Detective Conan: Who I want Shinichi to end up with





I have been watching detective conan for a while and I'm 24 episodes behind the latest one. For the past 621 episodes, I have been always annoyed by the girl named Ran Mouri AKA the obsessed girl with the crazy eyes -- "which is an indicatior of mental instability".-HIMYM 
Check, Ran's Suspicions - Episode 400 (where she tries to input several pin code possibilities into conan's cellphone with the suspicion that he is shinichi practically trespassing into a person's personal life) and Holmes' Revelation - Episode 617 (Where she chases shinichi like crazy and demands him to answer her questions like she owns him, walks out thinking that everything she researched for was useless. Even though he didnt ask for it and its not necessary force yourself to like the things your love interest likes.)

So, the question is, Who I want Kudou Shinichi to end up with? 

Well, obviously, anyone except for Ran. She just annoys the hell out of me. I dont think she's in love with Shinichi. The proper term would be infatuated/obsessed with his detective side (she always talks to herself, example,--> If Shinichi were here, he would be able to figure it out----- even though Shinichi as a detective is only one side of him). Anyone who will and might end up to someone who is obsessed would just throw away their lives, in simple terms, its just self destruction, bound to be tied up with demands into which gives the other party the comfort of the idea of being in love, eternally, making the victim miserable for life. 

In the future, assuming that Shin x Ran would end up together, I can see Shinichi as a police detective and Ran as (i dont know). So, If ever Shinichi gets assigned to a case which is somehow miles away, I can predict that ran would end up crying 24/7. Making shinichi feel guilty/worried and thus, he quits being a detective and accepts a deskjob. Living a daily boring life of home and office, bottling up his detective instincts for the sake of love. That is just so sad. He's just like a bird in a cage. Trapped by a witch who just could not accept that he is a human being and he has other things to do aside from being her lover. 

I have to add that, it doesnt matter how long you have known each other, it also doesnt matter if you have a past relationship. It also doesnt matter who like the person first.  Also, a happy ending does not mean Ran and Shinichi got together because that is just a minor part of the story. And its not even connected to the whole plot where Conan tries to find a way into turning back to Shinichi. 

Plus, ran reminds me of Bella Swan. The most important thing for her is about how she and Shinichi would get together. I remember where she's being sad (imagines herself preparing a meal for Shinichi but Shinichi is nowhere to be found) and Conan has to remind her on several occasions that you can do it for your father. She does it anyway but the way Gosho portrayed her eyes doesnt convince me of her action. 

Some people say I focus too much on Ran's negative characteristics. But I have to say that everyone in the story has negative characteristics and I dont hate them at all! Example, Hattori being a hothead, Sonoko being a flirt, Genta being just plain annoying, Korogo being boastful of something he did not do, annoying, alcoholic, chain smoker and a gambler. Which proves my claim that Ran, despite her angelic positive characteristics, has negative characteristics that out shadows the positive one's. I can say that she's the counterpart of Kazuha when it comes to positive traits. Ran's negative traits however is enough to strip me off my patience make me cringe and yell out "WHAT AN ANNOYING B*TCH" which I did days ago. 

Ah I forgot to mention, some of you might say that she's not like Bella. So, to prove my claim, well, she thinks about love all the time and she cries because of love all the time. The things she does mainly comprises of her obeying people when they tell her to call the police, being a nuisance to Conan while he tries to investigate, occasionally try to help her parents make up on several episodes which you can count using your fingers, crying over small things, whining about ghosts, trying to help people with the usual thought of "If Shinichi were here, he would be able to solve this case easily" and last but not the least, the highlight of her character, crying endlessly, worry about her lovelife and just being hopeless romantic in almost all of the episodes. 

Therefore I conclude that Gosho made the worst heroine and the worst portrayal of a girl because her character gives me the impression that she could barely survive without the person she is infatuated with. She might even end up being insane because she focuses too much on her love life despite the fact that there are other things normal people do and love is just a small part of it. 

Ahh. I made it too long, I have strayed away from the main point. This one should be entitled How I hate Ran Mouri. (and how I want her to be brutally tortured slowly and painfully to the point where she begs to die.)
