Given the context, it’s already an…odd choice of compliment on its own but like??? He genuinely could not have picked a weirder way to phrase it 😭

Like it sounds less like a compliment and more so like he’s trying to recruit her or smth?? Istg I keep expecting him to hand her a business card for an agency that specializes in finding wives for men who suck at grocery shopping or whatever. Or maybe he’s starting his own version of The Bachelor and this is how he chooses the contestants

Back during my re-read, I had a big complaint. Which is that Detective Conan really... doesn't give as much credit to what happens when the police arrest the wrong person. Or if there's a miscarriage of justice and they don't get to the correct culprit in time, and someone gets victimised by the system, hurt by the people they're supposed to be putting their trust in (like Joker was, in P5R).

There's a few times, in the series, but not... many. And then we get Amuro/Rei, who's PSB and undercover Black Org and he's a moral grey area, at times. He sometimes does not choose logic over emotion, or reason over revenge.

And now I'm seeing - not even half an hour into this movie - one of the things I'd wanted for so long. The police arresting someone Shinichi and Ran are familiar with and close to (Kogoro, their dad) and no matter how unrealistic it is for him to have done it, no matter how much he says that he's innocent, they can do nothing in the face of the handcuffs being put around his wrists.

You can really see it in this one screen especially:

They're bemoaning the fact that even when Ran had called Shinichi, he "didn't come" - but there he is, without them knowing, right there and unable to do anything.

How often could this have happened?

I feel that this has to be horrifying for Shinichi, who is 99% of the time at the scene of the crime as it happens, or there to make sure that they arrest the right person before they can arrest the wrong one, and this time he was powerless.

Plus, no matter how bumbling Kogoro is, that man is still Ran and Conan (Shinichi's) only real parent/guardian presence, and now... they kind of just have each other, because they can have their friends (Ran is being consoled by Sonoko, who likewise for all her money couldn't stop this) and family (Ran tries to go to her mother, but Eri can't defend a family member, which Kogoro still is despite the pending divorce)... but when they go back home, it'll just be the two of them.
