Does age really matters?

[lethiminhkhuyen]

The age, time, technologies and crime investigation knowledge in this manga are the big problems. Conan through all series go to the first grade with Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko that mean he is still in the same age for all the long time, however in anime we have 2 case that were connected to the Valentine day, so it so illogical. And the new technology, in the case about missing mobile phone and the older brother hided his younger brother for 12 years, if I recall Conan had mentioned that the mobile phone was invented 10 years ago, however in those newest chapters we have Haibara and Conan using Smartphone, at the beginning the only way to investigate if one is a criminal is the fingerprint and blood test but now we have a DNA test too >_< So probably Gosho sensei cheated here just to make the case more interesting
Sorry for my English

No matter how many winters have passed... Shinichi is forever 17 ... Conan is forever in 1st grade ... Damn

Ha ha maybe we are looking at parallel universes of Conan solving cases and Gosho is just picking them from different timelines which had different histories which resulted technology appearing before it was meant to.

I'm very tempted to go through all the manga again and try to build a definitive Conan timeline.

If I'm not mistaken, and if we disregard the whole fast technology jumps thing, maybe it will indeed span a single year, if not less.

I could have gotten that from the anime, because I systematically skipped the AOs, but I decided to watch the movies and that confused the hell out of me.

The first Valentine episode was an AO so that's not really an inconsistency on Gosho's part.

As far as the dates/seasons go, I think it's more to do with the time of year the story was issued rather than when the story occurred (e.g. the London arc, Eri's birthday, the White Day case, etc.). That would explain why the timeline jumps all over the place.

It's not one year. Someone has already made a timeline (including dates). Even if you look at it in a non-chronological order (beside the B.O. cases), it's still more than one year.

Is there a link you can throw in my direction, please? I'd love to give it a look.

Unfortunately the link to the file is off
viewtopic.php?t=7053.0

So unless someone has made a pictures of that file, you will have to wait until Eve comes back.

[El Huesudo II]

Ouch.

Might as well do it myself. LOL



EDIT: As I begin to reread the manga, I'm gonna try to make 2 timelines:

A) A strict chronological order version, where every case starts after the other one ends
B) A discontinuous order version, where gaps between a case's beginning and its end* could be filled with "nearby" cases that don't provide a specific date

* This being the case for arcs where a "a few days/weeks/etc later" appears. No one said cases couldn't happen in between, right?

Let's see how long this spans...

[El Huesudo II]

...I'm already stumped by this timeline thing. Do children in Japan have school on Saturday as well?

Man, it would be awesome of Aoyama-sensei just put the date on every case. Dammit.


EDIT: Okay, I gave in and placed that case in the weekend. But then comes the Hatamoto family case and that couldn't have happened in a weekday... URGH. This is hard.

EDIT 2: AND NOW THERE'S A FULL MONTH GAP? ...Do I really want to keep this up?
