This is what it's like to watch Detective Conan in America. They will even have commercial segways where they say "hey, remember this important clue!" And then not even use that clue in the English dub's edit. They still present it as a mystery the viewer can solve, but then the solution is always some convoluted BS using clues the audience was never shown lol

commercial segways

I'm amused at the linguistic backport that just occurred here.

I’m sure they meant segue here

segue 1 of 3 imperative verb se·​gue ˈse-(ˌ)gwā ˈsā- 1: proceed to what follows without pause —used as a direction in music 2: perform the music that follows like that which has preceded —used as a direction in music

No, I totally meant those little upright, lean-to go forward scooter things. 👀
