Inspector Lunge
Inspector Lunge works for the BKA—basically Germany's version of the FBI—and is known for his obsessive dedication to solving cases. He's best known for his distinctive habit of moving his hand in a specific way to mentally "store" information from his investigations, a quirk that's become pretty iconic among fans.
When Dr. Tenma gets accused of murder in Düsseldorf, Lunge lands the case and becomes convinced of Tenma's guilt. His confidence isn't exactly unfounded—his track record is genuinely impressive, and he's solved basically everything thrown at him. The problem is, that success has made him almost arrogant about his own infallibility. Lunge operates with the assumption that he can't actually be wrong, which ends up defining how he pursues the case and how he treats anyone who stands in his way.
