#detective conan theory

[rainhorizons]

in the “solving mysteries at cafe poirot” case, our assumption is that iori went to tokyo to check on heiji for momiji. while that isn’t entirely untrue, there are some things that remain a bit… suspicious.

firstly, why didn’t momiji tag along? it would’ve been much easier for her to observe heiji if she was there herself. i guess maybe she was busy and couldn’t come? secondly, if she did want to see heiji, why did she wait until he was all the way in tokyo and not osaka, which is way closer to kyoto? it just doesn’t make sense.

also when iori came into the cafe, both conan and heiji did not notice his arrival not his presence. considering these two react strongly to any sort of suspicious surroundings, this appears to be quite strange. on top of all that, iori deliberately used a fake name, even though neither heiji nor conan knew him at that point.

so after all that, why was iori there? yes, he says that he was sent on a mission there by momiji. however, in the “truth behind the door” (ch 1090) case, kuroda mentions iori meeting furuya at the cafe, to which iori gives his opinions on him. i might just be overthinking this, but what if iori was there to check on heiji and furuya at the same time? perhaps hinting at the fact that iori might also be related to the psb. he also mentioned that furuya hasn’t seemed to “let go of the past yet.” huh.

Detective Conan Rumi Wakasa is Vermouth Theory

[prompt-master]

The continuity of this show is so dead man, you've got people using smart phones in a pre-conan flashback, and Ran has a flipphone despite it being established that her flipphone was a gift from Shinichi so they could stay in contact while he's "missing"

I still can't stop thinking about the M27 teaser trailer. Honestly, when the very first teaser (that had played after the credits of M26) became available online without subs or translation, I thought the new movie might have an amnesia sub-plot. Like something happened that would make Kaito forget everything related to Kaitou KID and Heiji and Conan would have to deal with that along with the rest of the movie's plot. Of course, that idea was shot down from the translation, but I got attached to it for fanfic purposes lol.

So, after seeing the new teaser, that first silly impression is slowly becoming a fully fledged fic (is it HeiKai, HeiShin, HeiKaiShin, idk haven't reached that far yet 😅)

Like yeah, I want the dissonance of KID being aware that Heiji knows Conan is Shinichi, and Heiji not really knowing that Kaito looks like Shinichi (because Kudou never tells him any details that are not important for the task at hand). If anything, Heiji probably heard that's an option from Kazuha because Ran kept complaining to her about all the times KID had disguised as Shinichi before (or given recent manga spoilers, even from Hakuba and his suspicions).

That's why when Heiji unmasks him by cutting through his top hat, KID still slips into his Shinichi disguise (after doing it so many times, I'm convinced he can without a mirror at this point). Not because Heiji will believe it, since Conan is right there, but to buy time.

Heiji, of course, is pissed off about it, and given the whole Kidzuha fiasco, he wants to cut KID in half more than play along.

But KID says that he can't help it if disguising as the people that Heiji loves will keep him safe from his wrath. While Heiji has a crisis over what kind of love does he mean, KID makes his escape (recently stolen sword and all). Heiji throws his sword after KID, like a javelin, and unbeknownst to him, actually hits the handglider. KID drops out of the sky, fate unknown.

Next day, Iori shows up to bring Heiji to Momiji's temporary place (will the plot remain in Hokkaido, dunno) as there is a sensitive matter to discuss. Turns out, they found KID somewhere. While they recognize this person looks like Kudou Shinichi, it's still pretty obvious the clothes he had been wearing was KID's outfit. Heiji manages to convince them to bring Conan along, since the suspicion for KID's real identity will fall on his "cousin" and who's better to dispel these kind of rumors.

What neither of them expects when they are left alone with KID though is that one, he doesn't know who he is; two, he doesn't recognize Conan; but three, he remembers Heiji.

For now, I think the sword has something to do with this temporary amnesia (like holding a part of Kaito's soul or sth) since he feels more like himself whenever he's close to it. I also like actual magic shenanigans in the DetCo universe because it means I can make Akako appear (if the magic is real, she can exist. That's my rule lmao).

But that's pretty much what I have of this idea.

Movie 29 prediction is that it’s shinran related :0 AND EVEN BETTER MY THEORY IS WE GET AN ACTUAL SHINRAN DATE!! IN HIS BODY!! I don't know i just wanna see then together. Also I feel like we don’t get enough shinran content but that’s just me yk 😭

I've seen people ask "Why didn't Yuusaku investigate his brothers murder" and consider it a plot hole, but after some consideration I think it could be explained. My reasoning is:

1- Yuusaku knew Toichi had beef with other more dangerous criminals

2- If they didn't bother killing a world famous magician, they sure asf wouldn't hesitate to kill an author, too. If he did die, he would leave a very young child and his wife. And nothing would be solved.

3- We don't know how much Yuu knew. Like yeah it was obvious Toichi had beef with other, more dangerous criminals, but there's no guarantee Toichi told him about his night life, if at all. If MK organization wiped out all info about the case and called off the police investigation, it would be very hard to find a lead again. And as I said, doing so would surely bring unwanted attention.

Remember that the first KID was doing it all for shits and giggles before the whole pandora ordeal. Ik Yuu is one of the smartest mfs in Detco, but would he know about the gem? I mean, the only reason we even know about it is because they specifically told Toichi to find it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know unless he found someone who works for them.

He might know it *now*, since Toichi and him are in contact with eachother, though. But again, we don't know how long Toichi went without telling people he was alive.

He even might have told him to not dig into the case because it would be dangerous to both of em. Unfortunately that DOES bring out the issue of Toichi being a terrible father, because it essentially means he went "don't worry bro, my 17yo traumatized son will solve this 👍" and Yuu was... fine with this ??

Like I understand not opening up an investigation or calling the fbi or whatever, since it would be dangerous to everyone involved- but not telling Kaito his pops is alive is just cruel. Kaitos already in danger anyway, so what's the point?

Phee's Version of Events and Why it's Sus

We have been shown what Phee thinks Tan/New did (given that he’s the one that’s saying it to Jin and not like the typical flashbacks we were given, it gave the feeling that it’s just his character’s deduction of how things played out. Basically just his version of the events. Or I could be wrong and, like a lot of the audience, was reading too much into the show).

One thing that stood out to me aside from the fact that he was never there when he thought Tan/New set up the trap for Por or the wire for Uncle Dang, nor have we been shown that they talked about doing those things. How he could’ve known that’s what happened is just weird. Or maybe he’s just really good at investigating, his father is an investigator, maybe he got the skills from his Dad. For those two incidents, he may have noticed that Tan/New was not accounted for when those happened. So, he gets a pass on those two.

However, him knowing that Top was drugged was where he lost me. Sure, he could’ve deduced once again that Tan/New did something to Top since he was the last one with Top before Top “disappeared”. But how could he know Top was drugged? The only people that knew were the ones that were in the house AFTER Top came back from the temple. Phee and Jin never saw Top. They were looking for him before the masked killer attacked them at the temple but they didn’t know it was Top. So how could he know that Top was now drugged and hypnotized to punish everyone that hurt Non?

If there’s one thing police procedural dramas and true crimes taught me, it’s that only the guilty ones would have knowledge of specific details on a case that were not revealed to the public yet. So take that as you will.

[episode 523 - What She Truly Wants to Ask]

[kicktwine]

the problem is I’m such a staunch believer in the slow buildup, the earnest enjoyment of meandering through terrible story decisions and weird nothing subplots to build up into a conclusion that explodes out from all that as fantastic storytelling and intrigue based on all that buildup, such that it makes it necessary to get through all that or you’re missing something essential, that I’m also a terrible person to talk to about what makes a story good. I can tell you plenty of what actually makes something tight and well-written and all that technical speak but how could anyone take my advice when I so so so love excruciatingly long unnecessarily complex fumbling and weird nonsense that spirals into, inexplicably, weird nonsense that makes you cry your lungs sore

[incorrect-kaishinshi]

Ayumi: So if I move my horsey here... Isn't that checkmate and I win?

Conan: ...hmm.

Ayumi: Well, is it or isn't it?

Conan: You know, I think this is a good stopping point. It's your first real game, I threw a lot of information at you.

Ayumi: No, your king is trapped. He can't go here because of my lighthouse. And he can't go here because of my pointy head guy.

Conan: Like I said, "complicated game".

[cartoonsbyandie]

Re: Conan heights, just because it's one of those things I'm particular about, my theory is that artists on DetCo go off benchmarks for the characters when they draw two standing next to each other. So Rachel almost always comes up to Richard's shoulder, and Conan comes up to Richard's knee.

Part of the reason I think that is because it's consistent even through mistakes, in the last image I posted Conan still comes up to Richard's knee, but whoever drew Richard drew his inseam like, ridiculously low. Like I'm tempted to trace how short his legs are there. So his "knee" is way lower than normal and as a result, so is Conan

Kaito has the brains, the skills, and the backstory to become a supervillain and YET all he does is a little trespassing, some property damage, and lots of funny chaos. I'd say the police deserve a little glue and confetti after marking his dad's case off as an accident. let's not even start with how there might be organization plants in the police who probably closed toichi's case oof

[raventhekittycat]

I just realized it's really weird that Akai recognized the shrunken Shiho just by accidentally passing her on the street, but Ran didn't recognize Shinichi when staring him straight in the face in his own house.

[yuureitheghost]

I still find it funny that Ran would go to great lengths to prove that Conan is Shinichi, but to this day, it has never occurred to her to just try to randomly call Shinichi's name when she's looking for Conan to see if he'd react
