A poison's composition with 成分
Kanji Explanation: Becoming and accomplishing with 成
A client tells Detective Mouri about the condition in which she found her deceased husband. Hearing the details, Conan identifies the likely poison, including the composition, the dosage required to kill, and the internal effects it has on a person. When Ran asks how he knows all this, Conan covers by saying the monster villain on the kid’s TV show he watched explained it.
- 蘭:
- 「随分 丁寧な怪人ね… 毒の成分まで教えてくれるなんて…」
- “What a polite villain... Going so far as to tell the poison's composition...”
- Literal: “What an awfully polite villain... even telling us the poison's composition...”
- “What a polite villain... Going so far as to tell the poison's composition...”
- コナン:
- 「そんな怪人いねーよ…」

Key Points
- Here it means the poison’s chemical makeup or ingredients, not just the poison’s name.
- 毒の成分 points to what the poison is made of.
- 成分まで教えてくれる means the villain even tells them the composition too.
- The surprise is not just that he explains the poison, but that he goes into unusually detailed, helpful specifics.
