Special Abilities:
- Athleticism: in spite of his physically young age, Shin'ichi is trained to an exceptional degree in soccer, having been scouted for professional teams while still in junior high school. Although his abilities are reduced by his current stature, he continues to train his stamina, running ability, reflexes, aim, and situational awareness to a high standard. He is capable of kicking balls and other objects with a degree of accuracy sufficient to hit targets over hundreds of meters, even factoring in the necessary angles and force to make rebound shots off of multiple surfaces.
- Bad Acting: Shin'ichi is a relatively poor liar, preferring to rely on bluffs and omissions rather than attempting outright falsehoods. This has led to the perception that 'Conan' is an eccentric child, due to the more typical perception that a reversal of age is unlikely if not impossible.
- Cryptography: Shin'ichi is highly skiled in developing and cracking ciphers and codes.
- Firearms: Shin'ichi is trained in the use and maintenance of handguns as well as other projectile weapons, including his trademark sleeping darts. His aim is sufficient to make disabling shots without causing permanent injury.
- Intuition: Shin'ichi's ability to sense imminent danger and concealed intent is developed to an extremely high degree, a quality that Saotome Ranma described as 'ki awareness'. He is able to sense the lingering traces of bloodlust and violence on others, immediately recognizing murderers even when they are not actively bearing harmful intent. This ability applies even when a person's violent intentions are self-directed.
- X+:
- Intellect:
- Bomb Disposal: Shin'ichi is skilled to a professional level in defusing explosives without instruction.
- Eidetic Memory: Shin'ichi's ability to recall details of lived experience and observed sights and sensations borders on hyperthymesia,
- First Aid: self-trained in emergency medicine, triage, and anatomy, Shin'ichi is familiar with the appropriate responses to situations such as poisoning, life-threatening injuries, and envenomation.
- Investigation: Shin'ichi possesses several years of experience as an amateur private investigator and police consultant, with the relevant skills being polished to a high degree, including exceptional observational skills, in-depth knowledge of criminal psychology, and police procedures.
- X++:
- Speed-Reading: Shin'ichi is able to read, comprehend, and memorize text in both Japanese and English at an exceptionally high speed.
- Trivia: Shin'ichi has an exceptionally broad (albeit not necessarily deep) knowledge of an incredible range of topics, although he is at times hampered by a lack of awareness of topics more typical of a child of his apparent age, or even for more everyday teenagers.
- Web Design: Shin'ichi's knowledge of computer use and markup languages is sufficient to create and maintain a professional-looking website.
- Linguistics: Shin'ichi is a native speaker of Japanese and possesses a high degree of fluency in English, being able to comprehend dialectical differences between American and British English, as well as read lips with a high degree of accuracy in either language. He has a limited understanding of German and Italian.
- Martial Arts: together with his existing athleticism, Shin'ichi has studied karate alongside Ran to a level that exceeds everyday expertise.
- Music: A trained violinist, Shin'ichi is gifted with perfect pitch and is able to easily identify and imitate tones, although his ability to vocally imitate full chords via relative pitch is severely hampered to the point of being painful for listeners.
