Plot overview

File:Bourbon and Akai covered in blood.jpg

Shuichi has a flashback to himself and Bourbon covered in blood.

Scarlet Epilogue (Manga: 898; Anime: 783)

Scotch was first mentioned in Manga file 898. During the final part of the Scarlet arc Shuichi speaks to Bourbon on the phone and says "About him, I regret what happened. Even now...". In the Epilogue Shuichi mentions that Bourbon's grudge may be more deeply rooted than he thought. He has a brief flashback to himself and Bourbon covered in blood. During Bourbon and Vermouth's conversation, she mentions a male infiltrator from the Public Security Bureau (PSB) who had been killed before they could figure out his name. Bourbon tells her that his code name was "Scotch".

Masumi remembers meeting a man nicknamed Scotch

Girls Band (Manga: 937-938; Anime: TBA)

Masumi has a flashback to 4 years ago where she saw her brother Shuichi on a train platform with another man. At that time, Masumi thought that Shuichi was supposed to be in America so she approached them. Shuichi told her to go away but she made the excuse that she did not have the money to get home. While Shuichi went to go buy her a ticket, the other man pulled a guitar out of the case on his back and taught her some notes. Before Shuichi returned, a third man that looks like Rei Furuya came over and called the other man "Scotch". Masumi believed this to be a nickname rather than an indication of his race because the man looked very Japanese.

Masumi reveals to Conan, Ran, Sonoko, and Rei that her older brother Shuichi Akai is an FBI agent. Sonoko then enquirers if her brother's friend might be an FBI agent as well but Masumi denies this possibility by saying that he must have been a friend that Shuichi was meeting with while on vacation. Rei thinks to himself that Scotch was a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau (公安警察 ,Kōan Keisatsu) and that Shuichi was the one responsible for his death.

Shuichi shoots Scotch

Bourbon's Mission (Manga: 954-???; Anime: TBA)

A flashback from Rei Furuya occurs while he is daydreaming while driving around with Vermouth. He runs up the external staircase of a building while thinking of Scotch's words "I'm sorry Furuya, my PSB identity has been seen through by those people...it seems like the only route of retreat left is to the other world...goodbye Rei(Zero)". At the top of the building he finds Shuichi standing over Scotch's bullet ridden corps holding a smoking gun and saying "Traitors...should be punished accordingly...right?". He wakes up to Vermouth telling them they need to pry information out of a target and then destroy them in one swoop.

Later Conan, Subaru, Ran, and Sonoko run into "Amuro" and Azusa, who Conan thinks is Vermouth, while trying to meet up with a musician who has some connection to a Rum case from 17 years ago. Rei speaks directly to Subaru, who he doesn't realize is Shuichi in disguise due to Scarlet Showdown. Conan reacts to them casually chatting and tells Subaru that they need to leave, but he doesn't want to. The group finds that the musician is already dead. At the end of the musician case it's revealed that Scotch's death was actually a suicide itself.

Relationships analysis

Rei Furuya

Rei seems to have a strong attachment to Scotch and blames Shuichi for his death. His resentment is strong enough to continue chasing after Shuichi, even after he was told that Shuichi had been killed.

Shuichi Akai

Shuichi has been on at least one mission inside the BO with Scotch. The mission involved rifles inside base guitar cases. During a later time, he is found standing over Scotch's bullet ridden corpse while holding a handgun.

Trivia

• Gosho Aoyama revealed in a postcard response to a fan that Scotch is not Wataru Date when Scotch's face was unknown.
