Let him call, because again, Agasa was the one who set up this secret, he should be the one defending it. Again, the parent shows up out of the blue here, but I kinda wish they didn't. Because Shinichi's the protagonist, he has to deal with everything in the end, but I want Agasa to be confronted. Have him make up more lies. Bring in the parents slower, have them contact Kogoro to arrange for Conan to stay long term and work out payment. Ran asks about the parents and Kogoro is like 'oh it's fine, they're covering his stay', and Conan's going '...? ???????'. Agasa denies having anything to do with it on Yuusaku's orders. Conan frets about it for a while and they actually see how he'd react to potential unknown danger. And then spring the 'kidnap him' trap to fully show him what could possibly happen.

But I guess just 'kidnap him and potentially give him a heart attack to prove that death is a real possibility' without any setup or warning is fine, too, sure.

#ch 49 #vol 5 #I actually don't mind the kidnapping as much as many other people #But now I've made a more fleshed out scenario in my head that I'm sad isn't how this goes #But mostly I just want more acknowledgement that Shinichi never set up any of the identity drama #Agasa made up the story; he's the one who put secrecy in Shinichi's mind; and if there's any poking at the story; Agasa should be defending #Instead he just sits at home not having to deal with anything except occasional vents from Shinichi #And I guess fiddle with gadgets that might help #But really he was just 'oh you shrunk; well that sucks but no you're not staying with me; go with Ran'#Like; I know he justifies it with Ran's dad running an actual detective agency and thus can potentially get criminal info #But lbr; both of them knew that Kogoro wasn't going to get anything useful from where he was at the time #And even if he told Shinichi to increase Kogoro's reputation; there wasn't any planning on how to make that happen #Which almost got Shinichi killed /immediately/ after getting shoved onto Ran #Agasa doesn't even know about that near-death experience; and it would 100% be his fault tbh #Many times Shinichi was going to die would be because of Agasa insisting on secrecy and giving Shinichi the responsibility-#Wait; no; hold on; he might have not actually been trying to help Shinichi hunt for the org #He might have just shoved him into a place he was relatively certain would be safe #And told Shinichi he could just make Kogoro famous if he wanted to put the detective in a position to get info #/But he wasn't actually supposed to be able to do it - Shinichi wasn't supposed to succeed at doing that/#He was sent into hiding with a former cop; Agasa probably didn't realize he'd actually be in the fringes of BO activity #Or that Shinichi is just /that/ reckless when it came to crime solving #It was supposed to be a placebo while he and probably the parents tried to think about what to do #But Shinichi not only gets very close brushes with death on a regular basis #He can't even keep up the kid act with Ran and needs help #Agasa took his eyes off the teen child for two seconds and found that he started a bonfire of danger somehow #(Look at that; yes; I /can/ think myself in many circles to make almost anything justified)
