Why Conan Shrank

[SkyVenger]

Of course it's because of APTX4869, but did you wonder why Conan shrank instead of dying? I've searched into personal data and here's the possible causes I found:

a) Blood type (don't know Haibara's though)
b) Presence of colds virus/fever
c) Any hot/burning sensation (caused by fever as well, but can be caused by wine)

My best answers are B and C though, because the shrunken body is responsive to ginger schnapps (ginger is used as cold treatment in China) and is more effective with feverish symptoms (from movie = not canon). Maybe Shinichi had dormant colds virus before he shrank (???)

You... have a point, hehehe

I think it was because, it wasn't meant to be a killing drug anyway.
there are already many drugs that can kill,
so why invent a new one?
haibara might have planned for the drug to be a drug that turns people young.
who knows. :]

But according to the manga, the sample rat that shrunk was only one, meaning a rare occasion. It should imply from that case that the drug was for assassination (without a trace, unlike other drugs).

LOL, I can see it in wikipedia now

Detective conan

Seasons: 1

Episodes: 1

Plot: High School Detective Kudo Shinichi Solves a Rollercoaster murder mistery, after that he witness a transaction between a man in Black and another man holding a briefcase full of money, he didn't notice another man wearing black coming from behind that hit him with a blunt weapon, he was forced to take a drug the Organization had recently created and died.

That would be detective Conan if Conan hadn't shrunk

It was the drug's side effect, so basically I guess Shinichi (and Haibara) just got lucky and got that instead of dieing. Though, I dunno what makes them any different from the other people that had taken the drug (if I remember correctly, it had been used on more people, he was just the only one that wasnt confirmed dead)

Reminds me of the Tell Me A Lie story by Gosho that ended in 7(?) pages. It would have been a nice comedic story if he continued that
...though it might cause delays on our fave DC releases, hahahaha

I must point you towards some your points =)
Drug wasn't used on a lots of people. And it was intented to Kill.
Gin said -
Got you there didn't i?
That was first thing =) *Rio laughs* Sorry =)

Now Ai said that there was some mouse that managed to survive. And we know that durg is still in BO possesion. But since Conan and Ai are still okay - this means that drug is didn't shrank anyone yet. It either killed the victim, or weren't used at all. Odd isn't? It's a unic drug, last (probably) work of Sherry. And she sounded like THE ONLY sciensist in BO. Wth?
That is second.

It wasn't Conan who sharnk it was Shinichi =)
That is third =)

And i think... There was a mouse, Conan, Ai. What all of them have in common? =) They somewhat share similar dna strands. Or was it? Maybe a unusual DNA strand caused them to survive...
But if initial idea was Immortality\Eternal youth\Kickass shtick! what sort of stuff would happen with those three then?
Oh i remember! There is some idea... What sort of failed projects was discounted before Sherry maded this APTX? X3 (Flip this smile to right)

That's the question itself... Why did he shrink instead of dying?

And no, Haibara's mom and dad were also scientists working for the Org. The Org hires a lot of scientists and computer technicians/experts. And also, we can't say if the drug was used on really few people because I think there is a considerable long list of people killed with the drug and Shinichi was the only one unconfirmed of death. They developed the drug to leave no trace in case they plan to kill someone... I think

Yet Gin said that Shinichi is First human test subject for THIS durg =)
That is first.
Haibara's parents are what? Dead maybe? So?
Well sure her APTX is a work of art - and it seems that noone else is ever able to made such thing....

we all know that it was meant to kill, not turn people younger.
