Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. 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. Ai hasn't shown any romantic feelings for him, but she slightly admires his knowledge. Haibara seems to like tempting Mitsuhiko or making fun of him. She also in some episodes showed more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta. Their "love" could be called "puppy love". This pairing has a deep connection with Ayumi and Conan relationship.

* 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.

==== [[Hooligan's Labyrinth|Episode 279-280: Hooligan's Labyrinth]] ====
===Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga Volume 27 file 10 and 28 Files 1-2, Episode 212-213)===
+
* 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 shows affection for Ai. While she goes into one of her adult-like rants about something very random, such as Adam and Eve and the forbiden apple, he watches her and blushes as he does. Conan notices this and asks "What's wrong? Why are you making that face?" and he gets defensive at first but then says "Haibara-san's words are harsh but deep down she's kind, smart, mature and...very mysterious, don't you think?" Conan becomes serious and says "No, Mitsuhiko, don't choose her." Haibara hears him say this and tilts her head in confusion. (It's assumed that Conan-kun says this because he knows the REAL truth about Ai, that she's an adult and will never be interested in him. However, he could have also said it because he is also attracted to Ai and doesn't want Mitsuhiko to get in his way. Either way, he says it to spare Mitsuhiko's feelings.)
+
==== [[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 Misuhiko to come with her to go look for him. Conan gets a dark look on his face and says "Be careful, Haibara." because they are in hunting territory and humans are often mistaken for animals and shot by accident. Ai smiles in a very geniune 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 relatonship 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." (This can also be interpreted two ways. Ai could have said that to mean that she actually DOES have feelings for Mitsuhiko that may edge over just friendship and she's brushing his question off to let him know that she doesn't have to worry. Or, she could have said that in a forlorn way, meaning that she WISHES her relationship with Conan was more romantic but it can't be)

* Mitsuhiko pulls Ai to the top of the stairs with him so that they would become the empress and emperor in the photo.
  
In episode 213, Ai falls to the ground because she twisted her ankle when they were running away. Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and cuts his towel into strips to wrap it sround her ankle like a bandage. Ai is conspicuously delighted by his natural intelligence and says he is amazing. Mitsuhiko blushes and then looks down and says "Actually, I sprained my ankle when I was camping with Conan-kun once and...Conun-kun...he showed me this. He knows everything. He's the one that's amazing. I'm not even close to being like him..." Ai feels bad an after a pause she smiles and says "Stupid...the most important thing is that you have this knowledge and can use it after learing it. Right now, you're my amazing rescuer. Thank you." Mitsuhiko blushes and carries her from the mountain. The scene ends with her gazing at his reddened face intently.

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...
