What makes kaishin the type of ship that ppl stick by even after cousin reveal?
For many it's because we find the two to be the best match for each other. When Shinichi and Kaito are introduce there is an immediate chemistry between the two, Kaito manages to shock Shinichi and then get away, something that Shinichi doesn't encounter often. Shinichi then is able to corner Kaito but he's able to escape one again. Then something interesting happens, the next time they interact, they work together to solve a murder.
It is also the first time Shinichi uses an excuse to let him get away.
And there interactions goes like this: a proper heist the two of them are challenging one another for their own fun. When it's a case, they work together, and in these circumstances Shinichi makes some excuse to let Kaito get away.
Then the manga goes further. Shinichi trusts in Kaito's ability to save the life of Haibara. The situation is deadly, he literally gets blown up, but Kaito escapes and when he complains to Shinichi about the danger (in a very non serious way mind you), Shinichi shares how he trusted in Kaito to get away.
And again. Shinichi is approached by Kaito helping him on a case, and it's reveal that Kaito in the manga is aware of Shinichi's identity (this is the first time this is confirmed in canon and not just movies). The twist is that this wasn't actually Kaito but someone else, Shinichi just didn't question whether it was Kaito because he trusts him so much he didn't think it was anyone else.
In Kaito's own anime, he admits he makes his more complicated heists just to challenge Shinichi. The other detectives like Hakuba, he gets annoyed when they intervere, but with Shinichi he's excited for the challenge he brings him.
The two are also in similar circumstances, hiding behind another identity to hunt down a criminal organization. In fact, the two of them are probably the only people who understand exactly what each other is going through. They trust each other more than they actually trust their love interests (which is very sad and I hate this writing for choice for Aoko and Ran) so naturally people flocked towards the ship.
There are a lot of reasons why people still love this ship despite the authors attempt to try and get rid of it. Even if he made the cousins things canon in the manga, we won't care because he's spent 30 years making an incredibly beautiful relationship between these two characters, it's just a shame he can't see that he did.
yes, i still can't stop thinking about them in those clothes. I love how they look and even though they are (finally) just "Kudo Shinichi" and "Kaito Kuroba" I feel like they still give "Conan" and "Kid" vibes anyway, just great *cheff kiss*
and meanwhile they are being silly having trouble adjusting Shinichi's ribbon and also Kaito teasing him, Kazuha and Heiji...
Alright, so I haven't watched the movie, but I've heard the rumors and spoilers. If they are true, I don't want to see anyone sending hate mail or going back to old fics and hating on them because of the new information or anything, this is something that's had literal YEARS to grow and develop. No hints whatsoever outside of the fact that Shinichi's father and Kaito's father were rivals, and Shinichi's mother was taught by Kuroba Toichi. So if the movie reveals our worst fears as kaishin fans, just remember that it isn't the shippers fault, none of us could have known or realized because there was little to no information at all up until this point and,again, we've had years to develop the ship, over 20 years worth of potential shipping fuel and tension.
Hey hey hey welcome to artist sign-ups for the Kaishin Big Bang event!
Artist sign-ups are open from now until APRIL 23!
Remind me, what is a bang?
A bang is a type of fan challenge in which writers and artists work together to produce new collaborative content for the fandom.
In a reverse bang, the artist signs up first and creates a sketch, and the writer claims the person they want to write for based on the sketch and summary the artists provide.
This year the theme is AU/UA. It is completely optional!
