Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. However, although Ai is kind to him, she does not seem to reciprocate romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko, perhaps because she is really much older and has had very different life experiences. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his courage during critical situations and respects his feelings. She, in some episodes, also shows more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta.{{citation needed}} A recurring element in Mitsuhiko and Ai's relationship is Conan.

Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. However, although Ai is kind to him, she does not seem to reciprocate romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko, perhaps because she really much older and has had very different life experiences. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. She also in some episodes showed more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta. Ai is often irritated by the childish behavior of the Detective Boys. However, in this regard she clearly has more problems with Ayumi and Genta, because Mitsuhiko is cleverest of the three. A reoccurring element in the MitsuxAi relationship is Conan; he is usually secretly observing their "moments" and poking fun at Ai interest in Mitsuhiko while she rolls her eyes and makes some ironically comment.

* This is the first time that Mitsuhiko starts showing affection for Haibara. He blushes after she explained about the legend regarding apple being the forbidden fruit. When asked by Conan why he made such a strange expression, Mitsuhiko answers that he was just looking at Haibara, as he is amazed by her intelligence, mature personalities, and mysteriousness. However, the boy gets embarrassed and denies that he has feelings for her. Conan then warns him that Haibara is not the right choice for him, since "she'll be too difficult to deal with".
 +
* Later, when the group's spreading out to search for Genta who got lost, Haibara chooses Mitsuhiko as her partner, much to his surprise. Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko is concerned about the way Haibara and Conan usually discuss in private, about things that normal children don't understand, and wonders whether there is some kind of relationship between the two. However, Haibara states with a serious look that her relationship with Conan "is not as romantic as it seems".

* When Ai falls to the ground after twisting her ankle, Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and aids her by cutting his towel into strips to wrap around her ankle, just like a bandage. She is conspicuously delighted by his natural intelligence and compliments him. Mitsuhiko blushes and answers modestly that he actually learned this technique from Conan. The boy then sadly comments on how smart and knowledgeable Conan is and the fact that he can't compare himself to the young detective. Unexpected to Mitsuhiko, Haibara smiles and tells him:
 +
{{cquote|How silly... The most important thing is that you have this knowledge and know how to use it after learning. Right now, you're my most outstanding rescuer. Thank you for your help...}}
 +
* Mitsuhiko shyly blushes because of Haibara's compliments. They stand up and continue walking, with Mitsuhiko gently supports and carries her away while smiling in happiness. It is implied that Haibara's aware of his feelings for her, as she stares at his reddened face silently.

* On the ride home at the end of the case, when Haibara comments that she hates how people go over board for the sake of animals, Mitsuhiko is disheartened but is cheered up by Ayumi's more positive outlook. Haibara observes them discreetly, revealing a gentle smile. Conan notices this and smirks at Haibara, as he knows that the real reason behind her comment was to dissuade any more feelings of admiration from Mitsuhiko. Haibara realizing that Conan had caught on, blushes and she defensively asks him what he was looking at.

* On the train, when Mitsuhiko is listening to the result of the game, Haibara leans her head right next to his in order to listen to the radio. Mitsuhiko constantly blushes as she questions him about the status of the game and whether the player [[Ryusuke Higo]] is still on the field, to which he answers awkwardly. Haibara then asks him to let her know if the match starts again, and Mitsuhiko agrees with his face still red.
 +
* At the end of the case, Haibara leaves the group and Conan suspects that she's trying to depart away from them all by taking another train. However, it turns out that she has been looking for Mitsuhiko's lost portable radio this whole time.

This is the first episode that Mitsuhiko starts to show affection for Ai. In fact, it appears to hit rather quickly. As she is speaking to Ayumi, Genta and Agasa in one of her adult-like explanations regarding the apple being the forbidden fruit of Adam and Eve, causing them to be banished from the garden of Eden by God, as well as the apple being able to analyze good and evil, he's struck by her words and blushes. Conan notices this and asks "What's wrong? What's with the weird look?" and Mitsuhiko gets defensive at first, stating "I'm not making a weird face!" He seems to give in and answers with "I was just looking at her." Directing their attention to Ai. Mitsuhiko continues speaking about her then, saying "Haibara-san's words are harsh but she's really pleasant, smart, and mature. Don't you think she's mysterious?" Growing embarrassed Mistuhiko tries to cover up his words by stating "B-but, just because, it's not like..." Conan's face grows serious as he places a hand on either side of Mitsuhiko's shoulders, replying with "Well, Mitsuhiko, I won't say anything mean, but don't choose her. She'll be too difficult to deal with." Haibara hears him say this and blinks in confusion at the two.

==== [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]] ====
 +
* When the Detective Boys find out that Mitsuhiko is leaving the city and track him down to a mountainous area in Gunma, Haibara voices her concern about his sudden and secret travel, wondering what could possibly have prompted him into having such behaviors, as Mitsuhiko has always been the serious and considerate one.
 +
* It later turns out that Mitsuhiko went into the mountains to catch fireflies because he had overheard Ai and Ayumi talking about how pretty they were, and wanted to surprise the girls, as fireflies are symbols of summer that you can't find in the city. However, when he has finally caught one, he realizes that he must hold it with both hands, and thus unable to answer to Conan's call via the detective badge. Despite this, Mitsuhiko didn't give it up for the sake of Ai and Ayumi. Earlier, even after hearing Conan's warning that there was a serial killer nearby and that he needed to contact them immediately, Mitsuhiko refused to let go of the firefly and chose to run away from [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] instead.<ref>[[Volume 35|Volume 35, File 360, Page 9]]</ref> Ai, along with Ayumi, is astonished when she learns this and asks "You did all that for us?". They express their appreciation, while Mitsuhiko blushes and smiles happily.
 +
* At the end of the episode, Ayumi mentions to Haibara the sighting of a legendary animal, called [[wikipedia:Tsuchinoko|Tsuchinoko]]. Both girls mention how they would like to see it. Mitsuhiko and Genta begin plotting ways to go find this creature and show it to the girls, even though this is seemingly impossible.
  
−
Later in the episode, Genta gets lost while they are searching for a certain kind of mushroom and Ai makes Conan pair up with Ayumi and tells Mitsuhiko to come with her to go look for him. Conan gets a dark look on his face and says "Be careful, Haibara." as they are in hunting territory and humans are often mistaken for animals and shot by accident. Ai smiles in a very genuine way and says "Thank you for worrying about me." Conan scoffs and says "Whatever." Mitsuhiko feels left out and looks from one to the other repeatedly. When they start searching, Mitsuhiko remembers this and asks "What is your relationship with Conan?" when she gives him a confused look he goes on to say "You two often go off into a corner and talk about things normal children don't understand. It's like you two only understand each other...like you're in your own little world." Ai brushes him off and says "You're wrong. It's not as romantic as it seems."

In episode 213, Ai falls to the ground after twisting her ankle when they were running away from what they thought at the time was someone intentionally trying to shoot them.[[File:Episode213.PNG|thumb|right|]] Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and cuts his towel into strips to wrap it around her ankle like a bandage. Ai is conspicuously delighted by his natural intelligence and exclaims to Mitsuhiko "Wow, that's amazing!" Mitsuhiko blushes and then looks down saying "Actually, I sprained my ankle when I was camping with Conan-kun once and...Conan-kun...he showed me this. He knows everything. He's amazing. He's also a great leader. I'm not even close to being like him..." After a pause Haibara smiles and says "Stupid...the most important thing is that you have this knowledge and can use it after learning it. Right now, you're my outstanding rescuer. Thank you for your help." She nods with a pleased expression when Mitsuhiko blushes and stammers "Ah, n-no. I'm embarrassed by the way you said that!" When he stands to continue, Mitsuhiko supports Ai and carries her from the mountain. The scene ends with her gazing at his reddened face intently.

* Mitsuhiko suggests, while blushing, that when they discover a new comet, it should be named after himself, Haibara, and Ayumi. He later adds he finds romantic that his initials, Haibara's and Ayumi's can be formed with the same number of cigarettes.

On the ride home at the end of the episode, Haibara is sitting in the front while the rest are in the back, discussing what had happened. When Mistuhiko comments about Jubei ((The female bear)) and Matasaburo Saika being friends for 20 years, thus explaining why he was willing to kill to save her, Haibara shoots him down, stating "When an animal lovers goes this far, it's rather annoying." Visibly hurt, he sits down and talks with Ayumi, who picks up the conversation with him. When Mistuhiko is no longer looking at Haibara, she turns and watches him, letting out a small smile. Conan notices this and smirks at her smugly, causing Ai to blush and reply in anger with "What are you looking at?" He simply says "Nothing." and leaves her to look away in spite.

* The Detective Boys look for a missing girl who is said to resemble Ai. Ayumi says that the girl is popular among the girls but not among the boys in her class. Mitsuhiko, however, blushes and says that Ai is liked even by boys. When Ai hears this, she turns around to Mitsuhiko, smiles at him and thanks. Then, after Conan has lent his cap to her, Mitsuhiko, probably wishing to compliment her, enthusiastically says it makes her look really boyish.

The episode begins with the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa having just finished watching a soccer/football game between the Tokyo Spirits and Noir Tokyo. On the train back Mitsuhiko is listening to the sports results of the next game on the radio and Ai puts her head against his to listen. He  notices how close she is and blushes, stammering "Ha...Haibara-san." Turning to face him, Ai asks "How is the game?". With a bright red face Mitsuhiko manages to say "Uh, y-yeah." and reports that the game is still zero to zero, saying that they had just got into the first half of the overtime period. Conan takes notice  of the two when Haibara asks if number 9 from Big Osaka ((A player by the name of Ryusuke Higo)) is still on the field. With a nervous swallow and the blush still across his face, Mitsuhiko manages to say "Higo is still playing. But the booing makes it harder for people on his side to pass the ball to him." Haibara looks to the ground as he says this, whispering "Oh." Concerned for her, Mitsuhiko stares at Ai sadly and says "Um, Haibara-san?" Before he could speak more, Haibara glances up at him and states "Well, please let me know if anything happens." Excited by her request Mitsuhiko replies "Yes, of course!"

At the end of episode 279, Haibara leaves the group pretending to have to use the restroom. After Conan solves the murder in episode 280, and the police take him away, Genta remarks that Haibara is slow to return. Mitsuhiko and the others don't know where she is until they notice her standing on the platform on the other side of the train tracks like she's going to get on a different train. Conan fears the worst and bolts up the stairs to try to get to her before she leaves. When he's on the other side, she's no where to be found. Conan pauses to catch his breath, and screams her name. Haibara appears behind him and says "Why are you shouting?" Conan tries to save face but she already knows that he thought she had run away. She tells him, with slight irritation, that she was just searching for Mitsuhiko's portable radio that he had lost earlier in the episode.

As Haibara approaches the trio, she accidentally grabs his shoulders too hard and ends up making him fall to the ground, scratching his elbow.

During Haibara's remarks that the serial killer is an ex Black Organization member, and how she couldn't sense him like she normally could, most likely due to living such a peaceful life now; Conan suddenly remarks with "That's good!" This surprises Ai. Conan goes on to say "That means you're finally being able to live a normal life, doesn't it?" Then he states that they shouldn't waste anymore time, and continue looking for Mitsuhiko. As Conan turns to walk away, he finishes by saying to Haibara, "After all, he's a crazy guy who wants to see you and Ayumi-chan smile." Completely surprised by this, Ai questions "Yoshida-san and I?"

She puts her hands on is shoulders and says "Stay like that and walk backwards. That's all I need." Mitsuhiko blushes and then says "Walk backwards?

Latest revision as of 12:53, 28 August 2021

Mitsuhiko and Haibara hearing the radio.

Relationship analysis

Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. However, although Ai is kind to him, she does not seem to reciprocate romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko, perhaps because she is really much older and has had very different life experiences. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his courage during critical situations and respects his feelings. She, in some episodes, also shows more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta.[citation needed] A recurring element in Mitsuhiko and Ai's relationship is Conan. He usually secretly observes their "moments" and pokes fun at Ai's interest in Mitsuhiko while she replies with some sarcastic comments.

Moments

Manga/Anime

Episode 212-213: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys

  • This is the first time that Mitsuhiko starts showing affection for Haibara. He blushes after she explained about the legend regarding apple being the forbidden fruit. When asked by Conan why he made such a strange expression, Mitsuhiko answers that he was just looking at Haibara, as he is amazed by her intelligence, mature personalities, and mysteriousness. However, the boy gets embarrassed and denies that he has feelings for her. Conan then warns him that Haibara is not the right choice for him, since "she'll be too difficult to deal with".
  • Later, when the group's spreading out to search for Genta who got lost, Haibara chooses Mitsuhiko as her partner, much to his surprise. Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko is concerned about the way Haibara and Conan usually discuss in private, about things that normal children don't understand, and wonders whether there is some kind of relationship between the two. However, Haibara states with a serious look that her relationship with Conan "is not as romantic as it seems".

  • When Ai falls to the ground after twisting her ankle, Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and aids her by cutting his towel into strips to wrap around her ankle, just like a bandage. She is conspicuously delighted by his natural intelligence and compliments him. Mitsuhiko blushes and answers modestly that he actually learned this technique from Conan. The boy then sadly comments on how smart and knowledgeable Conan is and the fact that he can't compare himself to the young detective. Unexpected to Mitsuhiko, Haibara smiles and tells him:
“ How silly... The most important thing is that you have this knowledge and know how to use it after learning. Right now, you're my most outstanding rescuer. Thank you for your help... „
  • Mitsuhiko shyly blushes because of Haibara's compliments. They stand up and continue walking, with Mitsuhiko gently supports and carries her away while smiling in happiness. It is implied that Haibara's aware of his feelings for her, as she stares at his reddened face silently.
  • On the ride home at the end of the case, when Haibara comments that she hates how people go over board for the sake of animals, Mitsuhiko is disheartened but is cheered up by Ayumi's more positive outlook. Haibara observes them discreetly, revealing a gentle smile. Conan notices this and smirks at Haibara, as he knows that the real reason behind her comment was to dissuade any more feelings of admiration from Mitsuhiko.

However, when he has finally caught one, he realizes that he must hold it with both hands, and thus unable to answer to Conan's call via the detective badge. Despite this, Mitsuhiko didn't give it up for the sake of Ai and Ayumi. Earlier, even after hearing Conan's warning that there was a serial killer nearby and that he needed to contact them immediately, Mitsuhiko refused to let go of the firefly and chose to run away from Ki'ichiro Numabuchi instead.[1] Ai, along with Ayumi, is astonished when she learns this and asks "You did all that for us?".
