What? No, that's wrong, they do that because saying "Ni" (two) makes you smile, similar to "Cheese" in English. "Ni" doesn't mean smile, it makes you smile by how it is pronounced. But saying "Two" doesn't make you smile in English, so it was changed to "Three", because that does make you smile in English.Bit of trivia here: when japanese people take pictures of kids, they ask them how much is one plus one. They answer "ni", which means two, but also means smile, hence why they all smile at the camera when answering. I believe the translators changed to three to make the same mouth movement due to "ee" sound at the end, which doesn't make sense considering this is not a dubbed anime.
Plenty of cases like that. Like, almost 40 cases of that kind in the past iirc? First case like that happened in Volume 2 (Chapter 10-12), the most recent one before this one was in Volume 92 (Chapter 978-980).What a strange chapter, it looks more like Columbo rather than the usual Conan cases. Does anyone remember an other case like this or is it a first?
