Case Closed: Difference between revisions

* [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger]]: The exposition sequence at the beginning of the movies always end with Conan pointing at the camera to deliver his ultimatum. ''There is only one truth!''

** Also, the detectives often point dramatically at the suspect when making their accusation. (Especially Mouri Kogoro, who is usually wrong.)

* [[Gratuitous English]]: This series has its share of Caucasian FBI/CIA agents and American members of [[The Syndicate]], yet when they speak English, they speak Engrish. In fact, Heiji Hattori speaks far better English than any supposedly-american character in the show (save for a few noteworthy exceptions who ''do'' speak [[Surprisingly Good English]]). Also, the famous "Need Not To Know" in the fourth [[Non-Serial Movie]].

** "A secret makes a woman woman." (Granted when Vermouth says it it sounds more like "ooman", but I digress.)

* [[It Only Works Once|It Only Works Once Per Episode At Most]]: Conan's tranquilizer-needle wristwatch only has one shot, which means Conan has to save it until he really needs it. Sometimes Conan uses the watch early in the mystery (or, less frequently, misses his shot or the watch gets damaged) only to discover that the next time he needs to use it he's already shot his one bolt (and he must then work by the slower method of dropping hints or else find some other way to knock Kogoro out).

* [[It Runs in The Family]]: Shinichi's father is the mystery writer who does not investigate because he is [[Brilliant but Lazy]]; Heiji's father is a well-known police investigator; Ai's parents were scientists; and even Ran's parents were highly proficient in martial arts. This made the [[Author Filibuster]] in the sixth [[Non-Serial Movie]] pretty weak, as Nozawa borrowed the mouths of Ai and Hiroki (whose father is also a proficient programmer) to do that.
