So about Conan's belt....

[oxen221]

I have been a bit confused lately watching the movies, it seems that Conan has more than 1 charge of football in his belt these days. It happened in movie 14 and the dimensional sniper and now the sunflower. It is my understanding that the belt only holds 1 charge at a time as professor agasa told him when he first got it. Now is it in the canon somewhere or in one of the movies that mentioned an upgrade to the belt so it holds 2 charges?

Both the Anime and Manga say the same thing

Quoting them "Conan: With this I can capture criminals, no matter how many they are.

Agasa: Nan, a couple as most." END Quote

I did not see anywhere the suggestion of only one ball, at least the way I look at it.

An Earlier Quote" Asaga: It you set the dial and push the button, you get a soccor ball"

I always believed that to mean that every time the above was done a soccer ball would be produced.

Besides, I do not think of it like a gun, needing to be refilled after shot. The belt must hold a few balls, after all it might be dangerous if Conan needed more then one ball, and needed to refill the belt. The time it took to do that might get him killed. Also as Asaga would have to be where the belt was refilled, if Conan was away from Asaga for a while, he would likely need more then one ball.

For those reasons, to me at least, it makes sense to have several balls loaded in the belt ready for use and from what I can find in both the Anime and Manga, while not proving that idea, at the same time does not disprove it.

Why doesn't anyone ask how the heck the fireworks fit inside that belt buckle for the hanabi-ball?
