Oh Shinichi, I think I need to shake you lmao.

Kudo Shinichi is the high school detective, narrator and main protagonist of the manga and anime Detective Conan. While on a date with his childhood friend (later girlfriend) Ran Mouri, Shinichi encounters two men from a secret criminal organization who force feed him a strange poison that causes his body to shrink back to first grade age. Shinichi takes up the alias Conan Edogawa and plans to use his immense skill as a detective to make Ran's bumbling private detective father famous in hopes that he will find a case involving the secret organization so he can expose its crimes and acquire an antidote that will turn him back into a teenager. - DCW (because I'm too lazy rn woopsies)

There's a fear taking hold. It was always there, maybe even before this. For all that cockiness and self-assured attitude you exude, there was always something there. Things were too perfect then and too imperfect now. You maintain that confidence, for what choice do you have? Your cunning will take you far, you're sure of it? Right? The hare may outsmart the fox.

Yet a hare is always a hare.

And running is all you can do.

The blurring of lines

No longer knowing where you end and he begins

Playing a long game of charades and no longer remembering who you are

A mishmash of falsehoods and truths

An amalgamation of stories you remember and the stories you tell your self

Constructing out of necessity

Believing out of necessity

Forgetting out of necessity

What is an identity but the things you tell yourself everyday?

Shinichi and I are childhood friends and we've been together ever since our families met. It felt like there was never anything between us and yet. He disappeared.

He's not gone, not completely, but the times I see him in person are few and far between. Even when we meet I always get this sinking feeling. That I might not see him again.

Then there's Conan.

Just when Shinichi disappeared this boy appeared. A young, inquisitive, clever child with a propensity for detective work just like Shinichi. It's insane, to think this boy and Shinichi are related isn't it? Am I going crazy? Have I just been missing my friend that much that I start seeing him in this boy? Yet there's similarities in both appearance and mannerisms that I can't let go. I swear he looks just like Shinichi when he was a child. I came across one of our childhood photos and mistaken him for Conan. Sure they're cousins but they can't look and act that similar can they?

To be frank, Conan scares me.

As much as I love and care for the boy, it feels as if Conan is filling a hole much larger than himself. It's impossible for a child to know so much of the intricacies of crime and detective work. He has his risked his life for my own countless times. That's not what a normal kid would do is it? He has this grave look on his face every once and while. I can't imagine what can be so terrible for a six year old to make such a face. Conan knows much more than he's letting on and it feels as if I'm always about to scratch the surface of something big.

Sometimes I fear that I'm forgetting what Shinichi looks like. His face blurs in my memory and melds together with Conan's. It's not as if they were that different to begin with but whenever I think of Shinichi I think of Conan.

And I can't separate them.

I'm scared of forgetting him.

I'm scared of replacing him.

But I think it's already

Too late

Does it feel like I've been forgotten?

Day by day I

Live in a body not of my own.

Live a life not of my own.

Hearing my name in passing comes less

and less

As if I was never real

and this body

Superimposed

on a mind distant

From what is

Watchthrough Thoughts

Pre-Episode 345

Old notes from a document of mine, roughly last updated November 8th, 2024

As of episode 200, i love this bitch. He’s so baby (and is also literal child) but he’s also dying inside (literally?). Bitch got murder all around him, and is solving that shit constantly. Unfortunate though because every time he got important shit to do, people die, like bruh? Sassy little guy. Also fuck his life sucks though his pain is great but also ouchie.

So many thoughts about shinichi. His constant guilt in lying to Ran. Becoming less of himself and more of who Conan is. Having things out of his control. Shinichi is such a tragic character. Although he will likely get his happy end and get back into his body, he’d still have to face the fallout of missing years of his normal life. One of the most compelling things about Shinichi is him living in a body that isn’t his and how he deals with that throughout the series. Sure he can still solve mysteries but he has to keep so many secrets from the ones he holds dear. Shinichi has some people who he can confide to but the one he wants to talk to the most is Ran. The Desperate Revival Arc is such a painful illustration of how much he misses being himself. Shinichi gets to experience after a long time of being Conan what it’s like to be a high schooler again and takes the opportunity to try and confess to Ran. Ultimately the universe doesn’t let him, forcing him back into a body too constricting for him to be free. - Episode 193 (Desperate Revival Arc)

It’s sad to think over the years he’ll forget what it was like to Kudo Shinichi.

Anyways that’s just the angst brain talking, we all know it’s actually only been 6 months. He’s fineeee. - Episode 278 (English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective)

Endings that make me sad about Shinichi: ED6, ED8 damn they were popping off with these.

BITCH WHEN I GET YOU. You’re actually insane.- Episode 345 (A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night)
