....... haaaaaaahahahahahaha wow I can only imagine how much headcanon that just ruined for you.
I must be really out of touch with my DCMK-fu 'cause I totally did not expect this to be a possibility (which in retrospect is kind of silly, she was married to Toichi....), but I kind of really love it. I WANT MORE THIEF ANTICS BETWEEN THEM TWO NOW.
I expected it after it was pretty heavily hinted at in the Ryoma chapter a year-ish or so ago, so it doesn't surprise me, and I still have very mixed feelings toward it in general (somewhere between "nrrrrrrrrrr whyyyyyyyyyyy Goshoooooo" and "OKAY THIS COULD BE FUN TO PLAY WITH"). But mostly I just want more antics between the two too because THAT DYNAMIC.
I just picture Kaito headdesking over her SO MUCH now. SO MUCH WONDERING WHY HIS FAMILY IS SO ABNORMAL.
And then realizing he's actually pretty cool with this abnormality so :V
Man, just imagine THAT reveal. I mean, clearly Kaito didn't know about all the thief-antics in his family until he discovered his father was Kid. His mother must have had one day of massive nostalgic story-telling at some point...
Ohman, I bet there was tons of nostalgia and baaaaaw going on between them when he eventually figured out the whole story (I kind of like the idea of him finding out about them separately-- Toichi first, and then Chikage much later). And I'm sure after he knew about them both he just kind of siiiiighed in resignation and started wondering if this Kid thing was a part of his destiny all along... |D
FLEXIBILITY IS DEF. IMPORTANT WITH ONGOING CANON, especially this one, since there are like 1239458+ plot points we still don't have the answers to /o\
It doooooes 8( And man, Chikage must have spent those eight years after Toichi's death very anxious about Kaito discovering the thief secrets too, since I'm sure she would have predicted that he'd take up the mantle in order to find answers (answers that she probably could have given him but HEY, the Kuroba family seems to be big on keeping secrets). I wouldn't be surprised if she's anxious about his antics now since Kaitou Kid is a dangerous gig :(a
... though not anxious enough not to dump her work on him, apparently, ffffft. I will never get over THAT DYNAMIC.
Well, she did do all of the research already and she knew the character type of the criminals she wanted him to nab. And of course he's his father's son (he's only more awkward, I think, because lololol teenage boy when he starts this gig vs Toichi's starting it like at least half a decade later (also Toichi is just that suave, man)), so obviously things should go off without a hitch. The Phantom Lady does not make mistakes~ (unless Toichi is around, apparently, since. handcuffs--btw, did you see this image? new headcanon: this was a forever kink for Kaito's parents-- /shot)
Though it would be interesting to see how Chikage feels/thinks about Kaito diving headfirst into the whole thing. Clearly, she's overseas during this chapter and apparently, it's a regular thing but if we go with earlier canon (I say she dyes her hair 8|a) she's also at home enough to poke at Kaito (lolol).
... man, if Yukiko was Toichi's student though, imagine Yukiko-Chikage interaction.
SHE MUST BE VERY PROUD OF HER BOY, jumping head first into the Kid thing without knowing what the heck he was doing and (despite flailing) managing to hold his own with little-to-no help. I like the idea of her dumping more missions on him and him just going ".... 8|;;" at her the entire time |D
Going on super early canon, I say she started traveling sometime after Kaito picked up the mantle? :|a Probably kept in contact with Jii frequently to make sure Kaito was okay (if we go with her not telling him about Phantom Lady right away, which gives Kaito a few heists/chapters to figure out what he's doing on his own), and then maybe comes home occasionally a la the Kudos to visit? ONE DAY I'LL HAVE ALL OF THIS WORKED OUT IN MAH HEAD...
... also she totally has brunch with the Kudos whenever they're in the same country together. :V TOTALLY DOES. And Yukiko-Chikage seems to be one very deadly combination soooob

I swear I love Yukiko BUT PARENTING LESSONS WOULD NOT BE A BAD THING FOR HER TO HAVE sob

And yet after 6+ years in the fandom, I have learned to be very flexible (besides it's been a fandom theory for ages).
Still, it's rather adorable and actually kind of makes Toichi's murder a bit more bawwwwwwwww-inducing. Kid and Phantom Lady socute...
