**"The Tearful Crystal Mother"** (涙のクリスタル・マザー ,*Namida no Kurisutaru Mazā*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) is an animated special for [Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito") based on the first chapter from the [fourth Magic Kaito volume](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_4 "Magic Kaito Volume 4"). This marks the second time this particular Magic Kaito chapter has been animated, the first being the Detective Conan OVA [Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother](/wiki/Conan,_Kid,_and_the_Crystal_Mother "Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother"). The story was completely reanimated for the series of Magic Kaito anime specials most likely in order to include the anime original character [Spider](/wiki/Spider "Spider") and continue the overarching plot of the specials.
