“The hat and monocle work because one: shadows. The show might let you guys see my face, but to the people actually trying to catch me…”
“It ends up looking like this. You don’t see too many recognisable features. Most of the time, when the people try and remember my face, they can’t tell what it looked like. There’s a bit too much action going on to get a clear look and focus on it. But for the second reason… I can get away with a less than perfect covering simply because I’m known as a master of disguise. Even if people did see me, most wouldn’t think it’s my actual face. Only exception might be tantei-kun, since he knows more what I might look like, facially.
Really, just playing with expectations and making people second guess themselves. Still better than just glasses.”
