Nope.

Nope. Sorry.

I see you trying to sneak in there, Ryo. Sorry, but I'm the winner here. Nice try though.

The problem with these polls is that you can only pick one option. I think Asaka was Rum, but I also think Rum is another character we've seen in the course of the manga, and I still think that there's a good chance that Rumi is Rum as well. So I don't know which one to mark since I can't put all three. On another note, I found it interesting that anime episode 864 adapted it not only to say that a woman was seen with the mirror, but to straight up say that Asaka was a woman. That adds to my suspicion that Wakasa Rumi=Asaka=Rum. I can't wait to see more adaptations of story cases to see what else they might give away that wasn't so clear in the manga.

Okay, I'm not sure what sources you've been reading, but they are wrong. Fingerprint and DNA evidence is extremely accurate. That is why they are admissible evidence in court. Even if all that can be found is hair or fingernails, the mitochondrial DNA can be tested and will result in a match to the mother or a sibling as well as the person it came from. As for blood or tissue DNA, the only way that would match someone other than the person it came from is if they had an identical twin. Regarding fingerprints, I'm fairly certain that even identical twins have different fingerprints. Ran was deterred from the fingerprint evidence when she was told that Shinichi had also held the item. As far as I remember, she has not gotten a DNA comparison yet (mitochondrial or blood). If she did so, it would be much harder for Conan to explain away. If it was mitochondrial DNA, he could revise his cover story and say he is Yukiko's child from an affair seven years earlier, but if the DNA was from blood or tissue, he's caught as there is no way for identical twins to be born ten years apart. I believe what you were thinking of is polygraph or "lie detector tests." The accuracy of polygraph has been under question for many years, and they are not admissible evidence in court. I myself have taken one and failed on my own name! If Ran were somehow able to convince Conan to submit to a polygraph and he failed, he could then cite the inaccuracy of the test and probably give enough specific examples to once again result in Ran doubting herself. DNA and fingerprints, however, are ironclad evidence as long as there is no error in the collection process or handling of the evidence. I think Ran becoming important to the plot is what we want! At present, she usually has no more importance than the members of Shonen Tantei, or Sonoko, or Kaito Kid. She's a glorified background character. Usually. There are times when she is central to the plot, but not most of the time. Aoyama-sensei has made it abundantly clear that Shinichi is going to end up with Ran at the end. We want our hero to end up with a character of significance, not the perpetual damsel-in-distress, not the "you're Shinichi, but you can lie and convince me you're not and it will be fine" cliche, and not a background character who seldom contributes to the story. We want the match for our hero to be someone who he can trust and rely on; someone who has his back in a crisis; someone who helps him with all of their abilities without holding back. So yes, Ran finding out the truth WOULD mean she becomes more important to the story, but that would be a good thing!

I don't believe she's ever really given up on her suspicion that Conan is Shinichi, but I do think that Conan has cast enough doubt that she's not 100% certain. However, his arguments have gotten weaker each time she brings it up, so I imagine she's probably growing fairly confident in her suspicion again. I still hope we'll get the revelation in chapter 1000 or 1001. It would be a good turning point.

Okay, I guess I can see that now. I was hoping for a major story case spanning chapter 1000; some big revelation about the Black Organization (like Rum's identity), but as long as it's something that moves the plot along (as opposed to a throw away or filler case) I guess that's cool. Maybe we'll get lucky and this will be when Ran finally learns the truth!

Something at least a little bit interesting. I mean, if it was just a school trip, all the secrecy about and "you'll understand when you're older" are just ridiculous.

I was okay with the way the case worked out (not the best case Aoyama-sensei has written, but definitely not the worst either. What disappointed me is the revelation about the mysterious trip.

Banned for being too fun.

Laugh at the bank robber for picking a hostage nobody cares about. What would you do if your worst nightmare came true?

Well, while you watch Naruto and give each other thumbs up, I'll be relaxing in the winner's circle.

While I agree entirely, I'm curious how you would know since I've never posted any drawings. Luna

If you have good enough credit. Is it possible for me to learn C++ even though I have trouble focusing?

I agree with Chek. Aoyama-sensei is a fair storyteller, meaning he isn't going to throw us a plot twist that contradicts things he has already established. If Conan was Anokata, then he would naturally want to keep that hidden, so that would account for his dialogue with others portraying him as unaware. The problem, as with my previous theory that Kogoro was Anokata, is that the character has not only spoken dialogue that shows them to be unaware, but also internal monologue. This is even more true with Conan than with Kogoro. For Aoyama-sensei to hit us with this ending would be nothing more or less than trolling us. Now, regarding the idea of Haibara being shocked by the identity of Anokata, there are a few problems there. First of all, though I can't find it at the moment, I could have sworn that it was debunked that Aoyama-sensei ever actually said this. But, even if I'm mistaken and there is a demonstrable quote where he did say it, there are plenty of explanations other than a troll ending where Conan is Anokata. dclover12 pointed out that all of Haibara's family are dead. While this is true, I have two observations to make. First, unless I'm mistaken, the bodies of Haibara's parents were not found after the fire that destroyed their lab (please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to spread incorrect information). Second, it is not without precedent for a character to fake their death; if it can be done by a good guy like Akai, it could also be done by a bad guy. Imagine how Haibara would react upon learning that her mother is not only alive, but is the elusive and mysterious leader of the Black Organization; I think she would be fairly shocked.

I know you still think I'm Alice, but you are still wrong, so unless you are Alice, I doubt you know.

Lonely

(It sometimes feels like that already.) At least my master is kind. You can never watch anime again.

I don't even have to think about it; I already wish I could disappear from the world. What would you do if you were suddenly told that you had to pay a subscription fee to use this website?

Absolutely, I just can't afford to do it. Is an only child?

Banned for being against wisdom.

Easy one, 15. What is my favorite movie franchise?

An angry teacher comes out. Inserts Star Wars bluray.
