Anyone else now ?

You get what you put into it.

I asked my friend, and he called me Zinfandel. The name has unknown origins, and is a northern California wine. Completely fits me. lol

The legend in the Wiki most likely coincides with this?

I'm having a difficulty with the fact that Twilight was used as a point of reference. It also doesn't exactly fit as he was born a shapeshifter/werewolf, and can change at will. He could chose to never tell someone, and it would not alter his life. He hasn't been lying, whereas Shinichi has been lying since day one. That aside, the sole reason Shinichi wouldn't tell Akai the truth is that it is simply absurd. He also wants to deal with everything himself, and feels that telling anyone is going to place them in harms way. He's an idiot for not realizing that ignorance in this situation isn't bliss, but is actually extremely dangerous, but that's a whole different topic. (Ran [or anyone else, tbh...] doesn't have to know anything about the situation to become a target for either murder/revenge, or a way to draw Shinichi out into the open...) But on the main topic, YES, Shinichi is extremely reckless. His arrogance in assuming he can outsmart people that are older than him, some even be triple his age, is exceedingly reckless. Their life experience, and their ability to outsmart the entire world's police forces, and Interpol, is vastly more than his. They're largely unknown, yet he somehow thinks he is better than them and will not only figure it all out and "win" against them, he thinks he can stay hidden against their obvious insanely talented information gatherers/researchers. Folly. Foolishness, Dante Shinichi, foolishness. We do not know for 100% who Okiya is yet, so in theory, we could all be wrong and whoops he was Bourbon all along. (Highly doubtful, for a myriad of reasons, but still)

Without Sonoko they would hardly leave Beika City, except when Kogoro gets clientele that live far off and special request him.

Then who was Scar Akai when he showed up at the mall? I think this is just trying to be a red herring.

I suddenly feel exceedingly pale... XD

Normally I would agree with you, but I think Satou and Takagi prove he is capable, but that he can be a huge troll (Kazuha...). However, considering how demure Ran tends to be in her personal life, I'm still sticking with what I said.

Some people have a hard time dealing with something they've wait a long time for. It's kind of like being shellshocked. She's probably a bit in disbelief that he actually said that to her, and to her face! That would explain why Sonoko's "OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING BACK??" reaction was kind of... more shocking to her. It's a confirmation that he actually said it.

As someone with family who asks if every single male I ever know is someone I am dating, denial is a big part of it because it gets annoying as hell. "Omg you talked to that guy, are you dating?" "omg, that boy looked at you, are you dating?"

I only looked at the Chinese for the Takagi case and maybe one other chapter, and I don't plan on looking at them again. This has led me to completely not read threads though, so I think that proved your point. I don't understand why we need to use a spoiler box in a thread specifically about that topic? If someone doesn't want to be spoiled, they can just not read the thread. It gets really annoying to read. :\ I mean this on a sort of off topic way, as in, if it's not yet in the anime, but is in the manga in english, but is in a place where one would discuss that anyway (eg, the dctp manga section...).

Sounds like we have some volunteers to make things...

lol, ouch, and so true.

I don't think it's possible to do that fast enough for the senses to not notice.

I'm in a perpetual state of depression, but most people don't give a crap because they think if I smile about one thing, then I can't possibly be depressed in general. I don't think anyone has posted this yet, and it is somewhat cathartic: http://depressioncomix.tumblr.com/

While she didn't touch him, most people "feel" when someone is super close to them. I know I do... then again this is Shinichi
