Files 743-752 Discussion Thread

If this is the case, then we're certainly in for a very long arc.

That's actually how it's described by Aoyama, in the beginning of File 743.  "A super long series"

[Chekhov MacGuffin]

I don't think religion and the BO have anything to do with one another. The plot has had nothing to do with religion, nor have there been many (any?) references to religions other than typical Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism. If religion has a part in this, it's probably only for this case.

I also don't think the Syndicate has anything to do with this case. It isn't their style to publicly announce themselves and reveal one of their operatives by handing out random sheets of code to children all over London. If anything non-romance plot related happens, it's going to be on the return trip to Japan when Shinichi somehow winds up in a pickle with his passport/antidote wearing off too early/he drops it.

Fair enough, I forgot about that. What I really meant to say is there isn't something like a Da Vinci code going on.

I'm reading the Book of Revelation right now and came across something that actually gave me the chills:

And the name of the star is called Wormwood

You probably have no idea what I'm talking about so let me elaborate: I'm reading the German version and there it says:

Und der Name des Sterns heißt Wermut.
(And the name of the star is called Vermouth /wormwood)
Wermut is both the name of the plant and the spirit made from it (it's originally from Germany, vermouth is just the French spelling)

This passage is found when the seventh seal is about to be broken.

Could someone check whether the Japanese version allows for a similiar reading? Edit: 苦よもã

First off, Davinci Code is awesome,
2nd.... I'd hate it if this turn out to be a religious reference from the beginning..... I'm not Christian so I don't have those clues and besides Nagoya, I don't think Japan has large region where Christian is main religion... so I don't see why Gosho need to do that...

Nor are 99,9% of the Japanese population. Still, Christian mythology (yes, I just called the bible mythology) is fairly well-known around the globe, even if you're not Christian yourself.
And most Christian won't be able to tell you what's happening in the Apocalypse, either.

Agreed, and I would dislike if the case is about Christianity, 'cuz most of the poeple doesn't get the real concept of things like this

Should have seen that coming.  Thanks HADAA

It's only been 2 chapters and we're already like 31 pages here..

I'm sure it would provides a good laugh when the arc completes with a lame ending...

Spoiler:

I've got some news about file 745, which will appear this wednesday. It looks like Shinichi will show up in it.

Here's a picture from that scene:

I've seen that scan as well. Here's some more:

I'm surpised that we're seeing Shinichi this early if it's supposed to be an XXXL arc. That would of course give Ai mor time to think of a way to bring Shinichi another pill.

Shinichi's head is smoking in the second picture (of him entering through the door).
