| Namako re-reads the [[Manga]] by [[Gosho Aoyama]] and makes some quick notes about a lot of things. Characters and locations are listed by order of appearance for every chapter. You are welcome to bore the heck out of yourself. :D
| |
|
| |
| I actually started this re-read a long while ago and wrote down these things, which I will just dump on this page. Feel free to put anything you might find useful into the Wiki proper.

| '''Plot'''
| |
|
| |
| [[Shinichi Kudo]] is a well known high school detective solving case after case, already acknowledged as a great help for the Japanese police. On a date with his secret love [[Ran Mouri]], the daughter of an unsuccessful private detective, he gets to clear up another murder and follows two mysterious guys on their way to an illegal weapons deal afterwards, where he gets beaten up and fed some new kind of poison, allegedly killing someone without leaving a trance. To his own (but probably not the reader's) surprise, he "just" shrinks to the height of an elementary school student...
| |
|
| |
| '''General stuff'''
| |
| * This chapter had the first few pages colored with water colors in its original release
| |
| * [[Takanori Sewa]]'s, [[Reiko]]'s (Hitomi's friend) and [[Kishida]]'s names are only given in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small]] and the [[Anime]] series respectively
| |
| ** Kishida's name could also be an allusion to [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s assistant [[Koichi Kishida]]
| |
| * [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Ran Mouri]] are in the second year of [[Teitan High School]]
| |
| * Shinichi is already well known as a high school detective; Ran is captain of the Karate team
| |
| * The town and city they live in was still unknown, but it looked rather suburban back then
| |
| * Shinichi promised Ran to take her to [[Tropical Land]] if she won the city tournament
| |
| * Tropical Land itself is probably a composite of different popular amusement parks in and around [[Tokyo]], especially [[Wikipedia:Tokyo Disneyland|Tokyo Disneyland]] and [https://www.summerland.co.jp/english/ Summer Land].
| |
| * The plane on the back of the jacket the guy in front of the Mystery Coaster wears looks a bit like the same type of Japanese warplane [[George Kirishima]] flew as a toy in ''[[Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories#Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy|Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy]]''
| |
| * [[Gin]]'s hair seems relatively short (down to his shoulder blades) in comparison to later on
| |
| * The first time a crow appears in relation to an appearance by the [[Black Organization]]
| |
| * "These kind of things happen a lot..." - "NO, THEY DON'T!" <- lol, considering everything Ran chronologically experienced before this chapter alone, as we learn later down the line...
| |
| * The first explanations about the APTX, courtesy of Gin: "We will use this... The new poison that the organization developed... You can't find any traces of poison in the body with this stuff... The perfect crime!! We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this will be our little guinea pig..."
| |
| ** Interesting, so that means the list of the poisoned victims was started after Shinichi? But [[Koji Haneda]] is listed on it too, so it also contains the names of victims of [[Silver Bullet]] and/or other poison(s)? Why are the names of victims of different kinds of poisons on one and the same list, what is the purpose of it exactly?
| |
|
| |
| '''Easter Eggs, Cameos & Crossover'''
| |
| * The [[Tropical Land]] appeared before in Chapter 4 ([[Magic Kaito Volume 1]], Chapter 4) of this series, also as the place for a date of its two protagonists ([[Kaito Kuroba]] and [[Aoko Nakamori]]).

|
| |

| '''Plot'''
| |
|
| |
| After being found by the security guards in his shrunken form and mistaking him for a kid, [[Shinichi Kudo]] escapes the [[Tropical Land]]'s medical room to get back to his own home. After a troublesome way back to his house, he meets his family's neighbour and old friend Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa]], who he quickly convinces about his real identity. Unfortunately, [[Ran Mouri]] also arrives shortly after, looking for Shinichi out of concern since he's missing since their date at the amusement park. Agasa and Shinichi quickly invent the persona of [[Conan Edogawa]], moving him in with Ran and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], in the [[Mouri Detective Agency]]. After arriving there, Kogoro literally crashes into them, telling about the first case he got in a long time...
| |
|
| |
| '''General stuff'''
| |
| * This chapter had a watercolor drawing as a cover in its original release
| |
| * This chapter was in real life released on the exact date [[Shinichi Kudo]] was reading the newspaper after school in FILE.1
| |
| * First appearance of the [[Kudo residence]], which probably was based on the same model (or a very similar one) to [[Akako Koizumi]]'s house from ''[[Magic Kaito]]''. Even [[Gosho Aoyama]] himself joked about this in the Omake of [[Magic Kaito Volume 5]].
| |
| * What does the piece of paper at the table in the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] say? In the German translation it kinds looks like "Romance series 'China Wok'", but it isn't really decipherable either.
| |
| * The shrunken Shinichi got from [[Tropical Land]] to his home pretty quickly, considering his new body and that he went by foot. This seems to imply that his residential street and the amusement park aren't very far apart.
| |
| * [[Hiroshi Agasa]] is described by Shinichi as a "lousy inventor" or that he thinks he's "a genius", but "everything [he] invents is utter crap" (depending on the translation) - either Gosho changed/retconned his characterization quickly (considering the indeed working gadgets he already starts creating only 4 chapters later) or Shinichi was just being salty because of his current situation?
| |
| * Some of the books in the Kudo residence:
| |
| ** At least three volumes (or copies?) of "[[Wikipedia:Edogawa Ranpo|Ranpo Edogawa]]: Collected Works"
| |
| ** At least volume 1 - 9 of "[[Wikipedia:Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]]: His Best Cases"
| |
| *** These seem to be the books Shinichi uses to create his new name.
| |
| ** "Murder in London"
| |
| ** "The golden[Concealed]" (maybe "[[Wikipedia:The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez|The Golden Pince-Nez]]" from Holmes canon?)
| |
| ** "The Price of Love"
| |
| ** "Mystery" (probably just the name of the genre on the spine of the book?)
| |
| ** "WHO[Concealed]" (:D)
| |
| ** "The Story of DEA[Concealed]" ("dead"...? "Death"? Or is it a book about the [[Wikipedia:Drug Enforcement Administration|DEA]]?)
| |
| ** "John Wang - The Gallow of Honour"
| |
| ** "The Perfect Murder" (Scheint egtl. der Name eines Krimifilms von 1991 zu sein?)
| |
| ** "[[Wikipedia:P. D. James|P. D. James]]: [[Wikipedia:The Black Tower|Black Tower]]"
| |
| ** Lewis Carroll - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
| |
| ** Something by A. C. Gardner without decipherable title - did he actually mean [[Wikipedia:John Gardner (American writer)|J. C. Gardner]] or [[Wikipedia:John Gardner (British writer)|J. E. Gardner]], who wrote ''[[James Bond]]'' continuations?
| |
| ** "[[Wikipedia:True crime|True Crimes - The Unsolved Cases]]"
| |
| ** "Dangerous Company"
| |
| ** "Mystery From Overseas - Deadly Conference"
| |
| ** "Sam Andrews - Alibi"
| |
| ** Something by Tsuzuki Michio (known for ''[[Wikipedia:Black Tight Killers|Black Tight Killers]]'', besides other stories)
| |
| ** [[Wikipedia:Robert Louis Stevenson|Robert Louis Stevenson]] - [[Wikipedia:Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Dr. JIKIL and HIDE]]<sub>(sic)</sub>
| |
| ** "The Corpse[Concealed]" (?)
| |
| ** "Case[Concealed]" (?)
| |
| ** "Gordon: Short Stories"
| |
| ** [[Wikipedia:L. Frank Baum|Lyman Frank Baum]]: (The) "[[Wikipedia:The Road to Oz|Road to Oz]]"
| |
| ** [[Gosho Aoyama]]: "[[Magic Kaito Volume 1]]" (:D)
| |
| * Ran: "Wow! I'm always amazed at how many books there are!! And they're all mystery novels..." <- This means ''Alice in Wonderland'', ''The Road to Oz'' and ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' are mystery novels too? :D Well, at least his inspiration [[Arsène Lupin]] is considered mystery...
| |
| * Ran: "How old are you?" - Conan: "Sixte... I mean... Six!!" <- First confirmation of Shinichi's age being 16
| |
| * Ran is actually already making a pretty unambiguous love confession to Shinichi, unconsciously of course, if one doesn't count that short moment in the Mystery Coaster.
| |
| * The Mouri Detective Agency in turn doesn't really seem far away from the Kudo residence, considering that Ran could quickly run to it and return with Conan in the span of a presumably short walk and talk.
| |
| * "DRINKING AND MAHJONG AGAIN?!" <- He really seems to do this a lot, lol
| |
| * The street in front of the Mouri Detective Agency is remarkably wider and the surroundings aren't as high-rise and densely built-up than later on.
| |
| * In contrary to the settings before, the (real) Yayoi District Mr. Tani lives in seems to be a bit farther away, judging by the fact that they have to use a taxi to reach it.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mistakes'''
| |
| * [[Gin]] knocked out Shinichi right in front of the concrete base of the [[Tropical Land]]'s ferris wheel in the previous chapter, but now, woken up in his shrunken form, he is lying a good distance away from it. Did those two drag him away from it a bit so his corpse wouldn't be found immediately or is it really an oversight?
| |
|
| |
| '''Easter Eggs, Cameos & Crossover'''
| |
| * [[Magic Kaito Volume 1]] is one of the books in the shelf [[Conan Edogawa]] is standing in front of when cornered by [[Ran Mouri]].
| |
| * Mr. Tani's name is taken from [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s assistant [[Yutaka Tani]].
| |
|
| |
| '''Adaptions'''
| |
| * ''[[Detective Conan]]'', [[Anime]], Episode 2: [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]] ([[Season 1]], Episode 2)
