Takagi: Involvement into the BO-plot?

Post by Borealis »

Well, I have been thinking that Takagi could be involved with the BO in some way.
Now it looks as if, even if he isn't yet, he will soon be involved.

How come? Here is why:

1) He was the one investigating the case of Akai's death or "death", depending who you ask.
Spoiler: chapter 808
2)He is being stalked when visiting the grave of Date by Amuro...
Spoiler: chapter 824
... who turns out to be Bourbon.
3) Bourbon now wants to investigate Akai's "death", which could lead him to suspect Takagi (see 1)
It isn't hard evidence but theories have been built on less.

If bourbon did suspect Takagi was involved i think he would have disguised himself as scar akai and appeared before him, sort of with the FBI. But seeing as he didn't i suppose he doesn't suspect Takagi for now anyway.
I see what you did there ;)

Well, perhaps not for now but once Bourbon investigates the files of Akai's death...

I thought Bourbon visited Date's grave because of a relationship he had with Date, not because of Takagi. Didn't Bourbon have a text from him?

I'd love it if Takagi gets involved in the BO plot.

He has a high chance to enter through the Bourbon arc, because of Date and because of his involvement in the Raiha Pass case's investigation. And once he's in, the fun begins; since it means the entire Metro PD gets involved, too.

I can see it going 3 ways. All 3 ways involve Amuro and Sera checking out police files in secret to find out more about Akai and what happened to him:

1) Takagi notices someone is checking out police files in secret, gets interested, tells Inspector Megure, and thus gets everyone involved. One way or another they'll reach the conclusion that Conan's involved. And let's remember Takagi is interested in Conan (he's asked him "just who are you?" at least twice, and is much more trusting of him afterwards).

This way, while the most naturally flowing (IMO), would also mean the final confrontation comes sooner, because once the Metro PD is involved, it means war; and because it'd mean the BO would zoom in on either Conan or Kogoro because of their relations with the Metro PD and because of whatever the 1st Division would find in their investigations.

2) Takagi notices someone is checking out police files in secret, gets interested, but checks it out in secret, in his extra time. This secret investigation of his could make him be targeted by the BO, and with him the entire 1st Division, without any of them actually knowing it.

This path would be similar to path 1, except slower, since the 1st Division wouldn't be involved, therefore, it wouldn't become an actual case.

3) Takagi notices someone is checking out police files in secret, gets interested, but checks it out in secret, in his extra time. This secret investigation of his gets him to discover the existence of the BO, and become targeted. The pressure of being targeted would lead him to resign from the Metro PD so as to not put anyone else in danger; he'd later be contacted by Conan's team.

This path is the most far-fetched one, and the one with most holes, but the most dramatic one; getting Takagi and Sato's relationship involved in the main part of the plot.



Or none of the above, which is the most likely thing that could actually happen. LOL.

I also thought about that. It's likely that Takagi gets involved, especially because his relation to Date.

But my first reaction wasn't a happy one when I realised that, since Takagi anyway constantly gets into situations in which he almost dies, an involvement in the BO-actions would make his life much harder.  ;)

Still it would be awesome. I think it is almost necessary for the plot to involve the Police Department with the BO-actions. Eventually everything has to dissolve. It would be too great to have Sato meeting Vermouth and kicking some ass to save Takagi again ...

Okay, let's just see what happens next.
Spoiler:
Takagi's proposal to Sato should be coming soon, since Gosho announced the wedding in an interview.
And the Bourbon arc keeps becoming faster.

But why did he visit the grave a week after the anniversary? There is a theory floating around that it has something to with the notebook.
Also, that way Takagi is connected to the BO via a dead mentor. Not much better.

@El Huesudo:
thumps up for all three ways. 3) would be awesome but DC isn't dark enough for that^_^

@Female Apprentice:
On the other hand, he is now used to survive in such situations. Not too bad, don't you think? ;)
Sato vs. Vermouth? AWESOME! I can see them in an epic car / motorcycle race!
Spoiler:
YES YES YES!
I also get the feeling that it is getting faster
