Crow
From Detective Conan Wiki
Crow (カラス karasu , also written as 鴉 or 烏) is a specie of birds of the genus Corvus, also pronounced karasu in Japanese. They are a main feature in Detective Conan, as they represent darkness and the Black Organization.
The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
In Detective Conan
- Renya Karasuma, the head of the Black Organization, has the character for crow in his surname and is shaped like a crow, also having one as a pet.
- Corvin Castle, a Romanian castle from Transylvania, derivates from the word Corvus and has been shown in a painting two times in the series: in the culprit's apartment from The Fourteenth Target and in the Sunset Manor's piano room from The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid.
- At numerous occasions, when the characters witness the organization, crows fly above them or are near them.
- Two anime original cases focus mainly on them: The Disappearing Weapon Search Case and The City Crows.
- Tengu, a long-nosed demon, is also "Crow billed Tengu" and, like this bird, in a riddle from Crossroad in the Ancient Capital represents Karasuma Avenue in Kyoto.
