20 Cool Gadgets Owned by Conan Edogawa

Being a detective isn't just about smarts—it also involves using some pretty awesome gadgets, especially if you're Conan Edogawa. Considering Conan's small stature, which makes him more vulnerable, these gadgets are crucial for solving cases and handling dangerous situations.

Professor Agasa is the brain behind these incredible devices. He crafted a range of gadgets for Conan that not only help him in his detective work but have also become his signature. It just wouldn't be Conan without his gadgets, especially the iconic voice-changing bow tie.

Let’s give a big shoutout to Professor Agasa, the genius who created all these gadgets. Despite some people dismissing his inventions as trivial, they prove incredibly useful time and again.

Professor Agasa initially designed these tools to help Conan maintain his disguise as a child. They were meant to help him blend in and protect himself while cracking major cases.

At first, Conan had only a handful of simple gadgets, but over time, they've evolved into more advanced tech, making the impossible possible. And it's not just Conan; the Little Detectives use some of these gadgets too. So, what are these gadgets?

1. Voice Changing Bow Tie

This is Conan's most iconic gadget. He wears it around his neck or carries it with him everywhere. This gadget allows Conan to alter his voice to sound like anyone he chooses, whether it's a man, woman, or child.

Conan often uses it after deploying the tranquilizer dart from his high-tech wristwatch, usually targeting Kogoro Mouri. This lets him pose as someone else to explain his deductions, rather than as a seven-year-old kid.

2. Super Watch

Another indispensable gadget for Conan is the super watch, a creation of Professor Agasa. This watch is more than just a timepiece; it's equipped with multiple high-tech features. It can shoot tranquilizer darts, serve as a flashlight, and even function as a satellite phone.

Conan primarily uses this watch to shoot darts and as a flashlight. After firing a dart and incapacitating his target, he quickly takes cover behind them and uses his bow tie to change his voice.

3. Modified Glasses

Another indispensable gadget for Conan is his modified glasses. Originally, he used these glasses to disguise himself as Shinichi, appearing younger. Seizing the opportunity, Professor Agasa upgraded the glasses into a highly advanced tool that has proven extremely helpful.

These glasses not only allow Conan to monitor his targets, especially those tagged with a tracking device, but they are also bulletproof—a feature showcased in the third Detective Conan movie, "The Last Wizard of the Century." Additionally, the glasses are equipped with a microphone.

4. Power-Boosting Shoes

These power-enhancing shoes are a lifesaver for Conan, especially when chasing down criminals or defending himself. Professor Agasa designed them to boost the kicking power of Shinichi, who’s now in a smaller body. The cool part is that the power can be adjusted.

Thanks to a combination of electricity and magnetic fields, these shoes make Conan’s kicks super strong. Even when he kicks something light, it can fly with enough force to knock someone out!

5. Lunchbox-Shaped Fax

In "Detective Conan Volume 7 - File 9," Professor Agasa gives Conan a unique gift — a bento. But this isn't just any lunchbox; it's a disguised portable fax machine. Conan uses this clever gadget to send messages secretly.

Originally designed by Professor Agasa to help Conan with his detective work, this bento-shaped fax machine was quite the invention. However, it seems to have faded out of the series, likely replaced by the smartphones we all use today for texts and emails.

6. Detective Badge

The Detective Badge is more than just a symbol for the Little Detective group; it's a crucial tool. Not only Conan, but also Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Ai wear these badges. They're not just for show — these badges act as transmitters and help the group communicate covertly.

The Detective badges are essential for the Little Detectives, helping them solve mysteries and stay in touch over a wide area without anyone else knowing.

7. Turbo Skateboard

Professor Agasa's seventh creation for Conan, the Turbo Skateboard, is one of the boy detective's favorite gadgets. It debuted in a thrilling chase in Volume 9, where Conan believed Ayumi had been kidnapped.

This high-speed skateboard runs on solar power, so Conan needs to charge it during the day to use it at night. It's a frequent sight in the movies, often zooming past cars when it's at full speed.

8. Transmitter Tool

Professor Agasa created another handy device for Conan—a small, discreet transmitter. This tiny gadget, about the size of a button, can be clipped to the end of glasses. It works with Conan's modified glasses and includes a microphone to pick up sounds.

Conan often uses it to track people or listen in on conversations by attaching it to someone's collar, arm, luggage, or vehicle.

9. Elastic Suspenders

Among the gadgets to help Conan compensate for his small size are the elastic suspenders. These suspenders function through a pulley system that allows Conan to lift heavy items by just pressing a button, letting the suspenders extend and retract.

First seen in "Detective Conan Volume 2 - File 3," these suspenders were initially not very stretchy. However, by the time of the 13th movie, "The Raven Chaser," they had been upgraded to stretch up to 100 meters!

10. Loudspeaker Buttons

Professor Agasa designed loudspeaker buttons to help Conan when he's orchestrating things behind the scenes. Usually, when Conan puts Kogoro to sleep to solve a case, he uses these to overcome the distance and speak through Kogoro.

While not as complex as some of Conan's other gadgets, these speakers are a vital part of his toolkit, often used alongside his voice-changing bow tie. They first appeared in "Detective Conan Vol. 11 - File 10."

11. Earring Phone

The earring phone, shaped like an ordinary earring, functions as a regular cellphone but also works as a wireless speaker linked to a voice-changing bow tie. This gadget, however, seems to have been phased out in recent comics and movies.

It first made its debut not by Conan but by Ran, during a particularly shocking case involving her favorite teacher in "Vol. 14 - File 10." Overwhelmed by the revelation facilitated by the earring phone, Ran struggled to accept her teacher's grievous actions.

12. Voice-Changing Choker

Professor Agasa crafted yet another clever gadget, this time a voice-changing choker. This device, designed to be worn around the neck, is typically hidden under a turtleneck, high collar, or scarf to keep it discreet since it doesn’t look like a regular choker.

It was briefly available on the market (File 896) but was pulled after Shuichi Akai, disguised as Subaru Okiya, used it to alter his voice undetected.

13. Voice-Changing Mask

It looks like voice-altering devices are Professor Agasa’s specialty! After developing the bow tie and choker, he introduced a voice-changing mask.

This mask works similarly to the bow tie, but it's integrated into a mask so there's no need to hide it. Ai used this mask to impersonate Conan in "Detective Conan Vol. 25 - File 2."

14. Ball Throwing Belt

Another handy tool from Professor Agasa is the Ball Throwing Belt, often used by Conan to catch criminals or handle tricky situations. This looks like any ordinary belt, but its buckle is specially designed.

With a press of a button on the buckle, the belt launches a ball that can inflate to thousands of times its initial size. It’s a gadget that Conan always wears and uses regularly.

15. Loudspeaker Cuff

Looks like Professor Agasa really likes making gadgets with speakers! After bow ties, chokers, and masks, he's now designed a new gadget that functions as a speaker but in the form of cufflinks. This device debuted in the 9th Detective Conan movie, "Strategy Above The Depths."

The loudspeaker cuff links to Conan's glasses, allowing him to hear and also respond to conversations through his voice-changing bow tie. He can hear everything the wearer of the cuff says and can even talk back using the tie.

16. Mini Air Tank

This next gadget by Professor Agasa could be a real lifesaver. Called the mini air tank, it was featured in the 11th Detective Conan movie, "Jolly Roger in The Deep Azure." It’s perfect for emergencies, like if you're ever stuck underwater.

The tank only holds enough air for 10 minutes, which in the movie, Conan provides to Ran and Sonoko when they're trapped in a sinking cave, helping them breathe long enough to escape.

17. Drone

After creating several high-tech gadgets for Conan, Professor Agasa developed a new toy that Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko can also enjoy—a drone! This drone comes packed with various features, though there was a mishap during the initial tests when it lost control due to low-frequency waves.

Once strengthened, Conan and the Little Detective members used the drone to gather evidence and snap photos during the bombing case at the Edge of Ocean complex (from the 22nd Detective Conan Movie). Besides helping with evidence collection, the drone even played a role in stopping a space shuttle from crashing in Tokyo.

18. Paraglider

It’s not just Kaito Kid who owns a paraglider—Conan has one too! Thanks to Professor Agasa, Conan was able to show off this gadget in the 8th movie, Magician of The Silver Sky. He used it to chase after Kaito Kid, who was suspected of causing trouble.

The paraglider works just like a regular one, with no major differences from Kaito Kid’s version, except that Conan’s is smaller. Professor Agasa also designed it with a special bag that Conan wears before jumping from any height.

19. Electric Notebook Map

The Electric Notebook Map, created by Professor Agasa, made its first and only appearance in Detective Conan Episode 86, season 4. After that, it never showed up again in later episodes, comics, or movies. In the story, Mitsuhiko, with his new radio transceiver, accidentally picks up someone else’s conversation.

That conversation turns out to be about a kidnapping, which leads Conan to track the suspect using an electronic map disguised as a math notebook. This gadget allows Conan to zoom in and out of areas and even shows the Beika city railroad system.

20. Voice-Changing Pen

Professor Agasa also designed a device that can change voices, this time in the shape of a pen. It was introduced in Detective Conan Volume 12 (Files 1-3) during a case where Professor Agasa takes the Little Detectives on a treasure hunt at his uncle’s place.

Conan solves the case and uses the pen to outsmart the culprit by making it seem like the body found at Professor Agasa’s uncle’s house can talk. With this clever trick, Conan manages to corner the criminal.

These are the 20 cool gadgets Professor Agasa made that helped Conan and the Little Detectives crack countless cases. Which one would you want to try? The turbo skateboard and Detective Badge seem like they'd be handy for daily use!
