=== Situation ===
An auction house in a Manhattan skyscraper in New York shows off the star piece of the night's auction: 'Sunflowers' by [[Wikipedia:Vincent_van_Gogh|Vincent Van Gogh]]. The painting is one of the series painted in Arles, the South of France, by the artist adored by Japan. Until recently, there were thought to be seven paintings in the series, but last year, a new painting was freshly discovered in an old house in Arles, and its composition and colours are an exact match for the second that once resided in Ashiya, Japan. But surprisingly, art experts conclude that this painting is real. The Ashiya version owned by [http://www.vggallery.com/painting/p_0459.htm Koyata Yamamoto], a real life wealthy businessman, was supposedly destroyed by the fires of war, so does this mean that one of the two was a reproduction produced by Van Gogh himself? Then, the one on auction was bought at a record-breaking price by none other than [[Jirokichi Suzuki]].

Jirokichi immediately opens a press conference, announcing that he will collect all seven paintings scattered around the world, and exhibit them as 'The Sunflowers Admired by Japan' in the Suzuki Financial Group's 'Lake Rock Museum' in Shinjuku. Conan and the Detective Boys also attentively watch the conference from the TV in Professor Agasa's house. Jirokichi states he has already contacted the owners around the world, and gained permission for exhibiting them, in exchange for furnishing them with the perfect security, preservation, and transport measures. Jirokichi lauds the specialists he has gathered to fulfill his side of the bargain, the 'Seven Samurai', and invites them on stage. But his laughter is cut short when a card flies through the air and slices into the stage. It was a heist notice with the logo of Kaitou Kid: a Kid Card. Kid then shows himself, pointing his card gun at the crowd, inciting panic and fleeing the scene. But he is pursued by one of the ''Seven Samurai'', Detective Charlie, a security professional. However, when trapped in a corner of the skyscraper, Kid lets off a flash bomb, breaking the window and vanishing into the night sky.

A special plane decorated as the 'Sunflowers Jet' would carry the painting to Japan, along with Jirokichi, Sonoko, the Samurai, and as a special guest, a high-school detective who offered his help in the case: Shinichi Kudo. But just as the jet approaches Haneda Airport, the wall of the cargo hold explodes, the door is blown away, and the painting is carried away into the sky. The engines also end up exploding in the blast, and Sonoko and the others let out desperate screams as the jet goes into freefall. Meanwhile, the 7th Samurai, Kogoro Mori, is waiting with Ran and the others at Haneda Airport for the plane's arrival. But when they spot the plane, it is out of control and having difficulty making a landing. Ran is worried about Sonoko and the others aboard the plane. But then Kid is seen flying through the skies, painting in hand. As emergency vehicles gather around the barely-landed plane, Conan spies Kid. He runs through the airport trying to pursue him, but Kid only sneers and flies away. However, Conan successfully locates the painting Kid had hidden. The Samurai quickly examine it and attest that the painting is fine.

Several days later, Jirokichi invites the Seven Samurai to a conference to plan what counter-measures they can take against Kid. The owners of the other paintings had also become reluctant in loaning him their paintings. That morning, Conan, Agasa, and the Detective Boys head to the Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Museum of Art, to see the 5th painting. Just after Conan leaves, Kogoro receives another notice from Kid. The Samurai decode it and find that the notice states that he will steal the 5th painting tonight. Conan, Haibara, and the others are viewing the 5th painting together with an old woman named Umeno, said to visit and view the painting every day, when Jirokichi, Kogoro, Inspector Nakamori, and the others arrive. Conan quickly realizes a case is unfolding and joins up with them. They decide that they should move the painting to a safe place before night comes, and the painting is to be wrapped up under the instructions of the Seven Samurai. However, Kid had already infiltrated the staff, and steals the painting. He also leaves behind a message to the museum's curator, saying he will return it if paid ten billion yen. Jirokichi immediately decides to pay the enormous ransom. The deal with Kid turns into chaos, however Conan and the others miraculously succeed in retrieving the 5th painting. However, even Conan begins to wonder about Kid's escalating crimes which have come to endanger many lives.

With Kid's motives as yet a mystery, the exhibition of the Seven Sunflowers at Lake Rock Museum meets its opening day. The most excited to see the exhibition are the Detective Boys, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko. Just as they begin to view the paintings, Conan spots a Kid Card. The enigmatic message could not be deciphered by even the Seven Samurai, but its presence attests that Kid is already within the museum. Jirokichi quickly orders to evacuate the museum goers and staff, to trap Kid inside the museum. However, he seems to have anticipated this turn of events, and blows up the electric room, leaving the museum in a blackout. Then, a great fire also breaks out, leaving Jirokichi and the others no option but to send the paintings to their storage room, and evacuate to a special room outside. But, the 2nd and 5th painting could not be collected, and the inferno closes in on them. The only people remaining in Lake Rock Museum are a great detective, a great phantom thief, and...?!

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit isn't [[Kaitou Kid]] and was only counterfeiting Kid's cards. The card that Kid left earlier implies that there is a traitor among the people that Jirokichi invited. After some investigating, [[Ginzo Nakamori]] believes that the traitor is '''Koji Azuma''', the one who killed his twin brother half a year ago in Arles.

To save the last painting in the burning room, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and Kid head for the room. Each painting had a safety mechanism so that the paintings would be transported to a safe room but for one of the paintings the mechanism got stuck and was left to burn. Conan and Kid, who is disguised as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], are helpless until [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] breaks the wall that had the painting stuck on the wall. The painting comes off and falls through the tunnel in the wall but due to this impact, the roof on top of them starts to collapse, leaving Ran unconscious and start falling down the open wall. Both Conan and Kid falls in as well and they find themselves trapped. Kid gets out of the Shinichi costume and goes to check for another exit as the vault doors are sealed. Kid did all of those things because he realised that the paintings were in danger from someone wanting to destroy them.

Conan calls everyone as Shinichi and starts the deduction show: the traitor/culprit is not Koji Azuma like everyone believes, but rather '''Natsumi Miyadai''', who - in a misguided affection for van Gogh - tried to stop the exhibition or destroy the Ashiya painting, which she perceives as a fake with an unrightful place among the 'real' van Goghs. The proof for her involvement was her suggestion to decorate the gallery walkway with sunflowers, to use them as incindiary material for the fire. Kaitou Kid attempted to work against Miyadai's scheme after she anonymously attempted to hire him to steal the painting. This was also a personal matter for Kid because his confidant and assistant, [[Konosuke Jii|Jii]], had in his youth worked in the mansion where the painting was kept and thought to be destroyed, and where he witnessed Kiyosuke Azuma rescuing it at the cost of his own life (thereby incidentally proving that it is the real painting instead of a replication).

Once Conan finishes his deduction, Kid swoops down with his hang glider to save the falling Conan and unconscious Ran. He successfully catches Ran but misses Conan, who keeps on falling. Kaitou Kid escapes the collapse and leaves Ran in the forest at the lake's shore, where she is found by Kogoro and the others. When she wakes up, nobody knows where Conan is. It suddenly hits her that Conan's still in the building.

In the building, Conan saves himself with the suspenders from hitting the ground. But because the cliff that had the building on top of it collapses and drops underwater, the room fills up with water fast. He tries to push the painting out of the way but cannot move it. At last, the room is filled up and Conan held his breath underwater. He thinks of a way to save himself and the heavy painting when he suddenly remembers the firework ball belt. He uses that as a force to push him and the painting to the surface. He is close to the surface when he runs out of breath and as a last ditch effort, he inflates a second ball to float him to the surface. When he gets to the surface, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] retrieves Conan from the water.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=910585888993365&id=508258949226063 Movie 19 - Facebook]</ref> In the meantime, Inspector Charlie manages to get Kid in his sights, but he has come to realize that Kid, despite his profession as a master thief, is very much an honorable person. Thus, the two opponents part with a new-found respect for each other.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Chihiro_Ougi.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Chihiro Ougi in [[The Super Narrow Shop Crime Scene|Episode 634]]]]
* The movie grossed 4.45 billion yen, making it the highest grossing Detective Conan movie yet.
* Natsumi Miyadai's character design is the same for Chihiro Ougi, a 35 years old japanese dance instructor in [[The Super Narrow Shop Crime Scene#Trivia|The Super Narrow Shop Crime Scene]]. The only differences are that Chihiro has violet eyes and puts on lipstick, while Natsumi has green eyes and no lipstick. In addition, from the facial features, it can immediately be noticed that Natsumi is a bit younger than Chihiro.
* The Cheetah Delivery company, featured in [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service]] ([[Volume 80#Delivery Service|Vol 80]]), UFO Sighting Murder Case ([[Volume 89#UFO Sighting Murder_Case|Vol 89]]), in the special [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]], and the Anime original episode [[Munch's Missing Scream]], reappears in this movie, as the company where Taizo Ishimine works. It also appeared in episode 800: [[After That Hundred Million Yen]].
* Sky Japan, the airline whose Flight 865 was involved in a murder in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]] reappeared in this film, with some of its plane departing Haneda Airport and one of the plane exploded as a result of collision with the Sunflower Jet.
* A simple copy of the painting 'Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers' of Van Gogh appeared first in [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]].
* During the scene where the culprit (as a [["The Criminal"|black figure]]) is shown blowing up the electric room, the watchers can already tell who that is from his/her walkie-talkie earpiece (open spoiler box for details).
<spoiler>The culprit is shown wearing his/her earpiece on the left ear. Among the Seven Samurais, who are using those earpieces for communication, only Natsumi Miyadai has her earpiece on the left ear.</spoiler>

Once Conan finishes his deduction, Kid swoops down with his hang glider to save the falling Conan and unconscious Ran. He successfully catches Ran but misses Conan, who keeps on falling. Kaitou Kid escapes the collapse and leaves Ran in the forest at the lake's shore, where she is found by Kogoro and the others. When she wakes up, nobody knows where Conan is. It suddenly hits her that Conan's still in the building.

In the building, Conan saves himself with the suspenders from hitting the ground. But because the cliff that had the building on top of it collapses and drops underwater, the room fills up with water fast. He tries to push the painting out of the way but cannot move it. At last, the room is filled up and Conan held his breath underwater. He thinks of a way to save himself and the heavy painting when he suddenly remembers the firework ball belt. He uses that as a force to push him and the painting to the surface. He is close to the surface when he runs out of breath and as a last ditch effort, he inflates a second ball to float him to the surface. When he gets to the surface, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] retrieves Conan from the water.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=910585888993365&id=508258949226063 Movie 19 - Facebook]</ref> In the meantime, Inspector Charlie manages to get Kid in his sights, but he has come to realize that Kid, despite his profession as a master thief, is very much an honorable person. Thus, the two opponents part with a new-found respect for each other.</spoiler>

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

== Skills ==
[[File:Jii is a hacker.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Jii has some skill with hacking control systems.]]
A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.

== Plot overview ==
Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

Since then, Jii has appeared to offer Kaito advice and sometimes assist him in his heists.

When the building began to burn, it was Azuma himself groped to save '[[Wikipedia:Sunflowers_(Van_Gogh_series)|Still Life: Vase with Five Sunflowers]]', the second picture of [[Wikipedia:Vincent_van_Gogh|Vincent Van Gogh]] painting of sunflowers in [[Wikipedia:Arles|Arles]], who was attached to the wall for protect it from thieves, before it was destroyed. Before finishing charred, he gave the masterpiece to Umeno, trusting that one day the desire of the real life [[Wikipedia:Sensei|master]] [[Wikipedia:Mushanokōji_Saneatsu|Saneatsu Mushanokoji]] about a museum in Japan to show it to the whole world will become reality. Jii witnessed the whole scene, and it was he to rescue both Umeno and the painting.

To protect it from the Allied Forces, the painting was passed off as an imitation and then transported in Europe, to be hidden in an old cottage right in Arles, in southern France. Thanks to his story, a year earlier, [[Sunflowers of Inferno#People|Koichi and Koji Azuma]], Kiyosuke's two twin grandsons, found it after a long search. During the exhibition 'The Sunflowers Admired by Japan' in the Suzuki Financial Group's 'Lake Rock Museum' in Shinjuku, disguised as [[Zengo Goto]], the bodyguard of [[Jirokichi Suzuki]], he cries happy seeing on the monitor Umeno moved when reviewing the painting. Now that 'Sunflowers of Ashiya' returned to Japan, Azuma can finally rest in peace.

Jii witnessed the whole scene, and it was he to rescue both Umeno and the painting.

To protect it from the Allied Forces, the painting was passed off as an imitation and then transported in Europe, to be hidden in an old cottage right in Arles, in southern France. Thanks to his story, a year earlier, Koichi and Koji Azuma, Kiyosuke's two twin grandsons, found it after a long search. During the exhibition 'The Sunflowers Admired by Japan' in the Suzuki Financial Group's 'Lake Rock Museum' in Shinjuku, disguised as [[Zengo Goto]], the bodyguard of [[Jirokichi Suzuki]], he cries happy seeing on the monitor Umeno moved when reviewing the painting. Now that 'Sunflowers of Ashiya' returned to Japan, Azuma can finally rest in peace.

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

== Skills ==
[[File:Jii is a hacker.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Jii has some skill with hacking control systems.]]
A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.

== Plot overview ==
Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

Since then, Jii has appeared to offer Kaito advice and sometimes assist him in his heists. It was implied that the Kid's 'assistant' in the Magical Midair Walk<ref name="Kaitou Kid's Magical Midair Walk">Detective Conan Volume 44: Chapters 7-10.

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

* In the “[[Kogoro in the Bar]]” case his billiards parlor the Blue Parrot is featured as a murder location. However neither Jii nor any other Magic Kaito characters appear.

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

== Skills ==
[[File:Jii is a hacker.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Jii has some skill with hacking control systems.]]
A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.

== Plot overview ==
Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event.

* In the “[[Kogoro in the Bar]]” case his billiards parlor the Blue Parrot is featured as a murder location. However neither Jii nor any other Magic Kaito characters appear.

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

== Skills ==
[[File:Jii is a hacker.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Jii has some skill with hacking control systems.]]
A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.

== Plot overview ==
Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]].

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

== Skills ==
[[File:Jii is a hacker.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Jii has some skill with hacking control systems.]]
A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.

== Plot overview ==
Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

Since then, Jii has appeared to offer Kaito advice and sometimes assist him in his heists. It was implied that the Kid's 'assistant' in the Magical Midair Walk<ref name="Kaitou Kid's Magical Midair Walk">Detective Conan Volume 44: Chapters 7-10. Episode 356 (Kaitou Kid's Magical Midair Walk)</ref> and in the Teleportation Heist<ref name="KaitouKidsTeleportationMagic">Detective Conan Volume 61: Chapters 1-4, Episode 515 (Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic)</ref> was Jii himself.

Koyata Yamamoto, a real life wealthy businessman, hired him as a servant of his residence on the coast of [[Wikipedia:Ashiya|Ashiya]] and even then he wore glasses.

== Plot overview ==
Jii first appears in the opening file of Magic Kaito, where he dresses as the Kaitou Kid and steals a diamond using a magic trick that makes most of his body disappear. After Kaito stumbles through the trap door to his father's Kaitou Kid room and realizes that his father was the original Kid who disappeared eight years ago, he decides to dress as the Kid and discover the identity of the current Kaitou Kid.

Kaito confronts Jii on the top of a building and manages to see through Jii's disappearing trick. Jii mistakes Kaito for his father, then Kaito recognizes Jii from tapes of his father's magic shows. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi was murdered eight years ago, and that he, Jii, had donned the costume in an attempt to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|the murderers]]. Kaito immediately decides to become the Kid, to Jii's seeming dismay, but Jii's advanced age make it clear that Kaito has a better chance of successfully pulling off heists than Jii does.<ref name="TheResurrectedDKaitou">Magic Kaito Manga Volume 1: Chapter 1, Magic Kaito Special Episode 1 (The ResurrectedKaitou)</ref>

Since then, Jii has appeared to offer Kaito advice and sometimes assist him in his heists.

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the [[Kaitou Kid]], and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii.

Jii currently runs a a billiards parlor called the Blue Parrot. He lost a legendary pool cue to a rival billiards parlor 13 years ago, prior to when he met Toichi, but it is not clear whether Jii owned the Blue Parrot at that time or if he opened it only after Toichi's death.<ref>Magic Kaito Vol. 2, Ch. 7 (Hustler vs Magician)</ref>

== Personality ==
Jii appears to be deeply loyal to the Kuroba family, always willing to assist both Toichi and Kaito's activities as Kaitou Kid. Though he is not as outgoing as either of his employers, he is brave enough to take on many high-risk assignments with little hesitation.

When not assisting on heists, Jii's interests seem to include billiards and classic art (as evidenced by his interest in the Paris Collection).

== Skills ==
[[File:Jii is a hacker.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Jii has some skill with hacking control systems.]]
A former magician's assistant, Jii is quite knowledgeable about magic. Jii currently assists Kaito Kuroba on heists, and likely assisted Toichi Kuroba in the past. Jii does at least some of the scouting and preparation needed to develop tricks for heists, and occasionally helps in the tricks themselves during the main event. He is also a swift and skilled but reckless driver who weaves in and out of traffic.
