One of my favorite things to do in Detective Conan AMVs is mix together different versions of the same scene. The "Moonlight Sonata" case, of which there are three different animated adaptations for key moments (the original Episode 11, the remade Episodes 1,000-1,001, and TV Special 6), was a perfect candidate for this kind of editing.

It's just one of the most heartbreaking parts of the series to me—that Shinichi wants to save everyone, but here, he fails. And more than that, he blames himself for it; he feels that it's his deduction that led Narumi to start that fire.

And while I didn't use the FUNimation English dub here (I would have liked to, but they changed the line to "I can't imagine ever killing myself"), one thing that gets to me about the FUNi script is this additional line where Conan admits to Heiji that he was too small to stop Narumi. Because I think that's another element of his guilt—he wasn't big enough or strong enough to save her.

And while he's not talking about Akemi here, I think he feels the same about her—that if he never followed Gin and Vodka that night at Tropical Land, he could have saved both her and Narumi.

(It didn't work, but I tried to add Akemi to the video... something gets me so much about how both she and Narumi call Conan "Little Detective.")
