--Character Question
Do you prefer to cook or to eat food cooked for you?
料理は作るのが 好きですか食べるのが好きですか?
Joker: "Of course I prefer to eat, Hachi makes the best curry~! My specialty is cup ramen! I'll treat you to some another time, okay?"
ジョーカー : 「もちろん食べる方が好きだな!ハチが作るカレーは最高なんだぜ~!得意料理はカップラーメンだな! 今度ごちそうしてやるぜ?」
Tsubasa: "Hm, I've never cooked before… Well, here's the question: if I were to cook, what would it be? 1. Super spicy curry, 2. Super spicy mapo tofu, 3. Konpeito Southern Cross style (very spicy). By the way, I like very spicy food."
翼「料理は作ったことがないな〜。 さて、問題。 僕 が作るとしたら何料理でしょう? 1激辛カレー、 2 激辛マーボー豆腐、 3金平糖サザンクロス風 (激辛)。 ちなみに僕は激辛料理が好物だよ」
Spade: "I guess it's hard to decide between cooking and eating. Dark Eye makes delicious food, so I leave it up to him, but when I'm stuck in a writing dilemma, sometimes I just make French food."
スペード: 「作るか食べる かの優劣はつけがたいか な。ダークアイが美味しいご飯を作ってくれるから任 せきりだけど、執筆に煮詰 まった時はひたすらフランス料理を作ることがあるよ」

Mabuchi P's Big Prediction ★
What kind of brides will the female phantom thieves be!?
"Queen is rough around the edges and wants to do the housework but often fails. She will need someone like Roko to follow her through. Ai is versatile, and she also cooks when in her Dark Eye form, so I think she will make the best bride. Rose seems surprisingly caring; However, she has been asleep for a long time, so I think she will be studying and learning modern common sense."
馬渕P大予想★
女怪盗たちはどんな花嫁になりそう!?
「クイーンは大雑把なので、家事をやり たがるけど失敗することが多そうです。 ロコのような目線で、フォローしてくれる人が必要ですね。 アイは多才で、 ダークアイの姿のときには料理もしていたので、一番良いお嫁さんになるのではないでしょうか。ローズは、 意外と世話焼き な気がします。 ただ、 眠っていた期間が 長かったので、 これから勉強して現代の 常識などを覚えていくのかなと思います」
--INTERVIEW
Producer Yoshiki Mabuchi
What is the main theme of Season 3?
The characters are fundamentally the same as in Seasons 1 and 2, but we asked Miho Shimogasa to design them with a slightly more adult or "cool" look in mind. Phoenix, Hosshi, and "Devil Fang" became the main characters at the suggestion of director Yukiyo Teramoto and series director Dai Sato. Originally, the original author, Hideyasu Takahashi, had an idea for the Phoenix and the Divine Beast, and we pulled the concepts from a rough draft of that idea. There are still many mysteries about President D, but by creating an organization called "Devil Fang" and having rival thieves belong to it, it became easier to bring out various characters in the anime. There are many fascinating characters in the original story, and we want to include them in the anime as much as possible.
In Season 3, you seem to have included a number of concepts that are original to the anime.
Yes, that's right. The concept of Hosshi eating treasures and laying eggs, where key items of the story come out of, is also an original concept of the anime. On the other hand, Akai's three-choice questions are a concept that existed in the original story, and we decided to make use of it in the anime as well, so Akai always says the three-choice question every time he appears in the story. Mr. Sato raised the bar himself, saying, "I want the questions to rhyme nicely" (laughs). He had a hard time thinking about it.
Speaking of originality, Kaneko transformed into a murderous woman in episode 30. I was surprised because this was an idea that Director Teramoto had mentioned in the August 2015 issue of Otomedia.
It was an idea that Director Teramoto had been working on for a long time. The transformation scene was quite forced, but since it was a gag episode, I thought it would be okay (laughs). The next episode, episode 31, "Shadow and Eyes and Fakes" was also a gag episode, and everyone on the staff wanted to do it. Shadow also made an appearance for the first time in a while, and he too became more of a gag (laugh). We also introduced Fake Silver Heart and fake Roko, who were not in the original work. Fake-Silver is a robot and Fake-Roko is a skunk. In the original, Fake-Queen is the character who farts, but in the anime, we switched that concept to Fake-Roko. The cast is also spectacular, with Kenichi Suzumura as fake Joker, Toshiyuki Toyonaga as fake Spade, and Kaori Nazuka as fake Queen. The casting was done after asking Ayumu Murase, who plays Joker, who he would like to play a fake version of his character.
The opening and ending sequences were just as impressive as the previous and the OP was storyboarded by Takashi Otsuka, who also directed the previous season's OP, to match Arukara's "Miracle Shounen Boy 2" with an emphasis on coolness. Tasuke Inamura, the vocalist of Arukara, came up with the idea for the intro of the song, which includes the call "Hachi!" The ED is innovative, with Joker in red and the Hachi in blue, each running on a road in their image color. The ED is sung by Fuki Commune and fits perfectly with the song "Welcome to the Shining Night!"
What are the upcoming episodes and characters?
There are stories featuring DJ Peacock and Ali Baba. Stay tuned for a rendition of "Ali Baba and the Four Detectives." The story of Rainbow Justice will also involve the Devil Fang. In addition, watch for the original anime episode "The Sky Joker in Peril"! The story and tricks are completely original, and it takes place on Joker's airship, the Sky Joker. You will also see Joker's treasure room and learn about the inside of the ship.
INTERVIEW
馬渕吉喜プロデューサー
シーズン3のメインテーマは?
根本的にシーズン1・2と変わらない のですが、少し大人向けというか、カッ コよさを意識して、しもがさ美穂さんにキャラデザインをしていただきました。 フェニックスやホッシー、「悪の牙 《デ ビル・ファング》」が主軸になったのは、 寺本幸代監督とシリーズ構成・佐藤大さんの提案です。 もともと、原作者のたかはしひでやす先生のほうでフェニックスと神獣に関するアイディアがありまして、 そのラフ案から設定を引っ張らせていただきました。 プレジデントDに関してはまだ謎が多いのですが、悪の牙 《デビ ル・ファング》という組織を作ってライバル怪盗たちを所属させることで、いろいろなキャラクターをアニメに出しやすくなりました。原作には魅力的なキャラクターがたくさんいるので、できるだけアニメでも登場させたいと思っています。
シーズン3では、アニメオリジナルの設定が多数盛り込まれていますね。
そうなんです。 ホッシーがお宝を食べるとタマゴを生んで、中から物語のキーとなるアイテムが出てくるというのも、 アニメオリジナルの設定です。 逆に赤井が三択問題を出すのは原作にあった設定で、アニメでもそれを活かしてみようと思い、赤井が登場する度に必ず三択問題を言うようになったんです。佐藤さんが、 「きれいに韻を踏んだ問題にしたい」とご自分でハードルを上げていて(笑)。 考えるのに苦労されているようです。
オリジナルといえば、第30話でカネ子が殺子に変身しました。オトメディア2015年8月号で、寺本監督が語っていたアイディアだったので驚きました。
寺本監督がずっと温めていたアイディアだったんです。 変身シーンはかなり強引でしたが、ギャグ回なので大丈夫かなと(笑)。続く第31話 「影と瞳と偽物と」 もギャグ回で、スタッフみんながやりたがっていたエピソードでした。シャドウも久しぶりに登場して、彼もだいぶギャグ色が強くなってきましたね(笑)。原作にはいない、二セシルバーハートや二セロコも登場させました。 ニセシルバーはロボットで、ニセロコはスカンクですね。原作だとニセクイーンがオナラをするキャラクターなのですが、アニメでは その設定をニセロコに持っていきました。 キャストも豪華で、ニセジョーカーを鈴村健一さん、二セスペードを豊永利行さ ん、ニセクイーンを名塚佳織さんが担当しています。これはジョーカー役の村瀬歩さんたちに「ご自身の担当キャラの偽物をやってもらうなら誰がいいか」と希 望を聞いて、キャスティングした形です。
本編と同じく、オープニングとエンディングの映像もとても印象的でした。OPはアルカラの「怪盗ミラクル少年ボーイ2」にあわせ、前シーズンでもOPを担当していただいた大塚隆史さんに、 カッコよさを全面にだして絵コンテ演出をしていただきました。 アルカラのボーカルの稲村太佑さんのアイディアで、 イントロに「ハチ!」という掛け声が入っているんですが、そのタイミングでハチが画面に登場していますよ。EDは斬新でジョーカーなら赤、ハチは青と、各イメージカラーの道の上を走る構成です。 Fuki Communeさんが歌う「輝く夜へようこそ!」ともピッタリ合っていますよね。
―今後の注目エピソード&キャラは?
DJ・ピーコックがメインのお話や、 アリババが登場するエピソードがあります。 「アリババの4人の探偵団」の描写は、ぜひご期待ください。 レインボー・ジャスティスのお話には、悪の牙 《デビ ル・ファング》も絡んできますよ。 そして、アニメオリジナルエピソード「スカ イジョーカー危機一髪」にも注目です! ストーリーもトリックも完全オリジナルで、ジョーカーの飛行船「スカイ・ジョーカー」が舞台になってます。 ジョーカーのお宝部屋なども出てきて、スカイ・ジョーカーの内部が分かりますよ。

Special Edition Drama (Volume 1 of the Reload Blast Anime BR/DVD): The Doll in the Empty House
Summary: The Ikkou stayed for the night in an abandoned house. Gojyo got spooked by a doll. (But he was not the one who got the bad ending this time :))
--------
Hakkai: How did it go?
Gojyo: It’s no good! I couldn’t find a single soul.
Goku: Same here.
Sanzo: So it’s a deserted village.
Hakkai: Yes. No-one seems to be living here anymore. It’s a good thing we managed to stock up at the previous village, but I’ve wanted to stay at a proper hotel tonight....
Goku: I wonder how long it’s been since the villagers went away. A bit of food was still left in one of the houses I went into just now.
Gojyo: Don’t tell me you ate that, monkey.
Goku: I didn’t eat it! Okay, I did, just a bit.
Gojyo: As I thought!
Sanzo: Don’t worry. There were times when this guy’s had a cold, but he’s never had an upset stomach. It’s pointless to trouble yourself about him.
Gojyo: Is that so.
Hakkai: The night’s getting late, so for now, let’s find a house to stay overnight in.
Gojyo: I thought it’d come to that, but is there really no other option?
Hakkai: We’ve been driving non-stop for a while, so I’d like to let Hakuryuu rest for a bit. Above all, nights around here can get chilly.
Sanzo: Let’s get going.
--------
Gojyo: What’s with this door? It’s not opening at all.
Sanzo: Goku.
Goku: Yeah. Gojyo, let me try.
Gojyo: Okay.
Goku: One, two–
Gojyo: Oh, it’s open now. As expected from our brute of a monkey!
Goku: Don’t call me a monkey!
Hakkai: Goku, you should be more gentle when opening the door.
Goku: Okie-dokie.
Gojyo: This is sure a creepy house, though. Whoa!
Sanzo: Hah? You’re just being fussy.
Gojyo: I’m not! Someone’s left a weird doll behind. Look there, on that shelf over there.
Hakkai: Oh, if that’s not a French doll.
Goku: French doll?
Hakkai: Also known as a bisque doll, it’s made of porcelain and shaped in the form of a little girl. This item seems to have been made by an exemplary manufacturer. Due to intense competition, mass production of these dolls has declined in recent years, so a piece of such high artistic quality seldom appears on the market.
Goku: Eh.... I don’t really get it, but in short, this is a rare doll?
Hakkai: Well, you can put it that way.
Gojyo: Isn’t it strange? Why is there a French doll in such a place?
Sanzo: How would I know? I’m going ahead.
Goku: Ah, Sanzo–
(A loud crash is heard.)
Gojyo: The door’s just closed of its own accord!
Goku: Maybe it’s just the wind.
Gojyo: No, the wind was not blowing that strongly when we were outside just now.
Hakkai: Perhaps the screws or something else in the door became loose when Goku forced it open.
(Gojyo mutters incoherently.)
--------
(The wind blows as they walk through the house.)
Gojyo: Hey Goku, doesn’t this house creep you out?
Goku: Eh? What’s supposed to be creepy about it?
Gojyo: Er, how should I put it.... Well, there’s the doll we saw just now.
Hakkai: Ah, that certainly bothers me.
Gojyo: Yeah, doesn’t it?
Hakkai: The overall style of this house is Tibetan, so that doll is the only thing that does not fit in at all with the rest of the interior. Perhaps it might have been put there as some sort of a highlight. In that case, it should have been dressed in an Asian costume to avoid making it look out of place.
Gojyo: That’s not it! Since I saw that doll, I’ve been getting the feeling that there seems to be something in the air, uh, like something’s about to appear. Is everything really okay with this house?
Hakkai: Based on the exterior appearance, this house is the sturdiest and seems to our best option at keeping out the cold. The doors and windows of the other houses are broken. Please bear with it.
Sanzo: If you dislike it so much, go sleep outside by yourself.
Gojyo: Why would I have to do that? Isn’t that the same as sending me out to my death? **
Hakkai: Ah, after the murder has occurred, everyone feels safer gathering together in one place. But, one person will say, “I can’t stand being in such a place anymore, so I’m going back to my own room!” and take a different action from everyone else. Later, this person will turn up dead – that’s the usual pattern.
Sanzo: That’s a typical plot element in suspense dramas.
Goku: Hakkai knows quite a lot about dramas, doesn’t he?
Hakkai: I started to watch them in order to have something to talk about with the neighbors and ended up getting addicted to them. It seems that the other day, they’ve just cornered the suspect at the top of the cliff in Noto Peninsula. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noto_Peninsula]
Gojyo: Where’s this Noto Peninsula? Also, if anything, the current situation is more like a horror drama than a suspense drama!
Goku: You worry too much. Besides, even if anything were to appear, it’d be fine as long as Sanzo recites a prayer.
Hakkai: In case Sanzo’s prayer does not work, there’s still the salt I got at the previous village, so everything will be all right.
Sanzo: Hey!
Gojyo (mumbling indistinctly): Salt....
Goku: Anyway, let’s put down our stuff somewhere and eat. I’m hungry! I want dinner! Dinner!
Sanzo: You just had a steamed bun a short while ago.
Goku: That was snack.
Hakkai: It’d be great if I could boil some water too. I would’ve loved to have some hot tea to wash down the canned food we’ll be having for dinner.
(Something crashes and rattles loudly. Gojyo whimpers.)
Goku: Hurry up, Gojyo!
Gojyo: Y–yeah.
--------
Goku: Well, here we go – one, two, three, shoot! Ah, I lost!
Hakkai: This means Sanzo and I get the bed.
Sanzo: It’s settled, then.
Gojyo: Do I have to sleep on the floor again?.
Goku: I want the bed! I don’t want the futon!
Sanzo: Stop making a fuss. Just accept your loss – there’s nothing you can do about it.
Gojyo: This is the fifth time in a row I get to sleep on the floor! Once in a while, I’d like to sleep on a bed too– Well, never mind. I’m fine with the floor.
Goku: Eh? Why?
Gojyo: Er, well, the floor’s just fine.
Goku: Eh?!
Hakkai: Could it be that you’re bothered by what I said during dinner, Gojyo?
Sanzo: Are you referring to a common scenario in situations like this, in which one’s foot is seized by something while sleeping on the bed?
Gojyo: Don’t remind me of it when I’ve been trying my best to forget it!
Goku: But, if your foot might get seized by something under the bed, wouldn’t sleeping on the floor be more danger–
Hakkai (grabs Goku and silents him): Goku, if he were to realize that, it’d only lead to trouble, so for tonight, please just accompany him on the floor.
Goku: Okay, understood.
Sanzo: How foolish. I’m going to sleep now. (gets on the bed and starts to breath loudly)
Goku: That’s fast!
Hakkai: Shall we turn in too? Tomorrow, we’ll start moving early in the morning so that we can arrive at a town within the day.
Goku: How long would that take?
Hakkai: About half-a-day according to the map, but since the terrain has changed considerably, there’s no guarantee we’ll get there within half-a-day.
Goku: Ah, I want to have something aside from canned food for tomorrow’s meals.
Hakkai: Our diet’s ended up really unbalanced indeed.
Goku: I want to eat piping hot ramen, fried rice, meat buns, pot stickers, soup dumplings, fried noodles, spicy tofu with minced meat, stir-fried shrimp in chili sauce and pepper steak!
Hakkai: You’ll just make yourself unnecessarily hungry by thinking about them.
Goku (as his stomach rumbles): So it seems.
(Gojyo mumbles incoherently.)
Hakkai: What’s the matter, Gojyo? You’ve been quiet for a while.
Goku: If you’re feeling sleepy, why not just go to sleep like Sanzo did?
Gojyo: That’s not it. I’ve just been thinking for a bit.
Goku: About what?
Gojyo: Eh? Er, well, about that, er–
Hakkai: If it’s bothering you that much, I’ll just put this bag of salt under your pillow.
Goku: Oh, so you’re just feeling spooked.
Gojyo: Shut up! Hey, Hakkai, is salt really effective [against ghosts]?
Goku: Ah, I want to know too! How does it work, Hakkai?
Hakkai: Since ancient times, various theories have arisen regarding the use of salt as a charm against evil spirits. Its white color is seen as a symbol of purity and uprightness. Moreover, salt is known for its effectiveness in slowing down spoilage and decomposition. Because of these, the idea that salt is something that ghosts detests has taken root and become commonly accepted. Furthermore–
(He is interrupted by a couple of loud snores.)
Hakkai: Ah, good night.
--------
(The floorboards creak.)
Gojyo: Hmm? Hm-hmm? Hmm-hmm?! Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, is this seriously happening? This must be ‘that’ thing! If I open my eyes, it’ll be over! I’ll just get my head under the pillow. ** Crap! Is it really time to use the salt? Ah.... something is getting into my futon!
(He tosses the bag of salt with a shout.)
Goku: Aw! What are you doing?
Gojyo: Eh? Monkey?
Goku (spits out the salt): What’s this? It’s salty! Don’t just throw a bag of salt at me all of a sudden!
Gojyo: You’re changing the subject!
Goku: All I did was come back after going for a pee. What a cowardly cockroach kappa! Idiot!
Gojyo: What did you just say?
Hakkai (wakes up and switches on the lamp): You’re noisy. What time do you think it is?
Goku: Gojyo suddenly threw the salt into my face!
Gojyo: That’s because you crawled into my futon all of a sudden!
Hakkai: Errr.... Goku?
Goku: Ah! That’s not it! I just got the spot wrong when I came back!
Gojyo: You’d have normally noticed that someone’s already sleeping in the futon [you’re trying to get into]! How spaced out could you get, you sleep-walking monkey!
Goku: It was dark, so that was an unavoidable mistake!
(A gunshot rings out. Gojyo and Goku whimper.)
Sanzo: Shall I silence you both once and for all?
Goku and Gojyo: S–sorry.
Hakkai: Isn’t it a good thing it wasn’t a ghost? Come now, let’s go back to sleep. If you make a racket again, there will be no guarantee on your lives.
Gojyo: Damn it! What a crappy ordeal!
Goku: That was my line, scaredy-cat kappa!
--------
(The floorboards creak. Again.)
Gojyo (half-awake): Is the stupid monkey going for a pee again? (drew his duvet over himself) Really, how many times does he have to go in the middle of the night? What an annoying monkey! (starts to snores)
--------
(The next morning, as they ride on Jeep....)
Goku: Ah! I had a good night’s sleep! As expected, it was much better than camping out.
Sanzo: So says someone who woke others up in the middle of the night.
Hakkai: Now, now. Gojyo, did you have a good sleep after that?
Gojyo: Yeah, I did. Anyway, you went for a pee again afterward, didn’t you, monkey? You should’ve just done your business in one go, you know.
Goku: Eh? But I went just once.
Gojyo: Hah? Then whose footsteps was it then?
Sanzo: Tch. Oi Goku, get me a pack of cigarettes!
Goku: Okay. Cigarettes, cigarettes.... (rummages in the storage behind) Hmm?
Hakkai: What’s the matter, Goku?
Goku: Hey, who put this doll in here?
Gojyo: Ah! It’s that doll!
Sanzo: Isn’t it the French doll?
Hakkai: It’s from the house we just left, isn’t it? There's no doubt about it, considering the rarity of such a work of art. By the way, I was not the one who put it on Jeep.
Goku: Me neither. Gojyo’s awfully scared of it, so it can’t be him either.
Hakkai: Then, was it Sanzo?
Sanzo: Why would I do that?
Hakkai: Indeed, why would you. In that case, then....
Gojyo: Eh? Then what? Are you saying that this thing followed us of its own accord? That’s impossible!
Goku: Could it be that the footsteps you heard in the middle of night....
Sanzo: That’s a plausible explanation.
Gojyo: Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi!
Goku (jiggles the doll before Gojyo): “Don’t leave me behind!”
Gojyo: Stupid monkey! Don’t get that thing near me! (struggles to get away from Goku and the doll)
Hakkai (losing control of Jeep): Gojyo!
Sanzo: Oi! Stop struggling!
Gojyo: It’s not me! It’s the monkey!
Goku: I was just getting you acquainted with it for a bit. Here, here!
Gojyo: Didn’t I tell you to get it away from me, stupid monkey?
Goku: “Aw, how heartless of you!”
Gojyo: This blasted monkey! Getting carried away like that! Stop it already with that girly act!
Goku: “Come on–”
Hakkai: Please stop it, the two of you. Even under normal circumstances, this is the kind of road on which it’s easy to lose control of one’s vehicle.
Sanzo: Cut it out! Do you two want to get killed that badly?
Hakkai: Sanzo! If you stand up in this situation–
Sanzo: Mmmp!
Goku: Ah. Sanzo fell off.
Gojyo: Crap.
