Shinichi Kudo's other rival, the mysterious Magic Kaito (aka Kaito Kid) will "hijack" Detective Conan's timeslot for four weeks this August for the Magic Kaito Anime Specials!
Magic Kaito centers on a young budding magician named Kaito Kuroba who follows in his late father's footsteps as the legendary thief Kaitō Kid. Not coincidentally, Aoyama also created Detective Conan, and Kaitō Kid has appeared as a rival of the diminutive detective both in the Detective Conan manga and in various anime stories.
The Kaitō Kid episodes will begin on August 6 with Kaitō Kid's Busy Date and continues on August 13 with Her Highness Loves Magic. The specials conclude with the two-part Conan/Kid's Battle for the Ryōma Treasure on August 20 and 27. Comic Natalie describes the upcoming stories as Kaito Kid specials which will run for four straight episodes. The website of Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine describes "all" of the episodes in August as "Kid Specials," but only the first two as "Magic Kaitō Specials."
A Magic Kaito anime special aired last April 2010 as the first anime adaptation of the manga.
