Jiang Gonghei, the world consciousness of the Detective Conan universe, had been living a carefree life until one day he received a notice of required revisions: “Notice Regarding Revisions to Violent and Graphic Content in Children’s Programming.”
Jiang Gonghei: I’m a mystery anime! How could I possibly avoid this kind of content? If you make me change everything, how am I supposed to follow the plot? Why doesn’t the Kindaichi series next door have to change anything?
Supervisor: Because yours is aimed at children.
Jiang Gonghei: My audience isn’t just kids!
Supervisor: Then why did you choose to make it a children’s series when you first launched?
Jiang Gonghei: …
Supervisor: If you don’t make the changes, you’ll be locked away in solitary confinement.
Jiang Gonghei: …Fine, I’ll change it! Isn’t that enough?
So decapitations became haircuts, guns became toy guns, poison became chocolate, and shootouts became water fights…
Hey! The Black Organization has lost all its menace!
Jiang Gonghei wiped away his tears. What could he do? It wasn’t what he wanted, either!
Even after all the changes Jiang Gonghei made, Detective Conan remained in the top ten of the anime world rankings, and its audience was still much more than just little kids.
Adult viewers said: “It’s been ages since I’ve seen an anime this unhinged. I laughed so hard I nearly died.”
[Please note: Nobody dies in this story, whether they deserve to or not. However, the world consciousness will increase the severity of the laws.]
