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 1076: The Charismatic CEO's Secret Plan

Scenario: Conan and Kogoro find a body downtown. It appears that he was killed by a blow to the head with a pipe, and a dying message was left on the road surface. Conan and his friends visit the apartment where the victim lived, and are told by the caretaker that he said he would pay the rent that had accumulated tomorrow. Furthermore, the presence of Utagawa Sogyo's president emerges from a response to a weekly magazine the caretaker was reading that day. The possibility that he was involved in the incident by trying to extort him came up.

Kogoro and Conan discovered a corpse on the street while taking a stroll. Seemingly, the deceased have been hit in the head with a metal pipe, and remained a dying message that looks like "1-1-2". The estimated time of death is around 9PM last night, Conan visited the deceased's apartment.

According to the apartment manager, no one seem to hold grudge with the victim Komoda. Owing to the fact that Komoda doesn't have a job and claimed yesterday afternoon that he will pay off all of his unpaid apartment rent tomorrow, Kogoro deduces that he must be blackmailing people for a living, and Komoda might be anti-killed by his blackmailed target.

The manager added that Komoda also noticed the photo of Tosuke Utagawa on the magazine, who is the CEO of Utagawa Corporation. He declared that Utagawa would be the perfect target to blackmail, due to his wealth. They went to talk with the CEO, Utagawa. He seemed rather arrogant, and he doesn't have an alibi when the crime was carried out. Up until now, he looks like the person who would kill Komoda for a plausible reason.

Tomoe Izumi, the lady that they encountered in the crime scene, said that yesterday morning Komoda approached her to consult about Juichi Innami, who was a her former resident. Innami had been gone for ten days and he only came back the other night and said he was moving away, however no one knew where did he move to. She showed a video with the appearance of Innami which shocked everyone, Innami looks exactly identical with the CEO Utagawa. Are they the same person?

After a long time of reasoning, another possibility emerged. Innami may be a substitute of Utagawa for fabricating certain alibi, in the premise of their exact same appearances. Kogoro said that it is possible that Komoda blackmailed Utagawa by taking advantage of this matter, and Innami might be killed by Utagawa after the alibi was fabricated. Later, they found out that there was a reward ceromony that held within Utagawa's company on the evening of 9th. This leads to the assumption that Innami might've substituted Utagawa to attend the ceromony. However, the fingerprints on the winner award matched with Utagawa's. This means that it was the real CEO who attended the ceremony.

Conan thinks there's more behind this case, and finally discovers a shocking truth.
