Explain the character Phillippe, played brilliantly for a year by 16-year-old Masaki Suda.
Information gathering is the main
Shotaro, who runs Narumi Detective Agency with Philip, is a man of action. He travels to places on his own and often gets involved in disputes.
Philip, on the other hand, is a cautious person and mainly gathers information. He has the ability to access a database called the “Earth’s Bookshelf” and collects information from there that will help him solve the case.
The way he calls up a large number of bookshelves with the line, “Let’s start the search,” is so mature that he doesn’t look like a 16-year-old actor.
Rescued from a secret society
Shotaro and Philip did not start out running a detective agency together.
Philip was in a secret society of the Sonosaki family called “Museum”. Philip was captured by the Museum and was in a state of amnesia, but Shoutaro rescued him and they started working together as a detective.
Why was Phillip in a rival secret society? The mystery will be revealed in episodes 38 and 45.
Philip is a member of the Sonosaki family! And it was dead
Phillip’s real name is Sonozaki Raito, as revealed in Episode 38. As his last name suggests, Philip was originally a member of the Sonosaki family.
He is the son of Ryubei Sonosaki, the head of the museum. The experiments of Ryubei Sonosaki had caused his amnesia.
The fact that he was a member of a hostile organization is shocking enough, but even more shocking is the fact that Philip is dead. In episode 45, Philip is revealed to have fallen to his death in the space where he could communicate with Earth.
Just before he tumbled to his death, Philip’s body became a data source as he communicated with the earth. He was able to collect information on the “Earth’s Bookshelf” because he was communicating with the Earth just before he fell to his death.
