Trivia

• The Kaito Edo Boy's purpoited leaping ability is similar to the abilities attributed to Spring-Heeled Jack, an urban legend character from Victorian Era London who was said to be a vicious pervert. He is likely based upon Nezumi Kozo, the Japanese thief and folk hero from the Edo period, about 400 years ago.
• Tenko Tajima, the 36-year-old actress in Magician of the Silver Sky, bears a strange resemblance with Kenzo Tajima and has the same surname ideograms. There is no official confirmation, but she could be his younger sister.
• The ambulance with license plate number 新宿 88, せ 41-67 (Shinjuku 88, Se 41-67) in the second episode is the same from The Bank Robber's Hospitalization Case.
• The production staff was about to make The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case for the next episode, but they made The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case for the next episode instead. 1 month later, the production staff made the two-part The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case for the 130th and 131st episode.
