Snake is a member of the BO?

[Arisana]

We don't know for certain that Snake was the one who killed Toichi, though. Only that the people with Snake did. If he was part of the BO, I imagine that it would have been Gin or someone who created an untraceable crime.

If anything, Snake would be part of an incompetent branch?

That's exactly what I've been thinking. We already know that Snake's signature kill is a single shot to the heart. The way Toichi died doesn't fit Snake's M.O. so I just can't accept the concept of Snake being the one who killed Toichi. Think of it this way: Snake's method is quick, precise, not exceedingly showy, it's obviously a case of murder and it isn't premeditated. The way Toichi was killed was extensively premeditated, it was very messy and it was made to look like an accident. Snake lacks both the finesse and psychological make-up needed to be capable of committing this kind of act.

Possibly Snake is a low-rank member, like Akemi; no proper alcoholic codename, just does whatever missions are handed out to him, not the most ranking or skilled member of the bunch. (I love Akemi, but she had several screwups in that heist, from choosing shitty partners to losing her cool and botching her disguise job.) I can see Gin or Vermouth being behind Toichi's death, and controlling Snake.

This does leave the possibility that someone higher-up will eventually deciding that Snake isn't up to the task of eliminating Kid, and sending someone better out...

Vicky had a similar theory, if you look at the Mythos branch over here: http://detective.ethereal-visions.net/v ... p=866#p866

And yes, Snake's signature kill is indeed a shot to the heart, despite other lousy attempts of firing.

That's likely what could have happened.

Snake is a member of the BO ?

I hope not.

Well.... He does wear black....

Maybe it’s just me, but when did someone’s wardrobe color choices matter? >_> <_< Even protagonists wear black.

[D.]

I suggest that snake may be a very low rank member, since Kid was able to follow him easily without him noticing.

Akai for example was a member of BO even though he's a protagonist so yes, choice of wardrobe matter

If that’s the case, then you might as well consider Ran an antagonist for wearing black. ;D

She's not out of the question LOL (When did Ran wear all black attire? Funerals don't count)

Regardless, if full black was an actual rule, we’d be able to tell who every BO agent was on the spot. >_> I don’t think that’s Gosho’s style.

Childhood friends turn lovers is a rule
Jerks are killer or got killed is a rule
Misleading new characters to have evil look is a rule
None of the main characters ever get killed is a rule
Season changes but not the year is a rule
and many more underlying rules... ^^ Such is how Gosho works LOL

That's a good point because Haibara actually did said something to that extent during the Bus Jacking Case when Conan was freaked out by some man wearing black. Then there's the woman Conan thought was Black Org but was actually a red herring. You know, the case where Haibara was first introduced. I don't recall seeing Sherry wearing any black during the flashback when she still in the B.O either.
