It’s largely a reference book made for the series during the time in the manga that Vermouth was active. Like the Super Digest Books (where we get Q&A sections from Gosho), it’s produced by Shonen Sunday, but unlike the SDB, it probably took a lot more time and a large team of people. A lot of people take the information inside the Drill as ‘official’, but really, it’s about as official as any information the anime collects for the Secret Archives. What any of the reference books do is just collect everything that can be gleaned from the series by paying attention and put it all in one convenient place. Since the Drill was the first (and thus far only) comprehensive book to everything and everyone going on with the story at the time, they included a lot of extra material that Gosho probably contributed (such as a full map of Beika that I don’t think had existed prior). But. I doubt he fact-checked everything they put in there, a ton of stuff in it is outdated, and other small things could be disproven if people wanted to take the time to fact-check themselves.

Ahhh thank you so much!! It’s such a great place!! Some more pictures!

Hi,

Thanks for the ask! Well, I think I have quite a few lol. You want me to get in trouble with the fandom, don’t you? xD Anyways let’s see.

1.) Lili is not that amazing at all.I don’t hate her or anything, but I feel like she is trying too hard to be like Yona and gets herself in trouble in the process. She tends to forget that Yona can be a bit more reckless cause she has a dragon circus following her. Lili doesn’t have that so you can be sure trouble ensures when she does something. I do appreciate her will and motivation to want to do something, though. It’s just she could go about it differently, imo.

2.) Geun-Tae and Joon-Gi were terrible tribe leaders and they got away with it too easily.I think in-universe characters and the fans of the manga alike are very quick to blame King Il for every problem in the tribes. Which is - imo - not correct. I’m not saying that King Il is not at fault, cause surely he is, but it has been established early on that the generals are actually the governors of their tribe. They are the ones mostly responsible for everything that’s going on. King Il’s fault lies mainly in the fact that he did not motivate his generals enough to do their job. Anyways, Soo-Jin already got his punishment for being shitty, so that’s fine, but I have problems with Geun-Tae and Joon-Gi, especially with Geun-Tae. Joon-Gi has at least been called out to pull his shit together. However, not Geun-Tae. The guy literally turned a blind eye to the Awa human trafficing incident. All he did for years was rolling around in bed, quite literally. And honestly, no one fucking tells him that he was a terrible general, cause blaming Il is obviously easier. God… sorry this always makes me mad lol. As you can tell I don’t like Geun-Tae at all.

3.) Su-Won needs to get some sort of punishment by the time the manga ends.Okay, I’m not sure if this is unpopular opinion or not, I feel like the fandom is sorta torn regarding Su-Won. But anyways, I’m definitely not one of his fans. He seems to be a decent ruler, even if I don’t agree with some of his choices as a king. But I feel like he should not get away with what he did, you know? It’s not even just about Hak and Yona. Like, Il wasn’t the best king, but killing someone, forcefully taking the crown and declaring yourself to be the better option to rule the country is not the way to go about it. So yes some sort of punishment is in order, I hope Kusanagi will go through with it. Otherwise the manga would send a pretty bad message across.

4.) Su-Won did not handle the Xing issue well at all.He was so hell bent on starting a war that it was ridiculous. Where is the diplomacy? Surely, war is not the only option to handle a conflict. I can’t believe Yona had to be the one to tell him that.

5.) Su-Won’s admiration towards his father is bad and he needs to wake up.Yu-Hon was shitty, okay? There is no better way to put it. He literally beheaded hostages after the conflict was already over just because he had the power to do so and why not?? I can’t believe that Su-Won admires a guy like this, I can’t believe he thinks that what Yu-Hon did was okay. I just… Su-Won, please. This doesn’t show you in a good light at all.

6.) Yona would be a good ruler.Loads of people don’t want to see her on the throne because they think she doesn’t have the experience and the necessary knowledge for it, but personally I disagree. My only problem with her ruling is her age. But other than that, I think the journey she is on serves to make her ready to be queen one day. Along the way she meets people, she learns about the kingdom and about the problems and issues that need to be fixed. That is the best way to get to know your kingdom, isn’t it? Sure, she is probably missing some political knowledge and what not, but Hak as her husband would help her with that. He used to be a general after all, responsible for governing a tribe. He knows what he is doing, he also knows a lot about military. So even if Yona has some shortcomings, I think together with Hak they would do pretty well on the throne tbh. They would have the compassion and love for the people that Su-Won seems to severely lack sometimes.

HELLO

I’m glad I’m getting questions from people who aren’t anons. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some anons, but I like knowing who y’all are!! 

Anyway, onto your question, sorry. I’m not really cool with it. I mean, if that ends up being the case, sure, yay, fun stuff, those two kicking ass and taking names. But I think at the end of the day --and as much fun as watching both of them bicker and try to outsmart each other is-- Conan has his battle, and Kid has his. Shinichi has to have the honor --to put it some way-- of solving his case on his own --somewhat, with help, you know what I mean-- and Kid needs to solve his by himself. They owe it to themselves, Aoyama owes it to them, and we owe it to them. 

The one that pops into my head is the one in the Underwater Pirate Ship chapter where she apparently caught a very poisonous fish by the tail without getting hurt and while completely submerged.

Ahhhhhhhh, thank you so much! :3

I’m glad you’re enjoying the snippets, and hopefully you’ll enjoy my long-fics as you discover them! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH !! this really means a lot, I’ll try my best to do more in the future !
