Joker/Relationships

Relationships

Hachi

Hachi asking Joker if he can become his apprentice.

Hachi first met Joker when he watched Joker escape the police after stealing the Golden Elephant. They met once again when he discovered Joker was after the same treasure as him, the Dragon Gem. Hachi tells Joker that Kaneari got lost, found his ninja village and tricked the village elder into giving him the Dragon Gem. After that, his village became poorer and poorer, making the inhabitants miserable. After Joker saved him from getting injured, impressing him with a miracle, and letting him take the Dragon Gem back to his village, Hachi asks Joker to let him become his apprentice. Although Joker denied it at first, he ended up giving in after tasting Hachi's cooking. Ever since then Hachi has helped Joker in his various thefts around the world. Even though he won't admit it, Joker values his partnership with Hachi and like wise for Hachi. Joker stole a top class frying pan for Hachi from Kaneari's Golden Express so he can make some "delicious meals". When Hachi tells Joker he is going back home, Joker frantically tries to apologize to Hachi thinking that he was leaving permanently. In 'Death Game at Moonlight Castle," Joker got teary eyed when he thought Hachi was eaten by cats. In the manga Hachi apologizes to Joker for being useless during one of their heists. Joker then says "Idiot, I've never thought of you as useless. Not to

mention... If you weren't around I would never get to eat your delicious meals!". Joker even asks Hachi if he wants to go back to his family and looks relieved when Hachi tells him "My place is here! Besides I can visit my family anytime." In season 4, Hachi took a bullet protecting Joker from the sniper Gunma. Joker then holds Hachi and begins crying tremendously as Hachi tells him about his dream of being a great Phantom Theif like Joker until he loses consciousness. Joker tells Phoenix that Hachi is like family to him and without him stealing treasures meant nothing. After Phoenix healed Hachi, Joker crushed him in a relieved embrace.

Silver Heart

Silver Heart in season three

Silver Heart is the one that inspired Joker to become a Phantom Thief after showing him a miracle. Joker then became his apprentice until he graduated and became a full fledged Phantom Thief. Joker respects Silver Heart and thinks of him as a part of his family. Joker cares for him and even cries when he thinks his past self was dead. Silver Heart also thinks of him as his own and will go to great lengths to protect him such as, shielding Joker when Professor Clover froze time and tried to shoot them. He is also the one that saved Joker after Rose blew up the bridge he was on.

Spade (King)

Spade in season three

Joker and Spade are rival Phantom Thieves that were trained under the same master. They argue and fight over almost everything especially when a treasure is involved. Despite their rivalry, they will save each other in pinch and are seen working well together when the situation calls for it. Spade is quick to help Joker (usually) when their goals are common such as, Spade suggesting they work together when they were stealing the Scarlet Heart, and in episode 6, season 1, they team up to trick Shadow Joker.

Diamond Queen

Queen is the third apprentice that trained under Silver Heart. Joker brought Queen back to her senses when

Professor Clover tricked her into thinking Silver Heart killed her parents. Even though they consider themselves rivals, Joker gets along with Queen and, unlike Spade, won't hesitate to team up with her when they end up going for the same thing. He even asks her to help him steal the "Big Wedding Bell" from Kaneari in season 3. They also team up to get the "Gaia Bird" during the Phantom Thief Olympics (Episodes 12 and 13 of season 3). In the sequal, Kaitou Shounen Jokers, Queen is revealed to have married Joker.

Roko

Roko is a genetically altered dog that trained along side Joker,Queen, and Spade. Joker first met Roko after Doubt released him from a research facility with the intent of using him to cause chaos. Not wanting this, Roko runs and escapes into a river. Meanwhile Queen,Jack, and King are fishing and end up fishing Roko out

of the river. Roko, at that point, did not have a name so Jack gave him the name "Roko" since he ate Jack's corn and loved it. After that, he came to live and train with them under Silver Heart and is now a full-fledged phantom thief dog. Joker and Roko get along and have never once argued thus far. Roko usually teams up with Queen and so far has only teamed up with Joker once, and that was when they were both after the King's Sword. Roko doesn't hesitate to team up with Joker when their goals are the same and they have a more friendly relationship then a rivalry.

Inspector Oniyama

Inspector Oniyama is a inspector that specifically goes after phantom thieves like Joker. He is ruthless and

chases Joker all over the world in an attempt to catch him with his two partners Momo and Ginko. Despite his boundless determination to catch him, Oniyama wishes to catch him fair and square, unlike Mr. Kaneari, without using underhanded means. This dedication and his strong morals have earned Oniyama Joker's respect. If the situation calls for it, Oniyama will even begrudgingly team up with Joker. He and Joker teamed up to get rid of the Wicked Foxes in order to save his daughter, Haruka, and her friend Yui. However Joker wanted "The Tiger in the Moonlight" hanging scroll in return for his help. He also teamed up with Joker in "The Ruler of Paradise"(manga) in order to bring down a group of thieves that held the entire theme park hostage. Even though they are enemies, Oniyama cares for Joker for example, he got worried and concerned for Joker when Red Scorpion poisoned him. He even seemed over joyed when Joker took the antidote and returned to full health once again. He also got depressed and even considered resigning when Joker was sent to Demon's Heaven Penitentiary. Joker has shown concern for Oniyama as well. When his daughter was kidnapped, he seemed worried about the situation and even looked insulted when Oniyama thought he stole the scroll, when in fact, it was the Wicked Foxes. His trust towards him went as far as letting Oniyama to take Dr Neo and Sniper Genma to be taken to custody after the team dealt with Jackal and dropping them off in the destroyed Devil Fang Headquarters.

Hosshi (Acrux)

Hosshi (His actual name is Acrux) is a God-Beast that Joker obtained after stealing back the "Crystal Skull Key" from Phoenix. Hosshi was originally Joker's 1000th treasure but due to Hosshi being very cat-like, he makes the ancient treasure that Pheonix is also looking for as well, it instead. Since Joker is scared of cats he tends to avoid Hosshi and freaks out when he comes into contact with him. Instead of calling him Hosshi,

(which is the name Hachi gave him) Joker calls him a "Pseudo-Cat". Joker also dislikes that he eats his treasure even though it pops out an egg with a "Guidance Stone" to lead to the ancient treasure or a object that he will eventually need in the episode. It is not clear on what Joker fully thinks of him. Hosshi seems to like Joker however.

Phoenix (Akai Tsubasa)

Phoenix promising Joker to come back and visit sometime.

Phoenix,a.k.a Akai Tsubasa, is a alien from space that got stranded on Earth along with his navigator Acrux(or Hosshi). Phoenix likes Joker's view of things and is impressed by the miracles he can create. Joker refers to Phoenix in three ways, Akai Tsubasa (Rarely), Phoenix, and yawning-jerk. Despite their bantering, Joker sees Phoenix as a strong rival (like Spade and Shadow) and refuses to lose to him. Joker was agitated at Phoenix because he couldn't figure out why he could fly, use magic and other things. After finding out that Phoenix was an alien, he shrugged it off stating it makes sense since he is an alien. At the end of season three he gives Phoenix a advance notice for his treasure. In season four, Joker saves Phoenix from drowning due to Dr. Neo trying to obtain eternal life. Phoenix in return, saves Hachi after Hachi was shot protecting Joker from Gunma. Joker, in the end, won the competition between them and even wrote his name on Phoenix's ship claiming ownership. However he let Phoenix "borrow" it after making sure he will come back to "return" it.

Shadow Joker (Cyan)

Shadow Joker's actual name is Cyan. Joker (when still in training) snuck out of Silver Heart's cabin and

Shadow Joker in season three.

accidentally ran into Cyan and Rose. When talking to them it is discovered that they are twins and Rose has magical powers (She is also known as the witch that controls time). Being devious as usual, Joker decided to switch places with Cyan and disguised himself as him, while Cyan dressed up as Joker. Silver Heart came up just as they finished and (mistaking Cyan for Joker) dragged Cyan away. Joker and Rose then headed towards her village where they would discover that the village was in flames, due to Professor Clover's minions looking for Rose. While trying to escape, Joker is shot (giving him that scar he has on his eye) and Rose is captured. Cyan then shows up and tries to get her back. However, he ends up getting shot and thrown into the river. This sends Rose into a state of shock and she uses her powers to blow up the bridge they were on. Joker was rescued by Silver Heart, who told him that they were killed and he sort of forgot all about it until Shadow showed up. Throughout season 1 and 2, Joker and Shadow are more enemies than rivals. However, if the situation calls for it, they will team up in order to achieve their goals (Such as working together to kill Medusa in season 1 episode 13). In season 3 they act more like rivals and even work together to catch a team of imposters. Shadow challenges Joker once again in season four, but Joker caught a cold and couldn't take him on in person (much to Shadow's disappointment). He also helped Joker in the final episode of season four by obtaining the last military passcode in order to stop the missiles from being fired.

Rose

Rose in season three

Rose is Shadow's twin sister and was the first of the two to befriend Joker when they first met. After saving her from Professor Clover, they remained friends and he even worked with her and Shadow in season three. Rose seems to like Joker more as a friend than a rival. However, when Joker and Shadow are competing against each other, like in the Phantom Thief Olympics, she would easily support her brother.

Hayami Kyotaro
