Background
Soon after Akai Shuuichi's death, Kir called Jodie Starling to report that a new member of the Organization called Bourbon had been dispatched. Kir said that Bourbon's target was the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano and that Bourbon has excellent information gathering skills and keen insight.[1]
Personality
Gin says Bourbon has a secretive personality like Vermouth, and that no one can ever guess what he up to or what he will do.[2] Gin and Bourbon probably don't get along and they don't seem to communicate with one another.[2] Vodka says that Bourbon hates Shuuichi Akai even more than Gin does, although a reason for this hatred is not given.[2] Bourbon believes he is the only person capable of killing Akai.[2]
Mission
Originally Kir said that Bourbon's target was the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. Another possibility is that Bourbon's mission was to investigate Akai's death to make sure there were no tricks. Bourbon doesn't believe Akai is dead, so it makes sense that Bourbon would want to investigate to see if the real Akai is alive.[2]
Plot Overview
After hearing that Bourbon is on the move, Conan looks concerned, but doesn't tell Haibara about him.[3]
Identity
Bourbon's identity has not been officially revealed yet.
Gender
Kir uses the masculine only term "kare" (彼) to refer to Bourbon instead of a gender neutral term, but it is unknown if she has met Bourbon in person.[2] So far all the Black Organization codenames for men are liquors while women's codenames are wine or wine-based cocktails. Bourbon should be a man if this pattern holds.
Okiya Subaru
It has been hinted that Bourbon may be Subaru Okiya.
Scar Akai
There is speculation that Bourbon is disguised as scar Akai and is trying to find out if the real Akai is alive by appearing before the FBI agents and watching their reactions to him.
Relationship analysis
Bourbon and Akai Shuuichi
Bourbon despises Shuuichi Akai for some unknown reason and believes he is the only one capable of killing him.[2]
