Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the one-eyed phantom in the Conan movie. In the beginning, during the scene where Inspector Yamato is chasing the culprit on the snowy mountain, he doesn’t seem to have an eye injury, and it looks like he gets injured when he is shot. However,
when he solved a case with Kogoro Mouri a few years ago, he already had the eye injury. It feels like the timeline is inconsistent. Can someone explain this?
Unraveling the Mystery of the One-Eyed Phantom
You know, there’s something truly fascinating about diving into the world of anime, especially when it comes to beloved series like Detective Conan. I recently stumbled upon a question that sparked a pretty fun discussion about the timeline in one of the Conan movies, particularly focusing on Inspector Yamato and that perplexing eye injury of his. So, picture this: the scene opens with Inspector Yamato chasing a suspect down a snowy mountain, all intense and action-packed. But here’s the kicker—he seems perfectly fine, no eye patch in sight. Fast forward to a case he solved with Kogoro Mouri a couple of years back, and suddenly, he’s sporting that eye injury like it’s a badge of honor. It’s like watching a movie where the main character suddenly loses a limb, and you’re left scratching your head, wondering when that happened!
Connecting the Dots
One of the users chimed in with a breakdown of events, mentioning the cases they worked on together, like “Fuurinkazan,” which takes place six months after a snow avalanche. Then there’s “Shibou no Kan” and “Akai Kabe,” which all happen after that avalanche incident. It got me thinking—was there some sort of secret case where Yamato got hurt that we just didn’t get to see? Or maybe it’s just a classic case of anime timeline inconsistency. You know how sometimes a show can get a bit loose with continuity? Reflecting on this, it reminds me of those moments when I try to connect the dots in my own life, like when I accidentally show up to a birthday party a week early, excited and all, only to find out it’s the following Saturday. Or when I indulge in one too many snacks during a movie night and end up regretting it the next day. Life can be full of these little quirks, right?
