My point is that it isn't realistic in the slightest and breaks my willing suspension of disbelief. The Black Organization is supposed to be an incredibly dangerous threat and is hyped up as such, including their modus operandi (anyone who finds out about them or sees anything they shouldn't have being killed) and with how they have their tentacles in a lot of things, including political assassinations. Having a seventeen year old turned seven year old consistently beat them without any losses makes them a lot less of a threat. They lose their initial intimidation factor because the main protagonists always manage to outsmart them in some way, yet we're not at the end of the series, where having an underdog character beat them would be inspiring. It is instead like a setup for a story about the hubristic falling and failing with severe consequences now, because of that. It makes some sense with Akai, as he's at least in his late twenties and he's worked undercover with them for several years so he's aware of how the organization works rather well and he'd be aware of the mentalities with key figures in the Organization. Meanwhile, Conan doesn't have enough experience with them to so consistently guess what they're going to do.ShinRan4ver wrote: You are getting excited over nothing, just remember Conan's stupid proposal of letting Agasa drive Kir to safety in Clash of R&B, that was part of a grand plan that turned out just fine(Akai alive, Kir still working undercover in BO, etc). Also Vermouth managed to bug the entire Agasa household, that is as dangerous a situation as Amuro is now. You are reading a manga where the main theme is that the main character & his friends go through all sort of danger and emerges just fine, rooting against that main character is going to get you no where.
Also, Hubris and recklessness is the core part of Shinichi's character, as Akako remarked in Ep219 "someone powerful, with the aggressiveness of the devil". It would not be fun at all to have a humble and non-aggressive Conan as the main character.
As far as your "They barely made it out of the Bell Tree train mess without casualties and, even then, it managed to set up part of this current situation" worry. Should I remind you that They(Conan and Haibara) barely made it out of the Haido Hotel mess & the Holloween Party mess and emerged with notable gains(the APTX4869 disk & the Boss Phone Number)? I am pretty confident that nobody will really die(although we may see fake death Akai style)and everything will be alright, let's not forget all those people who panicked and thought Haibara was going to die on Bell Tree only to be duped by Gosho at the end.
That's part of why I'm happy with this arc. Part of what led to this was the slap-dashed and sloppy execution of the Bell Tree mess: Akai, when detaching the train car via grenade and providing a bit of wiggle room for KID to escape, was seen by Bourbon. KID was involved because Conan decided to add him last minute using blackmail. Thus Bourbon now has suspicions about Akai's death, which means he's still lurking about the detective agency. That also led to him being at the shrine case and hearing from Jodie and Conan enough to start investigating Kusuda.
And there's a difference between hubris and being active. My point is that Conan is getting so reckless that he thinks he can so easily beat them. He's overconfident and proud, more than he initially was at the start of the series. (Hubris refers to such pride and overconfidence that one loses contact with the reality of the situation.) I'm waiting for something really hyped up to happen at some point that ends badly for him, at the very least to take him down a peg or two. His string of victories has left him cocksure and proud, unable to understand that constantly taking chances like that means one's luck will eventually run out. And when it does, the resulting firestorm will be bad for whoever is caught in it.
Conan is gambling with lives, yet he seems unaware of the true consequences of the situation, considering how the Black Organization is. You don't see this behavior and mentality from Jodie and Haibara, who've suffered family losses at the Org's hands. Hell, Shuichi, though he went with plans initially [Clash of Red and Black], has changed since he's had to disguise himself as Subaru. He's staying much more in the background unless absolutely necessary to prevent people from getting hurt or killed (such as retrieving Masumi from Vermouth's car, preventing Haibara from taking the antidote, and detaching the train car to avoid KID being revealed and killed).
