This sort of thing is not what we need to convince the Japanese politicians that the "healthy development of youth" ordinance is a bad idea... >.>;;

What part of "kaito" don't they understand? LOL

Anyway, looking forward to the Kaito Saint Tail version of the story!

I think in any situation involving theft or something, we'd probably use an anime-related pseudonym. I know I would.

The "Lupin Corps" was an older gang; only one of the three currently arrested suspects was allegedly involved in that gang, and it was exposed in 2008.

Doing it wrong! A heist note, some disguises, magic tricks, and a hangglider or NOTHING.

COPS: Freeze! You're under arrest!
ME: U-uh...*hands behind head*
COPS: What's your name, kid?
ME: ...How about Psiren?
COPS: What?
ME: Yeah. Psiren works. You'll never take me alive, mortals! Haha! *blasts hole through wall with alchemy and escapes*

I'd say your theory proves pretty much infallible~

I'm not sure which I find worse, that the motive was that they were just bored and wanted something to do, or that they used an anime related name which reflects poorly on anime.
