Fun episode indeed. Conan's expression when he had his nicotin overdosis was hilarious xD
I probably regret this post by now.

Rival turned friend, and local person dispensing information about the main quest. So predictable, but it was fun watching.

New kid's big on the nicotine. Also pretty fat for living on an uncivilized island, while trading away food and regularly exercising. I don't like him much, since he's such an obvious foil and sidekick for Conan. Get the feeling he won't contribute much if anything to the plot

Haha, this episode was filled with great moments.

The whole face-off between Conan & Jimsy reminded me of the face-off between Goku & Krillin in Dragon Ball.
I have to imagine that Toriyama took some amount of inspiration from this series.

The character of Goku seems very similar to Conan in the early parts of Dragon Ball, Also, Goku's grandfather died and Goku was left to fend for himself (although in Dragon Ball it's before the series starts), even the bipedal robots look somewhat similar in both series.

It is impressive you how much content they can put in a 20 minute episode in this show. It really feels like every episode is movie length. When I think about how slow paced or almost nothing happens in some today's anime, this anime is great..

A new companion, that's fine. The sequences of action were impressive and it's nice to see the characters building some meaningful interaction. Other than that the episode only served to the purpose of revealing the new quest. 4/5

Jimsy seems to be almost as strong and capable as Conan.

Looks like they'll be traveling together.

It also reminded me a lot at Gokus and Yajirobes encounter.

that scene when he said "YATTA!" when jimsy mentioned Industria and he starts parading around was directly from heidi. even the exact gestures and movements getting down were the same. fun little easter egg

Jimsy did seem like a prototype of Yajirobe.

Also, that flying bound Conan and Jimsy did together would be used at the beginning of 'The Castle of Cagliostro', when Lupin and Jigen escape the casino.
