Dear lord, this hurts my brain...

Okay, a lot of my fellow DC/MK-ers know that an easy way to describe Kaitou Kid's look is that (clothing-wise) he looks like Tuxedo Mask. Most anime/manga fans have at least heard of Sailor Moon, so it's an easy comparison to draw.

Well...I was chatting with jeva_chan, and we got on the topic of Sailor Moon. It was our first anime, as is the case with many people. And we touched on the fact that Tuxedo Mask and Kaitou Kid are easy to compare in terms of clothing.

Jeva also said that the use of roses was creative ^^

And then...

candy__chan: ...here's a question: who came first? Tuxedo Mask or Kaitou Kid?
jeva_chan: ...
jeva_chan: ow
candy__chan: *runs to Wikipedia*
jeva_chan: why you gotta hurt my brain with that question
candy__chan: XDD
jeva_chan: I'll lolz if Kid came first
candy__chan: I'm looking it up.
candy__chan: If Kid came first...then it's backwards.
jeva_chan: aahahaha
candy__chan: Kid was created a LONG time ago, though--he was created before Detective Conan and Yaiba both. And Conan has been running for...thirteen years?
jeva_chan: woooooooow
jeva_chan: our fandoms are SOOLD
candy__chan: ...oh my god...
candy__chan: Are you ready for this?
jeva_chan: ....
jeva_chan: oh gof
jeva_chan: god*



jeva_chan: Kid came first, didn't he?
candy__chan: The original Sailor Moon manga started in 1992.
jeva_chan: *covers face*
candy__chan: Magic Kaito first appeared in 1988.
jeva_chan: OMG
jeva_chan: *dies laughing*
candy__chan: TUXEDO MASK IS A RIPOFF OF KAITOU KID!!
jeva_chan: AND YET KID IS LESS OF A DORK
candy__chan: ...does anyone else think this calls for an LJ post?


Every once in a while I have one of these moments. I like to call them genius. But I'm delusional.



Wow...our fandom isn't that much younger than I am XD
