First of all, I want to say thank you for this blog. I really enjoyed your ideas and reasoning and I will miss this.

Second. There are funny idea in my head that Toto knew from the start exactly how the story would end. It's just a funny au where Toto knew exactly how things would go. Then it would explain why he acts so closed and professional with Ron, as well as his mistakes in the investigation. Because he knew from the very beginning who wouldn't leave the island :3

But this is just food for thought, I honestly don't really believe that Toto will survive, but we'll see what happens in the last chapter.

Heya! If AA chose to make the manga in hiatus we could still look for clues and talk about them, but now that it is going to end the need to analyse it is futile. I think that’s what I also love about it. And just like you I would miss it.

But we have alternate universes and we can fix the plot holes like we always do.

Tell me more about this story idea of yours. How so?

AA could leave the ending an open end, or she could openly show us that she killed him off really. The reason her showing us the old panels was suspect to me at first. Recounting their past lives together. But it would irritate me if she would show us a part of Toto’s backstory.

Thank you for the messages throughout this time and thank you for fuelling ideas into my brain.

Apart from the many things that need to be addressed, we still haven’t seen the face of Ron’s tomcat. One of the Chekhov’s guns that we thought would be fired but not at all. Guess there’s nothing about it really.

If the latest chapter would begin with Toto’s childhood, his interaction with his grandmother, his home, everything about his backstory squeezed in a few pages, that would be cruel, so cruel indeed.

Too late. Too brutal. Too rude.

Please don’t do this. It feels like a waste, or worse, a kick in the stomach.

You’ve won, Ron!

When the Moriarty progenies acknowledged Ron’s genius, bad things happened.

As the finale is approaching, i just want to say thank you so much for this blog!! For almost a year or two now whenever rkdd updates i rush over here to see what you think, its always the highlight of chapter update day if yk what i mean, so im grateful to you!!! I love seeing your posts, and your insight on Dr Watson's character. May you receive many rontotos (whatever that means) I appreciate you!!!! So much!!!! (⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ(⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ

Oh my god! Thank you so much for this message. Honestly, it made me smile despite this disappointment I am feeling inside.

I am still hoping that this is a matter of misunderstanding between AA and the PR of Shueisha. But methinks AA either has had enough of it or the publication axed it. But I think it is the former. Strange that AA has chosen the weapon of destruction to annihilate her characters that is happening in the real world in real time.

Now that it is going to end I wonder if we are getting another anime. That’s the least of what they can do. But I am afraid that we aren’t going to get it at all.

Thank you very much for following. I appreciate it so much.

I am devoid of poetry. This story is so abrupt. I feel so empty. AA ending it without telling us about Toto. He’s a blank canvas. Always been. Lately he doesn’t talk about his grandmother. I have a feeling she’s died and he doesn’t want others to know what he’s truly feeling. So instead of bothering Ron about the pain of losing the last relative he’s had he stays with Ron and shares his troubles. He has no one. He has nothing. So that explains his lack of self-preservation. Death is natural. Death is unkind. He’s ready to sacrifice his life all the time. But with Ron he has uses. Ron needs him at the moment. Ron needs an anchor. He’s ready to give him that. On that day he’s seen his chance. When Ron wants to follow Alice, Toto has disagreed. His friend just got his father back, who he lost once but now has returned to him. Amamiya has Winter. Everyone has someone to hold onto. He, Toto, has no one. He’s the perfect choice to do this task because no one is waiting for him. If he dies, no one has to grieve him. Ron will forget him. He has his parents. He’s only Toto. He’s not important.

Don’t die, Toto. (AA, don’t let him die!) We need you. And you are wrong. Ron needs you so much. You are loved.

[a-forbidden-detective]

Focusing too much on RonToto we haven’t talked about Winter’s growing attachment to Amamiya.

Perhaps it is all for naught.

[a-forbidden-detective]

Maybe after this he’d have an amnesia. He’ll forget that past identity and would live somewhere else without knowing his previous life. Maybe he’d get bored bc something was missing. Hopefully once he realised this he would think twice and learn from his past mistakes and change his ways.

I know that it will come soon. But this ? I am shocked, everyone.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Toto what is with you and your suicidal tendencies ?

[a-forbidden-detective]

If Toto didn’t follow Alice, Ron would. But of course, their reasons are different from each other. Ron would follow Alice bc he ached for her reasons, the truth of her game, and he wanted to make sure that she wouldn’t come back. But Toto, I know that you have a brand, an ethos, to follow due to your set of morals and your selflessness. Still, AA, does he have to prove that passé blurb you’ve relegated to Toto, “pure, naïve, idiot” police officer ?

[a-forbidden-detective]

Anyway, the Detective Alliance is the most inept of all the institutions, which particularly boasts of all its number of detectives.

[a-forbidden-detective]

Yes, Ron, grieve for Toto. Grieve for that partner you’ve taken for granted.

[a-forbidden-detective]

Am speechless. I don’t think Toto will die. Maybe he will contact amnesia. Maybe bc of the impact of the cluster bombs he’ll be thrown out from the island. He will survive, be saved by a fisherman, live in a nearby island with a new identity. Then memories will start to surface and before he knows it three years have passed. Like in Sherlockian universe where SH was away for three years.

Maybe. But would I like this ending? I would not think so.

Or it is just a dream all along.
