the thing that pisses me off so much about hakuba in magic kaito 1412 is how he says that “the truth will always come to light” instead of “why would you do such a thing” because you could learn so much about him from “why would you do such a thing” (especially since nakamori said “bad guys never have a reason!” upon hearing about his catchphrase) like: he’s interested in the psychology of the criminal, he knows actions have motives, he knows not everything is black and white, he knows “criminal” does not always equal “bad person” etc. but instead they changed it to “the truth will come to light” and made him more like shinichi like come on was that change necessary you just took away a big chunk of hakuba’s character that set him apart from the other teen geniuses everything else is just a nitpick but this particularly made me mad
my thoughts exactly
Well, his original catchphrase is still canon… so that’s still there… I’m going to assume that he has multiple catchphrases. I don’t see why he wouldn’t.
But, yeah, I know that the whole “why would you do such a thing?” is the central core to when I write Hakuba, and without that, so much falls apart. Mostly because he really does, as said, become just a Proto-Shinichi.
