Trick information
Series: Tobaku Haouden Zero
Trickster: Zero Ukai, Mitsuru, Yuuki, Hiroshi

When: Tobaku Haouden Zero, chapter 1

The Master Key Switch Trick is a Trick in the Tobaku Haouden Zero manga series. It is played by Zero Ukai and his friends on Sakura Suezaki's yakuza group soon before the start of the story, as explained in chapter 1.

Context

After recruiting Mitsuru, Yuuki and Hiroshi into his band of righteous thieves, Zero targets a bank deposit scam organized by Suezaki's yakuza group, with the goal of stealing the money back and returning it to the victims.

Summary

Through unknown means, Zero finds out what the key to the offices of Suezaki's group looks like, then prepares a fake key that looks identical, down to the keychain. The thieves then impersonate delivery boys from a restaurant that the yakuza ordered food from and switch the key with the fake while collecting the plates. They also plant hidden cameras and listening devices, allowing them to learn the location of Suezaki's bank card and its password when he sends his men to withdraw money. With the key and this information in hands, they enter the office in secret, steal the card and use it to withdraw the money and return it to the victims.
