Line 76:
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: Usually averted, as Conan is down-to-Earth and stays true to its 'no magic or super natural' setting. One of the openings, though, shows Kaitou Kid [[Impossible Thief|''stealing the moon.'']] Yeah, it's meant to be symbolic, but still.
* [[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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115102043/http://dctp.ws/V72-Reader/V72-6Read/A3.html cautions one of the others on the scene against sniffing] because he's an "amateur".
{{quote|'''Conan:''' The almond scent is the smell of gas that results from the potassium cyanide reacting with the acid from her gastric fluids!! If you breathe in too much of it, you'll die!!
'''Everybody Else:''' ...
Line 133:
*** One episode has a murder victim leave a "dying message" via cell phone {{spoiler|by pressing the "Memo" button to record the incoming call from his murderer gloating over him as he dangled from the window outside his apartment. (Most American cell phones do not have this feature.)}}
*** In one confrontation with the Black Organization, Conan overhears the touch tones as Vermouth emails her boss. {{spoiler|They correspond to notes from a Japanese folk song.}} For a while afterward, whenever he sees someone using a cell phone {{spoiler|particularly when calling numbers in Tottori, whose area code has the same notes}} he gets a [[Flash Back]] of Vermouth.
** In manga volume #770, [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115102513/http://dctp.ws/V73-Reader/V73-8Read/V73-8/File770_010.png Conan is shown to carry two identical cell phones], and has Shinichi "call him" on one for a deduction while doing the voice through the other. (Of course, the main reason he carries two is to be able to ''answer'' the phone as either Shinichi or Conan, depending on who gets called.)
** Cell phones are also frequently used as remote detonators for bombs. ("Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages"; the non-serial movies ''Captured in Her Eyes'' and ''Countdown to Heaven'')
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Together with [[Art Evolution]]; what started as a cliche mystery comedy started getting serious in its third year of serialization.
* [[Character Filibuster]]: Ai and Hiroki were used for such purposes in the [[Non-Serial Movie]] ''Phantom of Baker Street''. It's kind of jarring to see the latter switching between a [[Woobie]] in the two ends of the movie and this in the middle.
* [[Chaste Hero]]: While it may just be part-[[Single-Target Sexuality]] for Ran and part-[[Squick]], since the girls involved either were or had the body of seven year olds, it's still worth noting that the only thing Conan noticed upon running into a women's' hot spring where Ayumi & Haibara had already stripped down was the male dead body. Also, upon realizing why the one who was [[Older Than They Look|older than she looked]] was upset about the incident, Conan thought [
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: Movie 7 (Crossroad in the Ancient Capital) starts out with a flashback to when Heiji saw {{spoiler|his first love, a girl in a kimono, under a flowering tree, with blossoms floating around her}}. And seeing how {{spoiler|[[Oblivious to Love]]}} Heiji is, you can pretty much guess who it is.
** The ''[[Lupin III]] vs. Detective Conan'' TV special involved a blossoming cherry tree as a major plot point {{spoiler|related to a double murder that takes place during the show's opening act}}.
Line 621:
* [[Tranquillizer Dart]]: Conan's wrist-watch tranquilizer needle gun. The victim barely has time to mumble a few words before keeling over. So far, very few characters have proven resistant to it. Gin shoots himself in the arm to overcome the sedation with a rush of pain and adrenaline and [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist|Inspector Zenigata]] from the crossover with ''[[Lupin III]]'' goes down quickly, but is so tough that the effect wears off in no time. Both times, this catches Conan completely off-guard.
* [[Tsundere]]: Ran is a Type B Tsundere, meaning she's normally in deredere ("hot" or "sweet") mode but can rapidly change to tsuntsun ("cold" or "bitter"). Kazuha gravitates more towards the Type A (tsuntsun, "cranky") type around Heiji.
** In "The Steam Murder" (issue 722 of the manga, episode 597 of the anime), when an actress who played a kind female lead in the original ''Kamen Yaiba'' series brushes the Detective Boys off coldly, Genta wonders aloud, [
* [[Undead Tax Exemption]]: Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara not only have assumed names, but they can even use those identities to attend public schools and, given the show's nature, haven't even have their legal identities suspected by the police officers they meet oh-so-frequently...
** But subverted in that Conan's lack of a true identity and, thus, a passport is brought up as a plot device whenever the story requires him to travel to another country (as in the ''[[Lupin III]]'' crossover special and a manga story involving a trip to London).
