''Detective Conan'', released as ''Case Closed'' in English, is a ''very'' [[Long Runners|long-running]] anime and manga series. [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=266 Seriously, with over 700 episodes], [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?type.web=1&type.unknown=1&type.tvspecial=1&type.tvseries=1&type.ova=1&type.other=1&type.musicvideo=1&type.movie=1&show=animelist&settings=1222&orderby.rating=1.2&orderby.name=2.1&orderby.eps=0.2&noalias=1&do.update=1 it's currently at 11th place in terms of total number of anime episodes,] and having surpassed 800 issues, it's in [[wikipedia:List of manga series by volume count#Manga list|22nd place]] in terms of manga volumes.

* [[Bitter Almonds]]: Conan can smell that smell from cyanide victims' mouths.

** In manga file #757, Conan points out that there's an element of [[Fingertip Drug Analysis]] to this: he smells an almond scent coming from a corpse's lips, but [http://dctp.ws/V72-Reader/V72-6Read/A3.html cautions one of the others on the scene against sniffing] because he's an "amateur".

'''Conan:''' <[[Sweat Drop]]> At least, [[Obfuscating Stupidity|that's what they said in the detective drama]]... }}

** He then goes on to [[Genre Savvy|point out the difference between the smell of bitter and sweet almonds]], as mentioned on the trope page.

* [[Just One Little Mistake]]: Literally almost every episode ends with this, immediately preceding the [[Motive Rant]].

* [[Just the Way You Are]]: ''Very'' cruelly applied in the Karaoke Murder Case. An [[Idol Singer]] is murdered by his scorned ex-girlfriend, who dumped her because he turned psychologically abusive to her after she had a nose job. It turns out that not only he liked her better when she was just a sweet [[Girl Next Door]], but the woman had specifically gotten plastic surgery ''to please him'', which he could never forgive her and himself for.

** ''And'' she didn't even get a hint when he made her sing ''Rudolph The Red '''Nose'''d Reindeer''. Conan categorized this as [[Poor Communication Kills]].

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Heiji Hattori's usage is most noted by characters, also Maria from episode 460. Also, the Black Organization agent Tequila is also mentioned to have spoken in Kansai-ben.

* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Conan is subjected to this in ''Magic File 4'' by a couple of high school fangirls. Keep in mind that Conan is actually a high schooler himself.

* [[Master of Delusion]]: Ran almost figured it out in the first volume, with many other close calls. Hundreds of chapters later and she's still clueless. Though, to be fair, ''every time'' Ran has figured out that Conan is Shinichi, Conan has had help from others in on the secret (as well as the otherwise-realistic universe's natural [[Weirdness Censor]]--who would believe that a high-schooler could de-age ten years given any even ''vaguely'' plausible alternative?) to convince her she was imagining things. Ran nearly got it right the first time, though...

** For that matter, she had a similar theory the second or third time time, too ("I thought you needed to hide and had Dr. Agasa create some kind of shrinking drug.") prompting Conan to remark to the audience about how close she got.

* [[Master of Disguise]]: Five: Shinichi's [[Hot Mom]] Yukiko, former prize-winning actress and Black Organization member Vermouth who actually trained with Yukiko; the Kaitou Kids who [[Canon Welding|also starred in]] ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' -- [[Like Father, Like Son|Kuroba Kaito currently]] and Kuroba Toichi formerly (who trained Vermouth and Yukiko), and Phantom Lady who trained Kuroba Toichi -- and may have married him.

* [[Take That]]: The sixth movie, ''Phantom of Baker Street'', seems to be one geared at how Japanese society promotes conformity.

* [[Talking in Your Sleep]]: Richard Moore, after drinking himself to sleep in episode 6.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: When Conan runs into [[Minami Takayama]], his voice actor. [[Lampshade Hanging|It's even pointed out that they sound alike.]]

** Also, any scene with Takagi and Genta, considering they have the same seiyuu. (His name: [[The Danza|Wataru Takagi.]] Mad props for having an official manga character named after you!)
