Ranpo Edogawa

"Motto: As long as I'm fine, everything's fine."

Ranpo Edogawa (江戸川 乱歩,) is a member of the Armed Detective Company. He is known as one of the best detectives there despite not being an ability user.

Appearance
Ranpo's height is below average with gives others the impression that he is younger than he is especially because of his personality.

Ranpo has a fair complexion, and dons a medium-brown hat in his short, messy black hair. His eyes appear to not be open most of the time, however, his eye colour is that of a bold green. Over his shoulders drapes a brown poncho that matches his hat and pants. Under that he wears a dark grey blazer and a white button up with a light and dark blue striped tie. On the occasion, when he chooses to activate his "ability", he will slip black glasses onto his face. He believes this is what activates it and causes it to occur.

Under his three-quarter length pants, he wears long white socks that seem to cover what would be the visible part of his legs, and simple, black shoes.

Personality
Due to him being the genius one, Ranpo is very proud and often brags about himself being the Greatest Detective. He is also shown to be rather childish and can be seen teasing others in episode 5. However, he can become cold and calm when the situation calls for it. He is also incredibly intelligent, and commended for it by the rest of the Armed Detective Company, even more so because he lacks an ability.

Ranpo has been shown to be unable to complete simple tasks such as riding a train or finding his way home in episode 5, Atsushi first thinks that he really can't do anything without his ability. It is unsure whether Ranpo truly cannot do these tasks or that he choose to act as if he can' t.

Ability
The Super Deduction (超推理,), allows him to deduce the "truth" about a crime scene giving him complete information such as where to find evidence and who the culprit is.

Eventually it is revealed that he is able to deduct everything simply due to his own intelligence but he either believes or enjoys pretending that he has an ability.

Plot
Ranpo made a brief appearance in Episode 1 after Dazai caught Atsushi.

He also has an episode with him solving a case and showing more about his character in episode 5.
