As for the Haibara arc... why don't we call it the Sherry arc, by the way?... when was she introduced, 1997 or 1998? I remember you bringing out a list of the DC releases from September 2014 up until March 2015 in Shonen Sunday while Gosho was ill... do you have such an account going back to the 1990s?
Ai first appeared in Vol.18, and Vol.18 was published on Jan 17 1998. So the chapter that first had Ai is likely to be out in late 1997
(I can't find the release date for each chapter
)
Volume 18 Japanese version says that it was
1997 Sunday issues 35-45.
so, roughly mid august to the beginning of october.
I figured so—when putting up the release dates while compiling the list of cases, I've had to guesstimate for 1994–2003 cases and some of the 2004 and 2005 ones—for her intro, here's what I have:
51 — Missing Older Brother Case/The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case (Volume 18, Files 176–178/Files 6–8) (Released Monday, August 25th (176)/September 1st (177)/8th, 1997 (178))
52 — Murdered Professor Case/The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case (Volume 18, Files 179–180/Files 9–10 and Volume 19, File 181/File 1) (Released Monday, September 22nd (179)/29th (180)/October 6th, 1997 (181))
Some of these (if not all) are probably on the incorrect week, but they fit the parameters of the release windows for those SS issues.
By any chance, does anyone have the SS release dates dating back to SS 1, as in the SS 1 that came out in late 1993? (Or, at least, the release dates dating back to the first file of DC) I'm not holding out hope, but I've gotta ask, at least.
I guess she didn't appear in
The Fourteenth Target because most people watched the anime, and her appearance would've confused the heck out of people due to the way they handled File 13–File 16 in Episode 13, and she hadn't been introduced in the anime. The anime, at this point, was adapting Volumes 14–16, and the big adaption, at the time was of File 156–File 159 in Episode 76.
“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
