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.

Haibara: “If you haven’t noticed that yet, never forget. Gin is left-handed.

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 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.

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?”

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 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...

Episode 227: The Battle Game Trap (Part 2)

The murderer was the thirty-year old game reporter because his sister was going blind due to lack of vitamin A, because she had to work a lot, to pay off her boyfriend, Unemployed’s, debts. But really his disgusting gum wrapper cigarette needle trick was thwarted by a 100 yen coin with his fingerprint on it, because he was gripping it so tightly, as this would be the last game he ever played. None of that matters in the end though, when Jodie-sensei says goodbye to them, and says, “Bye Bye, Cool Guy….”

Episode 244: Mouri Kogorou's Imposter (Part 2)

To start off, we should probably describe the three suspects: There’s the ryokan owner (a man with glasses and a mustache), his assistant, who looks exactly like him except he has no glasses or mustache, and Jinbo. The newspaper was an extremely convoluted riddle that led to money that was buried in the woods next to the Jizou statue. Jinbo was the culprit. He spends twenty minutes of the episode denying that he’s the culprit, but in the end he just randomly gives up. The most compelling evidence against him was a footprint from his bare feet on a shogi board.

Episode 240: The Bullet Train Transport Case (Part 1)

Half of this episode is taken up by Ran and Shinichi having a stupid conversation over the phone while waiting for the Shinkansen. Kazuha says her goodbyes while running as fast as the Shinkansen leaving the station. While on the train, they find out that Takagi and Sato are transporting a drug dealer. Then a fake bomb is found in the bathroom, and the drug dealer has to go to the other bathroom. While in the bathroom, he stabs himself, but when Conan gets on the scene, he notices that nothing about it makes sense, like the jelly blood versus the drippy blood, and the backwards dagger versus the samurai dagger. So they realize it’s a murder case.

Episode 236: The Nanki-Shirahama Mystery Tour (Part 1)

Mouri, Ran, and Conan take a vacation to Nanki-Shirahama. It’s a really nice place, and a great majority of this episode is taken up with 'Travel to Japan' promotional videos of them walking around, seeing the sites, enjoying refreshments, and educating themselves at museums. Their relaxed vacation comes to an abrupt stop while they’re walking on the white sand beaches, and they meet 'medicine-art' students. There's Maki-san, who spends a thousand dollars on make-up a month. She has long red hair, purple lips and sunglasses, a mole, and a hat. Then there’s Madoka, the 'Madonna' of the group. She wants to collect some sand to bring home. There’s also Long Hair Snoot Face, who hates souvenirs, especially the one that Ran liked. Lastly there’s Computer Geek and Kanako, a woman with spiky brown hair who isn’t going to do favors for Maki anymore, even though she helped her through university math classes. They have this enormous argument right in front of Mouri within seconds of meeting him. Needless to say, Conan and his group vacate the premises as quickly as possible. However, Maki-san tracks them down later, as they’re watching the sunset, to encourage Mouri to go to a fish and drinking market in the morning, before he goes to Adventure Land. She takes the liberty to even provide precise instructions as to how to get there. Then she jumps in her car and zooms away. The next morning, they’re enjoying their day in the bright sunshine, when all of the sudden Conan goes into shock because he senses Anokata’s large blue eyes glaring at him from across the station. They continue on and go to a shop where Ran has to buy a smiley tomato, but Conan senses the eyes there too. Then they briefly see Maki-san, who bows to them before zooming off in her car again. Meanwhile, Conan chases Anokata who’s getting on a bus to Sandanbeki. They meet Computer Geek at Adventure Land after watching a walrus and orca show, where he gets a phone call from the Madonna, who tells him that Maki-san is dead with a knife in her chest. They tell her they’ll be there soon. Apparently she found the body because Maki’s cellphone was going off playing Beethoven, but she didn’t hear the murder taking place only moments before, because the waves were too loud. She also didn’t think to call the police or an ambulance after finding Maki-san because when they get there, she’s just sitting there, painting, a few meters from the body. When the police finally arrive, you meet two really nice detectives, who are thoroughly the most normal people in all of Detective Conan, and that includes the fact that one of them never opens his eyes.

Episode 234: The Evidence that Didn't Disappear (Part 2)

We’ve learned that Conan is a dog expert – not only understanding why they do the things they do but how they think, what their instincts are, and more. Professor Plum just wanted the diamond on Doyle’s collar, so he hid him in a speaker. He needed the diamond because he has a lot of abandoned dogs living in his house, which he can’t support. Dr. Agasa’s friend’s son lets him keep it anyway, for the dogs’ sake. He and Mrs. White are getting married. And Haibara finally snaps out of her depression.

Episode 231: The Mysterious Passenger (Part 2)

Conan deduces a way for them to get off the bus safely, while they’re travelling in a dark tunnel for three to four minutes. The hijackers plan to escape as the first three released hostages, by dressing up a couple passengers as them, and then blowing up the bus. Conan asks Jodie-sensei for some lipstick, which he uses to write a message for the driver on the bomb bag. When they exit the tunnel, he and the detective boys hold it up so that it can be reflected in the rearview mirror. It tells the driver to stop, and so the bus screeches and skids to its side, followed by Sato-san, who also screeches to a stop, and then reverses out of frame. There’s a lot of confusion at this time, beginning with Conan putting one of the hijackers to sleep, using his tranquilizer gun, much to Akai’s surprise. And Jodie-sensei deactivates one of the hijacker’s guns, and proceeds to tell him about it while sitting on top of him. She also tells him “A secret makes a woman, woman.” It’s then that the hijacker’s accomplice from the back, gum-chewing girl, who was giving them signals by popping her gum and then pulling it around on her face, realizes that she accidentally set the bomb timer on her watch. So they all run off the bus, except for Haibara who decides that this is the best way for her to die, and save everyone by getting rid of the one link between them and the black organization. Conan hurls a fire extinguisher through the front window, and flies out of the bus with Haibara in his arms, just as it explodes. In order to save her, he smears his own blood on her leg, so she can pretend to be injured and go to the hospital. In the end, Akai Shuichi makes contact with his boss. They got sidetracked, and the target didn’t show up.

Akai's Surprise ^^
