Re: "Heroes" Who aren't

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the longer the story goes (IT WILL NEVER STOP) the more I want Ran to say "Fuck you" in the end, which will never happen (teeny tiny hope that at least Sonoko will).

I still love the murder mystery aspect for the most part, but the love story just 100% doesn't work for me anymore at this point. Too many other people that he also loves know (his parents, grandfatherly Professor Agasa, his best friend Heiji, Haibara - who is not only a friend now but also kinda his crime solving partner when she gets pagetime), so his excuse of wanting to protect Ran is getting flimsier as time goes on. At least people like Akai and Haibara already were involved know what they're up against.

The danger aspect aside. Ran has no idea that she doesn't have to worry about her great love most of the time cause Conan is there with her. She doesn't *know* that a teenage boy is living with her. She undresses in front of him, cuddles him and sometimes sleeps in a bed with him because she thinks he's a little boy. She trustingly TELLS him thinks about her feelings for Shinichi.
She doesn't know that the child she has gotten really attached to like a big sister *doesn't exist*.
The kicker is that we really never see Conan use Kogoro's connections (or whatever) to look for the Black Organization, so WHY is he still living with her and not with Professor Agasa?

I think the forced keeping of the status quo really hurts the story and paints Shinichi/Conan in a really bad light when you think about it a bit.
I know it's a shonen manga and that the main focus is murder and cool gadgets and I don't expect a realistic outcome for the emotional side of the story or any kind of fall-out that is not a comical karate chop "Don't ever do that again" moment, but I just can't with the love story anymore. :/

Aka I prefer Conan/Shinichi when he interacts with people who know at this point.

Ran gets screwed over so badly if you think about it. She loves and adores Conan and she loves and trusts Shinichi and when she finds out the truth she'll have been betrayed by two people she loves dearly and I really wish the story would move away from the Ran/Shinichi love story because it's so, so bad once you stop accepting the shonen tropes. Ran deserves better.

100% agreed that the story is best when Shinichi/Conan interacts with someone who knows. Or someone who at least doesn't have a personal connection with Shinichi and er get to enjoy the murder mystery
