DETECTIVE CONAN ONLINE

Summary

Case Closed

Case Closed, known as Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン?, lit. Great Detective Conan, officially translated as Detective Conan) in Japan, is a Japanese detective manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. The series is serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday since February 2, 1994, and has been collected in 73 tankōbon volumes as of September 2011. Due to legal considerations with the name Detective Conan, the English language release was renamed Case Closed.[1] The story follows the adventures of Jimmy Kudo, a prodigious young detective who was inadvertently transformed into a child after being poisoned.

Since its publication, Case Closed has spawned a substantial media franchise. The manga has been adapted into an ongoing animated television series by Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation and TMS Entertainment; the animated series has reached its twentieth season. The series has spawned three original video animation series, fifteen animated feature films, three live action dramas, one live action series, numerous video games, and many types of Case Closed-related merchandise. A two-hour television special titled Lupin the 3rd vs Detective Conan was aired on March 27, 2009, and featured a crossover with the series Lupin III.

Funimation Entertainment licensed the anime series for North American broadcast in 2003 under the name Case Closed with the characters given Americanized names. The anime premiered on Cartoon Network as part of their Adult Swim programming block and was discontinued due to low ratings. The first six films were released on Region 1 DVD in North America. Viz Media later licensed the manga series for English-language publication in North America and used Funimation's renamed title and cast. As of July 2011, 39 volumes have been published by Viz Media.

Compilation volumes of the manga have sold more than 120 million copies in Japan. In 2001, the manga was awarded 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category. The anime adaptation has been well received and ranked in the top twenty in Animage's polls between 1996 and 2001. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Case Closed often ranked in the top six. Both manga and anime have had positive response from critics for its plot and cases.

Plot

Jimmy Kudo is a 17-year-old high school prodigy who frequently helps the police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is attacked by two criminals, codenamed Gin and Vodka, from the syndicate called the Black Organization. They force him to ingest an experimental poison, APTX 4869, which is supposed to kill him, and leave him to die. A rare side-effect of the poison, however, transforms Kudo's body into that of a child instead of killing him.

Adopting the pseudonym Conan Edogawa, Kudo hides his identity to investigate the Black Organization. He intends to pretend to be a child until he can find enough evidence to apprehend the syndicate, after which he can then safely find and administer a cure for his current condition. Edogawa enrolls at Teitan elementary school and forms the Junior Detective League with three other children in his class: Amy Yoshida, Mitch Tsuburaya, and George Kojima. To further cover up his activities, he moves in with his childhood friend Rachel Moore, whose father, Richard, works as a private investigator. Kudo continues to solve criminal cases as Conan, but usually poses as Richard Moore with the help of special gadgets invented by his neighbor and friend, Hiroshi Agasa.

Shiho Miyano, a member of the Black Organization and creator of APTX 4869, tries to leave the syndicate after her sister's murder, but is held captive by them. She attempts to commit suicide by ingesting APTX 4869; however, like Kudo, she is transformed into a child. She manages to escape and enrolls in Conan's school under the pseudonym, Anita Hailey. She joins the Junior Detective League and assists Conan in his investigations on the Black Organization. Conan's quest has led him to help the FBI to plant a CIA agent, Kir, inside the Black Organization as an undercover spy.

In 2007, Aoyama hinted he had the ending planned out but he has no intention of ending the series yet.

Episode 1168: Genta's Eel Casebook

Scenario: A chef named Shigeru Unagizuka, who is also the owner of Ginpachi Unagi Shop, was injured in the leg and could not make a delivery, so Genta decided to help him. He coincidentally meets Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi on the way. Unfortunately, the chef is discovered to be seriously injured by a stab wound to the left side of the chest and is currently being treated in the hospital in critical condition. This makes Genta extremely angry and determined to make the culprit pay for what he has done.

Before that, Takagi has to ask Genta about the time he last saw Unagizuka, the boy answered he arrived here at 3pm and left to help the victim deliver goods at 3:30pm. Later, the boys also learn that Yuya Kurashima found the victim stabbed at 4:30pm when he delivered soy sauce. In addition, Genta remembers that he met a man who was immediately chased out by Unagizuka when he just left the shop holding an envelope with the word Aoiya written on it, so the police, Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys go together to confirm the identity of that person. The man, Hiroyuki Okamoto, had an argument over eel sales outside the victim’s shop. The police also plan to question the last customer who had been to the shop (and luckily they paid by card, so it would be easier to find them) before Unagizuka got stabbed. The last customer, Rio Matsui, recalls that she was at the shop from 3:45 pm to 4:15 pm, and she did not see anyone else suspicious.

At the same time, Genta is hungry because he couldn’t eat the eels he would had after delivering the goods if Unagizuka hadn't been stabbed by someone. Luckily, Rio’s husband would be home late tonight and would be having dinner out, so Genta and his friends are treated to the eels that are probably meant for tomorrow by her. However, when leaving Rio's house, Genta points out something unusual about the eels he and the others had just eaten, so after Takagi leaves, they return to the Ginpachi Unagi Shop to check. There, Genta discovers that the soy sauce used on the eels is different from usual, so everyone decides to ask Kurashima to confirm, and he denies the crime because:

- Ginpachi Unagi Shop stopped using Kurashima's soy sauce since he took over his soy sauce company and if he wanted revenge he would have done it years ago because making soy sauce takes many years.

- Today he went to that shop to let Unagizuka try his newly made soy sauce and saw him stabbed.

Then Genta gets the idea to ask Rio about the eels and who prepared it for her and she says that a very young person wearing a mask made it, and from there, with Genta’s rich knowledge of eels and Conan’s deduction will together reveal the abnormality to point out the culprit.
