Black Demon

I personally think that Gosho purposely avoids adding another character who has the same personality as Gin (assume that Toru is really Bourbon). After all, what makes Gin so unique and special among the rest of the BO is his cold blood. If there exists another guy who acts the same, Gin will be likely to lose his "spotlight". And I really like it when there actually is a variety of personalities within the Orgs., which makes things somewhat more interesting: Gin: Cold-blooded, distrustful. Vermouth: Mysterious, manipulative, while a little bit sympathetic. Vodka: Inexperienced, but loyal, and somewhat helpful (at least to Gin). Chianti: Enjoys killing. Korn: Emotionless, anti-social. Sherry (if counts): Sarcastic, also secretive. Rye (if counts): Lone wolf. Bourbon (if he's Toru): From what I've seen so far, he has a unique personality. I don't really know what is the right word to describe it. Playful ??? However, his hatred/rivalry towards Akai is indeed a serious thing, especially if it does involve Akemi after all. Anyway, this is off-topic, but speaking of Akemi, does anyone know exactly what happened to the Char x Lalah x Amuro love-triangle in the end ? Back to topic:

I myself am not a fan of Gaga. I only like some of her songs, such as "Bad Romance", "Telephone", "Judas"... but she indeed has a good voice.

Dear Anonymous, That is disturbing in so many levels. Especially when you're eating your meal >_< Do you know exactly what kind of "sexy clothes" she's gonna wear ? Signed, BD.

Dear Anonymous, I'm sorry but I laughed really hard reading about your sister XDDDD Signed, BD

I personally prefer McDonald, but in Beijing where I live, KFC is kinda good too. I eat both

Those made my head explodes :P

Exactly what I did Who has time to learn all those codes ?

These Gundam references are just getting more and more obvious. I surely hope that it's not some kind of red-herring this time. Anyway, thanks for the translation.

Exactly. It is not a very nice thing to put examples here, so I didn't. But if you want, I can PM you some of the most ridiculous things that were "translated" back then...

The version that was published in my country at that time was very poorly translated. They changed the whole dialogues and replaced them with some crappy sentences from nowhere. Every important clues was damaged. They made Jodie talks things that only Vermouth knows, and also the other way around (because they thought that those two were the same person so it "didn't really matter"). They made Haibara concluding that Jodie was Vermouth from the beginning, while the original dialogue was something else. They even changed Vermouth's inner thought so it matched the fact that she's Jodie. Therefore every single person in my country was seriously mislead. When Vol. 42 was published, everyone (including me) was really shocked and thought that Gosho Aoyama had made the serious plot-hole ever, and most people started to hate Gosho and decided not to read Conan afterwards; thus created a bad effect on the series. They'd had no idea that it was the translators' fault, until the Conan manga & anime were uploaded online. Yet nowadays there're still a few people who have no idea and still blame Gosho. Even after countless times re-published, the press still made the same mistakes. Thankfully that the newest Conan manga series today is much more well translated.

This is indeed a normal case because we still haven't reached the big "800" yet. However, judging from the situation, it seems that Gosho is making some kind of "preparation" before the showdown comes. But I'm still iffy about this, since everything could just have been red herrings.

I fear... that I'm actually a ghost who haven't yet moved on.

I know these too, although I don't really have many knowledge about the Gods themselves

That is not a very wise thing to say. Be careful what you wish for, especially when it involves death. That "future" may be next year, next month, or even next week; which means that if your "hope" is granted, you cannot live any longer. Not to mention that the cause of your death may be cancer... Not really. But based on the increasing of the factors that cause cancers (e.g. pollutions, toxic chemicals, unhealthy foods...), I think I can say that I'm not very surprised...

Not that I'm surprised

What if the true identity of The Boss will never be revealed ? So it is up to the readers to put the clues together and deduce it themselves ?

The food that I cook is described as "poisonous", but I cannot imagine that you're so much worse than me :V

^ Those characters.

I don't think I even have such a thing called "free time" anymore Note: I'm actually buried deeply in a bunch of HW right now...

I like it when this "Chatroom" section gets more and more academic, not just the place for negative emotions to be spread
