Mitsuhiko and Haibara hearing the radio.

Relationship analysis

Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. However, Ai does not seem to reciprocate romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko, perhaps because she really much older and has had very different life experiences. While it is mostly rather disagreeable Conan, nevertheless if Ayumi shows her being in love to him; is rather stirred Ai by Mitsuhikos to feelings, and smiles not seldom if he attacks an indication that he loves them. 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 of the three ones is cleverest. 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.

Moments

Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga Volume 27 file 10 and 28 Files 1-2, Episode 212-213)

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, and 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.

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. 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.

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.

Case of the Missing Policeman's Notebook (Episode 276)

A fruitless singer wants to kill his manager. Mitsuhiko sees through the plan and can nearly solve the case. However, he makes a few mistakes, so that Conan solves the case in the end. During his conclusions though Ai smiles at Mitsuhiko, and draws the attention of his mistakes to him nicely. If Genta or Ayumi want to clear up a case, and, besides, give partly big nonsense of himself, is substantially less friendly Ai.

Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)

The first MitsuxAi scene is on he bus after the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa have just finished watching a soccer/football game. Mitsuhiko is listening to the sports results of the next game on the radio and Ai, who is uncharacteristically interested in sports in this episode, puts her head against his to listen. He jumps away, stammers and blushes while she asks slightly impatient for the score. He quickly, with a red face, reports that it is zero to zero. As Conan watches in the background, Mitsuhiko goes on to say that the star player of the team they are rooting for is still playing but is playing badly. Ai, who has some sympathy for the star player, bows her head sadly. Mitsuhiko immediately tries to comfort her but she excuses herself and walks away with Conan's eyes on her.

"The Train Scene" is sort of iffy because it can be seen as an ConanxAi scene AND a MitsuxAi scene. After Conan figures out who the killer is and the police take him away, Conan notices that Ai is missing, 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 getting on a different train. Conan fears the worst and bolts up the stairs to try to get to her before she "escapes". When he gets there, she's no where to be found and he stands there, breathing heavily, screaming her name. When he's sure she's gone, she 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 lost earlier in the episode. This is a key moment for MisuxAi because this is the first time Ai ever goes out of her way to do Mitsuhiko a spontaneous favor. However, it can also be argued that Ai sees Mitsuhiko as nothing more than a little brother or friend because as soon as she tells Conan she was actually spending her time thinking about Mitsuhiko and not him or herself, she looks down and whispers "You told me. Not to run... Not to run away from fate." He stares at her and she meets his eyes with an intense gaze. "You'll protect me, right?" she asks him. Conan nods certainly. And just like that, Mitsuhiko is forgotten!

Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest (Episode 289-290)

This episode begins as a regular day. They're all doing community exercises outdoors to mark the beginning of summer and Ai notices, with deep concern, that Mitsuhiko isn't there. Mitsuhiko, as his sister calls him, is missing. The gang travels into the mountains to find him and again Ai voices concern by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the smart and considerate one, travel this far into the mountains?" It turns out that Mitsuhiko went into the mountains to find fireflies because he overheard Ai and Ayumi talking about how pretty they were and he wanted to surprise them. When he finally caught one, he couldn't answer his phone or it would get away, he ended up risking his life just to impress Ai because there were dangerous killers roaming the mountains also. Ai is astonished when she learns this and says "You did all that for me?" He blushes and nods. Conan notes that Ai is glad, and appeals to them to it. Nevertheless, she does not answer, but turns aside. Besides, she smiles and blushes easily. During the search for Mitsuhiko Ayumi supposes that he meets another girl on the beach. Ai this doubts; at that time knows or she presumably already anticipates that Mitsuhiko is in love in them. Nevertheless, it is easily put out of tune to Ayumis supposition. It could be maybe jealous Ai?

Mountain Witch's Cutlery (Episode 481-482)

The professor tells the horror story of a mountain witch to the children the children eats. Mitsuhiko explains as a result that he protected Ai and Ayumi with his life, if this mountain witch really appears.

Ai responds to Mitsuhiko in this result for the first time with "Mitsuhiko-kun", instead of with "Tsuburaya-kun" what is very confidential in Japan.

The Vanished Policeman (Episode 483)

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? Is there something behind me?" as though someone is pulling a joke on him. Ai holds his face in her hands and says "Don't turn around. You need to keep looking at me." He stammers "Y-yes." They walk backwards until Mitsuhiko says "Haibara-san, you're hurting me." because she's grabbing his shoulders too hard. She accidentally pushes him out of surprise and he falls to the concrete and scrapes his elbow. Ai is very much anxiously around Mitsuhiko when it pushes him mistakenly to ground.
