` ꔛ Ranpo Edogawa ♡

Appearance

His outfit consists of a brown inversion cape that he wears over his shoulders and whose color matches his hat and pants. Under that, he wears a dark gray blazer and white button down with a light and dark blue striped tie. Under his three-quarter length pants, he wears long white socks that cover the visible part of his legs, and simple black shoes. When he chooses to activate his "ability", he puts on his black glasses given to him by Yukichi Fukuzawa.

Personality

Ranpo prides himself on his "skill" which can deduce any mystery in a matter of seconds, with which he has solved countless cases. He is often boasted of his status as the greatest detective. He is also shown to be quite childish, frequently mocking the other detectives in the agency and sometimes refusing to do jobs or cases for trivial reasons such as laziness or spite. However, he can become serious and calm when the situation calls for it. He is also incredibly intelligent and is praised for it by the rest of the Armed Detective Agency, even more so because he lacks skill. It is possible that his childish behavior is a coping mechanism for how he was traumatized by his childhood. Although his colleagues seem to think that he is completely oblivious to the fact that he is not an ability user, he is aware that his Super Deduction is not actually an ability. However, since the agency has so much faith in him, he refuses to openly admit it to anyone in the agency, as he seems to dance around the issue with Akiko Yosano, but openly admits his lack of ability to Mushitaro Oguri and did so in Dead Apple as well. Ranpo has been shown to be unable to complete simple tasks such as riding a train or finding his way home when not using his Super Deduction.

Ability

His ability, Super Deduction, (超推理, Chō Suiri in Japanese) allows him to solve any case in a matter of seconds, knowing who the culprit is and why he did it. This ability is activated when he puts on his glasses. However, it is not a true ability, and only depends on his intellect, even if he believes it is.

Past

Twelve years ago, Ranpo met with the president of the agency, who by then was a bodyguard. They get together thanks to a crime scene, since Ranpo was looking for a job in an office where Fukuzawa's client had just been killed and later they go to a dinner, which Fukuzawa offers him in exchange for his help with the case, to the realize your intelligence. After this, they begin to forge a bond, as Fukuzawa is impressed by his story and his unique intelligence, and finally, they agree that Ranpo will stay with him until he gets a job. Fukuzawa and Ranpo initially argue, however as the days go by they begin to sympathize and talk. This is clearly seen when they both go to the theater in search of work (Fukuzawa excused that he was looking for a job for himself in the theater, in addition to going as a bodyguard at the call of the owner of the place, Lady Egawa. Really, he wanted to see if in a crime scene Ranpo used his intelligence again) when after a fight, due to Ranpo's sensitivity, they go behind the scenes; Right there, he gives him the glasses that he believed would help him overcome his low self-esteem, because then he would feel that the world would not have to understand him, if he was superior to the supernatural being. Also ensuring that he would be a great detective. Thanks to this action, Ranpo goes in search of the murderer who threatened the theater (And for whom Fukuzawa was called) being kidnapped and Fukuzawa has to go rescue him. From then on, Fukuzawa decided to never leave Ranpo alone and protect him from everything, as well as get a place where he could develop his ability.
