Kid and Conan: The Unsolved Mystery
So, I recently stumbled upon a fascinating discussion about the relationship between Kid the Phantom Thief and Conan Edogawa. You know, that classic
back-and-forth banter they have? It’s like a game of cat and mouse, or should I say, thief and detective. The question on everyone’s mind is whether there’s ever a moment in the series where Kid discovers Conan’s true identity. Well, as it turns out, the answer is a bit of a mixed bag! Fans have been asking this question for ages, and the author has given some pretty vague responses. It’s like he’s playing a little game of his own—“Maybe he found out? Who knows?” It’s almost like he’s teasing us, keeping that mystery alive. I can imagine him chuckling to himself while reading all these fan theories, thinking, “I love how they’re trying to piece it together!” Now, there’s the “Kijutsu Aikouka Satsujin Jiken” episode, where there’s a lot of suspense, but nothing concrete about Kid knowing Conan’s secret. It’s such a classic setup; you’re on the edge of your seat, waiting for that big revelation, but alas, it doesn’t come. I mean, it would have been hilarious if they had a moment where Kid just nonchalantly drops, “By the way, you’re actually Shinichi, right?” and Conan just freezes in panic. Can you imagine the look on Conan’s face? Priceless! Then there’s the movie “Seikimatsu no Majutsushi.” That’s where it becomes a bit clearer that Kid does know who Conan is, but we never really get the backstory on how he found out. It’s like they threw us a bone but kept it just out of reach! It leaves you wondering—was it a clever deduction? Did he just magically guess? I’d love to see a little flashback scene of Kid piecing together clues. This whole mystery reminds me of those moments in life when you think you’ve figured something out, only to realize you’re completely off base. Like that time I was sure my son had hidden his favorite toy somewhere in the house, and I turned the place upside down looking for it, only to find it right in front of me where I’d looked a dozen times. Kids, right? They really keep you on your toes! Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you had any similar experiences with mysteries in shows or even in real life? Share your stories or any theories in the comments! Let’s keep the chatter going!
