Get Back Hachi’s Memories! CH3

<3> Memories Lost

"Hosshi!"

"There, there, Hosshi. Have some konpeito." Hachi, with a bandage wrapped around his head, held out some sugary konpeito which Hosshi gladly chowed down on. "Eat up now!"

Joker watched them from the sofa. As far as he could piece together, Hachi had hit his head and passed out while Joker was absent. His external injuries seemed to be limited to a large bump on his head.

But internally, it seemed there was something more seriously wrong with Hachi...

Hachi turned and addressed him, "I still don't know who you are, but thank you very much for giving me first aid." Hachi gave a very polite thank-you, which was quite in line for him — except for the part about not knowing who Joker was.

Joker asked with trepidation, "Hey Hachi, you're joking, right?"

"What's this about?" Hachi replied in confusion.

"Well, I mean... you do know who I am, don't you? You're just acting like this 'cause you're still angry about that teacup, yeah?"

"...I'm sorry. I really don't remember," Hachi quietly apologized.

Joker changed his question. "What's your name?"

"Fuuma Hachi."

"Where were you born?"

"The Fuuma ninja village."

"Any siblings?"

"I'm the eighth of ten children. In order, there's Taro, Jiro, Saburo, Shino, Goro, Rokusuke, Nanasuke... then there's me, and Kurumi and Ichimaru are my younger siblings."

"Your hobbies?"

"Cooking, cleaning, and all other household chores."

"Your favorite artist?"

"The Shuffle Sisters, of course! I'm a fan of Ai-chan!"

"Your favorite author."

"Spade King!"

"What's my name?"

"I don't know."

"Why not!?" Joker blurted out, eyes focused on Hachi. But Hachi just hung his head apologetically. Hachi definitely wasn't the type to lie so blatantly. It didn't seem like he was teasing him or playing dumb on purpose. It must've been from when he hit his head...

"You're sure you don't remember me at all? Not even a little bit? You don't know Phantom Thief Joker-"

The moment the words were out of Joker's mouth, Hachi's expression tightened. He glared at Joker with a sharp glint in his eyes. "Phantom Thief Joker!" Hachi shouted loudly.

"H-Hey..." Seeing how worked up Hachi was, Joker flinched for a second.

"I know that name!"

"Huh?"

"Phantom Thief Joker...! When I heard that name, anger suddenly swelled up in my mind! I remember that person did something awful to me!" Hachi stood menacingly with his fists clenched tightly at his side. "That's a name I couldn't forget if I tried! I'll never ever forgive Phantom Thief Joker! I have to take revenge on him at all costs!"

"Eh... um... uhhhh..."

"As it happens, you just brought up his name! Are you Phantom Thief Joker!?"

"Eh? Well, uhhh..." The gears in Joker's brain turned as fast as they could. Then he caught sight of his own clothes and threw out, "Uh, no, I'm... not Joker! My name is Kaitou Joe." Joker used the same name he just used on stage. Luckily, he was still wearing the costume too.

"...Joe-san?" Hachi asked inquisitively.

Joker responded without delay. "Yeah, that's me! I'm Kaitou Joe, and I travel around the world on this airship! I'm kind of a globetrotter! I go where I please, wherever the wind takes me!"

Hachi's eyes softened, and he bowed his head. "Oh, I see. I apologize for accusing you of being Phantom Thief Joker without knowing anything. That makes more sense. You were kind enough to treat my wound, Joe-san, so you couldn't possibly be that cold-blooded scoundrel Phantom Thief Joker."

"Say that again!? Who are you calling a scoundrel!?" Joker bent forward without thinking.

"Huh?"

"Uh, nothing, er... you shouldn't insult people like that," Joker quickly covered up.

"Oh, excuse me. Yes, you're right, Joe-san."

"Sure..." Joker said, leaning back into the couch. An awkward silence ensued. Both of them were trying to figure out what to say to each other. The living room was silent except for the sound of Hosshi chewing on konpeito.

Hachi opened his mouth. "All right, Joker-san. I have to leave now."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Joker asked in surprise.

"I get the feeling that I can't stay around here. Thanks to you reminding me, I figured out that my goal is to beat Phantom Thief Joker. So I'm going to head out and look for Joker!"

"Eh? No, wait, instead...!" Joker bent forward again in a sweat. "How about you stay here instead? You can travel with me in this airship and search for Joker while you're at it!"

"What?"

"Besides, you're hurt. You shouldn't push yourself until you get better. Maybe you'll remember something else in the meantime."

He couldn't let Hachi go off on his own at this juncture. If he went out and found out that "Joe" was Joker, things would snowball. So it fell to Joker to figure out a way to restore Hachi's lost memories.

"But I couldn't possibly impose on you..."

"It's fine! C'mon, just stay here. Okay, Hachi?"

Hachi considered this for a while. Then he looked up at Joker with shiny golden eyes. "All right! I'll take you up on your offer for now. Thank you, Joe-san!"

When Joker woke up the next day, a wonderful smell drifted past his nose. It was the delectable scent of toast and ham and egg and sausage; one of Hachi's usual breakfast menus.

"Hachi!"

Joker jumped out of bed and rushed to the breakfast table. He nearly put on his usual red suit before hurriedly switching to "Kaitou Joe"'s outfit. The chic look just wasn't his style.

When he entered the living room, Hachi spoke to him with that same old smile. "Good morning, Joe-san."

"Oh... right... good morning."

"Since I'm intruding on your hospitality, I made breakfast."

"Yeah, I can see..."

Hachi's memories still weren't back, it seemed. Joker sat down at the table and wolfed down breakfast with the usual gusto. It was the taste of Hachi's cooking, same as ever. The crispiness of the toast and firmness of the egg yolk was the same as ever too.

To the side, Hosshi was stuffing its cheeks with konpeito as if nothing was any different.

"Not a care in the world, huh, pseudocat...?" Joker mused. Meanwhile, Joker was on edge trying to keep his identity secret from Hachi.

"Well then, I'll join you too," said Hachi as he drew up a chair across from him and started to eat breakfast, as was his usual habit.

Everything was the same as normal. Except that Hachi, though he was right in front of Joker, didn't remember him at all...

Curious now, Joker asked, "Hachi, how's your injury healing?"

"The throbbing in my head's completely gone now. Thank you for that, Joker-san!" With the same beaming smile as ever, Hachi munched on his breakfast. "Oh yes, I did some investigation into Phantom Thief Joker."

"...!" Taken by surprise, Joker's utensils froze. "O-Oh really?"

"Yes. It appears that Phantom Thief Joker is an internationally-active thief. His manifold and elusive ways of showing up have given him the nickname of 'Miracle Maker'..."

"I do know that much." It was a weird feeling, hearing Hachi explain this.

"But somehow, I get the feeling that I know Joker. I've seen his face, of course, but I think I've already heard about the gum he uses, his trademark card techniques, and his other special tricks. I suppose I must've done research on my enemy..."

"Uh-huh..."

Well yeah, Joker thought to himself. Hachi was the one person who got to see Joker working up close and personal. It seemed that Hachi didn't remember that he'd been Joker's assistant, nor was he able to recognize the face of "Joe" as "Phantom Thief Joker". This is a real issue...

Joker crammed his mouth with a second piece of toast and swallowed it down. Then Hachi said to him, "By the way, I've had a lapse in memory like this before."

"Huh!? You what? Really!?" Joker was about to ask for more detail, but just then his phone rang. He glimpsed at the screen and saw the words "STUPID SPADE" displayed. That was what Joker had listed for his contact info.

Joker picked up his phone and answered, "Sup, this is Joker..." before catching himself. "Joe, can I help you?" he corrected.

The call automatically transferred to the tablet next to the table, and a camera feed switched on. The tablet screen showed a young man who looked puzzled by what Joker had called himself. "Do you have a moment?"

Phantom Thief Spade was the one on the other end of the line. He was a handsome youth with steadfast eyes and a shapely nose. His long dark blue hair flowed freely and was crowned by a yellow crest that tufted out at the top. Spade had been Joker's rival since they were kids.

"Uh, actually..." Joker was tongue-tied. If Spade somehow let slip that he was Phantom Thief Joker in front of Hachi, he'd be in big trouble. And he was pretty sure that Spade was going to talk about their mutual profession.

"Cutting to the chase, something surprising happened while I was on the job recently..." Spade started to talk without even waiting for a response from Joker.

Oh snap, if he keeps talking, I'm not gonna be able to keep my identity secret!

"Ah! Sorry, Spade! I've got something else to do right now. Seeya!"

"Huh? Wait, Jo-"

Before he could say the next syllable, Joker switched off the display.

Hachi asked in confusion, "Joe-san, are you sure?"

"Eh? Yeah, it's fine!"

"That was Phantom Thief Spade-san just now, wasn't it. I've met him more than a few times before."

"Huh? Oh really, you have?"

Apparently Hachi did remember Spade. Joker was a little mad that his memories of Spade were still quite intact, whereas his memories of Joker had been neatly excised.

"Sheesh, that's just perfect, isn't it..." Joker grumbled to himself. Just then, his phone rang again. He checked it and saw the words "SWORD-FOR-BRAINS QUEEN" on screen. The names he registered people under were very childish. "Not again..."

But if he didn't answer, she'd probably just keep calling. The tablet display came on. The girl who showed up on screen didn't even say hello before getting down to business. "Hey, can I talk to you, Jo-"

"OH HEY! Been a hot minute, Queen!" Joker frantically cut her off.

"Huh? It hasn't been that long, has it? You sure sound chipper."

Queen's eyes widened in surprise. She had beautiful blonde hair tied into two ponytails and a charming face, but contrary to appearances, she could be very rowdy.

Like Spade, Queen was a longtime affiliate of Joker. The three of them had trained under the same master, Phantom Thief Silver Heart, and learned the ABC's of thieving from him. Queen still lived with Silver Heart as his granddaughter.

"I need to talk to you about something. On my last job, I ran across this one phantom thief. There was something really weird about him."

"Oh, really." Joker's mind was elsewhere, and he already had the urge to hang up.

"So about this weird guy... hey, are you paying attention to me, Jo-"

"NOOOPE nope nope! I have no clue!" Joker drowned her out as fast as he could. Why was it that they picked today of all days to call him by name!? Talking to them right now really was a bad idea. "I'm busy right now! Talk to ya later!"

"Hey, wait-" But before Queen could finish, Joker turned off the display again.

Hachi, right in front of him, was confused. "Joe-san, you're busy?"

"W-Well, I'm eating the breakfast you made right now, aren't I? I'm the type to focus on my meals and eat them respectfully!" This was hardly something Joker would have said yesterday when he was gaming and munching on a fillet at the same time. If he'd had this attitude then, none of this would be happening right now.

"Ha ha, a compliment like that makes all the effort of making it worthwhile." Hachi smiled. "I suppose Queen-san just had bad timing too."

Apparently he still remembered Queen, too.

"You seem to have a lot of thief friends, Joe-san. I wonder about that weird phantom thief that Queen-san mentioned."

"Ha ha, I guess I do." Joker laughed hollowly and sighed. If he didn't restore Hachi's memories quick, he wouldn't be able to talk with Spade and Queen normally, and more importantly, he wouldn't be able to do any capers.

Joker asked Hachi, "Hey. You said something about having a memory lapse before, right?"

"Yes. I hit my head one time and got amnesia."

"What!? Really?"

"I think I just must've hit the wrong spot. But I got help and went back to normal that time..."

"You got help!? From who?" Joker impatiently leaned forward. If they used the same method, Hachi's memories might be restored.

"Umm... If I remember correctly, the person who helped me was..." Hachi traced back his fuzzy memories and at last exclaimed, "That's right, it was Hyakkimaru-san!"

Anyway still thinking about the time in Kaitou Joker Dark Eye is revealed to be some girl named Ai (Love in Japanese) and apparently called her evil persona Dark Ai (And wore a mask with an eye on it)

Like that is simultaneously the stupidest but also funniest thing to do

#is this a spoiler?#I don't even know if this scene was real tbh it's been years #sweetmountainseeds #kaitou joker #I think this is what the KJ in KJfan was right

Autumn 2014 Anime Season

Recall last season.

Well, that was a rubbish set of predictions. Still, I completed 11 shows and still have 4 ongoings which is actually a heck of a lot more anime than I’m used to watching..it helps that no K-drama or J-dorama has been remotely worth my time lately.

Onward to Autumn 2014! This time, I’m trying to improve my projections by actually watching the PVs rather than just reading badly-written synopses.

What I think I’ll like: Kiseijuu, Mushishi S2 Pt 2, Gugure Kokkuri-san, Akatsuki no Yona, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

What I’ll be watching even if I don’t end up liking it: Nanatsu no Taizai (i read the manga), Fate/stay UBW, (bloody) Wixoss, World Trigger, Ai Tenchi Muyo

What I’m totally on the fence about: Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis (looks cool), Amagi Brilliant Park, Madan no Ou to Vanadis, Sanzoku no Musume Ronja, Denkigai no Honya-san, Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru, Trinity Seven, Sora no Method

What I’ll try to watch but probably end up dropping: Orenchi no Furo Jijo, Girlfriend (kari), Garo, Okami Shojo to Kuro Oji, Donten ni Warau, Cross Ange, Danna ga Nani wo Itteru ka Wakaranai Ken, Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girl, Bonjour Koiaji Patisserie, Karen Senki

What I’m 100% sure I won’t be touching with a barge pole: hi sequels (Aikatsu, Chaika etc), Terra Formars, Tribe Cool Crew, anything Gundam, Grisaia no Kajitsu, Kaitou Joker, Ore Twintails ni narimasu, Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai, Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de, Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete (NOOO NOT FEEL)

Leftovers: Akame ga Kill!, Daiya no Ace, Yama no Susume S2, SAO IIWell, that looks bloated ._. I’m thinking of going for the Korean Nodame & Liar Game remakes as well as the live-action Nobunaga Concerto soooo….wish me luck w

Jeez how did I never noticed Kaitou Joker season 1 & 2 Opening isn't exactly the same- (the same can be said for season 3 & 4 OP.)

Time to ramble I guess!

Reminder once again that this is just a ramble and not a professional-level analysis

Wasn't going to dive too deep on the changes at first, but I probably still will accidentally rambles. So!

OP 1 & 2 doesn't have that much difference, only the flash of some episode from season 1 changed to season 2.

The next difference is the main cast spotlight, whereas the season 1 spotlight is 1 character per beat; Joker, Hachi, Spade and Queen. Season 2 do 2 Characters instead, Joker + Hachi, Spade + Dark Eye, Queen + Roko and leaving one open space filled none other than Shadow + Rose.

I think what's interesting on this is Shadow filling Queen previous spot, Queen in S1 look midly mysterious because she's the main focus that season. Replacing her with Shadow (+Rose) is like saying he's the focus for S2 which is yes, true.

The last difference is the last panel, nothing big, just different pose of the main cast, S2 do look more cleaner though.

Season 3 & 4 meanwhile is more noticable.

Another main cast spotlight but S3 & S4 pose changes minorly, mostly mirrored and slight movement difference (S4 is more comedic with Hachi slipping off banana and SH back's acting up). It do make me wonder why they changes it though, such a little detail not a lot would pick up.

The next scene is Joker zoomed on-beat, it's barely noticable but the season 4 frame have that colorful tint along the line.

Another Cast spotlight but this one is for the side-character (or reoccurring) for the respective season.

Immediately Phoenix catches my attention, the difference between the two are not that different but it is interesting; the Phoenix form and Human form switching places, S3 Akai Tsubasa at first is infront while S4 Phoenix is Infront instead. Probably highlighting what we know (or don't in the case of S3) about Phoenix, S3 we barely know him and assume his human form is the default before S3 Finale drops and reveals the otherwise (Phoenix form is his default one instead).

The one that follows after Phoenix is Commando Satsuko & Ali Baba to Commando Satsuko & Mr. Kaneari, Probably to display that they do get married, shoving Ali baba aside bcs he's only appeared in one episode.

Thirdly is Capt. Blue, Hayami and Rainbow Justice to Chappa, Hyakkimaru and Younger Ai. Three characters that got introduced in S3 replaced by a new character in S4 and surprisingly Hyakkimaru! A pre-existing character that plays an important role is S4, Would say that's interesting. Not forgetting Younger Ai, which backstory appeared on S4 instead of the earlier season like the other main cast.

Shadow and Rose is next on the list! Nothing much beside Shadow looking more friendly(?) And Rose being in-front in S4. S3 Shadow look either angry or smiling I'm unsure but the gaze definitely is more intense, if it is an angry expression this could be a way to highlight the development of being calmer in the fourth Season.

Now for a more noticeable changes, the Devil fang member to Agent Purple (in her prime), Doctor Neo and a striking silhouette of Genma. This most likely display the threats and enemy they're fighting, from the "Bounty Hunters" to Doctor Neo and Genma. It's interesting though to see Purple as an ally is there. Maybe to show the connection between her and Neo? Another interesting thing is how menacing Genma is, with such a little screentime yet massive impact on the story.

President D afterward only changes pose, from being darkened by the shadow to being closer on the screen. Maybe to show him being more directly involved in the story, and also the apple seems to be highlighted (if you know, you know).

Hoshi zooming in and being mirrored in S3 to S4 and title screen.

S3 & S4 stayed the same until that part where all of Joker enemy slides in the background again S3 are the DF Members; Red Scorpion, Nightmare, Candy and Spider Ace. S4 being Doctor Neo and Genma again, but uniquely Red Scorpion and Spider Ace pops up again, most likely because they do appear again.

Finally! The last Frame changes from the Main Cast + Hosshi to Almost every important character in one screen.

That's all! Thank you for staying on another ramble of mine!! Feel free to tell me if I missed anything.

Ps. Will edit the post from time to time, mostly for some grammar corrections

Also Happy birthday Joker/Jack Jones!!

A few things:

Joker in the manga and Joker in the anime seem kind of wildly different sometimes. The former is a touch more violent and temperamental, while the latter seems much softer, more prone to just blowing around hot air than physically coming to blows. They’re both quite impish, and have a vindictive streak a mile wide, and they both can be highly destructive, depending on how badly they feel they’ve been slighted (or what their respective plans entail). However, something about manga Joker kind of smacks of actively malicious, or seriously enraged, in some cases, whereas the anime toned a lot of that down. I suppose their physical appearances could also have an effect on the impressions they give off; his original form is more full of hard edges and sharp points, whereas in the anime, he’s much softer-looking, appearing much more youthful, thus aligning his appearance with his actions. He also seems less likely to swear very much at all, while manga Joker, with his shorter temper, seems prone to at least mildly cursing. I don’t know.

On the subject of cursing, and leaning more towards the anime, as I said, I feel like Joker doesn’t really curse, barring extreme circumstances, such as severe physical duress, or a state of high panic. A lot of hecks, hays, darns, and the occasional fudge, though. Queen and Spade don’t really strike me as the type, either- Queen, not at all, and Spade, probably nothing worse than the rare “damn”. I feel like Silver Heart would not approve of his charges doing something so vulgar and crass as cursing. Plus, they’re still quite young; children shouldn’t swear, in his opinion. (For all that he was a strict teacher, he seems like he would have taken the idea of properly raising them in addition to training very seriously.)

Being a soft-spoken idol type, and mostly passive and polite when there’s no need to be aggressive, Ai doesn’t seem like she’d be at all inclined towards cursing. The middle sister, Rei, would probably think it’s not very idol-like. The youngest sister, Kira, is a chaotic and almost obsessively greedy little brat and probably absolutely would curse if she thought she could get away with it- or if she forgot her parents or Ai were in the same room.

Hachi, being like, eight or ten, and raised by kindly parents that he somewhat takes after, would probably not even know a lot of curses in the first place, and might even consider something like “heck” or “darn” to be impolite.

Rose probably isn’t given to cursing, either, being as she’s still mostly at the mental level of a small child, if a clever one, and probably doesn’t know very many, either. Shadow would certainly go out of his way to avoid corrupting his little sister, and is rather proud of his own well-practiced diction, besides (according to the audio CD); so while he’s probably the most likely to curse if annoyed- most likely minor things, like “hell” or “damn”- he probably wouldn’t do it in excess. (That said, I can easily see him having gone through a phase when he was like, twelve or something, where every other word out of his mouth was a “shit”, “goddamn”, or an F-bomb. He was an angry and stressed-out kid, remember, basically a slave to some mysterious rogue foreign military, under some douche of seemingly great former importance; I’d surely be spitting invective, too, as long as I was sure that no one was listening/that I wouldn’t get in trouble for it.)

... Well then, that rather silly stream of consciousness about the likelihood of fictional teenagers and children swearing sure ended on a depressing note. Good night, folks!
