detective conan – Page 7 – Moonlight Archive

(Also pausing to bring something I did a very long time ago and still like the idea of.)

(…I do think Kid would do well in the less-used Juggler class. :V )

Casual friendly reminder that ‘smiles and laughter are always good, but never forget your poker face’ is not a quote from Kuroba Kaito/Kaitou Kid. It’s stated every time it’s said that those words are what Toichi taught to his son, and said son would appreciate it more if credit was given where due.

(So Conan’s creepy smile got put up to demonic with blood and fire. But it’s been there for a while. V: )

(Adding that all Conan from the Kid specials 7-12 are creepy, just picked this one for random, and the one above it it from… *checks episode numbers real quick because I literally already had that screenshot, just titled ‘creeper Conan’ in my DC screenshots folder beforehand* 131.)

(Non-canon OVA, and during a scene that would have Kid running, more than likely. Like: Oh shi- Outtaherebye.)

((Bonus, though not as evil looking as flashy glasses Conan.))

I feel like Tuxedo Mask was the inspiration of Kaitou KID…

I feel like Tuxedo Mask was the inspiration of Kaitou KID…

“…Okay, I know. Sailor Moon was more popular, it took off, it got an anime, it was known outside of Japan. People will always jump to that guy when they see me. But let me explain something to you…”

“Tuxedo Mask was apparently introduced in the first chapter of Sailor Moon. In 1992. I was introduced in 1987.”

“So please do me a favour and never say that again. Thank you.”

“…That motorcycle stunt really is still physically impossible, you know… Fire catches onto spilled gasoline too slowly and actually moving on the thing spreads the leaked gas too thin for the fire to catch. Not to mention, even if it did make it to the tank, it wouldn’t blow up…”

See why he doesn’t really take physics into account when dealing with tantei-kun? Impossible explosion is why. Not fun.

(…After the Movie 3 post about Kaito landing on the building he flew over, and seeing the DC Rewatch question about the circumstance, I feel the need to explain more of why I came up with that as the explanation. Though I’ll say right off that I can’t defend Kaito’s not getting injured by the bullet entirely, much like Conan really shouldn’t have been able to take the force of one up close at all later. Kid at least got affected by that force, but unless it just managed to hit the rim of his monocle to break it, but put the bullet off enough not to actually hit him… yeah, he should have at least gotten a scratch to his cheek there from a glancing hit. Maybe he covered it up, though, we don’t know. Kaito’s luck and Conan defying physics aren’t easy to even try and explain.

How and where he fell, however, is a different story.

First off: Why I believe he fell in the building (which looks to be an aquarium).

Main point: He did fly over it. And because of that, most likely had to land there.

He’s heading for it in this picture.

And it’s where Scorpion is aiming.

Scorpion holds the gun directly in front.

And is facing parallel to the bridge. Which goes directly to that building. If Kid had been anywhere but over it, either to Scorpion’s left, closer to the water, or beyond the building to Kid’s right as he approaches, Scorpion wouldn’t have been able to get a shot. And we know that’s the bridge Conan runs under while chasing Kid. Which leads to another thing.

After passing under the bridge, Conan made a turn and down another way to get to the water. Right beside it. And while I don’t have another screenshot handy, you can see he’s near enough to a building to see the steps. Very likely the same building that’s the center of all of this.

So, via bad paint skills, this is likely Conan’s path. Now, since the shot was taken parallel to the bridge, Kid’s position was not one that would have allowed him to make it to the water. It doesn’t look that far on here, but it’s enough to cause a problem, and remember, at the time, his glider was of absolutely no use. The frame had broken, and wouldn’t be able to glide at all. He’d not be able to go vertical enough to reach the water from there in a freefall, he’d hit the pavement. Hence why it’s more likely he landed on the building he was shot above. It’s closer, being high up. And he may have gotten a bit of vertical distance, but not enough to carry him to the water.

So I personally believe he just landed close enough for things to be thrown over, out of sight of the shooter, and to where people would think he wasn’t where he was. Police and Conan thought he landed in the water, and maybe Scorpion as well. I doubt anyone actually checked the building, or, if they did, Kaito would have had time to get out while the police mobilised from ‘Kid heist prep mode’ to ‘search for the possibly drowned thief’ mode.

Again, can’t speak for the bullet, but I really, really don’t think he ever made it to that water at all.)

kkrazy256:

What I really want to know is what happened in the twenty four hours after this scene.

Because I went through this frame by frame and the glider was nearly completely torn off his body. He was spinning, tumbling and free-falling. This was not a safe landing.

“Aha..ha… That was not fun… But if you don’t mind a theory, I can try to give an explanation that makes sense.”

First off, there are inconsistencies in the scene anyway. I’m nowhere near the water at that point, and yet dropped the box with the egg in it. Soo…”

“How could it end up here closer to the water for tantei-kun to see? With only the lid smashed and the egg perfectly fine laying up nice and pretty? You’re right, the frame of my glider was broken from the force of the bullet throwing the balance off, so I couldn’t have made it that far. Also”

“You see here that my monocle completely breaks in two. The frame and glass.”

“But just the glass is broken here. Hmm…”

“And this is what tantei-kun saw after the shot had been fired and my glider destroyed. And the figure moves perfectly steady here.”

“To actually try and explain all of this, I’m just going to use one picture.”

“This. That building there that I’m heading towards is right across from where Scorpion was aiming. You can see the bridge in this shot as well. …Can’t actually see the shooter, but I did later. It’s fairly obvious when there’s a lone figure standing in a completely empty area with no cars or people.

Anyway, that’s what I was gliding over when I was shot. And that’s where I landed. Not nearly as high of a fall, and very easy to survive with minimal damage. Luck? Perhaps, though getting shot at in the first place is never lucky… But from there, everything would have landed fairly close together. The dummy was sent off without anything, to make people think I had fallen somewhere else, and I had my dove take the egg and monocle down. I wish I’d had another method, since she had gotten injured slightly in the fall, but she could glide down safely enough.

So, not nearly as bad as you may think. Basically just got a sprained wrist, which wasn’t the most fun. Better than what could have happened. Most of the time was spent looking into how to get close to the egg again and make sure everyone else could be kept safe. Which led to research into Shiratori-keiji as well. Basically, everything was set up to make Scorpion believe I was dead/missing/injured and not be suspicious.”
