Dear lord, this hurts my brain...

[candyland]

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

That would be totally awesome!

Maybe Gosho will do something special for Kid's twentieth birthday? Like, I dunno...ANOTHER MANGA VOLUME? *sparkly eyes*

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Omg, someone needs to poke Gosho and remind him that Kaito turns 20 this year. *lolz*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

That would be kind of awesome...he needs to do SOMETHING for it...something with actual story value...maybe Toichi's death? *gg*

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

... ;o;

Why does mention of Toichi's death make me cry out IRL? ;o;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Because when we got to see Toichi and his sexy, sexy voice, we all fell in love with him. So him dying now would be like Heiji getting shot in the head in next week's case.

...or something.

...I could squee for a special about Toichi's death...if there is a twist and if he get a murderer worth of his awesomess. In others words, ANYBODY BUT SNAKE! ^^; XCD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Part of me thinks it would be fairly awesome and sad to see it...but part of me is figuring that it's something that would be better saved for when Gosho (hopefully) goes back to doing MK after DC is finished?

And dude--Snake is possibly the most inept criminal ever to appear in a Gosho series. How the bloody HELL did he kill off Toichi??

[randomaicoholic.livejournal.com]

"How the bloody HELL did he kill off Toichi??"
That's the TRUE mystery in this fandom.

Personnaly, I'm still in denial, trying to imagine that it was vermouth or Gin, and that Snake couldn't admit that he was pawned by a mysterious killer just before to makes his own attempt.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

The only possible explanation is that he caught Toichi somewhere where the poor guy COULDN'T be prepared. Sadly, the only places that come to mind there are shower and toilet. So... *dodges flying bricks*

I'm hoping he'll continue MK after DC ends, and bring in some new characters and really flesh out the admittedly-awesome storyline and characters that he's already got! \o/

...I could have lived WITHOUT this kind of mental image, yunno? XD;

"I'm hoping he'll continue MK after DC ends, and bring in some new characters and really flesh out the admittedly-awesome storyline and characters that he's already got! \o/"
As long he's not scuttling his own boat again with a frozen plot, a waste of good character, a quality of the regular heist decreasing in an eerie manner, etc.... ^^;
Yeah, I'm becoming awfully pessimistic with DC and MK, but hey, like that I wouldn't be too much disapointed if my hopes are crushed by Gosho, and if Gosho pawns me with an awesome end, and, why not, few another story arcs before, I would be more delighted.^^;

The response if that happened would be three words:

BEST THING EVAR.
