Spoiler:

Did anyone else find these reveals a little...anticlimactic? Not in the sense that many of us were aware of who the three bourbon suspects were (due to multiple theories), but just the way they were presented?

Spoiler:

it does feel less epic than vermouth reveal. but there still much that we need to know like how akai survive the bomb? so the arc still continue.

[mihai]

the chapter is looking great, I can't wait to see it translated

Spoiler:

just for the lulz I would like to see a certain someone throw the grenade with a wide evil grin and the usual triangular shaped teeth

Five random thoughts:

Spoiler:

1) Chek, you rule. Holmes would be proud of you.
2) It occurred to me that Conan actually knows who Bourbon is now. If he was suggesting answers to Kaito/Kid's earpiece, he had to hear the questions. He would have therefore heard Amuro announcing the happy hour.
3) Yuusaku was not on the train, I am disappoint. Then again, Yukiko was also the only one involved in the desperate revival arc and Vermouth's reveal. Yuusaku is either working in the background or hiding in Tibeth so his agents don't get him
4) Kid taking on a main role is ... very interesting. I'd love the two stories to join after running parallel for so long. It was such a pity to see Kid turned into a filler; I was fond of Magic Kaito. Real criminal organisations don't share well; there is no way Tokyo would have TWO Orgs of that scale sharing turf without wars or fights.
5) Akai! Stop stealing your little sister's things and leaving them lying about! Go clean up the kitchen!

I think I'm off to read the whole thing again, and maybe this time I'll give the poor murder some attention. I admit I skipped nearly all of the panels that did not concern the main struggle; which is probably what Sensei wanted me to do. I completely missed Kid that way.

Spoiler:

Yeah, the murder was almost totally forgotten due to the plot stuff. We only remembered it when trying to link it to the plot; heck, I think we even associated the missing conductor's uniform with the BO instead of the case. xD

Spoiler:

I really don't get how everybody thinks Bourbon is a good guy now. He didn't plan to save Sherry, he wanted to take her back to the organisation - that was Gin's plan too if you recall, he could have killed her on the roof back then. He sure doesn't seem that cold blooded, but that's just the detective kind of person he seems to be.
I think his last words about reopening the Akai case are very interesting - let's see how Kir comes into this one now.

Maybe Gosho will push this arc a little further.. not again 200 chapters of nothing serious. There's gotta be a new "Clash of Red and Black"-like arc which lasts a little longer.

[Holmes]

Oh well, I don´t know you guys, but the resolution caught me off guard (not in a bad way). I was laughing like an idiot when everything was explained.

Spoiler:

KID + Conan and helping them? That´s new. Liked it a lot. 

. I agree Gosho can´t abandon this storyline.

[Kogorou]

I don't know what I should think about this ending…
Somewhat lame and hilarious … to hilarious for me.
I expected a big ending!

Now we have to wait another hundered chapters to get to the next arc. Alright Gosho bring it on.
Now we all know who really is to fear in the BO!

[MagicianUndertheMoonlight]

I can't say anything happened in the resolution that was unexpected or hadn't been fully elucidated by the forum. Now Kid is involved more directly with the BO and Vermouth is aware of his involvement. Also, I wonder if Bourbon can continue to pose as Kogorou's apprentice now that his identity as a BO member is known. Personally I felt Gosho defused the arc clumsily this time.

Plus Bourbon comes across as pathetic to me, despite all the hype surrounding his persona. There was nothing impressive, and a lot unimpressive, about him in this chapter.

[Kogorou]

Bourbon seems weak but we should wait, his only miscalculation was that Akai is dead.
And how did Akai survive ?

[MistyReeyus]

Okay, with this file's ending, I'll be very, very surprised if Kid doesn't start snooping around the Black Org. There's no way he'd let something like this just slide.
So the fifth panel on page 15 seems to imply that Haibara was let in on the plan after she ran into Yukiko, and then she went along with it. Makes me feel a little better, knowing that her role in the story wasn't completely diminished. I'm a little amazed how she could fall asleep right after that though; if it were me, my nerves would still be a little shaken up and I wouldn't be able to sleep.

[Kogorou]

Yeah, I try to figure that out at the moment too.
Haibara must have been drugged, maybe she didn't want to take part in that whole sharade

[MistyReeyus]

But if she was drugged, how could she have been instructing Kid from the other room? Unless Conan was lying about that...

[Kogorou]

Exactly, Why should Conan reveil the whole plan. I am pretty sure that he knew that Vermonth was listening.

[El Huesudo II]

Haibara didn't need to be drugged. It's likely that she was still wide awake and merely pretending to sleep while being carried away by Agasa (who was totally in on the plan).

Or she actually fell asleep once the plan could be considered successful and passed out because of exhaustion.
