ADD TRIVIA
- Since Conan kicked it out the train it wasn't in the train to ignite the fuel and other flammable things on a train, duh...therefore the bomb obviosly large because it rattled the train and must have been pretty loud because Rachel and other passengers knew about the explosion!
  Edit Share Hide
- If the bomb was powerful enough to destroy an entire train, the explosion should have at least blew the train off the tracks when Conan kicked it out the window

- Rachel: I can't believe you; it's your best friend's wedding day and you're shaving on the train, getting hairs on your wrinkly shirt. Richard: It's not my fault I overslept, alright?! I had a late-night meeting with some very important clients! Rachel: Would your clients' names happen to be Gin and Tonic?

Notes
ADD NOTES
- Other Anime/Manga Differences: - George, Amy and Mitch appear in the anime version. It's Amy rather than Rachel who puts the gum in the ashtray. - In the manga, Melkior and Kaspar get away, while Conan reflects on learning their codenames. The anime ends with the lookalikes of Melkior and Kaspar getting arrested, and with Rachel questioning Conan on his true identity, with George, Amy and Mitch calling him a smart prank (In the manga, Rachel doesn't question him about it until the next chapter "Fish Marks The Spot").

- CORRECTION: In the American release of the manga, the names of the two agents are revealed to be Melkior and Kaspar, NOT Gin and Vodka.
