Evidence of real time line in the detective conan world.

With that in mind, the next holiday in the series should probably be the Golden Week.

Problem is: In the moonlight sonata case, Kogoro mentions that it is currently the Golden week. Then there is Eri's Birthday, which is supposed to be in October.
So this theory isn't entirely bullet-proof, but I have yet to come across a better one.
@JD-: If you do that with the simpsons, you'll find out that Bart isn't really in fourth grade anymore.

Here's an example right there - We had Valentine's way back in the Vermouth arc, then 2 years ago we had Eri's birthday, and last year we had White Day.

As I've said before, if Gosho ever tries to explain this in a logical way, the only way to do so is claiming that the cases weren't in a chronological order (would only work if it's possible with the plot).

[GinRei]

Yeah, pretty sure that any case where the dates are vital to the case don't really need to go in any specific order to the plot.  The only ones that really don't work are: Valentine's, White Day, and London.  London has to take place in July, whereas the others take place at the end of the year (keep in mind, since this is a school-age anime, you'd go by the April-March timeline for a year instead of the standard January-December).

What we need to do is go through every single manga case and log the amount of time each one takes, the times of day involved, the location, and all other mentions to the passage of time therein... all in order to see just how much has actually passed.

That could be interesting.  And in some of them, like the ones where they're traveling and happen to run into a case, those can be combined with others, potentially.

I say we make Conia do it

London has to take place in July

Shouldn't it take place on June, considering Wimbledon is being played while they are there?

Spoiler:

July 1st through 4th.

is it matter?
in naruto.. the time jump for 2.5 years

That seems like a new DCTP project to me 

Chekhov attempted this once. Poor girl ain't been right ever since D:

So, to be able to solve as much cases as possible, I should try this one? (in order to "not been right")


BTW. I always take Conan's time-line as you can tell before or after this case to another case, but not how long before or after it. And I satisfied with that

[BO Member: Pina Colada]

i usually think the cases take place at least a couple days apart unless otherwise stated.
the only real problems are if you put the AO in the timeline and on how many happen between the holidays mentioned since we know it started by at least thanksgiving since we get a christmas case shortly after the start and is just now in summer with the London case saying July.

[Jd-]

The AOs can't even be considered with this. It'd be completely insane at that point.

What I want to see is whether or not we've officially surpassed an actual year of time yet, in terms of days accounted for.

[Dus]

There have been 227 cases so far. It's safe to assume that we have, I'd say, taking into account occasional references to previous events, like getting a new case, or travelling and stuff like that.

[Apotoxin]

Does it really matter how much time has passed? Just watch it and hope he grows back some time.

[BO Member: Pina Colada]

i'm currently re-reading the manga and at 122 and it's already summer so it's got to be a couple years already by now.

a possibility is that multiple cases where multiple days pass (like the really early perfect alibi case or the Akemi case) happen at the same time.

Of course I would completely ignore that theory unless it's necessary to make sure not enough time has passed that Ran and Sonoko would have had to redo a grade in order for it to make sense for them to still be in high school.

Edit: I just realized the alibi and Akemi cases are right next to each other in the manga...interesting...
