DCTP Forums

Which cases did you figure out before it was all revealed at the end? For me, they were "The Murder Floating in the Water Stream Restaurant" (I only figured out how the culprit reached the victim on this one, I didn't figure out the trick with the door.) and "The Alibi of the Black Dress".

I'd like to believe the lack of replies is in fact, people's answer. :p

Before discovering this forum, I had to rely on myself to figure out things in the anime. I sucked at reading the manga. I would say, there are cases, quite a few AO's, some MB's. But there's no fun in that, I like seeing how other fans think and interact with them.

Even in the manga itself, there are some clues that Conan/Heiji picked up from Ran/Kazuha/Ayumi or from the other bystanders. I guess by being involved in the community, we depend on each other and solve the cases together. I like it that way.

It all depends on how you define "solved." After watching hundreds of DC episodes, I've gotten good enough at picking up context that my suspected killer is the culprit 80-90% of the time, but I'm still terrible at guessing of the actual trick(s).

Latest ones I legit mostly solved were in the manga the tea case and the 885 case (had some problems), and the dude in casket full of apples that's been animated now, I think I got that 100% accurately right.

The one I completely figured out, including the trick, is The Scenario of the Steaming Locked Room (Episodes 597-598). But, this one was pretty easy to figure out.

I almost never figure out "everything", but I often guess the murderer based on "he is too nice, that's suspicious" or when something noticeable but apparently irrelevant happens to a character (like dropping an umbrella or spilling soup on the coat and explaining why it happened, something like that). I mean, since it was put in the plot, it can't be insignificant, there must be a reason, so the character has something to hide.

As I watch a lot of murder mysteries, I can solve some cases.
However sometimes the actual method the killer uses in Detective Conan can be really over the top and almost impossible to solve.
If I solve the case it does not ruin my enjoyment.

The tea case~. Lemons and baking soda gave me the idea of colour change due to pH change; since I'd used the same method to change purple cabbage extract from purple to blue to make an all natural blue food colouring for my cookie monster cupcakes.

First episode :3

i usually correctly guess who the killer is, and some of the tricks used but i never get to figure out everything.

i recently watched the The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall episodes... i already figured out who the killer is (though this is much of a hunch) and the motive in the first episode, but I only figured out the reason for the red wall midway the second episode (thanks to the red study table in our room, and our dirty white wall.

What pisses me off is that 90% of the cases have something to do with japanese and kanji. Whenever I try to solve one on my own there's always some puzzle involving japanese and I get stuck

I'd say that for Agasa's puns, not the cases since a lot of the cases are not kanji and Japanese based iirc.

Agasa's puns are lame anyway.

Only cases that I can think of are terrible cases anyway, in which things were too obvious (e.g. episode 6 of the anime), thus being dissatisfied.
