it's so nostalgic to see the very beginning of the sleeping kogoro routine. the case itself is honestly a bit simple, but its just really fun to look back and see how much the author's mystery writing has grown since these early days.

an incredibly important structural episode that establishes the core 'sleeping deduction' mechanic. while the actual mystery lacks the complex advancement of later arcs, it serves as a fascinating baseline for the author's developing logic.

we finally get the origin of the iconic sleeping kogoro fellas, watching these early episodes is so funny because the cases are actually incredibly simple compared to the insane 500-IQ mysteries they do later on
