| |
| − | {{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the second main antagonist in ''[[Detective Conan]]''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Background ==
| + | [[Category:Soft Redirect]] |
| − | Judging from [[Subaru Okiya]]'s descriptions, Rum appears to have high rank in the organization and is very close to [[Renya Karasuma|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. While she had never met Rum herself, she had overheard other members of the BO give seemingly contradicting descriptions. Rum's identity, sex and mission are currently unknown.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rum was involved with the death of [[Kohji Haneda]], [[Case from 17 years ago|17 years ago]]. [[Gin]] implies that it is an incident in which Rum had screwed up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[Volume 95|file 1008]] was confirmed that Rum is one of these three main suspects: [[Kanenori Wakita]], [[Rumi Wakasa]], and [[Hyoue Kuroda]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wakasa seems to have known a murder was going to occur from the conversation between the victim and the culprit, yet she didn't try to prevent it. Her motive remains unknown. Then, between Kuroda and Wakita, she can be the most suspicious as Rum, because that's a crime.

| |
| − | [[File:793 fake eye.jpg|thumb|right|Three silhouettes with fake eyes (episode 793).]]
| |
| − | Rum has a damaged eye which has been replaced with an artificial eye. It is unknown which eye was damaged.<ref>Manga Volume 86, File 4</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Various Black Organization members have given conflicting accounts of his/her overall appearance and build. Some say Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he/she looks feminine, and some say he/she is an old man.<ref>Manga Volume 86, File 2</ref> The conflicting descriptions of Rum's appearance suggests that he/she doesn't present himself to others in a straightforward fashion.

| |
| − | === 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 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: [[The Detective Boys in a Grove|843-844]]) ===
| |
| − | 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]].

| − | | |
| − | === Kohji Haneda's Death Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|862]]) ===
| |
| − | [[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Asaka's photo.]]
| |
| − | 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>
| |
| − | making the answer "ASACA RUM"
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#The Soul Detective|951]]-[[Volume 90#As If Connecting with a Demon in the Darkness|953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===
| |
| − | Conan decides that the missing bodyguard Asaka is most likely Rum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After the case was over [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] speaks to [[Mary Sera|Mary]] and says that the only information that 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: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===
| |
| − | [[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 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: [[Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend|872]]) ===
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#File 975 - A True Tokyoite Detective!?|975]], Anime: [[Next-Door Tokyo-Style Deduction Show|894]]) ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Burning Tent Murder Case|987-989]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | Kuroda is shown looking at the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]] on his computer. He seems to make some kind of connection between the case and Rumi Wakasa. This story incidentally, also reveals that Rumi cannot see with her right eye, squarely making her a candidate for Rum's true identity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The Field Trip to Kyoto (Manga: [[Volume 95#File 1005 - The Dark Crimson Omen|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | In the end of the case, the three Rum suspects, [[Wakasa Rumi]], [[Kanenori Wakita]] and [[Hyoue Kuroda]] are mentioned in the side notes. All three suspects appear in the same page, and seemingly focusing on Shinichi's involvement in the case.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#File 1008 - See? ♡|1008]], Anime: TBA) ===
| |
| − | Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".

| − | == Non-Canon Plot Overview ==
| |
| − | === Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]] ===
| |
| − | Rum doesn't appear in this movie directly:
| |
| − | * Haibara imagines his/her three silhouettes as 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 Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he/she received a new message, 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 Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he/she has to say before hanging up.

Presently, Rum 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.
