Dectective Conan - Okiya Subaru

Okiya Subaru

Occupation: Faculty of Engineering's Graduate Student at Totou University

Location: Boarding at Shinichi's house

First Appearance: Chapter 622 - Red, White and Yellow




Ok, so far we all know that this guy not a normal student. He has an incredibly good deduction skill that can even match with Shinichi's, a keen mind that allows him to act agilely with unexpected situations and a quick, strong hand. Also, Haibara can sense the "B.O Smell" from him, which probably means this Okiya is none other than the newly mentioned agent "Bourbon". Things seem to get more straight when Goushou shows us a scene of Okiya drink Bourbon at the end of chapter 640. Of course drinking Bourbon doesn't mean you are Bourbon, and Haibara's "B.O Smell" doesn't appear all the time, so the answer of the question whether this Okiya is the new B.O agent or not is still in a fog.

There are other theories which believe Okiya to be Akai Shuuichi in disguise. Yeah, there is some reasons for that after all. Like, this guy appears not long after Akai's "death", he is left-handed (like Shuu), he is clever (like Shuu) and he has an aura that can even cause our sceptic Shinichi to lend the house for him (or is it because Shinichi finally found a true Holmes fan?). This theory also explains the mysterious grin of Conan at the end of chapter 621, when Eisuke warned Conan about "something" happened in the FBI. Yeah, Conan knew Akai is still alive and is currently disguising as a "Holmes fan". "Everything's all right" huh?

However the Okiya = Akai theory has some holes. Firstly the eyes of these two are completely different, one are piggy and one are big, which means Akai might have trouble when seeing through those Okiya's eyes and couldn't possibly notice "things that ordinary eyes couldn't". Secondly the fact that Conan doesn't want Okiya to know much about Shinichi has proven that Conan doesn't trust Okiya at all and that Okiya is, may be, not Akai. Thirdly, Akai's clever somehow seems to be diffirent with Okiya's. This glasses guy talks like a detective while Shuu has the voice of an intelligent agent. Yes, they ARE different.

Okiya drinking Bourbon? Could he be...

Mysterious Subaru only appears in 3 cases until now so there's nothing certain yet. He could be Bourbon, he could also be Akai, he could even be a new CIA or FBI agent. For me, I still prefer the fact that he's a B.O member, which will even the battle between the Organization and the "good guys", but yes, it's still a theory. The only thing we know now is that he is no ordinary person and has big relevance with DC's main plot. Guess time will show us the answer, sooner or later.
