Members of the Organization

Rum, Vermouth, Bourbon, Gin, Vodka....

There are many members of the organization. Some new, some old. Let's talk about the different members here. Such as Rum? How is this person?

NNNOOOOO no rum not yet i'm not caught up yet lol

We don't have to talk about them yet. I just figured we could use another thread to talk about the organization.

We do not really know much about Rum, except that he is of higher ranking than Gin. Honestly, we know more about Scotch than Rum and both were only recently mentioned in the manga.

True. We do know more about Scotch than Rum. I wonder what other drinks Aoyama is going to introduce to us besides just them.

I vote for pina colada or strawberry daiquiri next!

Seem you like mixtures with rum in it.

I was thinking of wine names like Port, Merlot, or Chardonnay. I think Sherry is the only wine that was in the organization. (I could be wrong)

Actually, there are more named after wine than Sherry. Looking through the dictionary, here are others that are based on wine:

• Vermouth
  
• Kir
  
• Chianti
  

Notice how we know all of them are female?

Hmm yeah so the Liqour is for males and the wines are for females. That makes sense.

I don't really drink wine so I had no idea all of the names. I'm more of soda person.

That's kinda cool to notice. So all females and wines and all spirits are males. i wonder in then end why it was set up like that

It was probably set up like that because if you think about it, the spirits sound masculine. While the wines (so far) sound feminine. Plus when you talk about one or the other, it's easier to remember which one is which. That is until there is a female spirit and male wine.

Yet again didn't Aoyama want a Rum-chan but another series had a popular character named Lum or Rum? Heck I think Haibara in the Sherry's soliloquy has said "It’s finally a confrontation with Rum-chan!"
Maybe Rum could be female or is just their nickname.

I doubt that rum will end up being female. but then again he could throw a curve at us just this once to keep us guessing

It would be awesome if Rum turned out to be female. But sadly we just don't know. Just have to wait for more to come out.

From what I remember, there were supposedly some reports that Gosho did not originally intend to have somebody named Rum, and the character name was probably similar to a work by the same person behind Inuyasha.

As for the pattern, I think Detective Conan World, which is one of my major references in my Detective Conan reviews, though I could be wrong, already listed a pattern in the alcoholic code names.

Hmm interesting. Somehow I missed the fact that all the females seem to be wines and males spirits.
That's kind of cool. But yeah, there probably will be some kind of curve ball like Rum being a woman or something. That could be interesting, though.

I am reading chapter 906 and Haibara reveals a bit more detail about Rum. Apparently, Rum is the second in command at Black Org, which may mean that he has more power and freedom than Vermouth, who also seems to do her own thing.

Hmm interesting. *go reads 906* The descriptions/rumors of rum sound interesting too. My guess would be that he likes to change personalities on the fly or he's good at disguises.

Not too sure about that, Haibara mentions in that same chapter that all the various people that could be Rum share a common trait, so I doubt that Rum is any good at disguises. If anything, Vermouth and Kaito Kuroba are really the only great masters of disguise, though Toichi Kuroba might be good at it too, since he is Kaito's father, the original KID, and even the one who taught Yukiko and Vermouth the art of disguise.

True, Haibara did say that about Rum. Looks like we'll just have to wait until more info comes out.

The case that started in 906 ended recently in chapter 908 and it looks like there is a bit more info on Rum. It seems that Rum lost an eye, because Haibara said Rum has an artificial eye in one eye socket, though which one is not clear.

So Rum is either a pirate or secretly Mad Eye Moody. Kidding aside, Rum sounds a bit more interesting. Sadly the manga will be hiatus for roughly a month in celebration for Magic Kaito 1412 Anime coming out and three new Magic Kaito chapters will be released too. Maybe we will hear more about Rum after the "Kid Break" in November.

introducing a Harry Potter Cross over would be a huge boost to this movement lol. and there is my new challenge catch up before the month is up

Might also present some legal challenges, especially since Conan Doyle went after Leblanc, when the latter tried to write a Sherlock vs Lupin story.

Then again, I think I remember reading in the manga version of the karaoke case before Jimmy gets abducted that the Rudolph song had to be used with permission too.

As for your challenge, better hurry up, because there are only two days left in the month.
