Episode 178: Reunion with the Black Organization (Part 3)
Haibara grows up, and climbs the chimney, wearing overalls. At the top, Gin and Vodka are waiting for her in the snow. She is shot several times, and falls back down the chimney. At the bottom, Pisco is waiting for her, and sees her shrink. He thinks this is pretty cool, and tells her that he knew her parents when they were scientists. He then pulls a gun out to kill her, but Conan distracts him with a speaker and spirits. Spirits are 96% alcohol, and if you smoke while standing near a puddle of them, your cigarette will spark into blue flame, thus causing a fire that engulfs room 404 of Haido hotel. Pisco thinks Conan and Haibara hid in the chimney, but instead he meets Gin. We’re pretty sure Vodka was also in the chimney somewhere behind him, but maybe got stuck. Gin kills Pisco, even though Pisco could have told him everything about Haibara and Apotoxin. This was apparently under orders from Anokata. But when Gin received these orders is ambiguous. Maybe it was when he was in the chimney. Haibara tells Conan that this entire incident should be a warning to him not to get too close to the organization. Conan replies: “Yes, I understand it very well now. That I have to crush them no matter what!” In the end, inside the “German Rain Frog,” there’s a new member of the organization. A suspicious “Khaaahractor.”

Tumblr media
Detective Conan/Case Closed's 56th opening sequence summarizes various storylines throughout the series' 1,000+-episode run, but only three of these recaps emphasize a crucial object for the storyline in question.
When recounting one of the scenarios in which Ran suspects that Conan is actually Shinichi (Episode 96), the object in question is the camellia flower that links the deaths of two women.
Tumblr media
When recounting the first encounter between Conan and Kid the Phantom Thief (Episode 76), the object in question is the Black Star that Kid intends to steal.
Tumblr media
And, when recounting the introduction of Heiji (Episodes 48-49), the object in question is the alcohol that returns Shinichi to his original body.
Tumblr media
Conan (internally): I turned back by drinking that alcohol!
It's 110% an overanalysis, absolutely, without a doubt, but of the three objects prominently featured in this OP, it's notable that only Heiji's alcohol possesses any relevance beyond its initial appearance. More than that, the alcohol is crucial to the plot—it's the first thing providing Shinichi with any real evidence that his predicament isn't permanent, it saves Ai's life when she's held captive by Pisco (Episode 177), and because it saves Ai's life, it allows her to successfully retrieve the APTX 4869 drug data from the Black Organization, which then allows her to develop a more powerful antidote.
Heiji as a character is maybe odd within the Detective Conan canon. He's introduced as a rival to Shinichi only for this role to quickly be claimed by Kaito instead; he's a friend and confidant, a holder of Shinichi's secret identity, but he's only allowed to appear periodically because of his geographical distance. There's certainly the question of why he's even here—Ai provides the partnership Shinichi needs to not feel so alone whilst trapped in a body he does not consider his, Kid provides the battles of wit that excite and motivate Conan, Masumi provides the companionship of a fellow teen detective, and she's far more integrated with the overarching story.
But this opening's focus on Heiji's alcohol underscores exactly why he's here: he's hope. He's the initial push to what Shinichi desires, the key that unlocks what the Organization's poison had forcibly hidden away, the proof that you can inspire others to be better and improve, just as Heiji does when Shinichi swears to him that there's "only one truth."
...or, you know, I'm looking waaaaay too deeply into, like, three seconds of footage from an opening animation drenched in nostalgia.
Still, I appreciate the focus on the alcohol. It feels like Heiji is often viewed as little more than comic relief or a splash of variety in a sea of Sleeping Kogoro or Detective Boys cases, but he's played an immense role in this story. It's Heiji's presence that assured Shinichi of an eventual end to his imprisonment when he had hardly any leads at all, and it's Heiji's presence that's played a tremendous role in helping that end come to fruition. No matter how far away he is, Heiji is a hope and comfort that Shinichi can always rely on, and the 56th opening wordlessly communicates as much.

A COLLECTION OF ALL GINXVERMOUTH OFFICIAL MOMENTS - PART 1
This post is about all GinxVermouth official moments and info ~
This guide was originally posted on IG and made in collaboration with my friend @/sapphirebartholy_art (IG). Until December 15, you could also find the updated version of this guide posted on my IG profile but now guides are not available anymore.
Therefore, I decided to post this here, so everyone can read it. This post will be updated when new info will come out🍸
Tumblr media
Vol. 24, File "A White World"
At the end of the case, Vermouth is in the Porsche along with Gin and Vodka. Gin and Vermouth talk about what has happened and Gin seems sorry for having involved her, an high ranked member, only to help a man like Pisco. This is a brief moment in which Gin shows to hold Vermouth in high esteem.
Tumblr media
Vol. 29, File "Invisible Fear"
The quintessential GinxVermouth scene, the one that made this ship canon for the first time and for good. Vermouth asks Gin if he wants to make some Martini tonight.
(Martini is a mix of Gin and Vermouth)
Tumblr media
Vol. 34, File "Time to pick the Apple"
In this scene, Vermouth sends an email to Gin and, at the end of it, she writes "XXX" (which stands for three kisses).
Tumblr media
Vol. 42, File "Rotten Apple"
At the end of the case, Vermouth is badly injured and finds a shelter in a phone booth. She calls Gin and asks him if he could pick her up.
Eventhough Vermouth didn't inform him about nothing (and believing that he was not aware of what she has been plotting), she still decides to call him.
This shows that Vermouth relies on Gin when she is in a serious situtation. She could have called other lower ranked members but she didn't.
Tumblr media
Vol. 48, File "A New Person in Black"
After having discussed about the plan, Vermouth openly asks to stay out of this. As soon as Chianti hears her voice, she gets out of her car and yells at her, blaming Vermouth for the death of Calvados. Gin immediately stops Chianti, hushing her with just few words.
Tumblr media
Vol. 49, File "Black Organization vs F.B.I. - 1"
After having discussed about plan B, Vermouth says that she has a bad feeling about this and asks to be killed if something goes wrong. Gin immediately notices her words and plainly asks her if ther is something bothering her.
Eventhough she replies that it is nothing to worry about, Gin observes Vermouth departing, knowing that she lied to him.
Tumblr media
Vol. 49, File "Black Organization vs F.B.I. - 2"
Gin has found the bug under Kir's shoe and all the Men in Black go to Kogoro's office in order to kill him. Vermouth doesn't agree with this and she openly says this multiple times. Gin orders Chianti and Korn to kill both Kogoro and Conan but, upon hearing another statement from Vermouth defending the detective, he reacts pointing his gun at her.
Gin asks if there is something between her and Kogoro but she just teases him. Gin decides to put away his gun because he understood that Vermouth was behaving in her usual way. He decides to let it all go and do further researches.
This really seems a jealousy scene, just as Vermouth's one at the beginning of the scene in Vol. 29, where she teases Gin for staring at the singer.
Tumblr media
Vol. 49, File "Black Organization vs F.B.I. - 2"
After the their retreat, Vermouth once again intervenes in favour of Kogoro, explaining how things went according to her point of view.
Gin decides to believe her and lets Kogoro live, listening to Vermouth's request.
Tumblr media
Vol. 78, File "All Aboard!"
At the beginning of the case, Gin and Vermouth are talking on the phone. Eventhough only to tell him not to interfere, Vermouth informs Gin about her plans.
Gin seems very happy about it and even teases her.
From now on, Vermouth decides to regain his trust little by little (eventually she will stop doing everything on her own by the end of The Scarlet Return and she will openly say it to Bourbon).
Tumblr media
Vol. 78, File "Final Destination"
Gin and Vodka are waiting for Vermouth and Bourbon at the last stop in Nagoya. While the two are talking, Vodka reveals that Vermouth has asked him to give her more C4 if there was any spare.
Gin immediately reacts and he is even more concerned when Vodka states that she has provided no explanation for her request.

Rum’s subordinate theory
—————-——(Haneda problem)———————
Tumblr media
(File 1066)
The ASACA song and Soul Detective cases demonstrate that the BO continues to view the Haneda case as significant. Despite their fixation, RUM disguised himself as a sushi chef to monitor Kogoro, rather than to investigate the cause of his mistake 17 years prior.
Tumblr media
(File 1060)
In this arc, we have seen RUM utilizing other agents to accomplish tasks that would prove difficult for him to complete alone. For instance, he attempted to investigate the Kudou situation but was unsuccessful, so he relied on the assistance of Bourbon. He also utilized Vermouth to investigate the Yuusaku TV case.
Gosho has established that RUM uses agents to his advantage. Given his continued interest in the Haneda case, as evidenced by the BO's actions, it's natural that he would use an unnamed agent to keep an eye on the situation. This would explain why he has the time to investigate Kogoro and keep the Haneda case as a secondary concern.
Tumblr media
(File 423)
Following Pisco's death, the Nomiguichi family disappeared, and the BO burned Pisco's house. Haibara states in File 242, "All suspicious individuals are erased... that's their style." This statement was further expanded in File 243 to state, "If they are aware of your involvement with the organization, it will undoubtedly become a heavy burden for them.
Tumblr media
(File 422)
My interpretation of this is that the BO places a strong emphasis on eliminating loose ends. Given RUM's mistake in the 17-year-old case, this emphasis would likely extend to that situation as well. The BO is operating in Japan, and the only surviving family member of the victim in that case is Haneda Kouji. However, there is no evidence of any attempt to harm or even monitor this family.
Shukichi became a member of the Haneda family and even followed in Kouji's footsteps. It's possible that the Hanedas' wealth and influence, which provide them with connections to organizations like MI6, have created a protective shield for themselves in case the perpetrators of their son's death come looking for them, making it difficult for the BO to infiltrate.
In conclusion, the BO's reputation for tying up loose ends is well established, as demonstrated by the events following Pisco's death. This precedent would not likely be disregarded in a case where the number two of the organization made a mistake. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that the BO may be keeping an eye on the Hanedas.
—————————(Intro cases)—————————
Gosho has established a pattern in the RUM arc where he introduces characters that are crucial to the plot. In these cases, he employs symbolism and provides hints through references to give readers a deeper understanding of the character's role in the story.
Tumblr media
(File 916)
In the introduction case for Kuroda, he mentioned that he had heard rumors about Conan from the National Police Agency (NPA). As a result, he referred to Conan as "the sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom." It is known that Kuroda acts as Bourbon's handler within the NPA.
Tumblr media
(File 975)
In Wakita's intro case, the spirit horse reference symbolizes RUM. We now know, for the most part, that Wakita is RUM.
Tumblr media
(File 966)
Rumi's introduction case centered around the discovery of a wealthy person's skeleton ten years after their death by the Detective Boys. The headmaster of the case mentioned the need to atone for one's sins, symbolizing Rumi's desire for the BO to pay for their sin of killing Haneda Kouji. The references to Whiskey and Ebisu in the case also hold significance. Whiskey symbolizes the BO, and Ebisu symbolizes good luck. This has since been proven true, as Rumi has an APTX list, connecting her to the BO, and has Kouji's good luck charm.
In conclusion, Gosho intentionally includes important information in character introduction cases that are related to the plot, providing readers with an understanding of what to expect from the new characters.
Tumblr media
(File 981)
Gosho appears to have intentionally emphasized the unlucky nature of Friday the 13th in Iori's introductory case. Through interactions between Iori and Bourbon, the reasons for the superstitions surrounding the date were highlighted, with Iori going so far as to interrupt Bourbon to further emphasize the point. This emphasis on the unlucky day could have been done to prompt readers to question its true significance. Additionally, Bourbon mentioned that Friday the 13th only occurs twice a year, as if Gosho wanted to remind readers of another instance in the series when the unlucky day was present.
Tumblr media
(File 606)
The main timeline of Detective Conan takes place over the course of one year, and the only other time that Friday the 13th occurred was when Akai faked his death, which was related to the BO. In this case, Gosho continues to follow his formula of using symbolism and references in plot-related character introduction cases. The unlucky day of Friday the 13th symbolizes that the introduced character will bring misfortune, and this character is also related to the BO, as previously seen on this day in the past. There is also a subtle reference to the Iroha Sushi case, in which RUM was involved, further reinforcing this point.
—————————-(Chance)—————————-
In super digest book 100+, Gosho was asked about what led Iori to become Momiji's butler in the Ooka family, and he responded by saying that it was something to look forward to. This highlights the importance of Iori's role in the plot. As the BO places a significant emphasis on tying up loose ends, it is natural for them to want to do the same in the Haneda case.Given the plot, it is likely that Iori is the only person who can accomplish this task. Until recently, Gosho has kept Iori's role as a mere side character, leading readers to believe he is not important. However, this is likely because Gosho is saving Iori for something unique.Infiltrating the Haneda family might be difficult, so the next best thing would be to intercept the communication bridge between them and their associates to gather intel. Iori's role as Momiji's butler in the Ooka family is likely to be significant in this regard.
Tumblr media
(File 1042)
Iori has the means and influence to keep an eye on them using this method because the lover code case revealed his accessibility to non-public information regarding them. 
Tumblr media
(File 1040)
We can also see that Iori has the ability to be very persuasive towards Momiji. He gives her the necessary arguments to overcome any obstacles that she may encounter. This shows that he is not just a passive servant, but he is capable of providing valuable input that can move Momiji forward. If his true intention is to gather intelligence on the Haneda family, then he would have the ability to easily manipulate Momiji and extract information from the Ooka family as needed.
—————————(Scotch)———————————
The RUM arc started with the notion that the organization would try to eradicate any lingering spies. Bourbon also mentioned Scotch for the first time here.
Tumblr media
(File 1090)
During the resolution of the scriptwriter's murder case, Iori made a significant remark, saying, "It appears that he is being held back by his past ties." This statement referred to Bourbon's actions. Iori was pointing out the latter's recklessness and how it had made him appear suspicious. By mentioning this, Iori is highlighting Bourbon's weakness. Conan also reinforced this point by mentioning the PSB on the same page.
Tumblr media
(File 898)
If my assessment is correct, Iori gave himself away in his interaction with Kuroda. It's important to recall that the BO knew that there was a mole among their ranks, but only knew their face and not their name. This parallel is created by Gosho.If someone had tipped off the BO about Scotch's identity, that person must have been close enough to identify the NOCS within the PSB network, but not their real name. Similarly, Iori referred to Bourbon as the blond-haired man, indicating that he doesn't know him on a first-name basis. However, he was able to identify Bourbon's weakness, which suggests that he had in-depth knowledge about Bourbon's infiltration of the BO, specifically regarding the Scotch situation.
Tumblr media
(File 897)
The anonymous tip must have come from the NPA/PSB because people from other organizations would need more information to identify spies in the network. For example, Akai suspected Bourbon but could only verify after learning about his nickname, zero. 
Tumblr media
(File 1090)
Gosho's revealing of the dark silhouette during Iori and Kuroda's interaction was a strategic move for two reasons. Firstly, it redirected readers' focus away from Iori's telling comments. Secondly, if the shadowy figure is indeed Yasuharu Haneda, it reinforces the notion that the BO has a mole closely monitoring the Haneda family.To condense the idea, the anonymous informant who revealed Scotch's identity could only provide a facial description. The FBI required more than just a face and suspicious behavior to identify a spy within the NPA. This suggests that the BO might have a member within the NPA/PSB network who could get close enough to identify the NOCS but not reveal their name. Iori, who doesn't know Bourbon's name, was able to expose him as a spy and reveal his vulnerability. If someone did tip off the BO, Gosho could be drawing a parallel between Iori and the traitor who exposed Scotch.

How old do you think Karasuma is now? Is he still an old man, or is he a younger man, did he possibly rejuvenate?
Karasuma Renya "Child of Seven" Theory
I think Karasuma Renya is in child-form like Conan, and is planned to be Conan's mirror-version on the bad guy's side.
"Nanatsu no ko", the crow song that the boss uses (File 475), can also be read as "child of seven", which would fit with that he chose that song as a theme reflecting his current state, apart from the crow theme (essentially that BO members are sending their text messages to a 7-year-old child, signaled by the dial melody).
Tumblr media
Also, the fact that the research has lead to side effects such as shrinking (as seen with Conan, Haibara, Mary) and potentially halted aging (as seen with Vermouth) further presents the possibility that the boss was affected by them (Old man permanently stuck in a child's form).
It would also explain why Haibara described the drug that she was trying to create as "a foolish thing that most humans in the world wouldn't deem valuable" (File 384), because if the boss is working towards a cure for his state, then a drug that makes you age up fast wouldn’t be useful to anyone who can already age naturally, and people would normally value time and wouldn't want to lose it by growing old faster.
Tumblr media
Haibara also monologued in Mystery Train (after recalling Elena's words about their dream research) "I didn't understand that this drug was something that shouldn't be made... but to prevent people from getting involved, depending on this drug is my only option" (File 821). This could have been a direct hint to that she was referring to the antidote drug as both the drug that shouldn't be made and the drug that she was gonna depend on to transform back to Sherry and sacrifice herself in order to prevent harm to her friends.
Tumblr media
The APTX antidote effect being the true intended goal of the research makes the most sense, as it's not only consistent with both Haibara's drug description & Pisco's words ["who would have guessed you would develop it to this extent?" (File 242) | recreating the initial rare problem (shrinking) is a big step towards finding its solution], but that it also indirectly progresses the BO's research plans without Gosho having to introduce conviniently talented researchers to take over Sherry's research and to somehow progress the research in an even shorter time than the prodigy Sherry herself.
Tumblr media
Instead, by having Sherry herself finish the BO's drug (the APTX antidote) but for Shinichi's sake instead of Renya's, all it would take is for the BO to steal it from Conan/Haibara so they can progress with their evil plans before getting defeated in the climax.

I miss when Conan had a way less widespread specialized circle of cool spy fiction contact people, and actually had to rely on a small group of in-the-know people close to him.
Like. Going to super serious life-or-death missions against the Org in Professor Agasa's bright yellow Classic VW Beetle. Those were the times. The energy of those cases is unparalleled by any of the more recent, "cool" car/motorbike shootout chase scene with pro super-drivers or impossibly skilled snipers or whatever.

Episode 176: Reunion with the Black Organization (Part 1)
Enter Haibara’s Black Organization waves. It’s snowing in Beika. Gin has a nice car, and Conan and Haibara break into it with a coat hanger because Conan wants to place a transmitter inside it. Suddenly Haibara goes into shock. Gin and Vodka, joined at the hip, are walking across the street, glaring at drivers and stopping traffic. They are also extremely tall, and it’s hard to believe they even fit in their own “German Rainfrog,” the pet-name Gin has chosen for his car (see note below). Anyway, Gin eventually finds the transmitter because the snow was tattered in front of the car, and also because there was reddish-brown hair on his seat. Before he crushes it, Conan is able to overhear their plan to kill a man at the Haido City Hotel. Gin tells Pisco, “Don’t screw this up. You can even use ‘that’ drug,” which Conan deduces is Apotoxin 4869. So they end up at the hotel, which happens to be hosting a funeral party. Everybody is wearing black, which Conan says makes them all seem suspicious. The lights are turned down for a slideshow. There is someone with a knife. There was also a gunshot popping noise, shattering glass, and a floaty handkerchief that landed on Conan’s head. When the lights are turned up, they find a man dead under a fallen chandelier. 
THIS is a German Rainfrog, btw:

Regarding Elena and Atsushi's death, from the scenarios that I expect, Haibara’s parents' death was not an accident nor caused by Vermouth, but rather a suicide after realizing that the drug they created is very dangerous, and the only way to eliminate this drug without causing harm to their daughters (the organization knows their whereabouts and monitors them), is suicide in the lab by burning it, so that the data of their drug would be burned, and at the same time, the organization thinks that what happened was just an accident, so they do not harm their daughters, and this explains many things, such as the organization’s desire to recreate the terrifying drug that was used on Haneda and killed him without leaving a trace. But most of the data was destroyed with fire, so they ordered Sherry to remake APTX using data remains with the hope that she will recreate it... Finally, Haibara will realize in the end that the cause of her parents' death was to spare her and Akemi, which in turn would cause her some kind of grief..
Umm, initially I didn't agree with you but I see where you're coming from. At the same time I find it hard to believe Atsushi and Elena decided to sacrifice themselves like that leaving their children to the mercy of the BO. Feels kind of ruthless if you ask me. Also, I was just convinced that Carasuma Renya ordered their death after Shiho's birth due to:
The lack of the Miyanos' progress over the drug he truly wanted.
He'd recruit Shiho instead and have her groomed and raised by the BO and so, less likely to go against the BO's orders and wishes.
(Killing people who don't provide him with what he needed is a common habit for him as attested by Senma Furuyo in The Gathering of the Great Detectives Case).
Tumblr media
Also if this is kind of confusing, my APTX-4869 theory may explain it better. 😅
Anywho, I also found the way the Miyanos were eliminated, was very similar to how Vermouth finished off Jodie's father. And in general, the BO always burned down any of their previous agents' houses. Pisco is an example:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But I see your point. Especially with all the tape recordings thing that feel like a suicide message or parting gift to Shiho. However, Conan mentioned that Elena probably felt her death was near so she recorded these messages for her daughter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just interpreted them as follows: because the Miyanos were against the drug to be used for the murderous means, the BO decided to kill them off as Carasuma Renya maybe feared they would do anything drastic. And because the Miyanos may have disputed the BO with continuing a lethal drug, Elena sensed her looming death, so she recorded the tapes for Shiho and entrusted them to Akemi in case anything happened to Elena.
However, I could be wrong, so we'll just have to wait and see how and when Gosho decided to reveal the truth.
Tumblr media
Thank you for your theory by the way, I really enjoyed it cause it got me thinking😄
Thank you!

Hi! So I've been reading your long posts and would like to say I'm always glad to read it so you don't have to try to make it short just in case you thought it's annoying (it's not!)
Anyway I would like to ask what do you think about that episode where Conan sense Heiji falling into the sea? You've already talk about it, but do you perhaps have an explanation for why after sensing, and literally shouting Hattori's name to the sea, he then continued his investigation? When I first read it I was like, "??? Boy aren't you going to look for your best friend? He could be dying??". And I've been looking for an explanation of that scene because there's no way Shinichi will just ignore Heiji in danger (even if he's not sure about it) just to solve murder.
Hi! Thanks so much for reading, and for your kind words! That's reassuring to know.
I don't actually think I have too much to say on this aspect of Episode 174, but I guess we'll see! Do note that I haven't read the manga version of this case yet, so I'm fully going off of the anime depiction. And from the anime depiction, my personal view of the story, especially as it pertains to Shinichi and Heiji's relationship, is extremely positive. From what I know, I think it has to be the most blatant example of how deeply Shinichi cares about Heiji.
The way I see it, Conan does everything he possibly can to find his friend. There's not a moment's hesitation once he senses that something's wrong—he immediately asks the ship's information desk if they'd seen "the guy with the Kansai accent," runs to the deck when they confirm that they'd lent Heiji a flashlight, and screams "Hattori" so loudly and repeatedly that the majority of the passengers hear him.
There's a genuine effort here. The problem is that that's just... kind of the best that Conan can do. He looks like a six- or seven-year-old child. No one takes his concerns seriously. Kogoro consistently brushes Conan's feelings off as nothing to get riled up about:
Tumblr media
Kogoro: He's prolly off somewhere sniffing around for clues.
(Not that Kogoro would probably take Shinichi all that seriously if he looked like himself, either. But I'm sure he'd have an easier time overall.)
That said, I do recognize that Shinichi will absolutely act in risky, dangerous ways if it means protecting the people he cares about—or really, if it means protecting anyone. The way he runs across a burning bridge to save Ran from a murderer (Episode 132), or the lengths he goes to in order to shield Ai from the Black Organization when she's captured by Pisco (Episode 178), or, of course, how he helps rescue a known serial killer (Episode 288), all come to mind. That's just how Shinichi rolls.
Tumblr media
Shinichi: Do we need a reason [to save someone]?
But there's a key difference in each of those situations compared to the one in Episode 174: while Shinichi could have easily gotten himself killed in any one of those instances, there was also the high chance that his actions would benefit someone else.
I don't think that applies in 174. At least, not in the same way. Conan could have recklessly jumped on a life raft to try to find Heiji, sure, but that probably would have only jeopardized Conan himself and not have gotten him any closer to locating his friend. The cruise ship is noted to be going 30 knots when Heiji falls into the sea—the equivalent of 55.56 kilometers per hour. By the time that Conan could even get on a life raft, it's likely that Heiji would be so far off that there's no way Conan could find him without a motor, especially in the dark.
Not only that, he'd potentially be putting other people at risk by abandoning ship. Conan fears that Heiji had been knocked overboard by a murderer. That murderer could wind up hurting or killing others if Conan leaves as well; given that he's the one who eventually solves the case—and stops a bomb from detonating on the boat!—he's clearly the best detective left onboard and the one who's most capable of putting an end to the crimes.
I think Conan dedicates himself so thoroughly to the investigation because that's the best way to not only find Heiji but also protect everyone else, too. The case is important because if Conan cracks it and finds the murderer, he also finds what happened to his friend, if the worst had really come to pass and Heiji was attacked. He prevents further wrongdoing. And I think focusing on the case is exactly what Heiji would want Conan to do, if you consider his actions in The Last Wizard of the Century, where he begs Conan to catch Kid rather than help him when he's injured, to be true to his character:
Tumblr media
Heiji: W-what're you doin'?! Get going!
It's maybe also worth noting that Conan didn't have any solid proof that Heiji was thrown overboard, and he spends much of the episode trying to convince himself that it didn't happen. I get the sense that Shinichi feels that people like Heiji are so smart and clever that they can't be taken down by anyone (which also explains his whole predicament as Conan, as well as some of his behavior around Kid, since he nearly blows the guy up on more than one occasion but always trusts that Kid'll get out of it (Episodes 356 and 704, for a couple examples I know)).
And Conan's early reaction to Heiji's disappearance in 174 follows this line of thinking exactly. Nothing bad can happen to Heiji. He's the kind of guy who can get out of anything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Conan (internally): No way! Not him, of all people...
Conan: It can't be true... It can't!
And after this, though Conan does dedicate himself to solving the case—for Heiji's sake as well, as I see it—he also never stops thinking about Heiji and does continue his search on the boat. Near the end of the episode, he's shown still asking crew members about Heiji's whereabouts and requests that they examine everyone's rooms. He wants to be wrong about Heiji being lost in the sea and is in major denial that anything bad could have happened to him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Conan (internally): Where's he gone?!
Conan (internally): Where are you, Hattori? Why aren't you here?
To me, this isn't someone just shrugging their shoulders, figuring that their friend will probably wind up okay, and calmly solving a mystery in the meantime. This is someone who feels their partner's absence every moment that they're not there and who's doing all that they can to find them, desperately hoping that they weren't hurt.
I guess I did actually have quite a lot to say after all (no surprise there, probably!), but I'm a big fan of this case (at least in the anime). The art style stands out to me as one of the nicer-looking episodes, having a good balance of the roundness of the early seasons and the sharp angles of more modern Conan, and there's some fantastically fluid and expressive character animation, not to mention eye-catching shots. That scene where Conan and Heiji deliberate on the case and eventually find that they disagree? So aesthetic.
And, on that note, I do love this episode for Shinichi and Heiji. It's become so natural for them to fall into deducting with each other by this point, and their teamwork here is immensely memorable—I mean, they get a whole dang montage, with the main theme, as they investigate. How often does that happen? (Well, I guess I wouldn't know. I am like 600 episodes behind. But still!)
It's true that they're not totally in sync, of course; they do find that their conclusions don't match. But when they do, they don't insult each other or get angry. They just smile, think it's interesting, and strive to find out who's right! Super healthy—and sweet—way of handling it.
And, gosh. When they say in unison that the man claiming to be Saizo Kano is a fake, it's so adorable that it always makes me smile:
Tumblr media
Conan and Heiji: A fake!
But more than all that, the episode's just a really touching look at how much Heiji means to Shinichi, and Conan's reaction upon realizing that something's wrong is hugely emotional, at least to me. It gets so much focus, absolutely highlighting its importance, and Conan's desperation is depicted in such heartbreaking, devastating clarity.
That's just how I see it, though! I totally get feeling like Conan acts coldly here, deciding to solve a crime rather than actively search for Heiji, and I hope I didn't come off as too dismissive of that viewpoint in my writing. But to me, Conan's dedication to solving the crime is a dedication to finding his lost friend. And while he may not be sprinting across a bridge as it falls apart beneath him, or tranquilizing Gin of the Black Organization, there is still a risky I'll-put-my-life-on-the-line-to-save-others element to this decision, too. If Heiji got thrown overboard for his investigation, then there's a chance that Conan might as well, especially as he wanders around the ship all by himself searching for clues. But Conan goes through with it because he sees that as the best way to uncover what happened to Heiji and protect everyone else.
And, though they are just filler cases, Episodes 294-295 and 376 both feature a similar-ish situation, where one of Conan's loved ones goes missing, and his behavior is pretty consistent with this episode. It's confirmed to him in 294 that Ran was kidnapped, and she's kidnapped right in front of him in 376, but in each, Conan waits to gather facts and information before racing to find her. The cases do admittedly have more dramatic action rescues than what you get in 174, but I don't at all doubt that there would have been a dramatic action rescue in this episode, too, had it been needed.
In any case, as I see it, sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is something incredibly reckless. But other times, maybe it's best to wait first and try to fully understand the situation. I think that's exactly what Conan does in Episode 174, and while it might not be quite as startling a reaction as in other situations, it still means a lot to me. There's a palpable sense of loss without Heiji there, and Conan never gives up on trying to find him. I really felt like I understood how important Heiji is to Shinichi.
There are certainly episodes where I have problems with Shinichi's behavior towards Heiji, or vice versa, or both (Episode 263), but personally, this one does nothing but strengthen their bond. I can only see Conan's reaction as the reaction of someone who's lost someone extremely important to them, and it gets to me. So much.

Law Unto Themselves (5/??)
Summary: Heiji has to wait to find out whether the guns en-route to Osaka made it. Dark!AU where the good guys are the bad guys, and vice versa.
[Beginning]     [Previous Chapter]
They call him Kudo's dog.
Not that Hattori Heiji really minds what others call him, especially when they're just criminals awaiting prison time, but there's an element of annoyance that just makes him want to lash out. Instead of being a right hand man, he's likened to an animal, and frankly, Heiji doesn't want to prove them right.
The only one person who's opinion matters within the criminal underworld, is Kudo's.
And after that, in the every day world, there's only two additional opinions that hold any sway over him.
“Bam, bam!”
Heiji turns, from where he's leaning over the kitchen counter, pouring coffee into a mug. Kazuha's leaning against the door frame, clad in her pyjamas, gaze directed on the small toddler that bursts into the room. She's also wearing pyjamas – a onesie with multiple Disney princesses in the middle, each pulling various poses.
If he had to choose a favourite – and Heiji has, his daughter is a curious thing, constantly asking question after question now that she can talk – he'd have to choose Mulan. The princess is in the back, looking typically bad-ass and quietly waiting to fight if anyone needs her too. Heiji sympathises.
“Morning Chi,” Heiji says, glancing down at the girl. Her short brown hair is already tied back in pigtails, a routine she’s loved doing each morning with Kazuha since they'd bought her white bows for her second birthday.
“Bam, bam!” Hattori Chiyo's voice isn't loud, but it travels. It's shrill, excited, and she runs up to Heiji with her hands clasped together, her index and middle fingers stretched out in a pretend version of a gun. “Daddy's gonna take down all th' bad guys today!”
Heiji reaches down as she stops in front of her, to ruffle her hair. With his other hand, he picks up his coffee cup, sipping at the coffee to avoid commenting on bad guys and the fact that while he's taking many down, he can't exactly take them all down when he's a part of them.
He hums his approval instead. It's the closest thing to a lie he can give her. He may have to lie to Kazuha, sometimes, but he'd decided shortly after Chi was born that he'd never lie to her. At the time, he'd thought that would mean getting out, but now it means avoiding the subject.
Kazuha closes the kitchen door behind her. It's seems almost lighter with the door closed, now that light isn't being swallowed by the dark corridor between the staircase and the kitchen. It's not usually dark, but they don't tend to turn the light on during the early morning, relying instead on natural light from the rising sun.
“Tell Daddy where we're goin' today Chi,” Kazuha says, and she leans down, so she's practically face to face with their daughter. Chi turns towards her, scrunches her nose as she attempts to think about the question.
After a few seconds, she shakes her head.
Kazuha smiles. Lifting her arms, she cuts them through the air, acting out the breast stroke. Chi claps her hands together, stars on her sleeves shooting towards one another from the sudden movement.
“Swimmin'!” The two-year-old turns, glances up at Heiji. She moves both hands to her hips, mimicking the times she's seen Kazuha do the same, ordering Heiji to do something around the house. “Daddy's comin' too!”
Heiji raises an eyebrow. “Am I?”
He sips at his coffee and thinks about reasons why he can't, rather than reasons why he could.
Firstly – he does actually need to function as an adult, and if Chi even wants to go swimming in the first place, he needs to earn the money to pay for the session.
Secondly – There are bruises down his back, from the previous night, when he'd had to intervene with a fight outside the gun deal. He doesn't have a suitable explanation for that yet, meaning he needs to go to work to create one.
“Chi,” Kazuha says, and she leans forward to pick the toddler up, depositing her in her high chair. She leans forward to ensure she's strapped in, before shaking her head. “We're going swimming with Ran-chan today, not Daddy.”
They receive a pout. It would be cute, if it didn't send a slither of guilt down Heiji's spine. “I want to go swimmin' with Daddy.”
Heiji gulps down his coffee. Swimming really is a bad idea, especially if he's fucked up the deal because of his father, but almost wants to go despite it. He's got a free weekend from work – well, Friday and Saturday off – and he's pretty sure Kudo will understand if he asks for a break from their night-jobs for long enough to spend a weekend away.
“We'll do something this weekend,” Heiji promises, making eye contact with Kazuha. He's not sure what they'll do yet, or if he'll be able to take them out of Tokyo for a few days, but he's got time at least. “Just the three of us, okay Chi?”
Chi grins. As she nods her head, she kicks out with her feet, giggling as she says, 'yay, play time with Daddy!'
Heiji smiles back.
It takes him twenty minutes to drive to work.
Today, it takes him twenty-five, because he stops for coffee, ordering enough for both him and Kudo, before driving to the station. He's five minutes early for his shift, which means he's actually ten minutes late by his usual standards.
He's hoping to pile through whatever paperwork is lying on his desk by midday, and while ten minutes isn't exactly a lot of time to lose out on, he feels like his joints are tired enough that he needs them.
And with the impending case load of the task force soon to include Pisco... Heiji thinks he's going to need all the extra time he can get if he's going to lessen his case load before his days off. He wonders if he's still got any Ritalin left in his desk, wonders if he's worked his way through the prescription already.
He hopes he hasn't, because he really needs full focus for work today.
Opening the door to his car, he shimmies out with two coffees in his hand. He rests them on his roof as he closes his door, locking the car up. He's almost glad that he hears the footsteps coming up behind him, because else he'd jump at the sudden appearance of Sharon Vineyard beside him.
“Hattori-san,” She just seems to appear sometimes, and Heiji is glad he's not jumped while holding coffee like last time. He turns to glance at her, tries not to show his surprise. “Good morning.”
She's only been a inspector in division one for three years, which means Heiji's got more experience with murders. However, she's still his senior, mainly because she'd been working in Arson for years.
“Mornin' Vineyard-san,” Heiji says in response, the two of them walking towards the basement entrance of the precinct.  He doesn't really know what to say to the woman, she's always been mysterious in a way that's grown increasingly irritating.
“Did you hear about the fire?” She asks, raising an eyebrow when they reach the elevator. Division one is on the third floor, and three flights of stairs is too much effort at 7 a.m. “In Shimokitazawa. I was listening to it on the radio.”
“No,” Heiji shakes his head, although he vaguely recalls that Pisco had lived within that area, “I listen to my CDs in the car. Why, was it serious?”
Vineyard – Vermouth, as Kudo's named her – nods her head. She says, “Apparently the house belonged to Masayuma-san. You remember him from when you started working here, right? The police are already linking it to arson because of his ties to the police.”
Heiji lets his eyes widen. It's natural to feel surprised, although Heiji's mostly alarmed by the sudden police intervention. He supposes, however, that it's mainly Gin's influence that has set the police on the right track, due to Kudo's answering his call the night before.
“Was he inside?” He lets a certain element of horror fill his voice, mixing it was the familiar apathy police officers develop after working a magnitude of cases.
“He wasn't,” Vermouth says, pressing the button for the third floor, the doors closing on them. She turns to him, her lips pursued. She's not usually this talkative, especially not to him. Heiji supposes when he sits down at his desk, he'll have to think it over multiple times. “But no one can reach him either.”
Heiji decides that he needs to think his response over carefully. Quickly too, because Vermouth is quick, and as much as she can be mysterious, she's also good at solving mysteries too.
“Do you think the arson team will need to consult us on this...?”
Us meaning Division one.
Vermouth nods her head, “I think so, yes.”
By the time the elevator doors open, letting them both out, Heiji feels like even a knife wouldn't slice through the tension. It stagnates, neurons sending a message through his brain that everything with Pisco is only just beginning.
Kudo is sat at his desk when Heiji finally enters the division headquarters. They're not a high enough rank to have their own office, so they both have desks opposite each other. It's better than a cubicle, Heiji thinks, although he isn't sure he likes the constant noise.
The other detective looks up when Heiji appears, letting a smile form on his face. It's a genuine one, not one of his faked ones, and for a moment there is relief in his expression. Then, he spots the coffees in Heiji's hands and he lets out a groan.
“Hattori you're a life saver.”
Heiji passes him the coffee cup, before pulling his chair out from beneath the desk. It rolls – one of the tiny yet amusing element to his job is his wheeled chair – and Heiji almost collapses into his seat. He doesn't though, wants to look professional as he waits for Kudo to tell him about the verdict on last nights deal.
“It's just coffee,” Heiji says, and he turns his monitor on, preparing for work today. “It's not big deal.”
“Coffee is a big deal,” Kudo replies automatically. They've had this conversation so many times that at this point it's just part of their work routine. “I'm so tired it's unreal.”
“Yer just not big on mornin's,” Heiji responds, sipping at his own coffee as he waits for his computer to load. “You'll feel better in a hour or two.”
He receives a grunt. Heiji decides to take that as an acceptance that he's right about his not being a morning person. He's much more of a night owl, which shows in the fact that they carry out their shady dealings during the middle of the night, like a walking cliché.
“I suppose you're right,” Kudo says.
Heiji types his password into the computer, waits for his desktop to load. It doesn't take long; For once, the server seems like it's not going to have a cyber breakdown, is for once able to cope with the pressure of hundreds of logins at the beginning of the morning shift.
“I am.” Heiji says, and offers a small grin. Kudo raises an eyebrow, (exasperated maybe? But certainly not annoyed), before shaking his head. For a moment, the Osakan's smile slips, and he takes a moment to pause.
He pulls up his emails, the sheer amount sitting in his inbox surprising him. They're not all related to case work, some are email chains between detectives in other departments. Other's from his acquaintances in Osaka.
The words seem to blur together, and he opens the second drawer in his desk. He fishes out the Ritalin easily – it's on top of files and paperwork – unscrewing the lid. He washes two down with his coffee, before glancing back at his screen.
“Hattori,” Kudo's says after a while, stealing his attention before he can even focus it on the first email. “Let's get tempura for lunch today.”
Heiji grins. The deal must have gone well then, because whenever they go bad, Kudo doesn't take his lunch break any further than the vending machine. He has to suppress the sigh of relief that spreads through him, nodding instead.
“Tempura sounds great. Same place as last time?”
Kudo nods.
Then, he tears his gaze back to his own computer, reminding Heiji that he needs to actually start his work as well. It seems easier now, mainly because he doesn't need to worry about whether he'd lost Kudo millions of yen.
The first email opens a chain about gang activity in Shibuya. It's an ongoing investigation – not one he's working actively on, but he's been looking over it in the hopes he can help the team in Shibuya – including youth crime and increasing criminal activity.
That's what Heiji had thought this was to begin with. Youth crime. Nothing as big as the mess he's caught up in now. This situation he's slowly suffocating in, purely because he'd walked in on Kudo committing a crime and had been unwilling to report it.
Heiji supposes,  at the root of it all, that's why people call him Kudo's dog.
Crime isn't something he enjoys. It isn't something he revels in or profits from. It's just an side effect that comes with being Kudo's closest friend – he wonders if Kudo's realised it. How couldn't he? His... underlings have realised that the only reason he hasn't thrown the organisation behind bars is his loyalty to Kudo Shinichi.
It's why he's determined to get Kudo out of this mess innocent and alive.
Hattori Heiji's biggest flaw is his loyalty.
It's why he's the organisation's dog.

Detective Conan Rewatch: Episode 176-178
Episode 176-178: "Reunion with the Black Organization"
Before watching this episode, on a scale of 1-10, how much are you looking forward to seeing it again?
10! Duh! (July 21, 2020 -- We received a copyright strike for some reason, so this is a reupload with minimal screencaps to follow more under "fair use". I am planning on going forward with minimal caps from now on and also going back and removing others from previous posts to hopefully prevent further difficulties.)
Favorite screencap:
Tumblr media
"Peek-a-boo."
Favorite moment:
Tumblr media
The "Clark Kent" scene. :3 I'm not a Conan x Ai shipper (ShinRan all the way!) but it's nice to see Conan being kind to Haibara.
Least favorite moment:
Tumblr media
Shame on you, Aoyama! If you're going to do your research at least get it right! >O All you're doing now is making Shin'ichi look like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about!
The prototype name of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective Sherlock Holmes wasn't Shelling Ford; it was "Sherrinford Holmes". This is by far the biggest mistake I've picked out of DC thus far and while the spelling error isn't particularly important, it just IRKS ME SO BAD. :/ (That and the way there's a space between "Shelling" and "Ford" seems to imply "Shelling" was a given name and "Ford" was the family name, but even forgiving the Japanese "R" and "L" usual confusion it should still be "Shellingford" as one word, not two.)
What's one thing you noticed/realized about this episode that you hadn't before?
Tumblr media
As explained in the episodes, Gin drives a Porsche 356A. The 356 line was apparently the company's first production automobile. Huh. 21,045 Porsche 356As were produced between 1955-1959.
Tumblr media
o_o;; Izumi Shimura clearly must have something against Vermouth. Look at her nose!!
Tumblr media
Oh hey! It's...you! Person I don't think we have a name for. O_o;
Tumblr media
And Detective Kobayashi too!
Tumblr media
Right, so here's more canon connections implying that the antidote for APTX (be it Baijiu or Haibara's later temporary antidotes) requires the body's immune system to be weakened somehow. So far in all of the canon stories in DC every time Conan or Haibara revert back to Shin'ichi and Shiho they've been sick in some way. Movie 7 if I recall correctly continues this concept by having Conan force himself to get a cold (via an unusual pill from Haibara) before taking the antidote to go and save Kazuha.
Tumblr media
Oh wow. So I knew the parallels between Gin and Shin'ichi before, but I didn't realize how similar they were. Gin is clearly making deductions like Shin'ichi; he's extremely observant and can make connections. Gin even makes the same sort of "Heh" noise before telling Shiho how it was obvious he would be able to figure out she'd be coming out the chimney. Guess he really is this series' Moriarty. (And really really good at it. o_o;; )
Tumblr media
The "Cordelia" Shiho refers to is "Cordelia Gray", a fictional female detective that helped provide her "Ai Haibara" namesake.
Tumblr media
Judging from Pisco's reactions to seeing what APTX did to Shiho, it seems that the purpose of APTX 4869 truly wasn't to be a poison but rather something involving immortality or a fountain of youth of sorts.
Tumblr media
I think this is our first reference to "Anokata"? I might be wrong though.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate this episode?
This one should be obvious! 10!
Celebrate it!
Since I don't have access to a tablet and am too lazy to scan a drawing, have a (not exactly) summary haiku.
Gin confronts Shiho
Reunion with the Black Org.
But who is Pisco?
Next Episode: Episode 179
