Close to Impossible Not-so-Real Implausible Things in DC

super intelligent persons (geniuses)
super slow persons (when I mean slow, I mean idiots)
super loyal persons (e.g. Ran)
most of Agasa's inventions
letting civilians into a crime scene
tricks done by culprits
very hard to find clues which is noticed easily by Conan
Kaitou KID
very shallow excuses for committing murder (e.g. "you RUINED the cake so i'll kill you)
jumping off high places and landing without a scratch
amazing healing abilities (one moment it's bleeding, next minute there's only a line left)
hair styles
frequent murders happening in one area


IMPOSSIBLE

Shin'ichi turning into Conan
many events that can happen in split-seconds which looked like minutes
lack of gravity

did you just compare a high school student turning into a seven year old to a lot of things that happen in real life?

There's a lot of things, but the one i can't accept at the moment is:

Spoiler:

The conan's jump on the bridge in lupin x conan, man, is there gravity there? =-P

The answer to that is TVO.

Thanks you were, cause if not i'll would be 

Yes, i know there's things that only happens on tv, but isn't it what we are talking about?

Yeah, me, too

for example the sun power skate, it can be used at night

Alright, let me comment on everything:

Super Intelligent People is possible. There was an eleven year old kid who graduated from college. I’m serious.

Super Slow People, if you mean by idiots is also possible. I doubt that they’re actually idiots, but they’re just really lazy.

Loyal people is actually slightly on the impossible side. But sometimes Ran thinks that Shinichi’s betraying her. That’s not that loyal, don’t you think?

Agasa’s inventions aren’t there to be realistic in the first place. This manga wasn’t meant to be realistic in the beginning.

Actually, civilians are let into a crime scene if they’re involved/related. And plus, aren’t civilians always there in RL anyway?

Tricks are ALWAYS done by culprits. Nowadays, though, people are just stupid.

Clues noticed by Conan is also things that can happen. After all, Kristantei can’t do it, why can’t he?

And most murderers have shallow excuses anyway.

Kaitou Kid isn’t that impossible. Just his fast changing act. But otherwise, Kaitou Kid is pretty normal.

Amazing healing abilities = concept of most anime/manga

Shinichi turning into Conan is obvious. And is the concept for the manga. The events that “happenâ€

Since Shinran made some valid points let me strengthen some...

Super Intelligent People... not so real...? OK... So you are saying Einstein, Edison, Galileo, the good people at CERN, Newton, are ALL MYTHS! OMG! My eyes have been.... wait... if they didn't exist then how do we have all that we have today? DAMN IT! And more recently... yes there was an 11 yr old kid who graduated college, and I bet he can also kick your ass, as he is a martial arts champion [sounds like something out of an anime... I know, but its true]. There are also many inventors who constantly improve things, and there are people who program things that most people can't even imagine. Just because you don't know of them...doesn't mean they don't exist.

Super slow people... can take this two ways, both exist... Idiots... Well who has ever head of someone with an IQ lower than 80... right? I mean... its not like we had this guy named GW Bush as president who was an idiot himself. Nor do we have special ed programs. Oh and if you mean physically slow... you are right... there aren't nerve debilitating diseases, nor muscle debilitating diseases... I mean its not like some famous sports player died from one and the disease was named after him [if you are too "slow" to get it look up Lou Gehrig]. Nor are there people who are just lazy, or fat, or not trained to be fast, right? [did you even think about these things when making the list]

Loyal people is debatable... And is quite frankly based upon upbringing, and culture. I'm sure you can find someone like Ran, especially if its a girl who is CONVINCED they found their true love in someone... [blame Disney for that one] Most people... yea... not very loyal though...

Not saying anything more about Agasa's inventions...

How much do you know about crime scenes? Out of curiosity? Here are some things that you should know, since that is obviously a very silly assumption... Naturally people who are involved are allowed on. Then we have people who might be hired to investigate privately. Naturally these people are given police liaisons to ensure they do not disturb the scene in any way, if the crime is under police investigation... And if you notice in Conan the only people let on are Kogoro, and Heiji, and formerly Shinichi. And believe it or not... the police also hire such people to help with investigations... known as specialists. Say for codes, or patterns. And Heiji's father is the chief of Osaka police. And you will notice that more often than not Conan is not allowed anywhere near the scene unless he is directly involved, most times he is thrown off, and the detective boys are never allowed on. Conan most times sneaks on. Unless there is some special reason, like in that one where kazuha and heiji competed, and the scene was already logged and it didn't matter much anymore...

Tricks, as in to hide the murder? Ha! People will ALWAYS attempt to hide their wrong doings. Because... guess what? THEY DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT! Naturally if they think of a method of murder that is organized and thought out they do it [aka a trick]. And guess what? the police created a term for it... its known as a FIRST DEGREE MURDER... and PRE-MEDITATED MURDER... Hmm... I wonder why they would create such terms if people didn't plan out murders...?

There are people who notice details better than others. It is what they are looking for... And its become easier these days to find such clues thanks to modern tech. Frankly Conan is very out of date.

Word of the day: Sociopath: a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. In other words, someone who will kill for NO reason. Then there are people who mistakenly kill and try to cover up the murder. Then there are the people who think there is no other alternative. All of which are touched upon in Conan... Quite frankly most reasons for murder, as Shinran said, are really bad anyway...

Kaitou Kid... well now... He is a magician, and with the exception of Akako... and that gem he is searching for... Everything about Kaitou Kid is pretty realistic. There are people who can do magic that well... Given, most people wouldn't announce their future crimes or use magic. But there are people who can imitate voices really well...

Amazing healing abilities? Ok... yea... might not be the most realistic the way they depict them. But depending on the size and depth of the cut, it doesn't always take that long for clotting to occur. If it did, many people would die might quick.

As for the rest... Well... I'm not going into the impossible things...
