Age of Edogawa?

[Evil-eyed Yawny Girl]

The wiki's said he's 6-7 years old. But what episode did Conan said he's already 10 or did  he said that? Sorry, I think this is non sense but I'm curious and can't sleep till I know the answer. hehe

[aly_angelflight]

Uh, no, he's been saying he was 7 for a while now. ^^;

[Evil-eyed Yawny Girl]

Ohh. Thank you so much! I think I just heard that 10 yrs old in my dreams.

[ShinRan4ver]

This was in a recent AO, but in the red leaf mystery case he said he was 7. He don't get asked about age that often.

[Evil-eyed Yawny Girl]

Oh! Thanks for the AO thing, I think I remember now.

I ran into this when rewatching episode 411, at the 02:10 mark Conan remakred that he is not 10 anymore, but he is talking about the fact that Shinichi is actually 17, not about Conan's age. In the manga version(V48-File 1-page 2) he simply said he is not a kid anymore, again talking as Shinichi, not Conan.

Slightly off-topic, but if there was one thing I could change about the series, it'd be the fact that time seems to have stopped (he'd have to be solving a ton of cases per day if it actually hasn't been over a year yet canonically).

I realize it might be a slight logistical headache for Gosho, but it'd make the series a lot more immersive (a preteen detective boys would be quite entertaining) and we'd know if the drug nullified the effects of aging (possibly a reason he isn't doing the series that way). I'd be interested to hear a question regarding the canonical time progression come up during one of his interviews - then we'd know more.

I believe he said DC runs on "Sazae-san" time (a.k.a. "Time progression? Pfft, who cares about that? This is lasting as long as it lasts, time be damned. ") in an interview... so I don't think Gosho is really keeping that much track of how much time has passed in the canon. ^^;

I figured as much, but a man can dream!

Still I would of thought he'd be 8 by now.

guys, it's manga after all. Time is not the main issue, but the story

If you are really interested in working out Conan's age... I give you some hints

Spoiler:

reference = ch189 (volume 20), DBoys discussing about Football World Cup in France, that is in 1998. Moreover, the reference to Doha 4 years earlier on tells that in 1994 Edogawa was supposed to be 3 and in 1998 he was 7.
I am lazy to quote from all the DC series, but one fact would suggest that events occurring right now should be in early 2011: the smartphone technologies. Conan is seen using Sony Ericsson's Xperia series, and the one he has is being released in early 2011...
to his 7 in 1998, you add 13 from 1998-2011.... and the result says Conan should be in his 20's by now... but in the manga series, time is not given big importance as usual....

[shubhoshinichi]

Well, as the series began in sometime around 1994, at that time he was 7.. So, logically he must be 18+7 = 25 by now. But believe me he's still just 7.

I don't recall any information which would let people guess the timeline prior to ch189. So you would never know if the series should be located in 1994. For what we knew back then, author might have be telling a future story as well. The first time-based information should be the 98' World Cup in ch189 =)  For that reason, i don't feel like giving those years to conan actual age XD let him stay younger

At least in the german manga, Shinichi is holding a newpaper from 12. January 1994 in the first volume... But I assume that that is not in the original version, is it?
