Ladies and gentlemen!
I bring you marvelous illusions to make your night shine!
Tonight, I hope you enjoy the miracle of a ruby that guides a person's life!
"Kaitou Kid has issued another declaration of war.
This time, his target is the world's largest ruby, owned by the Hopper Magic Troupe".
Jeez.
That darn thief will never learn, no matter how many times he's foiled.
Dummy. I return them on purpose 'cause they're not the jewel I'm after.
You shouldn't do it.
A-Akako?
Shouldn't do what?
I'm talking to Kaitou Kid.
That ruby is known as a demon stone because it brings misfortune upon anyone who tries to get it.
The Red Tear.
But if Kid insists, then so be it.
The Red Tear?
Wait, that jewel is the one that...
A long time ago, Dad...

Red Tear
Inspector Nakamori!
Kaitou Kid sent out another advance notice!
Idiot!
We already got his advance notice yesterday!
He said he's going to steal the world's largest ruby from the Hopper Magic Troupe
during their dinner show at the Minato Hotel tomorrow.
But this came today.
What?!
To My Dear Inspector Nakamori, Disregard what I said in yesterday's notice. Please excuse my absence. With kind regards, - Kaitou Kid
He's calling it off?!
Hey, did you see the news this morning?
Nope.
Here, look.
"Kaitou Kid Concedes an Early Defeat!
Is He on the Verge of Retiring?!"
Christ, I oughta sue for libel...
"Jody Hopper, leader of the Hopper Magic Troupe, comments:
'It's a shame I won't get to see his magic'", huh?
He must be scared of Dad.
When all's said and done, he's just a coward!
Moron. Who could be afraid of that third-rate gumshoe?
I've got a good reason not to steal that jewel.
He just picked Aoko's pocket!
Wait!
Bastard!
Hey, what's wrong?
Kaito?
Here.
This is yours, right?
Huh?
Th-Thank you!
She got Aoko's wallet back in the blink of an eye!
That was so fast that it made the first pickpocket look as subtle as a freight train!
Wh-Who is she?!
Honestly. I heard the Japanese let pacifism lull them into a false sense of security,
but I didn't think it was this bad.
Are you Jody Hopper-san, the leader of the Hopper Magic Troupe?!
Yes.
Oh, she's a magician.
No wonder she's got fast hands.
Remember, Kaito, she's in the news site's article...
I know.
Her grandfather is James Hopper,
once the greatest magician in England!
Guess what?
His father is Kuroba Touichi, once the greatest magician in Japan!
In the world, you idiot.
Yes. I know of him.
The world's foremost illusionist, known as the Magician of East Asia.
But in the end, he and my grandfather were both like that pickpocket.
Just cunning con artists who deceived people and rolled them for their money.
B-But you do magic too.
After my grandfather died two years ago, I had no choice but to inherit the troupe.
But even that's coming to a close.
That's right.
Tonight is the Hopper Magic Troupe's last show.
You're both welcome to come and see it if you'd like.
If you care to be tricked...
by swindlers like us.
It's them!
The mysterious organization that murdered my father eight years ago.
So they're after Jody-san's Red Tear too.
Plus, their objective is to obtain Pandora.
No way are they gonna pass up the world's largest ruby.
And after I canceled the advance notice for Dad's sake...
Hey, what are you daydreaming about?
The movie's gonna start!
Two people at the hotel entrance,
one in the revolving restaurant on the roof,
and...
three here at the dinner show.
I've placed some detectives, but... is he really not gonna show?
Jeez...
Why so serious, Dad?
Kid's not coming tonight, right?
You should sit back and enjoy this!
Y-Yeah, you're right.
Amazing! Amazing!
Man... Kaito was supposed to come with me.
No way am I gonna see a show put on by people who disrespect magicians!
And so here I am.
How does the venue look?
There are three or four plainclothes cops in the audience.
But we don't see anybody who could be Kid.
All right, just as planned.
Execute the plan in ten minutes.
And don't screw up.
Yes, sir!
Well, well, Paul.
Nice job.
When did you get this good?
Probably because it's his last chance.
It's not just Paul.
The others are also going all out to improve their skills.
They want you to keep this magic troupe going.
I already told you, Robert.
When I took over, I gave you all two years to find real jobs, and that was it.
If you want to keep the troupe going, you can do it yourselves.
B-But...
You're the only one who can keep us together!
I'm sick of being in this world of lies and deceit.
Besides...
I want this to be the last time.
The last time I wear this accursed jewel.
M-My lady...
Look!
That's Jody-san, the leader!
Then that's the world's biggest ruby, huh?
Just a moment!
Are you with the troupe?
Y-Yes.
Does she always wear that jewel?
Yes.
It's basically the trademark of our magic troupe.
Um, I didn't see Jody-san listed as a performer in the program.
Is she not very good at magic?
Quite the opposite!
Ever since my lady was a little girl,
her parents and grandfather, James-sama, taught her.
Even now, she's the most talented magician in the whole troupe.
So her parents perform magic too.
Yes.
They were the best double act in the world of magic.
Until they died ten years ago in an accident in the middle of a show.
That was the day James-sama retired and passed the jewel on to those two.
Ever since then,
my lady has stopped practicing magic.
And since then, that ruby has been called a demon stone—a bringer of misfortune.
Come to think of it, Akako-chan was saying something like that.
Jody-san...
And now, for our finale, the Human Cannon!
How about letting me...
take care of the show's finale?
K-Kaitou Kid!
Don't let him get away!
After him!
Right!
What? He sent a note saying he wasn't coming!
You just can't trust a thief!
Kaitou Kid...
Paul, take our lady to the dressing room!
R-Right!
Relax.
We haven't killed anyone yet.
I'm going to count to three.
If you don't want to get hurt, give me that jewel.
D-Don't do it, my lady!
One!
Robert!
Two.
Three.
P-Paul!
Fool.
Now, give it here...
Unless you want to join him.
Halt, Kid!
K-Kid shot at me?!
It can't be...
Let's go! Give it to me!
Y-You can...
You can have it!
You mustn't, my lady.
Don't give them the jewel.
P-Paul!
You're okay?!
Yes. I'm wearing a bulletproof vest.
B-Bulletproof vest?
Why would you have that?
That's because...
I'm Kaitou Kid!
Bastard!
But Kid was out there...
That was probably one of their accomplices.
A decoy to lure Inspector Nakamori and the other officers out of the venue.
Then what about Paul?
He's been on the john since before the show.
No wonder! I didn't think Paul was up to that level of magic.
The Red Tear is your target too.
But I didn't think you were coming after you canceled the advance notice.
I didn't come here to steal it.
I came here to protect...
both you and the jewel.
Shit!
They escaped upstairs?
I'll go after him!
You guys get out of here!
Yes, sir!
All right! Just a little more!
Damn you, Kid!
That fraudulent bastard...
You're not going anywhere!
Damn it! All right, how about...
That's what you get!
She's not James Hopper's granddaughter for nothing...
Bitch!
Hey, tell me.
Why do you want to protect me and the jewel?
Answer me, Kid!
Hotel
Minato
Revolving Restaurant
You've got nowhere left to run.
Now give me that jewel.
Her jewel isn't Pandora.
Besides, you're the one who has nowhere to run.
What?!
I-It's spinning!
I did a little tinkering with this restaurant's revolving mechanism.
You son of a...
And right as our guest is arriving!
What?!
S-Snake-sama!
Thank you, Kid.
You saved me.
But "Demon Stone" is really a fitting name.
Because of this jewel, members of the troupe got hurt
and the show was ruined.
This really was the last performance of the Hopper Magic Troupe.
With apologies to my grandfather, it looks like I can finally be free.
Free from the world of magic that robbed my parents of their lives...
And free from this cursed ruby, too.
I know how you feel.
But magic doesn't kill people.
The jewel will tell you that.
Don't you think it's strange?
Normally, rubies are red, but that jewel is blue.
And its name is "Red Tear".
N-Now that you mention it...
Red: a key word used to describe fire.
Observe.
Your grandfather, James Hopper,
left this for you. His final...
magic trick.
G-Grandfather...
Dad... Mom...
And me, when I was little...
A letter?
"Dear Jody...
For you, magic might be something to hate
because it is the reason why your parents were killed,
but, I want you to remember once more,
the first time you went on stage, the fast beat of your heart,
the audience's surprised voices and the loud applause.
Believing, that when the jewel shines red,
the super-magician Jody Hopper will revive once again.
James Hopper".
G-Grandfather...
Dad...
He used the jewel's refractive index to make the projection appear only under the glow of flames.
Wow, he's great!
I can't believe he did that!
Yes. He calls it the "Red Tear".
My mentor in magic inserted it into the jewel for his granddaughter.
It's very special magic.
I protected it,
Dad.
Both of my parents were so proud of my magic.
I'd completely forgotten.
So you used to look like that while performing magic, huh?
I'm going to give it one more shot.
Magic...
and the troupe, too.
Kaito!
What's this? You were curious and came after all, didn't you?
I can do whatever they can!
Then do it right now!
Dummy. I'm done with tricks for the night.
After the Red Tear, anything I did would pale in comparison.
Hey, Kaito!
Jeez, you're so stubborn.
A miracle called the Red Tear.
Making that magic work requires knowing the device, the trick, and one more thing:
the love embedded in the jewel.
Well, then.
See you next illusion.
moshimo kanashimi ga tsume o toi de anata no koto o hikisakou to
If claws of sadness tried to wrench you away from me
chikazuitemo boku ga soko de owaraseru kitto sono akumu o
I'd put an end to that nightmare without a second's delay
rakutenka kidori de itai n da nanigenai tsuyosa ga hoshii n da
I want to be optimistic and have that little figment of strength
kimi no tame ni boku no tame ni tamashii datte tatakiuttatte ii n da
If it would help you and me, I'd even sell my soul on the cheap
sono kakugo ga boku ni wa ne aru n da
I have the resolve to go through with it
soredemo
But yet
kimi to no hibi ga kou iu n da
In the days I spend with you
'itsuka ne' tte 'itsu na no?' tte zutto sonna choushi datta
All that we could ever say was "Someday, okay?" "But when's someday?"
Take back those tears you shed
koboreochita namida o hirou yo
When I start thinking about "What should I do?" "I wonder what I should do."
'doushiyou' tte 'nani shiyou' tte kangaetetara asa ni natte
I find the dawn waiting for me
konna fuu ni bokura wa dareteitai dake
We were just longing to listlessly laze about
sore ja dame?
But is there anything wrong with that?
