#Shounen Tanteidan

[ghostscrown]

No because am I really the only BSD fan who gets the Shounen Tanteidan references. Am I the only one who gets that the ADA is basically the Boy Detectives Club. Am I the only one who gets that Fukuzawa is basically Akechi and Fukuchi is basically Twenty-Faces. Am I the only one who gets that it's "thanks to Ranpo that the ADA exists" because the real Edogawa Ranpo wrote Shounen Tanteidan. Why is no one ever talking about that. Am I crazy. Why am I the only one to get the reference when so many animes are inspired by Shounen Tanteidan. Isn't that common knowledge. Or are just all of these other animes too niche, the references in the popular ones too subtle. But even if it's the case, the Shounen Tanteidan book is still famous, right. RIGHT. AND THE BSD FANDOM LIKES TO READ THE BOOKS WRITTEN BY THE IRL AUTHORS RIGHT. OR ARE THEY READING ONLY "NO LONGER HUMAN" AND NOT THE OTHERS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND

#I started this with the best intentions and then it got a bit silly #but seriously I hate when fics basically drop the shounen tantei once hes big #there were a HUGE part of his conan life #when you go through all that trauma and stuff it bonds you #he. fucking. loves. those. kids #he's learned to love and appreciate them as they are (via redrobin-detective)

So in every version of post-Black Org Detective Conan when Conan is Shinichi again, I see the Detective Boys kind of moved to the side as he goes back to his “real life”. The better versions have him visit and serve as a mentor but that’s not enough for me. Shinichi went through some shit with those kids and is forever bonded with them. That boy has not only taken it upon himself to be their third parent but genuinely likes them.

When Shinichi is big again, I want him to gather his kids together and be like “hey guys, I was actually Conan the whole time due to some weird drug so I won’t be in class anymore but we’re still best friends but its gotta be a secret.” He knows those kids, he trusts them to keep quiet. And so life continues on but Shinichi carves out time to be with his elementary school friends. He continues to teach them the art of detection, solves cases with them sometimes (still doing his best to shield them as best he can) and just generally hang out. 

People see him with a gaggle of second graders like “:/ dude sorry you have have to babysit” and Shinichi’s like “bitch I am having the time of my life hanging with my buds. They pulled me out of a cave when I had a bullet in my gut, what have you done for me lately, you scalloped potato? Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re marathoning Kamen Yaiba.” And all of them put on their matching Gucci sunglasses and peace out.

Being a Bungou Stray Dogs fan AND a Trickster : Edogawa Ranpo "Sounen Tanteidan" Yori fan is so wild because like. I understood both all of the references to the original Shounen Tanteidan in BSD, and the similarities that weren't necessarily in Shounen Tanteidan in the first place, since I watched Trickster first – maybe, I don't remember which one I watched first tbh (super powers detectives agency, guy who fails to kill himself again and again, literal Edogawa Ranpo, ykwim). But BSD season 5 ? The SECOND Fukuchi said "they call me the man of a Hundred Faces" I immediately knew where this was going, I was like "how THE HELL didn't I understand sooner this guy was the BSD equivalent of Twenty Faces when I knew Fukuzawa is literally the equivalent of Akechi Kogoro" ???

This was so insane from my POV you have no idea, the parallels in my mind when Fukuchi tried to manipulate Akutagawa (just like Twenty Faces tried to manipulate Hanasaki), the war flashbacks with Fukuchi and Fukuzawa (just like Twenty Faces and Akechi) when Atsushi was trying to talk to manipulated-vampire Akutagawa (just like Kobayashi talking to manipulated Hanasaki) the twisted motivations of Fukuchi (just like Twenty Faces), EVERYTHING. I was insane watching this season, this was not the same but so similar it feels like parallel universes istg, and no one is talking about this since Trickster is like completely unknown to everyone except a few people

(And that's another Twenty Faces anime guy to add to the list ig)

You know what, I'm gonna say it. Trickster is objectively speaking mediocre at best, but the way they handled Kobayashi's powers in the epilogue was amazing.

His powers didn't disappear. Whether he wore shoes because he had to (the barrier growing weaker) or wanted to, he was facing forward, he had hope for the future. He found a place to belong, a purpose in life, a boyfriend and friends, and he was happy.

And despite all that, he still wanted to die.

His powers didn't just disappear completely. And like, of course they wouldn't, but it's so rare to see media actually show that. From what I've seen, if a character's suicidal tendencies are relevant to the plot, they'll either forget about it completely once their journey is over, die, or the story ends before anything is resolved and leaves it up to interpretation what happens next.

But Kobayashi? After everything that happened, his powers were still there. And it would have been so easy to drop this detail, to show that Kobayashi's powers are gone or even just leave it open, but they didn't.

I've seen many people complain about the ending of Trickster, but actually I think it's one of the best things in the whole anime.

Yoshihiro Togashi 10 comic strips

H☆S Award: Yoshihiro Togashi's Advice

I gathered Togashi's ten "4-koma" that he drew during the Yu Yu Hakusho serialization in a single post.

The Hop Step Award - H☆S was the Weekly Shounen Jump newcomer manga award aimed at young up-and-coming manga artists. In 1987, Togashi won the 24th H☆S Award Honorable Mention for his work "Jura no Mizuki". Togashi was also one of the judges of Eiichiro Oda's H☆S Award in 1993.

1991

In 1991, during the Four Holy Beasts and Rescue Yukina's Arcs, Togashi drew those five 4-koma to give the H☆S Award participants some advice on how to become a manga artist. He talked about his first works and awards he got, before creating Yu Yu Hakusho.

1992

In 1992, during the Dark Tournament Arc, Togashi drew more five 4-koma to give the H☆S participants advice on creating manga. He used as plot the five opposing teams of Team Urameshi: Rokuyukai, Dr. Ichigaki, Mashoutsukai, Uraotogi and Toguro.

The "Alien N" mentioned in these comic strips is a manga lover from Tenteke Star who lives in Togashi's head. He wrote about him in the Yu Yu Hakusho comics volumes 8 and 9 (scans in this post).
