repeated scene....a clue?? (Spoilers)

[mangaluva]

I think that's just because people use their phones for EVERYTHING now, though. They can do pictures, mail, internet... oh, and call people.

[snuzzle]

Yeah, the reason we haven't seen a lot of cell phone use in earlier cases is... cell phone use wasn't as prevalent! This story is so old, cell phones weren't even common when it began. Now, almost everyone has a cell phone, so we're seeing them used a lot more.

At least, that's my theory.

[karisama]

in the paper plane case, both okiya and shinichi used their cell phones, in the red wall case, three detectives used their cell phone for their deduction, and in the dangerouse area case, scar akai sent his deduction through mail........

Wasn't that Okiya?

Nope, it was found to be Scar Akai. As for how he knew Kogoro's cell phone number, it has been hypothesized that he got it from Hidemi's phone because Kogoro gave her his routing number via cell. Or he investigated Kogoro.

The manga is modernized with time is not normal?

[mangaluva]

The manga modernizes fast, despite the fact that less than a year has passed withing the manga... 

(...and less than a year has passed, despite the seasons having cycled repeatedly...)

Floppy disks (APTX drug data on one) --> CD (program Itakura was writing for the org) --> Memory card (in movie 13...)

And also remember that answering machine that uses an actual cassette tape in the case just after Haibara appears?

Can't be helped XD I followed this old manga (ガラスã

I mean how realistic is Detective Conan? A bunch of kids solving cases? A boy taking down the org, even in high school? better yet, him knowing all that stuff at his age of 17? Even the romance is unrealistic. An 18 year old making a poison? Most of the way the crimes are done are so bizarre that it seems unrealistic. It also happens to have three suspects every time too....but hey, thats the magic of shonen...and DC! It makes for an awesome story does it not?

That's why it's called fiction

My friend's first-year Social Psychology dissertation is on "the symbolisation of the conflict between good and evil in the human soul and society in general in Batman:The Dark Knight". I'm not actually making this up.

Hey, last time I checked the stories from "the West" are serious business. We don't have magical elementary schoolgirls chasing super model bad guys, men who turn into cute girls when hit with water, or girls running around fighting evil with a guy in a tuxedo assisting. Here in "the West" is all about babies that talk, sponges being friends with starfish, and a man wearing a costume while taking justice into his own hands. All plausible scenarios, we don't lie to our children here with "make believe" stories buddy!
