Canon and "Canon-ish" FuruKaza moments: An ENG Compilation (2)

[PART I: canon and may be canon]

-PART 2: Furukaza from Other Official Sources

Various official audio/illustrations:

The boss and subordinate celebrate new year's at home together with Haro, under a kotatsu, according to this 2018 illustration by the mangaka of Zero's Tea Time, at least.

At the end of Episode 1053, after the preview for Ep 1054, there is a brief audio exchange between Furuya and Kazami that goes: F ("Kazami, what are your summer vacation plans?") K ("Vacations...") F ("Vacations are also part of your job"). The episode itself has nothing to do with summer vacations, so it's a bit unclear why Furuya's asking about Kazami's vacation plans...

There is an original shikishi drawn by Gosho Aoyama in 2018, with Furuya saying "You qualify!" and holding up a hanko (i.e. a stamp with his name/initials, they're often used to sign in Japan). Behind him, Kazami is looking miffed, saying "Please press that stamp on me too!"

There was a series of official audio bonuses, i.e. Furuya "voicemails" made for Zero's Tea Time, one of which acts as a possible sequel to Ch. 11. Furuya tells Kazami: "Good work yesterday. Even if we drank a bit too much, that was fun. Though that incident was unneeded...It's fine for you to come in after noon today, so make sure to catch some proper sleep. I'll call again."

Official DC App:

There was an audio story called "Kazami's Observant Eye", where Furuya asked Kazami to come nap with him in a park. You can read a translation by @floofiestboy here.

Conan Puzzle:

A "pair card" exists where Furuya and Kazami are depicted spending time together in yukata at a summer festival. Furuya is smiling while watching Kazami trying to catch goldfish.

For Halloween 2023, a Kazami card where he wears a prisoner's outfit and chains was released, labelled "Infiltration Disguise". Fan screenshots of Conan Puzzle show Kazami saying that the outfit was prepared by Furuya-san and saying "huh? the collar won't come off...? ...Furuya-san!?". (As I do not know the mechanics behind Conan Puzzle, I cannot comment further. And as I do not want to bother the fan, I will leave this matter as is.)

Released separately, this Furuya and this Kazami are wearing matching Conan Land shirts.

Released together, this Furuya and Kazami appear to be having a snow day together.

Other promo material:

This is not 100% "in-universe", but there is a promo video for M28, in which Kazami reports to Furuya that he has "completed seat reservations for the first day (of screening)", to which Furuya responds: "Thank you, Kazami." Whether Kazami reserved seats for them both (or for more people) is left to one's imagination.

For a 2025 collab between Conan and apparel brands, the website had the main characters of M28 + Shinichi comment on various outfits, including two couple-wears. Instead of having ShinRan or KanYui comment on the couple-wears, they had FuruKaza do it.

Goods:

Official character perfumes have been released, including for Furuya (as Zero) and for Kazami. The scent description for Kazami mentions Zero in every section, and also has a line that says, about Kazami's fragrance: "coming from the image of carrying out a top secret mission on Furuya's orders, you can faintly smell the same fragrance of soap as Furuya".

For ZTT, a series of T-shirts were released, including one design that depict Furuya, Kazami and Haro as a set.

Furuya and Kazami, as a pair, go to a summer festival in yukata, according to the limited period goods released in 2022 by Osaka Castle. Aside Furuya and Kazami, the other pairs covered were CoAi, Akai x Jodie and HeiZuha.

A pair of "unbreakable" glasses was released for ZTT depicting Furuya and Kazami. The description proceeded to say that "This pair of glasses is unbreakable, like the bond between Furuya and Kazami".

The Conan Trading Card Games released a set of cards with the theme "Bonds of Faith (Partner)" which contained a lot of pair cards, i.e. with illustrations and card effects connected to each other's characters. Amidst pair cards of canon couples like ShinRan, HeiKazu, KaiAo, TakaSatou and ShuuAke, the FuruKaza pair card was the only non-canon non-het one, where Kazami is seen drinking a can coffee and Furuya is seen watching him with a smile, drinking from an identical can. With Kazami on the scene, Furuya's investigation ability is doubled, and he can also remove a card.

The parallel version of the Furukaza TCG pair cards was revealed by the official TCG account on Valentine's Day 2025, even though there were yet other cards to reveal. Again, in this pack, it was the only non-canon pair advertised side-by-side like the other canon pairs were.

APTX-shaped gummy candy packs come with little seal stickers, including Furuya and Kazami. Their individual seals mirror each other. The design gives the impression that they are complete if put together.

In 2025, Chocolates labelled “VALENTINE ITEM” by the shop’s official account were released with two designs for the square boxes: 1) Conan&Ran; and 2) FuruKaza.

In 2025, a clear file is to be released, with Kogorou and Conan at the front, and the Nagano trio at the back (M28 promo). The inside of the clear file is occupied by ShinRan and FuruKaza, mirroring each other.

In 2025, the Conan Café menu had Furuya and Kazami soba dishes with ingredients that resembled each other: Kazami had cilantro and lime, while Furuya had celery and lemon. This confirmed the trend that their officially assigned colors tend to be yellow for Furuya and green for Kazami. There was also an ice cream sandwich set for all 8 main movie characters, where only frkz shared a flavor that constituted of a mix of two fruits (kiwi and banana)

In 2025, a set of merch was released, with the main movie characters riding horses. Only Kazami's horse was light brown with a brass blond mane.

There is a whole other string of furukaza goods where they come in pairs, including a ZTT mug, pens, notepads, a parka, a lip cream... I will not list all of them.

Hanzawa spin-off:

In the Hannin no Hanzawa-san spin-off, which is a parody of the main manga, there are chapters where Kazami is depicted taking Haro to the dog park, accompanying Furuya to events (holding popcorn and drinks), and also growing celery to gift to Furuya. In one scene, Furuya even comes to pick him up at the dog park in his car, telling him "let's go back."

Gosho Aoyama Q&A:

In his Q&As, Gosho Aoyama was asked what Kazami would do on his free days aside from going to idol festivals, and he answered that Kazami doesn't have many free days to start with. He then added "maybe, buying Amuro's clothes?"

In his Q&As, Gosho Aoyama has been asked why, out of so many police officers, Kazami was picked to be Furuya's subordinate. At first, he answered "just because?" but in a second instance (24 October 2022), he replied "It's a coincidence, or perhaps I should say it's fate lol"

guys have you heard

[fforsythiaaa]

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

[willgrahamscock]

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags

[willgrahamscock]

does it annoy you when someone adds tags on your post?

It annoys me

no, unless it is aggressive/negative

only like it when my mutuals add tags

it's a great place to have discussions positive or negative

nuance/will add in the tags :'D

*you should never be adding negative tags complaining about a media on fanworks

shuang bei and mxdzt was like

we've never rly worked much together, but now we're doing this weird get-together once a year where we pretend to be something we're not (i divorce you multiple times each year we do this thing btw) i'll let you be detective because you love being the detective. (you fucking suck at it and i'll never let you forget it <3). i'd use all of my intellect to have you accused you of a murder u didn't do. (i know you'd do the same for me too <3) you're insufferable to me (but i'll indulge all of your fancies). we form a stellar team and the whole world knows about it (i cannot stand you, you missed your fucking plane again and this filming is 12h long because of you). you'll use your professional skills where it counts to tame and herd the kids with me. (i know, i'll use mine to tame and herd you too) i know your buttons like the back of my hand (we're still not friends at all, by the way)

I think part of the reason why I get frustrated with plot holes in mystery dramas is because I’m a longtime fan of Who’s the Murderer, where the stories might get a little crazy but each character has a cohesive arc and everyone’s motives and decisions make logical sense. And that’s necessary for Who’s the Murderer because the participants are solving the mystery and reacting without a script, so any major plot holes will throw them off and ruin the game.

Meanwhile, with dramas, even highly praised ones like Reset and The Longest Day in Chang’an, the writer can control all the characters so they can get away with significant plot holes. If something in the plot doesn’t make sense, the writer can just have none of the characters notice it.

This means that a viewer who likes playing along to Who’s the Murderer can’t play along to Reset, because you end up noticing tons of unanswered questions and internal contradictions. But for a passive viewer who just watches the drama without trying to figure it out or connect the dots, this probably won’t bother you.

MXDZT: S3E1-S3E2 (locked room trick translation)

(Xiao Bai figures out the trick to create a locked room from outside and helps to recreate it. The cast manages to replicate the scene perfectly.)

He Jiong: That’s it, we can’t open it anymore. It’s a locked room! Perfect. Perfect, Xiao Bai.

Sa Beining (opening the door again): So now, since Xiao Bai has figured out this trick…

Xiao Bai: Oh no He’s going to vote for me as murderer again

Sa Beining:…he has 50% chance of being the murderer.

He Jiong (laughing while Xiao Bai throws himself on the bed): Each time, Xiao Bai…….

Sa Beining: I’m just saying you have a 50% chance of being the murderer!

Xiao Bai: EACH TIME we have a locked room mystery it’s like this!! I figure it out and then I’m the murderer!?

Sa Beining: Because there were a few times where you did figure it out and it was really you!!

Xiao Bai: ?!! When??

Sa Beining: There were a few times.

Xiao Bai: No-?

Sa Beining: The time with the fishing line.

Xiao Bai: Fishing line-? The time with the fishing line, I WASN’T the murderer, i was just wrongly accused to death.

Sa Beining: ……….then, the second time with the fishing line.

Xiao Bai: *staring at him blankly*  (Sa Beining, chuckling: You used a fishing line many times….)

Xiao Bai sighs deeply and leaves.

[potahun]

watched a fmv and was reminded of S2E9 (yoga case) in which sa beining suggested that the murderer likely bounced the corpse off a yoga ball and into its hanging position

xiao bai in utter awe:

he jiong dying, high-pitched laughter style:

im also dying

i had completely forgotten this scene and im so glad im remembering it now

[potahun]

Taking screenshots for reference and oh my god i love pretty, bitchy Boss He so much

^Last one:

He Jiong (at Sa Beining): Then how would you like me to suspect you? I can use another way to suspect you, if you need. Which way do you like? I know all of them. I can learn new ways for you.

*smoking cigarette in the wind thinking about zhang luo* he kept the little rock that tiantian gave him and wrote about it. he wrote about it

Xiao Pu got promoted

He Jiong: You're reading this (the detective's notebook) from the beginning again -- is it so that they can edit this scene into a whole episode?

Xiao Pu: Can they?

[potahun]

times (that i know of) where Xiao Pu has "usurped" the detective's position:

Pianists on the Sea II (the Captain falls under suspicion)

It's Still "Beauty is to Blame" (the Director of the hospital falls under suspicion)

Sin under the Rose (the Detective falls under suspicion)

.

Hence the BTS scene where Xiao Pu said: "but you had this kind of arrangement in past seasons as well" and Zhang Ruoyun (rightfully) replied "No, they only do this kind of big-scale work when it's you"
