### Story[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=The_Revived_Phantom_Thief&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Story")]
The mysterious thief Kaitou Kid has suddenly emerged after an eight year hiatus to steal jewels from museums. Using unbelievable magic tricks, he manages to elude police inspector [Ginzo Nakamori](/wiki/Ginzo_Nakamori "Ginzo Nakamori").
Meanwhile, at Ekoda High School, it's another ordinary school day for class 2-B as [Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba") teases [Aoko Nakamori](/wiki/Aoko_Nakamori "Aoko Nakamori") causing her to chase him with a mop.
After school, Kaito discovers his mother, [Chikage](/wiki/Chikage_Kuroba "Chikage Kuroba"), is away in Las Vegas and muses to himself about some advice his late father, [Toichi](/wiki/Toichi_Kuroba "Toichi Kuroba"), gave him about using a Poker Face. Kaito ends up touching a portrait of Toichi on his bedroom wall and stumbles into a secret room of the house with an odd array of gadgets, including a car! While looking in the room, Kaito discovers what appears to be Kaitou Kid's outfit. Realizing that the last appearance of Kid and his father's accident were around the same time, Kaito dons the outfit and heads for Kid's latest heist at the Tokyo City Museum, determined to get some answers.
Heist
**Thief:**[Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid")
**Target:**Moon's Pupil
**Location:**Tokyo City Museum
**Advanced Notice:**Tomorrow at 23:54, I will take the Moon's Pupil located inside the Tokyo City Museum!
A jewel worth 400 million yen.
Kid manages yet again to steal a gem and elude the police using magic, escaping to the roof of the museum. Once there however, Kid comes across Kaito dressed also as Kaitou Kid. Kid tries to startle Kaito using a magic trick that makes his body disappear, but Kaito hiding behind his Poker Face manages to see through the trick and reveal [Konosuke Jii](/wiki/Konosuke_Jii "Konosuke Jii") as Kid.
Jii realizes that the other Kid is none other than Kaito, Toichi's son, and explains to him that Toichi's death was no accident. Kaito then discovers that his father was the original Kaitou Kid. Kaito then decides to help Jii escape the police and takes over the role of Kaitou Kid. Kaito escapes from the police with the stolen gem using his own magic trick.

The next day, Kaito is still holding onto the jewel when Aoko approaches him with a gigantic fish, having discovered from Kaito's mother that Kaito has severe ichthyophobia. Startled and frightened, Kaito drops the stolen gem into the fish's mouth, which Ginzo Nakamori discovers later.
