Who the fuck is the Boss of the Black Organization? Two decades

His name is Kogoro Mouri

It's obviously Genta.

You make it sound like Aoyama himself has the answer.

DELET

what ya gonna do, shoot me?

As is often brought up, way back in 1996 or whatever when Detective Conan was started, Aoyama intended it to be a relatively, if not very short-running manga. It wasn't supposed to go on for dozens of chapters, let alone a thousand and 2-3 decades.

Aoyama has said that, because of that, the leader of the Black Corps. was going to be someone close to Conan and company for a twist. But then Det, Conan turned into a cultural phenom and who the fuck knows anymore.

I mean, realistically, even "realistically" for a manga with Det. Conan's own internal logic there should be no way Mr. Big/"ano kata hito" should be anyone Conan would know or recognize. It should be some random corrupt businessman or politician from halfway around the world.

It's already been dumb enough that a few of the Black Org. members like Vermouth have been connected to Conan/Shinichi and his family.

This is breaking the most important rule of mystery writing.

Who could that mysterious boss be?
Oh shit it's a random character we've never seen before and not connected to any of the characters in the show.

Sonoko's father as the head of a massive financial empire is someone powerful enough to realistically be the boss of the BO and close enough to Conan to fit with the mytery writing trope of "X was the culprit all along"

It'll be Ayumi, she has also taken the drug and has been monitoring haibara and shinichi/conan.

There are no "rules" of mystery writing.

There are thing like the Van Dyne and Knox lists, but there are many mystery writers who say 'fuck them', and for good reason. Conan Doyle/Holmes himself (although they came way before the lists) break several of the rules. I say fuck those lists too, there are plenty of great mysteries that ignore them. I mean fuck, I think BOTH lists say things like "no secret passages" and similar gimmicks and those are awesome.

That aside, the Black Org. isn't a "Mystery", like one of the things Conan solves Murder She Wrote style,, the Black Org. is a crime syndicate. Dr. Claw wasn't someone that Inspector Gadget knew, classic Blofeld wasn't somneone that James Bond knew (fuck the new version in Spectre with Daniel Craig). Big Bosses don't need to be people we know.

It's enough that people like Sharon/Chris and others have been related to Conan and Ai and others respectively.

Except The boss is a mystery.
They are trying to hide his identity for so long and him/her being a random people out of nowhere is just a fuck you to the fans.

>>151528980
They say no more than one secret passage iirc.
Also Conan does break one or two on some occasions. But the criminal not being an unknown character is usually the most important rule. You'd have to write really fucking well to pull that off correctly

>>151528980
>There are no "rules" of mystery writing.
There are no rules but usually good mystery writers at least go by sensical guidelines that are widely used in other succesful mystery novels, games and shows, such as the entire concept of a 'fairplay-whodunnit'. Saying that there are no "rules" is just not fair.

Nevermind, dumb me should have read your post at least a few words forward instead of knee-jerk answering

One of the Suzukis is the boss.

Something interesting if we look at Gundam voices, which we know is a thing with Conan, is that Jirokichi shares a voice with Degwin Sodo Zabi and Vermouth shares a voice with his daughter. Could be an answer to Vermouth being the Boss' ... daughter? Maybe she's somehow related to the Suzuki's like adopted?

>>151528790

Is Sonoko's father even a character?

I mean, I've been rewatching and am in the 400's and I don't think I can remember meeting him. So while he's someone we "know" exists, and I agree he could fit, it's not like he's someone whose around all the time as a part of the central cast that would "shock" anyone.

>>151529201
He appeared the first time in the first Kid heist, and then another couple of times. He also appears in Episode One

It would be "shocking" because he's still the closest relative to one main member of the cast who also is a childhood friend of the MC

>>151528980
The examples you give doesn't even touch the question of who is the evil boss while in Detective Conan, Conan actively tries to find out who is the boss.

Following the popular tropes isn't a rule.

>>151529373

As I said above, despite the identity of 'ano kata' being a mystery, it's not trope or 'rule' in detective and/or spy fiction for the MR BIG type of character to be anyone we know.

See the above given examples of Gadget and James Bond, but there are tons of others throughout crime fiction.

I'm more interested in who's RUM

>>151530043
Rum is Kuroda, Teacher, and Chef.

>>151525167
He would have to be a fucking masterful actor to keep his act up around Conan. Also if he knows Conan is Shinichi why doesn´t he just get rid of him? Not to mention he is nowhere near powerful or rich enough. In conclusion, extremely unlikely but would make for a hilarious twist.

>>151530270
the BO biggest goal is a working rejuvenating drug, so he want to keep an eye on his succesful guinea pig

So, who's this guy

>>151530802
He's Wada Shinichi.

But he´s just some small fry detective. Before Conan came around he didn´t even solve any cases and was just barely getting by. I doubt he has the influence to rule over a powerful organization. Even if the BO was founded by him and some friends where the fuck did they get enough money?

But we've been told the Boss is someone we know.
