#detective conan
The under-utilization of the Magic Kaito quartet in DCMK fanfiction saddens me. They have suchamazing potential, like, there’s a genius detective with powerful connections in the police force, one of the world’s flashiest and most renowned thieves (also a disguise master), an exponentially powerful sorceress, and possibly the only person who can sit the former three down for club activities without inciting a riot. Slam them together and launch them into the path of fighting crime – they’ll be SPECTACULAR. (And hilarious, but that goes without saying.) It’ll be like teenage Leverage but against Murderous Syndicates. Canon’s already given a great foundation for these dumbasses; they’re in the same class; the bonding interactions JUST MAKE THEMSELVES. So why can I only find like 1.5 fics with anything near this premise????? Tragiqueeeee.
Kaito: Did your dad ever like, beat you?
Shinichi: No, he never hit me. My dad is a respected mystery novelist and he was a renowned detective worldwide.
Shinichi:So he would pick me apart psychologically instead.
Finally watching Lupin season two and… something feels familiar.
kaitou kid as a concept is so funny like he barely commits crimes. he’s a criminal but rlly only in one of the tamest senses of the word. he returns everything he steals? but then he’s still breaking and entering and stealing things and they cant just have this magician kid in white strutting around stealing valuable objects even if he does return them later. so theyre like “ig we do need catch him (?)”
but then they have a whole task force dedicated to catching him?? like people’s entire jobs are dedicated to piecing together how and when he’s going to not-steal something and stop him from not-stealing it when he’s gonna return it literally the next week. and multiple genius detectives have made him their rival and started attending heists for the sole purpose of catching him. like bro. first of all this isnt a detective case this is a wild goose chase. u arent gonna detective ur way into catching a hyperactive teen with a hang glider. second of all ur a genius detective and this is what u choose to do with ur time and energy?? catch a ‘criminal’ whose only real damage done to society is making a billionaire sweat that theyve lost a total 0.0001% of their net worth before ultimately returning it? like rlly kaitou kid is only an elaborate, somewhat rule breaking prankster. and yet the state of japan wastes so much manpower trying to stop an ultimately harmless figure. like xjgnsmjfk
and then. better yet. theyve literally never been able to catch him. like not even close. at a certain point u need to admit that this aint even close to worth the resources even if u do manage to catch him. its like a full SWAT team going out decked out with hazmat suits and guns and running a whole military operation to corner a pigeon who’s shitting on public property. who then just ends up flying away. and every time the pigeon comes back they roll out again with the whole getup.
personally i just think the kuroba’s taunt level is that high. like whenever kaitou kid comes on everyone he comes into contact with either turns into a fan or hates him with burning passion. so theyre all like, fuck this guy in particular. we need to catch him

Haneda Shuukichi: Hey Furuya-san! Wanna play shogi with me?
Furuya Rei: …Sure?
Haneda Shuukichi: Want to make a bet as well?
Furuya Rei: Wouldn’t that be an unfair bet for someone who isn’t a pro shogi player?
Haneda Shuukichi: Come now come now shogi is for everyone~ ^_^
Furuya Rei: No thank you~ ^_^
Haneda Shuukichi: Hm…I didn’t imagine you would be a coward~
Furuya Rei: I’m simply not someone who is interested in making false promises.
Haneda Shuukichi: Hm, what if I told you the conditions of the bet then?
Furuya Rei:…
Haneda Shuukichi: If I win you and my brother will have an honest adult conversation about your issues with each toher without attempting to murder each other-
Furuya Rei:Hah.
Haneda Shuukichi: And if I lose, then I won’t mention the sexual tension between you and my brother ever again.
Furuya Rei:…
Haneda Shuukichi: What do you say?
Furuya Rei: If you lose Masumi Sera will stop talking about it along with you.
Haneda Shuukichi: I’m sure I can reach an agreement with her.
Furuya Rei: Deal.

Akai Shuuichi: Let me guess, you lost a bet against my brother.
Furuya Rei: *raises an eyebrow*
Akai Shuuichi: It’s the only reason I can think of as to why you’re not pulling a gun on me at the moment.
