Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions Episode Rating Graph

The Metropolitan Police Department is struggling to investigate a series of murders, yet Detective Isshiki is ordered to go home. Kiku of the General Affairs Division sends him to meet a certain sleuth—a shaggy-haired eccentric named Kamonohashi Ron.

Ron is excited to solve cases by using Toto, but he's not on any good ones because his boss thinks he's useless. All he gets are odd jobs and busywork. Ron, however, is quite interested in a new report about coins going missing from a piggy bank...

Ron wins a pair of tickets to a hot spring in a raffle. Toto accompanies him to stay at the Benizome Inn. The innkeeper who greets them is friendly, but he isn't who he seems. Plus, it isn't long before Ron's eccentricities begin to surface.

There has been a murder. Ron listens to the other guests' testimonies and begins his deductions. Spitz secretly rejoices at this chance to catch Ron in the act of sleuthing, but outwardly both he and Amamiya entrust the investigation to Toto.

Kawasemi Omito, a supremely skilled detective, leads a joint investigation into a serial killing case. Amamiya lends him Toto, whom Kawasemi deems so useless he's invisible. Ron appears at the newest crime scene as a consultant, irritating Kawasemi.

Ron loves a certain TV show that puts psychic abilities to the test. During a live broadcast, a psychic claims he can control minds with written words. His neurosurgeon opponent refutes his claims. Then, the psychic writes the word "Death" on a card.

Toto and Ron are invited to a meteor shower viewing being held on Nandan Island. Also invited is John Grizzly, an instructor at BLUE. There was a murder at the observatory years ago, so the director has brought in first-rate detectives...just in case.

Ron is named main suspect in a murder and Toto investigates to clear his name. Everyone but Ron has an alibi for the time of the murder, which only seems to cement his guilt, but Toto discovers a few things that cast a new light on the incident.

Toto gathers everyone together and explains the truth behind the murders. With their name exposed, the culprit takes drastic measures not to be caught, but not before revealing that there's more to this incident than anyone imagined.

Toto is shadowed by a reporter who's a huge fan of his for the way he's solved one difficult case after another. They step into a cafe where Ron happens to be working, making things a little awkward. Then, a customer collapses to the ground—poisoned!

Toto meets Kawasemi while on a business trip to Aichi. Kawasemi's been in a slump since losing Yamane, and his powers of perception have suffered. He's investigating the Mad Chameleon, who commits a crime right in front of them!

Ron agrees to take on Spitz's search request in exchange for his obtaining a file on the Bloody Training Incident. Spitz accepts Ron's terms and takes Ron and Toto to Yadamura, a village in Yamanashi prefecture where his ethnologist brother disappeared.

Toto reveals the truth of the case and the culprit admits to their crimes. Ron's disorder triggers, putting the culprit in danger, but help comes from an unexpected source. Who is their last minute savior, and how are they connected to everything?

There's been a murder in Shibuya. A man has been found killed in a ghastly and impossible manner. Toto and Amamiya arrive at the scene to find Ron already there. A mysterious message makes them wonder if there's more to the crime than meets the eye.

There's been another murder in Shibuya. Shocked by the death, the victim's teammate runs. Ron and Toto race to catch him and find more information on the culprit picking off the hacker team. But the more they find, the more complicated things become.

A huge monitor across the street explodes. While Ron and Toto try to make sense of events, Winter tells them that they've lost more than they realize. As Winter torments Ron with the guilt of his failure, Ron realizes that Winter is hiding something.

Toto suggests that Ron take a rest. They invite Ron's doctor, Usaki Mofu, along and head for a dip in the ocean. Ron looks forward to having shaved ice with black sugar syrup from a beachside stand, but things soon take a tragic turn.

Ron and the others interview witnesses, but everyone has an alibi for the surfer's estimated time of death. They can't find any concrete evidence that indicates who committed the murder. Then Mofu's usual clumsiness leads to an unexpected clue.

Ron accompanies Toto to the concert of a super popular artist Nyonyon. After the performance, a card is found in her room. It's from the Talent Abductor, Hummingbird, who has been taking geniuses of all types one after another.
