Minori

Who cares? I'm 30 years old and watching DC. And my husband lets me indulge... as long as I don't pry him away from his One Piece fandom. *coughs* I don't care if it's a "for kids" thing or not either... I think it's a wonderful thing to have that little piece of fantasy in your heart, especially after you're an adult adult. Keeps you from being jaded. Embrace what you love, for that is part of who you are.

I think 5 years is a pretty healthy prediction. After that, maybe a different manga with the same characters - Life after BO, depicting how Shinichi got recruited into FBI (an obasan can dream right?), more focus on romance (ShinXRanXHaibara love triangle maybe), and so forth. Or maybe even a Detective Boys spin-off - High School Edition. I'm just saying. :x

My opinion is opposite... This sounds more like something you'll say to a daughter than a lover, especially if you're from a traditional family. An illegitimate daughter, perhaps. They're biologically related but Vermouth does not recognise him as a father figure... and therefore the embarrassment.

Hattori Heizo would be my guess for RUM too. Most, if not all, secret organisations in history (or at least in movies lol) have high ranking members who infiltrated into the police, the Cabinet, or both. A powerful organisation wouldn't be powerful without this element - imagine the resources they could reap! And how else would they be able to be under the radar for so long? I don't see the need to *look* like all 3 of the descriptions Haibara mentioned. It could just be one person who don't even fit any of these descriptions, so that he could be "invisible" even from within the organisation. He could have a group of messengers who don't look anything like him, to confuse the parties he work with. He might be a little young to be second-in-command, but who knows? He could be related to the Boss and he's the successor.

Have always been a Tantei Otaku (and all sorts of criminal shows) and DC is by FAR my most loved tantei series of all. Have been a fan for more than 10 years, but it just came across to me that I should (finally) join a discussion board for my fandom LOL Hello hello.
