inspector megure - really?

Postby chinpokomon » May 10th, 2011, 10:15 am

i admit that i'm in the 100+ episodes but from what i'm seeing so far, i wonder if megure is even a key character? i mean, shinichi\conan do all the work and give the credit to kogoro and megure seem to either yell at kogoro for "attracting death" or whatever or just bark orders at his men. he never solved one case from what i've seen and usually just clueless about even a try to solve one. i really wonder how he got to be an inspector if he keep relying on others to do his work for him.

people who saw the whole series please donate your thoughts too i'm need to be corrected

fan fact #1: did you know that "megure" in hebrew means aroused?

Megure is pretty much one of these characters that never change. Even if I find him hilarious (I really like his VA too), he's almost inexistent when it comes to character development. Almost because he's had a few moments of glory, the first case that comes to mind is obviously 217-218 which is an excellent case involving the inspector.

It has several meanings in hebrew, but yes, "aroused" is one of them.
Though the way in which you're supposed to say that word is a bit different from the way you're supposed to say Megure's name.

Megure had an obvious role since the beginning, and it has stayed the same. There are tons of characters in fiction that were created only in order to serve one specific role, but when trying to give them some depth, it usually ruins them. Since Detective Conan is a series that keeps its status quo, Megure serves exactly the role he got from the start and didn't change. Thankfully, when Gosho gave him a backstory in one of the cases, it was good, and when considering what Gosho usually does in order to give depth to some not important characters, Megure is probably one of the best.

A bit hard to explain without spoiling anything, but if I had to sum it up, Megure is pretty much like this dude:

His role has pretty much always been the same.

Megure exists so that the police have someone they can report to so that Conan can overhear the evidence. :P

You know... everytime the are on a case they have the wrong answer and without Shinichi a lot of bad guys would have got away with murder. Makes me wonder how many got away with it before/without his involvement

In all the cases that we see, Conan happens to be involved; theoretically, Megure's department faces hundreds of cases, that we don't hear of, simply because Conan is not there.
This may be a very extreme example but I'll mention it anyway: discrediting Megure in the show as an inspector, is like discrediting Heiji for not solving as many cases as Conan; just because Heiji doesn't apppear as often, does not mean that Conan solves ten times more cases than Heiji.

I think that Megure has the potential to be a good officer, he's just way too boxed in by his views and regulations, which means he really doesn't see all the possibilities. Also, it means he won't do things as extreme as Conan (breaking and entering ect;) to try and prove someone is the criminal and is too easily swayed away from the truth...

Megure's there to diffuse tension by being awesome and funny, and for exposition purposes. :P Somebody has to do it.

I am going to sig this...

OT: well I think Megure is no less important than Chiba, and any other officers except Takagi and Sato.
