(Talking of over-thinking, though… How many of you noticed I used the prototype Kaito in this post? Or knew of him? I’m sure many who’ve looked into MK have, but I included him there for a reason. Obviously, his story was from a one shot, but since he, Aoko, and Ginzo exist in it, what if… if could be an alternate timeline? Not just one without Kid – if you wanted him to not exist at all, though it is possible, though Kaito himself isn’t the thief – but… well, Toichi is alive? I mean… Aoko’s mom exists in the story, for one. And she clearly doesn’t in Magic Kaito. Kaito isn’t a jewel thief, just a general troublemaker magician, acting like a jerk even more than in MK, but still has a gentle heart, for the most part. Just for that, I wonder if Toichi exists for that Kaito, whether he’s Kid or not. Either that or he lives alone entirely. I know Lupin’s story isn’t technically supposed to be connected to MK directly, but it’s interesting to think about. Alternate timeline or something a bit further than just the parallel universes the other Kaito’s fall into for RP.)
