Case Closed/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* According to the OVA, "Stranger in 10 Years," those two grow up just like other kids do. The only reason they never grow up in the main series is just like the reason why Ash Ketchem never physically grows up: the artist does not allow it.

== [[The Other Wiki]] refuses to call this show by its most well-known title. That...still...bugs me. Freaking idiots. ==

** Actually, the rule was introduced after the fact to justify the article name. Originally, the rule that applied was in the Japan manual of style, which said that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Japan-related_articles)&diff=220485781&oldid=220195651 names are romanized according to the most common usage], not according to the official name, up until June 20 2008. Likewise, the guideline in the anime style guide [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(anime-_and_manga-related_articles)&diff=227975712&oldid=222166128 did not require that the official name be used if some other name was more widely recognized.]

*** I have defended the ''Case Closed'' name since 2007; even though my fandom was pre-Case Closed and was not even in an English-speaking country. Wikipedia, ofter all, is supposed to be for the ''random'' English speaker, not us. Judging by the number of bookstores carrying ''Case Closed'' manga in the US, I have to say your random English speaker would be more likely to have heard of ''Case Closed'' than ''Detective Conan''. (Of course, if WP changed their definition of ''English speaker'', I may change my stand.)

*** The point is that it is ''not'' defined as "what English speakers would have heard of". In fact, when it was defined as this, it was un-defined specifically so that the Detective Conan articles could be renamed. Even if you're right and this name does happen to be the one most English speakers have heard of, the rule now doesn't say to use the name English speakers have heard of; it says to use the official name regardless of how many or how few people have heard of it. The only reason nobody's renamed Angel's Egg to In the Aftermath yet is that nobody's gotten around to doing it.

*** I'll clarify: ''Right now'', Wikipedia's policy is to use what English speakers would have heard of. However, at the point when the original question was posted, Wikipedia's policy had been changed to "official name, no matter what" and only in January 2009 was it changed back.

** Also, the series is officially called Detective Conan in some English versions outside the United States.

** I think it's to illustrate that this is a very painful process?

== A commonly raised [[It Just Bugs Me]] in [[Detective Conan]]: Kogoro has been subjected to that tranquilizer needle for hundreds of times. And no side effects? ==

** True, but another way to look at the question is through a toxicology perspective. (There's a mystery writer's guide to poisons, so the symptoms of a poison actually make sense. It has sleeping agents as one of the categories under medical poisons.) So either Kogoro, using the idea that it could be toxic, would build up an immunity (like with [[Don't Try This At Home|cobra venom]] or [[Baigar Is The Antidote|Baigar]], which is an antidote, ironically) or it would build up in his system and eventually kill him (like arsenic or lead). Now, he hasn't keeled over yet, so it may end up being the former. Now, that would be funny, and has been pointed out by other fans.

*** I think it has been brought up and I seem to remember Conan once commenting that it isn't quite as effective as it use to be.
