Who doesn't like detective/mystery/suspense/crime anime or tv shows? I do like it very much. So today I'll write about anime's smartest detective "ever lived". His name is Jimmy Kudo a.k.a Conan Edogawa. I'll talk about the anime Detective Conan or Case Closed as it is known in English-speaking audiences. It is a fantastic anime for those who like to solve murder cases in the style of Sherlock Holmes. So let us begin, shall we?
The story begins in a mansion when rich people had a party. We saw people talking and an old man in a wheelchair laughing and a man with angry stere walking upstairs to a room and lock the room. Outside was raining and was dark since the party was at night. In the other room, we see a dark figure who ties the rope to a bad and goes through the window. He jumps from the roof to the balcony and opens the balcony door and shot the man. Guests heard the gunshot and start to run towards it to look at what is going on. They see a man laying on the floor dead.
Then we go to the living room where an old man in a wheelchair yell at inspector Maguire that he should stop stalling since the investigation doesn't go any further and reminded him that his guests are very powerful people. Inspector then explains to him that no matter what, he can't let go of the guests yet, but soon it will. The old man says to him; if he implying that the murderer is one of his guests. After that, a young teenager about 17 years old comes to the living room and says; who else :). He explains to him how the killer does the murder and an old man says with an angry voice that the victim was his friend and demands him to tell them who did murder him. Jimmy then points to the old man in a wheelchair and says; you did it. Then the old man laughs and says; you think that I'm an acrobat hahaha. Jimmy then says ONLY ONE TRUTH PREVAILS and trow at him globus and an old man jumps from the wheelchair to avoid impact. A maid screams; how you do it sir; standing on both legs. Jimmy then explains that he can walk three months now after the accident. Inspector Maguire then says that he talks to his doctor and that he explain to him everything. After cops take him away to the precinct an old man, inspector Maguire slaps multiple times Jimmy to his back and congrats him, and Jimmy replies to him that he can always count on his help.
The next morning Jimmy heard an explosion when he was still in bed and initially open the window. The family friend and neighbor "kind off" was again doing some experiments. He explains to him that he trying to create some new gadgets for him. That was doctor Agata. Back in the library doc say to him that he still had a lot of books.
Meanwhile, in the city, a man in the office uses angry words because Jimmy again "steals" his case as it reads a newspaper. Soon his daughter comes in and tries to calm him down, but he yells in his voice say to her that he doesn't have any clients anymore since that kid (Jimmy Kudo) solves anything. She says to his dad that gives Jimmy some credit because he is a great detective?! I don't know about you, but how can be 17-year-old teenager a detective? On the street we see kids watching tv from the shop as Jimmy walks through the streets and egoistically laughing and listens what people talking about him. Then suddenly a towel was thrown towards him and we see Rachel; the daughter of that detective I talk about earlier and give him an angry speech. He says that what is wrong with her that with little self-adoration. She tells him that is rude to put his dad out of his job, and he replies to her that his dad didn't solve anything in months. ups hahaha; that was low. :D Then she punches a wall that hard that she makes a hole in it with her fist and says that if he will continue to talk like that he will be next. They start to walk to the school and he punches a soccer ball to the goal and Rachel says to him; if he wouldn't be in Sherlock Holmes novels that much, he would be a soccer star now. Jimmy explains to her that he didn't play soccer because of that, but because he needs to learn the skill, like his idol Sherlock Holmes learns fence. Rachel reminds him that tomorrow he promises her that he would go with her to tropical land (amusement park) if she wins the karate tournament and she did 3 weeks ago.
At the night in the apartment, we see a young woman making a pearl necklace and she was crying. The next day we see three kids in the tropical land who try to sneak into the rollercoaster. When Rachel and Jimmy walk to the line for the rollercoaster; he starts to talk again about Sherlock Holmes how he met his partner Watson. He explains that as soon he meets him he knew that he was a medical doctor, then she grabs a random person's hand and says that she is a gymnast since her hand was showing that and she has dark signs between legs of training. After a while when Jimmy still talks about Sherlock, Rachel loses her mind and starts yelling at him that she doesn't want to listen anymore his blabbering about his idol. Then the rollercoaster starts to move and as soon as they come out of the tunnel; the head of one of the person sitting there was gone. All starts to scream. No sooner than the police come to the crime scene and start to investigate the case, and two-man dressed in black yell at inspector Maguire that this had nothing to do with them. Jimmy jumps in and says that this is a murder case and all need to be present there. Inspector then asks Jimmy, if he is 100% that this is a murder, and the man in the black suit says with surprise in his voice "hey it's him" and all eyes were on Jimmy. Inspector Maguire explains how they were all sitting and that he gives Rachel and Jimmy pass/a doubt. Police then find a bloody knife in the woman's purse and by the looks of it, the murder case was finished... BUT Jimmy says that the girl is not a murderer. Jimmy starts to walk towards the real murderer and say that ONE TRUTH PREVAILS and he points to the victim's girlfriend.
He told inspector Maguire that no-one else could do it except skilled gymnast as it she was. Then she cracks out and she admits that she killed her boyfriend as Jimmy describes. On the way out Jimmy and Rachel talk about murder and Rachel asks Jimmy how can be so cold and as soon she asks him that a man in black runs through them and Jimmy says to Rachel that he needs to check something and starts to run. Rachel was shivering as she was looking at Jimmy running away from her like she doesn't see him again; you know the woman's intuition.
In the alley man in black demands a ransom for the pics from some powerful perverted man and as soon as they hit Jimmy in the back exchanges money and pics another man in black and gives him some kind of pill, thinking that it will kill him. Later on, the police find a boy laying on the grass and ask him some questions, but he runs away. Later was shown that that kid was Jimmy in a body of a child but no-one knows that yet.
The anime is phenomenal full of great stuff and solving mystery murders. I watch it to this day since 1996 when the anime begins and tell you the truth I learned a lot about this work because it's very accurate. So let's grab popcorn and start to watch it yourself. The anime is still ongoing and its more then 999 episodes and still counting.
