Discussion Thread: Detective Conan Files 891-893

this extreme plot development has giving me a ride of a life, to celebrate Bourbon's character development, here is a pic i drew on paint!!! ^^

From where I'm looking at it it all makes sense, but I can't help but wonder if that's really all there is to it. Amuro has the upper hand right now. Has had it for a while, actually. Has Conan ever been panicked and horrified over something for such a long time? While I do enjoy watching someone continuously play the usually so overconfident and pretentious Conan, it's not really Gosho's style to have Conan be in that tough a situation this long, is it?

Conan got pretty worked up over Vermouth before the clash, going so far as to stay over at Agasa's out of fear he was going to attack. It was also sort of the same with Kir/Eisuke, right before Red vs Black which cleared up that Eisuke was innocent and the Org was not using him.

Looking at past confrontations, there'd be consistency as far as how the stories told is concerned. While it is a dangerous situation Conan finds himself in, it's not necessarily as bleak as it might seem at first sight. Conan would draw the right conclusions, figure things out, and be able to plan accordingly. Now, maybe there'll be a few complications when it comes to executing the plan, but a few times it would be the fact that Conan out-smarted his opponents that ultimately kept his identity secret. He correctly deduced that Araide is really Vermouth and Jodie and Akai are good guys, that Kir is Eisuke's sister and really working for the CIA, and that Amuro is Bourbon. And every time he's right.

And all the while this is happening the reader would be unaware of it. Gosho wouldn't let us in on what Conan is thinking. We wouldn't know what the plan is only understand the full picture at the end of the arc. Now, some readers might be able to reach the same conclusions Conan does by picking up the same hints, so I guess what I'm saying isn't entirely true, but the point is that Gosho isn't very open about Conan's thoughts.

This time it's different. It looks like Conan is behaving the way he usually does. He thinks he figured it out and comes up with a plan. Only this time, his deduction that Bourbon is Japanese intelligence is wrong. I think it's the first time Conan's ever been wrong about something this major. What's notable, though, is that he's still just as confident about it. Also, especially looking at 893, Gosho is telling us what exactly Conan is thinking.

I think it's a very different way of telling the story than what we're used to, which I guess makes it hard to say where Gosho is gonna go with it.

I saw several people talking about how Conan needs to be wrong for once, and it seems that Goushou agrees, perhaps?

though he made sure that the error was in an high intellectual level and that conan didn't go through with a plan to see it fail because of his error. Still feels like Gosho is holding back about the whole "conan being wrong" but i dont really mind that, the only thing I want is to see his deductions and investigations about BO related puzzles before it gets revealed in the climax like old times (the Eisuke and Vermouth investigations he did with heiji f.exmp.)

so i drew this a long time ago, and finally finished coloring it. Yes, i seem to draw a lot, but that's my thing. Everything that Has Happened in the plot! Next up, "BOURBONS PURSUIT" (Not sure if I'll draw that though) ^^

[k11chi]

That's really nice looking...

thanx k11chi, have u btw gotten rid of all ur feelings toward the naruto serie?

[Fujiwara]

Neither those pictures nor talk about Naruto belongs in this thread. Please try to stay on-topic. ^_^

I mentioned Bourbon pursuit, it's something

[MeiTanteixX]

So anyway, the way l see it, one of the possibilities are that Bourbon actually joined the PSB as a spy for the Organization, another possibility is that as he was being trained in the academy, he got the chance to join the PSB, and has since then switched sides(maybe bcuz of some affection by Date) and been working as a spy for the PSB, and just lied to conan for the sake of avoiding future problems of being exposed. It seems rather strange that amuro has no connection with PSB after Gosho bothered mentioning it, just not the way Gosho roles!

Btw, does anyone have a clue if the PSB has a standard sport activity they play, Maybe amuro playing tennis has something to do with it...

Does anyone else draw their spirals, as described by Takagi and Megure, with the opposite handedness compared to how the manga does it? I draw opposite the direction the teacher does (or the same as the culprit) going outside to center, when using my right hand.

Also, Jd- had me thinking, but after reading this case in English, I definitely think Amuro was going to go bowling for teachers based what he said about lurking in the shadows and all. Amuro was such a troll in this case.

[RoboG55]

I'm left handed and i draw spiral from inside out, (starting from center)

Hey, I do too (also left-handed)

[kkuuddoo]

yay I am left handed as will, I was always the only one, thank god there are more people like me

[ALAKTORN]

I draw opposite the direction the teacher does (or the same as the culprit) going outside to center, when using my right hand.

So does my grandmother. I, my oldest brother, and my mom do it like in the manga.

When I asked her my grandmother mentioned writing cursive “a” by going up but then back down to the left, and I don’t even remember how she ends it. I think it’s more natural to make a full circle, left-to-right, going clockwise; and then just pass over the top part again and end going down-right, all in a swift clockwise circular motion with no interruptions. I thought maybe the way we used to write cursive in affects the way we draw circles.

Edit: actually my post was more about circles than spirals. I don’t think I’d draw a spiral starting from the outside, as that would imply that you’ve already decided its size. Starting from the center so you can make it as big as you want while drawing it seems to make more sense to me.

I though everybody make cursive "a"s like that? o_O
I like drawing spirals inside out because I find that more natural and easier too.
How am I either the only one or one of two members in my family that are left-handed? T_T
