Tag: out of cards

(Kaito, this outfit is freakin’ hot. How the heck do you survive?)

“…One, you’re wearing cheap, thick costume material intead of an actual suit. Two, I don’t live in Texas. Three, night, air conditioning, and not walking around constantly.”

(…You defend it, but I know that thing must be burning either way. Especially in summer.)

(Actually, as I’m doing these screenshots…. yes we want the robot for reasons, but we need the underwater pirate one. Why? Because it kills so many things people assume about Kaito. And gives an idea to how he views enemies in general.)

((Just gon’ keep the images big this time, btw.))

(Yes)

(Kaito is still afraid of fish.)

(But he doesn’t want any danger to happen around him just to get rid of them.)

(And not afraid to go interact with them if they can’t bother him.)

(He’s not helpless in the slightest. Sure, a ton of guys with guns is hard to deal with, or a ton of people in general that he might not want to hurt. But even without his card gun, he can defend himself. Look at him, his hands are in his freakin’ pockets here. And note he didn’t kick Silver in the face. He has the skill to, if he can aim so well as to just disarm him, so he probably could be a bit more violent if he wanted. Not saying he’d be excellent at hand to hand, but he should know enough to be able to fight people off.)

(He doesn’t have a problem aiming a real gun at people to use as a threat. Would he kill? No, most likely not. But his finger is on the trigger, so he’s prepared to shoot. If he had to.)

(I’ll admit, I just love this line, or any translation of. True, he has no option but to trust Silver right now, but that he’s confident enough to say it to the person who just tried to kill him and threaten Aoko says a lot. And means he’s capable of trusting even enemies.)

(And he really does need the help. He could do literally nothing due to not having enough air here. He didn’t save them. Or, you could argue he did, for encouraging Silver and saying he trusted him to begin with. But he himself was actually helpless to save them and needed to rely on the other here. How often do we actually get to see Kid not be able to do something on his own. Not to anything at all?)

(But people still wont always go along with him, even after helping. He doesn’t win everyone he meets over completely.)

(And)

(Similar to Conan)

(He can’t always save everyone. He can’t always help. Granted, Conan’s Moonlight Sonata case hit him harder than Silver sending Kid to safety and going down, but it’s still here. Also not as traumatising to Kid as Nightmare is later, but it’s still a good example that he’s not perfect and he doesn’t always win at everything. He tried to get through to Silver and save him, but failed. That it happened later with Nightmare, with the added hit of knowing Kenta, it was probably bigger because something like this would have happened already. They were similar, and Nightmare was far worse.

And I just really have feelings for the older chapters that the animations seem to try and avoid, really…)

(I’m not completely working on icons… kinda… Well, I’m screenshotting while watching videos, not really taking the longer part of editing. But I did have to stop and make one face.)

(Because I like this one. Also, these will take a lot more work to edit than the ones from Detective Conan. Also also…. I hate that shirt. Not sure why I tried doing the pattern instead of just making it a solid colour. V: )

(*looks left* *looks right*

Well, since I know I’m not quite active enough for ghost threads of my own, I’ll just show how my edits would go.)

(I do not recommend it, since it takes a while to try and just select Kaito vs the background to kill the colour. But I does still like it. Closest I could get to making him seem transparent without actually doing that, since real transparency would need me to edit a background behind him. Way too much work. Steal colour, blur, blur edges a lot.)

(…I’ve been seeing that ‘Reblog before June 3rd to get a Pokemon in your inbox’ thing going around… again. I reblogged that last year, and nothing happened, and I checked the OP and their blog is already gone. So… chances of it succeeding are slim, and I say ‘slim’ more because a few people might notice and send friends a Pokemon to make up for it.)

(You know what I find funny? Basically everyone (myself included), likes to have Kaito going up to the rooftop to escape and use his glider, yet in the canon, he’s probably straight up jumped out of windows more often than he’s put in the effort to run up to the roof. :V 

Something I noticed in screenshotting the manga, in the Iron Tanuki (opening the safe to get the dog), the anime puts him outside standing on the roof. The manga literally just has Kaito open a window and hop out.

We need to do this more.)

(Current status: 83 icons edited out of 203. 203 being the final count going through all of his appearances in DC, nothing from MK thus far. :V 

Much as I like making icons and edits, I think I may have a slight problem. On the plus side, it’s fairly calming, even if I’m not really stressed right now. I’m doing basically the same thing I did with that one Hakuba icon I made, taking ones that even have characters or text bubbles on part of him and editing it out to make it like it never existed. Liiikeee….)

(This. Or…)

(Hmm…. Some areas look slightly off, but I think it’s worth it to get some of the faces.)

(Okay, one more post before I sleep.)

(Because I never really notice reading the first time that there are flashes of his glider cape setup aside from what we see when he’s in the air. :V  (Only gone through DC appearances right now since it was faster.))

(Freakin’…. I would have been fine not realising we didn’t get this in either version of the Teleportation heist. Because Now I want to see Kid grinning like that while falling backwards off a building in the anime too… And no, that one scene from Movie 8 when he gets out of the plane doesn’t count.)

(This was the closest his face got to the manga scene from the DC anime. The want is strong…)
