Reader’s Question:
Did you know that Akai Shuichi from Detective Conan had his mother shrink due to a drug? Can you tell me what he knew during the time he went to investigate the plates with Professor Agasa and the others, and what he knows now? For example, he didn’t know
back then but knows now.
Unraveling Akai Shuichi’s Mystery
So, I was just chatting with a buddy about some of our favorite Detective Conan moments, and we stumbled onto this intriguing thread about Akai Shuichi and his mother, Mary. Now, if you’ve been following the series, you know that Mary shrinks due to a drug called APTX4869, which adds a whole layer of complexity to the story. I remember when Akai was investigating those plates with Professor Agasa and the gang. It was such a fascinating episode! He had this air of skepticism, saying something like he couldn’t believe it until he saw it with his own eyes. You could feel the tension, right? It’s like when you’re waiting for a punchline in a stand-up routine, and you just know it’s going to be good but you’re on the edge of your seat! Back then, Akai wasn’t aware of APTX4869, but he did know that Conan and Haibara had been transformed into kids. That must have left him with so many questions! Just imagine his thoughts—seeing these two kids and knowing there’s something deeper going on but not having all the pieces. It’s like when you’re trying to solve a puzzle and you’re missing that one crucial piece that would make everything click. Now, fast forward to what he knows today. If he gets to see Mary in her current state, I can only imagine how everything would come crashing down into place for him. The disbelief turning into certainty would be such a powerful moment—like when you finally understand a complex joke after hearing it a couple of times! This whole scenario makes me reflect on my own experiences of discovering shocking truths. Like, once I found out that my favorite childhood snack was actually discontinued years ago! Talk about a punch to the gut. It makes you appreciate those little moments, doesn’t it? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Have you ever had a moment where you uncovered a big truth about something you loved? Or maybe you’ve had a funny story tied to a mystery, just like Akai’s journey?
