Would the Bourbon arc even bring a shock factor to all fans?

[Introuble]

Isn't there the possibility of the arc just meeting someone's expectations? Cause that's what I would have voted. I usually don't have "expectations". I just enjoy what comes. In the meantime, I focus my attention on other stuff.

Damn, I srsly forgot about that option and it would be so lame if I were to reset the polls again. Thanks.

I really hope Shuuichi is DEAD. Permanently. Don't misunderstand. I like him a lot. And still... Well, I guess he's alive, so nevermind.

YES.

you may be the only other person who feels the same way on this, as far as I know. :/

I agree with you both. I hope he's dead and buried and that Gosho won't bring him back using some weird explanation (and if ever he does, it better be good).

Define weird.

Which would go against a certain degree of realism.

In the DC manga, things have to be real. With the exceptions of the apotoxins of course.

To be honest, I don't know what to expect. Sometimes, an arc is drastically less than I expect *coughLondoncough* and the disappointment is painful. But sometimes he pulls out some pretty incredible stuff. I can only hope that the Bourbon arc is the latter.

Puhleze. I REALLY hope so, then.

If it's the former, I am going to be utterly crushed.

If Toy Story 3 proved anything, it's that there's big money in playing to your longtime fans. (Face it, the college-agers loved that movie way more than the little kids, and I know for a fact that more Toy Story merchendise is getting sold to teenagers than small children at my Argos). Reward old fans for their dedication and you will rake in their cash. (There are other reasons too, but the marketers control all, so you need to pitch them the cash.)

Point taken. But SERIOUSLY. This plot needs to get a move-on.

+1, we have been static since the time they use those huge walkie talkie phone to the time when they start using cellphone....

I was rereading the introduction to Okiya and realized a possibility from the last page of the third installment in the red, white, and yellow case. http://www.dctp.ws/V60-Reader/V60-5Read/A16.html

Conan said Sinichi suddenly dissapeared on the page prior, yet claims he will send Sinichi a message explaining Okiya is using the house. Strange, if someone dissapears but keeps in contact with a little kid.
But what really struck me was the lines of, "In return, take care of the place while he's gone." and the casual response of, "Yeah, of course."
This leads me to believe Sinichi knows Okiya and Okiya knows that Conan is Sinichi. As for Sinichi being away, it could be possible Conan knew about the trip to London way before hand from Diana, who would most likely be a FBI member or one of the Kudo's  friends. This would of course destroy my Diana Kingston is B.O. theory, but if Sinichi knew he was going to leave, and in response had Okiya watch over the house, and thus Haibara (due to the Bourbon threat issued in this case) my idea could be solidified.

My mind is shutting down due to lack of sleep so this thought train isn't completing itself...
I'll probably continue reading more of Okiya's adventures when I'm awake and then disprove this idea myself, but until then, enjoy.

Sorry , but the people that Think this Arc is as simple as Okiya= Akai and Scar Akai = Bourbon in my opinion is wrong. I dont have evidence , but i think that.
Why Gosho give us a lot of evidence that Akai=Okiya ? and that S. Akai is NOT the real Akai ? that is because this Arc is more complex than we think

Be careful with this theory. You will be flamed....but I'm with you on this.
