[[folder:Kouji Haneda and Amanda Hughes]]

Two persons who died in similar and ''very'' mysterious circumstances several years ago. Kouji was a mentor-like figure for Shuukichi Haneda and a shogi champion who also played chess, Amanda was a rich American woman and a fan of his, and both of them perished in the same American hotel. [[spoiler: Ai says that Kohji Haneda's name was on the list of people killed by APTX 4869.]]

[[ThemeNaming Mandatory Naming Note]]: "Kouji Haneda" (羽田 浩司 Haneda Kōji?) probably comes from Yoshiharu Habu (羽生 善治 Habu Yoshiharu?) and Kōji Tanigawa (谷川 浩司 Tanigawa Kōji?), real-life shogi players.

* BigBrotherMentor: Kouji was this to Shuukichi, who apparently [[MeaningfulRename took up his surname]] out of respect for him. [[note]](Kohji's given name is 浩司, and the first character's radicals are (氵 ノ 土 口). 土 is earth's do. Shukichi's given name is spelled 秀𠮷, with the final "kichi" kanji also including the radical for earth's do. This 𠮷 for kichi is a very rare variant; 99% of the time kichi is written as 吉 with 士 (man/samurai's shi) instead.)[[/note]]

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: The very smart Kouji played both traditional chess and shougi, which is known as "Japanese chess".

* NiceGirl: A friendly and modest person.

* SpoiledSweet: She's very, ''very'' rich and famous, but remains a very kind and gentle girl nevertheless. It's another reason why she's so popular.

* MI6: [[spoiler: As of File 1037 and 1038, Conan has realized that Mary worked for MI6. Notably, the series uses the actual name, Secret Intellegence Service/SIS, along with the MI6 name.]]

* MegatonPunch: [[spoiler: Makoto officially becomes the ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' of the ''Conan'' universe; sending groups of thugs [[OneHitKill out to Marina Bay]]]].

** In ''The Fist of Blue Sapphire'' his bandage strip is revealed to be [[spoiler: a GoodLuckCharm with a sticker photo of Sonoko and himself attached inside of it]].

* MegatonPunch: [[spoiler: Makoto officially becomes the ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' of the ''Conan'' universe; sending groups of thugs [[OneHitKill out to Marina Bay.]]

* BattleAura: [[spoiler: Revealed in teaser trailer for 2019’s movie, ''The Fist of Blue Sapphire.'']]

* PointlessBandAid: Near his left eye.

* SkilledButNaive: Very talented karate expert, yet somewhat naive in social interactions. Creator/NobuyukiHiyama confirmed this very trope is what gives Makoto his [[HumanityEnsues humanity]]; indicating Makoto is weaker in mentality compared to his impeccable physical strength and skill.
->'''Hiyama:''' “Kyogoku’s [[ChasteHero very]] [[TheIngenue pure]]. As much as I’m certain he wouldn’t lose over any straightforward (physical) fights that are placed in front of his face, I would say he can be easily deceived by [[ConMan con artists]]...In martial arts, practitioners are required to train in ‘Heart, Skill, and Strength.’ While Kyogoku’s training in ‘Skill, and Strength’ is in near completion, his mentality still has a long way to go.”

* BadassGrandpa: His first appearance has him stopping a thief who snabbed Sonoko's purse...while on a motorcycle. He also thinks of some strange, but brilliant and intricate methods to catch Kaitou Kid; they always fail, but the feat is still impressive.

* CoolOldGuy: Outside of his fervour in capturing Kaito Kid, he is a very amiable person and gets along well with his niece and her friends.

* BadassGrandpa: The few images seen of Samizu portrays him as an old man, and given the neat contraptions he made during his lifetime, he was damn good at his work.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She's covered in scars and is far more threatening beneath her facade. [[spoiler:Not to mention she seemed to have known the deceased Kouji Haneda.]]

* BettyAndVeronica: The mysterious, girly, [[TheOjou ojou]] "Veronica" to Kazuha's tomboyish, HotBlooded childhood friend "Betty" for Heiji's "Archie". {{Subverted|Trope}} in that [[spoiler: the promise Heiji made with Momiji wasn't of marriage]] and he's already in love with Kazuha, though Momiji still hasn't lost hope of winnning his affection.

** To Asami Uchida -- Both are the apparent {{first love}}s to a high school detective, considered beautiful, and talented, something that causes the detective's main love interest insecurity. Asami was acquainted with Shinichi and Ran in their middle school years, had a friendly relationship with Ran, deliberately lied about being Shinichi's FirstLove because she wanted to "be a little mean", and accepted Shinichi would never return her feelings; Momiji had a chance encounter with Heiji as children which he forgot and met up with him and Kazuha as teens, her relationship with the latter is laced with passive-aggression, she genuinely thought she was Heiji's FirstLove (it turned out to be a miscommunication on her part), and remains in love with Heiji. Also, while Asami was one-shot character with a SmallRoleBigImpact, Momiji is a recurring character.

* HopelessSuitor: It turns out [[spoiler: her pinky promise with Heiji was ''not'' a marriage proposal.]] Also, while he doesn't hate her, his feelings are more geared towards Kazuha.

* GenreRefugee: The reason why Makoto [[PutOnABus is constantly traveling outside of Japan]], and have Sonoko painfully enduring a LongDistanceRelationship is because [[WordOfGod the dude who created him]] made him way too [[Main/{{Superhero}} physically powerful of a character]] for a DetectiveDrama, and [[HoldingBackThePhlebotinum has to limit his appearance count]]. According to Aoyama (and also lampshaded by Makoto’s very own [[Creator/NobuyukiHiyama voice actor]]), if Makoto is placed in story too often, Makoto for one, [[GameBreaker can literally transform the genre of this series]]. See WorldsStrongestMan for further explanation.

* ScaryShinyGlasses: If anyone flirts with Sonoko without his consent, his glasses will certainly let out a grave warning.

** WordOfGod confirmed Makoto is the strongest character in physicality of the entire ''Detective Conan'' cast, mentioning "in a world with no superpowered characters, Makoto is the closest this (''Conan'') world can have;" [[GenreSavvy Aoyama]] also refers Makoto as “The man who stumbled himself into the wrong genre.”
