This is the face of a man learning the true meaning of unconditional love. His heart is fragile, and his trust in others is poor. But even if he has run shied away from vulnerability in the past, he now is coming to the realization of what being chosen feels like, without having to perform for it. Without having to go the extra mile to earn it.

How does the moive where Kid pretends to be Hakuba factor into your Hakuba is actually trying to befriend Hattori but keeps rubbing the guy the wrong way. I really like that take btw.

That is a very good question.

Sorry it took a bit longer to answer this one, I went back and rewatched the movie since it's been a while. Anyway....

And damn is it hilarious that Hattori see's 'Hakuba' in that movie and is just like 'who the fuck is this?' I always forget about that, and it will never not be funny to me that this movie came out shortly after the detective Koshien being happening in the manga. So there's a bit of a chicken or the egg situation here on if the movie comes before the detective Koshien or after (considering how long it takes a feature length animated movie to be made....)

To paint everyone here in as positive a light as possible I'm going to move on the assumption that the movie goes first then the Koshien happens not long after. (Because this way Hattori isn't just denying that he knows Hakuba when he's already met him, then proceeding to have a repeat conversation about how they're both children of police chiefs.)

And it's interesting that they have that conversation that kinda mirrors the one at the Koshien when they meet here because even though there's a lot similar in both of these 'first meetings' the vibes are totally different. Conan being weirded out when 'Hakuba' bends down to wink at him after never treating him like a child before, and Hattori picks up on Conan being unsettled even if he doesn't understand why and that results in Hattori being more quiet and observing instead of being prickly.

Though really a lot of this speaks more to Kaito than it does Hakuba since this is inevitably the result of Kaito trying to act like Hakuba, but his goal isn't to perfectly replicate Hakuba, the disguise is just a means to the end of helping Hattori and Conan, so it's not a problem if he's a little out of character as long as he's helping. Kaito isn't an investigator, but he's good at talking to people and he's good at action so he helps how he can while playing Hakuba. And ultimately this results in an impression of Hakuba that's slightly clumsy as a detective but reliable when it comes down to it.

I think that if this were a 'first meeting' that Hattori was allowed to remember he'd probably end up with a better over all impression of Hakuba, because rescuing Conan definitely earned some respect points.... but it wouldn't be a correct one, because that's just not Hakuba.

Frankly I love the dynamic that results from Hakuba trying to be friendly with Hattori in the same way he is with Kaito, only for Hattori to take it the wrong way. And I'm gonna stick to that unless Gosho gives me another case where they're both there.

Since I'm talking about this movie anyway, I'm going to bring up something else I've mentioned before, but this is the only time we ever see Hakuba not wearing clothes that read as business casual. And the fact that that's Kaito's fault means that either this is the kind of clothes he casually wears when we don't see him..... or Kaito decided to take the chance to play dress up- and I kinda hope it's the later, because while it's not a bad outfit or anything but it just kinda doesn't look right on him.

But anyway that's probably enough rambling for now. Hope that answered the question.

Excerpt

And suddenly Troy was there, laying low, hoping to see him – because he didn’t know where exactly to find him. Didn’t even know his name. Didn’t know anything about him except that he’d almost killed Troy. Wanted to, Troy was sure. He had seen it in those unforgiving eyes, in the tenseness of his muscles, the barely controlled anger. The cruel spite with which he’d uncovered Troy’s shame, had played him, so expertly. He’d only let Troy live because this was worse for Troy, the knowledge of how Troy had reacted to those threats.

Troy still felt hot all over when he recalled it, still felt arousal stir in him. More, even. Yearning. Yearning for what the Indian had offered, teased him with. That sweet release of death. Oh, the way the Indian had looked at him, dangerous. Demanding. The way he’d pinned him down – the way he hadn’t left him a choice had made Troy want to give this to him. He’d earned it.

And he wanted to hate him for deciding not to take Troy’s life after all but – he couldn’t. Yearning to be forced into that hopeless place again, the only thing his mind was capable of.

And for a second he though he was hallucinating things when he saw his Indian step out of the RV, and take a seat in one of the little chairs in front, his mind so addled only when he lit a cigarette did Troy understand that this was real. He didn’t know the Indian smoked, hadn’t even considered it a possibility.
