Anokata theory: The boss may be...

[biosnake20]

The boss is obviously sonoko's boyfriend.

[makoto]

makoto ?? why?? hmm its not impossible but do you have thing to help your theory?

[mangaluva]

He travels a lot, he's never turned up in a BO case, and the only times he's seen stalking Sonoko around, she's with Ran and Conan... IT ALL COMES CLEAR NOW!

[makoto]

hmm yeah a decent boyfriend won't leave his lover so long for such stupidity as fighting strong men only kudo have a good reason lol well not like he have a choice

so if he is the boss he may end fighting ran  seem cool

[lilchar]

How about Agasa's first lover or the guy that was with her? Didn't he said something like they might meet again sooner than that?

All Makoto=Anokata theory must be thrown out of window b/c in the red handkerchief case he didn't figure out that "eve of the eve"  meant the day before Christmas eve. There are hints that Anokata is a mystery novel fan(4869=sherlock, password Shelling Ford etc), a smart individual who definately would figure out whatever sonoko meant by "eve of the eve"and someone who is not physically imposing(since he avoid all form of communication other than texting), Makoto is 0 for 3 for that and definitely incapable of running a world class criminal organization.

p.s I believe  the Leader of the most powerful criminal ring wouldn't confuse a Cup with a Vase and travel all the way to snow lodge to figure out if Sonoko have a crush on another guy. Makoto being so obsessed with his win streak and competition would consider subverting the world with crime as an affront to his manhood, definately not a calm, calculating,scheming from the backstage guy like Anokata seems to be.

My Anokata guess is that it is someone from Ran/Shinichi's grandparent pool, could be from Ran's side since Mouri have been suspected to be a conversion from Moriarty or Shinichi's side since his family is obsessed with mystery.

Perhaps he was just pretending so he wouldn't arouse suspicions.

Spoiler: my reasonable theory

I actually think the Boss might be Toichi Kuroba who didn't actually die since Vermouth is the "favourite", but this could also make Yukiko Kudo the boss as well since her and Vermouth were close friends.

Spoiler: my crack conspiracy theory

Anokata is Akai? Sometimes it feels like he has this attraction to her, but I can never be sure.

Now that could be true if MakotoXSonoko is just a facade, but I don't think so. Every single MakotoXSonoko case shows that Makoto is MADLY IN LOVE with Sonoko, if that's the case he wouldn't be able to pretend to not get the hint.  Plus AnokataXSonoko just doesn't compute(maybe that's why BO spends so much time on computer programing).

Of course not! BFFs can't be lovers!

I don't know who the boss is, though it'd be interesting for it to be Takagia relative of Mouri 'cause we'd get to see competent!Mouri next to Conan who'll be trying to look into the relative... \o/

[mangaluva]

BFFs aren't lovers, but they aren't really BFFs if they're not often mistaken for them

Maybe Chiba's girlfriend is Anokata. I mean, twin tails? A sure sign of evil.

The same problem with Makoto=Anokata, AnokataXChiba just doesn't compute.

@Manga: Should've made it clear. That was a Mafia reference...

"Forgetting about plot developments that I foreshadowed previously (laughs). It was a lot of work to reveal the foreshadowed plot about Vermouth (episode #345). It felt like I had to add in this, that and everything. I had passed the pieces of papers on which I wrote the plot developments to the anime staff, but now I want it back (laughs). If you read those, you might even know who the Boss is."


I think anokata is probably someone who's at the very least mentioned in the story and not a yet-to-appear one.

[mangaluva]

Or possibly he's just lying to us for the sake of trolling. I'm sure that can't be the sole preserve of Steven Moffat and Joss Whedon.

I think Gosho means anokata's true name might have been mentioned, but whether his true identity ever appeared yet there is still doubt.
