Movie 22: [Official Title Unknown] Zero
Serinox replied to Chekhov MacGuffin's topic in Movies and OAVs
30 second teaser is here. Translation by Yunnie: http://yesyunniechan.tumblr.com/post/168167999961/movie-22-teaser-english-translation -
Never learned it in the traditional sense, but Akai's name was introduced via textbox in the Bus Explosion case. You'll notice that sometimes characters aren't properly introduced to each other, but they still know their names when the characters have caption boxes, so perhaps it is some in-universe dynamic that is glossed over. Perhaps also: Akai gave his name during police questioning of the bus passengers and Conan learned it off-screen from Takagi.

This is not a fact or evidence, still just merely speculation at this point.

[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 994-996: Following Ran
Serinox replied to DCUniverseAficionado's topic in Manga series
There was no secrecy though. Ran just said, "It's not just any regular trip..." and was about to tell him in Ch. 994 (the next line would've probably been "...it's the high school field trip!"), but they were interrupted by the murder case. Also, the high school field trip is apparantly a very big thing in Japan, it lasts 4-5 days and apparantly is a very important and unique experience in the school life of a Japanese teenager in high school; I once also read that many high schoolers use the opportunity of such a unique experience to confess their love to their crush. And it is also an often used story point in many manga series, particular for the romance plots. -
A.) Wouldn't know. B.) "日売新聞" - "Nichiuri Newspaper", a fictional stand-in for a real daily newspaper, in this case most likely Yomiuri Shinbun, similar to how the fictional TV station "Nichiuri TV" is a stand-in for the real TV station Yomiuri TV (which is also the TV station that broadcasts the Conan anime). Both Yomiuri Shinbun and Yomiuri TV are part of the Yomiuri Group conglomerate, so I guess Gosho wanted to keep his real-life reference straight. Rest of the page is the usual unreadable scribble as far as I can tell. Btw, here is a screenshot from the volume version of that panel with the Shonen Sunday textbox, that allow you to see the "新聞" kanji for newspaper previously covered by the textbox:

Okay, but you asked if it changed the meaning of the dying message and this doesn't change the meaning of the dying message. Of course the room that the dying message was made in being different changes stuff, but again, that was not what you asked.
-
"Also"? The result of the argument was, that the tap was opened in Amanda's room and the status of the tap in Kouji's room is unknown. No. The meaning in it of itself is still debatable ofc, but the meaning doesn't depend on which room it was made in.
-
Akai bringing it up doesn't prove a thing. The cases may be similar, but you cannot use it as evidence, that everything back then happened exactly in the same as it did during the case in present day. Also, just because Conan & Haibara are pretty certainly talking about Amanda's room/tap in that conversation, it doesn't mean that the tap in Koji's room wasn't also found running as well. While the tap running in his room is never mentioned/confirmed in the chapter, it wasn't disconfirmed either.
-
First part about the messy thing is correct, but the second part is not true, the text never mentions Koji's room in that, like Chek said. I discussed this issue on Discord again and we ended up with pretty much the same thing as Chek posted above, which is why I agree, Conan is talking about the water running in Amanda's room; water running in Koji's room is never mentioned in that chapter.
-
We can't know that for sure; Shukichi speaks with high respect of Koji and his motto and the way he does it, it seems like the have met in the past and he knew him well. Of course, that's not set in stone, but it is entirely possible that Koji and Shukichi became acquainted some 17-20 years ago when Shukichi was in elementary school and they adopted kind of an mentor/student relationship and that Koji was the one who Shukichi into shogi.
-
Kuroda was talking before that as well though and we can't actually tell when she started to stare at him like that, which means that we were technically both wrong. And yet she did comprehend it during the case. What?! Hahaha, Gin is willing to blow up an entire train and an entire train station just to kill one person among them (and that's not even the first time he intends to blow up an entire train), Gin directly murders persons in cold blood (Pisco, Akemi), Gin orders the death of Kogoro and Conan on the mere chance that Kogoro might be related to Sherry, Vermouth killed Jodie's parents in cold blood and burned down their house, intending to burn the 8 year old Jodie as well and more, and now Rumi is supposed to be the more dangerous person than these two alone combined, because she passively allows murder to occur and risks the life of one hostage? Sorry, but that's ridiculous. On the rest: I disagree and I continue to find your logic baffling and unreasonable by quite a wide margin, but it's clear that this is going nowhere. I made my points and I stand by them and so do you, and that's fine.
-
Not impossible, but there is nothing to indicate that Rum was actually involved either.
-
A wrong guess is not a post hoc fallacy. She didn't, look at 987 again. That's a fair share or generalization here and not even quite true. Wearing your on your sleeve is more what elementary schoolers do, but not teenagers in general, who tend to hide their true feelings and emotions more because of puberty and the insecurities resulting from it. It's not a sign for immaturity either. Okay, how about Vermouth messing up in the Rokumichi Hado case, getting overwhelmed by her protectiveness of Ran and compromising her cover by blurting out "Angel"? Vermouth is certainly a cunning, cold-blooded woman and she made a mistake. Turns that humans are not one-dimensional beings. Maybe she forgot, maybe it fell out of her pocket and she didn't notice. Being a calculating person doesn't mean you never make mistakes. Nobody's perfect and all that. As Chek mentioned, it is likely that Rumi only painted the tiger on the same day as ruining it, after buying the plates, cups and the food. But even if she did it beforehand, that's not a reason to not buy the cups, plates and food beforehand. There are masses of 24hr convenience stores in Japan and especially in a metropolis like Tokyo, so there was no problem to get all that stuff beforehand, at any time of the day. What Chek said +1.
-
We don't know if Shuichi was ordered to neutralize Scotch, we only know that Shuichi managed to find Scotch and wanted to help him.
-
Uhh, no, I didn't. I made a wrong guess at the culprit. What logic is that supposed to be? If Rumi were cunning and devious, she would completely act that way 100% of the time? That's what you are arguing here? Rumi was clearly shocked, the mention of the prosthetic eye and seeing Kuroda was clearly quite emotional for her, so she reacted not like her calm self from when she beat up the robbers (for example) initially. So what? That doesn't mean she isn't cunning and devious, it's means she is a human, who reacts differently to different situations. Plus, if that really was an emotional trigger, she has probably experienced something traumatic in relation to prosthetic eyes, so her weird, emotional reaction was most likely not even a reaction she had control over. If that was the plan, why did Rumi only buy cups, plates and food after the conversation, making her come late to school? If she had already decided to bring Conan on the same day, why didn't she buy that stuff the day before in her free time, instead doing on the same day and thus potentially risking her position at school? She reacted with shock and she showed her emotions. That's not something specifically teenagerish, that's general human behaviour. She could've still gone through with her earlier proposal to drive the DB home and drop them off one by one, leaving Conan for last, thus getting into a one on one conversation with him, even after the murder and even after the incident with the media. But she didn't.
-
Why would that be the last test? You can test a person multiple times. And why do you think that Conan passed the test in her introduction test? She had to give him two hints, maybe she considered that too much and wanted a second test. Oh come on, Rumi witnessed the conversation, gave a sinister smile and then had one of her "accidents" again that would conveniently give Conan a reason to visit her apartment. She also hastily bought the cups, plates and food only after she heard the conversation, even coming late to school for that. You want it spelt out directly in her thoughts? I know that you really desperately want to push Post hoc fallacies onto everybody because you were off-mark with your deductions in the Kendo Tournament case, but please stop throwing that around everytime you disagree with something. Oh no, no, that's not what you said. You asked: " Is it probable for Sera to disguise as someone else and then approach Conan for his help during Koji case?" - Is it probable? No. Is it impossible? No, but again, that's not what you said.
-
Again, a lot of speculation that's purely based on "It's not impossible." Oh well. Okay, but we know what Rumi assumed: she assumed he would kill her, since she brought Conan to her apartment for him to figure out the case and even bought extra plates and cups in case his friends would join them. Her actions clearly show that she assumed the murder would take place. Would Masumi in such a situation do what Rumi did or would she somehow try to prevent it?
-
No, since Sera and Mary don't have disguise capabilities as far as we know. Is it? Where I come from, using "Hello, my name is X, I am X years old and I'm working as an X" is a common way to introduce yourself to a larger group. Kobayashi told her? Surely they had a meeting beforehand, preparing the upcoming lessons and doing smalltalk. How do you pretend to be an elementary school teacher all day, six days a week, while you also are attending high school at the same time and have a social life there? Also, would Masumi take the risk to let Ayumi die? Would Masumi just accept the death of Banno's girlfriend, just to test Conan, which she doesn't need to do anymore, since she already knows he is smart? Seems pretty impossible to me.

That's a translation error (these files are still from the Japanese to Chinese to Indonesian to English scanlation times), his name is Kokuri in the Japanese version and thus here in the wiki.
-
Are you talking about Kokuri? He is a producer at the TV station where the show was going to air, he is not Hotta's manager.
-
Kogoro wasn't invited by Gaito. And the BO only know that Kogoro was involved in the case, not necessarily that he was supposed to work on the Koji case for the TV show with Gaito.

I don't for how long this has been the case, but since a few days ago my Firefox is actively warning me from logging in on this website, because it does not employ any kind of encryption to protect password data. Trying to force the website to use https first blocked out some graphics, but allowed me to log-in, still with a security warning, but then Sucuri blocked me from logging in. Since something like this is almost an invitation for getting user accounts hacked more easily, I'd suggest that this should be fixed as quickly as possible.
