If You Can't Outsmart Your Opponent, The Only Option Left Is To Outstupid Them.

If you can't outsmart your opponent, the only option left is to outstupid them.

— Kuroba Kaito, at some point

It's a pity in japan they don't do trick or treat bc I can imagine they'd do something insane like, making a a giant booby trapped net around the house's perimeter that looks like spider webs and dropping down from above dressed as giant spiders when a trick-o-treater gets stuck in it, or something. But you know what Kaitou Kid was an *international* criminal so hey, who can say he didn't do a heist in America around Halloween? No one, that's who. Also bringing Chikage and Kaito with him everywhere bc he loves them and bc if he misses any of Kaito's milestones (magic and thieving included) he will DIE and bc the police would be looking for a guy travelling alone, not for a family of 3 with an actual child who couldn't possibly be an accomplice (jokes on them Kaito makes the BEST accomplice even if he doesn't exactly know what he's accomplicing)

Dyou think they purposefully got a house next to the Nakamoris and then left Kaito in his care once things got dangerous? BC Nakamori Toichi can say with 1000% certainty is squeaky clean and subtle as a punch to the face and LOUD so ppl would notice if he got dissappeared, or alternatively kick up HELL and rally the police if anything at all happened to Kaito?

THEY TOTALLY WOULD. AND THEY WOULD HAVE THE BEST HALLOWEEN DECOR, OMG…. all of the ways they could make it look like ghosts are making things float/tossing them around… playing recordings of them saying things in spooky voices… improbable jumpscares… honestly if they really wanted to go full smoke and mirrors they could just Have ghosts. it would be awesome.

YOURE SO RIGHT. there are many benefits to being an international thief >:D they’d totally do themed family costumes. also the idea of toichi bringing chikage and kaito everywhere with him has me breaking down, actually. kaito breaks open his first safe right after a heist in austria and toichi is so busy celebrating this with his wife and child that he gets completely skipped over as a suspect

omg… nakamori being ENTIRELY distracted by the fact that 5yo kaito has a new magic trick to show him RIGHT NOW and it’s REALLY IMPORTANT (toichi has stolen the jewel) and it has to be NOW because nakamori is always busy (toichi is halfway to the roof) but now that he’s HERE nakamori can finally watch the trick and he can see how cool magic is (toichi is back in plainclothes and is walking in to pick kaito up)

and as for the neighbor thing, HONESTLY I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED. clearly chikage trusts nakamori to look after her son, which is a huge compliment especially from a former thief—I feel like trust issues come with the job. all of the kurobas have/had a lot of faith in his morality, which says a lot about his (sometimes dubious) character that we don’t explicitly see in the story. I wonder how he proved himself to them so thoroughly?? maybe it was smth like he saved kaito from someone gunning for Kid really early on, back when actual danger during heists was rare, and thus he accidentally earned the undying respect of two phantom thieves, lol. plus I bet kaito came home after the clock tower meeting rambling about his new best friend aoko, and toichi and chikage were like. Well We Were in the Market For a New House Anyway…

Hey hey. Hey look behind you

LIFE IT NEVER DIE

i personally think shinichi thanks god (shiho miyano) every day that kaito doesn't use his weird magician powers to tease him about his huge crush on ran constantly. just my opinion

Tim finds a wierd bird and nurses it back to health. He has no idea what this bird was but it was gray and orange and refused to eat anything other than fresh fruit.

The internet was no help and he couldn't find anything that suggested it even existed. A few days later Damian tried to adopt the bird and it basically gave him the cold shoulder. Tim swears the bird understands human speech and teaches it to answer yes or no questions by hoping up and down for yes and side to side for no.

This bird just would not leave him alone. It accompanied him on patrol as Red Robin and Tim had to hide it in his pocket at work. Thankfully, it was small. RR winds up getting hurt and this little ball of feathers loses its freaking mind. It attacks Tim's opponent with fire from its wings and now the entire batfam thinks this is some sort of baby phoenix.

The fletchling in question is just wondering why there's no other pokemon in this city and what was that swirly green place with all the purple doors? And who's that white haired kid who keeps trying to sneakily capture it to "take it home"? Doesn't he know that I have a trainer now? This is my home >:[
