The story follows the adventures of Shinichi Kudo also known as Jimmy Kudo in Case Closed , a young detective prodigy who was inadvertently shrunk into a child's body due to a poison he was force-fed by members of a criminal syndicate.
Neighbor and family friend Professor Agasa strongly suggested Shinichi hide his identity to prevent them from killing him and the people he cares about, so Shinichi takes the name Conan Edogawa. He goes to live with his childhood friend Ran Mouri and her father, Kogoro , and tries to use Kogoro's detective agency as a way to find the people who shrank him—without letting Ran figure out who he really is. The world of Detective Conan has a set of internal rules that might catch unfamiliar readers of the manga and spectators of the anime off guard, such as the lack of information sharing and the regular illogical and irrational behavior exhibited by many characters.
The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with a few exceptions. The name " Case Closed " results from concerns of copyright conflict of the name Detective Conan. Viz Media licensed the manga series under the name for English-language publication in North America, which is up to Volume 75 as of July 14, Funimation Entertainment licensed the anime series for North American broadcast under the name Case Closed.

Shooting a gun? Driving a car? Driving a speed boat? Flying a helicopter? And so on and so forth. All of these examples come from the Non-Serial Movie s, which tend to be more action-oriented than the series and are not necessarily considered canonical, so it's understandable that they might play a little more fast and loose with Conan's backstory.
Lampshaded in this comic. The theme songs also frequently appear when characters sing karaoke. The anime followed the manga most of the time up until The Revival of the Dying Message episodes Episodes between the aforementioned case and Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night episode still played the trope straight, but with decreasing frequency. Moral Guardians and Executive Meddling may have played a part here.
It's in fact a clue in the Princess and Dragon Palace Arc. The first victim, Taira, was laid down peacefully with her eyes properly closed while the second victim was brutally murdered which revealed that the murderer knew that Taira was Mistress Miyako Kaneshiro, who disappeared six years before the story.
In the only case since Episode to play this trope straight, Bathroom Where Ran Collapses As Well episodes , it was also used as a clue. The victim hid her killer's contact lens on her open eye. Disproportionate Retribution : The motive in quite a lot of cases. Even the general cases can qualify for this due to the fact that often the culprit's first instinct is to murder the person that did them wrong, directly or indirectly. Does everyone in this world have a few screws loose? However, below are some examples that truly take the cake.
Your son practiced baseball too hard, and was hit by a truck clearly due to his exhaustion? You get pay back by blowing up the company that owns the truck, and attempting to blow up a baseball stadium, potentially killing thousands of innocent people. There was a Sherlock Holmes related arc in the manga where the murderer killed an author and his own girlfriend, because he wasn't happy the guy wrote a critically lauded story where Irene Adler laughed at Holmes.
That's right, the guy murdered two people in real life and attempted to kill a third because of fanfiction. The Golden Apple Arc. A stage actress named Rose killed her co-star actor because she didn't want anyone else but him to be the "Angel Michael". In Episode , the killer was motivated initially to kill the host and producer of the Halloween cruise because he hated the new movie series said host was working on.
He complained on several Internet discussion boards until the Organization approached him with a working murder method. He initially refused, but then was forced into it because he was sent pictures of his wife and children. The killer's main victims injured him in a car accident which made him lose his sense of taste and ruined his profession as a sommelier , which was a dick move on their part, but killing them in return was pretty excessive. Then he also blinds and tries to kill a man just for teasing him about his profession, which unfortunately for the near-victim, was Serious Business for the killer.
Dope Slap : Kogoro does this to Conan quite often when he catches the boy snooping where he shouldn't. More often than not he uses his fist and sometimes even gives Conan a full noogie , resulting in Cranial Eruption. But this is still played for laughs. Thankfully, it does have a better ending, as Conan reveals that the two still got married years later; and that the culprit was given a light sentence because the bride, having already figured out that her husband-to-be was the boy from her memories, willingly drank the poison.
The family company bought out the company belonging to his father , who later committed suicide and left him to be put into foster care. He did want to get close to the family at first, but decided to let bygones be bygones after falling in love with his now-wife. The actual killer of course is well aware of who the first suspect would be. Ran not knowing that Conan is really Shinichi counts as this for the whole series, although she does come close to discovering it on more than one occasion.
Dreaming of Things to Come : In episode , Heiji dreams that Kudo gets stabbed in the chest and dies. He later gives Conan his good luck charm, and the Pocket Protector prevents Conan from being fatally wounded by a knife. Driven to Suicide : The aforementioned Asshole Victim was often revealed to have caused one in the past.
Shinichi has also saved at least two suspects from committing suicide after he'd done his Pull the Thread thing, and feels that one of his greatest failures was the inability to prevent such a suicide. Drives Like Crazy : Kogoro is called out for being a bad though not necessarily "like crazy" driver in a number of episodes, beginning all the way back in episode 2.
He rents cars rather than owning one, and hence does not have as many opportunities for practice. Shinichi's mother, Yukiko, also drives like crazy but at the opposite end of the spectrum: she is an expert driver in all respects perhaps as a result of her roles as an action movie heroine , but drives only high-performance sports cars and believes that speed limits only apply to other people "Shinichi's New York Case," "Secret of Tohto Studio".
Officer Satou is another crazy-good driver whose unmarked patrol car is a high-speed sports car. She has the endearing habit of screaming at the top of her lungs because it helps her concentration when she drifts around curves.
Dub Name Change : Zig-Zagged. In the Funimation dub, where most characters with the exception of Conan got American names, however TMS eventually ditched this as recent English material note such as Conan 's appearance in Granblue Fantasy as well the Detective Conan Runner app renamed Case Closed Runner in some territories including North America as well as the dubs of the Episode One special, movie 21 The Crimson Love Letter and movie 22 Zero the Enforcer has kept the original Japanese names and terminology as is with the only remnant of this being Viz Media 's translation of the manga.
The first Latin American Spanish dub had this note With Shin'ichi's name being "Bobby Jackson" in that dub and Conan's last name being "Blassy" , but much like in English, this too was dropped in favor of the Japanese names. Dude, She's Like, in a Coma! Takagi looked like he was passed out during file , a bit before Satou kissed him. He was perfectly conscious afterward.
The Shonen Tantei Dan had used the excuse that Takagi had just taken medication before, so Satou and Takagi actually got to kiss, instead of the usual issue where they almost kiss, but always fail. Dying Clue : Multiple examples listed on that page.
One really has to marvel at the amazingly intricate code messages most normal people in this series can conjure from out of nowhere while bleeding to death. Dysfunctional Family : There's usually a case revolving around a very troubled, combative family. Early Installment Weirdness : Mostly averted much to the consternation of many fans , as the series' formula was set down almost immediately after the Origins Episode , and Aoyama rarely budges from it.
The early volumes try to play up Dr. Agasa as a Bungling Inventor , with Shinichi saying to his face that his lab's turned out nothing but junk. Later volumes? Intelligence agents flat-out admit he's making toys MI6 could only dream of, and everyone except Ai treats him with unflinching respect.
Before the Stun Gun Wristwatch was introduced, Conan used blunt force to knock Kogoro out like kicking an ashtray upside his head. Sonoko was a lot more vindictive towards Ran in her first appearance, which shows when she considered seducing Shinichi to get back at her because a guy she liked was more interested in her. This is odd for two reasons: 1. It's later established that she doesn't like Shinichi due to his disappearance causing Ran so much distress.
It's incredibly out of character of her to act so spiteful to her best friend. He will then keep quiet and not report anything to the police, if that is the wish of the victim as well. He also got a lighter sentence, because she knew her drink was poisoned and she drank it willingly. Three years later, they finally married.
However, she is aware that she was just a Hopeless Suitor and killing her future sister-in-law would only make her brother unhappy. In Chapter , a pop star attacked her former band member, because she thought her friend was about to marry the man she loves. The victim only wanted to make the man she really loves jealous, and didn't inform the culprit of it.
Almost killing her friend drives the culprit to suicide, which Conan barely prevents. In Chapter , a man stabs his wife in the chest, because he is fed up with her mood-swings and because she destroyed his relationships with his friends and co-workers behind his back. However, he is relieved to see her surviving, then feels guilty for stabbing her and making it look like self-defense to get away with it, which makes him want to kill himself which Haibara and Conan prevent.
In truth, his wife was just concerned that, since her husband has a very rare blood type, activities like mountain climbing are dangerous and can injure him, and his friends then decided to not invite him to protect him, his female co-workers actually wanted more than just friendship, and her mood-swings happen because she is pregnant.
Elephant in the Living Room : Conan's increasingly noticeable failure to act as a normal little boy arouses suspicions from just about everyone in the cast not privy to his secret, yet nobody really thinks of just sitting the kid down and asking him just how on earth does he knows so much, rather preferring to harbor vague suspicions forever. Takagi does get the chance to ask Conan during one of the most famous cases of the series, but Conan replies that he'll tell him in the afterlife.
Somehow, Takagi forgets all about it. Usually Conan catches their weird looks and claims that he learned it on TV. This is lampshaded by Kogoro in chapter , after Conan gives his Condensed History of the Rooster Festival spanning three very wordy panels: "And I suppose all of that was on TV, huh? The student had plastic surgery done after graduating and became a fashion model, and the professor wanted to leak two old pre-plastic surgery photos of him to tabloids, including a photo of the student dressed in drag.
Enemy Mine : Even though catching the Kaitou Kid is one of Conan's chief aims, second only to busting up the Black Organization, Conan often ends up working together with Kid to catch bad guys or otherwise avert disaster, especially in his Non-Serial Movie appearances. For that matter, he has occasionally worked together with Black Organization agents against other Black Organization agents, as well.
The reason for this is that his dog, Lupin, had been locked up in a safe together with the instructions to open said safe, and Jirokichi asked KID for help to open it.
In the Mystery Train arc, after deducing who Kaitou was disguised as, Conan convinces KID to dress as Sherry and fake dying in an explosion in order to deceive the Organization. Entertainingly Wrong : On one of the early occasions when Ran suspected Conan of being Shinichi, Shinichi was able to temporarily grow back to normal size.
While grown up, he took Ran on a date and she admitted that she had suspected that Conan was Shinichi de-aged by some invention of Agasa's. Shinichi noted internally that she wasn't too far off. Episode on a Plane : The "New York Arc" started with a flashback episode in which Shinichi solves a variant "locked room mystery" that took place on board a plane in flight.
A case featuring a disgruntled former relief pitcher was solved when Conan realizes that the suspect had taken the same flight they did. A lot of Conan's epiphanies come in this way and the Detective Boys' sole reason for existing seems to be triggering these; however Conan later makes a habit of artificially creating these moments to lead others in the investigation. After a while, most of the cast seems to be consciously aware of this, with varying degrees of suspicion.
Everyone Is a Suspect : Pretty much every case, although sometimes you can narrow it down based upon a few hints and the obvious. The main characters never did it. During the "Billionaire Birthday Blues" case, you can spot that one person isn't shown drinking coffee, other than Conan.
They actually give a closeup of everyone's face, but the killer actually deliberately avoids holding the coffee up to his mouth. Everybody Lives : Even without counting the non- Always Murder cases, this happens occasionally, especially if the victim has been hospitalized.
If, after the case has been solved, a policeman bursts into the scene saying something along the lines of "Inspector! The victim, s he's Extra-Long Episode : Has several of these every year.
In particular, the first episode of the year is usually two hours long. Eyes Always Shut : Sonoko's older sister, Ayako, is never seen with her eyes open. Also, "Sleeping Kogoro's" eyes are always shut when he is "solving the case," though granted this is because he literally is asleep. Some guest characters are also fox-faced, and Okiya Subaru's eyes are just evil little white dots in the middle of black eyelid lines.
Failure Is the Only Option : If Conan's identity is revealed, Kogoro and Ran among others will be targeted and likely killed by the organization that shrunk him. Likewise, if Conan is ever permanently restored to his adult identity, there will no longer be a "Detective Conan" for the show to be about. Ironically, played in Conan's favor for the same reasons whenever it comes to his identity and the Black Organization.
Vermouth excluded, any Black Org. Fake Mystery : In one of the "Special" Spin-Off stories, the Detective Boys sans Conan and Ai must solve a puzzle to find the anaesthetics that had been stolen from their dentist. However, the dentist later reveal that there was no theft; he just made it up to give the kids something interesting to do while he's called to treat an emergency patient. Conan and Ai had figured out everything from the start, so they hid somewhere else to not give away the mystery too early.
Fake-Out Make-Out : Ai Haibara talks one of her classmates into faking intimate contact so she could figure out whether she was being tailed by the Organization, only to scare him with the intense expression on her face. Earlier, Takagi and Satou had pretended to date on a few occasions to tail a suspect Takagi couldn't enjoy their time together at all because Satou is pretty damn scary when in Work Mode.
Fake Ultimate Hero : Conan's deductions are credited to Kogoro, boosting Kogoro's reputation as a detective. Kogoro is typically unconcious, but takes credit when he wakes up regardless. Sonoko will do the same thing whenever Conan has to use her instead.
Family-Unfriendly Death : From Chapter 1, someone is decapitated on a roller coaster via piano wire. Notably, it's the last crime Shinichi solves before he reverts to a kid. Fantasy-Forbidding Father : : The "Luxury Liner Serial Murder Case" has a fantasy-forbidding grandfather as the first victim; Gozo Hatamoto is an all-around jerk, but especially belittles his grandson for wanting to be an artist and is even shown smashing one of Ichiro's works in a flashback.
Naturally, Ichiro is the killer, a spur-of-the-moment act when he couldn't take the man's abuse anymore, both because of Gozo's opinion of his work and because he wouldn't allow Ichiro to marry his cousin Natsue, Gozo's favorite relative and only heir, and had in fact, immediately after this refusal, granted another man permission to marry Natsue; the wedding had occurred just days before Gozo's murder.
It not only ensures that no one suspects him of being the very trim masked attacker who's on the loose, but also allows him to transport the various props he uses in the murder without anyone noticing. He tries to kill Ran when she accidentally walks in on him when he's not wearing it. First-Name Basis : An arc had as a side plot Ayumi trying to work up the nerve to call Ai by her first name. She's the only one of the children including Conan who does so or has permission to.
The Hero : Conan The Lancer : Ai The Smart Guy : Mitsuhiko The Big Guy : Genta The Chick : Ayumi Flashback : TV episodes adapted from manga, especially multi-part episodes, frequently employ flashbacks and in-dialogue recaps to pad out the run time as well as occasionally replaying the last several minutes of the previous episode as the beginning of the current one , since otherwise there wouldn't be enough material to fill the full episode length.
It's not uncommon to have seen the same footage 3 or 4 times counting the first time it was shown by the end of a multi-part episode. It's especially noticeable when viewing multiple-part episodes in one sitting.
Four Eyes, Zero Soul : Subverted in anime episode An old woman's glasses go into this in flashback just as Conan is realizing she was responsible for the death of that episode. The subversion is that the death was accidental. The criminal was a burglar who performed crimes via Wall Crawling. On a stormy night, she saw him through her window and, out of reflex, brandished a washing machine hose she was carrying at him. The water from the hose sprayed the window, startled the man, and caused him to lose his grip which sent him plummeting to his death.
Foreshadowing : Possibly a coincidence, but after one of Kogoro's drinking binges, he says he had "some gin, some vodka, bourbon. One of the hints that Shuichi Akai was really Subaru Okiya in disguise was given as early as the latter's introductory case, where a child described him as "red. Possibly a coincidence, in Chapter 1 where members of the Black Organization first appeared Gin and Vodka , there was a crow ominously looking over the rollercoaster.
This was way before Karasuma Renya was ever mentioned and also before the link between him and the Black Organization became known. The Organization has been subtly and deliberately linked with crows even further: The first concrete lead Conan gets is from Miyano Akemi, who tells him as she dies: "They like to wear black clothes that make them look like crows.
The latter, of course, turns out to be true. When Conan figures out the phone number of the Boss, he's able to do so because the number pattern plays out the melody to the folk song "Nanatsu no Ko" - specifically, the first line, "Crow, why do you cry? Considering Haibara had said prior that APTX and thus, Shinichi was a part of a research project that had been going on for fifty years, and that these hints collectively establish that the Black Organization specifically mimics crows and fits exactly with the timeline this implies, it's rather a wonder Karasuma wasn't suggested as a suspect earlier During Conan's close encounter with Gin and Vodka in Volume 38, he ends up hiding in a coin locker with the number The th episode of the anime?
The first episode of the Sunset Mansion case, which first introduced Renya Karasuma. Frameup : This happens a lot; the murderers make fake proofs to frame up innocent people. Framing the Guilty Party : In one episode, the killer is a woman named Tina. Her boyfriend found the crime scene and saw that the victim wrote "Tina" in his own blood as he died, so he changed the message to "Ringo," the name of another suspect.
Then Ringo found the crime scene and changed the message again to a phrase that happened to indirectly point right back to Note that this example is taken from the English version; the original Japanese version does the equivalent with kanji characters that are changed by adding strokes but this was obviously Lost in Translation.
Also subverted on at least one occasion where the killer tried to plant evidence to suggest she was framed. It didn't work because Conan found much more conclusive evidence pointing to her. Free-Range Children : The kids are basically allowed to run off anywhere in Tokyo without any adult supervision as long as they are home by bedtime. Then again, this is Japan, a country perceived to be safer than the standards. Deconstructed in a backstory arc when Eri and Kogoro, before separation, found Yukiko and Yusaku's laissez-faire parenting as a bit annoying.
Gag Boobs : In one story, Yukiko rides a motorcycle cross-country carrying Conan in her cleavage. Araide's was to make out with Ran, which was ripped apart by Shinichi showing up. Heiji was planning on showing up, dressed as Shinichi, to help him out of Ran's suspicions. This was ruined by Kazuha, who ended up the Spanner in the Works. Haibara's was to have her dress up as his little kid identity, while he tried the prototype antidote, to allude suspicion. Sonoko's, which was spur of the moment, was to get Ran and Shinichi to hook up.
This ended up being ruined by the murder. Ran's was using any occurrences to her advantage to get Shinichi to confess, though it wasn't planned out. This was ruined by Haibara's plan. Shinichi was, if you listen to the fans, going to propose to Ran, but this was ruined by the murder. And the second murderer's plans were ruined by Shinichi. The climactic confrontation with Vermouth is also one of these: Vermouth, posing as Dr. Araide, attempted to kidnap Ai—but Ai was under the protection of Jodie, who was trying to lead Vermouth in a trap set by an FBI agent.
Except Vermouth figured this out and dismissed the agents while disguised as Jodie and set off her own trap—and this is when Conan dramatically reveals that he's been disguising himself as Ai while Heiji, elsewhere, pretended to show up as Shinichi. Then Ai herself shows up, intending to turn herself in to the organization, which causes Vermouth to knock Conan out with his own needle.
Just as Vermouth is about to shoot Jodie, Ran, who was hiding in the trunk of the car because she saw Jodie's pictures of her friends in the bathroom and assumed that Jodie was spying on the school, jumps out to protect Ai from both Vermouth and the sniper. When Shuichi Akai shows up to take out the sniper and disables Vermouth, Vermouth manages to get away by taking Conan hostage and blowing up the other car.
Except Conan had anticipated Vermouth's get away or at least was Crazy-Prepared and hooked himself up to a wire to capture the cell phone number Vermouth called. But Vermouth got the last laugh, as she knocked them both out with sleeping gas, then forced herself awake and slipped into the night, but not before destroying Conan's equipment.
The Mystery Train arc features no fewer than five plots going on at once. Believing Sherry is aboard, Gin and Vodka plan to destroy the train at its final stop, Bourbon plans to capture Sherry alive while the train is in motion, while Vermouth plans to kill Sherry while the train is in motion. Kaito Kid is aboard with plans to do a heist on the train, and Conan has a plan to fake Haibara's death should the Organization turn up. To top it off there's the inevitable random murder.
In the end, the winner is Conan, by identifying Kid early and blackmailing him into helping his plan. As a result, Kid is chased off the train before he can steal anything, he convinces Bourbon that Sherry was killed so Gin and Vodka call off their plan, Vermouth realizes they were duped only after it's too late to do anything about it, and Conan solves the murder, too.
Giving Someone the Pointer Finger : The exposition sequence at the beginning of the movies always end with Conan pointing at the camera to deliver his ultimatum. There is only one truth! Also, the detectives often point dramatically at the suspect when making their accusation. Especially Mouri Kogoro, who is usually wrong.
In fact, Heiji Hattori speaks far better English than any supposedly-American character in the show save for a few noteworthy exceptions who do speak Surprisingly Good English. In one episode, Conan is able to tell the difference between a British accent and a Texan accent in spoken English—which is really quite impressive when you consider that the words were actually spoken with a "read phonetically by a Japanese actor" accent.
Engrish pronunciation was the key to figuring out the culprit of a case during the Clash of Red and Black arc. ZARD, we love you and all and although it still might be too soon to mention this after your death, "Glorious Mind" has some of the strangest Engrish ever.
Gray-and-Gray Morality : Several cases actually have this show up, in which the motive was revenge for something else. Sometimes it's actually because they caused the death of a loved one or ruined their life somehow.
The culprit in this case is the groom, trying to get revenge on the bride's father. The woman's son the murderer tried to get the police officer to help, but the officer didn't see the woman and though he was just a kid in the crossfire. The mother died, and the boy was adopted. He then meets the bride, and hatches a revenge plot.
The sad part was, the bride and groom were actually knew each other in childhood before it happened, and were each other's first loves. Even Conan, who often condemns murderers using Kogoro or Sonoko who justify their acts, could only think he was a sad man.
Great Detective : It's in the title, after all. The Detective Boys are a veritable love parallelogram in the making: Mitsuhiko and Genta have crushes on Ayumi, Ayumi has a crush on Conan, Mitsuhiko also has a crush on Haibara and Haibara is believed to have a crush on Conan. In a rare vulnerable moment in episode , Haibara expresses jealousy of Conan's feelings for Ran, comparing herself to a cold shark and Ran to a friendly dolphin they're on the beach at the time.
Conan, naturally, completely fails to understand what she's talking about. At the end of Lost Ship in the Sky , Conan is left wondering what it was Kaitou did to Ran that he Shinichi wouldn't have done that gave away that Kaitou really wasn't Shinichi after all.
Almost every unmarried man in Megure's department has a crush on Officer Satou, to the point of forming a "defense organization" to try to torpedo the budding romance between her and Takagi whom they resent.
Shiratori was the leader of this organization until he met Kobayashi-sensei and realized his affections had been misplaced. Gyaru Girl : One case involved an investigation into violent attacks on ganguros and yamanbas, and the murder of a ganguro. Heroic Sacrifice : An extremely notable one is Honjo Nanako who choose to step out of the elevator to allow the rest of them to live, all of them remembered her very well.
Somewhat subverted since it's implied that Conan would have returned it if he could, and actually asked Kogoro to replace it. Sometimes a pulse is checked on those without obvious injuries, but usually they are immediately proclaimed dead. Dead people are usually depicted open-eyed, with the pupils the size of pin pricks and the mouth agape.
Subverted once, as it was used as one of the clues to the killer in one case. Hilariously Abusive Childhood : Usually Played for Laughs , Kogoro would yell at, throw, and even punch Conan for simply opening his mouth. Though, it seems punching is a valid form of punishment in this show. He even went as far as placing his fist on Conan's head and saying "Killing move While she doesn't show up nearly as much, Yukiko has also been shown conking her son for petty reasons though at least she knows "Conan's" real age.
Even Ran's done it once or twice. Hitodama Light : In an early case, the detective boys think a house is possessed by a ghost when they see a light in the window. It turns out to just be from a candle. Conan is addressing him as an equal, when from Ran's point of view he should be addressing him with -san. In an early episode we have one of the more memorable scenes where Ran and a rather shaken Conan return from the springs after they bathe together.
Kogoro notices that Conan is unusually quiet and, when Ran tells him what they've been doing, he wonders out loud if he's dumsbtruck after seeing Ran naked, and Conan has an epic Nose Bleed at the suggestion. Later the episode, we have Kogoro: This time, both the victim and the murderer were dear friends of Kogoro, so he goes into a full It's Personal mode and we get to see that with a bit of nudging from Conan who wanted to solve it at first but was moved by the other's determination , Kogoro can solve cases by himself.
The bathing scene actually gets a nice Continuity Nod a little later in the manga. When Ran accuses Conan of being Shinichi, a number of newly embarrassing scenes from the earlier stories flood back. The memory of her bathing totally naked with Conan certainly explains the strength of her anger and embarrassment. Additionally, in the anime Yukiko tells Conan that it's a good thing Ran didn't find out who he was "because had she realized you took a bath with her as a kid In one case, Shinichi sees a girl reaching for her murdered boyfriend's bag on a cabin overhead luggage compartment, remembers something, tells her story and then pulls the bag off the compartment.
What we notice is the story she told us, what Shinichi notices is that she used her right hand before she told her story, and then she switched to her left hand afterwards. It was important because the murder weapon is a sharp object; the bra worn by the girl is underwired, one piece of which is sharpened. She wears the bra during the scene since she can't throw it away and the sharp edge grazed her skin when she raised her hand and hence, she switched to her left hand.
Identical Stranger : Several. Shinichi Kudou and Kaitou Kid. Also Okito, the high school kendo champion. There are so many Shinichi look-alikes it's not even funny anymore.
Invoked by the one murderer who underwent plastic surgery so he could ruin Shinichi's reputation. In the Lupin III vs. Detective Conan crossover, Ran and Princess Mira look enough alike that Mira makes Ran her unwilling royal double for a while —and then Ran is drugged and taken back to Vespania to continue the role. The Detective Boys' schoolteacher Kobayashi-sensei has an uncanny resemblance to Officer Satou with glasses.
Only way to tell them physically apart is Kobayashi's hair is straight trimmed on the side, while Satou's isn't. In later manga issues ep. At one point, Satou doubles for Kobayashi to take care of a stalker who wanted Kobayashi dead for witnessing his crimes.
There's another person who looked like Satou, Nami Kasakura, whom Shiratori met just before Kobayashi. Bad thing, she was the killer of the case There are two people who superficially look like Kogorou, both pretending to be him for various reasons.
Poor Yamamura, believing that his idol would be Driven to Suicide. Idiosyncratic Episode Naming : Most anime story arc titles end in "murder case. Asking questions or saying something that might sounds stupid to adults, particularly Kogoro but it will make people think how it can related to the case and guide them to the truth. Female Examples: A strange variation happened in one case: our Villain of the Week had a bad heart, but it was she who killed the loan shark who drove her boyfriend to suicide over the money for "that operation.
God, is she a bitchy chain smoker. In her confession, she mentions that her boyfriend was her Morality Pet and the only one who ever loved her after her parents' deaths. As Orihime of This Very Wiki says, be careful when threatening an Ill Girl 's loved ones: if she gets better, she'll kill you!
In another filler case, this was played heartbreakingly straight with Kaori, a young girl whose brother Toshiya Todakoro is the ghost writer for the Victim of the Week , writer Daisuke Torakura, who used to pay for her hospital bills in exchange for the guy's hard work.
We later learn the horrible truth: Kaori actually died six months ago, because Torakura actually bribed her doctor into keeping her on painkillers only instead of paying for crucial and expensive treatment abroad as per his end of the bargain , so Todakuro would remain as his subordinate indefinitely.
