History Characters / DetectiveConanTheBlackOrganization

* [[spoiler: Her willingness to break character for the sake of those she secretly cares about is foreshadowed by the set up of the above conflict; her putting her own life at risk to protect Conan during the ski trip busjacking is what causes the FBI to start seriously investigating Conan, setting up Jodie's and Vermouth's eventual confrontation]].

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Pisco knew of Haibara's true identity and there was no way the story could continue for Haibara if Pisco was still alive. But the heroes didn't even need to do anything about that as Gin suddenly killed Pisco for screwing up an assassination.

* {{Expy}}: His design is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach Danpei Tange from ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe''. As Rum, Gosho also says that he was inspired by Colonel Sebastian Moran from the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' novel series.

* TheReveal: After literally more than twenty real-time years and about a thousand chapters into the story, we finally get a lead on the identity of just who Ano Kata is: [[spoiler:the presumably long dead Renya Karasuma, mentioned all the way back in an old chapter.]]

* SuspectIsHatless: The only clue of Ano Kata's true identity, that Aoyama left to readers, was that they were one of the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters whose full names have been revealed throughout the story. [[spoiler:A thousand chapters in, the closest lead we have is the supposedly dead Renya Karasuma, who had been mentioned all the way back in an earlier case.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: He has a voice-only introduction in Movie 20, though he could've easily been using a voice changer. [[spoiler:His first real appearance is chronologically earlier, during a flashback to Akai's loyalty test in File 602 as an old man]].
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: [[spoiler:Looks substantially different in File 602 than he does today, with or without disguise, though MagicPlasticSurgery could be the reason for this]].

** [[spoiler:It is confirmed in File 1066 that he is indeed Rum and that "Kanenori Wakita" is just an alias, and further revealed that he was the old man from File 602 who 'accidentally' outed Akai as an FBI spy. It remains to be seen if he is the same person as Asaka]].

* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Bourbon has told Conan that Rum is known for his exceeding impatience, and that (if actually involved) it contributed to the botched way the murders of Kohji Haneda and Amanda Hughes were carried out.

* FanBoy: Of Kogoro, and gets very angry at anybody insults or demeans the man in any way. [[spoiler:This is just a convenient excuse to get close to Kogoro and investigate him, and there doesn't seem to any proof that Wakita's devotion to Kogoro is sincere as Rum]].

** [[spoiler:Again in his first appearance, suspect of the week Tsunetaka Harashima wants to go home and watch ''[[https://64.media.tumblr.com/2a7361db3525bae7c684c7e4f93d8816/tumblr_inline_ojmr38vD721rwx3xw_500.png Kamen Yaiba]]'' [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/2a7361db3525bae7c684c7e4f93d8816/tumblr_inline_ojmr38vD721rwx3xw_500.png because the evil organization's second-in-command]] is making an appearance.

* EmbarrassingNickname: More specifically, embarrassing [[spoiler:alias as [[InvokedTrope invoked]] by Vodka, who regards the alias he took (a rearrangement of his CatchPhrase) as a "silly name", something which apparently piques the suspicions of Conan and Akai]].

* {{Expy}}: His design is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach Danpei Tange from ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe''. As Rum, Gosho also says that he was inspired by Colonel Sebastian Moran from the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' novel series.

* EyepatchOfPower: He wears an eyepatch on his injured left eye. [[spoiler:The real Rum doesn't wear an eyepatch, while as Wakita he wears medical gauze to conceal his false eye]].

* OlderThanHeLooks: [[spoiler:Looks his alleged age of 56 as Wakita, but is completely bald and with white hair without his wig and mustache. It's apparently enough to pass as a senior citizen in the Camel flashback]].

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. [[spoiler:The old man who Camel scares away unwittingly outs "Dai Moroboshi" as an FBI spy but later is confirmed to have been intentional]].

* DarkIsEvil: ''All'' of them wear black clothing and are the ruthless, amoral antagonists of the series.
* ImmortalitySeeker: [[spoiler: It's implied that the Black Organizations research, specifically that which Ai was involved with, was centered around a way to become immortal.]]

* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Wakita gets pretty creepy when on the topic of being deceived or hoodwinked. In chapter 1027, he compares traitors to [[SnakeOilSalesman cheating fish-sellers]]. This turns from disturbing to outright terrifying once [[spoiler:Wakita turns out to be Rum, since this means he knows Amuro fed him false information about Shinichi's death and isn't happy about it. Worse, it is hinted that he knows Amuro is a PSB mole]].

The second-in-command of the Black Organization, rumoured to have many faces and names. [[spoiler:In chapter 1066, it is revealed that Kanenori Wakita, an gauze-wearing sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi is the real Rum, wearing a false mustache, wig and buck-teeth to get closer to Kogoro]].

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:The old man from Camel's flashback is revealed to be Rum, having innocuously walked by to search for intruders, forcing Camel to warn him away and ruining an operation to capture Gin. Chapter 1066 tells us that he sent Korn a picture afterwards cancelling the appointment between Rye and Gin and ordering him to shoot him and Camel on-sight]].

* EarlyBirdCameo: He has a voice-only introduction in Movie 20, though he could've easily been using a voice changer. [[spoiler:His first real appearance is chronologically earlier, during a flashback to Akai's loyalty test in chapter 602 as an old man]].
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: [[spoiler:Looks substantially different in chapter 602 than he does today, with or without disguise, though MagicPlasticSurgery could be the reason for this]].

** [[spoiler:It is confirmed in chapter 1066 that he is indeed Rum and that "Kanenori Wakita" is just an alias, and further revealed that he was the old man from chapter 602 who 'accidentally' outed Akai as an FBI spy. It remains to be seen if he is the same person as Asaka]].
* SignificantAnagram: His name can be seen as a rearrangement of the quote "Toki wa kane nari" ("Time is money"), a message that Rum has sent to Bourbon at the end of chapter 1008. [[spoiler:As of chapter 1066, it turns out that this is no coincidence]].

* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Wakita gets pretty creepy when on the topic of being deceived or hoodwinked. In chapter 1027, he compares traitors to [[SnakeOilSalesman cheating fish-sellers]]. This turns from disturbing to outright terrifying once [[spoiler:Wakita turns out to be Rum, since this means he knows Amuro fed him false informatiom about Shinichi's death and isn't happy about it. Worse, it is hinted that he knows Amuro is a PSB mole]].

[[folder:Rum (**SPOILER WARNING!**)]]

[[folder:Rum]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first appearance as Rum proper, he playfully reminisces [[spoiler:to Gin about how he exposed Shuichi Akai as an FBI agent by posing as a civilian old man, hinting that he knows of Bourbon's treachery and is hatching a plan to eliminate him before donning a false mustache and buck-teeth to pose as Wakita. Is is thus shown that Rum is adept at working in the field, shrewd enough to judge and reveal the identities of not one but ''two'' spies in the Black Organization and disguise himself to look completely docile and innocent. In conclusion, the BO's NumberTwo is more intelligent than Gin, a MasterOfDisguise like Vermouth and is posing as a man close to Conan and company with barely any suspicions; i.e. a very dangerous foe]].

** [[spoiler:Superintendent Hyoue Kuroda of the Nagano Police First Division fit the bill on account of his right eye having injuries. Moreover, Kuroda's unexpected transfer to Tokyo and apparent knowledge that Amuro is Bourbon deepens suspicions]].

** Later hints point to the [[spoiler:the possibility of Rum being a woman. Conan's new assistant homeroom teacher, Rumi Wakasa is [[SenseiChan an apparently clumsy and gentle woman]] who can't see from one eye and has a darker side [[ObfuscatingStupidity that she hides unless it's needed]]. She apparently has access to the list of APTX victims and is somehow connected to the murders of Kohji Haneda and Amanda Hughss]].

* RedRightEye: Rum's is a glass eye [[spoiler:he conceals behind medical gauze as Wakita]].

* TheFaceless: As with any mystery suspect in ''Conan'', Rum is nothing more a black silhouette for most of the Rum Arc. His last scene as a silhoutte is in the back of a car speaking to Gin on the phone until the scene cuts back from Shinichi's house to show [[spoiler:Wakita putting on his disguise]].

The second-in-command of the Black Organization, rumoured to have many faces and names. [[spoiler:In chapter 1066, it is revealed that Kanenori Wakita, an eyepatch-wearing sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi is the real Rum, wearing a false mustache, wig and buck-teeth to get closer to Kogoro]].

-> '''Wakita:''' (''to Amuro'') I'd be able to tell who the traitor is, who's trying to pull one over on me... like if a trader tries to fob me off with some old fish at a high price...

* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Wakita gets pretty creepy when on the topic of being deceived or hoodwinked. In chapter 1027, he compares traitors to [[SnakeOilSalesman cheating fish-sellers]]:
