Sir Nyx-A-Lot
[DCMK] Resumed my reread. I’d forgotten just how extra Hakuba is every time he’s introduced.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Oh that’s just my bff hawk!Watson. He’s drawn to the smell of blood.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Now let me descend these stairs like a ballroom model
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I love him.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And of course, he plays billiards expertly too.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
/inHALES SHARPLY
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Do they play poker differently in Japan
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I need to know this immediately
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
There is nothing online telling me so I can only assume that maybe he was just unaware
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/6aB4ldjZF6bpvOgdm4aEFR.jpg This is not a straight
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Unless things are played wildly different then a deuce has no place in a face card straight. It doesn’t wrap around.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/2LwBjEgiT0zx4gE90pWBB5.png this aged well
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Hakuba, you know damn well this isn’t Kid’s MO. Stop teasing Mouri
Sir Nyx-A-Lot

Sir Nyx-A-Lot
This case is so delightfully dramatic when everyone starts turning on each other.

good luck catching up to chapter 1000
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
F-fool. I’ve already read chapter 1000! it’s just. Somewhere around there. That I...lost...track.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I have absolutely no idea what I last read. So. Well. 200 something and trekking on
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I’ll get there. Eventually
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Why is this manga so effing long. I love all of it (even the parts that don’t age quite as well), and the ye olde fanscans are terrible, too
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I could shortcut my way to 1000, but I’d miss out on some good cases in the process
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I still remember reading all of these, too. You’d think after god knows how many years there’s be at least one case that I’d have no memory of whatsoever but not yet.
bean check
right? I'm surprised by how few bad cases there are
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
It’s the same happy hit as watching any procedural crime drama where you really enjoy the characters, honestly
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Like. I yearn to know where this is going and to see how it all resolves, but if it’s just these idiots solving crimes together for the rest of time I wouldn’t be super upset
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I don’t always agree with Conan but I will fight anyone on his behalf
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And other than some one-off characters I don’t think I can say I dislike anyone in this manga either, which is pretty rare for me.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
It would have been so easy for several characters to be unbearably annoying but no.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Of course, there’s always a sad moment after a KID or Heiji case where I feel down going back to the status quo cases.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/21v6ys14UTvAqGKtDjg129.png Ran, please
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
You watch way too many dramas
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
You know your idiot. He only knows romance when it roundhouse kicks him upside the head
bean check
btw if you want to save yourself a bit of pain, I think you can read all the chapters on the viz app for $3
bean check
plus there's a 7 day free trial on top of that rn
bean check
"all the chapters" well okay there's a daily limit of 100 but that's a lot per day
bean check
wait crap
bean check
nm it isn't part of their shounen jump access, what the heck
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That sucks. :/ although that does sound nice in general.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I’ve got the whole series on the manga app I use, and I know the scans get better over time. It’s just some of those early ones where I’ve gotta parse out some oddities.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
One of these days I’ll have enough space where I can actually showcase all my books and I can properly collect the series instead of just one or two here and there
bean check
that is a lot of money i gotta say
bean check
I'm just happy my local library started picking it up
bean check
jeez. you can read all the chapters of one piece, dbz, and bleach, but not dcmk
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That’s so lame.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/7rrpL6tmGkyIaDn6C6pWy8.png LOOK AT HOW EXTRA HE IS?!?!?!
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Athletic little shit. There’s no way that doesn’t hurt your feet
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Ahou
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Just gonna balance on this here real fucking sword after dodging your super deadly, trained swing.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And then gloat about how awesome I am
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/2q06t7H6esXuCBDBNlqCzb.jpg Gaaaaay
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/2erFrXyr6UqLN4WtGOnkkh.png And the pattern continues.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/5MHETqW0pfauN1c2dIKKy8.jpg Sorry, Kazuha. Their combined luck is just too strong for charms
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And in comes Heizo to straight up punch his son
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
“To him, that’s what he calls being a parent”
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Um
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
No
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Just because it worked in this case doesn’t mean this is a good way to stop Heiji from spiraling and losing track of the plot
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
“Heiji’s dad should already know his son is like this” yes. Yes he does. And he knows just what to say to manipulate him. As smart as Heiji is.... he’s so dumb and we love him for it
bean check
The entire Osaka crew is so extra
bean check
did i tell you the first time I went to Japan Lou tried to recreate Heiji's tour of Osaka for us?
bean check
it was so weird recognizing locations dead-on from the manga
bean check
especially Osaka Castle like, "ah yes, this is where the dead body fell, and this is where Heiji fishing lined Conan over the fence, and—"
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Kvicydtdjxysjcjchsydkv
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That’d be my dream tour, ngl
bean check
it was pretty great, i agree with Heiji that the Kansai region is tops
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Top of my list of places to travel, if I ever get around to having enough money. Has been for years.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Haha haha oooh boy, you in trouble now, old man.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Threatened to kill his boy, he’s gonna make sure you never see freedom again.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Also as much as I disagree with Heizo’s tactic I gotta say. The man can still get it
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And to just jump off a rail to stand sentinel before his son without busting his knees? Damn.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And let’s face it. He pales in comparison to his wife.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
This family, I swear
bean check
Exchange rates notwithstanding, staying in hostels and eating half our meals from conbini, the first two week trip cost me about $5000 CAD all in, if that gives you a benchmark
bean check
about half of that was for the flight
bean check
i also bought a ton of overpriced souvenirs, so
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/3AKq0lpZgPdxZ4qdLjj0Jq.jpg The American stereotype. That good ol’ cowboy oil tycoon who collects fancy animals.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
bean check : oh, I’m gonna be super weak for souvenirs, not even gonna lie. And probably a few shows. Buts that not a terrible benchmark to start with.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Did that include flights?
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That’s about 3.5k usd
bean check
yep!
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
You said for two weeks? That’s a long ass trip
bean check
The flight was something like $2500? $3000 the next time I went. round trip, economy. first time flying out of Seattle, second out of Vancouver.
bean check
granted i am right on the west coast across from Japan so those prices might be a bit higher for you
bean check
also trust me don't go in August, just don't
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
;; it’s gonna be a long time before I could save up that kind of money comfortably enough to spend it on a trip like that but it’s a start
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Lots of badness in August? Or tourist season?
bean check
re: American stereotypes, Tiger King just came out you can't really argue
bean check
August is 40ºC without the humidex
bean check
and trust me it is humid
bean check
it's also right on the edge of typhoon season
bean check
Golden Week in May is internal tourist season, so also not great. best to aim for momiji/maple season around October or sakura season near March if you can.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I still haven’t watched that. But no, I wasn’t really arguing. Like. If I had to pick a stereotype, that’s definitely one of them that’s painfully accurate. Followed by any Karen, and then dipping into the classic marine types.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I would love to go during Sakura season. I wanna see them. And my birthday is in March so it just feels right
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
And oh yeah. That’s hot. ;;
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Hello Akai. I see you there.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Good to see you up and about.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Being menacing
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Shiratori, why are you so unsettling
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
But Sato is absolutely me. Too lazy to grab, just use the toes.
bean check
Sato is the most relatable cast member by far
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Oh for sure
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/IzGCP3jhGW0urWUiGg5rG.png and then there’s this suave dork, who just waltzes in unannounced, unnoticed, and sits right down in the middle of a super serious conversation
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I really can’t explain these kids and their skills
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/2goQMONFXukfbqyMfI9rxS.jpg the only time he’s ever said anything like this. Sounds fake.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
He’s so sensitive when he’s being called out on his accent
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
https://images.plurk.com/VM31VGndcGjiVqixwZyxA.png you know, one day it’s gonna fall ON you
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Ah yes, Heiji’s underrated superpower: accurately guessing women’s swimsuits
bean check
i forgot about that weird bit
bean check
i think it was meant to highlight Shinichi's complete lack of knowledge regarding anything to do with fashion? but unsure
bean check
maybe just to highlight his ransexuality who knows
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I think Heiji does it out of boredom. Because lord knows he’s singularly focused himself
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Man. Anytime someone harms Takagi I am ready to commit murder myself.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
How dare
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
How dare
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That is the most precious man in the entire series
bean check
followed closely by Chiba
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Takagi should just never be exposed to bombs, kidnapping, threats of any kind. He and Sato should just have good times and kick ass only
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
CHIBA TOO.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
On the Matsuda cases atm.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Back when those two were even worse than oblivious.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Shinichi, you can NOT tell me you learned bombs in Hawaii
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That one I utterly refuse
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I can’t believe this happened THIS EARLY. I feel like 300s is too soon for Conan to nearly give up his secret to an adult
Usagi
god i remember this case happening and then nothing came of it AND I WAS SO UPSET??
Usagi
LIKE
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Okay, so he didn’t nearly give it away, technically. But he certainly didn’t give a normal answer to ‘who are you’
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
“I’ll tell you if you want to know. In the afterlife.”
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Fucking-
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
No six year old would say that.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I so dearly wanted something to come of this
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Though I suppose Takagi never quite treats him like a little kid again. Not entirely.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Usagi : I just want Shinichi to have allies he can rely on who aren’t. Mired in secrecy and lies.
Usagi
it was just such a Massive lead in to like. eventually having that come out...AND THEN NOTHING
SOBS
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Onto the case where Heiji and Kazuha get kidnapped. All this shit is happening so early. What the fuck filled the other 650 chapters???
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Also, Heiji is an absolute boss. Gets the shit kicked out of him and just keeps on going
Usagi
filler
filler filled them
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Heiji, you are utterly hopeless. Can’t confess on the edge of death, and when you get a chance after promising to tell her once you survive you chicken out.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Sometimes you forget they’re 16. And then this happens.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
So shocked that he doesn’t get to solve crimes with Kudo. Rip.
bean check
650 chapters of "cool notice, still murder. also then who was Rum????"
bean check
plus Shinichi outing himself on public television but yanno
bean check
.... cool motive, still murder, thanks autocorrect
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
That sounds about right.
