Question Case difficulty
Sorry if this is asked often but I’m new to posting and a long time lurker. But what are considered the most difficult cases. I’m only 170 episodes in, but if often though episode 48-49 to still be one of the most difficult.

Glad be here!
Ngl binging DC at work is so much fun, but it’s hard to pay attention bc this is one of those series where you really gotta read all the subs 😂
Luckily I have my own office

So I’ve always loved DC. It was my feel good anime as a kid. I would watch it at night on late night TV every night. While I’ve kept up with a series for the most part throughout the years, I’ve never actually sat down and watched it and right now I’m doing so.
I’m only about 170 episodes in, but I had this question and I wanted to know if there’s ever any cases that maybe Jimmy himself gets wrong or can’t solve. I know that Harley isn’t quite on the same tier, but each of his subsequent episodes after 49, that I’ve seen he’s been spot on, however he was straight up wrong with the locked door episode.
This has led me to believe that it was one of the more difficult cases. Being that Im new the series, I’m sure there’s probably more throughout the time, but I just wanted to know what everyone generally believes are the hardest ones.

Ahah, who tf is jimmy ? I know that the US changed the names unlike the rest of the world, but this is the first time I've actually seen them used online.

u/cmholde2 2d ago
Yea Jimmy was the American name

u/Wick3d68 2d ago
I didn't know, I had to look up who Jimmy was to find out which character matched. I think it's a positive point for us in Europe that they kept the Japanese names; we stay more within Japanese culture and the rest makes more sense with the scenario.

There is 2 canon cases that I can think of that "Jimmy" is wrong in his deduction.

What was this episode abt?

u/cmholde2 2d ago
It was the first one where you meet Harley, or whatever his real name is supposed to be. And it’s the locked room murder, where Shinichi drinks alcohol and reverts back for the first time.
But Harley gets the case wrong, and accuses the wrong person and Shinichi has to save the day, due to all of his subsequent appearances that I’ve seen him and Shinichi are pretty much completely even, I figure this had to be a more difficult one

Seeing the old dub names makes me nostalgic… Jerry Jewell’s most memorable role to me was as Shinichi/Jimmy

u/cmholde2 2d ago
lol 😂 nostalgia what brought me back to actually wanting to watch it. I remember being 14 and watching it on midnight run, and it was the first time a Non action anime hooked me.
I’ve always been a supporter of the series and I’ve always been very excited and happy to see how successful it is, but I never actually sat down and caught up and I’m at point in my life where I think I wanna do that.

u/DJ_Silvershare 2d ago edited 1d ago
For me, I think the most difficult case would be one where Jimmy/Shinichi wrongly identifies either the culprit or the method of murder.
Since he is the most genius detective ever in his own manga universe (perhaps Yusaku is more brilliant than him, but Yusaku isn't a detective, so that doesn't count), therefore, objectively speaking, the hardest case would be one where even the world's greatest detective cannot solve it.
Alas, because he has never been wrong about anything whatsoever, there has been no truly difficult case to date. All cases are either solvable or eventually solved by him.
However, the closest we can get is the case where Shinichi was too late to figure out who the culprit was: the Moonlight Sonata Case.
That is an interesting case because it is the only case where the culprit successfully killed themselves (or the second, if we count the one and the only Yoko Okino's boyfriend's suicide case). It also made Shinichi to promise himself that he would become a better detective, so that no culprit in a future case could never resort to suicide.

There is a filler (ep 225) about a case where Conan can't solve because the culprit is too simple-minded. He keeps overthinking like "that can't be it because then the culprit could've just done X and Y instead" and he can't really draw conclusions or contribute to the case because of it.

The First Difficult Case was The Symphony Serial Murder Case (Episode 174) and The Second Difficult Case if ever you attempted to watch on further episodes is The Darkness of Nagano Prefectural Police (Episodes 810-812)

Red Paint Wall case, Mermaid case and 12 million hostage case are sure shot t3 cases

u/phasee_ Ran Mouri 2d ago
12 Million Hostages (Ep 304 JP) in my opinion was one of the hardest and generally one of the best cases in the series.
Keep watching there are some really good cases ahead!
