Appearances:

Sera (世良真純 Sera ??) is a self proclaimed high school detective and practitioner of the martial art Jeet Kune Do. After making an mostly correct deduction during a murder case, she transfers to Ran's high school class. She seems to know that Conan is a detective.

Background

Sera is a high school detective and skilled at Jeet Kune Do, a type of martial arts. She transfers in Ran and Sonoko's class at Teitan High. Little else is known about her background.

Appearance

At first, she wears a fedora and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears appropriate female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders.

Personality

Sera has a friendly and quirky personality. She fails to correct Sonoko's impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is "his type".[1] She seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than Shinichi or Hattori as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. Although she has crime scene experience[2], Sera seems to be less skilled as a detective than Conan, missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked. Her catchphrase may be "case closed".

Plot overview

Sera first met Sonoko, Ran, and Conan on a bus after she was mistaken for a groper. After Sonoko declared Sera was the groper, Sera and Ran got into a fight, with Sera's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Sera cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Sera for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Sera declaring that Ran was "his type".[1] Sera and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel.

Sera finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Sera told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well.

Megure is not pleased to have another High School Detective underfoot but lets Sera and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Sera announces that she has solved the case.

Speculation

Sera mentioning Conan's name.

Sera knew Conan and Ran's identities before they introduced themselves, and she additionally recognized Conan as a detective. This may indicate Sera has done research or follows stories about Conan's achievements or that she has had direct or indirect contact with Conan and Ran. However, Ran and Conan didn't recognize Sera. Sera might be one of Ran's martial arts rivals, although Ran, did not recognize her.

Another possibility is that Sera could be Bourbon from the Black Organization, though that is starting to look unlikely due to the fact that Bourbon is thought to be a male while Sera is a female.

Trivia

  • Sera has bags under her eyes identical to Akai Shuuichi's leading to speculation they are related.
