this is such a great analysis! you've put into words everything I had in mind but couldn't articulate

I love how the KID movies build Shinichi and Kaito's relationship.

Movie 3 is when they don't know each other well. They have only met the twice face to face during the black star heist so Shinichi is still trying to "arrest" Kaito and Kaito sees Shinichi as a detective who is chasing him, but then Kaito is shot and Shinichi is concerned for his life and cares for Kaito's dove.

He also doesn't reveal Kaito's disguise when he could have and they work together in the end to stop the criminal. Kaito returns the favour by protecting Shinichi's secret. It's the start of a bond forming between them.

Movie 8 is Kaito testing the waters between him and Shinichi. They had worked together twice more before this movie and Shinichi let Kaito go, but he still declares he will catch Kaito so sue Kaito for being cautious! So Kaito tests the water by also messing with Shinichi, by pretending to be Shinichi, almost as if a taunt to say "if you reveal me, you reveal yourself," and Shinichi almost fell for it.

But this doesn't sour the relationship between them, for we know the two have something they share in common, the love of the chase. There's absolutely no way you describe the scene on the rooftop than homoerotic. And then Kaito is surprised when Shinichi tests him in turn, he purposely falls off a roof. But he does so with the knowledge that Kaito will jump after him and then, like an insane man, uses it to keep the chase going. Kaito isn't even mad that Shinichi did this, just amused.

Then the plane happens and Kaito knows that Shinichi is the best option for his co-pilot in the cockpit. He knows Shinichi will focus on all the lives in their hands and work with him to save them. And when Kaito jumps off the plane, Shinichi doesn't believe Kaito has ran away even though he's not sure what his plan is until Ran says she sees a runway.

Movie 10 is another example of Kaito testing the waters with Shinichi. He knows Shinichi is involved in something dangerous but he's also not alone in investigating, another detective is there. At this point, he and Shinichi have two more times after the events of movie 8: the one which is a challenge between the two of them where both were eager for their next encounter when it ended and the mansion where Shinichi again knew Kaito's identity but didn't reveal it in order for the two of them to work together again.

But now Heiji is present and will he work alongside Kaito? So he goes in disguise as another detective. Shinichi figures out at some point it is Kaito but again he works alongside Kaito instead of informing Heiji that it was him. And this is a big deal, Kaito would know that Heiji is Shinichi's best friend, the one who also knows Shinichi's secret, and so it must worry him that he will tell Heiji that KID is among them and potentially hinder his chance to investigate (he doesn't know Heiji as well as Shinichi). Once again, Shinichi preserved Kaito's secret.

Movie 14 is a big one for the duo, it's the first time the two work with each other with no disguises between them. After Movie 10 they had three more encounters, one was to clear Kaito's name, one was a fun challenge between the two of them Kaito purposesly did to challenge Shinichi and impress him with his magic and the third was when they worked together to save Lupin from the vault.

At this point, the bond between them is pretty solid. Shinichi isn't seriously trying to capture Kaito anymore and even let him go on the last encounter they "faced" one another. Kaito saving Shinichi has probably also become second nature to him at this point but what hasn't is Shinichi being the one to ask Kaito to work together with him to get back on the blimp. He even offers his own face to do so.

They also reached 3rd base.

And even though Shinichi doesn't ask Kaito to help with the terrorists Kaito still helps him from time to time. He isn't the one who corners Kaito this time either, it was Ran due to Kaito's own actions. Shinichi does come to the deck, but it's more for Ran than to stop Kaito, who has already been chased off by Ran.

Movie 19 almost feels like the duo taking steps back due to how they don't work together until the end of this movie but it's not. Yes, they have had multiple encounters again since Movie 14, with one of them being Shinichi once again asking for Kaito's help to save a life, even though it also put Kaito in a dangerous position with the faith that Kaito is more than capable of pulling it off, however this movie tells us why there is a change.

Kaito's criminal MO changed. Shinichi, when he first watches the live footage when Kaito appears even questions if it was him due to how unusual this is for him. This isn't the usual Kaito and he knows this and the movie is Shinichi trying to figure out why Kaito has changed.

Meanwhile, for Kaito, again it's almost like a silent test for Shinichi, will you still trust me if I seem to have changed who I am or how I behave without you knowing? And he gets his answer at the end of the movie. Yes, Shinichi does. He uncovered the mystery that Kaito left for him and moved immediately to help. He even trusts Kaito to protect one of the people who mean the most to him.

And it's all these movies together that makes Movie 23 so great. It's the accumulation of all there previous encounters building to this point, where Kaito knows that Shinichi will help him no matter what he asks. And Shinichi once again proves it even more in this movie when he goes to help Kaito during his heist when he didn't ask. They show the world not to underestimate the two of them when they work together.

Despite their episodes and movies being far and few inbetween, it builds their bond incredibly and I love how the movies show the progression of it so well.

I wonder if Movie 27 continued to build this bond and I can add to this when I watch it.

Some kaishin art, this has no specific meaning so I'm curious to see halls interpretations to this

Canon has always been what we wanted it to be. Why would our opinion suddenly change just because the author made some changes? After such a long time at that? Shippers aren't so weak willed that they would just stop what they have been doing because of some stupid hate comments. Hate has always been there, now it's just coming from a different direction. That's why we stay in our corner and enjoy the work and love we share. Besides, in media and stories we can explore things we wouldn't explore in real life, and that is really interesting to me.

recently have seen people on tiktok be disgusted at people saying they still ship kaishin even after the revealing of them being cousins... Idk about you guys but if I enjoyed a ship for 20 years them being related wouldn't stop me at all

Another headcanon of mine is that when Kaito meets Agasa, he asks the man to teach him how he makes his and Shinichi's equipment. He knows how to maintain them but he would love to learn how to create them from scratch and who better to learn under than the man who created most of what he uses?

He also drags Shinichi along from time to time, both for fun but also because there was a time that one of Shinichi's comments about Agasa's "useless" inventions really got under his skin because without the old man, neither of them would be alive today and he deserved so much more respect from Shinichi than what he gets at times.

Both Shinichi and Ai learned very, very quickly that Kaito and Agasa together make a deadly combination.

Agasa adores his new grandson-in-law.

What if the creator of your favorite yaoi ship waited 20 years to reveal that they are, in fact, cousins. It's possible, it's frightening, it happened to Kaishin.
