New Theory: "Amuro Has British Connections" Discussion Topic

[Jd-]

I've always thought that Bourbon was an elegant dresser xD.
But I didn't know this was British style.

It isn't (I have one teacher who dresses pretty similarly to Furuya, but other than that nothing comes to mind. I mean, unless you're sixty or something no one wears flat caps either, but eh. And those frills on the mystery relative, well, we no longer live in the 19th century or whenever they're from either.), but it's what it's stereotyped as and being that Aoyama clearly isn't British it would make sense for him to use broad stereotypes to establish nationality (e.g. Jodie having blonde hair = Western. Not the best example, but I can't think of anything else right now.) in the same way he has such rigid rules for what right-handed and left-handed people use each hand for.

As you recognized, it's not really so much as "this is something all British people do" but more "something that is considered British". What Gosho appears to be effecting here is just that suave British gentleman look sported by fashionable British professionals and identified with British culture in general as a result. As mentioned in the Jodie example, he does this kind of thing a lot, which is another reason that continues to lead me to believe we're headed right for a British revelation in the near future (especially now that we have not just the clothing but Amuro being a boxer and a tennis player).

One contemporary real-life example of this sort of attire would be British magician Derren Brown; just a quick Google search revealed him in a vest suit very similar to what Amuro was just wearing, as well as a separate instance of him wearing a flat cap:

Spoiler:

This sort of look dates back to the Victorian era even (as mentioned in the original post), and was even worn by Jude Law in the recent Sherlock Holmes films:

Spoiler:

While other Western countries of course also don't shy away from these looks, most people who see them inevitably thinks of them as British foremost.

I guess Amuro might be an MI6 agent who's working for his country's secret police.

I wonder what Amuro truly thinks of Elena now that he's grown up and learned of some of the secrets...

I wouldn't be surprised(I'm kidding, I'd die of heart attack) if Elena was in fact an MI6-agent who's purpose was to get close to the organization through atsushi, that the BO had their eyes on(before he joined), and then she actually started admiring him and eventually fell in love and married him(while the MI6 saw it as an infiltration opportunity). Amuro was just that kid that she met in the secret police, who joined hands with the MI6 to put a stop on the BO.......which leads to the question, why is the british involved in a JAP-US-matter? Because it's actually a JAP-US-UK-Matter!! RUM, a suspect of being the boss, or another BO member has British origins...
