How Did Kaito Kid Know Conan Is Shinichi

[phanthomthiefkid]

This is my own theory and PLEASE DO NOT COPY 


Here’s where things get tricky. So far in the manga canon Gosho Aoyama hasn’t shown that Kid knows Conan’s real identity is Shin’ichi. As far as Kid is concerned, he just thinks Conan’s an unusually bright kid who is definitely hiding a secret or two.



In the movies however he definitely knows as he disguises as Shin’ichi multiple times and has known since Last Wizard of the Century (Movie 3). Here’s the rough gist of how he figured it out:



In Last Wizard of the Century there’s a scene where Conan talks to Agasa on the phone regarding Scorpion. Agasa refers to Conan as “Shin’ichi” as he usually does when they’re alone. Only one problem though: Kid admitted later to having the ship bugged AND he was disguised as Shiratori on the ship listening in to this conversation. From that he managed to figure out Conan’s problem and ends up disguising as Shin’ichi at the end to help Conan out as thanks for rescuing one of his doves.



But again, the movies aren’t canon so you can take that information with a grain of salt. I’m sure Aoyama will eventually have Kid figure it out for real in the manga though…

If U Have More Theory Pls Tell Me Thx for seeing this Kid out

WELL HE ALREADY NEW CONAN BY THE LOOKS OF HIS FACE THAT CONAN AND SHINICHI FACE ARE SIMILAR

It is obvious. Shinichi and Kaito are twins separated at birth which is why the look a like and how Kaito knows Conan is Shinichi.


How does Hatori know/find out Conan is Shinichi? As far as I have read in the manga there is no in panel discussion about how Hatori knows. Did Hatori figure it in the episode when Hatori goes on a case with Mouri, Ran and Conan for the first time or did it take a awhile for Hatori to figure it out?
