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

who in the m26 storyboard, sound engineering and score team did this scene so i can give them all my lifesavings. who

[keykidpilipili]

I have finally watched Detco movie 26 and I understand why it was so well received. I think it might have dethroned Raven Chaser as my favourite detco movie or it's very close to.

We will never get another raven chaser with how involved the intelligence agencies are now but they balanced them with the rest of the cast better. Speaking of movie 13, the kidnapping sequence felt like that cold open nightmare coming true except it didn't have a body count.

KIR WAS THE TRULY THE MVP SIDECHARACTER OF THE MOVIE ALONSIDE DR AGASA AND RAN! I love how hard this CIA spy tries to do good in small ways she can.

Korn's distraction to make the target come out of hiding was also really smart to me.

Dear BO members, don't let ran see your face.

[itssagaruu]

Hello, it's your dcmk secret santa here! Hope your holidays went well ^_^ Seeing as you put movie 26 in the prompts, what were some of your favorite moments?

Hi hi heyyoo!! my holiday is great, I get to work on many things that I don't usually have time to do on school days! it's fun~~ I hope your holiday's is great too!

MOVIE 26 SPOILER ALERT!!

my favorite moments in m26 are when conan lighted up the ocean with fireworks! I really love the dynamic that goes behind that plan. How amuro give out information willingly to conan and how akai even joked that his rifle won't do anything against a submarine but fell flat because conan can't catch it!!

but then akai still come out bcs conan asked him to and brought bazooka, I just love how these three worked so well together and their dynamic is so wholesome! I love this idea of found family where akai and amuro just adopt this lil gremlin as their lil brother and goes along to his every whims~~

thank you for asking, dear mysterious giver! I look forward to your gift!!

M26 spoilers

Professor Agasa is so cute

Genta is a mood

Ofc the wife knows

I'm kind of sad that Conan didn't get to see that beautiful whale spectacle along with the rest of them

[privateeye-cj]

Somewhere, a professor of physics is crying. Even worse than with the older dc movies.

Professor Agasa called him Shinichi practically in Ran's hearing. That bird is flown.

And in the German dub, after kissing Ran, Ai thinks at Shinichi that she gave his kiss back where it belongs. Which, ... what?

(Guys, first of all: CPR and kissing are totally different things. Second, no. Kiss the girl because you want to kiss her or not at all. No passing on of kisses. Third: you called her "sister" when she hugged you after the first rescue. )

Unfortunately, this won't give us ShiRanShin in canon.

ONCE AGAIN EATING BC A CN FAN DUG UP PICS OF CONAN AND KOGORO GIVING SOMEONE CPR AND THEY ACTUALLY POSED CORRECTLY FOR IT (LIFTING UP THE PATIENT'S CHIN, PINCHING THE NOSE ETC)

WHEREAS IN M26 CONAN ONLY LIFTED AI CHAN UP BY THE SIDE OF HER HEAD

Sneaky bastard Ur highkey tryna do smth (I wonder what) to her innit ✨😏👍

Someone else also mentioned how Conan's response "maybe she hasn't woken up completely" when ran was confused over ai kissing her (that was totally not how CPR works) would seemingly imply that ai wanted to take the chance and kiss Conan, but instead got the wrong person. He could very well have just said smth like "er haha idk?" And glossed it over.

Additionally, ran just watched him, a "first grader", dive into the ocean to save his fellow first grader "friend" and similarly sometime later, watched that same first grader "friend" dive into the very same ocean to save him. That's gonna give her a "wow they're so willing to risk their lives for each other, it's as if they can't lose one another" impression 😭😭😭

Granted ran does not know Conan is shinichi and doesn't want to suspect anymore (Conan kun is Conan kun!) after seeing how different he is from her ideal image of shinichi, but still. If you think about how the 2 possible scenarios (if shinichi comes back) are:

1. He tells her the truth and she realises how willing he is for another girl that's gonna make her feel bad

2. If he doesn't tell her the truth, she'll never realise this, and it'll make their relationship partially untruthful because they're not open w each other

And neither sound like good endings doesn't it, he's putting more burdens on himself to assure ran, who is on most part emotionally vulnerable

In my most humble opinion I think he actually DID catch her drift that she kissed ran instead of letting him do it, on purpose because she is conscious of the fact that he and ran are currently dating at that point of time. Added with his confused thinking stare at her as she smiles back at him thinking "I returned it properly, your lips", he's sure to be trying to understand her motive and feelings. But I bet he ends up short BC he can't deduce the heart of the woman he (subconsciously) loves haha

I mean I might also be thinking too much, putting further analysis on top of other ppl's analysis but that's the fun in deductions isn't it, bouncing ideas around until you get it. It's not as fun to get the answer straightaway without effort

kir appreciation post (m26 edition)

let the movie marinate in my head for a night and i still cant stop thinking about how from start to finish kir comes back to the franchise and absolutely one ups every other noc character for me

from the very beginning they introduce her character and bring in her values as a person: for an audience who doesnt remember who she is especially its very refreshing because right from the bat you know three things:

theres an obvious chase scene going on, but she's unwilling to catch the prey, meaning her allegiances lie elsewhere

her heart is in helping people, and risks her own cover AND life in the process

and that she's not above feeling fear about how close she was to screwing everything she's worked up for up until that moment.

the cold open shows us three things immediately about kir that sets the scene for her role in the movie, way better than how she's essentially been forgotten by our floating timeline canon. now you can argue these traits are absolutely present across our current babygirls bourbon (furuya) and former member rye (akai), but with kir (hidemi hondou) the way she actively faces consequences for her defiance (getting shot multiple times, both in movie 20 and movie 26) sets her from a different bar from those two

her next scene is when she's tying up the kidnapped haibara

which is a great scene overall because it furthers her position as a woman of heart and someone who stands away from the org, but also because it is an extremely subtle nod that makes use of her high perceptiveness that was present all the way from her introduction arc BACK IN EPISODE 425

where she sees immediately through conan's cheap ass lie but makes no effort to bring light to it. in fact, that whole case, you can straight up argue she KNEW she was being wire tapped the whole time. its nice that it made a comeback 18 years later

BACK TO THE MOVIE, THOUGH, biggest fave is that in her next scene, we get to see her display the difficulty of being part of an organization that actively goes against her core principles as a person AND brings back traumatic memories for her

as naomi is being psychologically tortured by being forced to watch her dad be assassinated, kir finds this extremely hard to watch. you are then shown the flashback of what made her into a CIA agent today which you know IS KINDA FUCKED UP

like imagine your dad killed himself in front of you. shes shaking with rage but also the core memory of having her beloved father ripped from her hands in pursuit of this seemingly endless goose chase that she's already too deep in to let go

and as naomi is distraught over the death of her father she is reminded of her own position; memories, the harrowing experience of loss and how she is part of the organization that robs lives away from families.

but even after all that it strengthens her resolve to do the right thing.

GIN THIS ENTIRE MOVIE (and arguably the whole franchise) is built up to be the most terrifying enemy for all the parties involved. haibara is traumatized from her experiences with him. conan is actively uneasy at the idea of him being anywhere close. his own damn coworkers still walk on eggshells around him. YET, kir — who had already been fucking shot by gin in the very beginning already — goes toe to toe with gin and challenges him.

THIS GIRL TAKES IT LIKE NO ONE ELSE IN THIS DAMN FRANCHISE

she shows

a) manipulative skill directly. playing on words, feeding on doubt. psychological tactics that she had been trained by the CIA for (a claim they had made 18 years ago but never bothered to show until now)

b) that she's dauntless. she pressed herself against that gun and walked that edge knowing full well she could die should gin feel like it, but also with the confidence that she can and WILL weasel herself out of this situation

AND AT THE END OF THE MOVIE SHE DOES!!!!!!

SHE LIVES AND MAKES IT OUT SAFELY. this girl knows her shit and will live to tell the tale. even if its just plot armour working, it damn feels good to have them show a character worth their salt this way

as an extended bonus, this woman-gaze directed promo art is crazy.

im in love with her actually.

Also on the topic of M26 not a great fan of how did they revealed Pinga's cover though to be fair Vermouth has been known to go under cover as both man and woman but still the way they did this one felt more HMMM.
