Rampo Edogawa

The funny thing is in the details

He calls everyone "fools," even his superiors. But he does it in such a childish way that no one takes offense.
· When he is bored, he may simply leave in the middle of a conversation.
· In one scene, he was seriously trying on a lady's hat because it "looked interesting." Touching

As a child, after his parents' death, he believed he was to blame for everything because his intellect prevented him from understanding people. It was this trauma that Fukuzawa healed.
Despite his whims, he is fiercely loyal to the Agency. If someone threatens his "family," Rampo instantly becomes serious and ruthless. In everyday life, he's a complete zero.

· He doesn’t know how to use the turnstile in the metro, gets lost in the middle of nowhere and is completely helpless without his colleagues.
· Loves sweets: Especially candy and soda. Atsushi sometimes "bribes" him with treats to get him to work.
· Wears the same clothes for years because he doesn't care about fashion and forgets to buy new ones. About genius

· No ability: His "Super Deduction" is pure intellect. Fukuzawa lied to him to save his sanity, and Rampo still sincerely believes this. Even his glasses are a simple accessory, but he wears them as a talisman.
· Invincible in riddles: He has never lost a deduction contest in his life, except for cases where brute force was used to solve the problem.

Rampo has a rather narrow, but very significant circle of acquaintances. His entire life revolves around the Agency, and his most powerful relationship outside of it is with his sworn enemy, Po.

Here are his main acquaintances:

Yukichi Fukuzawa: His savior and most important person. It was Fukuzawa who, 13 years ago, gave 14-year-old Rampo a reason to live, giving him glasses and telling him that his genius was a superpower. It was for Rampo's sake that he founded the Agency.
Stray Dogs Agency: He considers them his family. Although he's moody and lazy, his genius mind has saved everyone in critical moments, including Kunikida and Atsushi.
Osamu Dazai: A brilliant detective who even surprised Dazai. Dazai calls him "a superhuman, the strongest in the Agency." They work together, and their duet is a clash of logic and chaos.
Edgar Allan Poe: His most flamboyant "friend-enemy." Six years ago, Rampo easily defeated him, ruining the writer's life. After his second defeat, Poe became obsessed with revenge, but eventually became a loyal assistant and almost a friend, writing Rampo's novels.
Mori Ogai (leader of the Port Mafia): Only tangentially related. In the alternate reality (in the light novel), a dark scenario was depicted where the genius Rampo ended up with Mori. This underscores how important Fukuzawa's choice was.

Categorical: He doesn't really like to listen to others and always interrupts to immediately give his verdict.
· Familiarity: He can condescendingly pat anyone on the head, be it a colleague or a criminal, without any regard for subordination.
Childlike directness: He says what he thinks without caring about the feelings of others, but he does it with such spontaneity that it is difficult to perceive it as an evil mockery. There is rarely anything evil in his words, so no one is offended.

· Brilliant Parents: Rampo's parents were incredibly smart (his father was a famous detective, his mother was a master of riddles). They tried to shield him from the world so that he wouldn't go astray.
Loss and Loneliness: At age 14, Rampo's parents passed away, leaving him alone in a world he didn't understand. He didn't realize he saw the world differently than others, and he felt deeply lonely and rejected.
· Path to the Agency: After wandering, he met Yukichi Fukuzawa. To help the broken man, Fukuzawa lied, saying that Rampo's talent was a superpower. This lie saved Rampo and led him to the later-founded Armed Detective Agency.

Appearance: The image of a great detective
· Age and height: 26 years old, height 168 cm (not tall, which adds to his youthful appearance).
· Features: Short black, tousled hair and green (in the anime) eyes of an unusually narrow shape, often squinting.
Style: He wears a brown poncho and hat reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. Underneath the poncho, he wears a formal gray jacket, a white shirt, and a striped tie. His main accessory is a pair of black glasses, which he wears to "activate his ability."

Brilliant, kind, but slightly arrogant: He unconditionally believes in his own exceptionalism, calling himself the greatest detective and easily calling others "fools" or "morons," regardless of their status. His motto is, "If it suits my wishes, then all is well."
Childish and helpless: Despite his age (26), Rampo behaves like a capricious child. He is completely unadapted to everyday life: he doesn't know how to use a train, can get lost in the middle of nowhere, and loses interest in activities he doesn't like.
· Loyal Comrade: Behind all his childish demeanor lies a "heart of gold." He is endlessly loyal to Director Fukuzawa and is willing to go to great lengths for his Agency colleagues when the going gets tough. When the time is right, he becomes calm and calculating.
· Nature of Talent: His phenomenal deduction is not a superpower, but the result of an innate genius mind. He himself believed it was "Super Deduction" (a false ability), and even wears special glasses given to him by Fukuzawa to "activate" it.
He is kind at heart, values ​​his dear people, and is devoted.
