12 Million Hostages - Matsuda Jinpei & Edogawa Conan Analysis : Why One Could Defuse the Bomb, While The Other One Couldn't Do The Same

"Trembling Police Headquarter: 12 Million Hostages" are one of the most beloved special episode of Detective Conan, which introduced Sato Miwako's previous crush, Matsuda Jinpei & his childhood friend, Hagiwara Kenji. We're given a heartwrenching story within 20 minutes.

The tragic and traumatic event, the grief, the malicious revenge, the sacrifice for common people. All of those was established in the beginning of the episode, and connected to the present timeline.

It's a very tense episode with a great climax and perfect, romantic end.

But this episode also made some people wondering, and understandably, upset.

"Why did Matsuda, a former ace from Bomb Disposal Unit who's also very smart, failed to defuse the bomb, while Conan who mentally 17 years old and physically 7 years old, managed to defuse it?"

Some people though it's just to highlight Conan's ability while lowering other people's.

Unfortunately, it's not based on nothing, because this series sometimes really do that to highlight Conan's ability & intellect.

But I have different perspective for this particular event.

So, in this thread, I'll explain my analysis on why the event of "Trembling Police Headquarter: 12 Million Hostages" make sense and not just plot device for Miwako's traumatic button, her subsequent romance with Takagi, nor for a simple parallel for Conan's succesful defusion.

1. First of all, their situation was already WILDLY DIFFERENT.

Jinpei's trapped all by himself, while Conan's trapped WITH Takagi. Even in the end, Conan said that he didn't have any plan to let Takagi die. That's why I don't think Conan would ever let the bomb explode.

On the other, Jinpei was alone. Even if the bomb exploded, the only casualty was him.

Even their explosion sites's already very different. Jinpei's in a simple ferris wheel, where the possible damage (only one seat destroyed) and threat for officers & civilians below were less.

While Conan was literally in the middle of Tokyo Tower, the symbol of Tokyo. Had the bomb exploded, it would also demolish the above part of the tower, which mean a MUCH more threat for the officers & civilians below around the Tokyo Tower.

2. Tapper

3 years ago, the police knew the culprit was among the crowd, since he exploded the control room when Jinpei's seat exactly on top. However, the bomb in Tokyo Tower have sound tapper, which mean the culprit isn't near the bomb site.

I have my own analysis about this.

Being watched so closely means the culprit in particular really paid attention to Jinpei's action. Especially because this is his first revenge after 4 years, compared to the present time where it's his second revenge.

To be honest, I think now it's also like a ritual for him.

Back to the point. Because the culprit watching closely, what does it make you think?

When you know the second bomb is already set in another place, a HOSPITAL even?

I think,

"He wanted to make sure everything goes as he planned. What will happen if I defuse this one?"

"Will the culprit angry that his plan is stopped early?"

Would Jinpei dare to trust the culprit's mentality?

Would Jinpei dare to risk the hospital's safety towards the unstable culprit who's watching his upcoming demise joyfully with a front row sit?

Well, Jinpei didn't dare.

Because Jinpei's a police officer who graduated from Police Academy while swearing to serve the people.

Moreover, if Jinpei walk away safely while correctly deducing the next site, the culprit who failed to kill a police would immediately explode the second bomb in hospital.

To "kill" a police officer, right?

Because the police officer choose to save his own life, and it caused the residents in the hospital to died.

A condemned police officer.

If his life was fine, then the culprit would kill his career & image to the world.

It's different from present time where he put sound tapper, walk away from Tokyo Tower. He's arrogant now. His plan was succesful once, and he thought this time will be too.

That's why Conan managed to deceive him & the culprit didn't know that the next bomb is already revealed.

This is a plan that is so succesful because of the past experience.

The culprit become arrogant because of his prio succesful plan, resulting on his loss now, while the police won now because the experience of previous tragedy, twice even.

A turnabout, but with a price.

3. Two People Work Together, One Person Work Alone

Conan and Takagi work together, one defuse the bomb while reading the code, and the other type the code and send the message.

It's easier for Conan to cut the wire because he's fully focused on the bomb.

Meanwhile, if Jinpei wanted to defuse it, he need to hold the tool, and he couldn't type the message.

"Why would he need to hold the phone? He can just memorize the code on the bomb, then defuse it in one go like Conan!"

Well, the previous two reasons, and one more after this.

4. Attachment

This is the most painful part.

Precisely because Conan has heavy attachment for 'alive' Ran, he could defuse the bomb.

He said it himself. He could deduce 'EVIT' as 'TANTEI' because he desperately wished Teitan Highschool IS NOT the next site of the bomb.

Meanwhile, Jinpei's attachment.... Was a 'dead' Kenji.

4 years of message to an email address who would never reply again.

Jinpei was grieving, and he never stopped grieving.

Conan have a big reason to come back safely for Ran, while Jinpei has none like that.

In the last moment, he regretted for not avenging Kenji, but he never mentioned any fear of death.

I guess if Jinpei died while capturing the culprit, Jinpei wouldn't regret anything at all. Because at least his revenge was completed.

THIS wasn't a face for someone with fear of death.

How could someone approaching death with such determined expression and happy grin, I wonder.

If he secretly feeling excited to finally joining Kenji in after life?

If he really regretted for not avenging Kenji so much, shouldn't his expression more frustrated?

.... So I guess I can only conclude that his desire for being with Kenji was much higher than avenging him.

I've said something before, in my conversation with friend.

In Detective Conan, all childhood friend have a connection in their heart. Even if they only meet once, that 'once' impact their whole life.

It's just very different with Jinpei and Kenji, Rei and Hiro, because they unfortunately lose their childhood friend, and in such tragic way.

This is the end of my thread. Thank you for reading!

Jinpei, Kenji, may you rest in peace, together.

I made banners for each member of the Wild Police Story creww over the course of a few days, feel free to use them preferably with credit! Each banner has flowers and I've explained what they all mean and how they (hopefully) represent every character!

I think the sakura branch looks really nice with Rei looking back at the sakura petals like he's thinking of the other four

Marigolds represent the flowers of the dead in Mexico, where they believe that the flower's bright colours and strong scent would guide dead or lost spirits back to their families, and as this guy has gone through so much losses, what better flower than it

For no reason, I just think bluebells suit Hiro very well, don't know why I got the feeling

Hiromitsu means light in Japanese (according to the internet, if I'm wrong please correct me!) and moonflowers represent light and thriving in darkness in flower symbolism, and I like to think that Hiro's the light in Rei's life

I tried a different style for Matsuda's and made it a bit blurrier than the rest for that kind of dreamy and drowsy effect

Anyways, Matsu in Japanese means pine trees, which represent longevity and resilience because they are some of the only trees which also grow in winter and it does remind me a lot of Matsuda, as I picture him as the steadfast one in their crew and also the one who can withstand more criticism and hits than the others (not that I'm implying the rest are weak I just have the image)

So pine cones it is

hehehehe

Anyways, Hagi in Japanese represents bush clovers which means flexibility and resilience which kinda matches Hagiwara I think it shows because Hagiwara as a girl's man, and some girls (and Matsuda & Chihaya) change their plans all the time imo so he has to go with the flow

LAST ONE!

Sunflowers follow the sun as they grow from a seed to a flower, so does Date, following the law and rules his dad taught him since he was a kid and as he grew up he followed and respected them ( I think he does, otherwise why would he be the class president of the police academy back then) all the way till his death

Anyways, hoped you liked them!

What if the Conan characters went to the same elementary school?

I tried setting it up so that the age difference between them was smaller, and they attended the same school.

It's interesting to think about who they would have become friends with and how they would have become friends if they had met in a different way. Well, I suppose Furuya would dislike Akai no matter when or where they met.

Mary and Vermouth (assuming they're roughly the same age...) are in 6th grade, Elena is in 5th grade, while Furuya and Hiro are in 1st grade.

I made Yui a 1st grader, but after drawing it, it was revealed in the original manga that she's one year older than Zero and Hiro.

So, actually, according to this standard, she is 2nd grade.

They are at the group meeting point for going to school.

Yui: Kan-chan, let's hold hands.

Kansuke: No.

Mary: Shukichi? Where are you?

Takaaki: Mary-san, Shukichi-kun is in the bathroom.

Elena: Rei-kun, you seem energetic today, too?

Rei: Yeah...

Jodie: Don't wander off!

Shuichi: I know.

Yukiko: Sharon, it's been a while. Here's your bag.

Sharon probably doesn't come to school very often. Gin comes even less often.

In Japan, there are sometimes mixed-grade events called "Tatewari-han" but do other countries have similar events?

Several students from each grade from 1st to 6th grade are gathered to form groups for activities like field trips and orienteering.

During lunchtime, Zero and Hiro, both 1st graders, might be surprised to see the lunchbox of Akai, a 2nd grader from England.

Japanese bento are often described as unique abroad, but British lunchboxes come as a bit of a surprise to Japanese people.

Three years later, Shinichi and Shiho entered in the school, and Takaaki became a sixth-grader.

They're playing old-fashioned games.

Takaaki and Shuichi are chatting about the books they are reading.

Shukichi and Kazami are showing each other their collections of menko cards.

Little Masumi seems to want to join in on jumping over a fixed elastic rope game that Akemi, Yui, and Chihaya are playing.

Jodie asked them to let Shiho join in while Hiro, Hagiwara, and Miwako were playing with marbles.

Furuya and Matsuda are playing with spinning tops; Date-san is teaching Takagi the tricks of the game.

Ran and Sonoko are playing a game called "Nabe Nabe Soko Nuke" (a Japanese children's game).

Just then, Kansuke comes by to invite everyone to play kick-the-can; it seems like a fierce battle would ensue if they played together, though...

If we base it on the year the original manga series began, characters older than Ayumi and her friends (with the exception of Karasuma) were born in the Showa era, while Marie and Vermouth were born before World War II...?

Oh, it looks like someone's here.
