I know I\u2019ve mentioned this to you before, but I\u2019m going to say it again for everyone.<\/p>\n

I was a fan of the Magic Kaito manga first. I didn\u2019t really know what Detective Conan was. I loved the evolving dynamic between Hakuba and Kaito\/Kid. I love how Hakuba went from annoying rival to rival-who-may-care-a-little-bit, to rival-who-may-care-a-good-deal (Nightmare case HNNNG). I hated how the series ended abruptly, and scurried off to watch Detective Conan, since I had heard Kaitou Kid showed up in it. I wondered if Hakuba and Aoko would, too\u2026<\/p>\n

I squealed when Kid first appeared in the series. I\u2019m not afraid to admit it. He\u2019s my favorite character of all time.<\/p>\n

And then I squealed when Hakuba appeared in the Sunset Manor case. The appearance of Watson made me go \u2018it can\u2019t<\/em> be\u2026\u2019 And then when Hakuba was shown in his full glory\u2026Yes. Absolutely fabulous. It had been so long<\/em> since I\u2019d seen him, and goodness was I happy that he had not been turned into a throwaway character. I was sad (incredibly so) that no mention of him was made later.<\/p>\n

Not until the Koushien case, at least. And there I squealed again. Hakuba<\/em>. I absolutely loved<\/em> his dynamic with Heiji. I don\u2019t get why people hate him. Sure, he was rude to him, and it really does make you feel sorry for Heiji. And then Hakuba gets the deduction wrong, which makes you cheer for Heiji even more, because he triumphed over this other detective.<\/p>\n

But really. Look at Heiji\u2019s dynamic with Conan\/Shinichi. They\u2019re best friends and rivals at the same time. They\u2019re close, they share deductions, they work on things together. With Heiji and Hakuba? Hakuba, with all his insults, made Heiji insecure<\/em> about his own abilities as a detective. They have a true rivalry, with no friendship (even though it\u2019d be great for them to be friends). Heiji\u2019s the competitive type. Even though he keeps saying he\u2019s going to best Kudou, more often than not, they work together on a case. Hakuba makes Heiji strive to be better than him; to prove him wrong<\/em>. The dynamic they have is very good for character development for both<\/em> of them.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not mention the 10th movie. I was so upset that it wasn\u2019t really Hakuba in that movie. YOU PROMISED HAKUBA AND YOU GAVE US KID (even though that was a fabulous disguise, so it still kinda was<\/em> like Hakuba was there?).<\/p>\n

Long story short, Hakuba is the best detective and no one should have any reason to hate him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
