Magic Kaito 15

031
-Enter the Great Detective!

032
-The culprit...
-IS YOU!!

-Let me ask you one last thing...
-Why did you do it?

-M-My daughter is ill, and...

033
-o-hoo-hoo
sfx bub - pat

newspaper
headline box - London's top detective closes another case!
box right/vert - The famous line: "Why did you do it?"
last box: Is Kaitou Kid next?!
bubble: FEH!!

-Asking "Why'd you do it"? Ridiculous!
-Crime is never justified.
-I can't wait to see
-him lock the Kid away!

-THE ONE WHO'LL LOCK KID AWAY
-IS ME, MORON!!

-I-Inspector!! We've got another announcement from Kid!
-GIVE IT HERE!!

034
-...And there's "Adam's Smile"...
-They're carrying it like it was made of glass...
-but little do they know, I'll be making off with it tonight!

-Still, this means the inspector is attempting to guard it as usual.

-But even the great Buddha himself wouldn't be able to tell
-that the Kaitou Kid is casing the joint from a place like this!

035
-The culprit... is you!!
-EH!?

-Let me ask you one last thing... Why'd you do it?
-pat
-A-Aoko!?

-What, don't you recognize that line?
-It's from that famous British detective!
-H-Huh...

-British, French, who cares!!
-All I know is that having you around drives me crazy!!
-What the heck!! YOU'RE the one who invited me!
-Only because you looked like you wanted me to!!
-I did not!!

036
-Kaito's a bum! Bleh!
-Yeah, you better run!

-W-Wowowoaaah!!

-Would you like a little help there, Kaito?
-Aw, shoot...

-Hm~~ You said that the rink wasn't smooth, and you had to cling to the walls...
-but now I know the truth.

-I can't believe you had the nerve to tease Aoko when we were skiing...
-Haha... But skiing and skating aren't the same thing...

037
-poke

-If you grovel before me, the great Aoko just might lend you a hand~!
-W-Who needs your help!!

-A-Aoko...-sama (T/N - sama is a title of respect.)

-Why didn't you say so sooner?
-Dammit...

-This is one stakeout I'll never forget...
(T/N - Pun, I think. Lost in translation. He says this has turned out to be one heck of a "shitashirabe", which is a way to say "stakeout" that also literally means "to investigate below"... and he's being dragged around low to the ground.)

038
-Got it, men!? Kaitou Kid said he's coming tonight
-at exactly 22:00 hours!!

-We must protect Pecasso's masterpiece at all costs!!
(t/n - Yes, Pecasso is a pun on Picasso.)
-ROGER!!

-Synchronize your watches!

-Um... the current date is...
-1990 of the common era,

-Friday, February 23rd...

039
-and exactly 20:51 and 16.05 seconds...

-and just for your information, my watch only deviates
-by 0.001 seconds every year.

-Y-YOU'RE THE BRITISH DETECTIVE...!!

040
-Hakuba Saguru
-at your service.

-Go away! This is no place for amateurs!
-Shoo, shoo!

-Aw, Nakamori-kun, don't be so stiff!
-Superintendent General Hakuba-dono!?! (t/n - dono is another title of great respect.)

041
-You see, he's my son...
-Your son?!
-And he really wants to meet Kid, you know...?

-I-I understand he's your son, sir, but this is a bit...
small bubbles x2: knead
-He's all over the news, and becoming a bit conceited...
-I was hoping you could show him the harsh reality of being on the scene to bring him to his senses...

-Well, if that's all, then leave it to me, Nakamori Ginzou!
-Why, thank you, inspector!

-If there's anything you'd like to know, boy, just let me know!
-Then let me start by asking...

-Is the Kid male, or female?

042
-Huh?
-W-Well, male, I think...

(counterclockwise from top right bubble:)
-Then, his age?!
-Favorite perfume!?
-Height and weight?!
-Physique?? Hairstyle??
-Hobbies?!
-Favorite sports team!?
-Taste in women!?
-Date of birth!? Blood type!?

-D-Dunno...
-Pardon me.

-Wow! Look at all that snow!

-I can't stand having to work in this freezing weather.
-Then how 'bout taking a break?

043
-Huh?

POW

-Sweet dreams!

-peek

-Holy mackerel, this place is full of cops...
-Hey, you!

044
-What are you doing over here?!
-I-Inspector!!

-Get to your post THIS INSTANT!!
-A-AYE AYE!

-These men are dimwits, I swear!
-I nearly had a heart attack...

-Hm?

-An officer's notebook?

045
-What
-is this!?

-Hm, I see...

046
-W-What's going on!?
cough x3

-Dammit, men!!
-Thanks for the painting. Love, Kaitou Kid

-He's still nearby! Search everywhere!!
small - cough

047
-Don't stay out too late now, y'hear!

-Now's my chance to nab the painting.

-This thing is worth 400 million yen!?
-Art doesn't make sense...

-Still, I can't believe they fell for something this simple.
-pop
-Indeed, it was but a rudimentary trick.

-When something is unable to be found at its proper location,
-onlookers arbitrarily decide it's vanished. A simple optical illusion.
-Not even magicians these days stoop to such a level...

048
-With an antiquated trick like that...

-you are 1 minute, 13.02 seconds too late...
-Sir Kaitou Kid!

-Well, the weather kinda backed me up...

-Ha ha ha! But you're the one who's too late!

049
-Ah, yes, should I mention I already cut that rope?
-Do you always perform circus tricks after your magic ones?

-WHAT?!

-And that advertisement balloon should already be well into the sky by now...
-Oh, really...

-You no longer have any means of escape!

-Let me ask you one question...
-Why do you steal?
-What purpose does it serve?

-Heh.

050
-Isn't it YOUR job to answer the question?

-A hang glider...!
-Hmph.
-Do you think you're Batman?

-No, because Batman is a comic book hero,
-not a real-life one.

051
-Pardon me...

-A foolish choice! Tonight's winds are at scale 7, blowing NNW!
-Not the type suitable for a night flight...

-W-Woah!!

-I'll get you, Kid!!

-K-KID!!?

052
-HOLD IT!!
-This is bad~!!

-Hm?

-GEH!!! I'm over the skating rink~~!!
-You're mine~!!

-Take this!!

053
-H-He split into two!?

-Which...

-...one?

-He's on the right!! There's no way Kid could be that lousy a skater!!
-GET HIM, MEN!!

054
-Oh?

-Take this!!
-And this!!

-I got you now~!

-Huh?
-A b-balloon!?
-The Kaitou Kid is a terrible skater...

-Hmph.

055
-Heh, what's so special about that detective from London?

-Look! Kid still got away!
-Gosh, do you have to read the newspaper at school!?
-You're like an old man!

-But I do wonder what that detective is like!
-Attention everyone, let me introduce our new transfer student.
-Keh!
-He's just your average geezer!

-No more "geezer" than you, Kaito!
-On C.E. 1990, February 24th!

-At exactly 9 hours and 32.41 seconds, I've transferred here from London Bridge High School.

-T-That line sounds familiar...!

056
-I'm Hakuba Saguru!

-Kyaaa! He's so handsome!!

-Pleased to meet you...

-...No...way...!
