4869

[ten]

I wanted to know if any of you had any theories as why the name of the poison was was chosen as APTX 4869 and who chose it...

  in Ran's Suspicion we find out that 4869 (shi ha ro ku) also means Sherlock, as in Sherlock Holmes, and 4869 is the pin to conan's cell phone

so who picked APTX 4869 for the name? (Haibara hasn't given any indication to being a sherlock holmes fan that I can recall, so someone else who is a fan of Holmes fan? -- Okiya Subaru maybe hehe ?)

What are your ideas?

The Black Org it self give sherlock name for the drugs......

remember when ai try to crack the BO's Laptop that Picaso left... the password is conected with detective name.... (shelling Ford) the earlier name for Sherlock Holmes

the drugs it self name Apotoxcin 4869 Means Sherlock

yeah the black organization did... and that just suggests more that one of their members is a sherlock holmes fan....

but who else that likes sherlock holmes might be in the Black org? Or is there another reason perhaps for choosing Sherlock Holmes besides that a member is a fan...?

What if the BO was started originally by Sir AC Doyle?

[xpon]

As far as i can remember... Gin have a skill and knowledge as a detective....

just like when they meet with conan in the station ... (Manga Vol 37 File 8 - Vol 38 File 1)

if it was started by Doyle then I guess the boss would likely be a modern day Irene Adler (Yoko-chan! hehe)

actually if you talk about the history of the BO... in V19-9 Haibara is thinking to herself...

"Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."

So that is already a given then that the Black Organization has been around for at least 50 years... =)  for how much longer they have been around is an interesting question

Hahahaha... That's interesting, to say the least. Doyle did invent the "Criminal Mastermind" archetype with Moriarty . Maybe Doyle himself was the true Napoleon of Crime...

No, no, Jd-! "It's this poisonous atmosphere."

If Aoyama used Sir Arthur Conan Doyle works a lot.. would he use any of Agatha Christie works?

[kat1214young]

Ir's pretty much because Aoyama is making a detective manga and his charaters and some character names or even restaurant are based from detectives, then there's no reason that he won't use these detective-based theme even for the BO

I just hope its something more creative then some secret group formed after WWII founded upon nazi gold or something =P

Yup.. And Sherlock Holmes is A World Known Detective....

I think Aoyama wouldn't use such a sentimental Politic Issue ..
