			==Timeline==
			===1998-2000===
			The anime started being dubbed and was airing episodes on Qatar TV.
			===2000-2013===
			On March 31st 2000, The (at the time) new children’s TV block on Bahrain TV called Spacetoon started airing Detective Conan, the block got really popular and it became a TV channel, Detective Conan was and still is one of Spacetoon’s biggest hits and the show quickly gained a community and Conan’s name became so big that to some places, it even surpassed Sherlock Holmes’ popularity, Conan even had his very own live show called “Conan On Air” where Conan tests kids’ logic.
			[[File:TheResultofConanMania.jpg\|thumb\|A 3D model used frequently for advertisements in the 2000’s.]] <br>
			Though the show had some minor censorship; it was mostly kept intact, but Spacetoon was involved in some big controversy surrounding the possible dangers of anime and starting episode 124, the anime became heavily censored with things such as rewriting criminal’s motives and changing certain Black Organization codenames due to the alcohol references, but the large community criticized Spacetoon for the changes calling the dub childish, around that time; a heavily rewritten illegal dub using the same voices from the original Arabic dub started airing on another channel called Basma TV that focused on religion and often replaced certain scenes with narrations of Hadiths; the Basma dub also changed characters’ names (such as Conan being renamed to Kamal ibn Al Qadi Mansour) and removed Shinichi; 15-20 episodes were dubbed before it stopped being dubbed and mysteriously briefly aired again a few years after, The dub was produced by Tihama Advertising and Public Relations in Saudi Arabia.
			the Spacetoon dub eventually went back to how it was before starting episode 235.
			===2013-2014===
			The dub took a year long hiatus from July 29 2013 to September 10 2014 before returning with JP episode 345 (Kaitou Kid’s Miraculous Mid-Air Walk).
			===2014-2019===
			The dub had taken another, much longer hiatus lasting from November 27 2014 to May 29 2019.
			===2019-Now===
			The dub comes back with it’s 9th season on May 29 2019 with JP episode 379, the dub has no changes except for the new intro and outro themes.

	The studio would then adopt an ultra-conservative censorship, going as far as editing out entire scenes with women without long pants (skirts, jupes, and clothes exposing top cleavage, while tolerated before, are no longer allowed) and replacing them with long frozen frames, criminal confessions rewritten to have almost the same script about remorse and how awful they are instead of the actual motives stated in the Japanese original, Black Organization code names (save for Gin, and "~~Belmutt~~") altered or replaced to remove alcohol references starting with episode 126 onward (Vodka becoming Vokka), and even altering plot-relevant episodes featuring them and introducing several continuity errors (like making Gin a "leader of the BO" who "knows about Sherry's (adult) face and that little boy") which wouldn't be fixed until later episodes accurately translating it.

	Initially dismissing negative fan reception as "overly kiddy", claiming the dub was targeting a children audience, the studio aimed to target a teen audience much later starting with episode 235 onward, where, while some episodes are still heavily censored, many darker themes are allowed again, along with women with skirts - ones with clothes not reaching knees or covering enough cleavage would have some colored overlay covering it.

	The show went on to become the center of a controversy surrounding multiple real-life suicide cases involving children imitating the suicide case in episode 26, as well as the Pokémon controversy (originally started by the trading cards being used for "gambling") where local religious clerics would try and associate elements of anime with satanism and degrading youth's education.		The show went on to become the center of a controversy surrounding multiple real-life suicide cases involving children imitating the suicide case in episode 26, as well as the Pokémon controversy (originally started by the trading cards being used for "gambling") where local religious clerics would try and associate elements of anime with satanism and degrading youth's education.

	The studio would then adopt an ultra-conservative censorship, going as far as editing out entire scenes with women without long pants (skirts, jupes, and clothes exposing top cleavage, while tolerated before, are no longer allowed) and replacing them with long frozen frames, criminal confessions rewritten to have almost the same script about remorse and how awful they are instead of the actual motives, Black ~~Organisation~~ code names (save for Gin, and "Belmutt") altered or replaced to remove alcohol references starting with episode 126 onward (Vodka becoming Vokka), and even altering plot-relevant episodes featuring them and introducing several continuity errors (like making Gin a "leader of the BO" who "knows about Sherry's (adult) face and that little boy") which wouldn't be fixed until much later episodes are accurately translated. Any references to suicide or romance was removed, or occasionally replaced with "Ran, so when is your wedding taking place?".
