Conan’s Journey of Trust with Zero: The Black Organization Arc

When did Conan Start Talking to Zero about the Organization?
In the anime and manga series Detective Conan (also known as Case Closed), the interactions between Conan Edogawa and Tooru Amuro, who goes by the alias Zero, evolve over time, particularly during the Black Organization arc. Conan initially shows a degree of trust towards Amuro, particularly around the time marking the arcs where he starts to confide in Zero regarding the Black Organization.

Conan's Increasing Trust in Zero

Conan's trust in Zero grows as he begins to recognize Zero's skills as a detective and his interest in the organization, paired with Zero's complex dual role as both a public safety officer and a secret agent. This recognition leads to moments of mutual understanding between the two characters. As the series progresses, we see the trust between Conan and Zero deepen, particularly as they work together to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Black Organization.

A Specific Interaction with RUM

The moment when Conan asked Zero about someone linked to the Black Organization involves a pivotal incident. This person, RUM, is a subordinate to the boss of the Black Organization and is more critically dangerous than GIN. Interestingly, RUM was disguised as Sushi Chef Kanenori Wakita. During this incident, Conan overheard Zero and RUM's conversation, and just as Zero intervened, RUM interrupted. This interaction highlights the evolving trust between the two characters, as Zero's interruptions suggest a growing sense of mutual respect and understanding.

Further Developments in the Trust between Conan and Zero

The trust between Conan and Zero is further cemented through an episode where RUM, in the guise of an unknown individual, sends a message to Zero. The message, 'time is money' (translated to Japanese as 'Tokiwakanenari'), which could be jumbled to resemble 'Kanenari Wakita', fish chef. This message indicates that Zero trusts Conan, as it indirectly refers to the sushi chef identity, further deepening their bond and trust.

The Growing Relationship and Subsequent Arcs

The arc involving Akai Shuuichi, where Zero discovers that Akai is alive and orders the Japanese Secret Police to chase Jodie and Camel, marks a significant milestone in the relationship between Conan and Zero. After Akai's inducement to the Japanese Secret Police (JSP) and his phone conversation with Zero, where he hands over a gun, Akai states, "Zero is waiting for a chance to take down that damned organization... just like us." This statement further solidifies the mutual goal shared by both characters and their growing bond.

Conclusion and Future Prospects

As we look forward to the release of the 22nd movie featuring Zero and the Japanese Secret Police, there is a heightened anticipation for their dynamic and the deepening trust between all involved. This upcoming release promises to offer fresh insights into the complex relationship between the characters and the ongoing struggle against the Black Organization.
