A: Probably Guan Yu. He's a good businessman, and is a strong fighter.

A: Of course he is! (laughs)

Q36: Amuro went and sacrificed his own car (the RX-7) to save Conan, but being that crash should've wrecked it. Did he buy the car he drives after that secondhand?

Q56: Will there be Shinichi and Ran's wedding at the end of the manga?
A: What's going to happen? Look forward to it (laugh)

Q57: Gin's not going to really turn out to be a good guy, is he?
A: No way! (roars with laughter)

Q58: What do you think of the 'wall slam' technique that's popular in Shoujo manga lately? I'd like it if you did a 'wall slam' scene in Detective Conan.
[Note: A 'wall slam' (kabe don) is a situation 1) where a boy corners a girl by slamming his hand against a wall with his body over her, trapping her, usually in a romance scene; or 2) when someone gets so angry out of frustration that they want to punch a wall]
A: I've drawn Ran doing a 'telephone pole slam' on Shinichi before, actually...

Q59: I like black-skinned people. I really want Hattōri Heiji, Kyōgoku Makoto, and Amuro Tōru to appear together in the manga. If applying the tone is troublesome, you could just make two of them appear at the same time. Please, Aoyama-sensei!
A: Now, with computer painting, applying the tone is easy; but drawing them is bothersome, so… (laugh)

Q60: What do you think will happen to Shinichi and Ran after graduating high-school?

Q64: I want to see a collaboration between Sera-chan and Hakuba-kun!
A: You do? How come? (laughs)

Q65: Were you the one to chose Noriko Hidaka as the voice actor for Sera, or is it a member of the production company who chose her?

A: Do you want her to?

Q67: Does Sera know about the Black Org?
A: She doesn't know.

Q68: Does Sera have a boyfriend?
A: No! But there is someone... (laugh)

Q69: Please tell me if there is anything surprising about Akai, Amuro, and Sera! (Q42 and Q69 are related.)
A: They're all tone deaf, or something (laughs)
[Note: Later on in the thread, someone clarifies that the original says オンチ in both cases, which in that context can mean anything from being tone deaf, or completely hopeless with directions. Gosho never used kanji to write that word, so it could mean that they're all horrible at something.]

Q70: Does Akai-san have a gun he really likes? He’s always using the one he stole from a Black Org member… When he shot Gin with a rifle, what kind of rifle was it?
A: I should ask my assistant Yamagishi.

Q71: Akai-san has repeated that he would "give his life to protect someone". Is it a foreshadowing for his death?
A: Stay tuned!

Q72: Before Akai came to Japan in Volume 29, did he investigate or solve any cases as an FBI agent in America? I'm curious about what happened during the two years Akai was in America after he left the BO.
A: He investigated normal cases and also cases involving the BO. As for why/how Akai became an FBI agent, I can't tell you right now. (laughs)

Q73: Does Akai-san like kids?
A: He has come to like them (laugh)

Q74: Could someone like Akai be real?
A: No, it's impossible (laugh)

Q75: Does Shuichi Akai have back pain?
A: Why? (laughs)

Q76: If you went on a date with Shuichi Akai, where do you think he'd take you?
A: He'd probably keep driving for the whole thing.

Q77: What types of women do Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro like?
A: Let's see... Akai would like someone who can have a controlling aura without saying a word. And Amuro would like someone who doesn't mind him talking all the time.

Q78: I want a real Subaru Okiya to appear, one that isn't Shuichi Akai in disguise, Yusaku Kudo in disguise, or anyone at all in disguise. Is that an impossible request?
A: I guess it is...

Q79: Is Akai Okiya?
A: Sorry, please go read the manga.

Q80: Will Chiba be married?
A: Will he? (laugh)

Q81: How much money does the BO make annually? Is it more than what you make?

A : You want it~?

A: I didn't do it on purpose, but I like it!

Q87: While solving all the problems in Conan, will the mystery on Kaito's father getting killed get solved in the mean time as well?
A: They won't be solved at the same time! Moreover, he didn't get killed!

Q88: Eisuke Hondo hasn't reappeared yet?
A: Not for the moment, but he's going to be interesting!

Q89: Why are there red bricks on the covers of the volumes?
A: The design department decided it.

Q90: In Detective Conan, who is like Aoyama-sensei?
A: Kogoro Mori.

Q91: Is Ran better in karate than she was before?
A: If there was karate at the Olympics, she would get the Gold Medal (laugh)

Q92: I hope women characters are going to give kicks in the crotch of other characters!

Q93: What is Ran and Shinichi's bloodtype? Isn't it type B?

A: Don't think that being rich means being happy (laugh)

Q102: Hello, Aoyama-sensei! My name is Ken because my father is a fan of Hokuto no Ken. I really like Detective Conan so I want to name to name my child after Conan, but Conan is written in Japanese, and my name in Chinese. I don't know what to choose.
