[kkangkkangie]

[kugisakiss]

if anyone was wondering how i was counting how many movies they appeared in, i made a little timeline when i was trying to figure it out for myself ↓

all dcmk movies are released on golden week which is in april. shout out to the detectiveconanworld wiki i couldn't have done it without you x

the real enemy is conan because he's got a perfect 100% movie spotlight

What do you think of D.C.'s M26, do you think it was just a fire of pairs for us Shinran?

SPOILERS FOR MOVIE 26

i think, in total there are two significant shinran moments worth talking about

i enjoy certain elements of the first scene:

ran impulsively goes after a member of the black organization and puts herself in danger because he poses a threat to haibara. their fight is AMAZING, i love how ran dominates pinga despite him attacking her with a knife

something similar happens in the manga as well (chapter 434), so the writing for ran absolutely tracks here

chianti sees the fight and interferes by attempting to shoot ran - shinichi barely manages to save her in time

here's the thing: i absolutely hate the writers for often reducing ran to a damsel in distress in these movies, that's an issue i'll further analyze in a bit

with that being said, i don't mind shinichi saving ran in this scene. it's an impactful shinran moment, cause so far the writing is similar to the manga

the only difference between chapter 434 and this movie is the fact that shinichi actually sees what's happening and is able to actively protect ran. i don't have a problem with that, because that's what shinichi and ran do - they protect each other.

what i love even more is how shinichi decidedly urges ran to stay put, i think that's also very in character for him:

he wants ran nowhere near the black organization, for very specific reasons that i'll get into another post

so far, this is a well executed scene, right? it's a very realistic, high-stakes moment that we'd expect from the manga. so far, so good, right? RIGHT?!

no. cause this is where the movie writers fuck up:

W H A T

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! SHE ACTUALLY STAYS?! AND WHEN SHIN TELLS HER TO RUN, SHE RUNS?! WHAT?!

this is is supposed be ran??? no fucking way.

my girl is the definition of reckless and stubborn. she's not just the type of person who'll enter a burning house to save a girl she barely knows (chapter 174), she's also the type of person who refuses to waste a single second when human lives are at stake. no matter how much shinichi begs her to stay away.

chapter 640

and she does this in chapter 822 on the mystery train as well: shinichi yells at the detective boys, sonoko and ran, he tells them not to leave their room, no matter what. and ran repeatedly attempts to go against his instructions because she's worried about haibara, despite receiving a text message that she's okay, btw. ran's intuition tells her that something is wrong with haibara, so she's gonna fucking look for haibara!!!

i need the movie writers to understand that my girl is absolutely unhinged. she cares about other people very deeply, to the point where she's incapable of watching from the sidelines as they potentially get hurt

so how would i have written this moment? what would've been a more realistic version of this scene?

shinichi and ran get into an intense fight: shin desperately urges ran to stay put, she refuses to listen. and then there'd be two possible outcomes:

a) ran continues to go after pinga and dies in the process (remember, ran was fully prepared to die for haibara in chapter 434)

b) shinichi realizes that he can't stop ran and offers her a safer way to help. ran accepts and they work together as a team to get haibara back

why didn't the movie writers go for this approach? my theory: they don't want ran to take a bigger role in these movies, so option b) was a no-go for them. obviously it'd make even less sense for them to kill off ran, but like i already explained, there's no way ran would just give up on haibara in that moment

so why include this moment at all? what's the point of starting such a strong scene if you're not gonna progress the plot?

the point is ran being a damsel in distress.

which brings me to the second shinran moment in this movie:

ran goes after pinga again and he kicks her off the balcony, she's about to fall and get hurt

kuroda ends up saving her and shinichi feels inadequate

..............

AGAIN, THERE'S NO PLOT PROGRESSION, THE ONLY POINT OF THIS SCENE IS TO MAKE HER LOOK WEAK

idk who this woman is but this ain't ran

HERE'S RAN FUCKING MOURI FOR Y'ALL

a woman who's consistently depicted as strong, fierce and very capable of protecting herself:

chapter 43

chapter 169

and that's not to say that shinichi doesn't worry about her sometimes, ofc he does:

chapter 493

but that doesn't take away from the fact that she's a fucking badass who can defend herself

and it's not just that she's capable of protecting herself, she protects shinichi too.

chapter 5

..........

it's like the movie writers read the manga, took note of moments where shinichi comes through for ran but completely forgot that it's mutual, they come through for each other:

chapter 389

chapter 1050

the movie staff doesn't get ran, they seem to have no idea how strong or caring she is and i hate how much it's hurting the fandom's perception of her

in conclusion:

Conan, you know how to do CPR, and That's not it. He immediately went for it, idc.

[ssaraexposs]

And they expect me to believe NOTHING happened between them, while both of them were working under the Black Organization?

This is how they flirt

[shinischis]

just rewatched movie 26 again AND WHEN I TELL YOU IM INSANE OVER HAIBARA AND CONAN IN THIS ONE

conan is so damn serious about keeping haibara safe even if it brings him face to face with the black org that could literally get him killed

and haibara wants to do the same damn thing when conan does something reckless for the one millionth time

agasa dropping to the floor when conan couldn't find or get haibara the first time, my heart, he cares about her so much

akai and furuya interaction, even though its just a little short part I love it, akai recognising furuya's voice right away ILL BITE SOMWTHING

ran is so protective over every single one of the kids, they way she jumps into danger right away when she realizes haibara got kidnapped, going face to face with a black org member to save her , I freaking love ran so much

I was seated when it was said that pinga said he knew conan was shinichi , and then he died and I was like, no one's gonna know anything at this rate THERES SO MUCH GOING ON

[harszion]

what do the people think of akam keychains.....

[coffeeviolinist]

I'm still dying at the fact that Conan called Pinga a dumb dollar-store Gin to his face.

I watched movie 26. I liked it a lot, tho i have to say i'm a bit dissapointed. I was expecting more of haibara content, but there was more conan than i felt was necessary, and i didn't like the weird kiss thing they were doing with him and ai, but that's just me really hating CoAi in general. Also ran and sherry talking would've been nice, although i don't think it could've fit in the movie. The interactions between naomi and sherry were interesting and it'd be cool to see more. I did like the bits about BO we got, and i think chianti is climbing up to my fave BO characters with vermouth and gin in there. I think my fave part was the little flashback/dream sherry had while knocked out. The animation was good, especially with face close-ups, but i do wish they'd turn down the sharpness tho lmao. Overall i think it was decent and i liked it, not the best thing ever, but would recommend.
