  1. Burn, from the later posts, you can see that he's doing well, now. He attended a gaming event a little while after the announcement and the new files have just been announced for mid-May.
  2. "Panda and the Magic Serpent" from 1958. Haven't seen it since I was a kid. Still pretty good.
  3. I'm mentioned in an issue of Entertainment Weekly.
  4. I know the feeling. I like to give all the KUDOs (forgive the pun) I can.
  5. News on the horizon courtesy of Conan #1 in the DCTP spoiler C-Box. According to a Chinese translator, the hiatus ends on May 13, as file 921, concerning how Shinichi and Ran met, will be released!
  6. Also hate to spoil anything since I hate giving the entire plot away, but to get any additional buzz going, I was also thinking of elevating Masumi's potential as well. Since a bunch of people wanted her to be Bourbon, I was considering as the FBI kidnappings/assaults get more and more severe, Amuro (real name this time) makes himself known in an unsuspiscious way (not sure if it would/should be drastically different from his official one;i.e. hooking up as Kogro's apprentice) as does Masumi joining Ran's class. Only unlike before, the comment she had made in her previous appearance indicates an actual attraction to her. She "buddies up" with Sonoko and she, casually flirts with her, while denying anything serious, and sort of makes depressed monologues talking to Ran about her dead brother Shuichi possibly faking his death and how Shinichi may in fact be playing Ran in a similar way.
  7. Thanks so much, Chek. Yes, I believe they were from #50. I apologize for not letting you know.
  8. Some more, from an earlier Q&A session courtesy of c61515555 in the Spoiler C-Box: Q12: plz draw conan being sick or close to death, that kind of dangerous story. Gosho: i used to draw his being sick often. maybe something will happen in the future Q17: how much does Genta weigh? gosho: dont know...池中玄太 is 80 kilograms (176 lbs.) Q24: do u go online to see ppl's plot predictions? if yes, how do u feel? Gosho: sometimes. when they predict correctly, i think "wow they r good!" and even when that happens, i dont think of changing the plot. (I know he means the Japanese ones, but, Chek, I'm lookin' at you..) Q67: hi gosho sensei! since u cant tell us who the anokata is, can u tell us what is the gender of anokata? Gosho: eh...laugh Q81: what is vermouth's secret of not aging? Gosho: please solve that mystery Q109: is DC's story now thought out only by Gosho sensei or is it by a team? Gosho: this I can't say right now...laugh
  9. New Vermouth/Yoko scene idea in my "Altrernate Bourbon" thread.

      Thanks! Didn't see this until now.

  10. Here's some more! Thanks to bluesun over at DCTP: Q19: What happened to the 10 million yen given to help raise Conan? They're probably spending it on lots of things, I expect... Also, Ran-chan's looking after the money. Q20: Does Conan-kun like Fluke Fin [Engawa] Sushi? What, because his name is Edogawa? (laughs) Q23: What would happen if Gin [Jin] fell down the stairs and twisted his ankle? Huh? That would hurt, wouldn't it? The pain would probably be really 'sharp' [Jiin]! (laughs) Q24: When did Gin and Vodka meet? Huh? When could it have been...? (laughs) Q29: You must have a great mind to think up so many cases!! What should I study to have a mind as great as yours? Oh, my mind's not that great. (laughs) Q31: If Conan-kun's a primary school student and a freeloader, how come he has a nice mobile phone? Did he buy it himself? It was probably bought from him out of the 10 million yen they got... Must be nice to have all that. Q35: Is Amuro-san popular with the girls in his job at Poirot? Of course he is! (laughs) Q36: Amuro went and sacrificed his own car (the RX-7) to save Conan, but being that crash should've wrecked it. Did he buy the car he drives after that secondhand? Maybe he bought it secondhand off a manga artist who hardly ever gets to drive his car, and repainted it. (laughs) Wait, that's me! Q40: There was a preview for 2015's movie at the end of 'The Dimensional Sniper', but I have no idea what it's going to be about from just a sunflower! What sort of film is it?! Or will I just have to wait until it's out in cinemas? You'll have to do that. (laughs) Q45: Thank you for doing so many stories in Gunma prefecture. There's more than just mountains here, so how about doing a case set at the Tomioka Silk Mill, a world heritage site? Would it reallly be a good idea to have a case occuring there? Q55:Please give the series a happy end, with Shuuichi Akai and Jodie getting back together, and draw what happens after they do (For example, with Akai's cooking skills, he'd be an elite FBI Agent by day, but when he comes home, he's actually a family man who's better at housekeeping than Jodie, maybe?). That wouldn't be interesting! (laughs) Q58: What do you think of the 'wall slam' technique that's popular in Shoujo manga lately? I'd like it if you did a 'wall slam' scene in Detective Conan. [A 'wall slam' (kabe don) is a situation 1) where a boy corners a girl by slamming his hand against a wall with his body over her, trapping her, usually in a romance scene; or 2) when someone gets so angry out of frustration that they want to punch a wall] I've drawn Ran doing a 'telephone pole slam' on Shinichi before, actually... Q60: What do you think will happen to Shinichi and Ran after graduating high-school? That's something you're going to have to wait and see! (laughs) Q64: I want to see a collaboration between Sera-chan and Hakuba-kun! You do? How come? (laughs) Q75: Does Shuuichi Akai have back pain? Why? (laughs) Q76: If you went on a date with Shuuichi Akai, where do you think he'd take you? He'd probably keep driving for the whole thing. Q77: What types of women do Shuuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro like? Let's see... Akai would like someone who can have a controlling aura without saying a word. And Amuro would like someone who doesn't mind him talking all the time.
  11. Aside from my alternate Bourbon thing, I was also thinking of doing another "Yoko as Vermouth" piece. This one would probably similar be similar to the "Halloween Party" case where Yoko takes Ai (who has a cold) with her, with apparently benevolent intentions, only to reveal herself and point a gun at her, however "Ai" reveals herself to be Conan in disguise, and there begins the whole "contest of wills" where Yoko threatens to blackmail Conan regarding his secret by threatening to use Kogoro's lust for her as a way to interfere with him. Conan would then find himself in a tough spot.
  12. Q73: Does Akai-san like kids? A: He probably has come to like them. (laughs) Q150: Currently, how much has DC been covered? A: How can I say that... Maybe just a half, maybe close to the end. It depends on your imagination! Thanks to ALAKTORN and Kor.
  13. We've talked about this over and over here and elsewhere. It's not likely him. It's the same type of misdirection he's done previously. Gosho has never broken this pattern and he's not likely to start soon.
  14. That also seems the most plausible order for me as well.
  15. More: Q2: Wich horn is the hardest between a rhino horn and Ran's horn? A: What? Q7: Have you already thought about drawing a fight between Heiji and Kaito? A: Hm... Should I do it or not...? Q9: Will there really be more than 100 volumes? Thinking that I'm going to wait many years to read the end of the story makes me sad... A: I think I can do more than 100 volumes, there's still room for the story. Q10: The drawing of Conan and Shinichi sitting on the chair for the 20th anniversary of the manga is really cool. What was your inspiration for this drawing? A: A drawing I had already drawn before where Conan was sitting on a char, and I just added Shinichi. Q11: In volume 42, Conan receives a message where a "Ok" with a heart is written. Don't tell me that was Heiji?! A: It was him, sorry (laugh) Q12: I'm really amazed by something... How do you manage to draw a manga with so many sub-plots? A: Well... (laugh) Q13: What do you really take care of when you create a character? A: I don't want him to look like a character I've created in the past. (note: Erm. Kaito/Shinichi, Sayaka/Aoko/Ran, Yaiba/Conan...) Q14: I want to see a kiss between Conan and Ran in the manga! A: What?? Not Shinichi?! Q15 has already been translated, but Gosho doesn't just say "laugh", but "big laugh". Q16: What kind of feeling Conan has for Haibara? Is it trust? A: I think he has total trust in her.
  16. I think she looked better without it, too.
  17. Here are some more. Q1: Don't you think it would be interesting if Conan has a brother? A: Eh? Why a brother so suddenly? It would be interesting, but it would also be hard to draw. Sorry! Q3: Will there be a love story in the Gunma prefecture? A: What? You want to see one? Q4: What are the reasons for people to join the Black Organization? A: There are many reasons. Q5: Are Elena Miyano and Shuichi Akai's/Sera's mother sisters? A: Eh? Why's that? Q6: Why did Akai-san decide to join the FBI? A: It will be explained in the future. Q8: Will Conan be in Shinichi Kudo's body for the final showdown? A: Stay tuned. Q15: Why can't Conan remember where he has seen Sera? A: He's pretending (laugh) Q22: If everything goes on like this, could Conan not be able to regain his body again? A: Stay tuned (laugh) Q62: Are Sera and Haibara cousins? A: Stop asking weird questions, you're not going to get me! (laugh) Q93: What is Ran and Shinichi's bloodtype? Isn't it type B? A: Think what you want, choose wichever you prefer. Q98: I want to see Ran wearing a kimono in the manga. A: It's really complicated to draw, except when I draw it with colors (laugh) CORRECTED: Q100: My friend told me that there's a new boss in the BO! A: Please tell your friend: Well done, it's false. (note: not sure about this one) Q114: Well done Sensei, for the Tottori Conan Airport! A: Ah, yes! Q121: Wich character was the hardest to design? A: It took a lot of effort to find Sera's design. Q122: Do you play video games? A: I do. (note: not sure about this one) Q123: Would you like to do moutain-climbing? A: No. Q128: How can I do so that my question appears in the SDB 80+? A: Congrats, it appeared in the SDB! Q129: Where would Sensei recommnd us to go in Britain? Or in other countries? A: Big Ben. And for the other countries, Venice's sunset is really nice, but I don't have time to go in Italy. Q130: Why do some people think you really are an eggplant? You're human! A: I'm human! Q131: Would Sensei like to do voice acting in a movie? A: I'm too shy, so it's a no. Q134: Was Sensei happy to go to Brazil? A: Really happy!
  18. Some of the Q&A's from the recent Digest Book. Extra special thanks to Startold on DCTP Forums: http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12748 UPDATE Q17: What's your favorite thing about Conan? A: The fact that it gives me money (laugh) Q18: I would like to visit the studios where Conan is animated, can you give me the adress? A: Don't ask me that kind of things~ Q21: How could someone become a friend of Conan's? A: By reading and buying (many) mangas! Q26: Why is Gin hair long and grey? A: Because it's cool! (laugh) Q28: How do you relax yourself? A: I play with __ boat (laugh). (note: not sure of that one. Is he talking about KanColle again?) Q30: How can someone resolve a case? A: By buying Conan in the inside (laugh) Q32: Lupin vs Kid!!! A: I want to see that too (laugh) Q33: If you had one of Agasa's inventions, what would you do with it?

(laugh) Q43: If Kyogoku-san, Subaru-san and Amuro-san fought, who would win? A: [can't understand the answser] Q44: Kyogoku-san is really happy compared to how he used to be in the past. Is it because he found love? A: Of course! Q47: Please tell us how the Kudo couple met! A: It's explained in a special! Q48: Will you draw a story explaining why Takagi wanted to become a police officer? A: Do you want me to draw it? (laugh) Q50: The Organization has a "very secret" plan wich started half a century ago. Are the Black Organization and the Pacific War connected? A: What~? Do you think that these two are related? Q51: Who is the Organization's boss? You can just say a hint. A: Hint: It's not Agasa! Q52: Could you draw a showdown between the original Kaito Kid, Toichi Kuroba, and Yusaku Kudo? A: I would like to draw it! Q53: Who drives the fastest between Sato and Yukiko? A: Sato, because she's the White Witch (laugh) Q54: What good thing has happened to you recently? A: [don't understand. I think it's a KanColle reference] Q56: Will there be Shinichi and Ran'z wedding at the end of the manga? A: What's going to happen? Look forward to it (laugh) Q59: I like black-skinned people. I really want Amuro-san, Kyogoku-san and Heiji Hattori appear together in the manga. If drawing their face is a trouble, you could just make two of them appear at the same time. Please, Sensei! A: Now, with computer painting, colorizing his face is not a trouble anymore, the main problem is the shape of his face. (note: not sure about the answer) Q65: Were you the one to chose Noriko Hidaka as the voice actor for Sera, or is it a member of the production company who chose her? A: I chose her, because I like her! Q67: Does Sera know about the Black Org? A: She doesn't know. Q68: Does Sera have a boyfriend? A: No! But there is someone... (laugh) Q69: Will there be something nobody predicted with Akai, Amuro and Sera? Please tell me! A: [don't understand} Q70: Does Akai have a gun he really likes? Every time the Organization appeared, Gin used a sniper. A: I should ask my assistant Yamagishi. (note: not entirely sure about the question) Q71: Akai-san has repeated that he would "give his life to protect someone". Is it a foreshadowing for his death? A: Stay tuned! Q74: Could someone like Akai be real? A: No, it's impossible (laugh) Q77 is about Shuichi's and Amuro's type of woman. Q80: Will Chiba be married? A: Will he? (laugh) Q84: Who decided wich character owns wich car? A: I decided for Subaru's RX-7 and 360, but it's Yamagishi who decided for the other cars. Q85: I want to see Heiji Hattori vs Kaito Kid!! A : You want it~? Q87: While solving all the problems in Conan, will the mystery on Kaito's father getting killed get solved in the mean time as well? A: They won't be solved at the same time! Moreover, he didn't get killed! Q88: Eisuke Hondo hasn't reappeared yet? A: Not for the moment, but he's going to be interesting! (note: No. Gosho, please. No, not Eisuke. Not again. ) Q89: Why are there red bricks on the covers of the volumes? A: The design department decided it. Q90: In Detective Conan, who is like Aoyama-sensei? A: Kogoro Mori. Q91: Is Ran better in karate than she was before? A: If there was karate at the Olympics, she would get the Gold Medal (laugh) Q96: When will there be a devlopment in Shinichi and Ran's relationship? Ran only got scared after the confession in London... A: Please look forward to it! (note: not sure about the question) Q99: Tell me how I could look like Ran!

A: Please tell your friend: Well done, it's false. Q102: Hello, Aoyama-sensei! My name is [a name from Hokuto no Ken] because my father is a fan of Hokuto no Ken.

I hope you'll draw until you die! A: Oh, leave me alone! (laugh) Q113: How many times do you go to Tottori each year? A: Once, in January. Q115: The Boss = Ano Kata = the first letter of his nickname = A, just as in "Aoyama Gosho", don't you think? A: Interesting! But no. Q116: Who is the producer currently? A: It was Kurosawa before, now, it's Uchida.
  19. Possibly the only useful things we could gather is that: Eventually, it will be told how Shuichi joined the FBI, there has NOT been a new boss, and that Conan may well go beyond 100 volumes (he may have been kidding;at least I hope he was). Also, Heiji may not participate in the final confrontation and I believe when Eisuke returns, things will start to get interesting.
  20. My complete set of commissioned illustrations based on the"original Vermouth" theory, are now available in the drawings section.

      Yeah, I pretty much agree she would have been a more interesting character that way in my opinion. Think of how she could threaten to blackmail Conan what with Kogoro's love for her.

  21. Thanks! Yep, he apparently doesn't like his old style. Personally, I prefer it to the one he uses now.
