WE CAN HAS KID!!!
-I'm a little late on the squee and discussion there of the case. Got the text translation just before the scans came out.

So, Thoughts and schtuff on 712, mostly in prep for updating the Kid Ref Page

I totally think he's 'Shinkai' because he seems to have a fondness for crossdressing. :)

[marsdejahthoris]

I second Ytak's reasoning. Basically, I don't think it's the Soundman because he's the one being held pu as most likely, being a replacement and all...

[wren_chan]

That was my reasoning just now!

[ickaimp]

Yeah, the soundman seems the most likely because working as the replacement is what Kid did in the 4 Masterpieces case in vol 53, which screams 'It's a Trap!' to me. ^^;;

On the other hand, Kaito could have a part-time job with Nichiuri TV as a soundman, and once he discovered he was gonna be sent on the case, he left. the thought amuses me ~_^

[wren_chan]

Or, y'know, Jirokichi-ojisama could be JUST THAT CRAZY.

[ickaimp]

Yup. I'm betting the tasering was Jirokichi and that Kid is prolly Masui Shougo, the Cameraman.

OF COURSE I COULD BE -TOTALLY- WRONG, but as of this moment, that's my bet. #^^#

P.S. This time we're done with the child's play. We'll do battle as adults.
I think this means that he didn't want Conan there for some reason. perhaps he's expecting the Black Org?

sweatshirts vs. parkas
I'd go with the 'parka' translation, as these have hoods (as shown by Haibara), and sweatshirts tend to not have those.

Who is he hiding as now?!
I say he scoped out the place as the original soundguy. maybe he backed out to disguise as someone else (hence, throwing suspicion on the new, unknown person?) I don't know if he's any of the crew...heck, he may not be disguised at all. He could also be Nakamori. wouldn't be the first time.

Surprise Buttsechs. totally.

also, I think the taser was probably used for activating the locks. or something.

Samizu Kichiemon = YES. best traps and stuff. should make a separate page for him <3

I think he might be briar patching. On his own, Jirokichi might not invite Conan. But let Kid hint that he doesn't WANT the chibi there... and boom, no way will Jirokichi leave him out.

They look fairly light, though, and parkas are quite heavy. I tend to think of them as hoodies.

He could be disguised as Anyone: Shinkai Juri the Reporter, Masui Shougo the cheerful Cameraman, Hisumi Isao the replacement Soundman
