-Hey, did ya hear about the Kaitou Kid?
-Yeah, yeah!
-Isn't he cool~?
-Yo, Kaito.
-Ah! Kuroba-kun!
-Morning, Kaito-kun!
-Hey, Aoko! Did you see today's news?
-Oh, about Kaitou Kid?
-KYAAA!

-Huh?!
009
-Scattered showers...?
-kukuku
-Make sure to stay dry, mhmhm!!
-Kaito...!!
-I'm gonna kick your dear little...!!
[T/N:
Instead of using a suffix like -kun, Aoko addresses Kaito as "anata",
which literally translates to "you" but is commonly reserved for
conversations between husband and wife.]
010
-Hold up!!
-Be careful about calling me "dear"!!
-I don't want everyone else to think we're married!
-...Married!?
-I'M the one who doesn't want that!!
-C-chill out, Aoko!!
-Hello? Class has started...
-Who
gave you permission to call me that!? (T/N - Addressing a person with
no suffix is informal: it means the two people are close.)
-I don't want anyone to think we're dating!!
-So what?!
-KUROBA KAITO!
-Solve this equation right now!!
011
sfx bubble: Ka-ching

bubble: tweet tweet
-Then how about this equation?! Your turn, Nakamori Aoko!!
012
-(t/n - already there. take out the "desu")
-Who said you can look at my panties?!?
-Correct...
-You're the one who fell for my trick!
-Well, not that there's a person alive who wouldn't! Haha!
-Oh, really?
-Even you couldn't beat the Kaitou Kid!!
-Kaitou Kid?!
-He's the thief who uses magic!
-You haven't heard?!
013
-Hmph
sfx - woah woah woah!!
-Oops
bubble: pop
-So you finally decided to come down!!
-N-No!! I'm not Kaito!!
-Oh really?
-You think you've fooled me with those glasses?
-Stupid tricks like that won't work on me!
-You'd never measure up to the Kaitou Kid!!
smaller: Knock it off already, you two!!
-Oh, so my tricks are stupid, you say?
014
-Fine.
-I'll take him on!
-Kaito put this mask over my head!!
-Oh, Yamada-kun... it was you?
-Sit down, right this--
-Teacher! I, Kuroba Kaito,
-will now be taking my leave.
-&#@%
-I'll catch him myself!!
sfx's - keh keh keh
teacher: ehe!
-teacher: clap clap
-teacher speech: He's so talented!
-Who's he fooling, trying to act all cool?
-He'll never win.
-Even Dad
-hasn't been able to catch him yet.
015
-Inspector!!
-Inspector Nakamori!!
black sfx bubble: flick
-There's been a murder around Yon-Choume.
sfx bubble: sss sss
-Ow!! Burned my hand!!
-This is no time to be watching TV!!
-SHADDAP!! All I care about is the Kaitou Kid!
sfx bubble: sss sss
-Catching him is what I live for!!
tv: Rumored to be dead for some time, he's finally made a comeback after 8 years
-B-But it's a MURDER!!
-I knew you were alive! fufufu
-You've kept me waiting for eight years!!
016
-And now, a message from the Kaitou Kid himself!!
-'I will steal the "moonlight eye" at 11:54pm tonight!!'
-I'm gonna corner that mangy crook!!
-And then,
-Hello? Murder?
-Where are you looking??
-arrest him!!
-Just who is this Kaitou Kid?!
-From 8 years ago, huh?
-That's when my old man kicked the bucket.
-You can't beat
-the Kaitou Kid!!
-What does she know?
017
-I had the best teacher in the whole world.
-He was one of a kind.
-Kuroba Touichi...
-My father.
sfx bubble: pop
black: pop
-Hm? Seems to be...
-...one more in there!
sfx bubble: Kweh!
-Kya!! Ha ha
-Hehe, you know that's my Dad up there.
-Aoko knows that!! (T/N - Aoko speaks in the third person.)
018
-Gotcha!
-Don't tease the ladies!
-Sorry to keep you waiting.
-That was a splendid performance!
-Kaito.
-Do you know what a poker face is?
-Po-ker-fa-ce...?
-It means that
-whether you get a good card...
-or a bad one...
-you can't show it, no matter what.
sfx bubble - Gah!
-Wow...!
-Magic is the same.
-Even if your tricks fail...
-Po-ker-fa-ce!!
-CALL!!
-You should never show that to your audience.
019
-Kaito... no matter what comes your way,
-never forget your poker face!
-Dad...
sfx bubble: flip...
-Oh!!
-Uwah!!
020
sfx bubble: flutter
-Excuse me~!
-Is Kaito-kun here?
-Oh, if it isn't Aoko.
-I came to bring his bag.
-He left it at school.
-Kaito's up on the second floor!
-There's been this strange noise for some time now...
-Maybe it's mice?
-Don't tell me...
021
-Wh-Where is this??
-Hello, Kaito, it's been a while.
-It's Dad's voice!
-My true identity... I... Kai... Ki... and...
-What's wrong, Aoko-chan?
-You don't seem well!
-Make sure to stay dry!! (small left of the bubble:) kekeke
-Please do me the favor of a lifetime!!
-Tell me, what is Kaito-kun's greatest weakness??
-Weakness?
-Well, there is one thing he really hates...
-I need to know!!
-WHAT!? Something this delicious?!
-I thought I could make him try it today,
-so I went ahead and bought it.
022
-I would have never guessed he hated that...
-Hehehe... Kaito... hohoho...
-Uwa... the tape's all tangled up!!
-Well, it is eight years old.
-Kaito...
-The time has finally come
-for you to know...
-W-What!?
023
-A mantle and a silk hat??
-This looks just like...
-He wears a mantle and a silk hat!!
-Remember the Kaitou Kid's appearance well!!
-It's been so long... I'm all fired up!! fufufu
-UWAHAHAHAHA
-Just what was my dad doing...?
-Maybe if I meet that guy, I'll find out.
024
sfx: flap
sfx: pop
sfx: snap
-This panel was designed to open after eight years.
-So that makes it Kuroba Touichi's final trick, basically...
-All right, Dad.
-I'm gonna discover
-the secret behind your magic!
025
-There are only seconds left, gentlemen!
-Everyone, stay sharp!
-8 seconds!
-7
-6
-5
(already filled in here)
-ZERO!!
026
-The emergency lights!
-Get the emergency lights on NOW!!
-W-What are you doing...!?
-It's the Kaitou Kid!!
-What?!
-It's him!
-No doubt about it!
-He's returned!
-AFTER HIM!!
027
-He jumped down!
-Fufufu, you fool!
-It's crawling with cops down there!
-Inspector Nakamori!!
-This is just a dummy!
-WHAT?!
-Where did he go!?
-He's probably still in the building!
-Search every room!
028
-WOAH!
-Dropping a dummy while the real you climbs to the top...
-That's an old trick!
-W-Who are you?!?
-You're a shame to the Kaitou name!
029
-I've been waiting for you, Kaitou Kid!
-Wait, I'm certain he made it outside...
-Inspector, he's nowhere to be found!
-Shall we set up a defensive line?
-Then that means he can only be...
-Fine, then behold my magic!
-Can you see through this!?
030
-Cool it, Kaito.
-No matter what comes your way, you have to keep your poker face!
-Well?
-My body's gone!
-Ha ha ha, what a kid's trick.
-Don't make me laugh.
-What!?
-I got it!
-Take this!!
031
-Ungh!!
-pop
-You've attached mirrors to your entire body, reflecting the surrounding scenery,
-which makes it appear as if your body disappeared completely.
032
-It's one of the basics of magic!
-T-Then you're...!
-T-Touichi Kaitou!?
-Y-You're alive!?
-HUH?
sfx: grab
-It's been so long!!
-Why's he know Dad's name?
-Huh? Have I met this old man before?
-It's me, your faithful attendant Jii!
-Have you forgotten about me in these past eight years!?
-Jii-chan!?
(T/N - Kind of a joke. Jii-chan means Grandpa, and that's also how you
refer to older strangers. So Kaito was calling him that already in his
head.)
033
-Ever since that show eight years ago, I thought you were dead for certain!
-I've been so worried all this time!
-That's why I decided to don your costume, Master Touichi.
-Because I thought I could lure out your murderers!
-What do you mean, my Dad was murdered?!
-Who!! Who did it?!
-Young Kaito?
-I have one more question.
-Please answer me honestly.
-Was he a thief?
034
-Was my dad
-the real Kaitou Kid?
-Call the choppers!
-Hurry!!
-The only place left is the roof!
-Keep moving!!
035
-Yes...
-I see...
-Master Touichi... Forgive me for telling him the secret you wanted me to keep for life...
-I found you, Kaitou Kid!
-Oh, no!!
-I'll bait them, so get out of here, Jii-chan!
-But what about you, Young Master?
-I'm no Young Master!
036
-I'm the Kaitou Kid!!
-Young Master!
-Get him!!
-You're not getting away!!
-Stop!!
-Jii-chan, now's your chance.
-He's gone?!
037
-He appeared again!
-Kaitou Kid?
-He's so cool!
-So this is the 400 million yen "moonlight eye"?
-Good morning, Kaito...
-Hey, Aoko.
-fufu...
-I've got something to show you~...
-Something you'll love!
-A FISH!!
-See??
sfx bubble: gulp
-Ahhh!!
-The moonlight eye!!
-W-What are you doing?!
-You can't bring a fish to school!!
-I was going to cook for Dad today.
-Hmph. I thought he was going to fight the Kaitou Kid yesterday...
038
-Why you...!
-Take this!!
-What are you doing!?
-Do you know just how much this fish is worth?!
-Yeah, actually.
-400 million yen!
-For real??
-No way...
