CONAN DIES WHEN RAN CRIES
i'll let shinichi explain:
chapter 71
when i first read this chapter, i thought that shinichi was sweet talking ran to avoid her wrath, but rereading the manga made me realize how misguided i was
"it hurts me when you cry" is shinichi admitting something deeply personal, it's him explaining why ran's tears always get a reaction out of him, regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the body he's in
chapter 9
ran: is struggling with shinichi's absence
shinichi: starts calling her on the phone as himself
chapter 48
ran: is emotionally overwhelmed after the karaoke bar case, thinking that shinichi is back and avoiding her, waits for him in the cold for three hours
shinichi: comes up with the idea of talking to her as himself by turning off the lights
i love this moment so much, cause he's using both ran's love language (physical touch) and his own (words of affirmation) to ground and reassure her and it works
chapter 95
shinichi: tells ran to stop crying and ignores heiji in the middle of a case to ask her to wait for him
chapter 143
shinichi: checks on ran after using her for his deduction, drops honorifics when he realizes what he's done and defeatedly endures her tears
also shinichi: never involves her in a case to this extent ever again, even 1000 chapters later
chapter 260
shinichi: involuntary flakes on ran during their date and has to face her as conan
also shinichi: forgets he's conan for a sec as he drops the most epic lines in the manga
chapter 334
ran: is heartbroken cause it's valentine's day and shinichi's still gone
shinichi:
puts the jacket on her when she falls alseep,
reaches out to her as himself
and eats her chocolate
just to get her to smile again.
chapter 479-483
ran: supsects conan's real identity again and feels like he's completely out of reach even though he's so close
also ran: stops suspecting him but still expresses feelings of emotional distance to shinichi
shinichi: gets a second phone just for ran
and carries it with him wherever he goes.
chapter 727 (white day)
ran: starts crying because she thinks shinichi didn't get her anything for white day
shinichi: goes out of his way to draw attention to his gift so she stops crying
(LMFAO, he's so extra)
chapter 743-752
ran: feels like her feelings for shinichi are one-sided, is absolutely devasted, runs off crying
shinichi: drops his current case, runs after her
and confesses his love for her, so she never doubts his feelings for her again.
chapter 884
ran: is frustrated by all the misfortune shinichi brings
shinichi:
in conclusion, shinichi only has two weaknesses: aptx 4869 and ran's tears. and the funniest part is that aptx didn't even kill him like it was supposed to. ran's tears on the other hand? i believe they possess great power. enough power to kill shinichi?

Sometimes you have to sit down and think about how Naoko Takeuchi really changed the face of storytelling with Sailor Moon. She really created characters that overcame time, localizations, and barriers to become beloved and fleshed out, reinterpreted throughout the years via dedicated fans.
Sailor Moon is a story that just gives and gives and gives and it feels like people will continue to rediscover the story and retell it in their own ways and it’s beautiful and touching and epic and I think I need to sit down for a moment.

Alrighty, I got my work cut out for me. I’ll work on these five replies then muse some more of Max’s life.
But in the future, I’m looking for all the kids in twd verse. Judith, Gracie, RJ, Henry, Lydia, and more connections for Max.
