Kaitou - Tumblr Posts

kaitou kid as a concept is so funny like he barely commits crimes. he's a criminal but rlly only in one of the tamest senses of the word. he returns everything he steals? but then he's still breaking and entering and stealing things and they cant just have this magician kid in white strutting around stealing valuable objects even if he does return them later. so theyre like "ig we do need catch him (?)"

but then they have a whole task force dedicated to catching him?? like people's entire jobs are dedicated to piecing together how and when he's going to not-steal something and stop him from not-stealing it when he's gonna return it literally the next week. and multiple genius detectives have made him their rival and started attending heists for the sole purpose of catching him. like bro. first of all this isnt a detective case this is a wild goose chase. u arent gonna detective ur way into catching a hyperactive teen with a hang glider. second of all ur a genius detective and this is what u choose to do with ur time and energy?? catch a 'criminal' whose only real damage done to society is making a billionaire sweat that theyve lost a total 0.0001% of their net worth before ultimately returning it? like rlly kaitou kid is only an elaborate, somewhat rule breaking prankster. and yet the state of japan wastes so much manpower trying to stop an ultimately harmless figure. like xjgnsmjfk

and then. better yet. theyve literally never been able to catch him. like not even close. at a certain point u need to admit that this aint even close to worth the resources even if u do manage to catch him. its like a full SWAT team going out decked out with hazmat suits and guns and running a whole military operation to corner a pigeon who's shitting on public property. who then just ends up flying away. and every time the pigeon comes back they roll out again with the whole getup.

personally i just think the kuroba's taunt level is that high. like whenever kaitou kid comes on everyone he comes into contact with either turns into a fan or hates him with burning passion. so theyre all like, fuck this guy in particular. we need to catch him

Kuroba Kaito HC: Career

Unlike many, I'm the odd duck who likes to think that Kaito would remain as KID when Pandora's destroyed instead of hanging up his mantle. Because unlike his parents who became thieves as a means to an end, Kaito finds that its the opposite for him

It's an ironic twist of fate, but Kaito discovered his life's calling when he became KID

Initially, he thought he'd be a stage magician like his dad. It's certainly a dream he'd love to live out but then he became KID and suddenly, the whole world became his stage.

But not only

He enjoys the thrill and excitement in pulling off impossible heists. The awe and joy in bringing smiles and wonder onto people's faces

The chase. The battle of wits

Helping people

Protecting people

In becoming KID, he discovers that he wants to use his magic not just for shows but to hone them into something that can help and protect others too

So he does-- striving to make the impossible, possible

How?

By being the first person in history to make 'phantom thief' into a legitimate career

It takes some effort but considering his contribution in bringing down the BO, he eventually found a way to ensure Interpol would have his back. Once done, Kaito soon make quick work in turning his crazy idea into reality

It certainly took the world by storm when it was made official and he became a freelance agent for Interpol

Never let it be said that Kuroba Kaito does things by halves

While he still prefers working around and even outside of the law, people now know he's on the side of justice so teaming-up with law enforcements is a great deal easier than before

Which also means flirting with his beloved tantei-kun without worry too!

Shinichi may not admit it, but he's pretty happy that he can kiss the stupid thief without having to worry about being a criminal accomplice and such

Granted, it never stopped him before but still

Anyways, Shinichi is also the 1st person Kaito told his grand plan to, which in retrospect, didn't really surprise Shinichi as much as he thought. He always suspected that KID wasn't just an entertainer or a thrill seeker

And its nice, being able to work together on a regular basis without worry about 'repaying debts', 'exchanging favours' or being situational allies

:3

copying the artstyles was kind of difficult (specially with Kaito xd) but it was actually really fun, too
