shipping in shounen manga/anime: detective conan

From an article about shipping in the shounen genre in the German yaoi/yuri manga magazine “dokidoki” (No. 4, 1/2018, p. 27):

So we see that the problem is not the female characters, for these are often very well written. The problem rather is the abrupt way in which the male main character and the female lead get together, especially in comparison with the friendships he has to his male friends and how slowly and deeply these develop until they are very close in the end. If a lot of mangaka managed to elicit the same depth for their hetero ships, their popularity would surely increase tremendously. This is what makes you wonder why it seems so difficult for many shounen stories to ascribe a beautiful plot to a romantic relationship. It often seems forced, much to the chagrin of those lovingly designed characters. Luckily you cannot colour everyone with the same brush, for there are series granting their main characters marvellous romances, such as [Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail].

This is exactly what I was lamenting about Detective Conan on Discord a while ago. Of course the setting is a bit different because Gosho Aoyama always uses the “childhood friends to lovers” trope, but still… There’s so little character development with respect to ShinRan (Shinichi x Ran), for example. They’ve basically been almost together since Chapter 1, so it’s barely a spoiler to say they officially get together after “a mere” 1000 chapters. It’s just … yeah, everyone expected that and, if we’re completely honest, after a lot less than 1000 chapters.

Still, Shinichi always seems to forget about Ran during a case. Both her and (to a lesser extent) Kazuha are kept out of Shinichi and Heiji’s detective work. Most of the time, the boys just dash off and forget about the girls, only to remember them in case they get in danger. Technically, both of them are “strong female characters”, what with Ran’s karate and Kazuha’s aikido powers. From the perspective of the boys, they still remain girls in need of “protection”, most of all.

Both Ran and Kazuha are complex and interesting characters and I like them a lot, but, sadly, their romances with Shinichi and Heiji are neither complex nor interesting to me. Of course they deserve their boys—the question rather is if the boys always deserve them, but that’s ultimately something Ran and Kazuha have to decide for themselves.

However, that’s exactly why CoAi (Conan x Ai/Shinichi x Shiho) and, only recently, HeiShin (Heiji x Shinichi) and KazuRan (Kazuha x Ran) have become more interesting to me as ships: Shiho/Ai is cunning and intelligent. She isn’t the “detective type” herself, but, as a scientist, definitely on a par with Shinichi/Conan in terms of intelligence … and in terms of sarcasm/irony. I think the last bit is what really got me. Also, there are several hints in the series pointing towards her having a crush on Shinichi. The same—being an intellectual match for Shinichi, plus being sportive (football/soccer vs. kendo), plus hints in the series that can be interpreted as romantic attraction towards Shinichi—is true for Heiji as well, and Kazuha and Ran also have their moments (I might make separate posts for each pairing sometime).

That does not mean I’d disapprove of either ShinRan or HeiZuha (Heiji x Kazuha). I’m good with them. But I’m a polyshipper and a multishipper, and there’s the concept of polyamory. That’s why, in my opinion, neither of these ships (need to) clash with one another. Of course there’s the thing that all Detective Conan characters are pretty jealous/possessive of their (intended) s/o’s, but I think they’d be able to mature and overcome that with time.

What I criticise about ShinRan and HeiZuha aren’t so much the ships but rather the way in which gender roles in Japanese society are depicted/understood by a Japanese manga artist in his mid-fifties: The girls have too less agency, in my opinion. Actually, most of the grown-up women in the series have, at least to some extent, retired from their jobs when they married their husbands (as is still pretty common in Japanese society). This is true for Chikage Kuroba who retired as Phantom Lady when she met Kaito’s father Toichi, the old Kaitou Kid, and it’s also true for Yukiko Kudo who retired from acting when she married Shinichi’s father Yusaku. I sometimes get the impression the only actual “modern woman” in the whole series of Detective Conan is Eri Kisaki, intelligent and successful lawyer who (interestingly) has decided to move out from her sluggish husband Kogoro.

Nazi/Fascist Imagery/Fascist Empires:

Absolute Obedience - This yaoi game is set in Germany and uses a lot of fascist militaristic imagery (also rape) but the exact historical period is unclear (it has the Berlin wall in it, for example,) and is visually all over the place.

Akatsuki Blitzkampf - Japanese Dōjin fighter which uses a lot of fascist militaristic imagery and is clearly inspired by the Axis and Allies of WW2.

Battalion Wars - The Xylvanians are based on the WW1 era German Empire rather than Nazi Germany.

Bully aka Canis Canem Edit - During the Halloween section Gary’s costume is clearly a Nazi Officer uniform, but without any insignia

The Darkness - Apparently features Nazi imagery in a bonus comic which came with the game.

Killzone Fracnhise - The Hellghast are obviously based on a mixture of Nazi and Stalinist sources.

Lusternia - This MUD has a fascist empire called the Empire of Magnagora.

Maken X - Apparently the Japanese features Nazi imagery but was censored for American release (not sure if this was deliberate or not in context, given the use of the manji symbol in Japanese culture and religion, but the game also apparently features a boss fight against the Pope, so maybe it was).

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy - The Movement brainwashes people and has a uniform with red arm bands and jackboots.

Resident Evil Franchise - Almost every antagonist movement in the series has some element of fascism to it, from wanting to “improve” humanity through genetic therapy, to killing off everyone who is not “worthy”, to experimenting bioweapons on African villagers.

Valkyria Chronicles - Has an evil empire which is a mashup of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Bazooka Bill - Is set during WW2 but all the enemies appear to be ninjas instead of German officers.

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures - Unlike the films it’s based on, and most of the licensed games, the LEGO game contains no references to Nazis or Nazi imagery. Characters who were Nazis in the originals are referred to as “Enemies” in game instead.

Mass Effect - The Cerberus group is a “humans first” organisation in their first appearance but their portrayal over the three games is inconsistent.

The Secrets of Atlantis: The Sacred Legacy - Set in 1937 but omits direct references to Nazis and swastikas even though the Hindenburg is a location.
