post dgs2-2 comments/thoughts/theories (with some spoilers for what I believe is 2-3 or 2-4 at the latest)

first of all, the third part of the case kind of dragged for me bc by that point I'd basically figured the whole thing out already. however, it was EXTREMELY vindicating for me to get the fact that natsume was basically getting gas poisoned every night bc I made a joke after he said a guy was trying to kill him every night. Wrong! carbon monoxide poisoning.

secondly. wow it is really surprising to me that the masked disciple hasn't shown up yet I thought THAT was why sherlock/yuujin were trying to hide the case and I know he was in jp promo material ages ago so ?? assuming that's 2-3 just from the name of that case.

third:

it's not a huge level of vindication because I caught it from the flavor text that this would be important but still. Vindication.

fourthly:

a) i thought this was a human pet collar before i thought it was a belt.

b) this obviously fucking belongs to the van zieks family so I'm starting to get an inkling for why barok is...like that. which leads me to my next thing.

5. i don't know anything about the actual case of 2-4, but I DO know that it's called 'twisted karma and his last bow.' i don't fully know if the karma there is supposed to be the "his" in that sentence, but I do know one very specific thing that has been hammered home to me. the asougi family sword is the Karuma. im assuming what happened is that someone on the asougi side (not kazuma obviously but someone else) is the reason for barok hating japanese people...perhaps because one of them was his friend when he was younger and then said friend killed his (dad/older brother/insert important guy here). at the very least, I'm 80% sure that, if "karma" is not referring to a person, it ABSOLUTELY is referring to the sword, or they wouldn't make such a big deal about what the sword is called so much

6. which prompts the question...why the fuck would yuujin and sherlock not want that information to get out? i don't have a good idea on why not yet, but I definitely think that they're aware of barok's tragic backstory - especially sherlock, their court interactions proved that enough to me - but I don't have a good idea. the best that I have is that van zieks and sherlock know each other, and that watson and yuujin knew each other from when yuujin studied abroad, and then the 4 of them ended up knowing each other through sherlock and watson.

7. this doesn't help me at all with figuring out the bigger conspiracy w kazuma/gregson/watson/whoever A. Shin is yet, but I can't help but think it is at least tangentially relayed to the von zieks emblem belt....

8. Lighthearted note to end on. I think this guy is gonna come back again bc WHY DO YOU HAVE A FUCKING KNIFE
