[shownohajimarida]

(Magic Kaito, Vol. 1, Ch. 1: 蘇る怪盗)

(Kid the Phantom Thief Special 01: 蘇る怪盗)

(Magic Kaito 1412 Ep. 01: 蘇る怪盗KID)

Now presenting: Part 1/? of something to keep the motor running 'til next chapter's ready. Starring fandom's old favorite: overanalysis.

You can expect all these to start with a cross-comp of the manga and its anime counterpart (assuming there are any), but beyond that, anything's fair game. Some of them will be about plot, some about characters, some about all the crossroads that Kaito's thousand-and-one translators have taken over the years.

Today? Let's talk about first impressions.

Big surprise, our series about semi-international man of mystery Kaitou Kid is kicked off by semi-international man of mystery Kaitou Kid—Kid, but not Kuroba. Not fils, not père.

No, this man is one Konosuke Jii, the faithful, the felicitous, the... forever forgotten. Sources that give him so much as honorary Kid status can be counted one hand, but make no mistake, he's the one who sets the tone for What Kaitou Kid Is, who holds this whole premiere together on a plot and character level. In fact, on at least one front he upstages both the Real™ Kids: putting the phantom in phantom thief.

Look at frames above. This is not a man who's here to clown, to dazzle everyone in the room and leave with a smile. This is a thing, impossible and implacable, that comes out of nowhere and makes everyone deal on its terms; if there's a why to what it does, it's not telling you, not without a fight.

Alas, all glory is fleeting. The series isn't Magic Jii* after all, and for the most part it is here to clown, so sooner or later all this had to go pbbbt to let the actual hero shine. We'll have plenty room in later posts to talk about Kid the Son (and the Father), but for now, let us remember Kid the Middle, soon to be banished the Land of Background Cameos forevermore.

(Incidentally: note the mask. Now note that in the days of yore, one M. Arsene Lupin stalked Tokyo in a little tale called Gold Mask (黄金仮面), which has been getting covers like this—

—since the 1950s, maybe earlier. Say what you will about Gosho Aoyama, he knows how to honor his precursors.)

* Know what, though? The timeline where it is probably kicks ass.

[autumn-foxfire]

Movie 12! Time for the middle finger at Gosho's decision to try and make Shinichi tone deaf movie! Although he recently realized doing so would mean Shinichi couldn't understand the sound of the phone call so he once again changed his mind. We love a consistent writer.

And it starts off with a bang! Literally!

Shinichi and Ai showing us they have the superior relationship in the series in the introduction, as always.

And of course its followed by the lackluster relationship between him and Ran.

Ran: Do you want to come?

Shinichi: Sorry Ran, I can't go.

Ran: But maybe you can! (and keeps asking when Shinichi informs her again that he genuinely can't)

Shinichi finally: I just told you I can't so please stop meddling in my affairs.

Ran: Oh I'm just a meddling karate idiot am I (he didn't say that), well I'll insult you in turn and then hang up on you.

Such a great and romantic relationship guys! It's not even playful teasing, it's Ran pulling a hissy fit because Shinichi isn't doing what she wants him to do and got upset when he got a bit annoyed she wouldn't take no for an answer.

This is one of my favourite movies just because of the music.

Reiko has no chill. Poor Agasa, he puts effort into those quiz. Though Shinichi also finds them stupid so he can't win anywhere.

I love the Detective Boys, they went to a celebrity singer and asked for her help and somehow got it XD

LMAO Shinichi quickly trying to get in Ai's good books after he told her she was a bit stuck-up like Reiko by telling her he meant she was a pretty as her.

Oh my god Ran, he just told you he couldn't join you and to stop asking him when the answer wouldn't change, there's no reason to take your anger out on Sonoko for it.

Why are they calling it a fight?! It wasn't a fight, Ran was behaving like a brat because she didn't get her way. Don't blame Shinichi for this. He usually is the ass to Ran but this time the fault is all on her. God they really can't resist making their relationship god fucking awful even in movies.

I need them to understand what tone deaf means. You can't have perfect pitch and be tone deaf because being tone deaf means you can't tell the differences in pitch and Shinichi can. He just can't sing, there is a difference.

Genta deserved to be poisoned, really. He's lucky that it wasn't deadly in nature.

Reiko, if you're planning to talk to Genta's parents about how they raised him, she should do the same for all the DCMK parents. Give them the verbal whiplashing they deserve.

I love murder happening as classical music plays. So fancy.

Awww poor Takagi, he got intimidated by Reiko.

Once again I repeat myself, the people don't have to have a link to Shinichi (or Ran) in order for him to want to protect them. This is a boy who will save murderers and serial killers because he views life as precious and I hate when the act like he would need a reason beyond that to protect them (I know they're implying that he only wants to help her because she's the reason he and Ran stopped arguing when in middle school which makes me want to gag).

Shinichi kept the shooting secret too because Reiko wants him too (and also because he's probably interested in knowing why the culprit didn't shoot when he had a great shot).

I love they just let Kogoro accuse a man of serial murder and the police did not ask him for his reasoining and evidence before they took him to the man's home.

Shinichi bonds more with Reiko than he does with Ran. It makes sense, considering how much alike she is to Ai who is a much better friend to Shinichi and him to her than either he or Ran will be with one another (at least how they're written in canon).

Detective Conan is so insane. In no other anime will you have a shrunken teen knock a phone off its reciever and then imitate the sounds of the phone buttons in order to call the police for help. Oh they were stranded in the middle of a lake near a dam I should add. Also for once Shinichi wasn't off tune XD

Shinichi and Reiko are cut from the same cloth, lying to the police to get their own way. And both of them know each other did. Shinichi isn't wrong, Reiko is so much like Ai.

Oh fuck off Shinichi, you don't give as much of a shit about Ran as you like to believe you do and we all know it.

I mentioned in a poll earlier the oldest song I know is Amazing Grace. I am not ashamed to admit it was because of this movie.

I appreciate the movie naming the music that is being played.

And fuck off Ran as well. Don't make this movie about you and your shitty behaviour.

Another great part of this movie, Reiko helping Shinichi stall for time, Ai telling Shinichi about Satou's plan and Satou getting to be the one who stops the criminal from blowing the hall up. For a change, the female characters have their moment to shine in very important ways. Even Sonoko gets a moment. Ran... someone get her better writers.

And it's quite sad that this case was caused by a misunderstanding between two people.

YES. SHE AND SHINICHI ARE PARTNERS IN CRIME.

Shinichi, why are you rewarding Ran's bratty behaviour from the start of this movie. She does not deserve it and needs to learn to accept that Shinichi told her no.

Anyway, a great movie. Remove the forced relationship between Ran and Shinichi, especially Ran's shitty behaviour, and it would be an almost perfect movie for me.

[letitrainasunnyday]

Shinichi, not just his identity now but his life, is seriously in danger now... what do you think is going to happen? what are your expectations on the possible bourbon vs conan showdown? and what do you really do not want to happen??

Okay. This is going to be long, I apologize in advance. 

First of all, let me just clearly state that I am 100% on board with the theory that Aoyama’s health is quickly deteriorating (as heartbroken I am to hear this) and that’s why he’s probably starting to rush through developments. Taking into account how long it took him to divulge Vermouth and Bourbon’s identity, it is incredibly suspicious that he full on just told us who the Boss is now, right after file 1000, right after such a big romantic development, without having said who Rum is. Usually he’d stick to an unrelated Detective Boys’ case and go back to the status quo. But he didn’t. Which means I can somewhat safely say that this is, my dear friends, the beginning of the end. 

That being said, it’s always dangerous to speculate what’s going to happen, because Gosho’s writing ends up being unpredictable a lot of the times. But here’s what I hope will somehow happen: 

-Bourbon will manage to let Conan know that Rum’s investigating Shinichi Kudo, and they’ll secretly team up à la Akai and Conan to help mislead Rum and probably use Rum to their advantage so that he or she can lead them to… well… I guess I can now say Karasuma. 

-The showdown (if it exists) will be a ruse –a fakeout. Bourbon and Conan will let everyone (including us) think they’re going up against each other but in reality they’ll be working together. 

-Conan will start gathering his squad (and yes I mean including Hattori, please, for the love of God let Hattori in on the Organization shenanigans already jesus) and will start coming up with some amazing plan none of us could’ve ever thought about to take down the Organization with Yusaku and Akai’s help (mainly).

-Somewhere in between all of this mess, or rather as the story progresses, we’ll get more information regarding the Organization and Karasuma that we don’t know like: Vermouth’s connection to Karasuma? Why is he presumed dead? Is he really dead? Is he alive? Why is he so fixed on creating an elixir for immortality? Is that actually what he’s after? Why are the Akais so involved? WHO THE FUCK IS RUM? WHERE THE FUCK ARE THESE BITCHES HIDING AT? 

-Haibara will have a pivotal role (I hope) in that she will finally reveal that she’s a lying little shit and either a) knew about Karasuma in some regards, b) has the antidote ready and hasn’t told Shinichi till now, or c) could probably tell you the location of the Organization’s headquarters. She knows more than she’s telling, always has, and I am ready for her mask to drop and for real shit to be revealed. 

-Sera and Mary are going to fuck shit up eventually and become allies with Shinichi, and probably have a rather cold (on Mary’s behalf anyway) reencounter with Akai. Don’t really care for them tbh. 

-Yukiko being both useful in the fight against the Organization (with Vermouth, etc…) and actively shipping and helping ShinRan. 

-Ran and Shinichi being lovey-dovey whilst shit is going down because mY KIDS ARE DATING AND THEY DESERVE TO BE IDIOTS IN LOVE before it all goes to hell.       -This includes Shinichi worrying about Ran, missing her, Ran referring to Shinichi as her boyfriend, both wanting to be with the other all the time, bla bla bla

What I don’t want to happen, however, is:

-Amuro being a little motherfucking shit and giving Shinichi up to the Organization to maintain his status in order to achieve his personal vendetta or whatever the fuck he’s up to with the Organization. I never really did like Amuro much, but if he turns on Shinichi and it’s not part of some kind of plan, I will hunt that bitch’s ass down and I will cut every single one of his extremities until nothing of his body remains. 

-Sera and Mary fucking it up with their absolute bullshit and somehow ruining Shinichi’s (and Akai and Yusaku’s) plan to confront the BO and getting Shinichi into more danger. 

-Anything that jeopardizes ShinRan other than a) one of the two of them being in mortal danger (because lbr the other one will save them) or b) Ran being mad at Shinichi because he didn’t tell her about Conan (because this will get resolved happily eventually). 

-ANYONE THAT IS NOT A BO MEMBER DYING. I AM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS ONE AOYAMA. DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS TO ME. DO NOT FUCK WITH ME. 

-Conan, Akai and Yusaku coming up with some incredibly improbable and unrealistic plan that would’ve never worked in real life but somehow (and because of some shit deus-ex-machina thing) works in canon. I want something legit, seemingly-real and that I am amused and amazed by. 

[meitanteimary]

hi! asking for dc asks! :D 9, 14, and 32!

Hello there! Thank you for the questions :D

9. What is your favourite/most memorable case? The Moonlight Sonata Murder case really hit me and it’s one of the cases I had to watch again to really understand it cause I was really young when I saw it. It’s such a sad case and I think Shinichi will never forget that. Another case I remember very clearly is Shinichi’s New York case! I remember watching it on tv and I was really fascinated by everything, New York, the Broadway show, the case.. Also remember when we didn’t know who Akai was? Well I was hella fucking scared of Akai cause who’s this guy??? why is he there?? FBI?? Is the FBI good or bad? So yes, I remember this case so clearly! Also uhm, also the Mermaid case, I remember that very clearly cause I wanted to be a mermaid when I was younger so I got traumatized by that case lmao

14. If you were to form your own Detective Boys squad, who are 5 characters you’d choose to join the team?Me, Heiji, Shinichi, Masumi and Akai!

32. What are your speculations about the end of the series? (And how would you end it? Oooooh so, let me start by saying I think we’re getting closer to the end. I feel it. I think? Hope? Anyway, I’m hoping for a big BOvsEveryone case. But before that, Ran already finds out that Conan is Shinichi. I imagine something like, Ran finds out Conan is Shinichi but she’s a fucking badass so she’s like ‘okay u piece of shit you are shinichi alright let’s kick some BO’s asses and then I’ll kick yours’ or something like that. In the fight there’s gonna be Shinichi of course but also the FBI and Furuya with his friends from PSB. Eventually the good guys win, cause Gosho says there’s gonna be a happy ending. And they find the antidote. And I think Vermouth will die. Idk I don’t wanna think about the ending chapters so much cause I like surprises and I wanna be surprised!

ASK ME DC STUFF!
