Reader’s Question:
I have a question about Detective Conan. In The Darkest Nightmare, Irish was killed by Gin, but he managed to get the memory card. Wouldn’t it have been better if Gin had just let him go and taken him up in the helicopter instead of killing him? That way,
there wouldn’t have been a body left behind, and it would have been the most efficient way to handle the situation.
Detective Conan’s Darkest Nightmare: A Thoughtful Discussion
So, I was chatting with a friend the other day about “Detective Conan,” and we stumbled upon this intriguing question regarding the character Irish and his unfortunate demise at the hands of Gin in The Darkest Nightmare. My buddy was wondering why Gin didn’t just let Irish escape with the memory card instead of killing him. I mean, it sounds like a clever move, right? Just scoop him up in a helicopter and fly away, no body left behind, no messy aftermath. But then, as we dove deeper into the conversation, we realized that it might not be as simple as it seems. My friend pointed out that if Gin had flown the helicopter too close to the tower to pick up Irish, the rotor blades could have collided with the structure, leading to a disastrous crash. And let’s not forget about the intense wind created by those helicopter blades! It’s a whole different ball game trying to lift someone off the ground while keeping everything safe and sound. It’s like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks—impressive if you can pull it off, but so easy to mess up! Then there’s the matter of the memory card itself. It contained a NOC list that the organization had originally obtained from their computer systems. The idea that Gin could just destroy the card if he felt threatened by its potential exposure makes a lot of sense. After all, if they could keep that information out of the hands of the police, then it wouldn’t matter if they lost it in the process. Plus, my friend reminded me of how skilled Kanji, or as we know him, “Kanty,” is with a sniper rifle. It’s almost poetic in a way—like a tragic comedy where the villain’s overconfidence leads to a costly mistake. And let’s not ignore the complicated relationships within the organization. Gin has this tendency to eliminate those he doesn’t like, which adds another layer to his decision-making. It’s almost like a dark version of office politics, where he feels the need to assert dominance and keep the ranks clean. You know, talking about all this reminded me of a time when I was way too early for an event. I brought a whole bag of snacks, thinking I’d just munch while waiting. Instead, I ended up sharing them with everyone around me, which turned into a fun little gathering. It’s funny how sometimes things don’t go as planned, but they end up being memorable in unexpected ways. So, what do you think? Were there any moments in Detective Conan that left you scratching your head? Or perhaps you’ve had your own experiences that turned out differently than expected? I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories in the comments!
