-But the next uninvited guests are already approaching: [[Kagetora|A tiger]] noticed the tasty prey of the duo and wants to snatch it for himself, causing father and son to decide to simply eat the tiger, too. It doesn't come to that, though: The relatives of the eaten gorilla have located the killers of their family member and now want to take revenge. Kenjuro and Yaiba flee on the back of the tiger and hide in a wooden box. Just as Yaiba dreams about being awash with food one day, the box is filled with a bunch of pineapples, the lid gets closed whith all three of them still inside the crate and the entire package gets loaded onto an airplane, which is on a direct route to [[Narita Airport]] in the [[Tokyo Metropolis|Tokyo Metropolitan Area]], [[Japan]].

 [[File:Yaiba Chapter 1 Taxi Ride.jpg|thumb|right|175px|The group flees from the patrol cars in a taxi.]]
-Parallel to their arrival, the middle school student [[Sayaka Mine]] wants to meet her father, [[Raizo Mine]], who has just returned from a kendo tournament on the Asian mainland. Sayaka congratulates him for his victory, but the latter just angrily replies that he can never feel like a true winner until he has beaten his old rival - who happens to be Kenjuro Kurogane, incidentally. And as chance would have it, he is just tumbling out of the wooden box at the same airport together with his son and the tiger. An airport police unit sets out to arrest the trio, but Yaiba simply sets the tiger to attack the officers to buy some time and uses the flag of a tourist group as an improvised kendo sword against them. Just as he is about to hit Raizo from behind, Sayaka stands in his way, who asks him about his name. He realizes that Sayaka is something he has never seen before: A girl.

-Meanwhile, Raizo recognizes his old rival in Yaiba's father, but before he can challenge him, he is grabbed by Kenjuro, dragged along into a taxi into which Yaiba, Sayaka and the tiger also follow them.

 * This chapter was made/released directly after the three chapters of ''[[Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories#Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy|Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy]]'', which were in turn directly made after [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#Ghost Game|chapter 12 of ''Magic Kaito'' (Volume 2, Chapter 6)]]. [[Gosho Aoyama]] described this experience as pretty daunting and that he really had to rush the latter chapter to get it all done on time.
 * [[Narita Airport]], where Yaiba and his father [[Kenjuro Kurogane]] unintentionally get transported to, is a setting featured frequently in the works of [[Gosho Aoyama]]. It's also where Princess [[Anne of Sabrina]] lands in ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the place of [[Conan Edogawa]]'s confrontation with [[Yutaka Abe]] and the airport [[Vermouth]] returns to [[Tokyo]] to in ''[[Detective Conan]]''.
 * The plane Yaiba and his father arrive with is "flight #704" with a machine of [[Wikipedia:Japan Airlines|Japan Airlines]] (JAL), a real airway company. JAL's crescent-shaped logo also was the template for the brand of the (fictional) [[LUNA]] airline company in ''Detective Conan''.
