Guinea Pig

Fandom: Case closed/Detective Conan

Characters: Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama

Pairing: Heiji x Kazuha

I also posted it on AO3

Heiji and Kazuha stood in his partens’ garden. It was a warm evening, no clouds in the sky and a light breeze let the leaves rustle. His hands were sweaty and his heart was racing.

Heiji couldn’t believe it. He has just done it. Only a second ago.

He has confessed to Kazuha and nobody has interrupted him. They weren’t at a romantic place, no big words were said but he told her about his feelings. Yes. Finally!

How was this even possible? He was so shocked about this, that he didn’t notice how she frowned. Only when she started to walk in his direction, his attention came back on her.

Why… why was she looking so sad?

“No”, she finally said when she only stood a few inches away and looked right in his eyes.

He blinked.

“Huh?”

“No”, she repeated with a harsh voice, her eyes full of fury now.

What? Did something happen while he was confessing? He wouldn’t be surprised.

He looked around but couldn’t find a reason for her strange reaction.

So he asked: “What do you mean: no?”

“I’m not your guinea pig for your big love confession.”

He blinked again. Please what?

“Are you kidding me?”, he cried. This woman was… unbelievable.

“No, I’m not! I know, I’m like an older sister to you but…”

“Stop saying this!”

“Why?”

“Because it’s creepy. You’re not my sister and I don’t see you as one.”

“But we’re childhood friends. We grew up together and I’m the one who watches after you.”

“You don’t have to wa- no, that’s not the point.” He paused. This was too much.

Here they stood. Only a few inches away, face to face. Without a problem he could bend down and kisses her. Damn, he wished he could do it right now.

But what was she doing? Talking bullshit.

It really was pathetic.

“Why are you always so dense?!” This wasn’t what he wanted to say, but those were the first words which came into his mind.

“Dense? Who’s dense?” she asked and dug her finger into his chest.

“Do you know how much it hurts to be the love confession guinea pig for the guy you love yourself?” She stopped and jumped back. Definitely panicked by her own words.

And Heiji had to blink again.

Now she confessed back without realizing that he loved her too? Oh gosh. How bad could their communication be?

“Damn it!” He closed the gap between them, grabbed her by her shoulders and said: “This confession was for you, you dumbass!”

Her eyes grew wide and her face went all red.

“W-what?” she screamed in disbelief.

“But… but you said that you needed my help when you asked me to come over.”

Heiji sighed and let her go.

“Yes. Yes, I said that. And I meant it. But then you were standing in this garden, the sunset in your back and I thought: now or never.”

Now his face turned red but he kept eye contact.

“So, you do really love me?”

“Yeah!” Was this so hard to understand?

Kazuha’s eyes filled with tears and Heiji thought he said it out loud.

“Please … don’t cry. I di-”

“I won’t cry. I just can’t believe it. I was so sure you were in love with someone else.”

“Now you must be kidding me.”

He saw that her tears disappeared and she got angry.

“No. How should I know that you meant me when we were at the shrine? I even asked you and you didn’t say a word.”

“I had thought this was obvious but then you talked about this sister bullshit again and I didn’t know how to react.”

Well, that brought her up short.

Heiji waited a moment but she kept silent. Thank goodness.

“Well, you love me and I love you. Correct?”

Kazuha nodded.

“Will you be my girlfriend then?”

She nodded again but was still silent.

Heiji was unsure what he should do next. He was beyond happy of course but Kazuha only looked at him and didn’t say anything. He got nervous.

Finally he broke the silence and asked: “Maybe we should…”

“Do you want to kiss?”, she blurred out, her cheeks blushed.

Heiji's jaw dropped. Hell yes, he wanted to kiss her so badly. He has wanted to kiss her for so long.

He cleared his throat to calm down.

“If you wish.”

“Heiji!”

He smiled and bowed down to her.

Her lips were soft and a warm feeling grew in his stomach while she was wrapping her arms around his neck. It was a short but sweet first kiss and definitely the best moment of his life.

[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small]

[sakublogs]

Heizuhaweek 1

I read the other storys from @heizuhaevents Day 1 and kinda had the urge to reverse the 'who helps whom' thing. 👀 xD

So just a little thing:

oOo

"You're sidetracking again!" complained Kazuha as she squinted at Heiji's notepad, where he was writing - or rather should be writing - his art homework. Instead, there was another one of his sketches emblazoned there. She couldn't see what exactly he had drawn, though, because he quickly turned the notepad away from her.

"I'm not!" he claimed stubbornly. Kazuha narrowed her eyes. Had his cheeks turned slightly red, or was she just imagining it? Maybe it was from the heat, they'd been stuck in this stuffy room for far too long anyway. That was also the reason why she was getting so impatient.

"You're supposed to be analyzing the picture, not scribbling something." They could have been at the beach by now, jumping into the waves, but no, the dear gentleman just wasn't getting off the ground. Pretty ironic considering that he was usually the one urging them to finish their homework quickly so they could go somewhere. Heiji might be good at quite a few subjects, but art wasn't one of them, at least not the writing part. On the other hand, he was actually pretty good at drawing, but that was precisely the problem. He preferred to draw instead of getting the essay done.

"I am not doodling, and besides, it's not my fault that this assignment is so stupid," Heiji grumbled. "I have no idea what's so special about a few strokes on an otherwise white canvas." And just making something up went against his honor as a detective.

Kazuha rolled her eyes and settled down next to him to help him out a bit, otherwise they'd never be able to leave. "The horizontals and verticals bring stability to the image, while the diagonals add dynamism," she explained as Heiji hastily turned the pages. He must be really embarrassed by his scribbles, she thought. She would have liked to catch a glimpse of it.

Now, after only a blank sheet was visible, Heiji was back to his old self and wrinkled his nose. "You can really write that crap down for every picture. Why should we repeat ourselves a thousand times?"

"If this 'crap' is just repetitive, why don't you just write it down the same as last time and you'd finally be done?" retorted Kazuha. "I'm going to die in the heat!"

"I'm hurrying," Heiji growled. No talking back, at least; the heat had to be getting to him, too. Kazuha sighed and pushed the door open a bit.

"I'll get us some ice and then I'll help you." She too could think better with a cool head.

Since the whole thing wasn't an offer but just a communication about their next steps, Heiji didn't thank her, he didn't have to. They both kept it that way, and when he helped Kazuha with her math again, he didn't expect it from her either.

Indeed, the ice not only helped against the heat, but also soothed his nerves so that he was less reluctant to do the art assignment. Maybe it was Kazuha's proximity too, but all that mattered was that things were moving faster and soon they would finally be able to jump into cool water at the beach.

oOo

What do you think did he draw?

watermelon sunset

A little something for Heizuha Week over @heizuhaevents, for the prompts "Beach", "Watermelon", and "Sunset".

Read on AO3

--------------------------------------------------------

The summer holidays had just started, and since it was way too warm for anything else, Heiji and Kazuha had met up with Ran and Conan at the beach.

Now, Heiji and Conan were sitting in the sand, discussing something that Kazuha wouldn’t even pretend to be interested in.

She and Ran were standing at the waterline, the waves washing around their feet, but Kazuha couldn’t really enjoy it.

She had bought a new bikini just for this occasion, but it seemed like Heiji didn’t even notice.

A little frustrated, she sighed. Maybe it was stupid to think that he would say something, but in the past weeks, it had seemed like he would. But that was probably just wishful thinking after all.

“Hey!” Ran gently touched her arm. “Your bikini is really cute.”

It was an obvious attempt at trying to cheer her up, and Kazuha tried to smile.

“Thanks. At least someone noticed.”

To her surprise, Ran grinned.

“I don’t think I’m the only one who noticed.”

She inclined her head towards where Heiji and Conan were sitting, and when Kazuha looked over, Heiji looked away quickly, his face a little red.

Kazuha’s heart skipped a beat. Had he been watching her? But no, that was her wishful thinking again, wasn’t it?

“That… that doesn’t mean anything!”, she replied weakly, feeling her face heat up.

“Doesn’t it?” Ran’s grin turned sly. “You know, apparently the sunset is really beautiful from the hill up there. Why don’t you ask him to meet you there later?”

“What? I can’t do that!” She was sure that she was beet red by now. Just the thought of being so bold made her heart almost beat out of her chest.

Ran laughed. “Okay, fine, then I’ll ask if we all want to go, but unfortunately, Conan and I won’t make it.”

Kazuha nodded slowly. It might work. Of course there was a chance that Heiji would notice that it was a set up, but maybe he wouldn’t mind and even go along with it, so that they could spend some time together? Maybe he would even like the romantic atmosphere?

She tried to not get ahead of herself, but the more she thought about it, the more she liked Ran’s plan.

That evening, she was waiting on the hill just as planned, and just as nervous as she had expected. Of course she knew that Ran and Conan wouldn’t show up, but Heiji also wasn’t there yet.

What if he thought that watching the sunset was stupid? What if he wouldn’t show up at all and she had made a fool out of herself?

Just when she thought of giving up and heading back to their hotel, Heiji came into view, looking a little stressed.

“Hi, sorry I’m late!”

He handed her a pink take away cup with a matching pink straw, and Kazuha blinked, not sure what to make of this, but taking the cup reflexively.

“Huh?”

Heiji grinned. “It’s that new watermelon smoothie thing you wanted to try. You’ve been talking about it all day. The line was really long, so I hope it’s worth it.”

“Oh.” Kazuha looked at the cup again, and sure enough, it was from that shop she had seen online. “I didn’t think you were paying attention.”

“I always pay attention to you.” He said that quietly, like he wasn’t sure if he wanted her to hear that, not looking at her. He was definitely blushing, and her heart took an excited leap.

“Thank you.”

She took a sip of the drink, but in reality she didn’t even care if it tasted good. Heiji had gone out of his way to get it for her, and that was what made it special.

The sun started to set then, bathing everything in a golden light, and Kazuha was mesmerized. Ran had been right, this was amazing.

“Beautiful”, she whispered, not wanting to disturb the moment.

“Yeah”, Heiji agreed, and when she looked up at him, he was already looking at her, and the tenderness in his eyes took her breath away.

He reached out slowly, cupping her cheek, and she swallowed, suddenly nervous again.

“Can I?”

When she nodded, he leaned in and kissed her softly, and Kazuha was sure that her heart was going to burst from happiness. This was everything she had ever wished for and more, and it was finally coming true.

She wrapped her arms around him, watermelon drink completely forgotten, and he pulled her even closer, deepening the kiss. She made an embarrassing little noise at that, but it didn’t matter, not when Heiji was kissing her like this.

When he pulled back, he was grinning.

“You taste like watermelon.”

“Oh my God!” She hid her face in her hands, sure that she was blushing furiously again.

He took her into his arms, placing a soft kiss on her head.

“Sorry, was that too much?”

He sounded unsure now, and she couldn’t have that, couldn’t have him thinking that she regretted this.

She shook her head, face still hidden.

“Good.”

They just stood there for a moment, enjoying the realisation that their feelings weren’t one-sided after all, until Heiji noted “You dropped the drink.”

Kazuha stepped back a little to look at him. “And who’s fault is that?”

“Yours, for being so cute”, he replied smoothly, and before she could come up with an answer to that, he was kissing her again, and she forgot what she even wanted to complain about.

This was way better than any drink could ever be anyway.

Don’t Leave Me

This is for day 3 Heizuha Week @heizuhaevents 

She sat in the hotel lobby as she waited for Heiji to check in. It was their first trip together as a couple and after Heiji and Shinichi beat the Black Organization. 

She was excited to finally spend time with him, especially since she hasn’t seen him in months. For months she was worried sick, crying every night and every day. She would always wonder whether he’s okay or even alive, but now she can make sure he is because she’s never leaving his side. She doesn’t care if it’s clingy, after all these depressing and anxious months he’s not leaving her side, not even for a second. 

“Kazuha?” Heiji called her name, “Come on, I got the room key.” 

She got up and followed him to the elevator, then eventually their room. It was a beautiful room, or should she say suite. 

“Heiji?” Kazuha exclaimed, “I thought you booked us a normal room?!” 

“Well, I wanted it to be special for us, since you know…” He looked a bit shy, and Kazuha understood what he meant. The last time they’ve been romantic was when Heiji confessed before leaving for the Black Organization, they shared a kiss but that was it. Ever since he came back, he was in the hospital then court and they had no time to spend together. 

She knew that Heiji hated the fact that the confession wasn’t amazing and grand like he expected it to be, Heiji liked to be dramatic. But in Kazuha’s heart it was more than special. She didn’t care about the scenery, or the place, she only cared about him. 

She looked around the living room, it had a one big couch and two small others, and it had access to the big balcony that connected to their room. 

She went inside the room and blushed at the sight of the king sized bed. Heiji noticed her blush and said, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll sleep on the couch.” 

“Oh.” 

-.-

They walked towards their pool chairs and put their stuff right next to it. 

Kazuha didn’t miss the way Heiji’s eyes looked at her when she took off her summer dress. She can’t lie and say she didn’t enjoy it, the way he desired her. 

She grabbed her sunscreen and rubbed it all over her body to make sure she didn’t get burned on their first day here. 

“Heiji? Can you help me and apply the sunscreen on my back? I always get burned there because I can’t put sunscreen there.” 

“Uhh sure.” Heiji said, his ears red. 

Kazuha lied on her stomach on the pool chair, and to tease him a little she untied the string on her back. 

Heiji applied the sunscreen on her back, in a slow motion, almost like he didn’t want it to end. 

When he was done, he tied the string back and tapped her on the shoulder so that she would get up. 

“Thank you, Heiji.” Kazuha said with a smile. 

“N-no problem.” Heiji said as he was rubbing his neck. The fact that she could see a little redness on his cheeks despite his dark complexion was so cute to her. 

“Come on let’s go swimming.” Heiji said and held her hand. Now it was her turn to blush. 

He went down the ladder and into the swimming pool, pulling her towards him. She shivered a bit as the water was a bit cold compared to the weather. 

Heiji slowly started pulling her to the deep part of the swimming pool till they reached a point where Kazuha wasn’t able to reach the floor anymore and her entire body went underwater. Suddenly she couldn’t breathe, she was suffocating, she couldn’t see anything, she felt like she was dying. Just like when he left. 

Heiji pulled her up, and laughed at her. “Seriously Kazuha? Why didn’t you come up, Aho? Did you forget how to swim?”

“Kazuha?” 

Heiji was surprised to see her crying, he didn’t understand what just happened. He grabbed her face and made her look at him. 

“Kazuha what’s wrong? I was just joking I didn’t mean it.”

Kazuha didn’t know how to explain it. The feelings inside of her just wanted to make her explode. She didn’t want to talk, she wanted to feel him next to her, with her, alive and breathing. 

She put her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist and hugged him hard and started crying even harder. 

Heiji put his arms around her and hugged her even harder. He was worried sick, what just happened? What did he do wrong? 

“Heiji, p-please don’t leave me,” Kazuha cried out, “Please don’t leave like you did.” 

Heiji laid his head on her before kissing her head gently and said, “Never.”

[sakublogs]

My bae @rabbitsrants is back at it again. Honestly, I am trying to study and have a migraine from all the anxiety and stress and seeing a full blown analysis about my favourite couple from my favourite analyst is refreshing. I would like to expand on a few points: Justice: They are each other's moral compass: In volume 74 ( in the anime: The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency Ran closed the blind so that the perpetrator wouldn't die even though every one was at risk. I believe this shows her moral integrity because in the New York arc she felt guilt that she saved Rose from being injured even though she murdered someone else later on and she murdered Heath but she didn't hesitate to save the serial killer despite them killing other people and the logical answer to that is her "aversion to death" which translates to no life is more precious than the other no matter what they have done in life and what their morals are, everyone deserves a chance to life and to pay for their crimes. I guess this ties well with Eri who is a lawyer whose job is to take a case to trail with an unbiased and fresh prospective of the matter and believe who they are representing despite the world thinking otherwise and presenting their unbiased evidence in front of an unbiased jury who get to make their verdict so that both parties get to have a fair chance. After that she did say that Shinichi wouldn't allow anyone to die, meaning that even if everyone would have done otherwise she believes that Shinichi would have taken her side, regardless of his relationship with her.

I think a dolphin is a really good way to describe Ran but I think its also worth exploring the symbolism of her name: Ran as in orchids which signify love, beauty, refinement, many children, thoughtfulness and mature charm and I would like to explore the last one and how it applies to their relationship: Shinichi: His mature charm is that he has the mind of an older person due to his father's influence where she accompanied him to see murder scenes, the books that he read and lets not discredit his genetic composition cause I think that is often overlooked. His very academically smart and has a mind that is trained to put puzzle pieces together and understand the human mind. His own mind is quite complicated, his philosophy in life being intriguing. Ran: due to her self-sufficient nature and motherly care she had to mature quickly and take care of her father. She also takes care of Shinichi not only because she cares about him but also because she is inclined to do so because of his parents living abroad. A similarity between their parents is that they have loving and supportive families who would support their endeavours but more often than not they are being neglected, Ran due to her parent's separation and Shinichi due to his parents being abroad. They may not realise it but they both crave their parents' presence but don't ask for it which pushes them towards each other. Their Upbringing: I believe they have had similar upbringing ( because they are part of each other's upbringing) but the main difference is actually their wealth. He comes from a rich family which is supplied by his parent's career and his won success. He is so used to being complimented that before the Conan fiasco he doesn't have appreciation for what he has, rendering him cocky and Ran balances it out for she had to work hard for basics even though she isn't necessarily lacking she didn't grow up with the extensive wealth he has and from the first episode she keeps him grounded. Emotional support: I think a part of Ran that isn't acknowledged is her emotional strength and one part in particular: her tears which can be 2 sides of the same coin, the ability to cry and not to cry, Ran being the former and Shinichi the latter. Ran wears her heart on her sleeve and therefore readily reacts to tragedies around her no matter how many times she has seen it and Shinichi has the ability to comfort albeit teasing her about it. Shinichi is unable to cry, partially due to toxic masculinity and but also the fact that he has seen so much that he is desensitised to the point he doesn't cry or is able to control his tears and therefore isn't able to seek emotional support which is where Ran is emotionally supportive of him or shows his emotions on his behalf. ( If not her it's Heiji or Ai, but it would be her she turns to first out of instinct and he doesn't need to say it).

Sorry bae and yall for making you read this, I mostly waffled but oh well 😭

PROOF THAT SHINRAN IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN ROMANCES OF ALL TIME - PART 4

symbolism

disclaimer: gosho's imagery is subtle and therefore often overlooked, so in order to highlight it, i'll be referencing the work of suzanne collins, an author who tends to spell out her metaphors more

sharks

chapter 882-884

how the case begins:

how it progresses:

this isn't gosho's first time exploring the theme of sharks in the manga:

chapter 311

both shinichi and haibara relate to sharks, they're self-admittedly drawn to blood and darkness. but why?

haibara was born into it, she didn't have a choice... and even though she's no longer a part of the black organization, she still carries the past with her.

shinichi on the other hand? he seeks it out. he directly confronts it, because he wants to defeat it. his unfaltering idealism is what pushes him to be a shark.

ran is very idealistic too, which i talk about here. so why doesn't she act like a shark?

"Finnick knows then what Haymitch and I know. About Peeta. Being truly, deep-down better than the rest of us." - Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire Chapter 19

the closest that gosho comes to spelling it out like this, is haibara's line about ran "i'm up against dolphin, one of the most loveable creatures in the ocean"

ran's defined by more than her virtuous nature, she's also unbelievably compassionate and sensitive. that's what makes her a dolphin.

her unmatched kindness is constantly displayed throughout the whole manga.

sometimes it irks shinichi:

chapter 787

sometimes it hurts him:

but most of the time it baffles and touches him:

chapter 258

now i'm going to say something that might be controversial: from what i've gathered, shinichi doesn't just appreciate ran's tender heart... he depends on it.

and i'm not saying that lightly, i'm aware that ran's caring nature affects a lot of dcmk characters - it's the reason why vermouth calls her an angel, why haibara refers to her as a dolphin and sees her as a sister figure, hell, it's the reason why kogoro's able to function most of the time.

but i'd still argue that nobody relies on it the way shinichi does, which brings me to the next symbol i want to analyze:

cherry blossom

flowers can represent a variety of concepts, depending on your source and in what context you use them for your writing. the same rule applies to cherry blossoms.

gosho's used it as symbol for justice in the past:

chapter 687

it's interesting to look at it through that lense, but i don't think that's what the cherry blossom represents for shinichi.

after doing some research, i came to the realization that cherry blossoms are widely believed to symbolize hope and the beginning of spring.

i think that interpretation makes a lot more sense for shinran. especially if we examine their first interaction:

chapter 924

shinichi shows ran his deduction skills to impress her... ironically he ends up impressing everyone but her. shinichi's condescension leads to a full-blown argument:

but then something completely unexpected happens... despite the fact that they don't know each other, despite the fact that shinichi insults ran, despite the fact that ran's completely put off by his arrogance, despite all of that... she offers him a cherry blossom and along with it the kindest smile he's ever seen:

and i just can't help feeling like ran's cherry blossom is symbolically very similar to suzanne's dandelion:

"I found him staring at me  from across the school yard. Our eyes met for only a second, then he turned his head away. I dropped my gaze, embarrassed, and that’s when I saw it. The first dandelion of the  year. A bell went off in my head. I thought of the hours spent  in the woods with my father and I knew how we were going to  survive.  To this day, I can never shake the connection between this  boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope, and the  dandelion that reminded me that I was not doomed. And more  than once, I have turned in the school hallway and caught his  eyes trained on me, only to quickly flit away." - Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games Chapter 3

"What I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that." Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay Chapter 27

and clearly, only ran can give that to shinichi...

let me further elaborate by revisiting the shark analogy:

the most beautiful dolphin in the sea sees a shark like him, calls him out on his bluff and instead of avoiding him, she actually welcomes him. ran shows him genuine affection, despite having so many reasons not to. how could he not fall for her?

for someone like shinichi, a cool shark who's able to recognize other predators in the sea from such a young age, seeing the innocence and warmth of a dolphin is pivotal for him, because it reminds him that there's so much more to life than constantly familiarizing himself with other sharks (in his childhood by reading and later by investigating them)... there's good too.

to summarize... shinichi sees a delicate cherry blossom, a gentle dolphin and holds on to her for dear life. he desperately clings to the promise of hope and spring, he depends on her affection and warmth. he needs ran, because without her winter would never end, he'd never escape to coldness of the sea, he'd freeze.

which explains why

a) he's so protective of her

b) ran's smile serves as a compass for shinichi throughout the whole story - while his mind is busy chasing sharks, shinichi's soul is persistently searching for the same smile that strummed his heartstrings all these years ago. which is why he immediately notices when ran's not okay (even though she's very skilled at concealing her pain) and why he always tries to make her feel better

and that's ultimately why

a) shinichi's keeping his identity a secret

b) he's so focused on getting his old body back

without ran, shinichi wouldn't have a constant inner conflict as conan, without her, he'd lack purpose and as a result, detective conan would be empty and lifeless.

ran's not just a love interest y'all...

she's the heart of the entire manga.

I really love this perspective of Ran's kiss to Shinichi.

[sakublogs]

His last thought even before turning back is about Ran, the girl he wants to make unconditionally happy but keeps unintentionally hurting because of circumstances and bad luck. Also, does anyone think the shrinking motive is getting a bit old now, I wish Gosho could come up with something else

oh this is not okay

this is so so messed up what the fuck aoyama (chap.652-vol.62)

The Fact that Ran called Shinichi "Holmes" and Shinichi called Ran "Watson". I'm all 🥹💗

[sakublogs]

Hi guys, I agree with this post and I would like to add on my own commentary on this. There are many risks there are to taking the antidote this many times in such a short amount of time ( approximately 9 months). We also have to take into consideration that both the antidote and the actually are both on their experimental phases so we don’t know what impact it truly has on the body. So far it’s only been tested on few individuals and we are already seeing stark differences. For example Shinichi and Shiho shrunk so that they are physically 10 years younger to their primary school ages: from this we had 2 hypothesis: 1. the drug shrinks all the way to early elementary school age regardless of what age you are or it shrinks you 10 years relative to the age of the drug intake. Mary Sera didn't under any of those 2 categories as she was 53 and now she is approximately a middle school students age which is around 30+ years. Also, we have to take into consideration that Shinichi's body needs to adapt between him shrinking and becoming an adult. The fact that his system is fully functioning is actually incredible. I think that due to the continuous taking of the antidote, his metabolism is taking toll. I have seen in some fanfics the speculation that this may impact his fertility which is highly likely and his health long term if he does become an adult. We also have to take into consideration the fears of the show which is... will he develop drug resistance. Also, we have to explore the following question: What does the drug actually do? Does it neutralise the drug so to nullify the effect or was the drug made to counteract the effect of the drug so that the antidote doesn't interact with the APTX-4869 and just ages you 10 years. If the first option is true then it's the right drug just not strong enough. if it's the second option then it will selectively work, also is there a discrepancy between the age he returns to be and the age he is supposed to be because as the timeline goes on so does the characters age. For example, some people's faces and height don't change consistently with age due to genetics so is he actually physically 17/18 or younger or older?

I was rereading some of Detective Conan's manga and this part right here from Chapter 1110 has me concerned.

When this chapter first came out, I kinda skimmed through so I didn't notice at first, but now that I gave it a proper read, I'm worried for Shinchi. If he hasn't grown at all, even a little while stuck in his child form than that probably means.... he could very well be stuck in his child body for good unless a proper antidote is created.

What's even worse, Haibara clearly knows and she isn't saying anything to him. Another secret she's hiding from him and now it's become another reason for me to dislike her. She maybe stuck as child with him, but she doesn't face the same problems or issues about wanting to regain their true bodies and it seems clear to me that Haibara could very well be happy to stay this way. Unlike Shinchi, she has expressed no desire to regain her original body and why would she? She lost her family and never had any real attachments to her old life anyway.

Haibara could very well be content to stay in her new body for good even if she never grows up again, but it's not fair for her to keep this a secret from Shinchi. He wants his body and his life back. Although he's gained a lot in his life as Conan Edogawa, he has also missed out on so much as his life as Shinichi Kudo and more than anything, he wants his body back so he can finally be with Ran.

I can't imagine what his reaction will be when he realizes this and I'm sure I won't be prepared for what's to come when the shock hits him. It might be too much even for him to take.

The one thing that I love the most about these two confessions is how in character they are. Shinichi’s a detective, he’s prone to using words to make an impact and his confession’s very word-y and Ran’s a karate champion and she’s prone to using her body to make an impact and her confession’s in the form of an action, a kiss on the cheek.

Miss Mystery for theme and secret of my heart as ending

Ran is so underrated they not using her she is just there as female lead lately but she has so much chance to develop

I have no clue, the parents in dc are quite lacking to be honest but Agasa and Ran?(I can do a whole rant post about that and my opinion as what a parent figure is)

When he was teaching the criminal how to commit the crime right I died
