            satan.        |                    circa. 2015.

   a deep dive into         magic and madness ,  the woes of revenge ,  slipping away from the people you love ,  and becoming the phantom of your father.

   disclaimer     i do not own detective conan,      magic kaito ,      or kuroba kaito.

for seven long years , all you remember of the stage was the way the fire burned. the oppressive heat , the damage on your back , the screams. there's a part of you that thinks you remember the surprise on his face when it happened. there's a part of you who knows you were too far away. you're not sure you're grateful for that or not.the fire has been there in the back of your mind. your father had been the greatest magician ever , so of course it had to be sabotage! but no matter what you said , no matter what you did , everyone took it to be the pleading words of a naïve child in denial. so , you swallowed it down down down.until. until.now , you're standing just as he did , facing the moonlight. a venerable phantom , your father's ghost. he was better in every single way , and you're facing the same fire as he did. you can feel it , biting at your ankles and chasing at your feet. you know you won't survive this , but you put on a lie. kaitō kid the phantom thief is here to play! this is not a revenge story where the protagonist will die trying. you smile and you lie. they both are the same anyway.

guidelines ,

a liar is the beginning of a thief.

law one ,

a liar is the beginning of a thief.

movie 27.      tōichi and yūsaku are not brothers on my blog. therefore, kaito and shinichi are not cousins. i will continue to selectively ship kaishin. if that makes you feel uncomfortable, feel free to unfollow. i'm sorry, but fuck gosho-sensei for sharing important information about two characters that have been very popularly shipped thirty years later.(remember, death to the author unless i like the author's decisions.)

law two ,

a liar is the beginning of a thief.

tōichi being alive.      it has been canon on my blog since 2015-2016 that tōichi has been alive all this time. tōichi is living in las vegas. chikage is only made aware of his survival a year before the kaitō corbeau arc. kaito, on the other hand, is unaware and believes that the kaitō corbeau that stayed with him was chikage and the one who flew way was jii-chan. unlike chikage, jii-chan also has no idea that tōichi is alive and thus had no hand in the kaitō corbeau heist.

law three ,

a liar is the beginning of a thief.

age.      i prefer to write kaito as a college-aged student. as he is still canonically a minor, there will be no smut and he will not be shipped with canonical adult characters.

law four ,

a liar is the beginning of a thief.

canon-divergent.      please make sure to check out kaito's biography and his portrayal posts. i have been writing him for nearly a decade now, and my understanding of kaito is much different from how fanon (sometimes) likes to portray him.

“ kaito … remember this well. when you’re in front of the audience , you’re in a duel. do not be ARROGANT or look down on them. see through your opponent’s heart … concentrate all your NERVES to the extremities of your limbs. perform your best tricks without LOSING YOUR SMILE or your dignity. and , no matter what … always remember your poker face. ”

kaitō kid's history. kaitō kid’s first appearance was in paris in honour of phantom lady’s retirement. he then spent the next decade stealing priceless artefacts, paintings, jewels and jewellery, etc. his m.o. tends to be non-violent (but he has physically knocked people unconscious), and he tends to use magic to help him pull off his heists. after that decade, he suddenly disappeared for eight years before he made his re-appearance by using a “disappearing” trick. since then, he has continued to be active.affiliations. none to any criminal groups. has at least one or two partners , but tends to work alone. there was one notable exception with nightmare but m.o. of nightmare means kid must have been threatened to work for him.

   kaito's history    kuroba kaito is a student by day and doubles as the international phantom thief kaitō kid by night. he started his night job as kid at the age of fifteen when he found out that his father (who died eight years prior) was the original kid.since becoming kid, he’s learnt that his father’s “accidental” death was in fact a murder by an organisation whom toichi refused to steal a jewel for. this jewel is called pandora, and legend states that every thousand years,, it will cry tears that will grant anyone immortality. the only way for it to be detected is if the jewel shines red under the moonlight.he’s vowed to steal the jewel before the organisation who killed his father could and destroy it so no one can ever use it to hurt anyone ever again. unluckily for him, the organisation knows of his plan and is trying to kill him, usually by sending assassins after him. luckily for him, the organisation believes that he is kuroba tōichi, back from the dead and doesn’t know he’s actually tōichi’s son.
