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).
Kazuha quickly shook her head. She had to concentrate on keeping her good manners. She was a maid. A companion for His Majesty, the heir to the throne of this kingdom of Osaka, His Highness Prince Heiji. The currently apparently most sought-after bachelor in the world.
Again she shook her head. No. That cynical undertone. Wrong again.
I uploaded the English version with my translation although still in beta. Will update later after correction is done.
My @dcmk-exchange gift for @kaitou-kid-my-beloved !!!
so sorry this took so long !! i am so indecisive so i decided to draw multiple things, so really this is a gift bundle,,
i drew more things though :3 under the cut are some extras !!! just didnt want this to be formatted more weirdly then it already is :3c
also !!! credits to the amazing @livmadart for the phantom and kaito kid magical girl aus !!! i personally am a fan of them as well so this was so much fun to draw :33
And these are some doodles of things i would have wanted to draw, but couldn’t because of lack of time/energy :3
rewatched the 7th detective conan film and godddddd this was peakkkkkkkk cinema I tell you, peakkkkkkkk and that whole showdown w conan turning back to shinichi to save kazuha bc heiji was in the hospital but heiji escaping to go save kazuha and shinichi and then shinichi running away since he was about to turn back into conan and meeting ran but having to stun her and her thinking it was just a dream but then later at the train station he purposely shook the soda so she'd pull her hankerchief and see it was dirty from when she wiped shinichi's face and telling her he had called him to help heiji, so she knew it wasn't a dream. and ofc heiji fighting off that guy w his cool kendo skills and then everyone fighting the bad guys off w their skills: kazuha w aikido, ran w karate, kogoro w judo, conan using his power kick boots and even shiratori w a stick lol. and then heiji finallyyyyy realising kazuha was that lil girl, his first love when she was singing that song AHHHHHHHHHHH and him smiling fondly and refusing to tell her who that girl was sjsjehsjsjd
and all that WITHOUT ANY BOMBS! new films COULD NEVER like srsly it baffles me that the producers or gosho or anyone don't see how fcking terrible the new stuff is compared to the old ones. so sad.
Hi Detective, the next files will probably be Rum's arc resolution or pre-resolution. To your opinion, what will happen, can we expect a confrontation with Wakita, another Kudo comeback, Heiji helping Conan? Do you think Muga, working for the Ooka's safety in some way, could know something about the BO?
I brought up some of my predictions at the end of this review:
Gosho had also recently teased in Animal Crossing that next case was gonna be a Heiji-Kazuha centric case at Mt. Takao, so it's as good as confirmed to be the official Heizuha confession case.
I could therefore see this confession plot get followed by Rum development with Rum's Kudo Shinichi pursuit plot progressing, similar to Crimson School Trip (ShinRan confession) aftermath case, that lead to the Shinichi pursuit plot getting introduced. As soon as Rum's Shinichi goal is resolved, it will mark the resolution of Rum arc, since it's the only immediate-issue for Rum that is left unresolved.
