on fire''. Kogoro and Sawai immediately look for the keys to the rental car they have handy, so they can go there and rescue her.<br /> <br /> When the group arrives, the bungalow's completely surrounded by fire, so much that it almost pours from the windows and even the doors. Ran, who was praying for Asami's safety in their way there, sees Chika trying to move a nearby motorcycle and has an idea: she puts on the moto's driving helmet, goes inside followed by Conan, kicks the door to the nearby open and rescues Asami.<br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Attempted Suicide?<br /> | image = EP100-101 Case.jpg<br /> | location = Bungalow <br /> | victim = Asami Uchida<br /> | age = 18 years old<br /> | time =<br /> | cause-death = Burnt alive<br /> | cause-death-label = Cause <br /> | suspects = Manabu Sawai, Tomoko Hayasaka, Shigehisa Noguchi, Chika Miyazaki, and Yoshinobu Morimoto<br /> | description = Ran and Conan find Asami lying on the floor of the living room with no burn marks, which means she is safe and sound. But this is odd, since when the group left, she was lying on a couch. Is this all an accident, did Asami either try to commit suicide or call the others's attention via faking a life-or-death incident, or is something sinister in the works?<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> Ran passes out almost immediately after rescuing Asami, both from the smoke inhalation and the huge effort. She wakes up in the nearby hospital and is fine, but Asami is still unconscious. She tells Sonoko that the helmet idea came from Conan, who gave it to her so she'd have extra protection, and mentions that he did something incredible.<br /> <br /> Conan, Kogoro and the birthday guests are back to what remains of the bungalow and gather information. The fire began at 2:50 AM, at the living room, and was apparently caused by the b-day people's carelessness: Asami's birthday cake was left with its candles burning, they fell on the floor and the gift-wrapping papers, which triggered the fire itself and spreads it all around. Kogoro doesn't really believe this, and he wonders if Asami herself set the fire.<br /> <br /> At the hospital, Sonoko tells Ran that when she was brought to the hospital, Asami was calling out to Shinichi and apologizing to him in whispers. They decide to go get some drinks and take a break, unaware of how Asami awakens once they leave.<br /> <br /> Conan hears what Kogoro says and is troubled by several details. He's sure that Asami was lying on the couch when they left, but she was on the floor when he and Ran found her; additionally, several furniture pieces were in different spots. He wonders if Morimoto, who had the key to the house, set the place on fire, but decides against it since the fire began at 2:50 AM so he couldn't have had enough time ''and'' the window was open so the key wasn't needed. He also wonders about Noguchi (he had the car keys) and Chika (who has a bike), since there was some time when everyone was out of the karaoke parlor, but decides against it too: he couldn't have enough time, and her bike was already parked. Also, the policemen haven't found any specific things that could have been used to set the fire from a distance.<br /> <br /> Conan wonders if Asami ''did'' truly set the fire, whether to kill herself or get attention. One of the firemen tells Conan not to stay too close to the burned remains and hands him two sheets of paper, apparently coming from the fax machine. Then Conan checks on the sheets and realizes that they were from two different faxes. The firemen also tell Conan that the cake was placed right under the fax machine. <br /> <br /> Ran and Sonoko are still in the hospital, commenting how Asami switched from the tennis to the soccer club despite her natural tennis talent. Then they find out that Asami has disappeared. Around the same time, Conan snoops around the nearby store and finds out that Tomoko, Sawai and the already drunk Noguchi were around, and one of them may have something to do with the incident. It is here where the gas station manager tells Conan that Sawai had attempted to put a piece of sticky paper into the fax machine and then &quot;send it backwards&quot;. After realizing that Asami had disappeared, Ran and Sonoko call Mouri. With everyone gathered around, Conan tranquilizes Mouri and begins his deduction.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Asami Uchida|Asami Uchida.jpg|fsize=9px|<br /> * Victim (burned-injured)<br /> * 18 years old<br /> * Freshman, Literature Department Tohto University}}<br /> {{People|Manabu Sawai|Manabu Sawai.jpg|fsize=0.94em|<br /> * 22 years old<br /> * Senior, Tohto University, Literature Dept.<br /> * Mystery club president}}<br /> {{People|Tomoko Hayasaka|Tomoko Hayasaka.jpg|fsize=0.87em|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> * Senior, Tohto University, Literature Dept.<br /> * Mystery club vice-president}}<br /> {{People|Shigehisa Noguchi|Shigehisa Noguchi.jpg|<br /> * 20 years old<br /> * Sophomore, Tohto University, Literature Dept.}}<br /> {{People|Chika Miyazaki|Chika Miyazaki.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Sophomore, Tohto University, Literature Dept.}}<br /> {{People|Yoshinobu Morimoto|Yoshinobu Morimoto.jpg|<br /> * 22 years old<br /> * Junior, Tohto University, Literature Dept.}}<br /> {{People|Fireman A|EP100 Fireman.jpg|<br /> * Fireman}}<br /> {{People|Fireman B|EP101 Fireman.jpg|<br /> * Fireman}}<br /> {{People|Fireman C|EP101 Fireman2.jpg|<br /> * Fireman<br /> * Debris cleaning staff}}<br /> {{People|Fireman D|EP101 Fireman3.jpg|<br /> * Fireman<br /> * Debris cleaning staff}}<br /> {{People|Man|EP101 Manager.jpg|<br /> * Sunday Mart convenience store manager}}<br /> {{People|Masao Takamura|No face.jpg|<br /> * Tohto University, Literature Dept. professor<br /> * Asami's supervisor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Having realized the truth, Conan heads back to the villa. Ran and Sonoko have told Kogoro about Asami's disappearance, and he believes she may attempt to kill herself again. However, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal the truth.<br /> <br /> === Evidence ===<br /> '''Manabu Sawai''' is the culprit. He set up the birthday cake with lit candles on a chair below the fax machine and sent a fax from a convenience store while pretending to use the phone, so the received fax caught fire as soon as the paper sheets touched the still-lit candles. To make sure this would happen, he sent ''several'' faxes and tested this method to be sure it would work. It's demonstrated when Conan through Kogoro tells the firemen to set up a similar trick in what remains of the house, effectively showing how easy it was for Sawai to set everything on fire without being there.<br /> <br /> *He adds that when everyone was getting ready to leave to the karaoke box, Sawai took the &quot;time out&quot; to rearrange the furniture and place the sleeping Asami, whom he surely drugged with pills, on the floor so she wouldn't get burned.<br /> <br /> *The owner of the shop saw Sawai using the fax machine when everyone else was singing in the parlor; then Conan appears holding two pieces of burned paper and showing them as proof as they do not match each other meaning they came from two different pieces of paper. The confirmation paper coming from the fax machine also holds info about Sawai's presence, like his phone name and fingerprints. Also Sawai had problems handling the fax machine itself so he had to use the birthday fax from Asami's professor as a test and the shop owner recalled his odd behavior.<br /> <br /> Sawai angrily retorts all of this and asks for ''real'' proof.<br /> <br /> *When the group arrived and they suggested to call Asami to see if she was okay, Sawai openly said the phone itself would be gone. <br /> *The prof's fax, still smeared with cream, which Sawai probably kept in his pocket.<br /> <br /> === Conclusion === <br /> '''Manabu Sawai''' is the culprit. Chika and Noguchi openly wonder why Sawai would have wanted to kill Asami, but Conan through Kogoro says he never wanted to ''kill'' her and adds he wanted to ''save'' her, to be her &quot;knight in shining armor&quot; who would win her affections after rescuing her from mortal danger.<br /> <br /> === Motive ===<br /> One of the firemen approaches Sawai and he tells him to stop, then pulls out the the fax paper and admits what he did, saying that he never expected the fire to spread as fast as he did. His motive was, effectively, to save Asami's life and thus catch her attention and gratitude, after having been rejected by her the previous month. Up until then, no girl had ever refused the handsome and charming Sawai's affections, so he was shell-shocked and wanted her to love him. However, Conan through Kogoro angrily calls Sawai out, stating that Asami would've died had they not made it back to the villa in time due to a potential traffic jam, car breakdown, or flat tire. He further states that if Sawai really wanted Asami to love him, then he should do something honorable and worth her affection rather than putting her in mortal danger and potentially killing her.<br /> <br /> Asami appears on the doorstep right as Sawai surrenders peacefully. Sawai tells her she's such a beautiful and perfect girl, that she can have any man at her feet. She, however, replies that things don't work that way: if someone's heart won't open to someone else, then there's no way to force them to do so.<br /> <br /> === Aftermath ===<br /> Later, a more cheerful Asami reveals to Ran and Sonoko that she was bluffing when she said she was Shinichi's first love. In reality he was ''her'' first love: she wasn't immediately attracted to him from the start, but came to like him for his talent and for his blunt approach to things - she once baked a ''terrible'' lemon pie for her tennis and soccer club friends, and he was the only person who told her it wasn't tasty, so she baked and baked until she made one he actually liked. She adds that she taught Ran a ''bad'' lemon pie recipe on a whim, but Ran was still skilled enough at baking to make it edible, and that she wanted to invite Shinichi to the party to get back at him for all the times he told her the pie sucked.<br /> <br /> Asami then explains what ''actually'' happened when she confessed to Shinichi, much to Conan's embarrassment (and Sonoko has to gag him with her hands). She says Shinichi rejected her affections, yes, but that he also shyly explained why he couldn't go out with her: he already had a girl he liked, a girl he's &quot;known from childhood&quot; and who's &quot;strong, stubborn, yet also gentle and kind of a crybaby&quot;. Sonoko joyfully shouts that the girl must be Ran, but she's oblivious.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Manga to anime changes ==<br /> {{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * In the anime, when Sawai admits that he didn't think the fire would expand as quick as it did, Conan gets so angry that through Kogoro, he calls him on how selfish he has been: had the group been late for less than two minutes, Asami ''would'' have burned or asphyxiated to death, and Sawai never thought of it since he was that wrapped in his own feelings. He adds that if Sawai ''actually'' wanted to be loved by Asami, he should've simply stuck to become an honorable guy that she would've admired and come to love.<br /> &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> * In the anime, the professor who sent the fax to Asami was named Masao Takamura, whereas in the manga, the professor was called Hideo Takamura.<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:<br /> :* Asami Uchida - Annette Peters<br /> :* Manabu Sawai - Damon<br /> :* Tomoko Hayasaka - Tammy<br /> :* Shigehisa Noguchi - Nory<br /> :* Chika Miyazaki - Cherie<br /> :* Yoshinobu Morimoto - Mark<br /> <br /> == Remastered version ==<br /> * A remastered version of this case was aired August 20, 2016 and August 27, 2016.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Nazo can be heard playing in a jukebox.<br /> * Although Conan may not want to take part in cleaning his own house, he said that &quot;if it is not cleaned, it'll turn into a haunted house&quot;, making a reference to [[A Haunted Mansion Murder Case]], when the [[Detective Boys]] said that the Kudo House was a haunted house.<br /> * Asami Uchida claims to always get Shinichi's answering machine when she calls, although in [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper]] all Kudo House calls would be rerouted to Agasa's house.<br /> * Asami Uchida may not have known at first, but she deduced from this case that Ran must be the one that Shinichi has been in love with since he was little, just based on his vague description of her, however Ran still has no idea that he was describing her.<br /> * Shigehisa's (茂久) name is wrongly written as Shibahisa (芝久) in his introductory suspects' box.<br /> * Chika Miyazaki's motorbike is a 1998 Honda Global.<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> === Part 1 ===<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|1|運命のルーレット廻して|Unmei no Roulette Mawashite|Spinning the Roulette of Destiny|[[Unmei no Roulette Mawashite]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|2|蘭のテーマ （摩天楼ヴァージョン）|Ran no Tēma (Mantenrō Vājon)|Ran's Theme (Skyscraper ver.)|[[Detective Conan &quot;The Time-Bombed Skyscraper&quot;

Finally, the cooking class teacher Michi Uemori shows up. Conan, Ran, and Kogoro learn everyone seems to have something against the instructor, who is also a very unpleasant person.

Kazue Yashiro, because 27 years ago Michi Uemori stole her then-boyfriend and married him without any regards to their friendship; Kaoru Uemori, because her abusive husband Tatsuhiko (her eyepatch covered a black eye from him during their fight) is son of Michi Uemori, and Uemori kept backing him up; Yuko Komiyama, because Uemori stole hers original recipes to make them pass as her own in her next cooking book; Hiroaki Nishitani, because Uemori wanted to cut off financial support and founded someone else with more talent, thus resulting in him having to give up his dream to open his own restaurant. The killer was actually '''Hiroaki Nishitani''', but his reason was that he felt bad that Yuko's recipes were being stolen, because he is in love with Yuko. <br /> <br /> Before arriving to the class he snuck through the back entrance to set up a block of ice under the breaker, along with a wire attached to a ring and large weight. When the ice melted, the weight would go down and as a result the wire connected to the ring would pull on the breaker switch. During waiting period he went to the bathroom where he put on special contact lenses, tinted contact lenses that kept his pupils shielded from the light, but in dark it decreased his vision, resulting in him running into Ran and thinking that it was Yuko. Lenses were found in mixing bowl and they container was found outside of bathroom.<br /> <br /> Once the trick to turn off the lights had darkened the entire house, removed his contact lenses, he opened the sliding door, and he taken out the sewing needle and swiftly pierced Uemori's lung with it.

Conan is left shocked, but then surprised as Ran remains conscious; the dart had hit the keychain in her back pocket. Conan attempts to get the dart back, but instead accidently grabbed her rear. Ran reflexively struck with a mighty karate kick in defense; she believed a pervert was after her. Luckily, Ran misses Conan's small form and instead kicked Kogoro's head into the beam he was resting against; this knocks him out successfully, allowing Conan to use his voice-changing bow tie to reveal what had happened.<br /> <br /> Conan reveals that Tequila and Hideaki Nakajima, one of the game designers, secretly exchanged suitcases. Conan reveals that the bomber is game designer '''Hironobu Takeshita''' and that Nakajima was his intended target. As evidence, Conan reveals that Nakajima's suitcase's key would fit into the suitcase Takeshita is holding since that is originally Nakajima's suitcase. The mix-up happened due to the fact that Takeshita had switched the numbers before Nakajima made the exchange with the victim. As a result the suitcase with the bomb was given to Tequila instead. Takeshita confesses and denounces Nakajima for leading '''Yoshimi''' (their university boxing club manager who had dated Takeshita and Nakajima afterwards) to suicide when he dumped her.<br /> <br /> Further evidence is the number of the hotel keys; Kogoro's is 96 while Ran's is 100. Hironobu feared his plan would fall apart if the number he and his victim had were too different; he convinced his co-workers to cut in front of Ran to ensure all three had a number in the 90s. Another piece of evidence is the fact that Conan as Kogoro instructed Megure to check Nakajima’s suitcase, thinking that he had the case with the bomb Hironobu braced himself. But in the suitcase was only money Nakajima had recieved from tequilla, which proves his guilt as he believed that the bomb he planted in his suitcase was going to explode.<br /> <br /> Conan asks Nakajima what he knows about Tequila's acquaintances only to learn that he always meets them in the [[Setting|&quot;Cocktail&quot; bar at the Daikoku building]].&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.megane-shufu.com/conan-boss Someone noticed] that this is also the surname of a guest appeared in [[And Then There Were No Mermaids#Trivia|And Then There Were No Mermaids]].&lt;/ref&gt; Conan heads there only to find out Gin and Vodka had caused an explosion to hide evidence of them being there.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Bombing<br /> | image = EP54 Case 2.jpg<br /> | location = &quot;Cocktail&quot; bar at the Daikoku building<br /> | cause-death = Explosion<br /> | cause-death-label = Cause<br /> | suspects = Black Organization<br /> | description = When Conan arrived a bomb went off in the building due to organization attempting to cover their tracks.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> After the explosion, Conan afterwards learns that Nakajima was selling a list of top computer programmers to Tequila.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Continuity error ==<br /> By the time that this story was told in the manga, Conan had a second encounter with Gin and Vodka (learning their names in the process), as well as learning about the [[Black Organization|organization]]. In the anime, however, [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]] and [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] omitted ties to The Organization and its members. Thus Conan at this point in the anime shouldn't know the names of the men who shrank him, or their organization. Funimation fixes this problem in English dub of [[Diplomat Murder Case]], where [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] hints at the names of both Gin and Vodka. This makes it plausible for Conan to recall their names in this episode.<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:<br /> :* Hideaki Nakajima - Henry Nelbit<br /> :* Koji Ueda - Kelvin Tug<br /> :* Hironobu Takeshita - Charles Shore<br /> :* Ishikawa - George Fuman<br /> :* Yoshimi - Bonnie Shore<br /> :* Daikoku Building - Apollo Building<br /> <br /> ::* Bonnie Shore's fate is ambiguous in the dub instead of committing suicide, which also changed her relationship with Charles Shore as ex-wife after they divorced when Charles found out she had an affair with Henry Nelbit, according to Kelvin. It could be implied that Bonnie might've went on her own path after she and Charles divorced.<br /> <br /> ==== Error ====<br /> Conan upon hearing Kogoro mentioning having some Gin and Vodka, recalls that Heiji Hattori telling him that the two men in black who he met went by the name of Gin and Vodka. In the Japanese Version, he merely recalls that those were the two men responsible for his condition, however he should still not know their names, since he never learned their names at all.<br /> <br /> This particular error originated in the Dub for Diplomat Murder Case. Presumably, this was done as a means of explaining how Conan knows the codename of the two men due to their omission in several episodes, but Heiji wouldn't discover Conan's secret until [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]].<br /> <br /> === Manga ===<br /> * Due to Viz Media originally referring to Gin and Vodka as Kaspar and Melkior ([[volume 4]]), their translation of this story in [[volume 12]] has Conan's recollection of the two brought on by Kogoro mentioning that he had Kaspar Gin and Melkior Vodka. Following this, [[volume 18]] is the final time that Viz continued with altered names.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * In the English dub, the explosion in the Apollo Building killed 23 people, some of whom could not be identified by authorities.<br /> * Mantendo is a reference to [[Wikipedia: Nintendo|Nintendo Co., Ltd.]], a Japanese video game company.<br /> * Technically this is one of the few cases that Conan solves as The Sleeping Kogoro without knocking him out with his Stun-Gun Wristwatch, as he misfires and hits Ran on the butt, and upon attempting to retrieve the dart (which was stuck on the coat check tickets) she does a roundhouse kick, hitting Kogoro in the forehead in the process and knocking him out.<br /> * Years later, this case would be mentioned again in [[On the Trail of a Silent Witness|episode 308]] due to Tequila being brought up by the associates of [[Suguru Itakura]] and Tequila having visited Itakura regarding a computer program that he wanted for the Organization along with Vermouth. In that case, Kogoro reassures Itakura's friends that the tall man with the black suit and mustache couldn't be the culprit for Itakura's absence, as the individual described (Tequila) was killed in a bombing accident a while back.<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|1|謎|Nazo|Mystery|[[Nazo]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|2|昼下がりの天使たち|Hirusagari no Tenshitachi|Early Afternoon Angels|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|3|新一の名推理|Shin'ichi no Meisuiri|Shinichi's Great Deduction|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|4|蘭のテーマ|Ran no Tēma|Ran's Theme|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|5|推理 （オリジナルver.）|Suiri (Orijinaru ver.)|Deduction (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|6|事件現場 （謎ver.）|Jiken Genba (Nazo ver.)|Scene of the Case (Mystery ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|7|事件現場 （オリジナルver.）|Jiken Genba (Orijinaru ver.)|Scene of the Case (Original ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|8|悪のテーマ （パート１）|Aku no Tēma (Pāto 1)|Theme of Evil (Part 1)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|9|コナンの危機|Konan no Kiki|Conan's Crisis|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack Super Best]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|10|脅迫 （パート２）|Kyōhaku (Pāto 2)|Threat (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|11|(Unreleased Sound Effect/BGM)|||}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|12|脅迫 （パート２）|Kyōhaku (Pāto 2)|Threat (Part 2)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|13|犯人のアジト|Hannin no Ajito|The Culprit's Hideout|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|14|怪人包帯男２|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 2|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 2|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|15|怪人包帯男１|Kaijin Hōtai Otoko 1|The Mysterious Bandaged Man 1|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|16|ひらめき|Hirameki|Flash|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|17|謎解き （その１）|Nazotoki (Sono 1)|Riddle Solution (Part 1)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 3]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|18|名探偵コナン・メインテーマ|Meitantei Konan・Mein Tēma|Detective Conan Main Theme|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 1]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|19|光と影のロマン|Hikari to Kage no Roman|Romance of Light and Shadow|[[Hikari to Kage no Roman]]}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem|20|蘭のテーマ （優しさver.）|Ran no Tēma (Yasashisa ver.) |Ran's Theme (Gentle ver.)|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 2]]}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> {{main gallery}}<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable EpLang}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Arabic|Arabic|الحقيبة القاتلة |The Deadly Bag}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Basque Country|Basque|Hilketa kasinoan|Murder in the casino}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Catalonia|Catalan (Catalonia dub)|El cas de l'assassinat de l'empresa de jocs|The Murder Case of the gaming company}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Valencia|Catalan (Valencian dub)|L'assassinat de la companyia de jocs|Game company murder}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=France|French|La Mystérieuse organisation|The Mysterious Organization}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Galicia|Galician|O asasinato da empresa de xogos|Game company murder}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Germany|German|Fatale Verwechslung|Fatal Mix-Up}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Italy|Italian|Chi è il colpevole?|Who is the Culprit?}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=South Korea|Korean|게임 회사 살인 사건|Game Company Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=US|Spanish (American dub)|El asesinato en la compañía de juegos|Murder in game company}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Spain|Spanish (Castilian dub)|Asesinato en el salón de juegos|Murder in the game hall}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|คดีฆาตกรรมบริษัทเกม|Game Company Murder Case}}<br /> {{EpLangItem|flag=Vietnam|Vietnamese|Vụ án giết người ở công ty Game|Game company murder case}}<br /> {{EndTable}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Season 2]]<br /> <br /> {{Season 2}}<br /> {{Black Organization}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Episodes]]<br /> [[Category:Animation directed by Hiromi Muranaka]]<br /> [[Category:Animation directed by Asako Nishida]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Episode 56]]<br /> [[zh:TV54]]</div>

Conan shares the story of how it got there. Ten years ago, Shinichi and Ran enter the school at night to investigate the rumors of a ghost. They run into a mysterious man who claims to be Shinichi's younger brother and who challenges them to a treasure hunt; He then leaves them the wallet with a note containing the message &quot;Quell the anger of Haido&quot; in Japanese and a hint that he likes red things. &quot;Quell the anger&quot; is a pun of &quot;drop the anchor&quot; so the riddle refers to Haido Port. With Agasa, the pair finds another riddle hidden on a red fire hydrant which says &quot;Clear the allegations against Toriya and demolish the liver of Goroukou&quot; in Japanese. Conan reveals that clearing the allegation is to prove innocent, which is {{nihongo|&quot;white&quot;|白|shiro}} in police slang, which is a pun of {{nihongo|castle|城|shiro}}, so the hint means Toriya Castle. Goroukou is a reference to {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Mito Kōmon|Mito Kōmon]]|水戸黄門}}. Destroying the liver means destroying the middle, so removing the middle kanji of Mito Kōmon yields {{nihongo|3=suimon|2=水門|4=lit. flood gates}}. They find the next clue near a railroad crossing with red lights by the floodgates of Toriya Castle: &quot;Erase the evidence of Okuho. With a raspy voice, endure loneliness.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==== Part 2 ====<br /> &quot;Erase the evidence&quot; means a cancellation postal mark so they head to the Okuho post office but couldn't find anything. Shinichi then solves the rest of the riddle and heads to the school and finds the next riddle on a stop sign. The letter contains kanji, some of which are also mahjong jargon, and decodes to mean Beika City Hall. Once there, Shinichi finds the last riddle on a flag pole with the Japanese flag: &quot;S → W&quot;. Shinichi presumes it means the sunset and assumes his father created the riddle for his entertainment, with the cooperation from the mysterious man. Shinichi and Ran waited for the mysterious man to show up but never met him again.<br /> <br /> Back in present time, Kobayashi and the Detective Boys remarked that the last clue was really disappointing and seemed redundant: it was just a simple &quot;S → W&quot; message, and to point to the sunset, it sufficed to use &quot;W&quot; alone. Conan suddenly realized his deduction years ago was wrong.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{People|Mysterious man|EP472-473 Mysterious Man.jpg|<br /> * Mysterious man?<br /> * &quot;Shinichi Kudo's younger brother&quot;}}<br /> {{clearleft}}<br /> <br /> === Resolution ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Back in the present time, Conan realizes what the riddle actually means. Conan writes down the symbols for port, castle, flood gate, post office, middle school, and town hall. It is revealed that even if &quot;S → W&quot; could mean South to West, when the symbols are turned 90 degrees, they mean 'ox hide' in English letters. Conan rips open the leather wallet which reveals a message for Yusaku Kudo from the original Phantom Thief Kid: a single question mark. &quot;Younger brother&quot; was in reference to Yusaku being the one who gave Kid his name. In the past, Yukiko Kudo has dinner with Toichi Kuroba and hands him a letter from Yusaku. It contains a single exclamation mark, revealing that Yusaku received Toichi's message and implying that he knows Kid's true identity.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == BGM listing ==<br /> === Part 1 ===<br /> {{BeginTable BGMListing}}<br /> {{BGMListingItem |2:00 - 2:23|オセンチな歩美|Osenchina Ayumi|Sentimental Ayumi|[[Detective Conan Original Soundtrack 4 ~Isoge!

Also, without noticing [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<br /> <br /> [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan have been invited by [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to the ''jigoku'' (&quot;hell&quot;) hot springs near the city of Beppu in the Oita Prefecuture. However, during the train ride Conan notices that Kogoro is unusually serious, and he also spots [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] onboard, who desperately pleads with him not to reveal his presence.<br /> <br /> While taking a tour at the springs, Conan notices a strange man wearing shades and carrying an ''oni'' mask strapped to his backpack. Right afterwards, he and Ran surprise Kogoro when he walks by holding the picture of a pretty young woman in his hands. As Kogoro reveals under pressure, he has travelled to Beppu on an assignment. The woman is Manami Nakadai, daughter of Hidetora Nakadai, the president of a prestigious electrics company. Manami has run away, leaving only a picture of her holding a ticket to the ''jigoku'' springs. The reason is that she recently became engaged with Kenichiro Ehara, a move which apparently drove her ex-boyfriend, Hiroyuki Hayami, a paper craftsman located in Beppu, into blackmailing her with pictures of their dissolved relationship.<br /> <br /> While inspecting the picture, Conan notices a van with a special logo in its background, which leads them to an inn with an outdoor hot spring for bathing. However, while discussing the case during their bath, they unknowingly catch the attention of Manami, who is also staying at the inn. Shortly afterwards, Conan and Kogoro encounter Manami, but before they can react on their discovery, a scream from Manami sends them rushing to her room, where they see what appears to be a pair of glowing red eyes hovering before the window; just moments later, the eyes suddenly float away into the darkness. When Conan investigates the scene in the light of the next morning, he notices a peculiar set of cut marks on the tree in front of the window.<br /> <br /> Manami declares her willingness to accompany Conan and the Mouris back to Tokyo the following day, whereupon Hidetora Nakadai declares that he will come to Beppu personally to fetch her. However, when left alone in her room while Conan and the Mouris receive Hidetora, Hozogai and Ehara, Manami is kidnapped from her room by an individual wearing a red ''oni'' mask. When the others come up to look after her, they find the room ransacked and some tire tracks near the inn's emergency exit. Right afterwards, the kidnapper calls President Nakadai and demands a ransom of 100 million yen for Manami's release, to be delivered by Ehara to the Takasakiyama Zoo. Conan, suspecting that there may be more to the case than meets the eye, marks the money bundles with a highlighter pen.<br /> <br /> At the same time, in nearby Yufuin, Detective Takagi is ostensibly taking a vacation with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], despite him having been assigned to handle an armed robbery case, with one of the perpetrators being the man with the ''oni'' mask Conan encountered in Beppu. Because Takagi is still holding his hopes high that his relationship should progress into marriage soon, he has taken a sick leave, actually an absence without justified leave, in order to spend some private time with her in Yufuin and capitalize on the emotion of the moment. However, a call from [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] not only reveals his duplicity to a furious Sato, it also points out that the car of the robbers was found at Oita Marine Palace Aquarium by the Prefecture police. Sato immediately takes up the case, towing a devastated Takagi along for some atonement, suspecting that the culrpit must be visiting the aquarium park, which incidentally lies right next to the Takasamiyama Zoo. While invesitating the zoo for clues, Takagi inadvertently crosses paths with Conan's entourage on their own stakeout of the ransom delivery.<br /> <br /> Ehara is supposed to wait inside a visitor's cabin on the zoo grounds, but soon he comes running out with the ransom money bag in his hands, claiming that he can't handle the pressure. Then the kidnapper calls, leaving instructions to deposit the bag at the Monkey Rock, a local landmark. Expecting the kidnapper to arrive on foot, the group is taken by surprise when a remote-controlled drone arrives instead to snag the bag with a hook. Conan tries to stop it, only to be hoisted into the air along with the bag.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Kidnapping<br /> | victim = Manami Nakadai<br /> | image = EP851-852 Case.jpg<br /> | location = An inn at the ''Jigoku'' Springs in Beppu<br /> | age = 22 years old<br /> | suspects = Hiroyuki Hayami<br /> | suspects-label = Suspect<br /> | description = While waiting in her room for her father to arrive, Manami was blindfolded and taken away through the inn's emergency exit by a man with a red oni mask.

It turns out that they send letter to each other, and the sculpture was made by Hiroyuki. The first culprit that was caught is '''Ryuji Ogikubo'''.<br /> <br /> It turns that he was an accomplice, but he didn't kidnapped Manami, but in order to split the stolen money. In his deduction, there was one more accomplice, and it was '''Yozo Hozogai''', the second accomplice, his order was to get the stolen money, and '''the real culprit''' would have the half of it. It turns that the real culprit was '''Kenichiro Ehara'''. Ehara called the company and threatened him that his daughter is kidnapped. Ehara hid the money in the visitor's cabin and changed the money into books. The evidence is there are marks on his hand which is the highlighter that Conan draw, so that the culprit would have touched it and leave evidence. His motive is his company was going bankrupt. If he marry Manami, he could have all the money. The robbery before was staged by Ehara, but the door was locked so he didn't got the stolen money. Now, Ehara and Hosogai are arrested. Moreover, with the president's approval, Hiroyuki and Manami can return a couple.<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{people|[[Ryuji Ogikubo]]|Ryuji Ogikubo.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Robber<br /> * Nakadai Electric's former employee}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> |crime = Attempted Robbery<br /> |image = EP851-852 Case3.jpg<br /> |victim = A Nakadai Electric money transporter<br /> |location = Unknown alley in Tokyo<br /> |suspects = Ryuji Ogikubo<br /> |suspects-label = Culprit<br /> |description = Three weeks prior, a Nakadai Electric money transporter with 100 million yen was brutally stopped by an armed robber wearing sunglasses, later revealed to be Ryuji Ogikubo.

This is the 15th [[Mystery Tour]] episode of the anime, being set in [[Wikipedia:Beppu|Beppu]] region.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{char Appearances|<br /> {{char|Conan Edogawa}}<br /> {{char|Kogoro Mouri}}<br /> {{char|Ran Mouri}}<br /> {{char|Wataru Takagi}}<br /> {{char|Miwako Sato}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Gadgets ==<br /> {{Gadgets Appearances|<br /> {{Gadget|Stun-Gun Wristwatch}}<br /> {{Gadget|Voice-Changing Bowtie}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Case ==<br /> === Situation ===<br /> ==== Beppu Chapter ====<br /> A man named Hidetora Nakadai and his secretary Yozo Hozogai goes into Mouri Detective Agency, to save his daughter named Manami Nakadai, at first they threatened the Nakadai family that she was kidnapped. Also, without noticing [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<br /> <br /> [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan have been invited by [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to the ''jigoku'' (&quot;hell&quot;) hot springs near the city of Beppu in the Oita Prefecuture. However, during the train ride Conan notices that Kogoro is unusually serious, and he also spots [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] onboard, who desperately pleads with him not to reveal his presence.<br /> <br /> While taking a tour at the springs, Conan notices a strange man wearing shades and carrying an ''oni'' mask strapped to his backpack. Right afterwards, he and Ran surprise Kogoro when he walks by holding the picture of a pretty young woman in his hands. As Kogoro reveals under pressure, he has travelled to Beppu on an assignment. The woman is Manami Nakadai, daughter of Hidetora Nakadai, the president of a prestigious electrics company. Manami has run away, leaving only a picture of her holding a ticket to the ''jigoku'' springs. The reason is that she recently became engaged with Kenichiro Ehara, a move which apparently drove her ex-boyfriend, Hiroyuki Hayami, a paper craftsman located in Beppu, into blackmailing her with pictures of their dissolved relationship.<br /> <br /> While inspecting the picture, Conan notices a van with a special logo in its background, which leads them to an inn with an outdoor hot spring for bathing. However, while discussing the case during their bath, they unknowingly catch the attention of Manami, who is also staying at the inn. Shortly afterwards, Conan and Kogoro encounter Manami, but before they can react on their discovery, a scream from Manami sends them rushing to her room, where they see what appears to be a pair of glowing red eyes hovering before the window; just moments later, the eyes suddenly float away into the darkness. When Conan investigates the scene in the light of the next morning, he notices a peculiar set of cut marks on the tree in front of the window.<br /> <br /> Manami declares her willingness to accompany Conan and the Mouris back to Tokyo the following day, whereupon Hidetora Nakadai declares that he will come to Beppu personally to fetch her. However, when left alone in her room while Conan and the Mouris receive Hidetora, Hozogai and Ehara, Manami is kidnapped from her room by an individual wearing a red ''oni'' mask. When the others come up to look after her, they find the room ransacked and some tire tracks near the inn's emergency exit. Right afterwards, the kidnapper calls President Nakadai and demands a ransom of 100 million yen for Manami's release, to be delivered by Ehara to the Takasakiyama Zoo. Conan, suspecting that there may be more to the case than meets the eye, marks the money bundles with a highlighter pen.<br /> <br /> At the same time, in nearby Yufuin, Detective Takagi is ostensibly taking a vacation with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], despite him having been assigned to handle an armed robbery case, with one of the perpetrators being the man with the ''oni'' mask Conan encountered in Beppu. Because Takagi is still holding his hopes high that his relationship should progress into marriage soon, he has taken a sick leave, actually an absence without justified leave, in order to spend some private time with her in Yufuin and capitalize on the emotion of the moment. However, a call from [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] not only reveals his duplicity to a furious Sato, it also points out that the car of the robbers was found at Oita Marine Palace Aquarium by the Prefecture police. Sato immediately takes up the case, towing a devastated Takagi along for some atonement, suspecting that the culrpit must be visiting the aquarium park, which incidentally lies right next to the Takasamiyama Zoo. While invesitating the zoo for clues, Takagi inadvertently crosses paths with Conan's entourage on their own stakeout of the ransom delivery.<br /> <br /> Ehara is supposed to wait inside a visitor's cabin on the zoo grounds, but soon he comes running out with the ransom money bag in his hands, claiming that he can't handle the pressure. Then the kidnapper calls, leaving instructions to deposit the bag at the Monkey Rock, a local landmark. Expecting the kidnapper to arrive on foot, the group is taken by surprise when a remote-controlled drone arrives instead to snag the bag with a hook. Conan tries to stop it, only to be hoisted into the air along with the bag.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Kidnapping<br /> | victim = Manami Nakadai<br /> | image = EP851-852 Case.jpg<br /> | location = An inn at the ''Jigoku'' Springs in Beppu<br /> | age = 22 years old<br /> | suspects = Hiroyuki Hayami<br /> | suspects-label = Suspect<br /> | description = While waiting in her room for her father to arrive, Manami was blindfolded and taken away through the inn's emergency exit by a man with a red oni mask.

It turns out that they send letter to each other, and the sculpture was made by Hiroyuki. The first culprit that was caught is '''Ryuji Ogikubo'''.<br /> <br /> It turns that he was an accomplice, but he didn't kidnapped Manami, but in order to split the stolen money. In his deduction, there was one more accomplice, and it was '''Yozo Hozogai''', the second accomplice, his order was to get the stolen money, and '''the real culprit''' would have the half of it. It turns that the real culprit was '''Kenichiro Ehara'''. Ehara called the company and threatened him that his daughter is kidnapped. Ehara hid the money in the visitor's cabin and changed the money into books. The evidence is there are marks on his hand which is the highlighter that Conan draw, so that the culprit would have touched it and leave evidence. His motive is his company was going bankrupt. If he marry Manami, he could have all the money. The robbery before was staged by Ehara, but the door was locked so he didn't got the stolen money. Now, Ehara and Hosogai are arrested. Moreover, with the president's approval, Hiroyuki and Manami can return a couple.<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{people|[[Ryuji Ogikubo]]|Ryuji Ogikubo.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Robber<br /> * Nakadai Electric's former employee}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> |crime = Attempted Robbery<br /> |image = EP851-852 Case3.jpg<br /> |victim = A Nakadai Electric money transporter<br /> |location = Unknown alley in Tokyo<br /> |suspects = Ryuji Ogikubo<br /> |suspects-label = Culprit<br /> |description = Three weeks prior, a Nakadai Electric money transporter with 100 million yen was brutally stopped by an armed robber wearing sunglasses, later revealed to be Ryuji Ogikubo.

They were probably gathered after spraying them with ether. To incriminate him, Conan concludes that he found a beekeeper outfit that smelled of ether in the shed, and also reveals that there were three helium tanks in the shed were used to test flights for the balloon with a bag attached in it. And reveals he murdered Yamazaki by:<br /> <br /> * First, to temporarily keep the balloon inside the chimney, he tied fishing line to it led it to the downstairs kitchen through a small hole in the floor by the fireplace, and tied it to a nail.<br /> * He also stuck fishing line to a piece of tape on the bag and led it to the kitchen.<br /> * And reveals the call President Yamazaki recieved, was actually from Aihara to get her into the room.<br /> * After confirming that she had picked up the receiver, he pulled a thread leading into the kitchen, the tape covering made a pre-made rip in the bag came off and sent wasps flying out.<br /> * The balloon blocked the chimney's top, so the wasps flew into the room, the agitated wasps then attacked President Yamazaki. While spraying the insecticide, she headed for the door, but she was unable to open it because it was crawling with wasps.<br /> * With no other choice, she ran around the room, broke the window and leapt onto the veranda. she leaned against the rail and aimed the spray at wasps, but the rail broke and she fell over.<br /> * After they rushed outside, he quickly returned to the kitchen and undid the other thread, and so the balloon went flying out the chimney, and also reveals that his towel must've used in covering the doorknob in honey and there is the thread he used in his pocket.<br /> <br /> Aihara confesses and reveals Yamazaki lied to him that she will make him as the manager of the spa resort, so he tried so hard to endure it and also he wanted to ruin the ground-breaking ceremony of the spa resort tomorrow.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Translation changes ==<br /> === Anime ===<br /> * The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:<br /> :* Shingo Aihara - Stanley Aikman<br /> :* Hiromi Yamazaki - Stacy Young<br /> :* Hachibe Hachimaki - Hadley Monahan<br /> :* Eri Nakamura - Allie McNair<br /> :* Officer Suzuki - Officer Salley<br /> :* Sakurai - Doctor Wentz<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * The word Hachi in Hachibe Hachimaki might be a reference to how his city produces goods made from beekeeping, as Hachi (蜂) means bee in Japanese.
