The gang is chillin at the beach and three fisherman happen to be around talking about a meetup. At the hotel the friends arrive at different times... except for one. One of the friend calls him and can only hear ocean waves... We go check the beach and I think you know what happens next. Who did it!?

Ran's speech could have been used for anyone else but that murder victim was mad evil

This is a fire case not only due to the case itself but because of the connection between Haibara and Ran :) Haibara/Shiho begins to see Ran as a sister, almost like her late elder sister Akemi. I wish Akemi had survived– she'd have been such a good character. To get deep, I particularly appreciate Ran's line, "courage is used to conjure feelings of justice. It should never be used to justify taking someone's life" (the translation is a bit different here from other places, but it gets the point across). This is one reason why I like the Detective Conan series. Aoyama Gosho did not simply write a detective story that consists of cerebral deduction and action-packed chasing scenes, but embedded a moral philosophy throughout. That no matter what, taking matters into one's own hands, even if to take revenge on a terrible person that deserved severe punishment, is morally wrong and ultimately cannot be deemed as justice. While it is very understandable, the fact is that it is done out of self-satisfaction and not from a sense of justice. Of course, it is very difficult for people to resist such vengeful desires when they are the victims, which is why it takes great 'courage' for one to allow justice to take its course rather than give into their selfish desire to take revenge (again it is very understandable and I myself cannot say confidently if I have such courage within me). If taking revenge was considered a form of justice, then the police shouldn't waste time to shoot and kill that man Noboru on the spot right then and there without any litigation and court sentence. But that would not be what serving justice looks like, does it? That would make the police and whomever 'got it back in blood' become the new criminal(s). They would become the same kind of person the perpetrator became when he/she decided to kill someone. It'd be a vicious cycle of self-satisfaction and revenge on one another; everyone loses at that point. Miyazaki's Ghibli film, "Princess Mononoke" (1997) comes to mind as it focuses on this moral conflict (one of my favorite films) between the people of iron town and the forest, with Ashitaka trying to end the vicious cycle of hate and violence. It is natural and easy for an affected person to harbor feelings of revenge and take out one's anger and anguish (me included) – it is very difficult for one to have the courage to allow justice (i.e., in the form of the public, the police, the courts) to rain down upon the perpetrator and have them realize the sheer weight of their wrongdoing for all of the world to see. While it is not immediately satisfying, despite our human nature it ultimately is what is needed for everyone's good (I'm saying this as someone who has spoken with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people as part of my work). Now that is what we can consider justice served! Alright, this is the end of my short essay heh heh – I didn't mean to get so deep in an anime reaction channel

Theres something hilarious to me about Haibara commenting about butts knowing she studied in America at one point. She probably heard convos about that from her fellow peers but never commented until she met Conan or something lol. This was such a fire case, both for the plot but also for little tiny B plots like Haibara. If you ever have the time Jay, theres a beautiful illustration of the scene from the beach that the author, Aoyama, made. For years I forgot what its significance was, but seeing it here reminded me why it was so special. Fire reaction as always, thanks for the early Conan gift lol

Just to clarify, Haibara's speech about dolphins and sharks was a metaphor, where Ran would be the popular dolphin and Haibara is the shark who fled from the cold bottom of the sea

Beautiful work of art :) There are also many other works from Aoyama depicting special scenes from throughout the series and ones that aren't seen in the series.
