Magic Kaitou 1412 [04] A Great Detective Steps Into The Light

Lasted for 23 minutes 49 seconds, the show starts by introducing a young, blond detective with catchphrase: “The truth will always come to light”.

Hakuba Saguru

             Kaitou spies on the police, intending to steal the painting, Adam’s Smile but was caught by surprise when Aoko suddenly shows up saying he’s the culprit. Aoko then laughed at the boy, telling him about a famous foreign detective from London. They were apparently at an ice skating rink next to the museum Kaitou intend to steal from. He was then taken back to a conversation with Jii regarding a hidden jewel behind the abstract painting Adam’s Smile. 

             Meanwhile at the museum, the said foreign detective introduces himself as Hakuba Saguru, a detective, as well as the son of Superintendent Hakuba. The young detective then bombarded questions to Inspector Nakamori as a show to belittle the inspector’s skill and consistent failures. Kaitou on the other hand have disguised himself as a police officer and successfully infiltrated the museum. However, Hakuba found out about it while patrolling the area. 

           While getting the painting, Hakuba came upon Kid, noting to him that he was 13 seconds late. Hakuba also cut off Kid’s mean of escaping, sure of his victory against the thief. Kid then flashily told him that secret is a magician’s life and it is impossible for Hakuba to unravel his tricks that easily. Kid then escape out the window with his glider, although the strong wind worked against him. Kid managed to escape but Hakuba got the data he needed.

             The next day at school, Hakuba shows up in Kaitou’s class as a transfer student. Back in Blue Parrot, Kaitou was dejected that the jewel is not the one he was looking for. Even so, he continues to plan for the next jewel to steal. At school, Aoko flaunted her win of two tickets to a concert. She was going to invite Kaitou, but his non-interest in it angered her and it was then that Hakuba enters the scene, barging his way to be invited by Aoko if he could stop Kid from stealing a jewel that night. 

             The unofficial challenged was accepted by Kaitou, claiming that Hakuba can never win against Kid. Despite standing on the side of police, Aoko secretly wishes for Kid to succeed so that she doesn’t have to go to the concert with Hakuba. Kid however, was caught with Hakuba in the basement, amidst tear gas that Hakuba released, intending to capture Kid with it.


             Kid took the gas mask from Hakuba then, disguised as the young detective and fled, without the jewel since Hakuba managed to fool him in the end. Aoko on the other hand, as a result to the tie between Hakuba and Kid the Phantom Thief, had to go to the concert with her equally uninterested father who dozed off throughout the show.
