Thanks, I was wondering about that. I wish I knew Japanese so I could catch all the name puns. This is brilliant.

No. Try starting a page for Detective Conan in other languages, or something like that. If you want to play around with it first to make it look right ahead of time, try sandboxing it on a user subpage.(http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/User:your_user_name_here/sandbox)

Introduced in the series doesn't mean the boss has actually appeared in person. It could be a name, or even a vague reference to someone's sibling. Also I would like to see the source for this anyway. People say, "Gosho said it in an interview", but where is the interview? Court Record plz?

Some of the translations were changed in between releases. The original chapter said that "The first one to come pester me for an autograph was the elephant. Her hair hadn’t yet dried from her time in the bath... What a burdensome elephant." Now the chapter says the vic's hair hadn't dried yet. Not sure what happened there, but I wish that was made clearer in the first chapter, because it would have helped in the scene recreation. Here is the blow by blow analysis of the crime with a theory to who the culprit is: For questions about the animal->color->profession nickname scheme, see this prior post and the post below it. Analysis of the room and slipper setup Summary of the visiting suspects timeline Analysis of evidence, the culprit, and theory of events Motive As for Isao's bomb, I wonder if it is armed with a dead man's switch, i.e. if he releases the button, it explodes. He did note there is a limit to how long he could stay awake in 771. On the other hand, he was also looking at his watch nervously in 773, indicating they may be timed bombs. Finally that whole "Shinichi wouldn't allow anyone to die! He absolutely wouldn't!!" line may convince Sera that Conan/Shinichi probably didn't come up with a plan that allowed Akai to die. It might result in extra pressure.

Remastering is where they make the audio and the picture quality and colors better. Occasionally the content gets changed between original and remaster.

I wonder if Ran is going to get chewed out by Megure for closing the curtains? It would be funny. Also, it is way too easy to imagine Sera's "WTF Ran" expression on Akai's face. This is the bomb squad's third recent appearance. I wish there was an new officer character associated with them. Finally, I think the Detective Boys are going to figure out Conan is Shinichi before Ran does. Detective Boys suspicion arc... GOOO!!!

Araide? Radish Redwood?

Kogoro pulls them out when Conan isn't looking.

Grey Planner was a rough one.

One common way to write grey in japanese is 鼠色. Which basically is the combination of the characters for mouse/rat and color. It's kind of like how in English we use "orange" (the name of a fruit) to refer to that color between red and yellow. The color wordplay I think there was enough info to get, although it was wordplay and therefore by definition I must loathe the solution. It's interpreting the vic's messages and the ryokan clues that I think there isn't enough info about.

Going on the little comparative evidence we have, Kaito may be better at actually making and executing disguises quickly (although Vermouth disguised as Radish Redwood quickly), but Vermouth is better at acting and staying in character.

ConAi is nice because Ai is more of an intellectual equal to Shinichi and can thus they can run ideas off of each other. Also Haibara is in a better position to sympathize with the current situation Conan is in and Shinichi's work in general which deals with the nastiness of human society. She also is willing to challenge and break Conan's secret keeping habits which sometimes result in destructive outcomes, and be there when Conan is thinking of doing something dangerous. Ai's personality provides a balancing contrast; she has the ability to bring Shinichi down to earth by poking holes in his ego, and more importantly calling him out when he is getting too reckless (Conan's biggest weakness now). AiCon doesn't have the same interpersonal trust and development that ShinRan developed over time though.

I haven't checked the spoilers yet, but I don't think there are enough clues to definitively pick out who is the culprit (by that I mean rule the others out) despite what Conan said. I am curious to know the solution to the ryokan crime part.

Thanks!

Sorry for the double post but the final question is up. I couldn't add another question about what was causing it, but give your thoughts about what it is in the comments! Is it a sniper rifle, just a laser pen, or something else? If you already voted and want to change or vote in the final question, click remove vote and simply recast it. --------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the case there is one obvious theory based on the above colors and the suspects' professions and hobbies. I don't know if it is right... Mitsui's stonemasonry goes with mouse grey (stones are grey) Yuchi's bakery goes with the fox color (think baked bread color) Nihei's seal business goes with the ivory white (seals are made out of ivory/are often ivory white) Isao's camo colored survival gear goes with the nightingale green brown However... did the "rat" really commit the crime? We have more clues to work out including the damp books and the locked room mystery. Remember the poll is not who is the "rat", but who the killer was!

Might as well put this thread to good use... Was Yumi in the Raven Chaser? (Don't rely on the wiki for this one. I'm actually checking someone's edits over there.)

Abs. and I put our heads together about the solution and we noticed the following. There are colors associated with each animal: 狐色 - light brown (fox color - "Kitsune-Iro") 鶯色 (鶯茶) - greenish brown (nightingale color - "Uguisucha") 象牙色 – ivory (elephant tusk color - "Zouge-Iro")[this should be white, but then it would be unreadable...] 鼠色– dark grey, slate (mouse color - "Nezumi-Iro") And then of course there is the issue of the mysterious light pointing in at the detective agency on the last page of 772. Abs. jokingly suggested Subaru with a sniper rifle. Just who or what is it?

Unless of course, scar Akai is not the real Akai. We have a page on the wiki about that.

I think "what episode" questions are fair game though, since that's usually the kind of stuff most people want to ask.

Thanks. That should help.That should rule out Buckteeth because she's the obvious choice for mouse, unless Gosho is double crossing us and the culprit is the obvious choice! I'm crack-voting for Sera until I actually come up with a real theory. Should have had a joke option...
