Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
Hello everyone. It is nice to be part of this forum. One of my early childhood dreams was to be able to solve the cases before Conan and it is cool to be in a place where people do that regularly
Regarding the brother: From Sera's line "Why does my brother know this kid?" it appears she only told him that "Conan" was there and never mentioned Shinchi so I think the brother is not someone who met Shinchi and Ran in a flashback (even though Conan resembles young Shinchi very much but the idea of shrinking is very insane unless the brother is a B.O. scientist ).
It also seems that Yumi knew where Shuukichi lives although they broke up (actually he is still living in the same place) so I don't think his sister who still contacts him regularly wouldn't know where he is and since Sera didn't know there was a connection between her brother and Conan there is no reason for her to lie. I really don't think Shuukichi is an option. I also don't think he is Koumei (I think it is easy to determine his whereabouts and I just don't want him to be the brother although I like him) So apparently the brother is someone we don't know who met Conan somewhere which is puzzling because I think we have seen every significant moment of "Conan's life"

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
I don't think so in fact this hints it more towards a new character. It goes like this, Sera and her bro met Shinchi and Ran, revealed in a flash back as u said, so now her brother knows SHINCHI, but somehow Sera knows Conan's true identity, so when she sends him a picture of CONAN she's surprised that he knows "this kid". My theory.Pmofmalasia wrote:Also, a line Fuji translated over at the spoiler cbox gives some very important information:

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
Uhm... here are my thoughts about the informations we got during this case... but that's it, just my thoughts, nothing definite, and there are no theories. Just some unrelated and -sometimes- even strange ideas.
As I stated before, just some random thoughts... some of them not even to be taken for serious; or not too much, at least

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
one thing I would like to add first if anyone hasn't noticed is that Sera's brother says something else too in the last message before he "have you met the wizard yet?", I wonder what that is.
@M1313:
nobody ruled out Shuukichi, he's kind of the main 'suspect' for being Sera's second-older brother in my opinion. Koumei for example who was another option and being very smart, had his past presented too much to omit something like having a family like that and a big brother in FBI. Also I think Akai is not older than 35(Koumei's age). Most likely Akai is close to Amuro's age(29), my guess.

@M1313:
You can rule out KID too, because KID disguised as Sera once and he didn't know she was female (and got kicked for that :3) If he's her brother, he would know that.
I also wouldn't rule out Amuro completely based on the skin color. Because Amuro is disguised a lot in the recent cases. So he could wear a disguise at the time of the message. (but Amuro's cell phone wasn't black I think)

There is definitley something fishy about Makoto.
I dont buy for a second, that he ran off all of a sudden to look for the culprit. There has to be more to it - and to him, especially considering that hes also playing a role in the next file.
I've got no idea what it could be though and I somehow doubt that hes working with the BO or anything along those lines.

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
I need my "Have you met the Wizard?" Conan Poster right now!!!!
While Wizard->Magician->Kid seems to make sense, I wonder what the original Japanese word is: Because the world for Wizard & Magician is different in japanese. If the japanese word is 魔法使い(this is the word used to describe Akako), then it is most likely is talking about Conan instead of Kid(whose trade would be described as 魔術師).

Well maybe, I guess we'll see. But didnt you think the explanation he gave for running off was weird - not to say ludicrous?Akai Shuuichi wrote:Ur over-thinking it.Feather wrote:There is definitley something fishy about Makoto.

Not the first time Makoto did something ludicrous(like stalking sonoko during the Valentine's Day case & waiting for Sonoko in a tent during the Red Handkerchief case) , he is very impulsive and don't think much.Feather wrote:Well maybe, I guess we'll see.

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
My thought exactly. If you forget why he stalks Sonoko. Sonoko say she going to meet her boyfriend (or something along the line). Makoto go there not because he realize he's the boyfriend, but to see the guy Sonoko love. Oh! the best part? Once Sonoko tell him he's the boyfriend by pointing at him. He look back to see if someone is behind.Not the first time Makoto did something ludicrous(like stalking sonoko during the Valentine's Day case & waiting for Sonoko in a tent during the Red Handkerchief case) , he is very impulsive and don't think much.

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
Yeah! I remember cracking at that point, so if we take all the actions we've seen from him, he's not particularly the smart guy and I can see him just running off to catch the culprit, makes me wonder if he really can beat Kid!User 4869 wrote:My thought exactly.

Conan is probably going to help him like he helped Takagi last time we had a Love-bet in Detective Conan(Episode 253-254, Metropolice Love Story 4).User 4869 wrote:My thought exactly.

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
Regarding the middle brother's PS "Have you met the Wizard yet?" and Sera's response "you could say so"...
I think the brother was asking about Shinichi. Sera's response, "you could say so", makes sense in that she didn't actually meet Shinichi, but she met Conan, so she sort of met Shinichi. Sera apparently knows Conan's real identity already, so this holds together. It seems the event where Shinichi earned the nickname of Wizard was at the beach meeting from the past. Ran specifically mentions "sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work." in Volume 80, File 7 (846), pg 4. I want to put out there for stab-in-the-dark potential that bioluminescent phytoplankton that glow when the water is disturbed would qualify as magical.
It implies the middle brother might have also been present at the ocean meeting with Sera, Shinichi, and Ran since he asked about "The Wizard" in the text message. If so, he too could recognize Conan as Shinichi from back then. This would tie in really well with the Shuukichi is the middle brother theory since he is an expert at memorization and could recall Conan's face, which meshes with his immediate treatment of Conan as a skilled detective with no prompting or testing.
PS: My guess is that the main body of the message that Sera received was a response to her question of how the brother knows Conan. Sera is of course surprised that anyone would have met Conan since she knows he is Shinichi and thus "shouldn't exist". She would ask this right away. The answer was something mundane like "I met him during a case" and not, "oh I recognize Conan is Shinichi" or the brother would not have followed up with the PS.

Re: Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 859-861
If the brother knows Conan identity, don't u find this PS as an indirect question to Sera as "Do u know he's the wizard?". Because think about it, if he knew Shinchi shrunk, he wouldn't ask her sister if she met him since the answer would logically be no, but maybe the brother wanted to see if Sera also had the same thoughts as himself so he asks her about it, maybe to assure his thoughts as well.Chekhov MacGuffin wrote:Regarding the middle brother's PS "Have you met the Wizard yet?" and Sera's response "you could say so"...

Edit. That's if we consider shinichi is indeed the wizard.
