magic kaito – Page 12 – Moonlight Archive

(…Kaito has a great and terrible power that really… Umm… Oh dear lord.)

(So… I’m actually going through and re-reading the manga this time rather than just skimming (and over-analyzing everything, but there will probably be more posts on those later) and… Kid be a scary figure to think about, actually. I’ve said and will always say that Kaito became Kid for revenge and it’s been shown before that he doesn’t take kindly to people using his name to blame him for crimes he didn’t do… But whether he completely destroys what you had and/or gets you arrested… or helps you out is completely dependent on how he feels about the person.

Now, about this power… that would have to be…

Well… having the skills and natural ability to do practically anything he wants. Resources, acting, general manipulation, magic… Gab mentioned in Skype once that my Spider is like an evil, hardcore Kid. Well… that might just be a bit more true than I considered. He got a lot of Kid’s… more… ‘evil’ traits that were more evident in the early manga chapters. I realise the beginning made practically all the main cast look like jerks…)

(And can never know if it’s just because of how it was translated, I’m aware, but…)

(I think people are aware that Kid is dangerous. I mean, if the department store thing was enough of a giveaway…)

(…Yes, I know he was acting in this one… I think… Honestly, given his experience with robots, he might not have been as much as he looked like he was later… But just even that he could immediately come up with this plan and act on it when he figured out what was causing him the trouble is a bit telling to how his mind works. Destroy a building, let a guy jump out a window from the fourth floor, let that mofo standing on top of a train have and up close and personal meeting with brick and cement. And those lesser guys can just get arrested, sure.

‘Cept you.

No, you get to explode.

Yes.

Now, Kaito’s a nice guy, for all that he’s an ass sometimes. Be kind or neutral, and he’ll act in kind. If he likes you, he’ll actively…

cheer you up

encourage you

or even take a hit to the name Kid itself, if he has reason to. Failing to steal aside, the ‘returning what he steals’ thing has been set aside too, in the Golden Eye. He has patterns, but surprisingly no real rules for what he will and will not do, for all that the fandom (myself included) would say otherwise. He quite literally does what he wants, and if the rules are in the way, screw ’em. (…Actually, no, my Kaito is still like this, just he’s more friendly in general and less of a jerk than canon Kaito. Seriously, get on his bad side, and he will take you down.He does try to find redeeming qualities most of the time, but seriously, don’t push him.)

…Aren’t we lucky he’s a good guy?

But he’s a very serious threat. He has means to do practically anything (within limits, of course, else Snake and Pandora wouldn’t be as much a problem), and he’s excellent at getting people to react the way he wants. Love him, hate him, trust him, get angry at him, be afraid of him, get overconfident, think you’ve won, believe you’re at the end of your rope, know when to tell the truth and when to lie, getting others to help him unknowingly… He’s done all of these, most of them on purpose, a few times on accident, but he also can think quickly enough to pull it around to his favour anyway.)

(…And I’ll be honest and say the 19th movie trailers never even came to mind while I was thinking this. Yeah, he’s insane in that, for whatever reason… And I still don’t think canon Kaito would go that far under normal circumstances… But just imagine how bad he would have been if he’d gone full criminal, instead of being the overall nice, if oftentimes annoying, magician we know and love.

…Does make me appreciate the fact that Nakamori-keibu and Hakuba can still hold their beliefs that Kid wouldn’t be a murderer, though. Because he be scary sometimes… even if they’re very right he wouldn’t go that far. Minor physical damage, possibly broken bones, that one incident with a taser and a certain chibi… But nothing so permanent as death. To people. And more than likely animals. Just not inorganic things, I suppose.)

(Warning: Mun being a huge dork ahead~)

(Ok, so, my mom apparently ordered a Christmas gift, knowing it wasn’t going to get here in time. So I come down from my domain above everyo- I mean, the upstairs one day to go to work, and she tells me I have another present to open, but I’d have to wait until my dad could see me open it. (Because he’d already gone to bed, and night shift sucks when interacting with family.) So, I was a little curious, but not too much, because there’d been issues with some of the other ordered gifts in getting here late or near late.

…Well, she certainly got the best reaction out of me she could possibly get out of a surprise gift. Namely…)

(…Very, very wide, uncontrolled grin that wouldn’t go away for a while. Definitely not what I expected, at all, though they do know my love of Kid due to the white suit with a cape and the top hat. And the card gun.)

(Yes, this card gun. And though I was mildly disappointed in the makers for getting the colours wrong in general on the monocle (since that can be fixed later)… There is something I’m stupidly happy over…)

(‘Cause see here?)

(Hmmmmmm? Yes~ LAZZZZAAA POINT!~)

(Now I can feel like a thief while messing around with the cats who’ve taken to stopping by upstairs~ (To clarify, we had three. This one’s my brother’s, and one who comes up and sits on my arms while I type on the computer is my mom’s.))

(And now that I have an actual monocle, I feel somewhat more official. Just can’t pose for the life of me.)

(And my dork level has gone up a few times with this.)

(Possibly too far…)

(…Maybe.)

(~~Look I can even make ribbon roses, now all I need is to be able to do actual magic and I’m set~~)

(Oh dear lord. I glanced through the Star War chapter of Magic Kaito again and… I definitely need to refresh myself on the manga. I thought I had a pretty good memory for the chapters that haven’t been animated yet, but…

Kaito, what?

What are you even??

What?? Why didn’t I remember him blowing up the tree and making fall and crush the building owned by the person trying to misuse Kid’s name to profit? I know he doesn’t actually have a no one gets hurt policy and that he was more reckless in the earlier chapters, and that store may have been empty, but… damn… Kai there were people very close to the tree… And while I could be convinced no one was in the building (possibly, because Christmas), doesn’t mean people weren’t in front of the store…

…As it is MK, I assume no one was severely injured or killed, but…

Not so strange he’d be dangerous as a psycho now, is it? This is what he does without actively trying to harm people…)

“A magic trick by Mother Nature.”

“…Do I even want to know what’s going on here?”

I will not fall.

I will not fade.

I will take your breath away…

(So…yeah. This is what happens when I’m assigned to basically sit around at work for seven hours, and I happen to have a mechanical pencil and some paper.)
