The Black Organization is Conan's arch enemy. They are under the watchful eye of various organizations, including the FBI, CIA, and even the Public Security Agency, but what exactly is their purpose as an organization? It remains a mystery. In this article, we will look into the Black Organization's goals.
The Black Organization is a fairly large organization

There are many executives in the Black Organization who have code names for alcoholic beverages, including Gin and Vodka. However, many of the people who were killed due to betrayal or failure did not have code names that used the name of alcoholic beverages, and it is clear that even the lowest-ranking people are not in control. Therefore, it is easy for the police to infiltrate and conduct undercover investigations.
Money is needed

The incident at the amusement park in the first episode of Detective Conan. The Black Organization also appears here, but their purpose at that time was to exchange money. After that, the Black Organization continues to use Miyano Akemi to steal 1 billion yen and try to collect money in various ways. They may need money for research, but in the movie they destroy a helicopter in a dramatic way, so they probably need money for that too.
Is their main goal to create a drug?

The Black Organization is known for murder and collecting cash, but its true purpose is thought to be developing drugs. Haibara also used to develop drugs in the organization, and has added talented researchers from all over the world to its ranks. The fact that a talented researcher is participating in the recruitment of the obviously suspicious and dangerous Black Organization suggests that they are also investing a huge amount of money in it.
Does Pisco want to complete the drug that rejuvenates or revives the dead?

There are many different sources of information that have been used to speculate about APTX 4869, but the most interesting comment is what Pisco said when he saw the infantilized Haibara: "I never thought you'd made it this far..." Pisco, who knew a lot about the drug under development, said this, which means that the goal of "infantilizing" is getting closer to being achieved.
Will "that person" be the one to use the final drug?

Haibara has stated that the Black Organization has been in existence for half a century. If the Black Organization was created 50 years ago, that person must be quite old. That's why they're trying to create a rejuvenating drug. Or maybe he's no longer alive and they're trying to revive him with the power of the drug. Realistically, I think the most likely candidate is a rejuvenating drug.
Who is "that person" from the Black Organization?

Whenever we talk about Detective Conan, the "controversy over who that person is" almost always comes up. At one time, Professor Agasa was considered the most likely candidate, but due to comments by the author denying the theory that Professor Agasa is the real candidate, Karasuma Renya is now considered the favorite to be that person.

Regardless of the truth, Karasuma is said to have passed away 40 years ago at the age of 99 in the anime, but he continues to have such influence that prominent figures in the political world gather at his villa. His silhouette appears in the original work, and his crest is a crow. He is also depicted with a crow on his shoulder, and crows are black. When you think of Conan and black, you can imagine...
Theory that "that person" and Karasuma Ren'ya are different people

If the information introduced in the anime that he died at the age of 99 40 years ago is true, then "that person" would have ordered the creation of the medicine to bring Karasuma back to life. Pisco, a veteran of the organization, still knows "that person" and Gin has also received direct orders to kill Pisco, so it is believed that "that person" is still alive.
Summary of the Black Organization's Purpose and Theory

Even now, more than 20 years after the series began, the Black Organization is still full of mysteries. We can speculate from various angles, but the current situation is that we cannot give a clear answer. However, Karasuma fits the hints given by the author, and when we consider this, the organization's goal of developing drugs makes sense. I would like to hear the answer from the author while he is still alive, as to what the correct answer is.
