Madder is a plant (Rubia tinctorum) traditionally used to dye fabrics and leather. It gives a red color.

That's what I like about Detective Conan. It's fanbase showing off their homework to explain what's going on.

Viz changed the title in the English localization to make the meaning more transparent but I appreciate Black Tea Translations for keeping the original title intact.

I had already read it in Spanish but waited for this one to say I'm happy to have been wrong! Heiji finally managed to confess I'm very happy for him and Kazuha \o/
This relationship progressing might also cause some things to the Ran/Shinchi relationship as well, I'm sure seeing them happily together will triggers those loneliness and longing pangs in them, good stuff overall in that regard~

This case itself however was...it certainly was something haha, I originally was losing my mind over the two officers chasing after the paper (The paper for a code that is in the public domain and that could be easily checked with a cellphone might I add) and just leaving Mr. Suspect alone even if for a few seconds but honestly considering he wanted to take the fall (how ironic) for the first crime it was perhaps unlucky for him that they didn't notice him tamper with that body. No, what bothers me was indeed the perfect angle tablet trick because even ignoring the fact everyone that went to check on him was different heights the fact that no one approached him the second time (when they heard the scream) or noticed it is bizarre, the fact he didn't actually physically go to bed for that one is as well there's no reason to wait behind boxes even if the scream would seem closer; if anyone saw the tablet, if they for example went to get him to wake up because it sounds like there's trouble, or for some ungodly reason decided to check around the veranda as another saw the body or if more than 1 and a half pint worth of people had gathered there he might have not had a chance to blend in and later kill Not-Iori and at that point his plan would be ruined...
Though I suppose one could attribute this luck to the power of love, used in a twisted manner; It at least becomes a little less aggravating if you do.

Cool to see them use gallium to weaken aluminum though, I learned that one from LockPickingLawyer and I always like the Conan episodes that have cool trivia like that so I'm glad stuff like that's never going away!

Yeeeah, this case is so forced. Mirrors are often used in tricks, but this one is where it feels like it's pushing it.

Okay I know this makes me sound like a broken record, but what the hell is "Madder-Coloured Final Day"? How does a color go angry, let alone get angrier?
The original Japanese is 茜色 akane-iro. Akane is Rubia Argyi, which is part of the "madder" plant family (or, the Rubia genus). This is the exact shade of red:

Aside from very basic colours like red or blue, Japanese names for complex colours tend to use names of plants or animals or objects (e.g rust-coloured, tea-coloured, iron-coloured, rat-coloured etc). It's why these chapter titles have been like this.

Although the way the tablet was used like a Peppers Ghost illusion seemed unnecessarily risky, the recording in a trashing idea was a pretty smart way to stage a murder using tech. It's interesting to see how things have changed since Conan started, which was in a time when a lot of people didn't even have mobile phones or internet access.

That's the one strength of a floating timeline. New technology and new trends mean new opportunities to make up tricks for the story. I can't imagine how restrictive it would be for Gosho if the timeline wasn't adaptable, and he was stuck with 1990s technology.

Though voice recorders were a thing back then too (albeit very old and most certainly outdated) so I think he could have made this trick work if he were to still work with technology during that era

Weird resolution, but awesome Heizuha ending and surprising (plot-exaggerated?) trick of Sakura. Seems that the "hiatus" may not be as long as we think. Probably a Rum case before late December. I've heard the next or a soon-to-come case will feature Ran and Shinichi with WPS team 3 or 4 years ago.

Personally I like the case there were some parts that I didn’t see coming which I liked. I get why the chapter feels like such a stretch but at the same time I can’t help but think about how much we are tired of the filler chapters that are semi realistic but also boring. I think we are probably just to the point where we have seen it all and just need to wait to see how the story comes to a close. And I think Heiji and Kazuha is a step in that direction. P.S Conan’s why am I here face in the last panel made it worth the long wait. 😂😂

I don't think the code is in public domain. The semaphore lists that I checked from google were different, and I checked both International and JP versions.
As for the tablet trick, only Heiji and Conan were rushing to the balcony because of the scream. And the culprit quickly used those moments to slide the windows where he was hiding and got into the room. The problem was that Kuraishi didn't say anything even though she was there with the detective duo.

We? There are no "filler" manga chapters. Filler is used to mean the anime-only episodes because normally anime adaptations happen while the manga series are still ongoing as they are mainly glorified ads for the manga, but the production requires the former to have either a non-canon conclusion or filler once the anime catches up to the manga. The longer and more popular the manga, the bigger the anime filler episodes. For example, the shounen series like Naruto tend to have far more anime fillers that basically have subpar recycled tropes and content. Anime audience is the one having to wait for the canon manga chapters to be adapted by watching fillers, basically consuming the second-handed and NON-CANON contents. If you don't want to see more fillers, just don't touch the anime.

When did manga chapters start having filler? I don't know about you but Conan has never been so gung-ho on consistently releasing the so-called "plot" of BO. There was always a large gap between them. It's just when you get to the most updated, you feel the wait. But unlike you, not we, I'm fine with these "filler" chapters that you love to throw that phrase without actually knowing the meaning of, I'm interested when Gosho develops something that doesn't always have to do with BO.

After 1133 chapters, I have finally caught up with Detective Conan. It has been a great journey. And it's quite fitting that the final chapter I read for the binge is the one where Heiji and Kazuha finally get together

That's what I'm trying to do as well. I'm halfway through, in the middle of the Kir Arc.

I say after reading through hundreds of chapters of Detective Conan, you can get to familiarize Gosho's paneling techniques, how he evolve his character designs and see the manga- exclusive content that was omitted or changed in the anime.

Wow, that actually will be the case!

Well, at least this beats Strangers in 10 Years...in that, they still haven't confessed after 10 goddamn years!
