I used MangaFox to get all of this information, so some translations (and thus information) might not be reliable. Sorry! I find it funny that Takagi sometimes say something that becomes a hint and helps Conan realize something (i.e. post box, crossing a tightrope, etc.). I'll clean this up later. :D
Wataru Takagi timeline
Volume 18, File 171 (It Must Be Similar…): Takagi met Conan Edogawa for the first time. He also witnessed “The Sleeping Kogorou” for the first time.
Volume 20, File 198, page 13-14 (Tangible Proof): Takagi had some information about the case that he decided not to tell Inspector Megure, thinking that it wasn’t important. Conan asked him what it was. After hearing the info, Conan told Takagi that he should refer it to the inspector because it could be a vital information.
Volume 21, File 205 (Midair Sealed Chamber): Takagi met Kudou Shinichi for the first time (a year before Shinichi shrunk to Conan).
Volume 21, File 209, page 3 (The Inspector’s Investigation): Conan did a deduction show in front of Takagi and Satou for the first time. Satou commented that Conan was pretty good.
Volume 24, File 232 (Finding Evidence): Takagi did an investigation with Conan (and the Detective Boys) for the first time. Side note: Satou believed that Takagi could help solve the case because Conan was with him.
Volume 26, File 256, page 16 (Concealed Truth): Takagi saw Shinichi for the second time (post-shrinkage).
Volume 26, File 260, page 2 (The Memorable Place): Takagi saw Shinichi experiencing spasms.
Volume 27, File 272 (Game Over): Takagi witnessed “The Deduction Queen Sonoko” for the first time.
Volume 29, File 285, page 7 (The Suspicion): Takagi started to discuss case information with Conan without reservation—Satou did so as well—believing that Conan had the capability of discovering things that could be helpful for the case.
Volume 30, File 298, pages 6-7 and 12 (The Time Trap): Satou had just finally witnessed one of Kogorou’s deductions. She was very inquisitive that she watched Kogorou very closely and then pinched his cheeks to make sure whether or not he was actually sleeping during his deduction. I don’t know whether we should put this on the list or not. But considering Takagi was on the scene and saw this, he might be able to use this information for something later on in the story. Later in the file, when the murderer’s identity was uncovered, Conan prepared his power-enhancing kick shoes to neutralize the culprit. But then Takagi intercepted and did the job. Did Takagi saw Conan preparing for the attack? We can only speculate.
Volume 32, File 327, page 4 and 7 (A Stupid Plan): Conan was explaining about UK patrol cars in the 60s and said something about “James’ (Black) generation.” Takagi then wondered in what generation Conan came from, or probably the decade he was born in. Clearly, Takagi suspected Conan’s intelligence or was astonished by it. Later, Takagi and Satou learned about the badges and its functions (maybe not its transmitter function).
Volume 33, File 329, page 9 to 16 (Satou’s Odds): Conan called Takagi as Shinichi (per Conan's request). Later, Takagi questioned Shinichi's involvement in the case. But then, Ran called out for Conan. Did Takagi hear Ran? Again, one can only speculate. I’m also wondering, did Conan already have two phones at this moment? When did he start carrying two phones? Oops… it should be after Volume 47, File 484. Also, Takagi referred to Shinichi as Kudo-kun.
Volume 33, File 336, page 15 (Clean Scent): Takagi commented that even though Conan has a sharp mind, he could act childish sometimes.
Volume 34, File 345, page 8 (The Suspicious Supporters): Takagi directly asked Conan about his intelligence and how did Conan figure out about detaining certain passengers of the train. Conan said that it was per Professor Agasa’s orders.
Volume 36, File 372, page 13 (Inerasable Memory): Takagi asked who Conan really was. Conan replied that he’d tell him “on the other side.”
Volume 40, File 406, pages 13-14 (Misguided but Successful Arrest): Conan used his power-enhancing kick shoes and ball-dispensing belt around Takagi to apprehend the drug dealer. But I don’t think Takagi actually saw the act because he was running in front of Conan.
Volume 43, File 437, page 10 (Ai Haibara’s Resolution): In the previous file, Conan asked Takagi for specific things that would help them solve the case. Takagi was confused but went ahead and fulfilled those requests. Then, in this file, Takagi saw how those things could helped in solving the case. He later commented (not out loud though) that Conan had foreseen what would eventually happen and acted upon it.
Volume 50, File 516, pages 12-13 (Message of the True Criminal): Takagi called the suspects one by one and had let Conan to listen with him. I guess this is not really important, just pointing it out.
Volume 54, File 555, page 6 (A Dreaming Star): Takagi commented on Kogorou's habit of changing his opinions about the case whenever he does his deductions.
Volume 60, File 627, page 4 (The Hammer Man’s True Identity): Apparently, there is a difference between the poses of “The Sleeping Kogorou” and “The Deduction Queen Sonoko,” and Takagi knew about it. *shrugs shoulders*
Volume 60, File 630, page 3 (The Bitter Truth): Inspector Megure and Takagi were stumped about the case and couldn’t find further clues to help them solve it. Inspector Megure then pointed out that, at that point of the investigation, Kogorou should have transformed into “The Sleeping Kogorou.” Takagi agreed, but he also added that before it could happen, Conan sometimes should say something unrelated to the case, which would somehow become a clue in solving it.
Volume 62, File 642, page 15 (False Friendship): Satou received a text message from Conan containing the real identity of the culprit and the location where he would be with Azusa and her brother. In the text, Conan wrote that he figured the case out "by coincidence."
Volume 63, File 653 (My Deduction): Takagi saw Hattori and Kudou working together on the Highway Murder case for the first time. Yes, Takagi saw them both on the Desperate Revival arc but they were working separately.
Volume 63, File 654, pages 3 and 12 (Deduction Answer): Takagi witnessed Shinichi experiencing spasms for the second time.
Volume 63, File 659, page 3 (801, Shakuhachi, and First Class): Takagi was commenting on how good the response of Nichiuri TV staff was after the accident of the head judge of “National Kojima-san Competition,” only to be informed that it was all Conan’s doing. For me, this case reminded me of Shinichi’s first case on the airplane, where he first met Takagi as well. How? Well, in the airplane case, Shinichi had done an investigation (with the help of the airplane staff) even before Inspector Megure and Takagi came in the crime scene. In this case, Conan had done the same thing, this time, with the help of the TV company staff.
Same volume and file, page 7-8: Takagi asked the three suspects questions regarding the competition per Conan’s request. Takagi really trusts Conan’s judgment when it comes to solving a case. Side note: Takagi learned that Conan is a Sherlock Holmes fan (well, to be precise, Conan quoted Holmes. It’s not really a strong evidence to say that Conan’s a Holmes fan.)
Volume 63, File 660, page 7 (Truth about the Contest): Takagi learned that Conan had asked help from Shinichi with regards to solving the Kojima Contest case.
Volume 64, File 671, page 10 (The Connection): Takagi let Conan accompany him in questioning the relatives of the victims of the Whistling Man, while the other Detective Boys waited in his car.
Volume 70, File 735, page 12 (Vengeful Spirit): Takagi seemed to know about Sherlock Holmes stories.
Volume 71, File 761, page 14 (The Truth of the Karuta Cards): Conan used his tranquilizer watch, ball-dispensing belt, and power-enhancing kick shoes in front of Takagi. Oh wait, Conan used the ball-dispensing belt in front of Takagi before (and saw it) if I’m not mistaken. I thinkit was the robbery/“suicide” case, when Takagi was thinking of buying a pin for Satou.
Volume 71, File 770, page (Sera’s Careless Deduction): Takagi referred to Kudou Shinichi as "Shinichi-kun" for the first time.
Volume 73, File 793, page 15 (Private Eye): Takagi met a Black Organization agent (though he didn’t know about it at the time). Hehehe.
Gadgets that Takagi (probably) knows about
- Watch (flashlight and tranquilizer functions)
- Badge (walkie-talkie function, probably not the transmitter function)
- Ball-dispensing belt
- Power-enhancing kick shoes
