=== Situation ===
At [[Café Poirot]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] are trying to solve a [[wikipedia:matchstick puzzle|matchstick puzzle]] given by Azusa: The puzzle gives five matches arranged as the number "ten". Change the position of only ''one'' match so that "ten" becomes "one" in at least one certain mean.
[[File:1204-1205-1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The matchstick puzzle]]
[[File:1204-1205-2.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The answer of the puzzle]]

[[Azusa Enomoto|Azusa]] mentions that they are allowed to put the initial configuration anywhere they want and use a different angle to look at the final configuration, Sonoko proposes an answer based on only Azusa’s second hint, but Conan says it is not valid because she ''hasn’t moved'' a single match. Sonoko gets angry and yells at him, in which he is scared and spills his glass of water in the process. Sonoko apologizes for shouting Conan while Ran cleans up the spilled water, then Masumi finds a right way to change "ten" into "one": Fold the towel so it can support a matchstick upright, then display the number ten again so the “0” is in the towel. Now put the final matchstick vertically with the modified towel. The final result is the one on a die. [[Furuya Rei|Amuro]] arrives at the table and comments that Masumi knew what to do when Conan spilled the glass of water purposely, to which Conan denies any relation while Masumi claims that she solved it on her own.

==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko, thinking that there must be other matchstick puzzles that require one to ''take only one'' match to fulfil a certain requirement, decides to search for them on the Internet. However, she stumbles upon news of a murderer who ''takes one finger away'' from bodies that he killed as trophies. Masumi mentions that the murderer has been caught and confessed to their crime, but no one is certain if the criminal has accomplices or not, and their whereabouts, if they exist. Azusa says she has seen the face shown in the news somewhere, but she is not certain at the same time.

Kiyoshi Hante, the customer wearing a [[wikipedia:Bucket hat|fisherman’s hat]] while sitting at the table with his beef stew, calls Azusa to ask several questions about the dish since it feels similar to one he usually has at his favorite restaurant. Amuro gives the man a paper containing the ingredients, the amount of each, and how to handle them. He also reminds the man that the way the ingredients are handled depends on the condition of each ingredient. As Hante leaves Café Poirot while still coughing, Azusa again uses the same phrase she did for the face shown in the news, making Amuro and some of the audience to think if she is going to make a new [[wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]]. Just then, Reita Kanamaru, a customer wearing [[wikipedia:cap|a cap]], coughs behind her and Amuro. She asks if he is fine, he says yes, and asks if he can get extra coffee. Later, Azusa becomes shocked during the conversation with Keisuke Omura, the customer wearing a beanie, which makes him panic as he does not want something in their conversation to be revealed yet.

A moment later, Amuro finds the [[wikipedia:List of edible salts|herb salt]] being nearly empty when he is cooking pasta, so he asks Azusa to get some at the nearby supermarket. Azusa says she knew, but she couldn’t buy it because the item in the supermarket is out of stock. Conan, having been sent to the supermarket near [[Kudo residence|his house]] to get herb salt by [[Yukiko Kudo|his mom]] when he was small, tells the two about that store, even though it would take longer to travel. Azusa agrees to have Conan lead the way to that supermarket.

Masumi becomes concerned as the two have gone for thirty minutes. Sonoko optimistically says that the supermarket near Shinichi’s house must have also run out of herb salt. Suddenly, Ran receives a call from Conan, so she picks it up, asking if he got lost. He replies that the two are being followed by some suspicious people, which makes her more concerned about their safety as she then puts the call on speaker mode. The two at first wanted to cut the followers off so there won’t be any potential kidnapping toward the Café, but decided to have them subdued to the police station since they are almost back. Conan asks if Amuro can come out and pick them at the sidewalk opposite the Café. Amuro understands the situation and goes outside the Café, with the three girls following right after. In the sidewalk opposite to the four is Azusa waving at them, while Conan is still being cautious around, and an old woman walking with her baby stroller. Amuro is about to cross the road when there is an upcoming bus, forcing him to step back in order not to endanger anyone. However, right after the bus passes and no longer block the view between the two groups; Amuro, then Masumi, then Ran and Sonoko, are shocked to see that the two have disappeared. Everyone, having noticed the old woman, runs off to her to ask what happened to Azusa and Conan. From there, they understand that one of the kidnappers is one of the customers this morning.

The episode cuts to an undisclosed location where Azusa and Conan are being held. However, the two of them are simply tied together with a chain and two [[wikipedia:Padlock|padlocks]], one ankle each, with the chain also going through the fridge handle. She remembers that a black van stopped in front of them and she was then tased and fell unconscious. She then wonders what to do, as she is not able to wake Conan up.

She notices the fridge limiting her and Conan’s movement, and wants to have a drink to calm herself down. Little did she know how traumatized she will be when she see the upcoming content:

* Inside the fridge is a jar. The jar contains a head, which is enough to make her scared. However, if we look closely, we should realize that the head is unable to be put in the jar normally, or several jar factories would end up being investigated afterward.

* Azusa then falls to the floor, thinking what in the world is happening to her. Not long after she steps back from the fridge, she accidentally touches something with her left hand, so she instinctively turns to look that way, and she sees a chopped-up finger with bloodstains, a knife, and a [[wikipedia:Hacksaw|hacksaw]] nearby. Another traumatizing scene!

She recalls Masumi’s words about the bizarre murderer, about the uncertainty of their accomplice, and thinks if the two were abducted by the remaining accomplices of that insane murderer. Suddenly, she hears the sounds of Conan’s [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], so she decides to answer its signal. It turns out that Ran, Sonoko, Masumi, and Amuro are using the spare detective badge in Conan’s room to contact the two. Azusa explains the situation, about what happened before the two got kidnapped, what she just saw in the room. However, the call is disrupted by two men wearing facemasks and hoodies as the two heard noise inside the room (one is wearing a blue hoodie and one is wearing a yellow hoodie). The man in yellow hoodie breaks the badge, but not completely as Amuro’s side is still able to eavesdrop on what is coming, while the man in blue communicates to the yellow guy about how long they will keep the hostages. However, Sonoko’s outburst upon hearing the time they have left alerts the two men as the man in yellow hoodie breaks it completely in a rage.

Masumi confirms the signal of the badge is unavailable while Ran wonders why the kidnappers aimed toward Conan and Azusa. Sonoko theorizes that it could be because of Azusa’s reaction when she saw the face shown in the news about the murder, in which Amuro and Masumi refute because Conan and Azusa would have been killed if that was the case. The four begin to examining the three sneezing customers:

* The first to be examined is Kiyoshi Hante. Firstly, Masumi theorizes that he is probably a staff of a restaurant who just wants to steal the recipe, Sonoko adds that the recipe Amuro gave the man might be a fake one, to which Amuro says he always gives the real one to anyone interested in a dish/drink. Ran theorizes that Hante wants to publish an e-book including the recipe he was given this morning, most likely to earn profit, but Masumi it is not plausible. Amuro recalls Azusa’s catch phrase, but shakes off his thought because she might probably have met him in a restaurant.

* The second man to be examined is Reita Kanamaru. Sonoko theorizes that Kanamaru was stalking Azusa and kidnapped her without thinking. Masumi reminds her that Conan also got kidnapped, and that the person he was looking at the most is actually Amuro. Amuro deduces that he must be a frequent regular because he told Amuro that there was extra herb salt under the counter.

* The third person is Keisuke Omura. Ran thinks he works for a game company because the label written on his bag is “Shudankan Bunko”, a company that publishes a lot of strategy guides. Sonoko mentions that Azusa is really into a game called Splatter 2, a game where one plays as a girl using scythe to slice killers and monsters. Masumi theorizes that the thing Omura did not want Azusa to share to everyone is how to beat Splatter 2, but Ran wonders how is it the case because Azusa couldn't have seen the screen from where she was standing. At the same time, Sonoko shows Ran and Masumi a picture which she assumes is how Azusa saw what Omura did not want her to.
==== Part 2 ====
From the picture shown by Sonoko, we can see Omura’s laptop screen being reflected on the glass, along with the solution of the matchstick puzzle Azusa gave them earlier. This is because Sonoko took pictures of the solution from various angles. Masumi mentions to Sonoko and Ran that she went to the restroom for a while when the three are in Poirot, and asks the two if they told something that might become the cause for the kidnapping. The two recall that they were talking about the upcoming [[wikipedia:Tug of war|tug-of-war]] tournament, whose women's division competes in a team of six, with the winning team earning a ten thousand yen gift certificate. The two intended to have Masumi in for the tournament, while were still discussing if they should invite Azusa as well, but decided not to because she is light and does not seem to have the strength for it. Amuro and Masumi realize something, and want to have another look at the first picture shown by Sonoko.

Meanwhile, at the kidnappers’ hideout, Azusa is crying because she still has many things she wants to do before she is no more. Conan tells her that the two will be fine because he has everything figured out. The yellow kidnapper warns them not to do anything reckless. Azusa wonders how long Conan has been awake, he replies that he has been awake ever since she opened the refrigerator. He also explains he pretended to not awake so as to assess the situation when he heard footsteps. Conan says they will start by opening the padlocks used with the chain to keep the two, to which Azusa says she doesn’t have a hairpin or anything like that. Conan reminds that she has matches, making Azusa wonder how he can do it with just a bunch of matches. She also wonders what he is looking at, and he says he is waiting for a cue, which makes her even more confused as she asks: What cue?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan explains that he had seen the yellow kidnapper putting Azusa’s phone onto his back, so he had put her wireless earphones onto them, one for each, at one of their pant flaps. This is because of the ''find my devices feature'', which will help one detect a device if they are 400 meters away from its owner, and Conan is waiting for the feature to be activated on her phone, signifying that there is one less person to face off. Once the feature works, Conan stands up and knocks the yellow kidnapper out using his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]].

After knocking the yellow kidnapper out, Conan tries to retrieve Azusa’s phone, but it is not possible because of the chain used to tie their ankle. Conan has no choice but to open the padlock himself, and asks for her match box. He then picks a knife found near the hacksaw to scrape off the igniter substance on the head of the matches, and uses the box to put the substance before grinding it into powder. Next, he puts the powder inside the padlock’s keyhole, and modifies a match head so the wooden shaft can be put inside the keyhole, reaching the powder. Finally, he ignites a match and has it connect to the modified match, triggering an explosion and unlocking the padlock. Conan explains that the explosion moves all the pins inside the lock to the highest position, making the lock open. However, it could be a gamble since not all types of padlocks can be opened this way.

[[File:1204-1205-4.jpg|200px|thumb|left|How a correct key would unlock a padlock.]]
[[File:1204-1205-5.jpg|200px|thumb|right|How an explosion can also unlock that padlock.]]
{{clear}}
After unlocking the padlock, Conan tries to call for help using Azusa’s phone, but his attention shifts toward the phone of the kidnapper when it receives a message. Conan opens that phone to check the message using the man’s fingerprint, and sees some terms that make him change his mind. He uncovers the yellow hoodie so everyone can understand that no one was killed, but Azusa believes he killed his own twin brother instead, so Conan has to take the head out of the jar to reveal that it is actually just water and a laminated photo of the front and sides of the kidnapper in yellow hoodie. He also reveals that the chopped-up finger is actually a sausage that was cut so it looks like what Azusa perceived. For the location that the two are being held at, Conan concludes it must have been a photography studio, specifically, it is the one for the game that Azusa is into. Then, as Conan finally finds the group chat consisting only of the kidnappers, he sends a message saying that he and Azusa are rampaging the location, oh dear!.

Finally, it is revealed that Azusa learnt that the game she is into would have its sequel being announced at midnight: ''Splatter III''. It is true that one of the kidnappers, namely '''Keisuke Omura''', could have simply told Azusa to keep it a secret, but there is one issue: Omura did hear the conversation between Ran and Sonoko when Masumi went to the bathroom, and misinterpreted the "two should not tell her because she is a lightweight into": ''the two should not tell her because she is light-lipped'', implying that she is not good at keeping secret. However, by the time Amuro, Masumi, Sonoko, and Ran arrive at the room where Conan and Azusa are being kept hostage, the four have already seen the three kidnappers apologize to Conan and Azusa for the misunderstanding. Nonetheless, the two decide to overlook this case because there is no actual crime that has happened, at the cost of the three giving six copies of the said game (two for them, four for the Detective Boys and Haibara) in return.

==== Aftermath ====

Ran recognizes the face of the guy complaining about the beef stew to be an owner of a café by the station, as she saw him advertising his new beef stew, which Conan comments on that guy’s nerve. Keita Kanamaru once again arrives at the Café Poirot, and the high school girls sitting with Conan are surprised when Azusa reveals Kanamaru filled in when the manager was in the hospital due to an injury. The reason he came, even though the manager is no longer in the hospital, is because of the rumour that Amuro and Azusa are dating, much to the shock of the latter two. The scene goes outside of the café as we see the old woman with the stroller once again.

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime added the scene where Azusa bring a new glass of water after Conan spilled his.
* Azusa's line where she encouraged Omura not to be affected by his allergies is anime addition.
* The anime adds the scene where Ran puts the call on speaker mode, so Amuro heard what Conan told everyone afterward. While in manga, she has to relay the information to Amuro.
* The anime added Eri to the background image of Ran cuddling Goro.
* The anime added Azusa's line where she said that Conan is too cool after he is revealed to be conscious.

Conan asks if Amuro can come out and pick them at the sidewalk opposite the Café. Amuro understands the situation and goes outside the Café, with the three girls following right after. In the sidewalk opposite to the four is Azusa waving at them, while Conan is still being cautious around, and an old woman walking with her baby stroller. Amuro is about to cross the road when there is an upcoming bus, forcing him to step back in order not to endanger anyone. However, right after the bus passes and no longer block the view between the two groups; Amuro, then Masumi, then Ran and Sonoko, are shocked to see that the two have disappeared. Everyone, having noticed the old woman, runs off to her to ask what happened to Azusa and Conan. From there, they understand that one of the kidnappers is one of the customers this morning.

The episode cuts to an undisclosed location where Azusa and Conan are being held. However, the two of them are simply tied together with a chain and two [[wikipedia:Padlock|padlocks]], one ankle each, with the chain also going through the fridge handle. She remembers that a black van stopped in front of them and she was then tased and fell unconscious. She then wonders what to do, as she is not able to wake Conan up.

She notices the fridge limiting her and Conan’s movement, and wants to have a drink to calm herself down. Little did she know how traumatized she will be when she see the upcoming content:

* Inside the fridge is a jar. The jar contains a head, which is enough to make her scared. However, if we look closely, we should realize that the head is unable to be put in the jar normally, or several jar factories would end up being investigated afterward.

* Azusa then falls to the floor, thinking what in the world is happening to her. Not long after she steps back from the fridge, she accidentally touches something with her left hand, so she instinctively turns to look that way, and she sees a chopped-up finger with bloodstains, a knife, and a [[wikipedia:Hacksaw|hacksaw]] nearby.

She recalls Masumi’s words about the bizarre murderer, about the uncertainty of their accomplice, and thinks if the two were abducted by the remaining accomplices of that insane murderer. Suddenly, she hears the sounds of Conan’s [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], so she decides to answer its signal. It turns out that Ran, Sonoko, Masumi, and Amuro are using the spare detective badge in Conan’s room to contact the two. Azusa explains the situation, about what happened before the two got kidnapped, what she just saw in the room. However, the call is disrupted by two men wearing facemasks and hoodies as the two heard noise inside the room (one is wearing a blue hoodie and one is wearing a yellow hoodie). The man in yellow hoodie breaks the badge, but not completely as Amuro’s side is still able to eavesdrop on what is coming, while the man in blue communicates to the yellow guy about how long they will keep the hostages. However, Sonoko’s outburst upon hearing the time they have left alerts the two men as the man in yellow hoodie breaks it completely in a rage.

Masumi confirms the signal of the badge is unavailable while Ran wonders why the kidnappers aimed toward Conan and Azusa. Sonoko theorizes that it could be because of Azusa’s reaction when she saw the face shown in the news about the murder, in which Amuro and Masumi refute because Conan and Azusa would have been killed if that was the case. The four begin to examining the three sneezing customers:

* The first to be examined is Kiyoshi Hante. Firstly, Masumi theorizes that he is probably a staff of a restaurant who just wants to steal the recipe, Sonoko adds that the recipe Amuro gave the man might be a fake one, to which Amuro says he always gives the real one to anyone interested in a dish/drink. Ran theorizes that Hante wants to publish an e-book including the recipe he was given this morning, most likely to earn profit, but Masumi it is not plausible. Amuro recalls Azusa’s catch phrase, but shakes off his thought because she might probably have met him in a restaurant.

* The second man to be examined is Reita Kanamaru. Sonoko theorizes that Kanamaru was stalking Azusa and kidnapped her without thinking. Masumi reminds her that Conan also got kidnapped, and that the person he was looking at the most is actually Amuro. Amuro deduces that he must be a frequent regular because he told Amuro that there was extra herb salt under the counter.

* The third person is Keisuke Omura. Ran thinks he works for a game company because the label written on his bag is “Shudankan Bunko”, a company that publishes a lot of strategy guides. Sonoko mentions that Azusa is really into a game called Splatter 2, a game where one plays as a girl using scythe to slice killers and monsters. Masumi theorizes that the thing Omura did not want Azusa to share to everyone is how to beat Splatter 2, but Ran wonders how is it the case because Azusa couldn't have seen the screen from where she was standing. At the same time, Sonoko shows Ran and Masumi a picture which she assumes is how Azusa saw what Omura did not want her to.
==== Part 2 ====
From the picture shown by Sonoko, we can see Omura’s laptop screen being reflected on the glass, along with the solution of the matchstick puzzle Azusa gave them earlier. This is because Sonoko took pictures of the solution from various angles. Masumi mentions to Sonoko and Ran that she went to the restroom for a while when the three are in Poirot, and asks the two if they told something that might become the cause for the kidnapping. The two recall that they were talking about the upcoming tug-of-war tournament, whose women's division competes in a team of six, with the winning team earning a ten thousand yen gift certificate. The two intended to have Sera in for the tournament, while were still discussing if they should invite Azusa as well, but decided not to because she is light and does not seem to have the strength for it. Amuro and Masumi realize something, and want to have another look at the first picture shown by Sonoko.

Meanwhile, at the kidnappers’ hideout, Azusa is crying because she still has many things she wants to do before she is no more. Conan tells her that the two will be fine because he has everything figured out. The yellow kidnapper warns them not to do anything reckless. Azusa wonders how long Conan has been awake, he replies that he has been awake ever since she opened the refrigerator. He also explains he pretended to not awake so as to assess the situation when he heard footsteps. Conan says they will start by opening the padlocks used with the chain to keep the two, to which Azusa says she doesn’t have a hairpin or anything like that. Conan reminds that she has matches, making Azusa wonder how he can do it with just a bunch of matches. She also wonders what he is looking at, and he says he is waiting for a cue, which makes her even more confused as she asks: What cue?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan explains that he had seen the yellow kidnapper putting Azusa’s phone onto his back, so he had put her wireless earphones onto them, one for each, at one of their pant flaps. This is because of the ''find my devices feature'', which will help one detect a device if they are 400 meters away from its owner, and Conan is waiting for the feature to be activated on her phone, signifying that there is one less person to face off. Once the feature works, Conan stands up and knocks the yellow kidnapper out using his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]].

After knocking the yellow kidnapper out, Conan tries to retrieve Azusa’s phone, but it is not possible because of the chain used to tie their ankle. Conan has no choice but to open the padlock himself, and asks for her match box. He then picks a knife found near the hacksaw to scrape off the igniter substance on the head of the matches, and uses the box to put the substance before grinding it into powder. Next, he puts the powder inside the padlock’s keyhole, and modifies a match head so the wooden shaft can be put inside the keyhole, reaching the powder. Finally, he ignites a match and has it connect to the modified match, triggering an explosion and unlocking the padlock. Conan explains that the explosion moves all the pins inside the lock to the highest position, making the lock open. However, it could be a gamble since not all types of padlocks can be opened this way.

[[File:1204-1205-4.jpg|200px|thumb|left|How a correct key would unlock a padlock.]]
[[File:1204-1205-5.jpg|200px|thumb|right|How an explosion can also unlock that padlock.]]
{{clear}}
After unlocking the padlock, Conan tries to call for help using Azusa’s phone, but his attention shifts toward the phone of the kidnapper when it receives a message. Conan opens that phone to check the message using the man’s fingerprint, and sees some terms that make him change his mind. He uncovers the yellow hoodie so everyone can understand that no one was killed, but Azusa believes he killed his own twin brother instead, so Conan has to take the head out of the jar to reveal that it is actually just water and a laminated photo of the front and sides of the kidnapper in yellow hoodie. He also reveals that the chopped-up finger is actually a sausage that was cut so it looks like what Azusa perceived. For the location that the two are being held at, Conan concludes it must have been a photography studio, specifically, it is the one for the game that Azusa is into. Then, as Conan finally finds the group chat consisting only of the kidnappers, he sends a message saying that he and Azusa are rampaging the location, oh dear!.

Finally, it is revealed that Azusa learnt that the game she is into would have its sequel being announced at midnight: ''Splatter III''. It is true that one of the kidnappers, namely '''Keisuke Omura''', could have simply told Azusa to keep it a secret, but there is one issue: Omura did hear the conversation between Ran and Sonoko when Masumi went to the bathroom, and misinterpreted the "two should not tell her because she is a lightweight into": ''the two should not tell her because she is light-lipped'', implying that she is not good at keeping secret. However, by the time Amuro, Masumi, Sonoko, and Ran arrive at the room where Conan and Azusa are being kept hostage, the four have already seen the three kidnappers apologize to Conan and Azusa for the misunderstanding. Nonetheless, the two decide to overlook this case because there is no actual crime that has happened, at the cost of the three giving six copies of the said game (two for them, four for the Detective Boys and Haibara) in return.

==== Aftermath ====

Ran recognizes the face of the guy complaining about the beef stew to be an owner of a café by the station, as she saw him advertising his new beef stew, which Conan comments on that guy’s nerve. Keita Kanamaru once again arrives at the Café Poirot, and the high school girls sitting with Conan are surprised when Azusa reveals Kanamaru filled in when the manager was in the hospital due to an injury. The reason he came, even though the manager is no longer in the hospital, is because of the rumour that Amuro and Azusa are dating, much to the shock of the latter two. The scene goes outside of the café as we see the old woman with the stroller once again.

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime added the scene where Azusa bring a new glass of water after Conan spilled his.
* Azusa's line where she encouraged Omura not to be affected by his allergies is anime addition.
* The anime adds the scene where Ran puts the call on speaker mode, so Amuro heard what Conan told everyone afterward. While in manga, she has to relay the information to Amuro.
* The anime added Eri to the background image of Ran cuddling Goro.
* The anime added Azusa's line where she said that Conan is too cool after he is revealed to be conscious.

=== Situation ===
At [[Café Poirot]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] are trying to solve a [[wikipedia:matchstick puzzle|matchstick puzzle]] given by Azusa: The puzzle gives five matches arranged as the number "ten". Change the position of only ''one'' match so that "ten" becomes "one" in at least one certain mean.
[[File:1204-1205-1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The matchstick puzzle]]
[[File:1204-1205-2.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The answer of the puzzle]]

[[Azusa Enomoto|Azusa]] mentions that they are allowed to put the initial configuration anywhere they want and use a different angle to look at the final configuration, Sonoko proposes an answer based on only Azusa’s second hint, but Conan says it is not valid because she ''hasn’t moved'' a single match. Sonoko gets angry and yells at him, in which he is scared and spills his glass of water in the process. Sonoko apologizes for shouting Conan while Ran cleans up the spilled water, then Masumi finds a right way to change "ten" into "one": Fold the towel so it can support a matchstick upright, then display the number ten again so the “0” is in the towel. Now put the final matchstick vertically with the modified towel. The final result is the one on a die. [[Furuya Rei|Amuro]] arrives at the table and comments that Masumi knew what to do when Conan spilled the glass of water purposely, to which Conan denies any relation while Masumi claims that she solved it on her own.

==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko, thinking that there must be other matchstick puzzles that require one to ''take only one'' match to fulfil a certain requirement, decides to search for them on the Internet. However, she stumbles upon news of a murderer who ''takes one finger away'' from bodies that he killed as trophies. Masumi mentions that the murderer has been caught and confessed to their crime, but no one is certain if the criminal has accomplices or not, and their whereabouts, if they exist. Azusa says she has seen the face shown in the news somewhere, but she is not certain at the same time.

Kiyoshi Hante, the customer wearing a [[wikipedia:Bucket hat|fisherman’s hat]] while sitting at the table with his beef stew, calls Azusa to ask several questions about the dish since it feels similar to one he usually has at his favorite restaurant. Amuro gives the man a paper containing the ingredients, the amount of each, and how to handle them. He also reminds the man that the way the ingredients are handled depends on the condition of each ingredient. As Hante leaves Café Poirot while still coughing, Azusa again uses the same phrase she did for the face shown in the news, making Amuro and some of the audience to think if she is going to make a new [[wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]]. Just then, Reita Kanamaru, a customer wearing [[wikipedia:cap|a cap]], coughs behind her and Amuro. She asks if he is fine, he says yes, and asks if he can get extra coffee. Later, Azusa becomes shocked during the conversation with Keisuke Omura, the customer wearing a beanie, which makes him panic as he does not want something in their conversation to be revealed yet.

A moment later, Amuro finds the [[wikipedia:List of edible salts|herb salt]] being nearly empty when he is cooking pasta, so he asks Azusa to get some at the nearby supermarket. Azusa says she knew, but she couldn’t buy it because the item in the supermarket is out of stock. Conan, having been sent to the supermarket near [[Kudo residence|his house]] to get herb salt by [[Yukiko Kudo|his mom]] when he was small, tells the two about that store, even though it would take longer to travel. Azusa agrees to have Conan lead the way to that supermarket.

Masumi becomes concerned as the two have gone for thirty minutes. Sonoko optimistically says that the supermarket near Shinichi’s house must have also run out of herb salt. Suddenly, Ran receives a call from Conan, so she picks it up, asking if he got lost. He replies that the two are being followed by some suspicious people, which makes her more concerned about their safety as she then puts the call on speaker mode. The two at first wanted to cut the followers off so there won’t be any potential kidnapping toward the Café, but decided to have them subdued to the police station since they are almost back. Conan asks if Amuro can come out and pick them at the sidewalk opposite the Café. Amuro understands the situation and goes outside the Café, with the three girls following right after. In the sidewalk opposite to the four is Azusa waving at them, while Conan is still being cautious around, and an old woman walking with her baby stroller. Amuro is about to cross the road when there is an upcoming bus, forcing him to step back in order not to endanger anyone. However, right after the bus passes and no longer block the view between the two groups; Amuro, then Masumi, then Ran and Sonoko, are shocked to see that the two have disappeared. Everyone, having noticed the old woman, runs off to her to ask what happened to Azusa and Conan. From there, they understand that one of the kidnappers is one of the customers this morning.

The episode cuts to an undisclosed location where Azusa and Conan are being held. However, the two of them are simply tied together with a chain and two [[wikipedia:Padlock|padlocks]], one ankle each, with the chain also going through the fridge handle. She remembers that a black van stopped in front of them and she was then tased and fell unconscious. She then wonders what to do, as she is not able to wake Conan up.

<spoiler>
Conan explains that he had seen the yellow kidnapper putting Azusa’s phone onto his back, so he had put her wireless earphones onto them, one for each, at one of their pant flaps. This is because of the ''find my devices feature'', which will help one detect a device if they are 400 meters away from its owner, and Conan is waiting for the feature to be activated on her phone, signifying that there is one less person to face off. Once the feature works, Conan stands up and knocks the yellow kidnapper out using his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]].

After knocking the yellow kidnapper out, Conan tries to retrieve Azusa’s phone, but it is not possible because of the chain used to tie their ankle. Conan has no choice but to open the padlock himself, and asks for her match box. He then picks a knife found near the hacksaw to scrape off the igniter substance on the head of the matches, and uses the box to put the substance before grinding it into powder. Next, he puts the powder inside the padlock’s keyhole, and modifies a match head so the wooden shaft can be put inside the keyhole, reaching the powder. Finally, he ignites a match and has it connect to the modified match, triggering an explosion and unlocking the padlock. Conan explains that the explosion moves all the pins inside the lock to the highest position, making the lock open. However, it could be a gamble since not all types of padlocks can be opened this way.

[[File:1204-1205-4.jpg|200px|thumb|left|How a correct key would unlock a padlock.]]
[[File:1204-1205-5.jpg|200px|thumb|right|How an explosion can also unlock that padlock.]]

After unlocking the padlock, Conan tries to call for help using Azusa’s phone, but his attention shifts toward the phone of the kidnapper when it receives a message. Conan opens that phone to check the message using the man’s fingerprint, and sees some terms that make him change his mind. He uncovers the yellow hoodie so everyone can understand that no one was killed, but Azusa believes he killed his own twin brother instead, so Conan has to take the head out of the jar to reveal that it is actually just water and a laminated photo of the front and sides of the kidnapper in yellow hoodie. He also reveals that the chopped-up finger is actually a sausage that was cut so it looks like what Azusa perceived. For the location that the two are being held at, Conan concludes it must have been a photography studio, specifically, it is the one for the game that Azusa is into. Then, as Conan finally finds the group chat consisting only of the kidnappers, he sends a message saying that he and Azusa are rampaging the location, oh dear!.

Finally, it is revealed that Azusa learnt that the game she is into would have its sequel being announced at midnight: ''Splatter III''. It is true that one of the kidnappers, namely '''Keisuke Omura''', could have simply told Azusa to keep it a secret, but there is one issue: Omura did hear the conversation between Ran and Sonoko when Masumi went to the bathroom, and misinterpreted the "two should not tell her because she is a lightweight into": ''the two should not tell her because she is light-lipped'', implying that she is not good at keeping secret. However, by the time Amuro, Masumi, Sonoko, and Ran arrive at the room where Conan and Azusa are being kept hostage, the four have already seen the three kidnappers apologize to Conan and Azusa for the misunderstanding. Nonetheless, the two decide to overlook this case because there is no actual crime that has happened, at the cost of the three giving six copies of the said game (two for them, four for the Detective Boys and Haibara) in return.

==== Aftermath ====

Ran recognizes the face of the guy complaining about the beef stew to be an owner of a café by the station, as she saw him advertising his new beef stew, which Conan comments on that guy’s nerve. Keita Kanamaru once again arrives at the Café Poirot, and the high school girls sitting with Conan are surprised when Azusa reveals Kanamaru filled in when the manager was in the hospital due to an injury. The reason he came, even though the manager is no longer in the hospital, is because of the rumour that Amuro and Azusa are dating, much to the shock of the latter two. The scene goes outside of the café as we see the old woman with the stroller once again.

=== Situation ===
At [[Café Poirot]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] are trying to solve a [[wikipedia:matchstick puzzle|matchstick puzzle]] given by Azusa: The puzzle gives five matches arranged as the number "ten". Change the position of only ''one'' match so that "ten" becomes "one" in at least one certain mean.
[[File:1204-1205-1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The matchstick puzzle]]
[[File:1204-1205-2.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The answer of the puzzle]]

[[Azusa Enomoto|Azusa]] mentions that they are allowed to put the initial configuration anywhere they want and use a different angle to look at the final configuration, Sonoko proposes an answer based on only Azusa’s second hint, but Conan says it is not valid because she ''hasn’t moved'' a single match. Sonoko gets angry and yells at him, in which he is scared and spills his glass of water in the process. Sonoko apologizes for shouting Conan while Ran cleans up the spilled water, then Masumi finds a right way to change "ten" into "one": Fold the towel so it can support a matchstick upright, then display the number ten again so the “0” is in the towel. Now put the final matchstick vertically with the modified towel. The final result is the one on a die. [[Furuya Rei|Amuro]] arrives at the table and comments that Masumi knew what to do when Conan spilled the glass of water purposely, to which Conan denies any relation while Masumi claims that she solved it on her own.

{{clear}}

==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko, thinking that there must be other matchstick puzzles that require one to ''take only one'' match to fulfil a certain requirement, decides to search for them on the Internet. However, she stumbles upon news of a murderer who ''takes one finger away'' from bodies that he killed as trophies. Masumi mentions that the murderer has been caught and confessed to their crime, but no one is certain if the criminal has accomplices or not, and their whereabouts, if they exist. Azusa says she has seen the face shown in the news somewhere, but she is not certain at the same time.

Kiyoshi Hante, the customer wearing a [[wikipedia:Bucket hat|fisherman’s hat]] while sitting at the table with his beef stew, calls Azusa to ask several questions about the dish since it feels similar to one he usually has at his favorite restaurant. Amuro gives the man a paper containing the ingredients, the amount of each, and how to handle them. He also reminds the man that the way the ingredients are handled depends on the condition of each ingredient. As Hante leaves Café Poirot while still coughing, Azusa again uses the same phrase she did for the face shown in the news, making Amuro and some of the audience to think if she is going to make a new [[wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]]. Just then, Reita Kanamaru, a customer wearing [[wikipedia:cap|a cap]], coughs behind her and Amuro. She asks if he is fine, he says yes, and asks if he can get extra coffee. Later, Azusa becomes shocked during the conversation with Keisuke Omura, the customer wearing a beanie, which makes him panic as he does not want something in their conversation to be revealed yet.

A moment later, Amuro finds the [[wikipedia:List of edible salts|herb salt]] being nearly empty when he is cooking pasta, so he asks Azusa to get some at the nearby supermarket. Azusa says she knew, but she couldn’t buy it because the item in the supermarket is out of stock. Conan, having been sent to the supermarket near [[Kudo residence|his house]] to get herb salt by [[Yukiko Kudo|his mom]] when he was small, tells the two about that store, even though it would take longer to travel. Azusa agrees to have Conan lead the way to that supermarket.

Masumi becomes concerned as the two have gone for thirty minutes. Sonoko optimistically says that the supermarket near Shinichi’s house must have also run out of herb salt. Suddenly, Ran receives a call from Conan, so she picks it up, asking if he got lost. He replies that the two are being followed by some suspicious people, which makes her more concerned about their safety as she then puts the call on speaker mode. The two at first wanted to cut the followers off so there won’t be any potential kidnapping toward the Café, but decided to have them subdued to the police station since they are almost back. Conan asks if Amuro can come out and pick them at the sidewalk opposite the Café. Amuro understands the situation and goes outside the Café, with the three girls following right after. In the sidewalk opposite to the four is Azusa waving at them, while Conan is still being cautious around, and an old woman walking with her baby stroller. Amuro is about to cross the road when there is an upcoming bus, forcing him to step back in order not to endanger anyone. However, right after the bus passes and no longer block the view between the two groups; Amuro, then Masumi, then Ran and Sonoko, are shocked to see that the two have disappeared. Everyone, having noticed the old woman, runs off to her to ask what happened to Azusa and Conan. From there, they understand that one of the kidnappers is one of the customers this morning.

The episode cuts to an undisclosed location where Azusa and Conan are being held. However, the two of them are simply tied together with a chain and two [[wikipedia:Padlock|padlocks]], one ankle each, with the chain also going through the fridge handle. She remembers that a black van stopped in front of them and she was then tased and fell unconscious. She then wonders what to do, as she is not able to wake Conan up.

She notices the fridge limiting her and Conan’s movement, and wants to have a drink to calm herself down. Little did she know how traumatized she will be when she see the upcoming content:

* Inside the fridge is a jar. The jar contains a head, which is enough to make her scared. However, if we look closely, we should realize that the head is unable to be put in the jar normally, or several jar factories would end up being investigated afterward.

* Azusa then falls to the floor, thinking what in the world is happening to her. Not long after she steps back from the fridge, she accidentally touches something with her left hand, so she instinctively turns to look that way, and she sees a chopped-up finger with bloodstain and a [[wikipedia:Hacksaw|hacksaw]] nearby. Another traumatizing scene!

She recalls Masumi’s words about the bizarre murderer, about the uncertainty of their accomplice, and thinks if the two were abducted by the remaining accomplices of that insane murderer. Suddenly, she hears the sounds of Conan’s [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], so she decides to answer its signal. It turns out that Ran, Sonoko, Masumi, and Amuro are using the spare detective badge in Conan’s room to contact the two. Azusa explains the situation, about what happened before the two got kidnapped, what she just saw in the room. However, the call is disrupted by two men wearing facemasks and hoodies as the two heard noise inside the room (one is wearing a blue hoodie and one is wearing a yellow hoodie). The man in yellow hoodie breaks the badge, but not completely as Amuro’s side is still able to eavesdrop on what is coming, while the man in blue communicates to the yellow guy about how long they will keep the hostages. However, Sonoko’s outburst upon hearing the time they have left alerts the two men as the man in yellow hoodie breaks it completely in a rage.

Masumi confirms the signal of the badge is unavailable while Ran wonders why the kidnappers aimed toward Conan and Azusa. Sonoko theorizes that it could be because of Azusa’s reaction when she saw the face shown in the news about the murder, in which Amuro and Masumi refute because Conan and Azusa would have been killed if that was the case. The four begin to examining the three sneezing customers:

* The first to be examined is Kiyoshi Hante. Firstly, Masumi theorizes that he is probably a staff of a restaurant who just wants to steal the recipe, Sonoko adds that the recipe Amuro gave the man might be a fake one, to which Amuro says he always gives the real one to anyone interested in a dish/drink. Ran theorizes that Hante wants to publish an e-book including the recipe he was given this morning, most likely to earn profit, but Masumi it is not plausible. Amuro recalls Azusa’s catch phrase, but shakes off his thought because she might probably have met him in a restaurant.

* The second man to be examined is Reita Kanamaru. Sonoko theorizes that Kanamaru was stalking Azusa and kidnapped her without thinking. Masumi reminds her that Conan also got kidnapped, and that the person he was looking at the most is actually Amuro. Amuro deduces that he must be a frequent regular because he told Amuro that there was extra herb salt under the counter.

* The third person is Keisuke Omura. Ran thinks he works for a game company because the label written on his bag is “Shudankan Bunko”, a company that publishes a lot of strategy guides. Sonoko mentions that Azusa is really into a game called Splatter 2, a game where one plays as a girl using scythe to slice killers and monsters. Masumi theorizes that the thing Omura did not want Azusa to share to everyone is how to beat Splatter 2, but Ran wonders how is it the case because Azusa couldn't have seen the screen from where she was standing. At the same time, Sonoko shows Ran and Masumi a picture which she assumes is how Azusa saw what Omura did not want her to.

Detective Conan Wiki talk:Manual of Style

2026-06-24T15:23:18Z

Tuan: /* We should split Case into two sections: Plot (the entire summary of the episode) and Case (only details about its mystery cases) */

==Opinion on the manual of style==
I think this is a good setup. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 21:16, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

== Naming convention ==

The rationale behind the convention can be summarized as follows:

'''Pros:'''
* Following the standard and precedence set in Wikipedia regarding the anime and manga universes (or even in a more generic way), names are displayed in the order: First_Name Last_Name. Example: [[wikipedia:Naruto_Uzumaki|Naruto Uzumaki]], [[wikipedia:Sasuke_Uchiha|Sasuke Uchiha]], [[wikipedia:Ichigo_Kurosaki|Ichigo Kurosaki]], etc...
* This is an English international wiki which aims at being as accessible as possible to a very broad audience and one of the main way of achieving this is by decreasing the possible levels of confusions that may arise. Following the first name/last name order makes it easier to understand for almost everyone (even to a Japanese audience). This may be one of the reasons Wikipedia also follows the same naming scheme.
* Most people, fans and readers know every or most characters on a first name basis and sometimes don't even know their last names. Giving priority to the first name in the name order makes it more reader-friendly.
* Since the creation of this wiki, 99% of names have been written this way (most often inspired by Wikipedia), setting a rule of "precedence".

'''Cons:'''
* In Japan, one's family name normally precedes one's first name and, depending on the context, one's last name is used to call him/her instead of his/her first name.

== Difference between Plot Overview and Background ==
*Plot Overview should be written in Present Tense, Background in Past Tense, in order to differenciate them.

== Categorizing Images ==

I think we have reached a critical point where we have enough pictures that categorizing them by type, episode/chapter, characters, etc. would be useful. I did a quick categorizing for five pictures shown below. Any input on the category names, what we should sort by, feasibility, etc?
*[[:File:TV_Episode_226-227.jpg]]
*[[:File:TV_Episode_225.jpg]]
*[[:File:Mrsmorita.jpg]]
*[[:File:Volume_4_File_039.jpg]]
*[[:File:Volume_4_File_036.jpg]]
*[[:File:Jirokichi never wins.png]]
In terms of priorities, I think stray images (not main episode image, not the people square images, not the crime infobox images, not character profiles) on pages would be the most important to categorize first because they are the most difficult to "find". [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 02:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

== Looking for a Consensus on Standard Romanization Procedure ==
Right, so I've noticed that we have very inconsistent romanization rules in use on the wiki as a whole, mostly stemming from names or words that use long vowel sounds. I'd like for all of us to reach a standard format of romanization to use throughout if at all possible.
===Romanization that seems to have been established===
* Use of katakana is ''not'' capitalized. It is written out in full. i.e. コナン is written "Konan" (in Japanese romanization sections only, such as in [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case|episode titles]]).
* If katakana usage is a foreign loan word, the katakana is written out in full; not translated. i.e. [[An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case]]'s romanized title is written as ''"Aidoru Misshitsu Satsujin Jiken"'' instead of ''"Idol Misshitsu Satsujin Jiken"''.
===Current problems/What still needs to be established===
* '''Macron usage/lack of macron usage'''. Macrons are now being used for romanized Japanese titles but not currently within many other titles or Japanese lyrics sections.
* '''Inconsistent naming procedures'''. We typically write out Kaitō Kid as "Kaitou Kid" to establish the name difference between Kid and Kaito Kuroba and because this is usually the way we see written throughout the English language fandom. We have followed suit for many other names, but even these are inconsistent. We currently write "Mouri" and "Hondou" but not "Satou" which we currently have written as "Sato" and "Kudou" which we currently have written as "Kudo". All of these names in modified Hepburn romanization would use the ō macron in place of the "ou", but we've previously established disregarding macron usage in names (see Kaitou Kid example above). Do we write out the long vowels in names and correct pages accordingly, or ''do we change "ou" to simply "o" minus the macron''? (i.e. "Mouri" would become "Mori", "Hondou" would become "Hondo".)
: '''Examples of characters the contain long vowels in their names but are not currently listed that way''':
:: [[Shinichi Kudo]] --> Shinichi Kudou
:: [[Yukiko Kudo]] --> Yukiko Kudou
:: [[Yusaku Kudo]] --> Yuusaku Kudou
:: [[Kazuha Toyama]] --> Kazuha Tooyama
:: [[Juzo Megure]] --> Juuzou Megure
:: [[Miwako Sato]] --> Miwako Satou
:: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] --> Ninzaburou Shiratori
:: [[Shintaro Chaki]] --> Shintarou Chaki
:: [[Heizo Hattori]] --> Heizou Hattori
:: [[Ginshiro Toyama]] --> Ginshirou Tooyama
: There are many more than those I have just listed.
===Opinions===
: '''skyechan's opinion''':
:: '''Macron usage''' - Stick to adding macrons in Japanese romanization of titles and lyrics. Standard exception being the use of long i ("ii") which should continue to be written as "ii".
:: '''Naming procedures''' - With the exception of "Kaitou Kid" for reasons I explained earlier establishing the difference between Kid and Kaito Kuroba, I think we should make it a standard now to '''simply drop the extra long vowels'''. As you can see from the partial listing above, we have far more characters where we do not write out the long vowels than those we currently do. Our [http://detektivconan-wiki.com/wiki/Hauptseite German counterparts] currently use this method of romanization on their [http://detektivconan-wiki.com/wiki/Hauptcharaktere character pages]. This in mind, we'd only need to change just a few names to match this standard (as opposed to writing out the long vowels and changing virtually everybody).

: '''Ocianne's opinion''':
:: '''Naming procedures''' - Isn't the short 'o', without either a macron or the following 'u', misleading? It changes the pronunciation of the name, which is part of why the 'u' is included in Kaitou Kid in the first place. If it's important enough to use with Kid, why not maintain it throughout the wiki? I would think consistency and accuracy should typically have a heavier weight than tradition.

: '''Chekhov's opinion''' (copied from forum page of same issue):
:: '''Macron usage''' - Don't use macrons for anything that will be typed often, like names (i.e. Kudo, not Kudō). Macrons are annoying to type, so no one would ever use them. They are probably not worth it because it would force the very few users who patrol edits to constantly fix everyone else. Places where macrons should be used are lyrics (where correct pronunciation is really important to someone using the lyrics for say karaoke), and "proper spellings" which won't get retyped a lot.
:: '''Naming procedures''' - I don't there is a good solution to this. Standardization is forever going to battle habituated fan spelling. "Fan spelling" has the advantage of making names easier for outside users to search for. "Fan spelling" also cuts down on the amount of correcting necessary by patrollers. Out of deference of the sheer mass of current usage, it makes sense to drop the extra long vowels, except in a few cases. (See below)
:: '''Specifics''' - There are several cases where I think the drop extra long vowel rule is less beneficial
::*Skyechan's aforementioned ii (as in Jii) to avoid the English short i sound, and Kaitou vs. Kaito
::*Common usage outside DC: 1) Nee-chan, 2) Tohto (best) or Touto instead of Toto (Old term for Tokyo often used as a copyright avoidance euphemism - the h form seems most common last I looked)
::*Mouri - A Gosho-acknowledged homage to ''Mauri''ce LeBlanc, keeping the "u" reinforces the connection. It's also going to be the hardest name to get people on board with doing differently IMO, so this would save the trouble.
::While I am here I would like to fish for an opinion on [[Talk:Jodie_Starling|Jodie's alias]][[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 22:37, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

==Galleries on Music pages==
Lately we've been getting a lot of screencaps for opening and ending sequences in which those screencaps are being placed under the current galleries for the CD images. Personally I preferred only choosing four main screencaps to place on the side of the lyrics section ala our German counterpart wiki because the screencap gallery at the bottom looks ''really'' tacky to me. (Granted on our pages in comparison to the German ones we have our screencaps on the right-hand side of the screen.) So I was curious of everyone's opinion on which way we should go.

'''''Regardless what we choose all screencaps with streaming site watermarks or subs must be removed/not used.'''''

''Examples of the two options'':
* [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Koi_ni_Koishite&oldid=102086 Koi ni Koishite] - Only four screencaps selected that best represent the sequence from the anime and placed on the right-hand side of the lyrics section. Gallery section only used for the CD images.
* [[Q&A]] - Gallery is divided into two sections; the CD images and images for each part of the animation sequence.

:As I stated above, I think capping the entire sequence is pretty tacky and doesn't look professional to me. (And in case you're wondering I don't like the Galleries for each episode either for the same reason, but that's not being discussed here.) '''I prefer following our German counterpart's idea of only selecting four screencaps that best encompass what the animation sequence is about.''' --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] ([[User talk:Skyechan|talk]]) 18:01, 14 August 2013 (PDT)

:I '''strongly oppose''' the four screenshot limit on principle; rules that artificially limit the amount expression is an unhealthy philosophy for a wiki. While I think it is wise the pare down image collections to only the most useful ones, that final number of images is probably not always four. Flexibility is a good thing, especially since there are multiple versions of an op or ed someone might want to screencap. The only hard upper ceiling to detail is taking so many screenshots it causes significant reproduction copyvio issues or server problems.
:Galleries are an efficient way of sorting many images, I don't think they are tacky or unprofessional looking. I also dislike large blocks of picture-less text. I'm fine using both inline images and a gallery the same time, even with duplications.

:I think the number of screencaps should be at least '''5''', even if we're going to apply any limitation. I'm neutral about where we put the images, they can be either on the right side of the lyrics or placed under a gallery. However, if we choose the latter, I suggest that we create a separate section for them. The current format used in [[Q&A]] (having TV screencaps placed under a "CD info" header) doesn't make much sense in my opinion. --- [[User:Black Demon|'''BLACK DEMON''']] | [[User talk:Black Demon|'''Reply''']] 19:30, 14 August 2013 (PDT)

== Need to codify what goes in character galleries before it gets out of hand ==

A while back I introduced galleries on character pages. I mostly used them for ±10 years images or other things of that nature, but I also used them as holding pens for orphaned images (I stopped doing that). It occurs to me now that character galleries have a potential to get out of hand. It would be bad if every image of each character wound up in their gallery. (That's what categories are for. I think it is worth making a serious push to add character categories to images.) I think the character galleries are useful in that they can be used for images which don't easily "fit" on the page but show aspects of a character that are worth noting like appearances in the future or past, Gosho's colored art, full body images/concept art, extremely characteristic scenes or poses, etc. At the same time we should nail down what doesn't go on gallery pages to avoid a massive image overflow.

== Should "name in other languages" be from official materials only? ==

Okay so I noticed that some editors have inserted foreign translations of Amuro's real name, as shown [[Tooru_Amuro#Rei_Furuya|here]]. It's obvious that other than the Japanese name, none of these translations are from official materials (because they couldn't have been released yet), and most likely based on fan scanlations. So should we use official information only, or allow fan translations to some degree? (This will also apply to [[Roller_Coaster_Murder_Case#In_oher_languages|episodes' names in other language]].)

===Opinions===
:'''Black Demon's opinion:''' I think we should stick to official information from legally authorized materials (i.e not fan-made in any way), even if the fan translations are technically accurate or the official volumes/episodes in question will never be released. The main problem with fan translations is that there may exist many variants for a certain character name or episode title (especially with the latter). With characters' names, this usually happens when people can only provide an approximate transliteration basing purely on the name's pronunciation, unless it is properly written down somewhere ("Jodie Saintemillion" before V.34 for example). Another reason why we should restrict them to official materials is because not every country has been licensed to release Conan. If we also open to fan-translations, then probably everyone in the whole world will add a "likely" transliteration for the names in their languages. I don't think we have enough space and there's no way to determine if those transliterations are even close to reasonable. Of course, the biggest problem when doing this is that we can't verify whether some certain name matches with the official one in a country not familiar to us, nor can we check if the country even released official Conan materials to begin with. <s>(Wait, is Conan even allowed in North Korea!??)</s> However, I don't see accepting fans' would solve this problem, if not make it worse. '''TL;DR: We should only use official translations because otherwise there will be variants, and people from every country will add some versions of their own. --- [[User:Black Demon|'''Black''']] [[User talk:Black Demon|★]] [[User:Black Demon|'''Demon''']] 15:52, 26 May 2014 (CEST)

:'''Opinion:''' I don't see the point of allowing fan-subs or scanlation names, they're the same as the Japanese one. Maybe the only difference is the script (in some languages). I prefer if we don't allow them, and write a comment in "In other languages" section warning editors not to write the names in other languages unless they're official. This can be done automatically to all articles using a bot or AutoWikiBrowser. --[[User:Al-mousawi|Al-mousawi]] ([[User talk:Al-mousawi|talk]]) 18:57, 26 May 2014 (CEST)

:'''Chekhov's opinion:''' Same as BD, so no unofficial names.

== Cast lists, order draft ideas. ==

Several users have expressed displeasure that cast lists keep being rearranged. I think the only way to deal with this is to codify a style for the MoS. Several different rulesets are possible so I would like to canvas for ideas. 
I would also like to propose a policy addendum that anyone who makes a ''regular habit'' of nitpicking at the cast lists after they are put in the MoS format will be put on cast list probation, which can result in temporary banning if repeatedly violated. I figure that such a policy would be a balance between allowing editors fix a few particular pages they feel strongly about, while preventing editors from making a trivial editing career out of mucking with the cast lists. 
Lastly, I have put a poll on the main forum in whether police officers should be listed by full name, or by title+name.

=== Chekhov's proposal (anime pages, not volumes) ===
First: Conan (Or Shinichi for the first episode and that one episode without Conan) 
Second: the main featured characters of a case in rough order of their importance to that case. This is the only situation where a flashback or voice character could wind up early in the cast list rather than the end. eg (Kaitou Kid, Makoto, Sonoko) (Okiya, Amuro, Akai) (Shinichi (flashback), Ran) (Haibara, Ayumi) 
Third: Characters who are not the stars of the case, sorted by rareness and rough chronological order. Characters who come in pairs or groups, as long as one member isn't a star for an episode while the others are not, are kept together as a cluster. Examples of groups are the Detective Boys, the main Japanese police, FBI, Black Organization. 
Fourth: Flashbacks, minor characters with little speaking roles, background chars, cameos, voices, on pictures, etc in rough order of appearance and importance. 

== Appearances in recaps ==

For appearances pages/cast lists for episodes we don't count OPs, EDs, next Conan hints, other stingers, etc. Currently recaps at the beginning do count though. Should those be excluded too? I personally think so, since they aren't actually new content. Thoughts?

== Naming this Page (Suggestion) ==

I think '''Manual of Style''' might not right, how about name it ''Styling Standard'' or ''Styling Requirements''

== We should split Case into two sections: Plot (the entire summary of the episode) and Case (only details about its mystery cases) ==

This is what I'm proposing for it to change for the Manga chapters/episodes/movies/OVAs/TV specials pages.

We should split the '''Case''' section into '''two separate sections''' focusing on their retrospective topics: ''Plot being the full summary of the episode (case included, but written like how ConanWiki summarizes), while Case would detail about the mystery cases present in the material (situations, suspects, culprit, evidence, method, motive)''

My main issue into having both Plot and Case merged into one section is that two topics are in conflict with each other. Even though, it's about a series that focuses on mystery cases, there are ton of times where the case details '''(specifically the sub-sections made for them)''' overall distracts from the material summaries and other times there aren't any cases present, making the "Case" section pointless. To put in simply, we can't focus on both in one section without messing with how the episodes are summarized.

I found the current Case sections to be messy and a bit disoriented. So that's why I'm giving an efficient solution.

Separating in two sections would make things easy and it can have a consistent focus between them. The Plot section would be simply summarizing the plot of the material, allowing the non-case events to be told without conflicting with the case stuff (it does '''NOT''' mean the case summarizes won't be present, since they're part of the episode events, but it won't be told with infoboxes and per each sub-section to avoid disorganization). The Case section is where the infoboxes will go (Situation, People) and where stuff like Evidence, Method, Motive can be told as it was in Case sections.

I made a sandbox page demonstrating what I mean by this: [[User:DavidHolandaOne/sandbox/Plot_and_Case_section_separation|Plot and Case section separation]]

:: Things that were still in mind are: Is the plot summary of an episode different from the episode's summary in season section? Also, what is then have to be removed from case section? --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 23:43, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

:::: The plot section will be a long one, basically what ConanWiki have in their episode pages. [[Yaiba Appears (Yaiba: Samurai Legend episode)]] and [[Chihaya Hagiwara, Goddess of the Wind]] (which it's in Case section currently) are great examples of what we do with Plot section. So yeah, it's different from the episode's summary in season section.

::::The case boxes will be moved to its own Case section (a new one), and we add the information about the mystery case(s) itself(themselves): Situation, Suspects, Culprit, Evidence, Method, Motive. If you've seen the sandbox page, you could get the clear idea of what I'm trying to propose with this idea. --[[User:DavidHolandaOne|DavidHolandaOne]] ([[User talk:DavidHolandaOne|talk]]) 00:51, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::::Oh, to answer the second question, what's gonna be removed (and moved to the new Case section) are just the situation boxes, people boxes and the Evidence, Method, Motive sub-sections, so we don't make the plot section confusing in terms of telling the events chronologically. '''ONLY the boxes and sub-sections that list culprit/evidence/method/motive stuff (although rewritten a bit to accommodate the new Case section). Basically stuff that are unconventional to a traditional summary of the whole episode(s)'''. The Plot section won't leave out the mystery case themselves, they're just gonna be traditional long plot summary, like in ConanWiki pages of the episodes. --[[User:DavidHolandaOne|DavidHolandaOne]] ([[User talk:DavidHolandaOne|talk]]) 01:01, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

::::I watched the sandbox just now. However, we need ''more'' and ''better'' editors if we want to implement that. For case section, I think the people sub-section and unrelated to the case should have a little rework.

I used to write season summary, but I somehow ended up writing episode's case section as well. Check episode [[The Spiral of Rain and Malice|1062]], the first episode I wrote in case section (not resolution).

=== Collection of short summary I wrote ===
* Episode [[I Cannot Lie to Archery|1202]] : The episode page only include the victim, the suspects and what they did.
* Episode [[Arrest That Face|1184]] : I see someone looking like a wanted criminal. I want to chase that man, but a stranger insists on him doing that alone. When me and my friends catch up to him, the man has already fallen on the river. {{cover|In the end, the man is just having bad luck due to his face being similar to the wanted person, but why the person we met are either bad guys or victims?}}
* Episode [[Mystery of the Lost Treasure|1120]] : Why you come? How generous! But I'm going to move away for some reorganization. {{cover|Oh dear! You are a naughty cat, but I wouldn't mind you break that vase. I have already made another! And hey, I'm going to retire, but not like I won't teach ya!}}

=== List of longgggg summary I wrote ===
* Episode [[Who Kidnapped Conan and Azusa|1204-1205]]: Even though the idea was looking at the manga summary and write (or rewriting if necessary), it is uneasy.
* Episode [[The Spiral Mansion Mystery|1195-1196]]: Literal hell for what I've gone through with this two-parter anime original.
* Episode [[It's a Ghost!|1173]]: Last case of 2025 summer.
* Episode [[The Mystery of the Man-Eating Classroom|1169-1170]]: Why on earth did I describe a rumour in such details?
* Episode [[Momiji Ooka's Sweet Trap|1135-1136]]:
* Episode [[Takagi and Date and the Notebook Promise|1109-1110]]: Did I write the resolution of this case? Still can't recognize my own writing for some reason.

==To do list==
===Prioritised work===
*Season 31 episode summary.
*Upcoming Vietnamese's Official Dub episodes name.
*Use google document to make sure there are no grammar error, make '''logical sense''' with the summary.
