Welcome! MeitanteiBunshou here with some thoughts on today’s Detective Conan.

This Week’s Translation

ボクと蘭姉ちゃん、小五郎のおじさんでバードウォッチングに来たんだ! でもおじさんが双眼鏡であたりを見回してたら、道路の向こうの家から怪しい人が出て来たのを見つけたみたい。 ボクも見てみたら、電気屋さんの車で走って行っちゃったんだ! その家に行ってみたらリビングで胸を刺された男の人が! 電気屋さんの警察の捜査について行こうとしたら、玄関に倒れていた招き猫にも血痕があって…!?

TVオリジナル「招き猫は見ていた」このあとすぐ!

Ran, Kogoro and I went bird-watching together. But while Kogoro was looking around with his binoculars, he spotted someone suspicious leaving a house. I took a look and noticed it was an electrician’s truck driving away from the scene. And when I looked in the house, there was a man that was stabbed in the living room! The cops began an investigation into the electrician and we found a lucky cat by the entrance splattered with blood?!

Anime original “The Lucky Cat Saw Everything” coming up next!

The case was good. We had several potential culprits and added some complexity in this one part episode. Really wonder who suggested to go bird-watching. Out of all of them, I’m putting my money on Ran. But of course, they end up discovering a dead body instead.

Sucks to come home, find out your friend has been selling your guitars and then get killed by said friend. On top of that, the dude was impersonating him and dating women his friend’s name. That just doesn’t make any sense to go that far. Could understand a little if Shiro was an up and coming rock star, but even then he would have to resemble him to pull this off. Furthermore, how much money did Shiro have to go to America for 2 years and still pay for his place back in Japan? So many questions.

I did find it strange for Shiro to go to the US, just to hone his guitar skills. Practicing and joining a band in Japan would have helped for sure. The more I think about it, I would have liked to know more about Shiro the guitarist. I’m also curious of how that conversation between Shiro and his impersonator Yumemura went before the murder.

Not only did Yumemura impersonate then kill his “friend”, he pushed his girlfriend off of the second floor of a building. Like what the heck?! Good thing Ran knows basic life support. And with Conan’s trap set, they were able to find out Yumemura was the killer. It’s hilarious how they walk right into a set-up and try to play it off like they are innocent. All’s well that ends well.

During the end credit scene, I found it funny that Conan is calling out Kogoro for impersonating someone. And to end the episode Ran gives him a little advice.

Next Episode is…

Got another anime original on our hands next time.

As for the Conan Hint: Turtle – 亀

Until next time 👋
