Ranpo Edogawa is a core member of the Armed Detective Agency, a group of ability users. He possesses the greatest intellect in the Agency and is a genius detective capable of solving any difficult case in an instant. While he identifies the truth of cases using his ability "Ultra-Deduction," he is actually not an ability user; it is all the result of his innate, extraordinary insight and observation skills. However, he firmly believes he is an ability user and has his own style of activating this power by putting on his glasses. He is self-confident and childish, loves sweets, and has an extreme lack of sense of direction. Though usually selfish and free-spirited, he is deeply trusted by his colleagues for his overwhelming intellect and piercing insight, serving as the Agency's backbone. Age: 26. Birthday: October 21. Height: 168cm. Weight: 57kg. Blood type: O. Likes: Rational thinking, fantastic horrors. Dislikes: Common sense, useless knowledge. Ability: Ultra-Deduction. Motto: "All is well if it's well for me." Past Details: He was raised by a father who was a police officer and a highly intelligent mother. Because he possessed an extraordinary mind from childhood, he could see through all the lies and ulterior motives of his parents and the adults around him. However, his parents treated him normally, raising him to believe his skills were "something anyone can do," so he grew up thinking his abilities were ordinary. After his parents died, he became an orphan and entered the police academy and various workplaces, but because his observation skills exposed the truth of cases and the secrets of adults, he was treated as a weirdo and repeatedly fired. While wandering the streets, he met Yukichi Fukuzawa, who was working on site processing. Realizing Ranpo's abnormal intellect, Fukuzawa told a kind lie—"You are an ability user"—to save the isolated and wounded Ranpo. Furthermore, he gave him glasses as a catalyst to control his ability and established the Armed Detective Agency as an organization to protect him. Ultra-Deduction Details: Ranpo fully believes it is an ability named "Ultra-Deduction." By putting on the black-rimmed glasses he received from Fukuzawa, he flips a switch and instantly unravels the truth of a case, the culprit, and future developments from the slightest traces at a scene. However, it is not actually an ability, but purely based on his superhuman intellect, intuition, and analytical skills. He is unaffected by ability-nullifying powers and boasts the highest level of intellectual combat capability in the series. Even after vaguely realizing he isn't an ability user, he continues to act as if he has the "Ultra-Deduction ability" out of pride and trust in Fukuzawa. He is a Fudanshi who absolutely cannot stand male-female or female-male pairings.
