Hello ~ YES Thank you anon because now I can finally talk about one of my favourite characters in the series: Masumi Sera ♡ Let me tell you why I absolutely love this character:

She’s gone through so much shit still she manages to carry on

Like: her father died before she was born and her mother was poisoned with the same drug as Shinichi and now she has to protect her from the BO who probably want to kill her. She has to lie about a lot of things to everyone even if she doesn’t want to, also being is brother an FBI agent who was a spy in the BO her whole family is a target to the Organization, so she needs to be very careful cause she’s a target too. Also she came to Japan to find out more about his brother’s death because she doesn’t even know if he’s truly dead or if he’s alive, and she’s investigating alone. AND SHE’S LIKE 17??! How can one person be so responsible and mature and be just a teenager?! Kudos, Masumi, kudos.

She’s hella strong

Like, she could kick your ass any second if she wanted to. Look at that! Also let me remind you SHE LEARNT JEET KUNE DO THANKS TO HIS BROTHER’S TAPES WHEN SHE WAS JUST A CHILD. That’s some hard shit, people.

She’s hella smart

Thank you thank you thank you Gosho for finally giving us a strong and smart female detective among the main characters. You know, when I started watching DC after watching a lot of episodes I decided that I wanted to be a detective (I was in elementary school and a huge Sherlock Holmes fan too) , but it was all about Conan/Shinichi, Heiji, Hakuba, then again Shinichi, and Heiji, and sometimes Yusaku, and then again Conan/Shinichi, Heiji, Shinichi, Yusaku, Heiji… there were only male detectives. So when years later Masumi appeared I couldn’t be happier. Look at this:

She’s not like any other detective that could have appeared in the series. She’s as smart as Shinichi. She’s as smart as Shinichi. Her intuition game is as strong as the main character! I love th fact that Conan and Masumi come to the same conclusion at the same time, just like Conan and Heiji. And look at this:

Remember when Okiya said that Amuro and Conan are the two best investigators of Japan? Well, Sera Masumi can keep up with the two best investigators of Japan. How awesome is that? She’s so smart and probably she’s the character I’d want to be if I were in the DC universe.

She’s also adorable

Look at her

She isn’t involved in romantic stuff

!!! this is so important because if you think about it very character in Detective Conan has/had a romantic interest for someone else, but not Masumi! In this moment, all she wants to focus about is protecting her mother, find information about her brother and defeat the BO. I’m so happy about this because this really shows how a female character can be one of the best characters ever even without having feelings for someone else. I know some people think Masumi has feelings for Shinichi but I’ve already explained why I believe she doesn’t have feelings for him. Maybe in the future she’ll fall for someone but I’m happy that right now her character development doesn’t have anything to do with love stuff.

Honestly I could go on for hours talking about Masumi Sera cause I believe her character is one of the best choices Gosho Aoyama has ever made. Like, you can’t play games with her. You can’t fool her (after all, remember she’s Shuichi Akai’s little sister). She’s always gonna be one step ahead. She probably knows things about the BO and the APTX4969 that we don’t know yet. I can’t wait to read more about her and I’m thrilled to know how her character is gonna help the plot!
