✨💎Still There, Top Kaito(u) Artist?💎✨

And so there came a day when the promise was made reality—a day when the greatest stage in Ekoda was set—a day when we can all proudly say,

MK Redraw Signups Now OPEN!

Yes, that's right. If this is all news to you, we're putting together a zine to recreate Magic Kaito's first volume, page by unforgettable page. Do you have a pen, a screen, and an all-burning obsession with International Criminal 1412? Then you're welcome aboard!

Now, you may have already seen the banner from earlier this week, in which case don't worry. This one leads to the exact same form, no revisits necessary. Buuut while you're reading this, let's try to clear up a couple questions and whatnot from early applicants...

If you're after specific pages, please make sure to list them in order of priority. Do-overs won't be easy to handle; if you absolutely need one, please contact us privately. We won't attach your name to any Ask without your say-so.

If you're looking to sign up as a team, please understand that still only guarantees one page for all two/three/four of you combined. More will only be assigned if there are still unclaimed pages after signups close June 5.

Once June rolls around, please have some kind of private messaging open to us. We'll need to send you that page assignment and Discord invite somehow.

If you're curious about anything else, look through our FAQ tag or Ask us directly! But try not to dawdle—these spots are going faster than you think!

Thank u for tagging me @yumerikka 🫰

She looks way cooler than the real me lol. But I do wear red glasses and show my canine teeth when I smile. 😃

I've never been tagged before. Thanks, @myxownxghost (you have green eyes? Pretty girl, I'm jealous) Blog & Blogger (picrew link). My blog is too obscure for such flashmobs, but the tool had a Kim Kitsuragi background, so I felt obligated.

Tagging @alt3rnata, @liddolwitch. You, too, shall suffer this fate. If you want to.

Chapter 12 - Reprise

"Hattori-kun. I know you are worried, but losing your head won't help us." She told him, gently but firmly. Her hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly. Heiji pressed his head against the window, leg jumping up and down. "My head is right where it needs to be."

Some other shots that I really enjoyed making^^

Some transition shots from the animatic.

Here’s a little animatic for Shinichi’s birthday！Happy birthday buddy🥳🎂. May you find your way back to your true self and a life of peace.😌

*About the ending:

Returning to the amusement park isn’t meant to suggest that everything was just a dream—it’s more about showing that, after everything has settled, he’s finally able to return to a normal life.

Karasuma Renya’s character design references James Moriarty from the novels. The final scene is also intended to echo Sherlock Holmes’ plunge into the waterfall with his adversary—except this time, he ultimately runs toward the light and emerges on the other side. After all, May 4th is both his birthday and the day Sherlock Holmes fell from Reichenbach Falls. This parallel might be subtle, so I wanted to clarify it explicitly.🙏

My @heishinvalentineexchange2025 gift for the immensely kind and patient @caliowl333, who graciously allowed me to participate with a video instead of fic or art! (And wrote me a 20,000+-word piece in exchange?! Oh my goodness!)

Song is the SadBois & NIO Remix of "Other Side" by ILLENIUM, featuring Vera Blue, which you can listen to in full here. Ramblings under the cut!

When I first began seriously video editing, I didn't think much about composition or how well clips flowed together—lyric sync was arguably my main goal, and anime pieces were thrown onto the timeline pretty much purely based on that.

Now, I put much more care into the very visual elements—the effects, the match cuts, the dazzle. But in the process, I fear that I'm losing what audiences found engaging about my early videos: the actual ideas.

So, for this AMV, I aimed to put the most effort into a strong concept. The titular "other side" is a world without the Black Organization, where Shinichi can freely be himself. Heiji is waiting for that world, where he no longer has to lie and pat Conan's head and pretend that they're not peers, and Shinichi is dreaming of that world because he's always dreamed of working with somebody just like him. The thought of meeting Heiji someday, when he first learns of his existence (Episode 490), fills Shinichi with excitement. He does a lot on his own, but he also loves working on a team—and doing so, being with people, sharing his enthusiasm with others—is what he wants more than anything.

(Heck, there's even a piece of official art called "Conan's Dream Vacation" where he dreams of playing beach volleyball with Heiji and Ran and Kazuha—as himself.)

Sure, you could argue that Shinichi simply enjoys working with Heiji as Conan because Heiji treats him as he truly is. But the times he spends as Shinichi with Heiji point to the fact that no, he just really likes deducting with Heiji. Eagerness, big smiles—in "The Scarlet School Trip" (Episodes 927-928), involving Heiji in the case of the day takes precedence over solving it himself, as he immediately shares what he knows and even jostles Heiji awake when he learns more, before doing anything else, because there's no way he's going to solve it alone. He doesn't want to.

But as things are, being Shinichi is pain. He takes an antidote, but it's poison. Being Conan is what's become "normal" and "comfortable," but Conan can't be what Shinichi is to Heiji. Conan isn't strong enough to catch Heiji when he's falling. Conan can't save him from bullets. Conan can't even talk to him naturally without hiding and secrets. His dreams have become nightmares.

And it can't be easy for Heiji, either. To see someone you care about suffering. To know that Shinichi is in a dangerous situation—and involving himself in it applies that same danger to himself. It'd make sense for Heiji to walk away and wash his hands of it... but Shinichi really wants him to stay. Despite everything, he wants Heiji to stay. For that someday when they can be true partners "on the other side."

I tried to say other things in here, too. Shinichi cementing himself as a precious person to Heiji by countering his insecurities with a one truth prevails and this isn't a competition and you don't have to prove yourself to me. Heiji finding Shinichi even after becoming Conan because he'll always find Shinichi, no matter what, because he's dreaming of being "on the other side," too (even if he didn't know it initially). Shinichi pushing Heiji away with coldness because maybe it's selfish to want him to stay, maybe it's cruelty to involve him, but he can't deny that he cares, that he wants Heiji with him, that he doesn't want to do this on his own.

And while I maybe still went a little ham on the effects, I do hope my ideas are the strongest of all! "No effects" versus effects comparison can be found here!

Thank you again for all your hard work organizing this event, Cali!!
