Detective Conan/Heartwarming


 * After getting used to Aoyama thwarting kisses and otherwise making romance in Detective Conan proceed only a little more quickly than a glacier for over a decade, file 673 offered a genuine treat for fans.
 * Not to mention when  Heiji ends up cheering him up, and the girls comment the two are like brothers.
 * There's an episode when Shinichi's parents show up, tell him (after an episode-long test of his detective skills that nearly gave him a heart attack SEVERAL times) that they know he's stuck in a little boy's body, and they still love him and he has their approval to keep fighting crime and looking for the evil organization on his own. Oh, and they're proud of him.
 * Another moment comes from Ayumi realizing Ai Haibara is the only friend she calls by her last name, and spending the arc trying to get up the nerve to call Haibara by her first name. The arc ends with Haibara having realized this and giving Ayumi permission to be on a First-Name Basis. Also combines with Crowning Moment of Funny for this troper since she immediately shoots down the boys' request before they can even get the question out.
 * Chapters 548 and 549 featured the kids' teacher, Kobayashi, giving her students a rainy day activity. She "mysteriously vanishes" and leaves clues for the kids to deduce her hiding place with. She even goes so far as to have Conan called out of class so he doesn't solve it too quickly. The story's end reveals Kobayashi deliberately took two students, a girl who had just transferred there and a boy who had been away for medical reasons, and made their names vital to solving the riddles with the ultimate aim of integrating these two students into the class and making sure nobody would forget their names.
 * Don't forget the Mermaids episode.
 * A filler episode include a girl named Haruna, whose parent is exact same as Ran. Haruna want her parent to come back but they don't get the hint until.
 * "Haven't you realised yet?, Think of Haruna-chan feeling after she took the Rainbow's child. Harun-chan was lonely, her mom left her for long time and her dad work nonstop everyday. That when she thought of combindning two scluptures into one thinking this would bring back her family just like the stork that would bring happiness."
 * For me, it was the sea snake case during volume 17. You could clearly see that the character Harumi, the "villain" for that case, didn't really want to have done it and regretted it afterward, seeing as how, during the time that Conan was revealing the scheme piece by piece, she never even attempted to deny anything or tell him, "Well what about...?" The whole time she simply let him continue along, all the while looking almost sad and disappointed in herself. Once she admits to why she did it, even if she said at first that Kiwako probably deserved it, she begins crying at this point, telling you that even SHE doesn't believe that and that she hates having done it. Then, when Kiwako recovers and she goes there to apologize for what she did, it is instead Kiwako who apologizes for not having realized Harumi's feelings. I mean, Harumi practically killed her out of jealousy, but Kiwako just takes it in stride and accepts what happened as karma. It's no wonder Harumi practically admits her crime and begins crying again. And from what we're aware, Kiwako simply keeps it a secret, which means that Harumi totally escaped going to prison simply because of her kindness. To this day, that case remains one of my favorite because, in the end, nobody dies and villain seems to learn a valuable lesson while not getting arrested for it.
 * This tropette saw the anime rendition of this case (episodes 114 and 115, "Scuba Diving Murder Case".) Believe me, it was just as beautiful.
 * In addition, this case is also a great example of showing how much Conan has matured as a human being, not just as a detective. He recognizes early (as does Eri) that it was an attempted murder, but doesn't shout out this fact to everyone in earshot (as he often does), and when it's time to confront Harumi, he does it with just Eri and Ran present, no cops, none of the other suspects. He learned his lesson from the Moonlight Sonata case, and here treats it as a human case, not just as a complicated puzzle to be solved.
 * Speaking of the Moonlight Sonata case, why isn't it here? The villain sets the music hall on fire after Conan realises the truth: Conan follows to try to stop her.  This troper can still remember the image of that burning hall and Conan.
 * In the 2nd Movie: The Fourteenth Target, Ran learns the real reason Eri divorced her father - She made him a thank-you dinner after he saved her life, and he yelled at her, telling her that if that was the best she could cook, she should go to bed. It took a minute for this troper to realize that it was actually his way of showing he cared; she'd been injured and he wanted her to rest up instead of cooking!
 * At the end of episode 200, Kogorou admits that he misses Eri and asks her to come back, not knowing that she had earphones in and couldn't hear him. Later we find out she was listening and in fact recording what he said and plays it over and over to herself saying, "Not yet, for something like that", while blushing.
