Hmmm... I'm more inclined to think that it was free willingly, because otherwise she would not be able to stay in the BO.Furthermore we can't be sure whether she took it by force or freewillingly.
in my head^^
It's possible but difficult to imagine that the leader(s) of the B.O. would give the gem to Sharon before using it themselves. Yeah there is the possibility they wanted to use someone as a guinea pig but logic says you would use a grunt rather than a high level member like Vermouth who's obviously a lose canon within the B.O.Ai-chan wrote: Ok, its a little late for me to be posting, but... well...

Yeah, I know its out there, but If I don't put it out there, it's just
What if she were a specimen rather than a test subject? That is, she used the gem before the Org. even knew about her. Atsushi was studying her to see how the gem had affected her (not necessarily at the behest of the Org., or with the Org. even knowing what he was really doing with her).TheBlind wrote:It's possible but difficult to imagine that the leader(s) of the B.O. would give the gem to Sharon before using it themselves.

I don't read the Kid series regularly so I don't know the full details of when Pandora Gem was found by the Grey Org. but you have to keep in mind that DC establishes that Sharon Vineyard has been a B.O. member for a long time. She was seen by Jodie carrying out an assassination when Jodie was still a child and she is the "favorite" of the boss, and you don't become the favorite of the leader of a huge org. overnight. So the chances that Gem was found before Vermouth became a high member are low BUT the other possibility that Atsushi used it on her without the Org. knowing is completely possible.(With the current information we have now of course)

As far as Aoyama's shown, no one has found the gem recently. If Vermouth used it first, and the gem myth is literally true (and Aoyama didn't decide to retcon it when he associated Vermouth with Toichi), she'd be very, very old (around 10,000 years). I suppose she also could've found the gem and brought it to Atsushi to see it there were a way to use it without waiting for the comet.TheBlind wrote:I don't read the Kid series regularly so I don't know the full details of when Pandora Gem was found by the Grey Org. but you have to keep in mind that DC establishes that Sharon Vineyard has been a B.O. member for a long time.

Well if you assume that the Vermouth seen by Jodie was not a disguise(very likely) and the Sharon Vineyard that went to the original kid was also not a disguise(Very likely) then it's possible that the comet passed by earth in between those two events. But again I don't know if this would fit with the Kid time line.

ETA:Reference for Pandora/comet myth. (Don't know about the translation's accuracy.)
(The series was up to volume 20s back then). Now I've graduated from university as a mathematician, working in a brain research lab, on the aging of neurons... Amazing how much Conan changed my life. (Not to mention that I learned Japanese just to read this series! And did some scanlations too). (Sorry this is off topic, but the discussion brings back alot of good memories. Wonder if anyone had a similar experience?
