Episodes
1. Kid the Phantom Thief Returns
It seems the notorious Kid the Phantom Thief has returned after eight years. At first, high school student and master illusionist Kaito seeks to challenge the magic trick-wielding outlaw out of pride, but then he learns that his deceased father was actually Kid the Phantom Thief, so who is the newcomer? Kaito puts on his dad's old cape, hat, and monocle and takes to the air to get answers.
2. Blue Birthday
Kaito finds himself double-booked when a theft he announced beforehand is on the same night as Aoko's birthday party. Complicating matters is the appearance of a group of jewel-collecting thugs who may have had something to do with the murder of Kaito's father.
3. Hustler vs. Magician
Kaito goes up against a Syndicate-owned pool hall hustler to win back the Legendary Cue, a treasure once owned by Jii before he was cheated it out of it by the Syndicate boss many years ago. However, things look dire when Jii's pool hall is put on the line and Kaito apparently has no skill with the game.
