I am currently rewatching Detective Conan and have fallen so deep into the rabbit hole that I have reached the point of needing a very specific, pre-canon spinoff about the FBI's daily life. The ultimate prequel would capture the high-octane absurdity of the trio’s lives long before the Black Organization drama took center stage, leaning heavily into the "found family" trope where elite professionalism gives way to domestic chaos. Centered on the era when Jodie Starling was the "FBI Madonna," the narrative follows James Black’s desperate attempts to maintain order while his subordinates engage in petty breakroom coffee wars and tactical training sessions that frequently result in property damage. The comedic tension peaks with the Bureau’s collective efforts to "protect" Jodie from Shuichi Akai, resulting in a constant barrage of strategic cockblocking, "accidental" paperwork assignments, and Andre Camel’s hilariously transparent attempts to spy on their dates. It’s a story about a group of geniuses who share a single brain cell, operating in a pre-canon world where the only thing more dangerous than a criminal syndicate is the sheer, unadulterated messiness of their own office politics.
