Blogpost 8: Shinichi and Sherlock

Everyone is unique. Everyone has a unique personality. Everyone has a unique style. Everyone has a unique entire well-being. But it is not avoidable that others may also have the same characteristics as yours.

Shinich Kudo has similarities to Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is a detective novel series written by Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle. The story of Sherlock Holmes revolves around the detective named Sherlock Holmes and his assistant and true companion Dr. John H. Watson. Sherlock puzzles out criminal cases in a fantastic and incredible way.

So, what are the characteristics of Sherlock Holmes? I have read an article column entitled "A Study in Sherlock" by Rob W. Hart at the website litreactor. According to this article, Sherlock Holmes helps the police and private individuals to solve complicated criminal cases. He is considered as a master of relating sciences and technologies to investigate situations and concealing hi appearance to hide his real identity and best in conducting deductive reasoning. He is addicted to cocaine and a heavy smoker. He has few friends but Watson is his only true companion. He is so attentive to detail but lack of interest to relationships. He is also said to be a narcissist in some manner.

"Holmes is a consulting detective, called upon by both the police and private entities to solve seemingly-unsolvable cases." - Rob W. Hart

Just like in Detective Conan, Shinich Kudo also aids police solve cases. He solves complicated criminal cases using deductive reasoning and meticulous to details like Sherlock Holmes. But Shinichi cares and think for others security not like Sherlock who only focus to his self.

Furthermore, Sherlock Holmes is said to be Shinichi Kudo's idol. Sherlock is one of the major influences that inspired the Detective Conan series. Also, the title of the Japanese anime series is from the name of the author of Sherlock Holmes.

After reading the article, I have realized that it is true that everyone is very unique. It is impossible to have a duplicate or replica of 100% of yourself. And always remember that no one in the world can do a better job of being you than you.
