As a classic "lifetime" series, "Detective Conan" can be said to have accompanied the growth of countless people. Although Conan, the protagonist of the work, has always been a first-grade elementary school student, in fact, we can also feel the development of technology and the changes of the times in the work, the most typical of which is the communication method that appears in the work.
In this day and age, when it comes to taking pictures, many people will pick up their mobile phones as soon as possible. And in the first episode of the "Detective Conan" manga, when Conan, who was still Shinichi Kudo at the time, witnessed the transaction of the Black Organization, he was also going to take pictures, but he was still holding a camera at the time.
In the early days of the Detective Conan manga, the characters generally used landline phones for communication, after all, mobile phones were not widely used at the time. is also a landline phone, so it has also derived a classic reasoning routine, that is, the character is trapped in a certain place, and the telephone line is also cut, which forms a large enclosed space, such as "The Bandage Freak Murder Incident" is this routine.
afterWireless landlines began to appear in the comics, and when not in use, they were placed on the base, and when they came to call, they could pick up and answer and walk around at will, of course, this kind of wireless phone also has a certain range. So do you know what the first time a mobile phone appears in the comics? Who are the consumers?
If you don't count the lunchbox-type fax machine and earring-type mobile phone invented by Dr. Asasa, the first appearance of a mobile phone should be in the manga episode 102 "TV Station Murder". In this episode, the character TV host Takashi Matsuo bought a big brother, and at that time, Kogoro Mori also took a mobile phone to shoot a public service announcement, saying that the wireless phone of the big brother is easy to be tapped.
And the first time the protagonist Conan owned a mobile phone was in the case of episode 470 of the manga, "The Dissonance of the Stradivari Violin", when his mobile phone was still the kind of old-fashioned clamshell machine. For a long time after that, Conan used the old-fashioned clamshell machine, that is, there were some differences between the manga and anime phone models.
Until the cover of chapter 796 of the manga, Conan's mobile phone was finally replaced with a smartphone.
It's just that Conan is not the first person to use a smart phone in the work, and the first person to use a smart phone is Gray Hara, who uses a smart phone without physical buttons in 680 words.
It is worth mentioning that although most of the characters in "Detective Conan" now use smartphones, Xiaolan's mobile phone is still the old-fashioned flip phone. Maybe it's because this phone was given by Kudo Shinichi, so Xiaolan has been reluctant to replace it.
In the recent plot of the comics, video bloggers have begun to appear in the worksand the concept of live broadcasting.
From landlines to smartphones, the evolution of communication tools in Detective Conan quietly records the trajectory of the times. However, looking back at the changes from landlines to smartphones in the works, we can see that Conan's youth has long been frozen in these little details, turning into precious memories that will never fade.
