[File 778-780] East vs. West

[Stopwatch]

@Conan234: I suppose it's in case it's discovered as a murder. If the police found that the murderer had two phones for two separate people it'd make him/her seem pretty suspicious. Also, it's possible that the phone had something important on it (blackmail material?) that he/she would rather destroy. Or it's somehow a dying message. There's plenty of other possibilities though...

[Akonyl]

Camel recognizing her face certainly suggests that she may be Akai's sister, though.

It's not even a maybe. There is like a 99.9% chance that Sera is Akai's sister and .1% she isn't his sister, but definitely related to him somehow. If she isn't then Gosho totally mindfucked everyone.

surprise, she's actually Akai's brother.

[Commi-Ninja]

Akonyl:  XDDD

[1Kaito]

That's a pretty hot brother then

@poll: Conan. Obviously. If anyone else wins, it'll probably be the best thing to ever happen in DC.

Interesting, so far. Sera being around so much is getting my hopes up for actual plot, but right now it just looks like we're gonna have everyone and their grandma mention that they've seen her somewhere before and ask whether she's a guy or girl.

[GinRei]

I really hope the case ends with Heiji saying something to Conan, but referencing him as Kudou.  Of course, Sera has to overhear this, but here's how I want this scene to play out:

1) Heiji and Conan walking wherever, talking.
2) Heiji refers to Conan as Kudou, to which he replies in the affirmative.
3) They round a corner immediately after, and Sera's leaning against the wall.
4) The two half-freak out and half-try to cover it up.
5) Chapter ends with Sera just looking up with a smug smile.

No dialogue from her, just a smug half-grin smile.

[PT]

That would be awesome!

Speaking of which: definitely like how Heiji was yelling directly at Conan about how he's so much better than Kudo. I imagine that caught Sera's attention and she's filing it away for later reference.

[Commi-Ninja]

GinRei:  That would be completely awesome.


And then, in the next chapter, she and Okiya can come face-to-face.  Doesn't matter if they actually say anything or not.

I dunno about that one, only because whenever it finally happens Okiya's identity has to be revealed.  It either turns out he's Akai and Sera makes a reaction, or it turns out he's Bourbon and recognizes her as being similar enough to Akai to... take out some rage on.  If nothing happened, he'd have to end up being neither or else it'd feel like a cheap scene in the end.

[psyko_stevey_999]

I agree with Ginrei, i can easily see Heiji screaming "Kudou" at the top of his lungs while Sera is in the room. There is no doubt in my that Sera is going to confront Conan about his identity, and unless Hell freezes over he'll be forced to confess.

And what better way to set that series of events in motion than Heiji screaming at the top of his lungs. We can only hope that Sera catching him could lead to Ran catching him

[EvilOtaku]

I think  Okiya will "coincidentally" be one of the customers in the cafe. If Gosho wants to troll us even harder, he'll make Okiya a suspect.

[Commi-Ninja]

GinRei:  Just because they don't speak doesn't mean there's no reaction.  I didn't say they couldn't fight or whatever.

I'm just saying that once he's revealed one way or the other, which pretty much has to happen if he and Sera come face-to-face, it'll have to bring the Bourbon arc to a close.  There's no way that, after all this time, Akai and/or Bourbon can be revealed and not set off a domino effect.  If Gosho isn't ready for those tiles to fall immediately, then they won't meet.

[shihokudo]

I really like the idea of East vs. West

Sera sus count
1. suggestion of east vs. west and dodgy look at Conan
2. 'FBI huh?'
3. Camel: 'Where have I?' -  more proof of Sera being Akai's sister..


I'm really looking forward to the next file now..

EDIT: in relation to the poll - I think East, West and Sera are going to tie

[1Kaito]

This should have been Sera vs. Heiji imo. We already saw a Heji vs. Shinichi.
