Actually, that codename "Jackal" from OVA 4 was just a police name they gave him, like "Scorpion" for the sniper in Movie 3 and 1412 for Kaito. In the original manga chapter, they just called him Snake because Conan wasn't in there, but with Conan, they needed him to have a reason to know that Snake was a dangerous guy, and they made it, "Oh, I saw that face on the computer!" They never mentioned the codename "Snake"in the OVA because some of the viewers don't know about MK...

Well, that's my theory... (Sorry if that was confusing... ;D)

Makes sense. I forgot that the police wouldn't know his codename. I think more people need to read MK, though. There are a million tiny references for it, from the Red Comet car racers to Tropical Land... ♥

Kaito Kid should stay out of DC's business....
That's a bit harsh. Do you want to be killed?
Nah, just kidding.

But seriously, why post in this thread if you don't even care?
Oh, I see. You want to increase your number of posts.

What I meant was, if Gosho is gonna make Kaito a big part of DC, then that would mean that for the fans to understand Kaito's role and his purpose, he'll have to sell Magic Kaito manga series again / continue the series. Or he could do the whole Magic Kaito story into an anime series.

But I hope not. And I'm not trying to increase my posts.

I don't know. I always compared it with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and XxxHolic. Those two stories are also intertwined, 'though not that much that if you read only one of them, you can't follow the story anymore.

If Gosho does bring the MK storyline into DC, he'll probably explain it all within DC, because of course Kaito will have to tell Shinichi his story. MK'll be sort of like the Star Wars Expanded Universe- you can go back and check it out if you want background information and other stories, but anything necessary will be in the main storyline.

I think MK would be after DC and it would expand Vermouth's (and maybe Yukiko's) character.

That will be cool~

If MK does get into DC, then DC needs more fish and ice skating : D.

Ah, but don't we all love to torture our favorite characters? <3

@Chu-chan (AKA Mangaluva): Ooh, I'd never heard the Snake = Snakebite theory. Didn't even know there was a drink called that. O:
Yet, it would be the perfect angle for Gosho to use if he wanted to easily connect the MK and DC Organizations.

...Now you're getting my hopes up. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. xD

Always good to live in hope, Olive-chan ♥

Besides, Aoyama-sensei ought to know that if he leaves Toichi-sama unavenged, the fangirls will eat him alive...  :D :D :D

But I'm afraid to! What if my hopes are brought crashing down?! D:

True. But he might just resolve Magic Kaito and Detective Conan separately. And I'd really much rather see the plots have something to do with each other.

And that sort of depends on the fangirls in Japan. We're much too far away to eat him alive if he abandons Toichi.  xD

Not with DCTP around. We are all reminded everyday how much DC is to us. :D That's why I love DCTP :-x

Kid can be a very valuable aid in taking down the BO-- a master of disguise equal to Yukiko and Vermouth. (They DID have the same master after all..) And the Black Knight robbery can hardly be called an ending anyway.
Too bad DC is popular in Phil but they dont know Ai,Kaito Kid and other stuffs i wish GMA will continue DC here so we will have a bigger fan base.
