Line 57 ⟶ 58:
* Which, may I say, would be made of awesome.
 
== APTX-4869 was derived from the same stone that the Arrows from [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]] were made from ==
Great boon if you can handle the effect, near-instant death if not...does this ever sound familiar. Although this troper wouldn't be surprised if the reason Shinichi keeps running into murder and theft cases is because a semi-dormant Stand keeps steering him towards loci of rancor and envy...
 
Line 88 ⟶ 89:
== The actual timeline. ==
While I've only read less than half of the series, a personal theory I've had regarding the progression of time is this: Only about half of the total chapters are ''true canon''. To elaborate, several mysteries are often not referecned again, unless it somehow tied into the main plot or events directly continued from the previous chapter. While I wouldn't know if multiple seasons have passed in main plot related chapters, my guess is that most of the "mysteries" are just ''filler'' because the creator probably didn't want to rush to the end or drag out a single mystery too long (the Black Organization/Kudo's return to normal body, notwithstanding). Some mysteries (like the ones relating to Ran/Rachel occasionally getting suspicious of Conan) are meant to happen, as we know that Conan's mission is to get Richard/Kogoro's fame up so he'll attract major cases. It's not a strong theory, but it might help sweep away from confusion.
* Related theory: The "filler" cases are dreams - Conan/Shinichi is certainly big enough of a mystery geek. Or perhaps they're part of a manga that Dr. Agasa works on in his spare time...?
** Alternatively, they're part of a novel Shinichi's father works on, inspired by his son's fate.
* Certainly an interesting theory with the dreams. As I said, I don't know how many "seasons" (and I mean the weather seasons) have "passed" but it would more or less explain how nearly 1000 murders/mysteries have occured and been solved. Only the ones that are extensively mentioned later on/have ties to the Black Organization are actually from the ''timeline'', while everything else is simply filler/dream/what-if scenarios meant to flesh things out (kinda like how you can ignore roughly half or more of [[Cowboy Bebop]]).
Line 106 ⟶ 107:
 
== Detective Conan chronicles every murder committed in Japan. ==
Japan really does have a low crime rate; Conan just happens to be involved in solving EVERY murder case in the country.
 
== [[EarthboundEarthBound|Giygas]] is the reason for the ridiculous numbers of murders in the DC universe. ==
Let's face it, the number of murders in the series is ridiculous. Ignoring the kidnappings and the one instance of suicide, there have been over 600 in roughly the span of a year (since Conan hasn't aged much). And murders aside, the people in the cases aren't the nicest of people. They're usually mean, spiteful, and lashing at people who are supposed friends.
 
Think about what Buzz Buzz told Ness back in [[EarthboundEarthBound]]. Buzz Buzz said, and I quote, "From now on, you'll be fighting enemies sent by Giygas, as well as humans who have evil thoughts. They'll definitely make trouble during your adventure. Animals are also becoming violent due to Giygas' influence over the evil in their minds! It is the truth, so listen!" To summarize, Giygas' influence takes the evil in the minds of animals and humans and amplifies it.
 
So what if that influenced human was on the short end of the stick? What if, say, they were cheated on by a lover or were lied to and used by a supposed friend? Suppose they thought briefly of murdering that person in their anger and, after thinking over it a bit, started to embrace the thought and plan it out...
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
* Think about it: What's left for her? The Syndicate was her whole life. She has no family to go back to, and she has a pretty good life with Doc Agasa and the detective boys. This is a chance to start over and use her talents for good.
** Totally agree! I've thought about this too. I think she'd be much happier staying as Ai than going back to being Shiho.
*** Imagine yourself at 18 and turned back into a 6 years old kid. Would you want to go to school all over again? Not to mention that she's a genius, she'd be bored to death. Furthermore, she can't go and show that she's a prodigy, since then the Syndicate will know her identity right away. So, pretty much, she's gonna be pretending to be a normal person for life. Not a good life, I think.
**** She doesn't seem to exhibit anything near the same level of boredom Shinichi has as Conan, though. The social side of things (Friends like Ayumi& the boys) may serve to counteract the boredom from the academic side.
 
Line 141 ⟶ 142:
Or, at the very least, aren't as good as they'd like to say.
 
This is a simple idea. The only person who had heard of Shinichi from the Kansai area is Heiji, and Shinichi had never heard of Heiji before he showed up. If Shinichi (who is considered the better of the two) is the savior of the Japanese police force and known to be such, then why aren't other areas and countries attempting to get him to solve their cases? Thus, they are just two high school students who solved some cases and got inflated egos.
 
This also can relate to what Kazuha is thinking when she first sees Shinichi. She thinks, ''So this guy really exists?'' Please note that she is best friends with a detective who has knowledge of Kudo, and has mentioned him repeatedly. But since she never heard of him, besides (assuming) after Volume 13 of the manga, Shinichi has an inflated ego.
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
 
== One of the kami is answering a prayer Conan made when he was very young. ==
He wanted to become the world's greatest detective. This kami therefore steers Conan in the direction of imminent murders (because practice makes perfect), and intervened to let Conan and also Ai defy the odds and survive the rejuvenation process.
 
== Japan's economic crash in the early 90s was caused by so many millionaires dying in a short period of time. ==
Line 178 ⟶ 179:
*** I don't really understand your question.
** While I like this theory, Gin and Vodka aren't aware of any million to one chances, as far as I can tell Haibara is the only one aware of the secondary effect, everyone else just thinks its a poison. Gin might know better though, since he is high up in the organization (at least it appears that way) and obviously the drug was developed for other purposes than just poison. It's also possible that Agasa, the true head of the Black Organization (see below) told him about it.
* It seemed to me that the Black Org never actually wanted Shinichi dead; he just stumbled on a case and they gave him a poison which had a 1 in a million chance of de-aging someone instead of killing them. So Gin actually does believe Shinichi to be dead.
 
== Haibara is either a deliberate [[Captain Ersatz]] of [[The X-Files|Dana Scully]] or is an [[Alternate Universe]] version. ==
Think. They both have similar appearances (short, auburn hair; Scully is much older, while Haibara has been de-aged, though), they are both scientists, they both use sarcasm to deflate a co-worker's insane ideas, Haibara was affected by APTX, whereas Scully was {{spoiler|infected with the Black Oil Virus or whatever (need to check)}}, their co-worker is obsessed with something that ends up being involved with their work, then there's the [[Shipping]]... There are so many similarities, I'm waiting for the Black Oil virus to show up in [[Detective Conan]] and there being an alien invasion.
* Haibara isn't an [[Alternate Universe]] Dana Scully, Haibara is the Dana Scully.
 
== Conan & the Kaito Kid are related. ==
Line 198 ⟶ 199:
 
== Shinichi is actually making the antidotes last longer than they should. ==
All of the antidotes were only supposed to last a short time, but because of Ran he tells his body to make them continue. It's kind of like a placebo effect.
 
== Shinichi and Shiho are blood relations of Vermouth's to some degree ==
Line 207 ⟶ 208:
** Given the dynamics among the Mouris, chances are Eri gave money for "Ran's living," which of course include her tuition at Teitan.
 
== Vermouth was in New York City in 1930 at the induction of [[Baccano!|Firo]] into the Martillo Family ==
...and she drank the booze that Isaac and Miria provided.
 
Line 235 ⟶ 236:
 
== Subaru is actually... ==
A member of the KGB, but is ''not'' Bourbon. Bourbon is actually Akai, who's been [[Brainwashed and Crazy|convinced somehow]] to become Bourbon by the Black Org. Or, Subaru is both KGB/the modern Russian spy unit, and is Bourbon, but the reason why he hates Akai is that Akai was approached many years ago to be a Russian spy within the FBI and the Black Org, but he refused and killed the agent that approached him, who was a friend or blood relation of Subaru. Hence why he, as Bourbon, hates Akai more than even Gin.
 
== The reason no one's aged in however-many episodes/chapters... ==
... is because a [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]] [[A Wizard Did It|did it]]. A Time Lord could have been just plain bored and decided to see what the long-term effects of a time-perception field could be. Thus we have six hundred-plus episodes really taking place over at least a decade. However, the Time Lord's time-perception field has its targets (in this case, Conan's town, country, or even the whole world!) not noticing that time is passing, while at the same time preventing their bodies from aging. Nevertheless, technology marches on - we get cell phones, etc. The time-perception field is just preventing people from noticing that something's afoot.
* Alternately, it doesn't have to be a Time Lord. Any creature with command of space-time could be behind it.
 
Line 246 ⟶ 247:
 
== The real identity of the detective girl Sera is... ==
* A relative of Shuichi Akai. With the way Aoyama Gosho's art style looks there happens to be a lot of similar looking characters, but from a certain point of view, Sera's facial structure is similar to Shuichi's.
* Really Shuichi Akai is Sera. After being "killed" by Rena his only option to hide from the Black Organization was to change his identity and get a sex change. That's the reason Sera is so flat chested, it is because she's used to be a man. It becomes clear why "Sera" deleted the video that caught a glimpse of Haibara off the internet; it was naturally to protect the little sister of his dead lover. And why the other three FBI find "Sera" to look slightly familiar is because his real identity is Shuuichi.
** Apparently [[Jossed]] as of issue 801. {{spoiler|Sera and "Scar Akai" were seen on the same page. Of course, that's because she said she thought she saw someone she knew, and went running after him, but lost him.}} The previous theory is looking better, though... {{spoiler|Adding to the theory, she did seem to recognize the person who looks just like Shuuichi, but after losing him said it was "impossible" to have seen him anyway.}}
* A girl Shinichi met while he was in America. She stated outright that's where she is from her first introduction. Naturally she being a fellow mystery lover, she fell in love with Shinichi, but only now decides to go find him in Tokyo. She might be bi-sexual, and wouldn't mind a [[OT 3OT3]] with Ran, Shinichi, and herself.
 
== Okiya Subaru is Akai Shuuichi. ==
* Mentioned above somewhere, but needs it's own entry.
** Both Okiya and Akai give Haibara the chills she gets from members of the Organization.
*** Despite that, Conan trusts Okiya enough to let him stay at the Kudo house. "No fan of Sherlock Holmes could be bad" is ''really'' not a good explanation, <ref>What about the case where all the suspects, including the murderer, were Holmes fans?</ref> and if it's "friends close, enemies closer", he could have said so. Furthermore, Conan goes beyond letting Subaru stay at his house; he lends him the keys, asks Okiya to pick him and the kids (including Haibara) up, help out with cases a couple times, and more.
* They also just plain look similar, so that all Akai would need are glasses and a wig, or he could dye and straighten his hair. They wear similar styles of clothes, too.
* Ran seemed to think Okiya was familiar the first time she met him, having previously encountered Akai three times.
* The names in [[Detective Conan]] almost always mean something. Akai means "red", and in the "Red, White and Yellow" case, Okiya Subaru was the "red guy".
* In issue #800, Okiya says "Don't make that kind of face" to Haibara. In issue #802, she remembers Akai using the same phrase while undercover as Moroboshi Dai.
* In issue #810, Okiya says he can't force Haibara to come with him, "because of [a] promise he made her..." If he is Akai, then he could be talking about Akemi Miyano.
** Which then implies he knows who Haibara is.
* [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Okiya_is_Akai_Theory The Detective Conan Wiki has expanded this theory.]
