Chekhov MacGuffin

To keep the rumor mill down, I want to point out that Gosho only specified the name of the boss appearing, not necessarily the actual boss himself. This is the interviewEdit: I put all the reasonably sourced interviews about the boss in the wiki page for Ano kata. Do note the disclaimer. The shocked Haibara one isn't there because no one has found a stable interview to translate and I want to avoid that level of hearsay in the wiki.

We do under the title "annoying characters", but it didn't have a poll and it got a bit heated so I think a fresh start might not be a bad idea. Everyone, please play nice.

DCTP has been hit by the pile of people coming. That said, no linking or anything that might piss off lawyers, please. No surprises this file. Okiya knew about Conan's identity back in the paper airplane case and finally got decisive proof. He is just having fun harassing Conan now. Sera might make a move now she suspects Okiya. I just hope this means we are reaching the end of the Bourbon arc soon....

The spoiler free thread should be created around the time of the Wednesday Japanese release with instructions not to post until the English comes out. I don't really care who makes the thread as long as the rules make it into the first post. I think DCTP's no spoilers at all in the spoiler-free thread rule is a good one. The spoiler thread can be labelled whatever as long as they are clearly different. I think enforcing spoiler boxes within the spoiler-allowed thread is still a good idea because someone might stumble into it inadvertently, misclick on it, or whatever. I hope this answers your questions.

But more seriously, no one has any idea when they will air new episodes, if they do at all. Nothing recently has been posted about the Magic Kaito anime as far as I know.

I'll implement separate threads starting next case then.

DCTP just implemented a spoiler free thread for this case!!! http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8202.0 I think I would need some more interest before implementing the same thing here because only two posters have shown interest, so a thread wouldn't go very far.

It doesn't look like there is much of an audience for people who want to try to solve cases using English only, so I guess there is no need for a separate topic.

I don't think it will be possible to get people to accurately label their stuff. People have trouble with spoiler boxes as it is. True, it would break discussion in two, but it is pretty much broken now for the people not reading the spoiler boxes and the no spoiler people who are way behind the spoiler people's convos. I view it as a risk decreaser, but only if there are actually enough people to post in both threads.

The chinese chapters are generally one chapter ahead of the English translation now so it is becoming hard for English-only manga people to discuss and make deductions in a thread that is one chapter ahead of them. I want to gauge how many people here are spoiler readers versus wait for the English types so I can judge whether it would be a good idea to create a separate deduction thread for non spoiler people.

Ask about it in this thread:

They stop changing the Black Org to random people after the shinkansen case, but they managed to botch the death of Akemi Miyano. Directing wise, I think it was poor idea to change the shinkansen case to remove the black org. They could simply move the case by writing an extra filler or two to replace the slot and saved the episodes for a season ender or something.

Most people don't think Scar Akai is Akai, but is an imposter in disguise as Akai, with Bourbon being the fan favorite guess. Most people think Okiya is Akai.Here is a hint, go back to the snipe-off between Gin and the FBI and look how Akai is holding his rifle in comparison to Gin who is known left-handed, and Chianti who is right-handed. Skip ahead to paper airplane case and look at Okiya. Then move ahead to the bank robber case last chapter and look at Scar Akai's gun handling.

A third question has finally been posted: What is Vermouth's promise with Bourbon? Edit: If anyone has trouble with the poll, please message me.

Chinese pole gymnastics is very rare. I think it is reasonable to rule it out. Also, the marks on her thighs from the bar are solely perpendicular, whereas Chinese pole forms occur at multiple angles and would create wider angle marks on her thighs. Also, unstable and moving is fine when you are used to it. The uneven parallel bars move quite a bit during rotations, but as that is a predictable movement, it is learned and accommodated for in training. It is a world apart from a jerky coaster in the dark where you have no visual compensation for balance. As for possible, I trust my gymnast source's evaluation that her plan would be unsteady and slip prone (meaning she runs into Shinichi or collides with the guy while trying to loop him) if she did not use the relatively stable brace that Shinichi demonstrated, which of course creates the why did Shinichi not notice conundrum.

I am familiar enough with it but you have to consider several points. 1. We are talking about gymnastics, not chinese pole gripping. Women's gymnastics never deals with leg bracing/gripping. 2. She a woman and thus has less strength to work with than the dude in the video.I talked about this with a letterman gymnast, and she concurred with my assessment that a single pole grip is liable to be unsteady because the brace points are closer together. If might not be a problem on a steady system, but the jerking coaster and the dark which removes visual cues makes it a most likely unreliable posture.

Using the method you suggest is not enough to not block the wind. The guard bar is not very wide, so her butt would still be about half in front of Shinichi even with the right skewed leg bracing technique you suggest. She would have to be hanging considerably over the right side of the cart with her chest parallel to the side of the cart to avoid blocking the wind significantly, and as I said that is an unstable position with the required leg brace because most of the weight is on one leg thus it will be more prone to slipping sideways along the bar. I can can draw a picture explaining later today if you like. Blood in the vertebral arteries on average at peak systole flows at .75 m/sec, so putting that into the standard no air resistance constant linear acceleration equation would give you about 3 cm of spurt height for a clean cut artery. http://www.dirjournal.org/pdf/pdf_DIR_45.pdf

It would be damn unstable to lean over the side because most of the burden would be on one leg and it would still alter the wind from that side. Regarding the blood, the order of the scene is this: Shinichi felt the tear, someone screamed behind Shinichi, then Shinichi screamed after he felt the blood from behind (along with Ran), and everyone kicked up a ruckus after that.

It's not the touching/not touching that is the problem here. Shinichi should have noticed that the wind from the ride was obviously blocked by some obstruction. Also, Vodka should have gotten blood on his face, and possibly should have been hit by the severed head as it flew back. Now that I think about it, it was probably Vodka, not the dead guy, who yelled behind Shinichi right before Shinichi felt the blood. There would be no time for the dead guy to yell and the necklace being put on him would have confused him rather than frightened him. Chek has a pet theory the reason Gin and Vodka didn't run away before the police arrived is because they were too busy cleaning themselves up. They couldn't leave while covered in blood.
