Episode 244: Mouri Kogorou's Imposter (Part 2)
To start off, we should probably describe the three suspects: There’s the ryokan owner (a man with glasses and a mustache), his assistant, who looks exactly like him except he has no glasses or mustache, and Jinbo. The newspaper was an extremely convoluted riddle that led to money that was buried in the woods next to the Jizou statue. Jinbo was the culprit. He spends twenty minutes of the episode denying that he’s the culprit, but in the end he just randomly gives up. The most compelling evidence against him was a footprint from his bare feet on a shogi board.
Episode 243: Mouri Kogorou's Imposter (Part 1)
An imposter arrives at a ryokan, claiming to be Mouri Kogorou, and is given a brown attaché case at the front desk, which he takes away, smiling smugly with his twirly mustache. Meanwhile the real Mouri is tripping over a Jizou statue while walking in the woods with Ran and Conan. Yamamura drives by in a van, and tells them a creepy story about a man found dead in the woods, with 'large black hair.' Even though he died in the summertime, he was wearing a red coat. Even though he had cigarettes, he didn’t have a lighter. And even though he had car keys, he didn’t have a driver’s license. But he apparently committed suicide four years ago after leaving an attaché case at a ryokan. So for the rest of the episode, any time Ran sees or hears about Large Black Hair, she screams. At the ryokan, they find the imposter dead in his closet, apparently also a suicide. Mouri takes charge of the case, opening the attaché case, and based on a newspaper from five years ago found inside, he deduces that the imposter and the red coat man made a bet about sumo wrestlers, and were both wrong, so they hanged themselves. Conan disagrees because there’s some wet hair inside the newspaper, meaning someone must have taken it from the ryokan bath drain.
Episode 242: Boy Genta's Misfortune; Otherwise known as: Genta's Disaster.
Genta has been acting weird for the past few days. He doesn’t eat or talk to anybody, and when he goes home, he hides under a blanket, shivering. When asked about this, he claims it’s because he’s being stalked by a killer. The rest of the detective boys think he’s crazy until a giant R falls off of a movie theatre, and almost crushes him flat. After this incident, they talk things over at BS Burgers, where Genta recognizes a skeleton shirt from a shop called “Bones.” Conan realizes that the culprit wants to kill Genta because he could identify him to the police. So they decide to use Genta as bait, having him walk all over town, trying to remember where he saw the culprit. The completely contrived clues are ice cream on Genta’s face, which is like shaving cream, the French flag, which is like the twirly thing in front of barber shops, and Genta’s reflection, which is like the mirror he saw the culprit in. This results in the culprit confronting Genta with a knife in an elevator with two other people in it. Unfortunately for the culprit, the blonde girl in short shorts and a crop top is actually Sato-san, and she double-flip-kicks him to the floor. Her completely unnecessary wig falls off in the process.
Best Quotes:
Haibara: “If you haven’t noticed that yet, never forget. Gin is left-handed.
Episode 241: The Bullet Train Transport Case (Part 2)
Three suspicious characters were witnessed walking through the train compartment, joined at the hip – Stonehead, Sweating, and Quackface. They also all had newspapers that somehow relayed the message “go to the bathroom” to the deceased criminal. Quackface killed the drug dealer in order to conceal the drug route. He stabbed him through a newspaper, so that he wouldn’t get blood on him. Conan realizes this when he finds part of the newspaper imprinted in the blood on the victim’s hand. Takagi takes down Quackface with an empty coffee can, knocking him forcefully to the ground, and then Sato jumps on him, pinning him to the floor.
Best Quotes:
Conan: (looking at the coffee can) “How could you say 'go to the bathroom' with this?
Episode 240: The Bullet Train Transport Case (Part 1)
Half of this episode is taken up by Ran and Shinichi having a stupid conversation over the phone while waiting for the Shinkansen. Kazuha says her goodbyes while running as fast as the Shinkansen leaving the station. While on the train, they find out that Takagi and Sato are transporting a drug dealer. Then a fake bomb is found in the bathroom, and the drug dealer has to go to the other bathroom. While in the bathroom, he stabs himself, but when Conan gets on the scene, he notices that nothing about it makes sense, like the jelly blood versus the drippy blood, and the backwards dagger versus the samurai dagger. So they realize it’s a murder case.
Episode 239: The Three K's of Osaka Case (Part 2)''
Conan has a baby fit meltdown because Ray Curtis is the murderer, and he doesn’t want him to be. But after shouting at Heiji about it, he finally confronts Ray Curtis. After a very long conversation, he kicks a soccer ball at his face, and discovers that Ray Curtis is no longer the great soccer player he once was. 'He deserves a red card for a loser.' Afterwards, they all go back to Heiji’s house, where Conan sulks until Heiji kicks a soccer ball at his head, and then he’s fine again.
Episode 238: The Three K's of Osaka Case (Part 1)
Heiji invites Mouri, Ran, and Conan to the opening of the Three K’s Restaurant in Osaka. The three K’s stand for the three famous athletes who are opening the restaurant: a boxer, a baseball pitcher, and Ray Curtis. Conan only goes because of Ray Curtis, who was a great soccer player, and Ran gets him to sign a jersey for Shinichi. Kazuha thinks that Heiji is having an affair because he keeps talking on the phone with Conan, and saying weird things like: “Have you been exposed yet? Are you alone?” Anyway, while they’re outside turning on hotel room lights to make a giant K on the building, somebody shoots a reporter who specializes in reporting scandals, and ruining athletes’ careers.
Episode 237: The Nanki-Shirahama Mystery Tour (Part 2)
Maki-san set up an alibi with Kanako in order to murder Madoka Madonna, but Madoka was meeting up with Computer Geek, so instead, alibi imposter, Kanako murdered Maki-san.
Best Quotes:
Random Kid: “Just once more, let me go on the adventure coaster!”
His Mother: “Only if you promise to study when we get home.”
Kid: “Yes, I promise!”
Mother: “But remember, it’s the last time.”
(Lightning bolt flash) Conan: “I see. I understand now. I have the solution to the mystery.”
Conan: “I’m sure that’s the killer, but I’ve got no proof.”
The Mother: “Oh, come on. How can it be so hot at a time like this? (Takes a sip of her juice)
Conan: “I see. That’s how it was done! I’ve found the definitive proof.”
Episode 236: The Nanki-Shirahama Mystery Tour (Part 1)
Mouri, Ran, and Conan take a vacation to Nanki-Shirahama. It’s a really nice place, and a great majority of this episode is taken up with 'Travel to Japan' promotional videos of them walking around, seeing the sites, enjoying refreshments, and educating themselves at museums. Their relaxed vacation comes to an abrupt stop while they’re walking on the white sand beaches, and they meet 'medicine-art' students. There's Maki-san, who spends a thousand dollars on make-up a month. She has long red hair, purple lips and sunglasses, a mole, and a hat. Then there’s Madoka, the 'Madonna' of the group. She wants to collect some sand to bring home. There’s also Long Hair Snoot Face, who hates souvenirs, especially the one that Ran liked. Lastly there’s Computer Geek and Kanako, a woman with spiky brown hair who isn’t going to do favors for Maki anymore, even though she helped her through university math classes. They have this enormous argument right in front of Mouri within seconds of meeting him. Needless to say, Conan and his group vacate the premises as quickly as possible. However, Maki-san tracks them down later, as they’re watching the sunset, to encourage Mouri to go to a fish and drinking market in the morning, before he goes to Adventure Land. She takes the liberty to even provide precise instructions as to how to get there. Then she jumps in her car and zooms away. The next morning, they’re enjoying their day in the bright sunshine, when all of the sudden Conan goes into shock because he senses Anokata’s large blue eyes glaring at him from across the station. They continue on and go to a shop where Ran has to buy a smiley tomato, but Conan senses the eyes there too. Then they briefly see Maki-san, who bows to them before zooming off in her car again. Meanwhile, Conan chases Anokata who’s getting on a bus to Sandanbeki. They meet Computer Geek at Adventure Land after watching a walrus and orca show, where he gets a phone call from the Madonna, who tells him that Maki-san is dead with a knife in her chest. They tell her they’ll be there soon. Apparently she found the body because Maki’s cellphone was going off playing Beethoven, but she didn’t hear the murder taking place only moments before, because the waves were too loud. She also didn’t think to call the police or an ambulance after finding Maki-san because when they get there, she’s just sitting there, painting, a few meters from the body. When the police finally arrive, you meet two really nice detectives, who are thoroughly the most normal people in all of Detective Conan, and that includes the fact that one of them never opens his eyes.
Episode 235: The Locked Wine Cellar
Mouri, for no reason, is at a wine tasting with a guy who is obsessed with himself, and three other losers: Glasses, Pinch-Face, and Long Hair Sommelier. Their host leaves for forty minutes to find his special wine bottle, but then he’s found dead in the wine cellar. His wife faints, but Conan doesn’t care. He’s more concerned about the position of the body. Conan almost kills Takagi by dropping him down a clothesline into a wine rack. This was apparently the method used by the culprit to move the body to the wine cellar. Glasses did it. He did it because the interest rate was too high on money he owed.
Best Quotes:
(Conan’s concern upon finding the body) “Why is he in such an abnormal position?”
Episode 234: The Evidence that Didn't Disappear (Part 2)
We’ve learned that Conan is a dog expert – not only understanding why they do the things they do but how they think, what their instincts are, and more. Professor Plum just wanted the diamond on Doyle’s collar, so he hid him in a speaker. He needed the diamond because he has a lot of abandoned dogs living in his house, which he can’t support. Dr. Agasa’s friend’s son lets him keep it anyway, for the dogs’ sake. He and Mrs. White are getting married. And Haibara finally snaps out of her depression.
Episode 233: The Evidence that Didn't Disappear (Part 1)
Dr. Agasa’s friend’s son invites everyone over to his house to take stuff, because his job is forcing him to move to England. His whole family is obsessed with dogs and mystery authors. Other people invited to take stuff are three dog breeders: Professor Plum, Mrs. White, and Miss Scarlett, who says all she wants is a really ugly vase, and she’s going to take whatever she wants. While they’re there, they meet three dogs: Arthur, Christie, and Doyle. Arthur likes Christie, but if they had babies, they’d be worthless. And there was also another dog, Conan, who died. While they’re there, Doyle goes missing. At first they think he’s been incinerated, but Conan deduces that he’s hidden somewhere in the house. Then they go on a long search, and find a mysterious third blue cushion. Also Haibara spends the entire episode making morbid, frightening remarks about everything because she’s been sulking about the bus hijacking case. She especially frightens everybody when she goes on a minute-long tirade about Marie Antoinette’s dog, Thisbe, who drowned himself in a river after she was executed. This causes Agasa’s friend’s son to say, “She’s a strange girl, isn’t she?” Anyway, Conan tells her to relax, because apparently, as a detective, he can sense the Black Organization’s blood-thirst, but this is a complete lie, because we all know that he accuses any person dressed in black as being one of “them.”

Episode 232: The Falling from the Condo Case
An evil drug salesman is killed by Araide-sensei’s evil twin. The victim died because he thought a flower salesman was trying to kill him, and ran to use his balcony escape trick, in which he hops ten feet to the next building’s rooftop. Instead he slipped over the edge, and his sandal grew wings and flew to the other building. The moral of the story is: Don’t sell drugs, even if you need money to pay off bad investments, and don’t steal them from your university. And if you want to get away with murder, don’t check your watch constantly, and make suspicious phone calls, and don’t be the only suspect, and don’t sweat because you’ve just moved furniture around.
Good morning, who wants to analyze the way Shinichi treats Conan like a completely separate entity than himself and how his refusal to accept that Conan is a part of him is holding back his character development and growth?
#GOD yes i have thoughts about this daily #like that one screenshot from desperate revival where shinichi looks in the bathroom mirror #and is HORRIFIED to see conan waiting for him #(yes it was actually haibara but shhhh) #and ''conan'' was counting the seconds left on the clock #as if shinichi's entire existence was running out of time #he sees the identity of ''conan'' as just a tool (maybe a curse) to hide from the organization #when really you can't seperate them. shinichi and conan are one in the same
Shinichi absolutely views Conan as a curse (though I personally think of the relationship in more medical terms, like Conan's a condition or illness, or using the terms of a ghost story, where Conan is haunting Shinichi though perhaps parasitic terms would fit as well). I'm still early on in my rewatch but what on brought this line of thinking was Episode 49 "The Diplomat Murder Case (Part 2)", the first time we're introduced to Heiji and find out that "Conan" is a reversible condition. And we get this scene...
The wording here is so... He could have said something like "am I turning back into a kid again," but instead he chose to say "that kid" and "am I turning back into Conan again", as if Conan was his own person and not just another facet of Shinichi. He personifies Conan to such a degree and refuses to acknowledge that it's still him, with all his memories and experiences. And the framing of this scene too, with Conan over Shinichi's shoulder like a lingering specter.
There's also these frames from opening 4 I believe, that I haven't been able to get out of my head...
They're standing on opposite sides of a mirror, and I genuinely expected the reflection to show the other version of each but this is such a clear and distinctly drawn separation between the two "characters" that I never picked up on when I was watching before. They are completely separated and unable to meet, both literally (duh) and metaphorically.
Conan being framed as a "parasite" is SUCH a good perspective. He's literally sucking the life out of Shinichi and is slowly taking over his life.
The fact that Shinichi always says something along the lines of "I'm turning back into Conan" instead of "I'm shrinking back down again" is so fascinating. He says this again in the Shinigami case.
Also I never really thought about those frames from OP4 before, I'm so glad you pointed those out! Conan having his own reflection perfectly illustrates how Shinichi thinks of Conan as a completely different existence.
Only at certain points you can see both of them at the same time. They're clearly shown to be the same, standing back to back, but Shinichi has put up this barrier/mirror that deflects this fact. ED49 also has some interesting frames:
I believe someone else made a post about this but I can't find it for some reason
The imagery of the cracks is reminiscent of a broken mirror, as if Shinichi broke it, lost in his identity. It's really telling how most of the reflections are of Conan instead of Shinichi. Shinichi is left looking back, maybe wishing he could go back in the past. In the next pics, the gear is turning, but Shinichi is completely static, not even blinking. He's frozen, and life is continuing without him.
I'd also like to overanalyze look at the Shinichi and Conan illustration inside each manga volume:
These two in particular are ones that get me thinking about the differences between them. Conan is shown to have the upper hand on Shinichi. The earlier volumes simply have Conan and Shinichi doing the same pose/activity, but more recently they started to differentiate themselves (as Shinichi spends more time as Conan the more of an identity Conan gains)
So yeah, Conan is Shinichi, Shinichi is Conan, but Shinichi absolutely refuses to accept this fact.
