Despite being completely silent, this has some of the most fun and zany personalities of any piece of animation I've seen on KZbin in a long while. None of the facial expressions are overdone or exaggerated, but they still convey emotions perfectly. It maybe cuts a bit too frequently from scene to scene to the point it's hard to follow it, but that's honestly the fast-paced action of it all, so I can excuse that. Otherwise, basically perfect. We don't deserve pieces of animation this good for free, and yet here we are.

But not for long, I'll be rollin' place to place, Won't stop till I win the race, Although I may have crossed the line, No time to waste on you I don't plan on slowing down, No, I'll keep on going, Even if you think I'm in the wrong, Just know that Although I may not think everything through, I don't take back what I say or regret what I do, I know that some stay in line and they stick to the plan, But if you leave it to me, I'll do whatever I can Cause I, Know that's what I'm here for, I don't wanna wait around anymore, Even if you can't see, The good inside me I don't have the time to tell you, Why I do the things that I do, Just please hold on, and soon you'll see, That I'm not the villian I appear to be Movin' along, no I won't settle down Until I'm locked behind bars or I'm kicked outta town So you can keep on a runnin' around and around But you will never quite catch up to me And I know you Think I'm crazy But I hope that maybe Now you'll see why I had to try

Saved a heist from happening* Not my idea! master of the internetverse 's. Please go check him out! `I have a theory/headcanon: The cops and "detective" are the bad guys. Here is a list of evidence as well as timestamps so you can see them for yourself. 0:33 the cops and "detective" (henceforth called C and D respectively) arrive before a crime is commited. 1:00 D recognizes Diamond Jack (henceforth known as DJ) 1:58 D knows not to hold it by the top, otherwise DJ (and part of the "diamond") would fall. 2:34 when D catches the "diamond" the first thing he does is open it. As shown earlier (2:17) it's difficult to open it, yet D does, instead of giving up and thinking they won. And last but not least, 2:53 even after seeing that DJ saved their lives and their city, C and D still pin her to the ground. All of these show to me that D and C are evil, trying to destroy the city. DJ is (in my headcanon) the old Partner In Crime to D, but left him when she found out what his plan was. Once D went through with it, DJ stole the false diamond and got rid of it, saving the city.`
