Master Detective Archives Spoilers !!

Listen, if Melami and Iruka were the culprits in their cases, it would have been so much more interesting. The whole thing with Zilch being an imposter and Icardi killing Shachi with that silly ass motive was just so boring.

Like, I feel like Melami being so warm and comforting to Yuma only to drug and betray him would have made the case a bit more interesting, something along the motives of “ he’s just a child, and he’s obviously not supposed to be here, so why not try to get rid of him “ was my hypothesis, because it felt more interesting than “ One of us is an Imposter, and obviously the imposter is a bad guy “ - I think it would have shown more grey area in the game, given more the question we’re wondering by Chapter Five. Who’s really the bad guy ? Are we the bad guys ? I feel like that leaves more room for Yuma to have character development.

And the idea that we already know Iruka is trigger happy really left a lot of room for betrayal in Chapter Three, and it could have had a more compelling motive, such as a heated argument among friends turned deadly. I’m not saying Iruka would want to kill Shachi, quite the opposite, her flaw getting the better of her, only for her to be apologetic in the mystery labyrinth, make Yuma question - is he really doing the right thing ? Is his pact with Shinigami actually beneficial to anyone ? Any time he does question it, it comes out of nowhere and disappears as quickly as it came.

Ah, gear grinding thoughts. 🤠✨🥂
