Hey bro, any thoughts on the latest files with Heiji and the monks? What about that easter egg for the next case, regarding that long lost detective that will be back, is Gosho hinting at Saguru? Or just Shinichi? Do you think the next files could be Rum arc resolution?
File 1116-1118 Review
I enjoyed the case a lot overall. Already starting from File 1116, Ran was getting a proactive role in the Heizuha romance plot, which I found so refreshing and endearing (since Ran has gotten so sidelined lately).
The whole monk themed case was a such a nostalgia trip as well, and I love how Gosho also gave our other Mouri, Kogoro, a proactive role in the case, showcasing once again his judo moves.
As for the Heizuha confession build up, that started since File 1113 (Muga shinkansen case), contrary to my expectations, it still didn't pay off in any way, as Heiji once again failed due to forgetfullness (File 118), despite Ran's efforts.
What however made this quite disappointing was that even the Hyakunin isshu tournament setup from the previous case was also resolved off-screen and didn't remain as a potential plot-thread to a future official confession case setting. However, that very same Momiji scene that resolved the tournament setup also gave a teaser/foreshadowing to Momiji potentially starting to act more actively towards her romantic goals with Heiji. She referenced a Hyakunin isshu poem that bears a similar message to "time is money", where she mentions that time can easily pass by in the blink of an eye if one keeps acting indecisive (File 1118), as if she is planning on officially making her move soon.
This could be Gosho still building on the confession-anticipation momentum from the this and the previous case, and that the next upcoming case could still tie into the Ōoka/Heizuha subplot in some way as the official confession case approaches. If not, then it will truly feel like Gosho wasted an actual opportunity of building up tension towards an eventual confession.
As for the teaser of a long lost detective finally reappearing in the next case, it does fit with the idea of it being Hakuba Saguru (who fans have kept nagging Gosho about when he will return in DC). This also fits with the AC teaser that he will be drawing a vertical double-spread magazine cover featuring Kid.
While this may seem as an immediate confirmation that it will be a Kid case and that there will be no further Heizuha/Ooka material in the next case, there is still potential that Gosho is actually planning on intertwining them again, like in Fairy's lips case (File 1018-1021) & Queen's bangs case (If the falcon elder is Former prime minister [FPM] Ōoka). This is due to Gosho also promoting M27, which is a Heizuha-Kid Movie, in the same magazine as the double-spread, and he also teased in another AC that he will be drawing the Naniwa (Osaka) duo in the poster art for M27.
In other words, there is still hope that Momiji's teaser in the latest chapter bares importance in the following Kid case. Also, if the ongoing speculation that the falcon motif seen with the Falcon elder belongs to the Ōoka family and that they are related to Hakuba Saguru (who has his own Falcon pet) is true, then this upcoming Kid/Hakuba case would further be inviting more Ōoka/Heizuha material (that potentially keeps the Heizuha plot streak going).
While not impossible, these AC teasers does lessen the chance of us getting Rum climax in the upcoming case, unless the teased detective was meant to be Shinichi all along (which I currently feel is unlikely, since Crimson School Trip did not happen too long ago).

Ok so here’s the other Detective Conan oneshot I wrote at 14
Englisch translation:
The man aims and shoots. Everything that can be be heard are the loud screams as she slowly falls to the ground. „KAZUHA!“ Heiji runs torwards his friend and scoops her up in his arms while Ran kicks the weapon out of the man’s hand and punches him so hard he faints, afterwards she runs to the two, Conan just stands there watching as his best friend holds her body in his arms. „KAZUHA. Hey Kazuha talk to me. For gods sake…talk to me“ Suddenly Conan shows up at Heijis side. „Hattori. Maybe you should let her go.“ „Dammit, no! She’s not dead. She can’t be dead. Such a moron like her could never just die like that without saying something. This…this just can’t be happening!“ „But Heiji…“ says Ran. „NO! Stop trying to convince me of something that’s not true!“ „Heiji we don’t mean it like that, but…“ Conan interjects. „But what? What do you want to say?“ Suddenly they hear a slight snicker and Kazuha begins to stir. „Kazuha?“ Then she sits up and begins to laugh hysterically. „Haha…you really thought I was dead…haha!“ „That isn’t funny at all!“ „Oh but I do find it very funny! On another note what did you mean when you said Moron?“ „Exactly what you think I meant!“ And they’re at it, arguing again meanwhile Ran and Conan just shake their heads.
The funny thing is I remember writing this in Physics class the day after I watched the Naniwa serial killer case where Heiji got shot. I really liked the end in the ambulance and was thinking something along the lines „an eye for an eye. If Heiji gets to scare Kazuha why not let her scare him as retaliation!“ And that’s how this oneshot was born lol

Honestly, I was pretty scared about watching M23. There were so many expectations riding on it, even before I started watching DetCo around this time last year. It was the most popular movie featuring KID. For a time, it was the first crossing movie of the whole franchise. It was the movie I saw referenced or written about the most in the fanfic tags for the series.
Well, having said all that, I finally reached the point in my DetCo watch-a-thon were I could watch it and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! If anything, I think it just became my favorite KID-related movie! It really had everything. Mystery! Intrigue! Twists galore! KID and Conan buddy magician-detective comedy! So many near-death experiences. They even blew up the place all over again, and Conan skated down a building on a deck chair lmao.
I think the most surprising thing I got out from this movie was the plot around Sonoko and Makoto. It was a convulted one imo. Was honestly any of what happened to them worth the effort, ya know? I have my doubts. But the movie writer managed to convince me of their relationship in under two hours, the way the overall series hasn't managed in all the episodes I've seen so far. They are precious and ridiculous. Truly meant for each other.
Overall, I had such a good time! I'm still in such high spirits, it's a rush. While I can admit that with this cast, it was another fanservise movie for the ages. But at least this time I could suspend my disbelief way way easier~ 😁
