We each bring our top five picks, pulling from our favorite shows, anime, and games, sharing why these characters would crack the case wide open. From psychic sleuths to angelic detectives, and even a Victorian child with a demon sidekick, we’ve got a wild lineup! We also sprinkle in some personal anecdotes, a hilarious riddle segment that had us stumped, and an honorable mention for a character from a recent vampire flick we’re obsessed with. Join us for laughs, nerdy references, and a whole lot of mystery-solving passion. Stick around until the end to hear who we crown as the ultimate detective.00:00 Kicking Off the Mystery00:33 Quick Tune Break00:35 Wednesday’s Psychic Sleuthing01:37 Castiel’s Angelic Insight02:33 Monk’s OCD Deductions04:21 Neuvillette’s Draconic Justice05:46 Riley’s Social Media Plug06:15 Tamayo’s Sneaky Science08:10 Ciel & Sebastian’s Victorian Grit10:00 Vampire Annie & Riddle Fails11:47 Riddle Struggles Continue15:07 Hermione’s Wizard Smarts16:38 Shuichi’s Ultimate Detective Skills18:17 Ed Elric’s Alchemical Genius20:01 Maomao’s Brilliant Deductions22:02 Crowning the Top Sleuth22:35 Maddie’s Nail Art Ad & Goodbye
