namely some good quality images...
you could just leave the article without pictures, but really now...
where's the fun in that?' |
Robert Taylor (jap. ロバート・テイラー, Robāto Teirā) is the main antagonist of "Tottori Spider Mansion Demon". He's a photographer and a close friend of the Takeda family.
He's voiced by Shigeru Nakahara.
Past[]
When a landslide occurs in the mountains, Robert is buried under the rubble and is rescued and nursed back to health by Misa Takeda. During the recovery period, he gets to know Misa better and eventually falls in love with her. During this time, Robert learns the Japanese language and perfects it. On the day of his departure, he asks the Takeda family's twin daughters, Sae and Emi, to deliver a message to Misa. She misinterprets the message and hangs herself in the shed of the house.
Present[]
Heiji and Kazuha first meet Robert in the forest while he is photographing the Japanese countryside. With the help of a letter, he sends not only Heiji and Kazuha to the remote place, but also Kogoro, Ran and Conan. These letters are about a spider queen who wants to pursue her lust for murder. They all arrive at the Takeda house together, after which Robert is branded a murderer by the twins for being responsible for Misa's death. It quickly becomes clear that there is more to all the incidents than expected and Robert suggests going to the mountains with Ran and Kazuha.
The girls get ready and Robert puts his plans into action. A few days earlier he stalked around the house, killed Akio Negishi and hung him in the shed. Now he places a construction at the window of the shed and lures Nobukazu Takeda there with the help of an airgun. He attaches the construction, which consists only of thin fishing lines, to the Takedas' car. Ran and Kazuha get in the car and Nobukazu looks out the window in time. At that moment, Robert drives off, the trap closes, and Nobukazu is hung in the shed. Along with Ran and Kazuha, he visits a viewing platform and watches the full moon. He unobtrusively tosses the fishing line and airgun down the slope to destroy all evidence.
In the guest room, Ran searches in vain for her mascot, which Shinichi gave her as a good luck charm. Kazuha suggests looking outside for the lucky charm and accidentally finds evidence that could corner Robert. While Ran is looking for a flashlight, the latter ambushes Kazuha with a stun gun and attempts to kill her in the same way he did Nobukazu. Conan and Heiji can solve the mysterious murders and convict Robert as a serial killer. The reason for the murders is the deceased Misa. Negishi died due to his bad behavior towards Robert and Misa. He also said that her suicide was the best solution for her. Robert doesn't care what he did. Heiji tells him the truth about the suicide. Misa hanged herself out of grief for misunderstanding Robert's message. Instead of the English "shine" she read "shi ne" and assumed that Robert wanted her dead. Robert bursts into tears and falls to the ground, motionless. The next morning he is picked up by the police. In the squad car, he kept muttering the same words, complaining that he wasn't Japanese and Misa wasn't American.
