Reader’s Question:
I remember a scene in the movie “The Darkest Nightmare” where Conan talks to Vermouth. Does Conan know that Vermouth has figured out he is Shinichi? If he does know, why hasn’t he questioned why Vermouth hasn’t told Gin or the Boss about his true identity? I apologize if
my question is unclear, but I would appreciate any insights from knowledgeable fans.
Unraveling the Mystery of Conan and Vermouth
So, let me tell you about one of those moments in the world of “Detective Conan” that really had me on the edge of my seat. You know the scene in “The Darkest Nightmare” where Conan has a tense conversation with Vermouth? It’s one of those interactions that leaves you questioning everything. From what I gather, Conan is fully aware that Vermouth knows his true identity as Shinichi. It’s like they’re in this unspoken agreement, a sort of “silent accomplice” situation. I mean, it’s fascinating how both characters navigate this complex relationship. They know what the other knows but choose to keep it under wraps. It’s almost like a game of chess where each player is quietly aware of their opponent’s moves. What really gets me thinking is why Vermouth hasn’t spilled the beans to Gin or the Boss about Conan’s identity. You’d think that would be a priority for someone in her position. But it seems Conan has figured out that Vermouth has her reasons. There are a few layers to this mystery that make it all the more intriguing. First off, it seems Vermouth has a soft spot for Shinichi and Ran. She considers them special, and that’s why she’s protective of them. In a way, she sees Shinichi as a “silver bullet,” someone she has no intention of betraying to the organization. It’s a bit heartwarming, really, to see that amidst all the danger and deceit, there’s someone looking out for them. Then there’s the fact that Conan appears to be utilizing Vermouth’s silence to his advantage. He’s keenly aware of her position within the organization and seems to be keeping tabs on her while not completely trusting her. It’s a delicate dance of trust and caution, and I can’t help but admire how Conan plays it. And let’s not forget about Gin’s overconfidence in Vermouth. He trusts her more than anyone else, giving her a unique position within the organization. It’s almost like he’s blind to the potential threat she poses, and Conan seems to understand this dynamic well. One of my favorite moments that ties into this whole scenario is when Conan receives that invitation addressed to “Edogawa Conan” but meant for “Kudo Shinichi.” It’s such a clever twist that shows how intertwined their lives are, and it just adds to the complexity of their relationship. Honestly, I love these layers of intrigue and the way the characters interact. It’s like peeling an onion; each layer brings you closer to the core of the mystery. If you haven’t yet watched “Kuro no Gakuen to Shinkou Shoubai! Mangetsu no Nigen Misuterii,” I highly recommend it. It really dives deep into these relational dynamics and keeps you guessing. So, what do you think? Have you had any moments in shows or movies that made you question character motivations like this? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any other intriguing insights you might have!
