Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 921-924

[Kor]

As stated in the above image, please continue to use spoiler boxes for the first seven days in which a file is available. However, due to legal restrictions, we kindly ask that you do NOT post any links in this topic to any Japanese raw files or English scanlations. For more information on this matter, please click here.

There's no break. Next file is next week.

Mediocre file :

Spoiler:

-Ran crying...again. A 4-5 year old girl crying for the dumbest things certainly makes sense but having a story of their first meeting where she wasn't forced into the role of the eternal crying girl would have been much better.
-Shinichi the eternal problem solver and it's portrayed awfully too : the panel with the kids looking up at Shinichi-sama has got to be one of the most idiotic panels in the history of this series.
tl;dr : Awful gimmicks for both characters. Cliché, cliché and more cliché.
-Flashback seems pulled out of nowhere. We'll see how that one ends up with the next files...

Positive aspect : presence of Eri and Yukiko...and that's about it. Ran looks nice on the cover too.

Spoiler:

Appears as if there'll be no break next week.

Starts with Shinichi/Conan, Ran, Sonoko and Masumi walking through a forest, which eventually leads to a flashback of what apparently are kindergarten Shinichi and Ran.

I can't tell more than that, because I was only able to find a few pictures while searching the net, and I can't read Japanese.

Spoiler: Not really a spoiler, but...

Yukiko is immortal! She didn't change at all despite that this chapter's her appearance is from like 12 years ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if it will turn out that Yukiko and Vermouth are siblings even without knowing that. They both:

- stopped aging
- are actresses
- are masters of disguise
- know each other and are friends (and seems Vermouth is hesitant about killing Yukiko)

Spoiler:

Ran crying... again... the eternal crying girl.

Spoiler:

Is there a count of how many times she's cried? I would presume so, given how the fanbase documents so much. Since you're a veteran DC reader, can you say with certainty that it isn't a stereotype? Of course, taking into account YMMV (Your milage may vary).

Also, what made the file not terrible? In your original post, you put "terrible file," rather than "mediocre file." Something change your mind?

Spoiler:

In DC, you have to get up into the 50s before your appearance starts to change, it seems.

I would hesitate to draw such comparisons between the two—you'd think Yukiko would have told her son more about Vermouth, if that was the case, unless you suggest the "grew up separately" angle—I'd be very surprised if they turned out to be sisters.

Akai : 'You're always crying.'

Ran : 'Is it wrong ?'

Terrible was a bit over the top is all.

Spoiler:

But the other characters are appearing too. Yusaku, Eri, Kogorou. They all changed. Or at least they changed slightly. Except Yukiko. She looks they same now as she looked 12 years ago.

My words about them being siblings were a some kind of irony, but the fact is that Gosho could draw her a bit differently to show that the 12 years changed even Yukiko.

Optionally now we know why Yukiko hates being called "obasan". Perhaps I also would hate this word if my appearance would not change even a single bit through that 12 years...

Akai : 'You're always crying.'

Ran : 'Is it wrong ?'

If you take Akai's word as gospel... he'd only met her once before, and from that second meeting, inferred that that was what she did. I know, she responds in such a manner that suggests that she really does, but... ah, I probably should count up the times she does, and see if they are "legitimate" (taking YMMV into account, of course.)

Where to find the whole file. And some translation.

[Startold]

Quick translation of the first two pages:

Spoiler:

PAGE 1:

Ran: It's beautiful!
Sera: The sakura flowers have bloomed!

Sera: The road Conan-kun told us about was the right one!
Sonoko: Well done, kid!
Conan: Yestereday after school, I want here with Genta and the others. I thought that these sakura were beautiful.

Ran: Hm....
Ran: Everytime I see sakura flowers, I remember...
Ran: ... my first meeting with Shinichi.
Ran: He probably doesn't know it,
Ran : but à that time...

PAGE 2:

Ran: I hated him.

[Wakarimashita]

Akai : 'You're always crying.'

Ran : 'Is it wrong ?'

I don't. It's her answer which is important here, of course.

There You will find a whole chapter instead of a few pictures .

Akai : 'You're always crying.'

Ran : 'Is it wrong ?'

Hehe, but You know... Akai met Ran two times. In two different continents. And Ran two times was crying. Something after all must be wrong with Ran .

But thanks Wakarimashita for the link. I completely forgot that Akai smokes. As Subaru we didn't see him smoking. I wonder if he quit.
