Uchiha Shadow

I just want to point out some few things: It's highly unlikely if not impossible that Ran and Shinichi met Akai and Sera in NY, Sera said that they moved to America only 3 years ago, Ran had a flashback of a very young Sera, that means they met around 10 years ago, so they had to have met in Japan, I also doubt Akai was with her, since he didn't recognize Ran and neither Ran nor Shinichi recognized him when they each saw him for the first time, I would assume the middle brother(Shuukichi) and the mother(unknown child) were with Sera instead, also, Akai's age is still unknown, 27 is the age he was using as Okiya. As for the Wizard, it's probably because of a case that young Shinichi solved or something like that, a case which was like magic.

For me, I think it will be like this: RUM's identity will be discovered halfway through the arc, but he will still remain, just like with Bourbon, but at the end of the arc, he would be captured or something like that, either leading Conan and the FBI to get massive information about the BO or RUM will die without talking, Gin will probably become the 2nd in command in the BO after RUM.

Misdirection about what?

But wouldn't Haibara look behind to see where the BO sense came from? I believe she knows where the BO sense comes from since she looked behind when she sensed Amuro, I don't see why she would just stay focused on Sera while she senses something from behind.

I don't know about that, it looked to me like she was just scared, because of what she thought: "This person....... could it be...." she said that while Sera was staring closely at her, it didn't seem like some other thing caused that, well at least that's just what it looks to me, anyway that doesn't even seem to be her BO sense with Kuroda.

I don't think so, I think it's just her being scared, just like when Sera met her for the first time.

Clash Of Red And Black and Black Impact.

Well, I still think Conan doesn't know for certain that Sera is Akai's sister, he probably thinks about it but I don't think he's sure about it yet, so he probably won't ask Akai about it, but to answer your question I guess there are 2 possibilities: 1) Maybe it's because of RUM, I mean RUM is way more important than the unknown child, so he's probably focusing on that for now. 2) Typical Conan, he already knows about it all and is waiting for the chance to reveal it.

I would prefer a happy ending in DC's case, but I bet that Akai will die in the end, he seems to be the type of character that would only find his happy end in death, but that's just me.

Well honestly, it was sometime ago and it's been a while since I read the interviews, so I don't really remember. So it's not far-fetched that I thought it was an interview, but I still think I read it somewhere, maybe the interview isn't on this site? I won't argue about the 2 sisters thing, but Sera being British is more likely than her having British habits from James, because Sera didn't live with James, she came to Japan not too long ago, before that she was in America for the past 3 years, so it's very unlikely she'd get British habits from James in that small period of time, besides, Sera says 'football' instead of 'soccer', football is British, while soccer is American.

Lol, I still don't know about Amuro being blood-related to the Akai family and the Miyanos, but he's clearly related to Elena in some way, and yeah I know about the small hints of him being British, Kuroda drinking black tea sure doesn't sound like something big now, but later on when we progress through the arc, I have a feeling it will be important when added to other things.

I'm pretty sure I read the fact that Masumi's mother was one of the 2 sisters in the translating interviews topic, you should search for it there, but I disagree with you here, there is good evidence that the unknown child is Masumi's mother: 1) She has Masumi's eyes, the mother passed her looks to Masumi and Shuichi. 2) She was very happy when Shukichi won the Shogi titles. Shukichi is most likely the middle brother so she would be happy since he's her son. 3) Ran said that she met with the unknown child somewhere, since she met Masumi in the past, it's safe to assume she met them together, we can see that Masumi was very young, around 7 years old, that means that it took place around 10 years ago, the unknown child would've been too young to be recognized by Ran, which suggests she was shrunken, that means she was an adult when she met Ran, and the only one who makes perfect sense of being with Masumi when she met Ran 10 years ago is her mother. 4) Masumi talks about her mother in a past tense, she says her mother had big breasts, which suggests she doesn't have them anymore, that mean she shrunk, furthermore, Masumi talks to Ran about her mother like Ran knows her, which means she thinks Ran knows her mother, all the pieces fit together now. I don't know about you but for me it's clear as day that the unknown child is Masumi's mother. Now we get to her being Haibara's aunt, there is more than one hint, it's not just the interview, these hints are: 1) There are multiple hints that Masumi is British, there also hints that the unknown child is British, assuming she's the mother, that means the mother is British, Elena is also British, so it fits, for the hints for them being British, there is a whole topic about it on DCTP. 2) The fact that we never saw Elena's eyes, maybe the look like Shuichi's eyes, although that is just a small speculation. 3) Haibara said that the child resembles her in Sherry's Soliloquy, Gosho said that he talks through Haibara, so that means it's Gosho's words. I know they are slight hints, but they should serve as a good argument all together.

Seriously? I'm so surprised no one mentioned Berserk, out of the ones I've read it's my favorite, and it's probably the best since I just can't see anything surpassing that level, everyone should read it, it's the best thing that happened to manga. It has amazing art, heck amazing can't describe it, each panel gives a different feeling, it has the most badass character ever: Guts, it's also very very dark though, it has a story that words cannot describe how good it is, and when you read volume 13, your mind would be blown to pieces, it's my favorite manga because of it, the character development is just mind blowing, even side characters that only appear in one arc get more development than most other main characters in other manga, Guts is also probably the most complicated character I've ever seen. If you haven't read Berserk, your missing a lot. Anyway besides Berserk I'd say Hunter X Hunter, but the art is not that good when it comes to scans online.

No. In my country it's a channel called Spacetoon.

In some countries(like mine) it's normal for cousins to get married, the only problem I see in it is the fact that they didn't know about it, which could possibly be explained by the fact that the 2 families got separated before Akemi was born, since the Miyanos started working for the BO 30 years ago, that's before Akemi's birth, so they might've never known about being cousins.

Personally, I thought it was just another cartoon(that was before I knew what anime was), but I thought it wouldn't be that big, it was entertaining though.

I agree that it'll most likely be Sato and Takagi, though maybe Megure would know as well, after all Megure saw Gin and Vodka in the first chapter.

I first watched Detective Conan on TV, I watched it there until episode 332(it was dubbed until that episode at that time, now I think they're in the 370s), but after a while I forgot about it and began watching other anime, then last year, I saw a video that talks about top 5 mystery anime, one of them was Detective Conan, it was episode 538 so I got interested again and I thought it's about time I catch up, so I started watching it then continued to read the manga.

My favorite character is Akai Shuichi, my 2nd favorite character is Kogoro Mouri.

The detective boys, Ran, Sonoko, Kazuha, Yumi and Sometimes Haibara.

Shinichi/Conan and Shuichi/Okiya are the best.

No way, it'll take me a lot of time to re-watch every single episode even without counting the fillers, however, I would absolutely watch some episodes many times, specially those with plot development that revolves around the BO.

I never cried because of any episode, however the only one that brought me close to is episode 504, I find episode 193 to be also very sad.

Well, it's Kir arc for me, even though I like the Vermouth arc best for the most plot development, Akai was just too badass in the Kir arc, and I like the fact that there was a lot of action in it as well.

I don't have a 'favorite' episode as there are a lot of episodes I like, but if I have to name some of them: 27, 28, 230, 231, 305, 306, 504 and 704.
