Detective Haibara 643(Grabbing Karuta Cards in Dire Straits (Part Two))

conan you jerk, they all got sick because of you

But it's ok, because Detective Haibara can save the day. And then cure cancer. By blinking. Still not sure how I should feel about the case, but at worst, I've seen so much more uninteresting and lamer cases based too much on japanese text.

I've missed Takagi. It's amazing how Takagi has gone from minor AO character to fairly important character back to minor character. And sad, because he's awesome. NEED MOAR TAKAGI (don't spoil what has or hasn't happened in the manga, I don't want to know). If nothing else, this helps confirm that that one heavily armored bomb squad guy from the Red Shirt case is Takagi's twin brother.

NEED MOAR TAKAGI (don't spoil what has or hasn't happened in the manga, I don't want to know).

takagi has dropkicked at least 7 criminals in the neck in the time between the anime+manga

oh that's spoilers sorry

anyway, this is a meh case, I'm honestly sorta surprised that even when the culprits have the cell phone listening to the DBs, when the DBs say "let's text our friend about these clues" they just sit and wait for the kids to find the cellphone instead of running in there and nabbing the phone.

and, still not a fan of how they basically drew the bad guy in the bathroom with a widows peak when he should have a straight hairline. :I

Would have been much better if they didn't show that Conan had left his bed.  It kinda spoiled the ending cause you knew Conan was coming to save the day.  All in all, a pretty meh episode.

The only  part of this episode I really like  is when Haibara does the Conan "I see" face, I keep rewatching that 10 second segement over and over again like I did with the episode in which Haibara did the "Ah-le-le" to tease Conan lol.

I was very disappointed when Conan saved the day in the end, when I read the manga back then. And I still did when I watched this.

[Questionable Answer]

Conan is always supposed to save the day, its kinda his thing. I think he should have just called the police and let them handle it.

It was honestly better than last time and had Takagi help.

That's the best we could have realistically hoped for.
