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 1096: Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's Detective Notes 2

Scenario: After a long day of helping to clean and tidy the birdhouses at the park shed, the Detective Boys inquired of the park warden, Satoshi Kimishima, if he had more work to deploy to them. Fearing that he would not trust their abilities, they introduced themselves. After that, Kimishima finally asked them if they could find the owner of a hat that had stayed in the lost-and-found box for so long that it was time to dispose of it. After the Detective Boys had accepted the offer, the park warden walked towards another man, Hayato Izumiya, who was handing Kimishima a big purse filled with stuff. According to the park warden, there are many visitors that give the birds food, so it must be a bag full of food.

Mitsuhiko, using his perceptive observation skills, along with his astonishing deduction skills, managed to find the hat owner. Evidently, the owner of that hat is named Nozomu Katsumi. He was also surprised when Mitsuhiko handed him the hat and inquired how he knew it was his. Since the symbol on the hat looked custom-made, it was most likely an amateur baseball team. In addition, they contacted the hat manufacturer, following the clues, which helped them find Katsumi's teammates - that was how he found the hat owner. After that, Mitsuhiko disclosed that he actually consulted the "canon" of Sherlock Holmes Stories. And this time it was "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle".

When the Detective Boys left Katsumi's premise, they found out by questioning some regular park visitors that most of their (or their friend's) jewels were stolen by the new burglar. That was infamously known in the entire district, and a police officer the Detective Boys met informed every resident and strengthened their awareness of it. At the same time, Haibara showed a police officer a sketch book that a female old lady gave her. There were a lot of drawings she drew within this park, and after the police officer had seen it, he pointed at a man drawn on the sketch book, which was apparently the park warden, Kimishima, and said that he had questioned him three times already because he felt him being somewhat suspicious, however, no falws were found on him. This sentence gave Conan a clearer idea of what was going on. And combining the discovery Mitsuhiko found, which all of the people who got robbed were regular park visitors, Conan figured out the culprit's trick of stealing jewels. Conan claimed Kimishima was the burglar, who knew the park visitors' time out. With this information, he could steal the jewels when the visitors were strolling out in the park. Moreover, to avoid any evidence being left on himself, he decided to take advantage of the pigeons he raised. With some practice, it should not be difficult to make them steal the jewels. He knew very well that pigeons have "homing instincts", which are their ability to return to their nests. But when the Detective Boys went to see Kimishima, they found Kimishima struggling in the head with tonnes of blood. What happened to him?

The Detective Boys analysed the situation of this attempted murder: there were leather shoeprints on the floor, which were apparently not the victim's since Kimishima wore sneakers; and the weapon to strike the victim's head was the bat left in the lost-and-found box. In other words, the culprit was someone Kimishina knows, probably an accomplice or a robbery-related person. The mess in the shed might not be the result of their tussling, but Conan deduced that the culprit must have been searching the shed to find someone. Most likely flee away when seeing the arrival of the Detective Boys, they must be hiding somewhere in this park to watch out for another opportunity to sneak in once again. Later on, the Detective Boys began their investigation into "finding the culprit". When the sun was about to set, all of the members of Detective Boys had gathered together, except Mitsuhiko, who was still poking around in the park.

Inside the restroom, Mitsuhiko was washing his hands. When he lifted his hands upward, he recalled himself carrying the birdhouse this morning, which made him think of something. He swiftly ran out of the restroom and went to the shed, seemingly understanding the truth of the case. On the other hand, the culprit was watching him at the back of the tree trunk. Thus, what did Mitsuhiko find out? And who is the culprit?
