Trivia

• The Fusae brand is referenced in other episodes. In the anime, it can be heard as the Sai brand instead. This is actually the result of mishearing the name Fusae: as when speaking Japanese, it is common to devoice the /i/ and /u/ vowels between voiceless consonants. So, in the name /fusae/, because both the /f/ and the /s/ are voiceless consonants, the /u/ vowel between them is devoiced, resulting in a very weak and difficult to notice presence. With the absence of the vowel, the preceding /f/ would be heard as an exhale and not be heard as part of the word, leaving just /sae/, itself easily misheard as /sai/ when spoken fast. The word itself is still being pronounced as /fusae/, and not /sai/.
• After Fusae loaned Ran her umbrella and Ran promised to buy one of Fusae's designed purses in return when she got older, she managed to do so in episodes 421-422 where she was in line with Sonoko to get a new brand name item which was Fusae's limited edition brand name purses and confirmed by Gosho in an interview called Love Conan Interview Dated March 31, 2014, with Gosho.
• Ran has a Fusae brand pouch (file 994) and purse (files 410-412 and the Love Conan Interview).
• Both Sonoko and Ai Haibara have an interest in the Sai brand.
