[Case Closed] What did people reading in real-time think when a character from the author’s series from nearly 10 years ago suddenly appeared?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

I thought it looked lame with that outdated outfit.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx48

1412 will not become a kid.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Since I’m caught between the blades, there are fewer things I’ve remembered.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I thought that Doi Toukatsuki was the foolish one.

Don’t imply it.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Linking to one’s past works is something that every manga artist likely admires.

Recently, there was a similar thing happening in a manga that parodied SPC on Jump+, but it was too minor to really become a topic of conversation.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx31

I thought, since I didn’t know about the previous series, that there would be a stereotypical phantom thief.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I just learned the origin of the name.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

When the YAIBA characters appeared, it was a huge excitement.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I was happy because I quietly liked Katoblepas’ eyes.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

In a world where famous high school detectives are everywhere, it’s strange that there aren’t any phantom thieves.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

Until the part in the thread image, he was only referred to as “Phantom Thief No. 1412” or “that guy,” but on the last page, he called out for someone… “Phantom Thief Kid!” So I think dedicated fans must have been extremely excited.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fire Force…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was quite happy because I liked Kaito Kid.

I was like, “Can we connect this to the story of Pandora…?” and I didn’t think it was still ongoing.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

I entered Conan through YAIBA and magic Kaito.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bringing back characters from past works often feels like a guest appearance.

It’s often about blending in among a large crowd or just being in the corner of a frame for a brief moment.

It feels rare to have a pattern where the protagonist is deeply involved in the main story like in the thread image.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

Phantom Thief Kid was such an old work, huh…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If we’re talking about recent examples, isn’t it the case that Zaiku Axes and Sharia Bull or Char have appeared?

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The first Kid was too cool, and the recent Kid is more aligned with the original character of Magic Kaito, but it’s funny to see people getting upset about “interpretation differences.”

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought that Kid resembles Shinichi because he is a relative or something like that.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

(The face remembering whether the star system is really connected or not.)

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how connecting with YAIBA works in terms of reality line…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was a star system, but it’s fully featured.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the star system used that much in works other than Tezuka’s?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

I guess there was a feeling of wanting to draw something other than Conan, so I can’t complain…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

In fact, older manga often have many links like this.

What’s lacking in recent manga is that some works have become prolonged, leading to fewer opportunities.

It might be because the worldview itself has its own individuality, making it difficult to share.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Arale-chan appeared in Dragon Ball too, didn’t she?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was surprised to see the trend of X suddenly featuring the catoblepas.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kengan’s Kuruishi and Uncle Narushima are also characters from the author’s past works.

The Fist of Seeking the Way is so minor that it’s thought to be a character from Kengan.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Blade is here, but there’s a game of Yaiba in that world.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Kon-senpai series, which appears in Masakazu Ishiguro’s “Sore Town” with Kon Futaba, “Nemuru Baka” with Luka Kuroi, and “Thursday’s Furutto” with Senpai Kuroi, features the same character design but all are different individuals, representing a type of star system.

Actually, it would be funny if Nemurubaka’s Rui and Flutto’s Senpai were the same person.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I didn’t even know that Kid is a character from another manga.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There’s a hockey manga currently being serialized that has a lot of things I just saw in an Ainu manga.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

FromSoftware game patches, etc…

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

There are cases where it’s difficult to determine whether it’s a star system or just a lack of distinction in the character designs.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I had read Yaiba, but I didn’t know about this one.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many benefits, like promoting old works and releasing new merchandise for old characters…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It becomes troublesome when there are people who stubbornly insist that it’s the same world.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I would be happy if Type-Moon did this.

Gaaah! You are Ryogi Kanya!

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If the early Conan were connected to YAIBA, it would only feel out of place.

Since guys who can dodge bullets and crush trucks with their bare hands have appeared, it doesn’t feel out of place anymore compared to YAIBA.

In other words, most YAIBA characters are only strong because of their weapons, and their actual combat power is inferior to that of Conan characters.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In Satanophany, guest characters from past works showcase erotic scenes.

There is an excitement that is hard to experience.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of Conan, if the realism line drops too much, it could lead to a situation where the victims are too weak and end up dying.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seeing glimpses of what happens after that past work is incredibly exhilarating.

It’s like, “I’ve become a teacher!!!”

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Love gets complicated.

Well, I mean Cap.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are things like Witch Watch and Sket Dance.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Takayoshi Yamaguchi often uses the star system.

In early works, there are some complicated parts because themes are reused.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Dad knows that his brother is a phantom thief.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Based on the perspective of the public match, Hattori is strong.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Is it really that long ago?! I felt that way when Lilo, who became a mother, appeared in the Stitch Okinawa edition.”

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Magic Kaito only has 2 volumes published, and I thought it’s tough for a phantom thief story.

“Yoshihisa Tagami’s ‘Narubasu Break Down’, which is like a sequel to a detective story, also ended after two volumes as a heist story.”

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, there’s Gang Orca and so on.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

YAIBA → Magic Kaito → Short Stories → I Was Conan

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think there was an erotic cat burglar story that continued for quite a while in Young Animal, yes, it was Mouse, the Rat Kid.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

(I wonder if Conan has also become completely messed up with the Japanese islands turned upside down…)

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking back now, I realize that the thread picture was named by Kudo Yusaku for Kuroba Toichi.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Arale-chan also appeared in Dragon Ball, after all.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not that things like cat burglars are unsuccessful or difficult, considering there are stories like Cat’s Eye.

Simply put, there aren’t that many.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a genetic word.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was an image from when I was guest performing now and then, but now I’m deeply involved in the main storyline.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Conan was just made more realistic by the time of the thread’s image; the realism line at the beginning was roughly in the Yaiba world.

Thanks to making it more realistic, I was able to give Phantom Thief Kid a more realistic development in the thread image.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

The one who named you is your father, so that makes him your younger brother.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, it seems that Magic Kaito is not canceled and is still being treated as ongoing…

What about this ending compared to Conan’s?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, there’s been talk about Osaka becoming a teacher.

Personally, I want all of the author’s works to be connected, just like in the world of Kengan Ashura.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know what kind of numbering system this is, but are there really that many thieves up to 1412?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have the impression that slice-of-life manga often have interconnected worlds.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of raw ability, Hattori is on par with or surpasses the Blade, according to the bug table.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there someone who can hit a home run with money in their pocket in Conan?

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

But I’m alwayswetting the older sisters’ legs.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything, it would be fine for the Black Organization to be Kid’s enemy too.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like when a whale appeared in My Hero Academia.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, Saemon-kun appeared in the Ultra Tour, but I thought it was just barely acceptable in terms of recognition for the previous work’s protagonist.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just remembered that the number 4 third baseman was also out there.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Huh, is Kid a character from a past work?

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both the face and the voice are the same.

They were really relatives.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fans of Magic Kaito should definitely check out the five-pointed star worth a million dollars.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that Shinichi and Kid look similar because they are relatives.

Why do Ran and Aoko look similar?

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When I watched Magic Kaito from this side, I was surprised to see magic appear.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before reading, I didn’t even know that the setting of Yaiba was Japan.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the author of my favorite manga does a scene like this in their next work, it would be really fun, but I wonder if I’ll be a bit guarded, thinking it might be in the same world since it’s not a modern setting.
