yeah he is mainly based on sherlock but I feel like he's the amalgamation of some characters like columbo and jekyll and hyde

I forgot where this tag is and I forgot where it is or where I screenshot it but I cannot stop thinking this alot

the more I think about it, the more I realize how scary all this is

conan is just shinichi's child persona he's acting but considering how much time has passed I don't think that's the case anymore

conan became his own person now, he created so many connections and bonds and he slowly took over shinichi's life, while shinichi became just a memory people remember

and erasing conan won't be easy, like I said he is his own person now and that's like "killing off" an innocent child

and the fact that a false persona slowly eats you from the inside out while you can do nothing about it is really terrifying, it is a true fate worse than death

and now I keep thinking about the ova 9 where shinichi has a nightmare about growing up a conan for the rest of his life while the people who he knew move on without him

I don't think he's right about growing up (it's implied in the manga where he doesn't grow a bit, which is another worse fate) but I think he's right about being forgotten by time for disappearing for so long, which makes me sad
