| − | {{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is a high ranking member and the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] in ''[[Detective Conan]]''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Background ==
| |
| − | Judging from [[Shuichi Akai]]/[[Subaru Okiya]]'s descriptions, Rum appears to have high rank in the organization and is very close to [[The Boss of the Black Organization|the Boss]]. Later on, [[Ai Haibara]] remarks that Rum is second only to the Boss of the Black Organization, suggesting that he/she is their second-in-command. Rum's identity, sex and mission are currently unknown.

The anime treatment of the "false eye and glasses"-type characters shows their false pupils not contracting or enlarging like their working eye. However, there is no guarantee that Rum will follow either of these character models.

| |
| − | === Scarlet Epilogue (Manga: [[Volume 85#File 898 - Scarlet Epilogue|898]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|783]]) ===
| |
| − | Shuichi Akai (as Subaru Okiya) calls [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Andre Camel]] to the [[Shinichi Kudo|Kudos]]' house. He informs them that the undercover [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent [[Hidemi Hondou]] reported to him that a new organization member is on the move. As she only sent three letters "RUM", Akai deduces that it was done in a hurry. He recalls having heard the code name a few times when he was still infiltrating the organization, and notes that the member seems to be really close to the boss. Akai also tells them to report this back to [[James Black]], while emphasizing that their new threat is someone even more important than [[Gin]].

| − | === Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===
| |
| − | [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] asks [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] about Rum. She tells him that she never met Rum in person but has heard of the number two-ranked agent in the Organization. His/her characteristics differ depending on who is describing him/her. Some say he/she is a strongly-built man, some say he/she looks feminine, and some say he/she is an old man. Others believe that all of these are just descriptions of body substitutes Rum uses. Haibara also says there is one characteristic that is the same for all stories about Rum -- one of his/her eyes is damaged and has been replaced with an artificial eye.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They then encounter a murder case where all three suspects happen to have characteristics like Rum's: Kuramichi Habanaka a 40 years old strong-built man, Ronpei Sakaba a 31 years old feminine-looking man, and Denji Shibakaru a 63 years old man.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Department Store Stabbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 89#Department Store Stabbing_Case|939-941]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | While not directly related to Rum's plot, this case showed how several different people could see the same person and describe them as completely different. The culprit in this case flees down the stairs past various people of different heights and past objects of different colors, which resulted in the [[Detective Boys]] giving contradicting eye witness accounts. To further liken the situation to Rum, Genta even claims that he saw the number two written on the culprits clothes. In addition this case had a [[Mary#Department Store Stabbing Case .28Manga: 939-941.2C Anime: TBA.29|secondary plot point involving mascara]].

| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | After Conan and Subaru solve the murder of Kunihisa Hiyama, they realize they can solve the dying message of [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji's case]]. They decipher the meaning of the missing letters on the mirror of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s room. Kohji's dying message from 17 years ago was "ASACA RUM", so Rum might be involved in his death and the death of [[Amanda Hughes]], a big fan of Koji's, along with the disappearance of [[Asaka]], her bodyguard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since the dying message was "P T O N", the answer to it must contain all of the missing letters of "U MASCARA"<br>
| |
| − | PUT ON MASCARA - P T ON = U MASCARA <br>
| |
| − | U MASCARA - ASACA (for Asaka) = U M R<br>
| |
| − | Which can be rearranged to make RUM<br>

| − | === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#The Soul Detective|951]]-[[Volume 90#As If Connecting with a Demon in the Darkness|953]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | Conan decides that the missing bodyguard [[Asaka]] is most likely Rum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After the case was over [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] speaks to [[Mary]] and says that the only information that [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]], the soul detective, had was that he believed Asaka to be a woman. He was going to pretend that he had summoned Kohji's spirit and have it say that a woman was going to kill him. According to Masumi, the culprit said that someone saw Asaka holding "that small mirror<!-- with a handle-->".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Conan considers that if Asaka is Rum, then perhaps what Haibara said about being feminine refers to looking girly on the outside but strong like a man on the inside. If Rum had been a bodyguard 17 years ago, then their age must be pretty high. Conan also ponders the possibility that Mary is Rum after having shrunken, being girly yet strong and older than she looks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === A song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|954-957]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]], a famous artist coming back from a seventeen year hiatus, announces a new song called "ASACA". Because of the spelling and the timing, Conan and [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] go to the concert hall to investigate. There they encounter [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and [[Vermouth]] in disguise as [[Azusa Enomoto]] who are trying to get in as well. Their presence suggests that the Black Organization decoded Kohji's dying message mirror and are investigating for the same reasons as Subaru and Conan. By the end of the case, both groups determine that the song being named "ASACA" is only a coincidence and not related to Rum or Kohji's murder.

| |

| − | === Curse of the Nue (Manga: [[Volume 90#Curse of the Nue|958]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | Conan inwardly comments about Vermouth and Amuro's presence in the last case. He states that they must have been there because they know about the code "ASACA RUM" that was left by Kohji Haneda 17 years ago. When Azusa mentions that she had seen two strangers approach the detective agency, Conan immediately assumes that it might have been Gin and Vodka, but it turns out to be [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] instead.

| − | == Non-Canon Plot Overview ==
| |
| − | === Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]] ===
| |
| − | Rum doesn't appear in this movie directly:
| |
| − | * Ai imagines his/her three silhouettes like in [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|file 906]], and his/her artificial eye.
| |
| − | * When she finally regained her lost memory, a [[Curaçao]]'s flashback shows Rum speaking to [[Vermouth]] through a computer in an altered voice. Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the Organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his/her right-handed agent.
| |
| − | * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute [[Toru Amuro|Bourbon]] and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he/she received a new messsage, apparently from Curaçao, that they weren't NOCs.
| |
| − | * Rum also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.
| |
| − | * Vermouth has a conversation with him/her by the end titles, while she is in her car along with [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]]. She lets Kir listen to what he/she has to say before hanging up.

| − | === Organization ===
| |
| − | ==== The Boss ====
| |
| − | [[The Boss of the Black Organization]] is his/her only direct superior.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Gin ====
| |
| − | [[Gin]] referred to the [[Kohji Haneda]] and [[Amanda Hughes]] double murder as a "job [that] Rum screwed up."
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Curaçao (Movie 20) ====
| |
| − | [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-handed agent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the Organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but Rum's voice stopped her. Rum then appointed her as her right-hand agent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rum then charges her to break into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department|Tokyo police headquarters]] and accesses classified secret files on spies planted in the Black Organization by many intelligence agencies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Speculation ==
| |
| − | === Gender ===
| |
| − | So far, all the Black Organization codenames for men are liquors while women's codenames are wine or wine-based cocktails. Rum should be a man if this pattern holds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Haibara's list of potential descriptions "strong man, feminine man, and elderly man" all suggest Rum is a man, although Conan has entertained the possibility Rum is a woman by suspecting [[Mary]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Conan currently suspects an individual named [[Asaka]] is Rum. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]], who witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, believed Asaka was a woman. Hotta's reliability is questionable, because the hand mirror—typically a woman's accessory—that a witness saw Asaka holding could have been Kohji's.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Individual characters ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Asaka ====
| |
| − | Conan implicates the missing bodyguard [[Asaka]] as Kohji Haneda's and Amanda Hughes' killer from 17 years ago. The encoded dying message left by Kohji using a broken mirror seems to point to Asaka being Rum. While it unclear whether Asaka is Rum or merely related (the extent of Kohji's knowledge of Rum and Asaka and how he came by it is unclear), the Black Organization itself believes the decoding "ASACA RUM" is correct by being paranoid about things named "Asaca" with a C connected to a 17 year ago timeframe. [[Volume 90#The Soul Detective|Gaito Hotta]] assumed Asaka was female. Gin refers to Kohji Haneda's murder as "a job which Rum had screwed up seventeen years ago..."<ref name="file953"/>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Mary ====
| |
| − | Conan considers the possibility [[Mary]] is Rum after being shrunken. She is feminine but tough on the inside like a man and perhaps older than she looks, which is one way of interpreting Haibara's description of Rum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:Kuroda full face image.jpg|90px|right|]]
| |
| − | ==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
| |
| − | [[Hyoue Kuroda]] is chief of the first division of Nagano Police and first introduced at the end of file 913. He is a middle-aged strong-built man with white hair that makes him look older. Kuroda has a bad right eye surrounded by extensive facial scarring which he hides behind a darkened glasses lens, but the eye is shown to be closed similar to Kansuke's eye socket and not an artificial eye like Rum is described as having. The circumstances behind the loss of his right eye are unclear, but it likely involved burning or caustic chemicals considering the extent of the scarring.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kuroda's favorite drink is black tea, which is actually a dark red color.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''In file 925, Haibara said to Conan that [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|she hadn't felt the Black Organization "aura" from Kuroda]]. She had only gripped Conan's shoulder because Hyoue's face and expression were really scary. In fact, she implied Kuroda couldn't be Rum as he saw her and should have noticed she resembles [[Shiho Miyano]]. If he were Rum, he would've broken into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, yet this didn't happen.'''
| |
| − | {{clear}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Rumi Wakasa ====
| |
| − | [[Rumi Wakasa]] is the new Deputy Homeroom Teacher at Teitan Elementary school for Year 1 Class B. Her personality seems to be that of a really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of the Detective Boys, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face. Most likely her name is meant to resemble "ASAKA RUM", the code from [[Kohji Haneda]]'s death, with the addition of a W and an I.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Wakita Kanenori ====
| |
| − | Wakita is a sushi chief, edokko (tokyo-ite) detective. Conan considers him a suspect.
| |
| − | {{clear}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Kansuke Yamato ====
| |
| − | [[Kansuke Yamato]] is a strong young man, but limps like an old man because he uses a cane to compensate for an injured left leg. Kansuke has long hair pulled back into a ponytail which could be considered feminine if he let it down. Kansuke's left eye is also damaged, but he does not use an artificial eye. '''Gosho Aoyama disclaimed Kansuke Yamato from being Rum in two animal crossing hints.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Taka'aki Morofushi ====
| |
| − | [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] is a young man with a feminine physique. So far, there's been no indication he has a prosthetic eye.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Shukichi Haneda ====
| |
| − | [[Shukichi Haneda]] is a young man with no indication of a prosthetic eye. He has seen both Conan and Haibara twice, giving him an easy opportunity to find Sherry and report it to the Black Organization.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Kiyonaga Matsumoto ====
| |
| − | [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]] is a middle-aged strongly-built man whose left eye has a scar over it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== The Old Man at Shuichi Akai's loyalty test ====
| |
| − | Since Gin never appeared at the loyalty test, it was very likely the old man was a member of the Black Organization who went to scout ahead and reported that "Dai Moroboshi" was a spy. If he has a prosthetic eye is unknown, and he does not appear effeminate nor strongly built.

| − | | |
| − | === Three descriptions for one person ===
| |
| − | Various members of the Black Organization all disagree about Rum's overall appearance. For this to be the case, Rum must not present himself/herself to others straightforwardly. There are several possibilities why this could be:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Rum can disguise himself/herself well.
| |
| − | ::Fairly straightforward as far as explanations go, Rum could appear to different agents with different faces and builds leading to confusion. Since he/she is the number two of the Black Organization and likely close to [[The Boss of the Black Organization|the boss]], he/she has a need for security and secrecy and is probably also multi-talented like most other codenamed agents.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * He/she has features of all three types leading to different conclusions.
| |
| − | :: Rum might have features of all three types of builds so that each witness comes to a different conclusion about his appearance depending on what they personally emphasize. As an example, Kansuke Yamato is a strongly built man, uses a cane like an old man, and his ponytail could give someone the impression he/she is feminine. If Kansuke tended to only appear to others in shadowed environments, then it's possible he/she could be mistaken for an old man or even a woman when viewed in profile.
| |
| − | :: The confusion may not stem solely from appearance. In [[Volume 89#Department Store Stabbing Case|The Department Store Stabbing Case]], the three [[detective boys]] give conflicting statements of the same stabber because they each saw different things depending on their vantage points and personal prejudices. [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4]] and [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love]] are cases with a similar theme. Similarly, members of the Black Organization with different backgrounds might come to different conclusions depending on the context they encounter Rum in.
| |
| − | :: If members of the Black Organization only interact with Rum by video-phone conversation, they might come to different conclusions about his appearance depending on how he/she speaks. If Rum uses old style Japanese like an elderly person might, has a deep voice like that of a well built man, but is excessively polite and uses pronouns like {{nihongo|watashi|私}}, then three different conclusions of his overall appearance can result.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The codename Rum is shared by more than one person.
| |
| − | ::Also self explanatory, but requires each Rum persona to have a fake eye - a pretty unlikely coincidence if each of their eyes was lost in a separate accident.
| |
| − | ::In a [[postcards|postcard]] from Gosho in 2016 he said that Rum was one person.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Rum uses body doubles.
| |
| − | ::Rum using body doubles with different builds was suggested by Haibara to explain why different Black Organization agents had different impressions.<ref name="906p3"/> It does not explain the fake eye common between them, unless these doubles were required to wear one.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Contradictions about the fake eye ===
| |
| − | [[File:Nick_griffin_bnp_from_flickr_user_britishnationalism_(cropped).jpg|thumb|right|A man with a prosthetic eye (left eye)]]It is particularly odd that the Black Organization members are unanimous about Rum having a fake eye while disagreeing about obvious appearance facts that are typically the first to be noticed. Prosthetic eyes are usually subtle, as shown in the picture on the right, and can be easily mistaken for some other type of ocular problem such as lazy eye. That implies there is some distinct reason why everyone agrees that Rum has a prosthetic eye while disagreeing about other obvious facts. There are several possibilities why this might be:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The prosthetic eye Rum uses when talking to other members of the Black Organization is very obviously fake
| |
| − | ::While such an obvious fake eye would be detrimental in public because it would draw attention, Rum may prefer using a non-subtle prosthetic when in the presence of the rest of the Black Organization. For instance, Rum could use an obvious fake for the purposes of intimidation or to draw attention away from the rest of him/her so that he is not well remembered. Rum could also use a mechanical gadget in place of his/her eye that augments his/her vision.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Rum's prosthetic eye is a rumor everyone knows.
| |
| − | ::One possible reason everyone agrees about Rum's fake eye is because it is an oft-circulated fact that he/she has one. Perhaps there is some tale about how he/she lost it that gets passed from member to member. In this case, it wouldn't even matter if Rum actually had a fake eye so long as everyone was inclined to say that he/she did.

| − | :* Please note that Gosho, as a crossover joke, has introduced a character named [[wikipedia:_Lum_Invader|Lum Invader]] from another manga as the Black Organization member Rum. Gosho also showed Lum in a panel in file 906 and referenced the earlier gag in the concurrent Sherry's soliloquy. Gosho may have been intending to mislead fans with this animal crossing by exploiting the ambiguity between Rum and Lum.
