Case Closed: Difference between revisions

** Eri's assistant also appeared in the anime before being introduced in the manga.

* [[Canon Welding]]: ''Detective Conan'' has the tendency to merge with the universe shared by his previous works, especially ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' and, to a lesser extent, a [[Dragon Ball]] clone called ''[[Yaiba]]!''.

:On the other hand, ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' (at least the manga version) is definitively ''in'' the same universe of ''[[Yaiba]]!''; the characters went to the same school called Ekoda, and the ''Detective Conan'' OVA Conan vs Kaitou Kid vs Yaiba was originally a ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' story arc that followed the same basic plot outline but without Conan's involvement (and without being [[All Just a Dream]], either): Kaito attempts to steal a magic sword, just before he found out what he was meant to be going after. Not to say, Aoko's gossip mill friend Keiko's "very reliable source" is Sayako, the main girl in ''[[Yaiba]]!''.

** Gosho did several of Magic Kaito chapters that are directly linked to Cases in Detective Conan. First Contact! is a flashback Kaito has right before encountering Conan when attempting to steal the black star. When Kid returns Ryoma's Treasures a thief called Phantom lady is mentioned. Next two chapters of Magic Kaito the next year explain exactly how Kid and Phantom Lady know each other.

* [[Red String of Fate]]: ''The Time-Bombed Skyscraper'' - confronted with a [[Wire Dilemma]], Ran can't bring herself to cut the red one because of the association with the String of Fate (which is a good thing, because earlier the bomber had overheard her talking about how red was her favorite color and rigged it to go off on the red wire).

* [[Retirony]]: A high diver in "The Last Dive" / "Sports Club Murder Case".

* [[Revenge by Proxy]]: In the ''June Bride'' case, a suspect poisons his new bride to get revenge on her policeman father, who'd neglected to notice that the perp he'd been chasing had run over the suspect's mother (and she then bleeds to death later). Subverted in that {{spoiler|the bride found out that the suspect was the Childhood Friend she had a crush on, guessed that he'd attempt something like this, ''and'' willingly drank the poison to show that she had suffered a lot after their separation. And apparently, once he was released from jail, he got her forgiveness and properly got married.}}

** Another in the London case, in which [[Mad Bomber|Hades]] {{spoiler|goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against champion tennis player Minerva Glass for losing a match on which he bet all the money need to pay for his mother's life-saving operation. All the money was lost and [[It's Personal|Hades' mother died]]. In turn, Hades plants a bomb in a gift lent to Minerva's mother during the Wimbledon Championship that will be triggered at the end of the game so that Minerva will lose her mother in return for Hades losing his}}.

* [[Say My Name]]: I can't even count. Latest instance was {{spoiler|Ayumi calling conan after he passed out in "Vermilion Bird"}}.

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Everyone who has them, including Conan.

** The [[Chekhov's Gun]] from episode 12--''[[The Syndicate]]'' killing their [[Mook]]—was removed in the anime, by changing it to generic-evil-guy-seriously-hurting-but-not-killing-a [[Mook]]. However, Aoyama fired the gun by making the murder victim a [[Red Herring Shirt]] and the [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Sister]] of a new character. Result? [[Continuity Porn]] was applied by killing her ''again'', this time by [[The Syndicate]], in a [[Filler]] 116 episodes later. [[Lampshade Hanging|A lampshade was hung]] by Ran asking Conan if they had seen that character any time before. {{spoiler|This arc is the Billion Yen Heist. It was pertinent because Akemi Miyano had to die under the organization's hands to bring her little sister Shiho aka Ai in, because she is Ai's [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Elder Sister]].}} This also resulted in the series running in a very [[Restricted Expanded Plot]] so as to prevent [[Continuity Snarl]] by preventing any of the writer's [[Chekhov's Gun]]s to be removed.

** If that wasn't gratuitous enough, see this: in episode 4 (involving the bomb on the train), the villains were supposed to be [[Those Two Bad Guys]], and in the manga Conan overheard their name as Gin and Vodka. Again, in the anime they were changed to some other [[Long Coat Badass]]es. The anime writers didn't even try to [[Hand Wave]] that; Gin and Vodka's names were ''inserted'' into Conan's memory in the second season!
