Well,I want to discuss something....

Wow a few days and already at episode 490. nice

Anyway Shinichi and Heiji in my opinion are almost on the same level but Shinichi is still a little better since he always seems to be one step ahead in the deductions. but it's hard to say exactly.

As for Yusaku I think Shinichi will eventually be just as good. who knows he may even be just as good now since it has been awhile since he's been in an episode.

I Hope Shinichi never catches Kid cause I feel If anyone should catch Kid it should be Saguru Hakuba. but I only think that cause I'm a bigger fan of the manga that Kid is originally from.

well welcome. and if you ever just want to discuss anything or have any questions I'm always willing to chat.

You must have been like watching episodes all day to get to 490! I admire you!

A1: Well, Hattori its almost at the same level as Shinichi. But I think Shinichi its a bit smarter than him. In Magic File 5, Conan is the one that solves the case (It was just trying to figure out how two presents got switched LOL). Hattori, its still a genius, however.

A2:I think it was to show Shinichi some humilty, and that even the greatest detective can fail. Or maybe it was to show that, Yusaku too, has an awesome level of inteligence, and that thats where got it from.

He already kinda defeated Hattori, Kinda can't defeat Yusaku (Him being away , and both of them would eventually solve a case at the same time), and he kinda can't defeat Kid. He might know how he stole the jewel, he might even stop him from getting the jewel, but he wont capture him.

Why? Because Kid is the main character of Gosho Aoyama's other series (Magic Kaito), and if Conan captures him, it'd had to be in the Magic Kaito world (in which conan only makes cameo appeareances), which has almost nothing to do with the storyline in DC. It can't be in a movie , since they have nothing to do in the story line, either.

A1: Shinichi is proven to be smarter than Hattori during episode 48. But ah...if you ask me, based from my observations, no matter how I look at it, Hattori's and Kudo's deductions were in a sync most of the time and it is either the two who is smarter because...Oh, right, I forgot. No spoilers. Anyway....I'll tell that later. ^^


Q2: Yusaku-sensei is the Mycroft Holmes of Detective Conan here. We all know that Kudo here is also smart but as we all know, Yusaku-sensei is smarter than Kudo because of a few flaws. Also, I not sure whether it is to show Yusaku-sensei's supremacy but, I think it is a yes. Just like what other fans say, Kudo is Sherlock Holmes while Yusaku is Mycroft Holmes. And...I think that's all I could say.
