DCTP Forums

One thing I like about DC/CC is how often at the end of cases, you end up feeling bad for the murderer and sometimes despising the victim. That;s one of the things that makes it different from most American crime/mystery fiction, IMO.

Like the topic title says, which victim in any of the DC cases did you absolutely despise after you found out what they did?

Personally, I feel the two teachers from the ski lodge case in Volumes 14-15 were terrible people. They murdered a young girl to keep her quiet about how they were rigging entrance exams. And considering the fact that even though the murderer knew they did it, Yonehara-sensei may not have had concrete evidence that ould convict them, it makes me wonder...if they deserved what they got.

Yeah, that's pretty despicable. Actually, funny you should bring this up, because recently I saw an episode (196 - The Invisible Weapon: Ran's First Investigation), and...

I don't remember every single murderer in DC, but also I don't remember anyone who left me with the feeling that the guy deserve a worse punishment...

EDIT: I remembered one! don't know episode number,but the guy that murdered another so that the star or wathever he found in space had his name and only his name. THAT'S YOUR REASON FOR KILLING SOMEBODY!?

I definitely agree with Beckclub, those teachers killed a hyping child. Because they were rigging entrance exams. Seriously.

Probably we could easily limit this topic to the first 200-250 episodes. After that, almost every murderer had a fairly understandable reason.

The Holmes Freak case.

I'm not trying to argue about this, as it fictional, but: There's NO understandable reason for a murder.

Oh yeah, some of the victims deserved to die. Sometimes I end up feeling bad for the murderer actually.

Really?
Let's imagine you're in Germany, around 1940, and there's a man with a strange mustache having a speech with an even stranger voice. He's wearing brown clothes and has a red-white-black brassard around his arm, showing a "+" with one line (directed clockwise) added to every end.
(If you haven't understood who I'm talking about His initials are the same as Agasas/Haibaras.)
Sure you wouldn't murder him?

Nope.

Also, Hiroshi AGASA and Ai HAIBARA's initials are the same only when one is reversed.

I'm sure. To make it short my idea of no-one can kill no-one: I'm Christian.

you guys are missing the point

he almost HAD to had not meant to say "after that" since that contradicts what he said in the same sentence. The most despicable victims are generally in the first 200-250 episodes.

BTW: I've liked Gosho's realistic display of how increasingly pathetic the motives of people are compared to 10 years ago.

LOL. So true 

the most despicable villain in DC is gin. he made shinichi turn into conan

But then this show would be not as interesting. Maybe we should thank him.
