Episode 243: Mouri Kogorou's Imposter (Part 1)

An imposter arrives at a ryokan, claiming to be Mouri Kogorou, and is given a brown attaché case at the front desk, which he takes away, smiling smugly with his twirly mustache. Meanwhile the real Mouri is tripping over a Jizou statue while walking in the woods with Ran and Conan. Yamamura drives by in a van, and tells them a creepy story about a man found dead in the woods, with 'large black hair.' Even though he died in the summertime, he was wearing a red coat. Even though he had cigarettes, he didn’t have a lighter. And even though he had car keys, he didn’t have a driver’s license. But he apparently committed suicide four years ago after leaving an attaché case at a ryokan. So for the rest of the episode, any time Ran sees or hears about Large Black Hair, she screams. At the ryokan, they find the imposter dead in his closet, apparently also a suicide. Mouri takes charge of the case, opening the attaché case, and based on a newspaper from five years ago found inside, he deduces that the imposter and the red coat man made a bet about sumo wrestlers, and were both wrong, so they hanged themselves. Conan disagrees because there’s some wet hair inside the newspaper, meaning someone must have taken it from the ryokan bath drain.

Hey! Here at DTCCompendium we are in the process of watching and writing synopses of each detective Conan episode! Granted, its all in good fun, always poking fun, and we compose them in like five seconds right after watching! On account of being extremely shy and awkward, we haven’t really interacted much with anyone on tumblr, but we are eager to make more Detective Conan friends so we can discuss our favourite episodes, arcs, characters and headcanons!! Just popping in here to say hello if anyone is interested!

Do you know of ANYONE who reads/reacts/blogs about Detective Conan? I know about "dcrewatch" but he does the anime and is too brief. I wanna follow someone's blind journey and get all their opinions

Don’t know dude! If anyone knows of anyone please let us know :)

Episode 242: Boy Genta's Misfortune; Otherwise known as: Genta's Disaster.

Genta has been acting weird for the past few days. He doesn’t eat or talk to anybody, and when he goes home, he hides under a blanket, shivering. When asked about this, he claims it’s because he’s being stalked by a killer. The rest of the detective boys think he’s crazy until a giant R falls off of a movie theatre, and almost crushes him flat. After this incident, they talk things over at BS Burgers, where Genta recognizes a skeleton shirt from a shop called “Bones.” Conan realizes that the culprit wants to kill Genta because he could identify him to the police. So they decide to use Genta as bait, having him walk all over town, trying to remember where he saw the culprit. The completely contrived clues are ice cream on Genta’s face, which is like shaving cream, the French flag, which is like the twirly thing in front of barber shops, and Genta’s reflection, which is like the mirror he saw the culprit in. This results in the culprit confronting Genta with a knife in an elevator with two other people in it. Unfortunately for the culprit, the blonde girl in short shorts and a crop top is actually Sato-san, and she double-flip-kicks him to the floor. Her completely unnecessary wig falls off in the process.

Episode 241: The Bullet Train Transport Case (Part 2)

Three suspicious characters were witnessed walking through the train compartment, joined at the hip – Stonehead, Sweating, and Quackface. They also all had newspapers that somehow relayed the message “go to the bathroom” to the deceased criminal. Quackface killed the drug dealer in order to conceal the drug route. He stabbed him through a newspaper, so that he wouldn’t get blood on him. Conan realizes this when he finds part of the newspaper imprinted in the blood on the victim’s hand. Takagi takes down Quackface with an empty coffee can, knocking him forcefully to the ground, and then Sato jumps on him, pinning him to the floor.

Best Quotes:

Conan: (looking at the coffee can) “How could you say 'go to the bathroom' with this?

Episode 239: The Three K's of Osaka Case (Part 2)''

Conan has a baby fit meltdown because Ray Curtis is the murderer, and he doesn’t want him to be. But after shouting at Heiji about it, he finally confronts Ray Curtis. After a very long conversation, he kicks a soccer ball at his face, and discovers that Ray Curtis is no longer the great soccer player he once was. 'He deserves a red card for a loser.' Afterwards, they all go back to Heiji’s house, where Conan sulks until Heiji kicks a soccer ball at his head, and then he’s fine again.

Episode 238: The Three K's of Osaka Case (Part 1)

Heiji invites Mouri, Ran, and Conan to the opening of the Three K’s Restaurant in Osaka. The three K’s stand for the three famous athletes who are opening the restaurant: a boxer, a baseball pitcher, and Ray Curtis. Conan only goes because of Ray Curtis, who was a great soccer player, and Ran gets him to sign a jersey for Shinichi. Kazuha thinks that Heiji is having an affair because he keeps talking on the phone with Conan, and saying weird things like: “Have you been exposed yet? Are you alone?” Anyway, while they’re outside turning on hotel room lights to make a giant K on the building, somebody shoots a reporter who specializes in reporting scandals, and ruining athletes’ careers.

The Mother: “Oh, come on. How can it be so hot at a time like this? (Takes a sip of her juice)

Conan: “I see. That’s how it was done! I’ve found the definitive proof.”

Episode 221: The Client Full of Lies (Part 2)

The victim was killed with a bloody bokken. The culprit was his wife. She didn’t like that he was gambling and selling all of her things to pay off his debts, (particularly her speaker system). It’s also revealed that the beautiful lady is Shizuka, Heiji’s mother, which is VERY shocking to them for some reason. 

Best Quotes:

Officer: “Yokomizo-keiji! We found a bloody bokken!”

Yokomizo: “Miss, did your husband keep a bokken here?”

Wife: “Yes, it’s kept on that counter. My husband used to chase away salesmen.”

Episode 235: The Locked Wine Cellar

Mouri, for no reason, is at a wine tasting with a guy who is obsessed with himself, and three other losers: Glasses, Pinch-Face, and Long Hair Sommelier. Their host leaves for forty minutes to find his special wine bottle, but then he’s found dead in the wine cellar. His wife faints, but Conan doesn’t care. He’s more concerned about the position of the body. Conan almost kills Takagi by dropping him down a clothesline into a wine rack. This was apparently the method used by the culprit to move the body to the wine cellar. Glasses did it. He did it because the interest rate was too high on money he owed.

Best Quotes:

(Conan’s concern upon finding the body) “Why is he in such an abnormal position?”

Really stupid criminal, used his savings to promote the restaurant and keep the family busy, so he could dig under the house for jewels he hid there five years ago. The detective boys solve the case entirely on their own, as Conan sulks around because the criminal is too unintelligent for him. The criminal is very happy to be apprehended in the end. Case Closed.

Best Quotes:

Episode 229: The Murderous Pottery Class (Part 2)

We’ve learned two important things from this episode – Conan hyperventilates when he’s excited, and Ran keeps potato chips on her desk. We also have to add to Spiky Head’s appearance. His hair is somewhat between a grey Christmas tree and a porcupine. Anyway, he uses a necktie-pin-twist-locker-tape-apron-cloth that he wanted to cut up and flush down the toilet with his scissors. Megure is fooled by his set-up and is about to take away the assistant, when he and Takagi decide to reflect on how normally they would hear some strange noise, and Mouri would stop them. But they think it’ll be okay, because Mouri isn’t here this time. This is when Sonoko turns into a dinosaur cat hybrid to reveal the super convoluted trick. What gave it away was the fact that the culprit didn’t wear gloves, because he likes to feel things with his own hands. Therefore his fingerprints are on everything. Conan also critiques his methods and suggests that next time he should use a rope and gloves, so that he won’t leave clay nail marks all over the crime scene.

Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives

How can an entire house be made of gold? And then shed its skin at the end? .......Everything in Detective Conan is real. This two-hour special begins with a backstory about Kaito Kid stealing a clock tower. Then we get into the main story, in which Mouri receives a letter from the shadow child abandoned by God, and two million yen. This apparently translates to Kaito Kid because “shadow” means “phantom,” and "child" is from the bible and a baby goat. Anyway, it invites him to Sunset Manor, where five other famous detectives are gathered.

First they meet Monster. She’s standing in the middle of the road, and Mouri nearly runs her over. She’s an old lady who doesn’t like smoking, and solves cases from her armchair at home. Shortly after they arrive, Mogi-san appears with his baby. He tells Mouri not to touch his baby. Once inside, they meet Sleepy Maid with Freckles. She’s completely inconsequent, and was hired by a computer screen that said it would use her. (Does she even get paid?) Next there’s the cooking detective whose only skills are solving murders and cooking. Suddenly they see a weird stain on the door, and hear the “chi chi chi” of a spray bottle. There’s a woman who appears to be cleaning the banister, but as Hakuba explains from the top of the stairs, she’s using luminol to find blood stains. Hakuba is a teen detective who has lived in London for the past few years, but came back for this. He summons his hawk, Watson. Then they go to dinner with Purple Head Demon Eyes, and he explains that he’s called them there to solve the mystery of the house.

The house was built by Karasuma Renya, a dark shadowy figure with ravens. When people were celebrating his death at ninety-nine, two guys showed up at the house and gave everybody weed, and they all killed each other. But rumor has it that a treasure still exists somewhere in the house. Mogi has some issues the entire time, like ripping the mask off of Purple Head Demon Eyes, revealing a speaker forehead phone cassette tape. He also does a really realistic impression of somebody dying of cyanide poisoning just before the cook-tective actually dies in that way. Then they go check the cars, which have all been blown up, including Baby. And the bridge to the manor has also apparently been burned down. This leaves them stranded at the manor, until they realize that the maid’s car parked out back wasn’t destroyed. They toss coins to decide who will take the car to see if the bridge is really broken. It is. And then the maid’s car blows up into a fire-ball of flame and disappears into the chasm below, apparently taking Monster away with it.

Meanwhile, back at the house, Luminol Lady is knocking out Ran and the maid in the bathroom. She leaves, smiling maniacally, only to walk into Hakuba, who’s pointing a gun at her. He accuses her of not wanting to be near the exploding maid’s car, and therefore is the murderer. Then she shoots him. (Don’t worry. It’s just ketchup, which apparently looks real on a CCTV camera.) Mouri and Mogi return, and find Hakuba “dead.” Then they run upstairs to the office where they find Luminol Lady poisoned by a needle that came out of the doorknob. So then Mogi points his gun at Mouri, saying he must be the culprit because it’s only them left. He shoots him with ketchup, and then lights a cigarette, and fakes his death through cyanide poisoning. (Remember, he’s really good at it.)

Conan then takes the opportunity to send a very cryptic message to the culprit. He tells them to come to the entry and face him. It is then that you see the culprit as Anokata, in a dark room, surrounded by TV screens, from which he can watch the entire house. He then leaves via the trap door, dropping like a ninja into the hallway, and running to the front entry, where Conan is waiting for him…..or her. Because the point of faking all these ketchup deaths was to lure out Monster.

Monster wants to find the treasure in the house, which her father could never find, because he was killed during the Karasuma Renya incident. Conan does some fancy riddle solving, involving a bloody piano, playing cards, and breaking a clock. The clock is pure gold, and as it falls to the floor, it causes a chain reaction, in which the house begins to shed its exoskeleton, revealing its true golden form. Watson summoned a helicopter, saving them all from the golden mountain villa of death. But it’s not over, for as they are flying over the mountains, suddenly Monster shoves open the door of the helicopter and hops out. She is followed by Mouri, who opens up his hang glider to save her, because he’s actually Kaito Kid in disguise. Thus ends the Gathering of the Detectives. Side note: Heiji was supposed to attend, but he couldn’t make it because his mother called and said he had exams. 

Best Quotes:

Mogi: “It took me five years to earn my baby.”

Episode 218: Megure's Sealed Secret (Part 2)

Megure’s wife was a delinquent in the past. She despised the police and insisted on being a decoy. That’s his sealed secret. Anyway, Sonoko has to go to the car to put something away, so she borrows Mouri’s keys, and due to a bad driver parking too close to the passenger side, she has to enter on the driver’s side. This turns out to be deadly because she is then followed by the psycho-battered-baseball-bat-bearing-platform-boot-bludgeoner, whose son was hit by a car and died because the woman was wearing the wrong kind of footwear for driving, so braking took longer. This causes him to chase Sonoko all over the department store in the dark, smashing things. Sato thinks that the smashing sound is from a fish tank in a pet store, but Megure knows better. He knows that it’s Go stones. He arrives just in time to be hit in the head, saving Sonoko, but reopening his old wound that he hides beneath his hat, from when his wife was a delinquent. The culprit, who was the security guard at the department store, cries glow-in-the-dark glue tears when he’s told that Sonoko is just a high schooler, and not a “platform boot-wearing demon.”

Best Quotes:

Culprit (the motive): “I just wanted that woman to apologize…..to wear proper shoes, and apologize to my son in heaven.”

Episode 233: The Evidence that Didn't Disappear (Part 1)

Dr. Agasa’s friend’s son invites everyone over to his house to take stuff, because his job is forcing him to move to England. His whole family is obsessed with dogs and mystery authors. Other people invited to take stuff are three dog breeders: Professor Plum, Mrs. White, and Miss Scarlett, who says all she wants is a really ugly vase, and she’s going to take whatever she wants. While they’re there, they meet three dogs: Arthur, Christie, and Doyle. Arthur likes Christie, but if they had babies, they’d be worthless. And there was also another dog, Conan, who died. While they’re there, Doyle goes missing. At first they think he’s been incinerated, but Conan deduces that he’s hidden somewhere in the house. Then they go on a long search, and find a mysterious third blue cushion. Also Haibara spends the entire episode making morbid, frightening remarks about everything because she’s been sulking about the bus hijacking case. She especially frightens everybody when she goes on a minute-long tirade about Marie Antoinette’s dog, Thisbe, who drowned himself in a river after she was executed. This causes Agasa’s friend’s son to say, “She’s a strange girl, isn’t she?” Anyway, Conan tells her to relax, because apparently, as a detective, he can sense the Black Organization’s blood-thirst, but this is a complete lie, because we all know that he accuses any person dressed in black as being one of ��them.”

Episode 232: The Falling from the Condo Case

An evil drug salesman is killed by Araide-sensei’s evil twin. The victim died because he thought a flower salesman was trying to kill him, and ran to use his balcony escape trick, in which he hops ten feet to the next building’s rooftop. Instead he slipped over the edge, and his sandal grew wings and flew to the other building. The moral of the story is: Don’t sell drugs, even if you need money to pay off bad investments, and don’t steal them from your university. And if you want to get away with murder, don’t check your watch constantly, and make suspicious phone calls, and don’t be the only suspect, and don’t sweat because you’ve just moved furniture around.

#7 in the Couples Series: Mouri and Eri!

This one might be a bit controversial since technically they've split up, but, like Ran, I like to believe that with the right circumstances and efforts they could rekindle the flame because I think they both still love each other the most. Mouri is flighty, but deep down I think Eri is always his number one. So, here they are getting along and sharing the paper.

I had a lot of fun coming up with headlines for Beika. Azusa submitted the Cafe Poirot ad...

Also, here's a close up of the paper. Just ignore my scribble scrabble blob hands...
