LOL, now that was brilliant. Thank you RellikRellik wrote: So er.....you're saying that ConanXAi would make a good couple? You gotta be kidding me!!! I mean seriously (no offence Haibara fans) Haibara is a girl that has brains, but a complete emo who likes hiding in her room on a pc trying to find a cure to APTX and making Conan a test subject without a care. To Conan she is just a way to turn back to Shinichi and marry Ran. In my opinion, they dont make a good match. Whether as ShinichiXRan, they have been together all their life and can communicate together easier since they understand each other even though it looks like they quarrel alot and Ran is no burden to Shinichi/Conan and shes actually doing her best to wait for Shinichi to come back....sometimes I dont even think Shinichi deserves Ran.

Whaaat. That's pretty judgmental of you. I think the characterisation of Haibara (which you have conveniently stereotyped) is great. She's the unrequited love interest.Rellik wrote: So er.....you're saying that ConanXAi would make a good couple? You gotta be kidding me!!!

Haibarakudo made the post you were mocking, not H...Haibara. I know, it's hard sometimes to tell Haibara fans apart...Rellik wrote: just wanted to make point about how ur last post sounds really irritating to RanXShinichi ppl
Is this supposed to be an outstanding achievement? In fact, she was only able to solve 1 or 2-ish cases during the whole series, and that's why you can remember them so well. Even Kogoro, I believe, has solved more cases by himself.Introuble wrote: Oh Ran has a lot of brains in fact she solved a entire case 343-344.
And since when is "being emo" a bad thing? I think Gosho-sensei made her character just the way it should be. What? Is she supposed to be smiling happilly and acting all lovey-dovey after her sister's death and after being forced to make a poison, etc?! Or is she supposed to act as a selfish crybaby just like Ran? At least, Haibara's trying hard to help Conan. Let me remind you that HE is the one who keeps wishing and asking her to make the cure for his and Ran's sake. How can this make him just "a test subject without a care"?!Rellik wrote: Haibara is a girl that has brains, but a complete emo who likes hiding in her room on a pc trying to find a cure to APTX and making Conan a test subject without a care.
In fact, your sentence here could have been right if you had the kindness to take off the word "just"; because, and it's plain obvious, Haibara means much more to Conan than "just" a way to get the cure. Yes, maybe he's not in love with her but he does have feelings for her and cares about her. Now if you wanna ignore that, it's your absolute right, but there's evidence.Rellik wrote: To Conan she is just a way to turn back to Shinichi and marry Ran.
Just because they've known each other since always, it doesn't mean they can understand each other. To be able to understand a person, you need to, at least, have a decent level of intelligence AND maturity. Unfortunately, I don't see Ran have both those qualities in good enough proportions. And, in my opinion, this kind of "love" is so childish; it's like falling in love with the first girl/boy you've ever known, that's just too easy and uninteresting... but then again, it's just my opinion.Rellik wrote: Whether as ShinichiXRan, they have been together all their life and can communicate together easier since they understand each other even though it looks like they quarrel alot and Ran is no burden to Shinichi/Conan and shes actually doing her best to wait for Shinichi to come back....
Why? Because he didn't tell her about the Organization? But he's hiding it all for her own safety. Maybe you shoukd reverse your sentence the other way... yeah.Rellik wrote: sometimes I dont even think Shinichi deserves Ran.
I'm not gonna be as decent as some Ran fans and start stereotyping them, but I suggest you all get this once for all: NOT all Haibara fans want to see an AiXConan ending. As far as I'm concerned, I love AiXConan (as friends and more...), but I've changed my mind a long time ago and am not interested in a AiXConan ending anymore, not only because it's plain obvious that Gosho won't make it end this way, but also because I want a more intriguing ending for Ai, not just a pathetic happy-ending.Nyarl wrote: I know, it's hard sometimes to tell Haibara fans apart...![]()
Solving a case with a Holmes style deduction without hints from Conan is something Haibara herself hasn't done.

He's not protecting her with the secret. This has been obvious since Ran put her body between BO guns and Haibara, and was re-emphasized in the Kir capture and release stories. We also know from the suicide attempt that Haibara herself thinks that the Org. would just assume her associates knew too much, so her claim that Ran mustn't know because she would be killed if the Org. knew she knew is hypocrisy.Girl19 wrote: Why?

Can someone explain this sentence for me?mam wrote: best to wait for Shinichi to come back....sometimes I dont even think Shinichi deserves Ran.
As you say, Ai&conan make a more interesting relationship than shiran.Xela wrote:Can someone explain this sentence for me?mam wrote: best to wait for Shinichi to come back....sometimes I dont even think Shinichi deserves Ran.
It´s a statement I hear often from RanXShinichi-fans and to me it sounds like they are rather shipping Ran´s "awesomeness" than the pairing itself. Ran gets her great love confession and will forgive Shinichi for being a jerk, even though he doesn´t really deserve her at all? Sorry, but that sounds like totally leaving Shinichi´s feelings out of the picture to me.
Yes, Ran is having a hard time waiting for Shinichi, but his situation certainly isn´t something to be happy about, too. I wouldn´t be in a good mood if there´s a chance that I will have to spend the rest of my life with a different identity... and if I was hurting the one I love without meaning to.
The decision not to tell her anything was made in the beginning and I agree with everyone who says that it´s kinda worn out now. His current reason could be fear of rejection, for example. Which is quite understandable, in my opinion.
As for the "he doesn´t deserve her"-part: Shinichi would do practically everything for Ran (I thought the "I would rather have her forget about me than seeing her cry again"-thing was truly heartbreaking) and seems to care much more about her feelings than his own. So why doesn´t he deserve her? Just because he made a mistake and is afraid of losing her?
Shinichi isn´t some asshole who is having a good time with another girl while making Ran wait on purpose- like she believes so sometimes.
About AiXConan... I really like how they interact with each other and the friendship that developed between them. It´s not true to say that she is just the one who makes the antidote for him.
And I also think that it is the more interesting relationship. RanXShinichi or ShinichiXRan was clear from the beginning- she loves him, he loves her. Ai and Conan grew from sorta-enemies to allies and to friends. There´s no point in denying that they care about each other.
(I apologise for my English...)
By the way, not Ran is dumb, rather Shinichi and co. are too smart. Just think about it.

If i remenber correctly, the Castle case, a little after haibara first appear, she figure out the false old lady identity, when conan desappear, and we all know that haibara is not the kind of drawning attention on her person, not in that way. First because contrary to conan who face appear on media, the organisation know her child-face. Two she is not detective she is scientist, which is an achievement for her young ageNyarl wrote:Solving a case with a Holmes style deduction without hints from Conan is something Haibara herself hasn't done.

Personally, I'd like to see Ran find out that Shin'ichi has been putting her and her father in danger selfishly and reject him in the end rather than forgive him, though that's probably even less likely than Aoyama killing her off.
That was much more of an adventure story than a Holmes style deduction story. All Haibara needed to do to identify the doppleganger was identify the gender of corpse of the person who left the rather straight forward message that warned of the double, it wasn't a multi-layered deduction. Not saying that Ran would have even gotten past the secret door (at least as quickly), or that Haibara doesn't have a good record independently solving part of a multi-faceted mystery (she's also tracked down a serial arsonist by looking for a pattern in the arsons), but it's not really the same thing.haibaraai4869 wrote:If i remenber correctly, the Castle case, a little after haibara first appear, she figure out the false old lady identity, when conan desappear, and we all know that haibara is not the kind of drawning attention on her person, not in that way. {...}Nyarl wrote:

Funny how, after watching all these episodes, you still don't get that Haibara isn't the type to draw attention on her. She, countless times, finds the culprit's identity and often gets many hints even before Conan notices them. Just because she doesn't make a "deduction show", it doesn't mean that she's unable to, she just isn't the type to do so. Besides, as someone said above, she's a (genius) scientist, yet she can figure out hard puzzles and without Conan's hints. Conan, on the other hand, is a great detective but he doesn't know as much as Haibara at sciences.Nyarl wrote: Solving a case with a Holmes style deduction without hints from Conan is something Haibara herself hasn't done.

"Her" claim?! This had been, since ever, Conan's claim before it was Haibara's claim. Conan decided, way before Haibara's appearance, that he wouldn't let Ran know, in any way, about the organisation's existence. And how can this be "hypocrisy"? Haibara isn't a bad person, she would never tolerate Ran or anyone else to be hurt because of her. Just like in Episode 345, she was ready to die just to save Kudo from Vermouth. And by the way, the only ones that know about Ran's appearence that night were Vermouth and Calvados. And since he died, the only one left is Vermouth, and we all know she won't say a word about it. So yes, as long as she doesn't know about the organisation's whereabouts, I think Ran's out of danger. It's not hypocrisy, they really are trying to protect her, obviously.Nyarl wrote: He's not protecting her with the secret.

Haibara fans often bash Ran because Ran fans always bash Haibara. Funny but, it's a reciprocal thing. Almost all Ran fans (not all of them, but almost) hate Haibara, maybe because they idolize Ran too much and can't bear to see Conan with another girl, trying to help her and befriend her. lol It's silly and childish, but I noticed it's typical of Ran's fandom.

There's a difference between being a freak and being a genius. Conan and Haibara might be too smart for their ages, yes, but Ran's intelligence isn't average for her age. I'm not saying she's stupid, but she's not smart either. And the fact that she, just sometimes, learns things quickly isn't enough to say that she's intelligent. You still see her, most of the time, being clueless about the easiest things such as Agasa-hakase's quizes. Even Sonoko is smart enough to figure them out, sometimes.Nyarl wrote: Like Misztina writes, Ran's not dumb, Haibara and Conan are freaks. Ran's even a fast learner when something catches her interest, the Love Conan fanbook that focuses on the manga points to the fact that she leaned a lot of Mahjong jargon quickly.
