Interesting thought. Diana might somehow be related to the Glass clan (because of her name, mainly) and thus to this case as a whole. Kogoro stayed behind and maybe we will see him doing some actual detecting.

That's how Aoyama has always shown Conan's transformation to Shin'ichi and vice versa in the manga.

Yep habara should note that the antidote causes the body to produce steam. :P

It kinda makes sense if he goes from Shinichi to Conan (all that mass has to go somewhere) but the other way round?

You know, aside from the main case, there is something I want dealt with for this arc as far as Shinichi x Ran is concerned.  I want Shinichi to tell Ran why he's keeping his distance from her.  I want him to straight up tell her that he is in serious trouble and that hanging around her would endanger her life...that he investigated something that got him into trouble.  He doesn't even have to get into the whole BO thing, just stick with that.  I'm sure even Ran would get why she doesn't get to see Shinichi much anymore if he said something like that.  Sure she'll still worry, but at least she'll have a little peace of mind.

I think it's Minerva and Apollo Glass's blind, Sherlock-Holmes-fan mother. Other people favor Yukiko or Shiho. I doubt it's Shiho because it doesn't make sense for Ai to take the risk of turning into an adult.

I thinks that's actually a likely scenario. Gosho said this arc would be fairly decisive; and if it ends with just a kiss, he will have some explaining to do. Telling her that he's Conan would make it difficult for them to continue to live under the same roof, but he might hint towards the BO.

That's possible, but I'm looking at the long-term and going with Yukiko.  Mother Glass might progress this story/case, but what about France?  Gosho doesn't gather data on site for something as minor as the Tour de France.  He gathers it so he knows how to draw the scenery, and what the general layout of an area is.  This, combined with the arc being called the "Europe Chapter" instead of London, Britain, or UK, definitely seems to show that our pint-sized hero will be going to Paris next.  To do that, he'll need a catalyst.  Yukiko is the most likely and probable one to fulfill that role.

True dat. Has Gosho only been to London and Paris? I thought he had visited Lyon at some point. Coincidentally, the Interpol headquarters are in Lyon.

Let's not forget that Conan has expressed his desire to visit Dartmoor and the Reichenbach falls. At the moment, I don't even see what he would do in Paris.
(Sidenote: Calling it the Europe doesn't necessarily mean they'll be going to any other countries. It might just as well be a pars pro toto)

OK, Google translate isn't much help. :-\ But at least I know that it seems to mention Kogoro helping with the case and something about parents.

...UNLESS Diana goes ape and like, "Ooh how I love to hear your detective stories, I wish I could hear more! But I'm going to France today! OH -- WHY don't you visit me at my OTHER house in Paris??"

(hmm. not likely. i hope)

I'm hoping that the mysterious woman and Minerva Glass's mother, AND that she's somehow linked to the BO! she's properly attired in black after all ;) or maybe a BO member could be in Diana's little dinner party..
