"Cased Closed - One Truth Prevails"

[ickaimp]

Well, good news and bad news.
Detective Conan has been re-named (copyright conflict with 'Conan') to "Case Closed".

Ran = Rachel Moore
Kogoro = Richard Moore
Shin'ichi = Jimmy Kudo
Teitan = Titan
Agasa and Conan remain the same.

'Neechan insists that 'Jimmy' comes from Jimmy Olsen from Superman.
*glasses on* "I'm Clark Kent/Edogawa Conan"
*glasses off* "I'm Superman!/Kudo Shin'ichi!"

First reaction: "Doooooooooom."
Second reaction: Moore? Like Benjamin Moore? The paint company?
Third reaction: OMIGOD!!! KOGORO'S BECOME A PORN STAR!!!

Anybody remember the first Robin? Richard Greyson? Remember what he was normally called?

Dick.

In Kogoro's case: Dick Moore. (Moore, Dick? Private Dick!!)

Case Closed. One Truth Prevails.

We have nothing further to say.

Well... Case Closed, huh? I think that's the only part that didn't make me want to bang my head on the table. Funnily enough, the "One truth prevails" thing is reminiscent of the cheesy slogans DC already likes to throw around. How about that.

I can see the transition from Ran Mouri to Rachel Moore if I squint my eyes and pretend that only English-speaking-world-prevalent names exist in the world. And well, as for the nickname of Richard... it's what Kogoro unintentionally is on occasion anyhow. But Jimmy. Jimmy Kudo. That just about made me cry. What'll they do to my poor Heiji-kun and Hakuba?

Well, let's be faintly optimistic too. I got into Cardcaptor Sakura after I saw one episode of the dub, recoiled in horror, and looked up the real thing. There's still hope. We'll band together.
