Masuko Tsuchiya Title

Masuko Tsuchiya is the main antagonist of the Detective Conan/Case Closed two-part episode "The Famous Potter Murder Case" ("Potter's Gambit" in the dubbed). She's the daughter-in-law of the current Kikuemon (real name Mankichi Tsuchiya) but has a dark secret that made her into a hidden villain.

She is voiced by Masako Isobe, who is best known to be the Japanese voice of Mama Gunda from Tarzan 2 and Constance Nebbercracker from Monster House.

Biography[]

She made her first appearance when Kogoro Mouri was invited to the home of fame potter Mankichi Tsuchiya (or Kikuemon to the public) when she offered Ran tea and was given a box of sponge cake from Ran. Kogoro thought that Mankichi wanted to see him if he takes a case where he thought that Masuko was his young wife and that he wanted him to follow her to see if her faithfulness towards him is true, but Mankichi revealed that Masuko is actually his daughter-in-law and the widow of his son, as it turns out that his son and wife died in an accident two years ago.

When Mankichi wanted to talk to Kogoro about the cases he solved and how his deductions seem to have flaws in them, only for Masuko to revealed that Mankichi is a fan of Kogoro and actually wanted him to pick out one of his creations, which he chose the cup he drank out of, and it revealed that Mankichi and the others made a bet of which one will Kogoro chose, and he won. He then told Masuko to go to the store room and get his recently created creation. It was then revealed that Masuko had a talent of finding which pottery is worthy for one of the three apprentices to be the next Kikuemon.

Upon arriving, Masuko accidentally knocked over the pot, which she apologizes for ruining it but Mankichi didn't care as he told her to make a meal for tonight for the Mouri's and Conan. During a fun time, Masuko became so drunk that she passed out and was instead carried back to her room. The next day Masuko was then founded in the storeroom and died by hanging herself. Throughout the two-parter, it was believed that she committed suicide and the motive for it was because she felt guilty of breaking her father-in-law's creation, but Conan (Via Kogoro) revealed that she was actually murdered and made it look like she killed herself and that the killer was none other than Ryuichi Seto (one of the apprentices). Who at first denied the claim, until a piece of evidence that link him to the crime, which caused him to reveal his motive of killing Masuko (revealing herself as the villain of the episode)

It turns out that Masuko had secretly been selling copies of her father-in-laws pottery for huge profit and keeping them for herself. To make matter worse, the copies are revealed to be Ryuichi's creation (since it was stated that his creations are almost similar to Mankichi) which explains why he had that "Potter's Slump" as it turns out that he pretended to have it in order to stop Masuko from selling the copies. When he tried to tell her to stop but she refuses, even mention that it was because of her that his work is being sold for a large amount of money.

Enraged he decide to put his plan into action, first by switching the real pot with one that he made that fooled even Masuko's sharp eye. Then when she was drunk, he carried her to the storeroom and place her on the top shelf with a rope around her neck and because of her habit of waking up by the alarm on her cellphone (which was put in a fake pot) she ended up hanging herself instead. With Masuko now dead, Mankichi Tsuchiya now has no wife, son or daughter in law.

Trivia[]

  • Strangely though, in the FUNimation Dub, they change the scene and diallage to revealed that Ryuichi (Sammy in the dub) and Masuko (Margery in the dub) were working together to sell fake pottery and making large amount of money, until Masuko wanted to end it before they get caught and telling her father-in-law the truth.
