Silver bullet

Silver bullet is a recurring nickname in Detective Conan. Depending on the context, it can be a description for people with potential to destroy the Black Organization, a miraculous solution that cuts to the heart of a difficult problem, or an item that destroys evil.

• Elena and Atsushi Miyano used the nickname for a drug they developed. The Miyano's "Silver Bullet" may be closely related to APTX 4869 or simply an earlier name for what would later be called the APTX 4869 project.
• Vermouth uses "silver bullet" as a nickname for Conan Edogawa.
• The Black Organization boss and Vermouth once referred to Shuichi Akai as a silver bullet in reference to the danger he poses to the Organization.
• A cocktail called a silver bullet was a major case clue for the murder on the ghost ship during the showdown with Vermouth.
