Kaitou1412 4 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Ok so in episode 400, Ran almost finds out that Conan is actually Shinichi. She makes a few guesses to crack "Conan's" phone lock and finally gets the 4869 because it was "Shi-Ha-Ro-Ku" aka "Sherlock".. But among the guesses she made, she thought of Holmes in numbers as so: 4062. How does 4062 become "Holmes"? Please tell me!! I thought of all the different possible ways but I just don't understand.. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southpaw 61 Report post Posted August 28, 2010 wait... the 1st post said that 4 is shi but the 2nd said that it is ho... which is correct??? maybe it's one of those things where some kanji can have a couple different ways to pronounce them (which is why many times you'll see hiragana printed small above them) that's just a guess, I don't know if it's right ;; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiel95 86 Report post Posted August 28, 2010 well considering the fact that there are a lot of different translations for the numbers, that is a reason. I mean, there is older way of counting like, hi, fu, mi, or ichi, ni, san, etc etc etc i liked the liscense plate number they would've given mouri, i don't remember the numbers but i know it was go go yogo... or go go yoko ^-^ that was funny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scar Akai 65 Report post Posted August 28, 2010 Japanese is so weird... Why must they make a lot of pronunciations for a single word??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
