Rumi Wakasa (若狭留美 Wakasa Rumi?) is the new Deputy Homeroom Teacher at Teitan Elementary school for Year 1 Class B.

Background

Due to an increase in the number of transfer to students to Teitan Elementary school over the past year, they have hired new teachers. Rumi is the new Deputy Homeroom Teacher for Year 1 class B.

Personality

Her personality seems to be that of a really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the Detective Boys on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of the Detective Boys, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face.

Appearance

Abilities

Although not directly seen, it seems that she is a skilled fighter. It is unknown what style she uses.

Appellations

Plot overview

Rumi about to attack the robbers.

The Old Warehouse of Teitan Elementary School (Manga: File 966-968, Anime: TBA)

Sumiko Kobayashi introduces her class to the new Deputy Homeroom teacher, Rumi Wakasa. Rumi approaches the Detective Boys for their help retrieving quicklime from the old warehouse in the school yard which causes them to come across a dead body. Over the course of the case Rumi uses her clumsiness to give hints to Conan on how to solve the case. Once she was out of their sight, her personality completely changed and she beat up a few robbers.

Speculation

Wakasa Rumi is suspiciously similar to the dying message "ASAKA RUM" that Kohji Haneda left when he was killed.

Rumi is not Rum

Rumi is unlikely to be Rum because the Black Organization has no motive to flaunt Kohji's dying message, Haibara did not react to Rumi, and Rumi does not appear to have any vision problems that would suggest a false eye.

There is no apparent benefit the Black Organization would gain from publicly flaunting Kohji's dying message as a name. The Black Organization appears to want to cover up the message since they have sent Vermouth and Amuro to investigate possible references to it, and someone with significant reach is actively scrubbing the internet of information from the past murder case. It would also not make sense for the vital number two of the Organization to flaunt their identity where FBI agents have worked previously.

Haibara directly interacted with Rumi, yet Rumi did not trigger her ability to detect Black Organization agents. Rumi did not appear to recognize Haibara either, instead focusing her attention on Conan.

Lastly, Rumi's actions, while perhaps intentionally clumsy, do not show she has any vision problems. Most importantly she demonstrated that she has functional peripheral vision on both her left[1] and right[2] sides. This strongly implies both of her eyes are intact because someone with a false eye will lack peripheral vision on one side.

Relationships analysis

Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys

Rumi is the new Deputy Homeroom teacher for Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of Professor Agasa's gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the flashlight watch, the detective badge, and the tranquilizer dart.

Sumiko Kobayashi

Name origin

Most likely her name is meant to resemble "ASAKA RUM", the code from Kohji Haneda's death from 17 years ago, with the addition of a W and an I.
