Actor trivia:
Yusa Chiemi is played by Season 5 Miyuki, Kamishiraishi Moka.
S4 Kenmochi is played by Gaim's DJ Sagara.

Overall a fun and interesting episode, and a good start to the series.
I wonder if I'm left or right footed.
I think I'm right-footed, despite being left-handed.
I can't believe the police didn't investigate who Honda's relatives were the moment they learned of his name? They didn't even check who filed the request to look for him?
56:47 - Makabe makes a Yabe Kenzou reference here?
Is Kurokawa dumb? A murder just happened and you set up a trap to injure someone?
Poor Kenmochi. He took the first cup. He took the dirty cup.
This is why I really wished Season 5 Miyuki met Yamada Ryosuke when S5 Kindaichi met him. Would have been a funny conversation.

>I think I'm right-footed, despite being left-handed.

A left handed?!

56:47 - Makabe makes a Yabe Kenzou reference here?

Is it? Is that move specifically a Yabe thing?

>This is why I really wished Season 5 Miyuki met Yamada Ryosuke when S5 Kindaichi met him. Would have been a funny conversation.

How can Kindaichi have cards for all the girls in the school but not know about the star actress of the Film Club?

Wait, was Kindaichi trying to goad Nanase into getting the role on purpose? Hmmm... nah

That corpse reveal sure is elaborate. Why would the murder go to so much work. LOL, I like how they can't tell he's dead till after the mask falls off

I like how none of the suspects have any alibis. Normally not having an alibi would be useful, but not if no one has one to eliminate them as suspects

I like how Kindaichi instantly bullies the guy into showing him the movie

Theyr'e all watching the movie? Aren't they busy? lol at the dumb face Kindaichi is making during the moie

Is this an active crime scene? Why are the kids allowed to keep filming and accessing their stuff XD

It's pretty fun to see DJ Sagara play a straight man

Everyone is so used to Saki filming everything that no one cares that he's filming them jump over a puddle

Is the secret to this mystery really about how people jump?

Did Saki pirate the movie with his camera?

When did Saki have time to edit all this?

What? Why can't DJ Sagara kick down this set of doors? He just did it!

Two more people just died, but yeah, let's all watch the film

LOL, again the kids are allowed to wander around an active crime scene

One locked room mystery isn't enough, let's do two rooms.

Love that the fan in the mystery inc room says this on the fan:
自画自賛 【じがじさん】 (n) singing one's own praises, praising one's own wares

I like the active updating character chart. That's a nice touch

wtf is going on with this cup math. Takahashi Yuya! Why did you write this?

I like the A in Kurasawa's vase is a microphone for yelling at actors

God is this mystery erally going to be solved with math

LOL the explanation for the keys in the guy's hand is so ridiculous

So she's the murderer then she becomes Miyuki in season 5? so weird. And what is she? 14?

How many hours did it take her to set all this stuff up

[20:10] <~takenoko2> I wonder who's brother the stuntman was to, maybe that girl
[20:12] <|discord|> <xiiliea> such a clairvoyant!
[20:12] <~takenoko2> it's how all these episodes are written!

Good thing she was eavesdropping just as they were confessing their crimes

Wait what is this tonal shift. This isn't how they were acting when Miyuki was listening. /me rolls eyes. She was right to kill these guys, and this weird backpedaling to make it seem like she was in the wrong is crappy writing

"56:47 - Makabe makes a Yabe Kenzou reference here?

Yeah, Yabe tends to go "Yoshi, wakatta!" and does that move.

> Was he not straight in Gaim?

Is the secret to this mystery really about how people jump?
> Strangely everyone jumped with the same foot. Were there no right-footers in the room? Did he just prove that every human on earth is left-footed?

What? Why can't DJ Sagara kick down this set of doors? He just did it!
> Ultis have long cooldowns.

I like the active updating character chart. That's a nice touch
> It's a throwback to season 2, but it's much more informative and clearer this time.

> Miyuki's dark past.

Wait what is this tonal shift. This isn't how they were acting when Miyuki was listening. /me rolls eyes. She was right to kill these guys, and this weird backpedaling to make it seem like she was in the wrong is crappy writing
> I think technically she was in the wrong, except she didn't know the real truth. They technically didn't murder her brother so they didn't deserve to be killed, but maybe deserved to be exposed and charged or something.

[takenoko]

> Was he not straight in Gaim?

He was pretty wacky. Here, Kindaichi is the oddball and he's reacting to that

> Strangely everyone jumped with the same foot. Were there no right-footers in the room? Did he just prove that every human on earth is left-footed?

I thought I saw some opposites?

> I think technically she was in the wrong, except she didn't know the real truth. They technically didn't murder her brother so they didn't deserve to be killed, but maybe deserved to be exposed and charged or something.

Yeah, but that part is the same regardless. It was always an accident, but she kills them because they were remorseless about it when she's eavesdropping
