Rum (ラム Ramu?) is the second-in-command of the Black Organization and the second main antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Photo of Asaka.

Rum is the close aide of the boss of the Black Organization, then he/she is their second-in-command. His/her identity, sex and mission are currently unknown.

Rum was involved with the death of Kohji Haneda, seventeen years ago. Gin implies that it is an incident in which Rum had screwed up. The main suspect is Asaka, the missing bodyguard of Amanda Hughes.

It has been heavily implied that Rum is one of these three main suspects: Hyoue Kuroda, Rumi Wakasa, and Kanenori Wakita. In the Black SDB+ 2018, Gosho Aoyama confirmed that Rum is one of the three. They are all interested in Shinichi Kudo and Rum charges Bourbon to gather information about him.

Personality

Bourbon has told Conan that Rum is exceedingly impatient.

Appearance

Rum has a damaged eye which has been replaced with an artificial eye. It is unknown which eye was damaged.

Various Black Organization members have given conflicting accounts of his/her overall appearance and build. Some say Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he/she looks feminine, and some say he/she is an old man. The conflicting descriptions of Rum's appearance suggests that he/she doesn't present himself to others in a straightforward fashion. Open spoiler box to see images.

Appellations

Plot overview

Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: 906-908, Anime: 792-793)

Haibara visualizes his/her three black figures, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.

Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: 951-953, Anime: 863-864)

Conan visualizes Rum as a black figure, just like his/her three black figures with fake eyes later in the anime version.

Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: 1008, Anime: 942)

Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".

Non-canon plot overview

The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: 20)

Rum contacting Vermouth.

Rum doesn't appear in this movie directly:

  • Haibara visualizes his/her three black figures as in file 906, and his/her artificial eye in her hallucination.
  • Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and Kir because he/she received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs.
  • Rum also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.
  • When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his/her right-handed agent.
  • Vermouth has a conversation with him/her during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he/she has to say before hanging up.

Relationships analysis

Black Organization

The Boss

The boss is his/her only direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him/her the most.

Gin

It is unlikely that Rum and Gin have already worked together. Gin is an executive agent in the Black Organization and he is always directly supervising things when it comes to confronting the organization's risks. Gin's ignoring of the case involving Rum seventeen years ago means that it is a threat to Rum and not to the organization.

Curaçao

Rum contacting Curaçao.

Curaçao is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent, but has only appeared in the non-canon movie. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but Rum decided to appoint her as her right-hand agent.

Suspects

Character inspiration

Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character Colonel Sebastian Moran in the Sherlock Holmes' series to create the Black Organization second-in-command. He was the Professor Moriarty's right hand man and "the second most dangerous man in London".

Trivia

Lum Invader
  • His/her enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show Kamen Yaiba.[2]
  • Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses or honeys, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. It's the liquor pirates often drink.
  • Gosho Aoyama, as a crossover joke, has introduced Lum Invader, the female protagonist from the manga Urusei Yatsura, as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.
  • In a joke by the author, Rum has already appeared, taking that appearance at or before file 906. This is a reference to the cameo by Lum here.
  • In the hand-drawn poster by Gosho Aoyama for The Darkest Nightmare, Conan is riding a black horse on fire, that represents nightmare. The title of the movie confirmed the horse is Rum.
