[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 987-989: The Burning Tent
Serinox replied to DCUniverseAficionado's topic in Manga series
Worth noting: before Rumi stares shadily to the ground and clutches her pocket in anger, the basketball club manager talks about his right eye being artificial, due to an accident with one of the other case characters during a basketball game. So yeah, that apparantly triggers Rumi. And also, I believe this is the first time we see actually how Gosho draws an artificial eye. Correction edit: The eye is not artificial, but rather severly injured and that character nearly lost it and nearly had to get an artificial one. Still, the mention of an artificial eye is what triggers Rumi. -
You most likely mean Episode 354-355, "A Small Client"

It will get adapted sooner or later. Nowadays changes to the order are less common, but some cases are for some reason adapted out of order and way later. For example, the Shinichi Heiji flashback was adapted over two years after the manga release and the Agasa's First Love cases was adapted over three years after the manga release. So really, it's not something to be concerned about. Everything in the manga is going into the anime eventually (and the pre-school flashback has gone into the anime considering the Ending Futari no Byoshin). Fans and some Japanese media magazines are speculating that they will adapt the pre-school flashback in March, because that's the time when cherry trees blossom in Tokyo. And even if they are not, you should relax a bit. It will come eventually.

That's nice trivia, but ... we already knew pretty much all of that from the manga, i.e. what type of person the Boss is, the nature of the BO's operation, about the number two of the BO etc. Uhh ... I can't make out an "idea" from your post tbh. The Boss is similar to Blofeld from James Bond? Maybe, but it's not like Blofeld is really a unique villain apart from his iconic look in You Only Live Twice, his traits (intelligent head of an organisation who pulls all the strings in the background) are pretty much the definitive traits of the evil mastermind in most serious fiction. Was Rum eye trait inspired by Emilio Largo? Maybe, but it's not like Largo had any scheme involved with hiding his identity or anything with varying descriptions afaik, so apart from Gosho getting initial inspiration from James Bond, I don't think this has too much relevance.

[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 981-983: Butsumetsu
Serinox replied to DCUniverseAficionado's topic in Manga series
Or he received a message from his partner or someone (e.g. that I personally don't agree with: someone is bugging the Detective Agency above while Wada is there for backup) that they are finished with their job and that it is time to go, which is why Wada is giving Conan & Co. the poem because he wants to leave now and needs the case resolved. -
[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 981-983: Butsumetsu
Serinox replied to DCUniverseAficionado's topic in Manga series
Afaik, song and poem are often used synomously in the Japanese language, because you can of course just sing poems instead of normally reciting them. Doesn't change the fact that it is unlikely that he just happened to listen to some Hyakunin Isshu song collection (or something like that) and that it is very unusual to keep listening to it on one ear during a murder and a police investigation right in front of you. 99% sure he is communicating with someone. -
I wonder how such a mistake happens. Like, I can see that e.g. forgetting to draw a face mask in one panel (like in the Department Store case) can happen, but this? Accidentally drawing what clearly was supposed to be Shuukichi with a childrens body instead of an high schoolers body...

[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 981-983: Butsumetsu
Serinox replied to DCUniverseAficionado's topic in Manga series
Of course the connection is there (maybe because Gosho helped greatly with the research for the movie script and is now recycling the new knowledge of Hyakunin Isshu), though the way this guy was set-up seems too badass/cool for Gosho to just have him be another character for the movie. Plus, he gave himself the localized name of Dr. Watson from the first Japanese translation of A Study in Scarlet before they also used the original names over there (even with the exact same kanji and with claiming to be medical personnel he even has a similar profession) and I really doubt that Gosho would give that to a character that is not relevant to the main plot of the manga but rather a side story that's currently more important for Movie 21. -
Btw, here is the 30sec teaser that shown after the broadcast of Episode ONE

Masumi can't know Haibara, since Haibara was raised inside the BO and Masumi knows nothing about the BO. Maybe Mary could have knowledge about Haibara, but it's not certain yet. Haibara certainly never met any of them. Does Masumi know Haibara's real identity? Hard to tell, maybe, maybe not.

It's 99% confirmed. Yes. Yes, they met in the Mystery Train.

[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 978-980: Wakasa-sensei's home
Serinox replied to Black Demon's topic in Manga series
Well, the BO shouldn't be the one to check out Conan, since they don't know anything about him, so if Wakita is indeed a BO agent, he should be after Kogoro. It's highly unlikely that Rumi is Rum (or a BO agent in general) because of that as well, since the BO would have pretty much no reason to investigate him. Kuroda in the police HQ is too around the corner to specifically target Conan on the other hand. -
[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 978-980: Wakasa-sensei's home
Serinox replied to Black Demon's topic in Manga series
Huh, could you point out the chapters and pages where Rumi supposedly looks like a man? -
But that was his point. Rumi is pronounced and written "Rumi" and Rum is pronounced and written "Ramu". Wakasa and Asaca sound more similar, but still different enough that the average Japanese reader might be oblivious to it.

This is a little mistake. Darkest Nightmare and Pirate's Spirit have competed in different races and they both won theirs respectively. (Ofc this could have other implications if Gosho wants to tell us something with the two horse names)

Indeed, all other sites steal from there.

"Largely caught up" as in, the manga is 40 chapters ahead of the anime atm (plus an additional four chapters from the yet unaired ShinRan pre-school flashback), which is pretty much the standard distance between anime and manga. Yes, it usually takes roughly a year for a manga case to be adapted in the anime (e.g. the upcoming Girl Band case in the anime was released in October 2015 in the manga). There are some rare exceptions in both directions, true, but I wouldn't expect it for this case in particular. They usually want the manga to stay 30+ chapters ahead on average, so they have enough breathing room. It would take 25 episodes starting from November 5th to adapt all the manga cases that are currently complete (barring any 1hr specials etc), so you should add the same amount of non-manga episodes to that (AO's & remastered episodes), so the current case that you are looking for will be adapted in roughly 50 episodes. There are also break weeks around new years for the anime, so it will air in about 52-54 weeks as an estimate. I.e. in about a year + one or two months.

But Amanda had ties to the FBI and the CIA and not the BO. Why would she invest in the BO, when she already had close contact to both the domestic and foreign intelligence services of the US? Let's propose she really did some kind of investement into the BO (to which we have absolutely no proof or even really hints of), then the only context in which that would make sense to me would be an investment as part of a plan to get closer to the BO by either the FBI or the CIA. If we assume CIA, then there would be no reason for Tsutomu (if he was indeed CIA) to investigate, but if you want to work him in there in this fashion, he might've been the agent that was in charge of supervising the operation. Though the whole concept of him being a CIA agent seems a bit off to me, since he was a Japanese man living with a British wife in England. Somebody mentioned that Tsutomu looked like a stereotypical reporter in his outfit and I honestly like the idea of that more than the secret agent thing, probably because the story of a reporter being too curious for his own good and getting himself targetted hasn't been told in that form in DC before.

[SPOILER DISCUSSION] File 972-974: Akai Family Flashback Case
Serinox replied to Black Demon's topic in Manga series
Yes, the new detective is the cook of the sushi restaurant that Kogoro, Ran and Conan visit and he challenges Kogoro in a deduction/mystery battle. -
There are many games out there, all the way from the original Game Boy to the 3DS, though almost all of them were never released outside of Japan. http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Games The Wii game "The Mirage of Remembrance/The Mirapolis Investigation" was released in Europe and the crossover DS game with the Kindaichi Case Files series received an English fan translation (http://www.dctp.ws/conankindaichi/), but that's it.

I don't know where jimmy has it from, but this kind of quality is up on Imgur, yes. -
Well, in the past it was the mission of the FBI to capture Gin, in order to get information out of him to get to the Boss and bring down the whole BO. I doubt this has changed: he more useful to them alive than dead, even if he remains free. Also, what Shuichi says afterwards:
