Why Kogoru doesn't have his own car? Or why can't he buy one for himself.. He's always renting car or riding taxis.
Has this been addressed in the series? Just curious.
It has come up once in the Super Digest Book Q&A:
"Q83: Could you let Kogoro buy a car?"
"A: No, he rents his car."
So I guess Kogoro doesn't have a car because Gosho doesn't want him to have a permanent one. For some unknown reason. Maybe something cultural?
@Serinox: maybe Kogoro finds it more convenient this way? Maybe he thinks it's annoying to have to spend on maintenance fees or payment by installments or insurances. He's got a tight budget and Ran is always reminding him of that.

Kogoro is a detective and it makes sense for him to not own a car since his work involves tracking/"stalking" people and having a car associated with him would make him instantly recognizeable.

Gosho had been meticulous about the vehicle choices of his characters. DC World even has its page for it. Like, people freezes over a Porsche. Not letting Mouri own one fascinates me. But yeah, maybe he can't afford owning it. He has no parking lot either.
I think it's simply because having your own car in Tokyo is probably not very useful. In Tokyo, the number of cars per household is below 0.5, that means more than 50% of households don't have a car, and probably more since the households who have 2 or more cars increase the average.
Okay, this question is a little weird, but for anyone who has seen the opening Try Again, there are moments in the song when right after the Detective Conan logo appears in the beginning, the characters, starting from Shinichi, then Ran, then Haibara, then Conan, all appear and move backwards according to the beats of the song.
There was another opening where the characters switch in a similar way, only they move in a circle instead of in a line.
Can anyone recall what song that was? I just can't remember and that scene is on a loop in my mind and it's driving me a little crazy.
Thanks!
So, I was watching episode 573, and when Kazuha mentions that her charm works, she says that when Heiji gave it to Conan, he got shot, and in turn, Conan was saved from being stabbed because of it.
Can someone tell me which are the two episodes here? Thanks!

It was from the episode 118, The Naniwa Serial Murder Case.

YEESSS another friend gave me the answer too! THANK YOU!
Can't believe I haven't yet seen this episode. Downloading now
Two questions that have been bugging me for a while:
1. Back in Mystery Train, Bourbon mentions that he has met Shiho's parents and her sister, but can we be absolutely certain he has met both of the Miyano parents, and not just Elena? Is the original Japanese text unambiguous about the matter, or is there room for alternate interpretations?
2. Was the amount of violence and gore present during the early cases considered normal/acceptable for the shounen demographic back when they were first published?
Thank you so much in advance!

1. I'm pretty sure it says he met both parents and sister. The translations DCTP did were practically what you'd get from the official volumes.
2. Back then they didn't care about censoring body parts and gore, now you have blu-rays for uncensored parts in most series.
According to google it's because of how controversial Evangelion was in 1997 that affected the entire industry since then.

This one is quite interesting... In the manga it looks like this:
This is taken from the Shounen Sunday version. Amuro uses the words 両親 which means 'both parents' and 姉 which means 'older sister'. So that would mean it is very clear, not ambiguous at all. However, in the anime the wording changes to 君のご家族とは. Amuro no longer uses the two above-mentioned words and instead says ご家族 which simply means 'family', so that one is much more vague.
I don't know what the reason for the difference is. Usually the animation team uses the exact wording from the manga. I would be interested to see what that chapter's volume release says.

Volume 78, File 7, Page 5, Panel 2
“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
“Education never ends... it is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.”

I just read again the Detective's Nocturne, and there is something bothering me. At the end, when Vermouth appears, and calls Bourbon on the phone, she is very very near to the accident scene. She can literally see the people from where she is.
Was she there by (a very huge) coincidence, or was she following Bourbon or someone else??
Does anyone know?
