I'm trying to say "love" doesn't always mean something romantic. Yes, Conan love Ayumi. He love everyone. He love the guy (actually Obassan) who try to shoot Ran.
Which brings up back to the old problem: He will risk his life for everyone, yet expects everyone else to stay safe. From the DBs point of view this switch was not necessary, so they came to the wrong conclusion that Conan wanted the attention all for himself (which he would have gotten by the way if his plan succeeded). Also, their plan was not that dangerous - they never planed on engaging the criminals themselves (like Conan did), all they wanted was a more active role.

No. they're too arrogant. they failed many time enough. They have other choices, not like Kazuha. Ran, on the other hand, is not the right thing to do. but Ran do that out of love. DB do that out of greed. Ran kind of get herself out and did conribute to Haibara safty.
They did? Which plan of them failed before and endangered everyone because they were not listing to Conan?
Don't count the case with the gold coins and the Italian Mafia: If they had listened to Conan he would have tried to solve the case on his own again and getting killed because he would lack the power to move that bar they were bound to...
If they had succeeded, the police would have arrived normally, rescued Conan and the hostages and they would have taken an (more) important role in the case.
For what? it doesn't make any difference. they even delayd the time police arrive by spent time looking for the culprit. It is for their own glory, right? please answer me.
Maybe we have different things in mind. I was trying to explain why the Detective Boys did what they did, and why it wasn't entirely their fault.
I agree that their plan was a mistake, but a lot of other characters have made dumb decisions that endangered themselves and/or others. Yet, they are not blamed for it.
Examples that come to my mind: Takagi for not destroying Satôs handcuffs, Heiji jumping into the ocean at a place with strong currents, Ran hiding in the trunk of a potential dangerous person (Jodie), Kazuha stabbing Heijis hand and especially Haibara (trying to get herself killed in the bus or running after Conan and Vermouth after she got locked in the basement - WITHOUT a follow-up plan).
Actually, the whole story started because Shinichi was not considering what could have happened when he followed Vodka to his suspicious deal in Tropical Land. And when he stayed in the locker room during the dark footprint case to observe Vodka getting the disc (instead of returning much later to get the tape then) he proved that he did not learn anything.
Bottom line: Almost every character did something stupid throughout the series which endangered themselves or others. Often even worse and for more ridiculous reasons than the DBs hoping for some attention for themselves. So why are only the DB "hated" for it?
The realization that their own role would just be going to the police and give them the awesome gadget Conan just gave them probably hit them later.
But should they do that? maybe because I'm not a kid anymore I don't understand them.
Again, it was a mistake and they learned from it, right?
Or make them realize that he is better at handling dangerous situations
How? if they going to understand they should have at the moment.by passing them gadgets that allows them to handle the situation themselves
At least Ai should have the watch by now. But It would kill the suspense. 5 watchs(stun guns) ?
Well, yeah from a story-telling perspective it doesn't work well. On the other hand, the DBs did "gear up" a bit when they got their mobile phones. So at least they now have a easier time contacting the police if they need to.
The one who gets Conan into trouble most is... Conan himself
He get himself out, that's the difference.
Remember the second case? The one where he faced the kidnapper and was unable to do anything against him because he is just a kid. No, he didn't safe himself there. Or getting stabbed, just getting saved by luck?
Conan had enough moments where his own safety was out of his control. While he does well in escaping those situations on his own (much better than anyone else would), there are still moments where he is dependent on getting saved by others (or because he was lucky).
.Most "reasons" just seem as some kind of excuse
I honestly don't like their voice (Ayumi and Genta).
Read the manga then.

Though this again something subjective. Same as hating Heiji because he speaks Osaka-ben or Haibara because of her hair color...
They could be applied to almost any other character, even the famous and popular ones.
They take credits that don't belong to them. who done that. Sonoko and Kogoro do that and they are receive less respect from me that other. But we won't have story if they suspect Conan.
Again, I was talking about something different here. I was saying how those "reasons to hate the DBs" given here could easily be applied to other characters.
If it is just about "fame-stealing": Beside Kogoro and Sonoko, Shinichi and Heiji are also competing "for fame" against each other. Or Takagi and Shiratori in the past to impress Satô-san.
And then there is of course KID (both the original and the current one) who announce his crimes... also for "fame".
I guess in the next list you only want to talk about the bolded ones. I would also find examples for the non-bolded ones (The answer for the first statement would be: Kogoro and Sonoko, who treat Conan worse than he deserves.).
Quiet Lurker wrote:Why does Conan tolerate the "Detective Boys"? Namely Yoshida Ayumi, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko and Kojima Genta.
- They forced Conan to take them along in the Haunted School Case by threatening to smash a school window. (Vol 16 File 4)
Well, he locked it after entering himself, right? It's another case of "it is fine if I get myself in danger" and "I want all the fame for myself".
Also, countless time Conan has invited himself to tag along with Kogoro when he goes on a case, right? Same with Heiji.
Also sneaking inside Takagi's car during the "13 Million Hostages" case.
Point is: Conan hates being left behind when there is a case. Heiji as well.
- They get annoyed at Conan for just asking which episode of Kamen Yaiba they are watching.
Because they wanted to watch it. Conan also got angry at them when they were trying to talk to him while he was solving a case (while speaking into his bowtie of course, so they couldn't have known they shouldn't have interrupted him).
They constantly blow Conan's cover and/or land him in a difficult position.
- Ayumi tipped the broom in the Haunted Mansion Case, exposing Conan and her position to the woman in the house (Vol 2 File 10)
- Ayumi's hysteria at a stage prop forced the group to stand in for an actor (they incapacitated) in a play. (Vol 9 File 3)
- When Conan was using Dr. Agasa as his "front" in solving a case, they kept talking to Conan, which almost blew his cover. (Vol 13 File 10)
- They blow their own cover when stalking an arsonist, forcing Conan and Ai to come to their rescue. (Vol 27 File 6)
1) Plot device: The plot required Conan to confront the woman at that point. If Ayumi was not with him, he would accidentally exposed himself as well. It was not like Ayumi did it on purpose.
2) They just read a newspaper article of two criminals killing a little girl, who were not caught yet. She wakes up in a car trunk, listens to two guys talking about how they killed a girl and finds money and a head in the dark. Yeah, she had no reason to be hysteric at all...
Now, I agree that hiding in a strangers car trunk is a bad idea in general, though it is probably again a lesson learned for life to her. And it is not like Ran didn't do the same a few volumes later as well - no matter how pure her motives might have been, but with 17 years she should have known better than a 7years old looking for a clever hiding place after he first love helped her escape to hide herself again...
3) Nothing they did on purpose. He is just Conan - it is Agasa who was solving the case right? (At least from their point of view.)
4) Which in part is also their mistake by leaving the kids unattended because they wanted to "solve the case", right? If Conan had been in that car and knew the arsonists face he surely would have done exactly the same as they did: Following him.
While I don't remember the case completely: Didn't the arsonist (or was it the criminal from the case 15 years ago?) catch Takagi as well while he followed the culprit? Can you really blame children of letting themselves caught when a Police Inspector had the same happen to him the very same case?
They incompetence has endangered his life more than half a dozen times. They never listen to Conan's instructions to keep them out of trouble, forcing him to rescue them when they invariably land in hot water.
- Genta assaulted the Italian thieves in the Coded Map of the City case, which ended up having the entire group tied up to be executed. (Vol 4 File 10)
- Genta called Conan on his transmitter despite Conan's instruction NOT to, revealing his position to a murderer. This forced Conan to defend himself against a full grown man with a golf club (Vol 6 File 8)
- Ayumi turned on the lights in the library, which alerted the murderer librarian to their presence. Thus instead of just informing the police they had to fend off a murderer. (Vol 10 File 7)
- Their glory-hogging in the Two-Mix Kidnapping case ended up having the entire group trapped in a burning building by the murderers (Vol 15 File 6), which could have been easily averted if they had listened to Conan and given the tracking glasses to Inspector Megure. (Vol 15 File 5)
- In the first case with Ai, the group insisted on confronting a group of counterfeiters instead of letting the police handle it which resulted in a hostage situation in which Conan nearly got killed. (Vol 18 File 7)
- Genta's excitement/panicked hysteria alerted a gang of murderers during a cave exploration. This ended up getting Conan shot and nearly killed. (Vol 25 File 9)
1) Yeah, right. They SO would have let them go if they had just asked nicely.

2) Again, leaving them behind while he is doing the dangerous stuff. Double-standard and glory hogging all over. Partially Gentas fault, sure, but he could have given his friends short updates to signal that he is okay. Instead they had him sitting on that tree worrying for him, and him sneaking back to the house without telling them just before sure did not help to make them feel like he was NOT after the fame from finding
Also: He had that case solved already. And if he was unsure he could have observed the body in the chair a while longer. Going in was not necessary.
(The correct solution likely would have been: Calling the police in an adults voice (or as Shinichi, though he wanted to avoid attention that he was still alive at that point), telling them his observations. What did he hope by going into the house again anyway?
3) She is a kid. It was dark, so you turn on the lights, right? Conan and the others should have waited a few more minutes to make sure the librarian really left before getting out of their hiding space. Again, it was Conan not taking the safest route that got them into danger.
4) We got that covered I think. Conan's past history of taking the spotlight (and trying it once again) and making everything seem so easy just played as much a reason as a bad estimation of the DBs about the risks of their plan to get at least a little bit of recognition.
5) Again, not sure about the case anymore, but didn't they try to tell the police but where laughed at about it? Conan running of again to solve everything on his own and emerge as the "hero" once more. Maybe Haibara did not care about them yet at this point, but she still did not make any attempt to stop them or at least not get herself involved also makes me wonder what exactly she was thinking at that moment.
6) And we never had Ran/Sonoko/Kazuha screaming upon seeing a body and drawing attention to herself, right?
