Characters That Gets On Your Nerves!

[Aeyra 260]

Someone's due for another round of Spider mansion, Mermaid, and Heiji and Kazuha captured by an evil lawyer cases.

And I've figured out ways that makes all of it invalid on Heiji's part. Spider Mansion- Wouldn't all of us be worried sick (and angry) if our best friend just nearly got killed? Doesn't mean I'm in love with them. And the fact Heiji doesn't blush while suggesting he and Kazuha sleep together for warmth is a pretty big sign that he doesn't think of her in that way. Mermaid- I think if my best friend (or brother) just saved me from falling down a cliff, fell down themselves, and now we're both dangling precariously from a branch, I'd do everything in my power to save both of us. Notice romantic thoughts cone only from Kazuha. Evil Lawyer Case- No, Heiji obviously didn't suddenly realize he had feelings for Kazuha or he'd have mentioned it later in the series, or at least he'd blush more often. If he actually had something to say, I think he's brave enough to say it. The fact that he stumbles and cones up with "Your ponytail tickles, that's all!" shows he didn't actually come up with anything. And don't even get me ranting on why Heiji obviously likes Shinichi.

^ Lol :grin:

Hmm, I suppose mine would be Ayumi! Dammit, so annoying and not even funny! I know she's a kid and all but that's no excuse

[Parkur 165]

*removes Ran from the show*

*replaces her with Kazuha*

Oh look it's a better show! :V

[tengaku squared 291]

[Sherlock Lupin 41]

Ran's character just doesn't appeal to me, I find her annoying beyond all reason :/

*removes Ran from the show*

*replaces her with Kazuha*

Oh look it's a better show! :V

I know exactly what you mean. Just can't find it in my hear to like her character.

[Aeyra 260]

I just can't find it in me to like Kazuha... I prefer Ayumi over her, at least Ayumi is... I dunno, but Ayumi seems much less annoying now. More adorable if you imagine her as a doting bunny rabbit that's always following Conan around. *nods* I have strange ways of changing my own views... And I like Ran. For some reason, she makes me think of my friend. Strong, determined, works hard, is the main caretaker of little brother (AKA she's the strict one), cooks, responsible, but my friend doesn't like anyone at the current moment. Says she never will. But whatever, Ran doesn't annoy me either way. At least she's got some sort of imperfection in her. (unlike Tohru Honda... Most annoying heroine EVER!!! Unless you want to count Ebony from 'My Immortal') Kazuha on the other hand... I have no intention of imagining her in a fluffy bunny suit nor does she remind me of a friend. She's loud, kind of arrogant, gets jealous and possessive of Heiji despite the fact she's not his girlfriend, and is a photocopy of Ran with minor tweaks, and despite the fact I like Ran, I cannot stand two. (or three... Aoko annoys me too.)

[Parkur 165]

Isn't ran just a whiny, over-emotional version of aoko? :V

[Moonlight Magician 98]

Isn't ran just a whiny, over-emotional version of aoko? :V

Forgot the cone hair?

[Akazora 293]

Shiratori He has this annoying LOOK..... gahh.... xD

Agreed. He sort of reminds me of T.M. from our school for some reason...

And T.M. can get on my nerves...

[Parkur 165]

Forgot the cone hair?

oh yeah, forgot about the awful hairstyle

[CarpetCrawler 280]

Isn't ran just a whiny, over-emotional version of aoko? :V

If you were put in her place, with the person you love more than anything else being... well, just like Shinichi, let's see you stay sane. :V

One day we're gonna see an episode where Ran's gonna be placed in a white room in a fetal position while wearing a strait jacket. She's gonna have cross eyes. ON A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE OF DETECTIVE CONAN.

I don't understand how CC makes my worst nightmares come to life. It scares me.

[Parkur 165]

Boo hoo my parents, who still love each other and care for me, are seperated and my best friend/crush is always busy, but still contacts me by phone and even confessed to me that he likes me :( :( I'm going to cry for the rest of my life.

My dad is also a country- renown detective and I have great friends <- Nice summary of ran

[Aeyra 260]

Well, she's been overdone, but it is still not a great situation. Parents separated- I've heard that parents fighting that much damages the psychology of young kids, and Ran can't have been that old when her parents started fighting. Imagine the four, five year old Ran crying alone in her bedroom, clutching her pillows to her ears to drown out the angry yells, curled up in her covers, scared, and without an idea of what to so. That image helps me convince myself I care. (maybe not, but whatev.) And then Ran's been the one managing her household probably as early as elementary school- have you ever seen Kogoro cook or clean or do whatever? She also has karate, high school, somewhat of a social life, and has to take care of a little brother. On top of that, the best friend who she loves and is closer than a brother has suddenly disappeared after being a centerpiece in her life, an essential piece of her foundation, for ten years. No wonder she's shaky. And crying doesn't mean you're weak. It takes done courage to cry, and in a way, Ran's crying for Shinichi to. Because she can say the things he cannot and he can echo them as she clutches him right when things become too much. And Aoko is way different. I dunno why exactly (other than the fact Ran looks like her- well, Magic Kaito came first, but I discovered DC 'fore that). I think Aoko would be as 'pathetic' if Kairo suddenly disappeared, not to mention she doesn't even have a mom to consult with. Though something tells me someone's going to use that against me to argue that would make Aoko better. ... ... But that's my defense, and Kazuha and Aoko still annoy me.

My dad is also a country- renown detective and I have a great rich friend <- Nice summary of ran

fixed.

[Aeyra 260]

I wonder how Ran became Sonoko's friend anyway... They're almost polar opposites. In terms of personality at least...

[Parkur 165]

Sonoko: *sigh* What am I going to do with all this money? :/

Ran: ...I could use a new dress *troll face*

Sonoko: ...Okay, let's go!

Ran: ... o.O

[Chekhov MacGuffin 1089]

You know, Ran has never once complained about her parents being separated. Sure she tries to get them back together, but she is emotionally balanced in that regard. There are at least a dozen places where she cries annoyingly, you don't have to go making one up to make a point about it.

My dad is also a country- renown detective and I have a great rich friend <-

Sonoko: *sigh* What am I going to do with all this money? :/

Ran: ...I could use a new dress *troll face*

Sonoko: ...Okay, let's go!

Ran: ... o.O

There was a case about how Ran actually purposefully avoids doing this. She doesn't go with Sonoko when she can't pay for everything herself. (V39-8 pg 17)

Also tone down the character bashing Parkur.

[Aeyra 260]

Yeah, she's a pretty nice girl. (but thankfully not a Tohru Honda...) She has her bad points, but don't we all? Who hasn't cried at one point or the other? You only see Ran as such a crybaby because Gosho focuses on it, and she has a life outside crying. If we only showed the parts where Ai was weak, than what would you think of her? (course, Ai doesn't cry, but she's going through some serious mental turmoil too. And someone needs to tell her it's perfectly okay to cry. It'd make her more real to me.) And you don't see Ran prancing around chanting 'My dad's an awesome, FAMOUS detective.' That's more of Shinichi's style. (course, he's chanting about himself... XD) She's humble, strong, but simply not strong enough. Is there something wrong with not being able to handle the emotional rollercoaster of being a teenager sometimes?

[Misaki-chan 164]

I wonder how Ran became Sonoko's friend anyway... They're almost polar opposites. In terms of personality at least...

The same for Sato and Yumi. I wonder how those two became friend....

[Anti-APTX4869 181]

The same for Sato and Yumi. I wonder how those two became friend....

One thing I dislike about Haibara is when she doesn't act like herself.

[Akazora 293]

I wonder how Ran became Sonoko's friend anyway... They're almost polar opposites. In terms of personality at least...

I guess it's more of Gosho's way of putting in a set of foil characters. Foil characters are characters that are opposites of each other, and they can either be great friends or worst enemies, depending on the situation. This can be seen in literature a lot when you look closely. It isn't anything that special.

[Aeyra 260]

I know, but I'd like to see the story behind it. Usually such things happen through fighting, right?
