== 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, 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.

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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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, while Ayumi explains to Genta about radio exercising and fireworks are some of the only symbols of summer that haven't disappeared over time. Ai suddenly states "Speaking of disappearing...Tsubaraya-kun isn't here today either.", being the first of the group to note that Mitsuhiko isn't present. It seems he has been gone for a few days already.

Later that day the Detective Boys and Agasa go to Mitsuhiko's house to check on him. Mit-chan, as his sister calls him, says that he was going camping after the exercises, and is surprised to hear that he wasn't with the Detective Boys already. She also mentions how excited he seemed to be. The gang begins an investigation into the whereabouts of Mitsuhiko, following his tracks, and leading them into a forest located in the mountains. Ai voices concern then by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the serious and considerate one...Turn his back on us for the first time and travel this far into the mountains?" The end of episode 289 shows that Mitsuhiko is now lost in the forest.

In episode 290, it begins with the Detective Boys desperately looking for Mitsuhiko in the forest where it is now known a serial killer has escaped. 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?" Before he could reveal why Mitsuhiko was in the forest in the first place, they hear the beeping of a Detective badge in the distance. The serial killer approaches with Mitsuhiko, but let's him go and easily walks off with the police, seemingly content.

In the end 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 wanted to surprise them. When he finally caught one, he couldn't answer his detective badge or it would get away. It was a symbol of summer that you couldn't find in the city. One he overheard Ayumi and Ai stating they would like to see. Mitsuhiko ended up risking his life just to impress Ai because there was a dangerous killer roaming the mountains. Ai is astonished when she learns this and says "You did all that for us?" Referring to Ayumi and her. She goes up to Mitsuhiko and quietly says "Thank you." It seems his actions honestly impressed her. The night is suddenly filled with the glowing lights of fireflies, and everyone observes, even the serial killer, who perhaps lied about a buried body in the forest to come see the fireflies one last time.

The very last of the episode has Ayumi mentioning to Haibara about the tv broadcast sighting of a legendary animal, called Tsuchinoko. Both girls mention how they would like to see it, while Genta and Mitsuhiko listen from behind. The two boys then begin plotting ways to go find this creature to show Ayumi and Ai, leaving Conan to think to himself "Here we go again."

The Detective Boys are looking for a missing girl who looks a lot like Ai . Ayumi says that the girl is popular among the girls but not among boys in her class. Mitsuhiko, however, blushes and says that boys like her too. When Ai this hears, she turns round to Mitsuhiko, smiles at him and thanks.

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

Later Ai shows Genta special attention when he falls in the snow and gets a nosebleed. Ai uses tissue to stop his nose from bleeding and holds his face while telling him to be careful next time. Mitsuhiko watches Ai walk away, blushes and exclaims "I'm so jealous of you, Genta-kun!"

===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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

She suspects that one of the three is a Black Org. member. To get a better look at them, she asks Mitsuhiko to do her a favor. 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.

After decoding the letter, Conan goes to meet the Phantom Thief face to face at a rooftop of a hotel. He lights a firework hoping that the cops would come and arrest Phantom but to his surprise Phantom imitates the captain's voice and calls all of the captain's men to the rooftop. Just when it looks like the Phantom is cornered he escapes with a blast bomb but before he leaves theres another note and another clue.

This time the note states that he will board a ship that is carrying the Black Star. While last time was a test run this time he will actually steal the Black Star. To try and prevent this devises a plan. She has given all the guests a fake Black Star replica in hopes that Kaitou Kid won't be able to figure it out before the cruise ends. Sonoko can't find her sister so she calls her and finds out that her sister and dad are still at home. This means that the Shiro Suzuki they just saw had to be the Kaitou Kid in disguise.

Tomoko brings in a magician to put on a show but Kaitou Kid then drops another letter. Fake Black Stars start exploding and the guests start panicking. Thats when he steals the real Black Star which Tomoko was wearing the whole time. Conan on the other hand has figured out where and who the Kaitou Kid is.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan tells Ran he knows who Kaitou Kid is and asks her to accompany him to a secluded area on board the ship. He then reveals that only Ran had the opportunity to steal the black star and that Ran is the phantom in disguise all along. Kaitou Kid-as-Ran still tries to continue his act by saying theres no way that he would know which star was the real one. However, Conan says that Tomoko gave away the answer when she described the pearl to Kogoro as having a peacock color (her middle name is "peacock"). Also the way she handled the pearl and the fact that it was duller due to age. This is why he didn't steal it at the museum: that one was shiny, making it a fake.

Kaitou Kid comes clean and hands Conan back the pearl, after Conan destroys the phone so he couldnt pull the same trick again. Conan reveals that Kaitou Kid escaped last time by disguising himself as a cop and blending in, but he can stop him now...

Right when Conan is about to use his powered shoes and a ball to try hitting Kaitou Kid, he tells Conan that he took Ran's dress and she might freeze outside in the lifeboat (where he hid her)... since he left her naked. He drops another blast bomb and escapes. Conan decides to go to Ran instead, fearing she'd get sick or be found naked... but finds out Kaitou Kid never took her clothes and she's fully dressed. Before the event on the ship, Ran had her dress dry cleaned and the guy who picked up the dress was Kaitou Kid under a busboy disguise; he then made a duplicate of the dress before handing Ran hers.

The next day, Conan makes the headlines as the "protector" of the Black Star Pearl, and he's not really thrilled with it. Sonoko tries to make him describe Kaitou Kid physically... and meanwhile, Kaito and Aoko walk together to their school, not too far from them. A rather unhappy Kaito Kuroba has caught a cold due to having had to jump into the cold sea water to escape from Conan, and Aoko calls him an idiot since she think he fell by accident.

== 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.

===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, 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.

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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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, while Ayumi explains to Genta about radio exercising and fireworks are some of the only symbols of summer that haven't disappeared over time. Ai suddenly states "Speaking of disappearing...Tsubaraya-kun isn't here today either.", being the first of the group to note that Mitsuhiko isn't present. It seems he has been gone for a few days already.

Later that day the Detective Boys and Agasa go to Mitsuhiko's house to check on him. Mit-chan, as his sister calls him, says that he was going camping after the exercises, and is surprised to hear that he wasn't with the Detective Boys already. She also mentions how excited he seemed to be. The gang begins an investigation into the whereabouts of Mitsuhiko, following his tracks, and leading them into a forest located in the mountains. Ai voices concern then by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the serious and considerate one...Turn his back on us for the first time and travel this far into the mountains?" The end of episode 289 shows that Mitsuhiko is now lost in the forest.

In episode 290, it begins with the Detective Boys desperately looking for Mitsuhiko in the forest where it is now known a serial killer has escaped. 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?" Before he could reveal why Mitsuhiko was in the forest in the first place, they hear the beeping of a Detective badge in the distance. The serial killer approaches with Mitsuhiko, but let's him go and easily walks off with the police, seemingly content.

In the end 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 wanted to surprise them. When he finally caught one, he couldn't answer his detective badge or it would get away. It was a symbol of summer that you couldn't find in the city. One he overheard Ayumi and Ai stating they would like to see. Mitsuhiko ended up risking his life just to impress Ai because there was a dangerous killer roaming the mountains. Ai is astonished when she learns this and says "You did all that for us?" Referring to Ayumi and her. She goes up to Mitsuhiko and quietly says "Thank you." It seems his actions honestly impressed her. The night is suddenly filled with the glowing lights of fireflies, and everyone observes, even the serial killer, who perhaps lied about a buried body in the forest to come see the fireflies one last time.

The very last of the episode has Ayumi mentioning to Haibara about the tv broadcast sighting of a legendary animal, called Tsuchinoko. Both girls mention how they would like to see it, while Genta and Mitsuhiko listen from behind. The two boys then begin plotting ways to go find this creature to show Ayumi and Ai, leaving Conan to think to himself "Here we go again."

===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.

== 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)===

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.

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."

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.

== 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, 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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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, while Ayumi explains to Genta about radio exercising and fireworks are some of the only symbols of summer that haven't disappeared over time. Ai suddenly states "Speaking of disappearing...Tsubaraya-kun isn't here today either.", being the first of the group to note that Mitsuhiko isn't present. It seems he has been gone for a few days already.

Later that day the Detective Boys and Agasa go to Mitsuhiko's house to check on him. Mit-chan, as his sister calls him, says that he was going camping after the exercises, and is surprised to hear that he wasn't with the Detective Boys already. She also mentions how excited he seemed to be. The gang begins an investigation into the whereabouts of Mitsuhiko, following his tracks, and leading them into a forest located in the mountains. Ai voices concern then by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the serious and considerate one...Turn his back on us for the first time and travel this far into the mountains?" The end of episode 289 shows that Mitsuhiko is now lost in the forest.

In episode 290, it begins with the Detective Boys desperately looking for Mitsuhiko in the forest where it is now known a serial killer has escaped. 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?" Before he could reveal why Mitsuhiko was in the forest in the first place, they hear the beeping of a Detective badge in the distance. The serial killer approaches with Mitsuhiko, but let's him go and easily walks off with the police, seemingly content.

In the end 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 wanted to surprise them. When he finally caught one, he couldn't answer his detective badge or it would get away. It was a symbol of summer that you couldn't find in the city. One he overheard Ayumi and Ai stating they would like to see. Mitsuhiko ended up risking his life just to impress Ai because there was a dangerous killer roaming the mountains. Ai is astonished when she learns this and says "You did all that for us?" Referring to Ayumi and her. She goes up to Mitsuhiko and quietly says "Thank you." It seems his actions honestly impressed her. The night is suddenly filled with the glowing lights of fireflies, and everyone observes, even the serial killer, who perhaps lied about a buried body in the forest to come see the fireflies one last time.

The very last of the episode has Ayumi mentioning to Haibara about the tv broadcast sighting of a legendary animal, called Tsuchinoko. Both girls mention how they would like to see it, while Genta and Mitsuhiko listen from behind. The two boys then begin plotting ways to go find this creature to show Ayumi and Ai, leaving Conan to think to himself "Here we go again."

===Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun (Episode 312-313)===
Mitsuhiko ask/pulled Ai to go to the top of the stairs with him to be the empress and emperor of the photo.

===A Code of Stars and Tobacco (Episode 374-375)===

===The Super Secret Road to School (Episode 427-428)===

The Detective Boys are looking for a missing girl who looks a lot like Ai . Ayumi says that the girl is popular among the girls but not among boys in her class. Mitsuhiko, however, blushes and says that boys like her too. When Ai this hears, she turns round to Mitsuhiko, smiles at him and thanks.

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

Later Ai shows Genta special attention when he falls in the snow and gets a nosebleed. Ai uses tissue to stop his nose from bleeding and holds his face while telling him to be careful next time. Mitsuhiko watches Ai walk away, blushes and exclaims "I'm so jealous of you, Genta-kun!"

===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. As a result Ai says smiling (and also slightly ironically) that she feels honoured that he can be eaten at her place. In the course of the action Mitsuhiko is very obliging to Ai and Ayumi. 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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

===Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys (Episode 509)===

An apartment is burned down and three of the residences are suspected as the arsonists. While Conan tries to figure out who the culprit is, Ai holds onto him freaking out about her "sixth sense" with the members of the Black Organization. She suspects that one of the three is a Black Org. member. To get a better look at them, she asks Mitsuhiko to do her a favor. 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.

Ai voices concern then by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the serious and considerate one...Turn his back on us for the first time and travel this far into the mountains?" The end of episode 289 shows that Mitsuhiko is now lost in the forest.

In episode 290, it begins with the Detective Boys desperately looking for Mitsuhiko in the forest where it is now known a serial killer has escaped. 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?" Before he could reveal why Mitsuhiko was in the forest in the first place, they hear the beeping of a Detective badge in the distance. The serial killer approaches with Mitsuhiko, but let's him go and easily walks off with the police, seemingly content.

In the end 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 wanted to surprise them. When he finally caught one, he couldn't answer his detective badge or it would get away. It was a symbol of summer that you couldn't find in the city. Mitsuhiko ended up risking his life just to impress Ai because there was a dangerous killer roaming the mountains. Ai is astonished when she learns this and says "You did all that for us?" Referring to Ayumi and her. The night is suddenly filled with the glowing lights of fireflies, and everyone observes, even the serial killer, who perhaps lied about a buried body in the forest to come see the fireflies one last time.

The very last of the episode has Ayumi mentioning to Haibara about the tv broadcast sighting of a legendary animal, called Tsuchinoko. Both girls mention how they would like to see it, while Genta and Mitsuhiko listen from behind. The two boys then begin plotting ways to go find this creature to show Ayumi and Ai, leaving Conan to think to himself "Here we go again."

== 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, 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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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, while Ayumi explains to Genta about radio exercising and fireworks are some of the only symbols of summer that haven't disappeared over time. Ai suddenly states "Speaking of disappearing...Tsubaraya-kun isn't here today either.", being the first of the group to note that Mitsuhiko isn't present. It seems he has been gone for a few days already.

Later that day the Detective Boys and Agasa go to Mitsuhiko's house to check on him. Mit-chan, as his sister calls him, says that he was going camping after the exercises, and is surprised to hear that he wasn't with the Detective Boys already. She also mentions how excited he seemed to be. The gang begins an investigation into the whereabouts of Mitsuhiko, following his tracks, and leading them into a forest located in the mountains. Ai voices concern then by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the serious and considerate one...Turn his back on us for the first time and travel this far into the mountains?" The end of episode 289 shows that Mitsuhiko is now lost in the forest.

In episode 290, it begins with the Detective Boys desperately looking for Mitsuhiko in the forest where it is now known a serial killer has escaped. 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, Ai questions "Yoshida-san and I?" Before he could reveal why Mitsuhiko was in the forest in the first place, they hear the beeping of a Detective badge in the distance. The serial killer approaches with Mitsuhiko, but let's him go and easily walks off with the police, seemingly content.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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, while Ayumi explains to Genta about radio exercising and fireworks are some of the only symbols of summer that haven't disappeared over time. Ai suddenly states "Speaking of disappearing...Tsubaraya-kun isn't here today either.", being the first of the group to note that Mitsuhiko isn't present. It seems he has been gone for a few days already.

Later that day the Detective Boys and Agasa go to Mitsuhiko's house to check on him. Mit-chan, as his sister calls him, says that he was going camping after the exercises, and is surprised to hear that he wasn't with the Detective Boys already. She also mentions how excited he seemed to be. The gang begins an investigation into the whereabouts of Mitsuhiko, following his tracks, leading them into the mountains in their search. Ai voices concern then by saying "What is it that made Tsuburaya-kun, the serious and considerate one...Turn his back on us for the first time and travel this far into the mountains?" The end of episode 289 shows that Mitsuhiko is now lost.

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?

===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.

Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya

== 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, 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.

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.

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!"

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, 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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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, while Ayumi explains to Genta about radio exercising and fireworks are some of the only symbols of summer that haven't disappeared over time.

It seems he has been gone for a few days already.

Later that day the Detective Boys and Agasa go to Mitsuhiko's house to check on him. Mit-chan, as his sister calls him, states that he was going camping after the exercises, and is surprised to hear that he wasn't with the Detective Boys already. She also mentions of excited he seemed to be going. 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?

== 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.

{{nihongo|'''Tooru Amuro'''|安室透|Amuro Tōru}}, known by his codename {{nihongo|'''Bourbon'''|バーボン|Baabon}}, is a member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a recently dispatched operative who specializes in deduction and intelligence gathering. He hates [[Shuichi Akai]] for some unknown reason. Amuro poses as a private detective who first appeared as a waiter while helping a client with a case, and later becomes a waiter at Café Poirot and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

==Background==
Amuro's past within the [[Black Organization]] is unknown, but it seems he has been tied to them for a while. He knew [[Shiho Miyano]]'s parents who died when Shiho was young suggesting that he has some involvement since he was a teenager.<ref name=824p5>Manga Volume 78, File 7 (824), Page 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> He was the rival of [[Shuichi Akai]] (alias Dai Moroboshi) who was [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]]'s lover at the time.<ref name=824p5/> He had suspected Dai Moroboshi was a spy for the FBI which turned out to be the case.<ref name=824p5/>

Soon after Shuichi Akai's death, [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] called [[Jodie Starling]] to report that a new member of the Black 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.<ref name=622p4>Manga Volume 60, File 3, Page 4: "Red, White and Yellow"</ref> Later Tooru Amuro appears as a free-lance private detective who also maintains employment on the side that may aid in investigation, like his part-time job as a waiter at Ristorante Sundayrino. After his introductory case, Amuro begins working part-time at [[Setting#Cafe Poirot|Café Poirot]]. He is currently [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

== Personality ==
Amuro has a cheerful personality. He is also generous, bringing a plate of sandwiches for the detective agency bought with his money. In more serious situations, he seems to be patient, keeping calm even while others are abusing him. Although somewhat of a "cool type", he does not hide his emotions and is quite expressive. Like other detectives in ''[[Detective Conan]]'', he enjoys presenting his deductions about cases to others. He is also manipulative, tricking others into performing certain actions so he can gather information. Kogoro calls him "effeminate".

[[Gin]] says Bourbon has a secretive personality like [[Vermouth]], and that no one can ever guess what he's up to or what he will do.<ref name=703p3/> [[Vodka]] says that Bourbon hates Shuichi Akai even more than Gin does, although a reason for this hatred is not given.<ref name=703p3/> Bourbon believes he is the only person capable of killing Akai.<ref name=703p3/> Gin said that if Bourbon found out Akai was alive, he would surely boast that his suspicion was correct.<ref name=703p3/> Gin and Bourbon probably don't get along and they don't seem to communicate with one another.<ref name=703p3/> It is also seen that Amuro has taken a serious interest in young [[Conan]] for reasons unknown, since there is no evidence that leads to him knowing Conan's real identity. However, it can be inferred that Amuro is beginning to unravel the mystery behind the "Sleeping [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]".

== Appearance ==
[[File:Low res Amuro colored.PNG|thumb|left|125px|Colored drawing by Gosho Aoyama]]
He has dark skin, lighter than, but closer to [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]]'s color and has dyed blond hair. He wears glasses at first, but it is unknown if he actually needs them because he was using them to conceal his identity at the time and takes them off midway through the case and has not had them on since. Unlike other Black Organization members, he dresses mostly casually and sometimes wears outfits with only a little black. This may be because he is undercover and is trying to blend in.

==Mission==
Bourbon's primary mission was to search for the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]], which the [[CIA]] spy [[Kir]] heard about and informed the [[FBI]] of. Amuro also had a second secret mission fueled by his hunch that his archenemy Shuichi Akai should not have died so easily;<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref> Amuro received [[Anokata|the boss's]] permission to verify Akai's death. He approached the FBI as [[Scar Akai|an Akai lookalike]] by using [[Vermouth]]'s disguise help hoping to see if Akai was truly dead.<ref>File 824, pg 7: "Final Destination"</ref> He later apprenticed himself to [[Kogoro Mouri]] because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry.<ref>File 827, pg 16: "The key to solving the mystery"</ref> (Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.)

Currently, Bourbon thinks Shiho has been killed,<ref>File 824, pg 12: "Final Destination"</ref> and had come to believe Akai was dead as well until a suspicious man shrouded by smoke threw a grenade by him on the [[Volume_78#Mystery_Train|Mystery Express]].<ref>File 824, pg 16: "Final Destination"</ref> The sighting caused Bourbon to second guess himself and request that Vermouth show him the detailed files from before and after Akai's death again.<ref>File 824, pg 16: "Final Destination"</ref> Bourbon has also decided to continue as Kogoro's apprentice because he noticed [[Conan]] is the real brains behind "Sleeping Kogoro" and is curious.<ref>File 827, pg 16: "The key to solving the mystery"</ref>

== Plot overview ==

=== On the move (Manga: [[Volume_60#Red.2C_White.2C_and_Yellow_Case|622]], Anime: [[Conan_vs._Double_Code_Mystery|509]])===
CIA infiltrator [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] manages to sneak away from the people watching her and report to [[Jodie Starling]] that a newly activated member called Bourbon has been dispatched to look for [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and that he is very good at deduction and intelligence gathering. Jodie passes this information onto [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. After hearing that Bourbon is on the move, Conan looks concerned, but doesn't tell [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] about him.<ref name=622p6>Manga Volume 60, File 3, Page 6: "Red, White and Yellow"</ref>

=== Scar Akai ===
:''For the chronology of Scar Akai, please see [[Scar_Akai#Plot_overview|Scar Akai's timeline]]''[[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right]]
Before Bourbon appeared as Tooru Amuro, he disguised as [[Scar Akai|Akai with a large burn]] with [[Vermouth]]'s help. In this disguise, he approached the close friends of Shuichi Akai to gauge whether he was truly dead. Bourbon first used the disguise to approach [[Jodie Starling]] at [[Teito Bank]], then [[Andre Camel]] at [[Beika Department Store]], he also sends Kogoro a text message on his deduction of the current case using a borrowed phone from a bystander. Whether he did this out of concern for the hostages or his own well being is unknown.

=== Amuro's Introduction (Manga: 793-795, Anime: 667-668) ===
Amuro is hired by to-be-bride Hatsune Kamon to investigate whether her to-be-husband, Raita Banba, is cheating on her. As part of the investigation, Amuro tells Kamon to have their pre-wedding celebration at the restaurant, Ristorante Sundayrino, where he works as a waiter. He purposefully drops some cake on Banba's pants trying to make Banba too embarrassed to approach women later. Banba complains about Amuro's "mistake", but Kamon tells Amuro it's alright to protect him. Banba later gets drunk, and Amuro has to point out his phone is ringing. [[File:Amuro_abuse.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Amuro gets knocked over by a case suspect]]Banba goes to the bathroom to meet the person who called him, the detective Sanji Haruka, who Banba hired to find out if Kamon was cheating on him. Sanji had been following the wife and discovered her meeting with Amuro, so Sanji mistakenly reports Kamon is having an affair with Amuro. Sanji confirms Amuro has a matching voice by asking Amuro to repeat his order, a bourbon on the rocks.

Banba is furious at Amuro and begins to harass him; like shouldering him and knocking Amuro over in front of the other waiters. Later Kamon dies in a car fire that is ruled an arson, and Banba accuses Amuro of starting it because he is Kamon's lover. Amuro denies this and says that Banba may have been trying to disguise wounds he received while fighting with Kamon by tripping Amuro. Amuro then takes off his glasses and reveals himself to be a private detective hired by Kamon, not her lover.

[[File:Enthusiastic apprentice.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Amuro becomes Kogoro's apprentice]]
After Amuro correctly gives his deduction that Sanji was a detective hired by Banba, Kogoro accuses Amuro of driving Kamon to suicide by telling her about her husband's shameless flirting, but Amuro denies contacting Kamon by phone. Amuro accuses Banba of being the murderer, which antagonizes Banba into to rushing him. Amuro dodges and trips Banba and asks Kogoro to hold Banba's legs. From the condition of the bottom of Banba's shoes and Amuro's detailed background investigation of Banba and Kamon, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is able to deduce that Kamon's death was really a suicide. Amuro continues to accuse Banba after more DNA evidence comes in, but Conan prevents his arrest by using [[Kogoro#Detective_Skills|Sleeping Kogoro]] to ask Banba a critical question that reveals he never stepped outside. Amuro challenges Kogoro's deduction, suggesting that maybe Banba used a [[Shuichi Akai|knit cap]] and [[Scar Akai|long windbreaker]] to disguise himself, but Sleeping Kogoro counters by pointing out the condition of Banba's shoes. Defeated, Amuro demands Kogoro explain the matching DNA, which he does, revealing that Kamon and Banba are identical twins, but Kamon had a chromosomal abnormality that resulted in her being phenotypically female. Humbled, Amuro explains the abnormality condition to those present which [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] confirms.

One day later, Amuro has started work as a waiter at [[Setting#Cafe_Poirot|Café Poirot]] below [[Setting#The_Mouri_Detective_Agency|Mouri Detective Agency]]. He asks Kogoro if he can be Kogoro's apprentice and whispers some unheard amount of money per case that he is will pay if Kogoro brings Amuro along with him. The amount thrills Kogoro into accepting Amuro's offer immediately. Conan mentally moans about how yet another bothersome person has appeared.

=== Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: 796-800, Anime: 671-674) ===
[[File:Amuro796.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Amuro and Conan heard the gunshot]]
While Kogoro and the gang are watching a news report on a recent bank robbery, Amuro stops by with sandwiches from the Poirot after finishing his part time job for the day. After commenting on the robbery, Amuro reveals that he wants the scoop on Kogoro's newest case request after deducing from Kogoro's appearance and habits that Kogoro had a case. Kogoro gets a text from the client requesting that Kogoro switch the meeting location to the [[Setting#Cafe_Columbo|Café Columbo]], and Amuro goes with them after changing out of his work clothes. At the Columbo, Kogoro explains to Amuro the request was to find the locker a key belongs to. The client fails to show, so Amuro, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran go back to the Detective Agency to make sure the client didn't actually turn up there instead. When Amuro arrives at the agency, he and Conan notice someone had broken in and appeared to have intercepted the client while they were out. Stepping outside, Amuro explains his deductions to the rest of the gang and that the culprit is hiding in the restroom. Before Amuro can open the bathroom door, a gunshot rings out, and Conan rushes in to find a dead man who apparently committed suicide with a gun and a taped-up crying woman. The woman's story is that the now-dead guy was interrogating her about the key and locker and committed suicide when Kogoro returned early, but Amuro and Conan suspect she is lying and may have murdered the man.

Amuro questions the woman a little, and Megure comments to Kogoro about he has yet another detective hanging around him. Curious, Amuro asks about [[Masumi Sera|the other detective]] and hears she is a young girl. Amuro offers to drive the formerly tied up woman to her home after questioning was postponed until the next day. Conan, Ran and Kogoro come along for the ride. At the woman's house, Conan, Amuro, and Kogoro announce they need to use the restroom and go inside. Ran turns on her cellphone and immediately gets a call from Sera, who was worried after seeing the news of the murder. The call is full of static, and Amuro suddenly shuts Ran's phone and announces the place is bugged, which is interfering with the cellphone signal. Amuro gets out a bug detector and begins sweeping the house. Ran, Amuro, and Kogoro find several bugs before coming across a large suitcase under a bed that is emitting a horrible smell. They opened the bugged suitcase and find a corpse inside.
[[File:Amuro674.png|thumb|right|220px|Amuro sees Sera]]

Soon afterwards, it was revealed that the culprit was indeed the woman, who sent Kogoro a message claiming that she was having Conan in her hands. During the investigation, they have found out a video recording summary, which contains many news about the robbery, inside the TV. Amuro then quickly gave out the speculation that the apartment might actually belonged to one of the robbers instead. Ran didn't understand how a detective of such level of intelligence could willingly become her father's apprentice. However, Amuro modestly answered that Kogoro was just testing him, and that he still had got much to learn.

Later, they decided to check up the house's computer, which was protected with password. Amuro discovered that the password was hidden under the desk, but instead of revealing the fact directly, he chose to hint Kogoro and Ran about it. After having gained access to the computer,
they have all found out the identity of the third robber and her location, where Conan's kidnapper would most likely pay a visit. They followed the address and drive to that place, Sera approached them closely from behind. However, while still on the road, they suddenly learned that the third robber had been overwhelming both Conan and the killer, and they were in serious danger. Right after determining the exact car that those three were in, Amuro purposely crashed his own car into theirs in order to stop it. In the end, the robber was defeated by Sera, Conan was safe. Amuro, Sera, Okiya (who was driving Agasa and Haibara to the scene) were all shown to receive a mysterious call. Vermouth called Bourbon and commented that he had gained some trust<ref>It wasn't specified whose trust</ref> and that she expected him to keep his (unstated) promise to her.

=== Off Work (Manga: 801) ===
Amuro has a day off of work. After Amuro had his encounter with Sera in the previous case, he noticed that she looked like Akai, so Amuro once again disguised himself as Akai to gauge her reaction. However, like Jodie and Camel before her, Sera was just as shocked by his appearence.

=== Overnight Deadline (Manga: 804-808) ===
[[File:AmuroGraveyard.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Amuro walks away from [[Wataru Date|Date]]'s grave.]]
Conan and the [[Detective Boys]] encounter Amuro who was coming from the police station due to the "Online Client" case. He expresses disappointment at not being able to meet Professor Agasa with them. He also states that he had another purpose for coming to the station, but when asked by Conan what it is, Amuro claims that it "already disappeared."

Later, when Takagi is still trapped, he reminisces of a time with his mentor Wataru Date and says that he was the top student at the police academy. He rebuts this and says he was number 2 compared to that guy who was like a gentleman. Later it's revealed that that person is Amuro who leaves a toothpick by Date's grave and watches Takagi and Sato pay their respects. Amuro also calls Date "His friend."

===Cabin Trap (Manga: 815-817)===
[[File:Amuro817.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Amuro hacking Kogoro's PC.]]
Ran and Kogoro are being served by Amuro at the Poirot. Presumably in reponse to being asked about Conan's absence, Kogoro tells Amuro that Conan and the [[Detective Boys]] went camping in Gunma, and they will be sending pictures to Kogoro's computer later. When Sera calls Ran to ask about [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Volkswagen_Beetle|what sort of vehicle Agasa drives]], Amuro listens suspiciously. Late that night, Amuro furtively sneaks into the empty Mouri Detective Agency and logs onto Kogoro's website using the password Kogoro inadvertently told him [[Tooru_Amuro#Murder_at_Mouri_Detective_Agency_.28Manga:_796-800.29|in an earlier case]]. Instead of pictures from the Detective Boys' camping trip that he was expecting, he sees a video sent by someone (Mitsuhiko) that shows [[Shiho Miyano]] rescuing [[Ayumi]] from a cabin fire. He is shocked, and then he zooms in on her hand and notices she is wearing a pass ring for the Bell Tree Express mystery train. Amuro then notices that Kogoro's computer was being hacked [[Subaru Okiya|by someone]] and wonders who did it. Amuro passes over the information that Shiho appeared in Gunma and will be boarding the mystery train to Vermouth who will relay it to Gin.

[[File:AmuroBourbon.jpg|thumb|left|Amuro introduces himself as Bourbon.]]
===Mystery Train (Manga: 818-824)===
Amuro appears on the train where he runs into Ran and the others. When asked what he is doing there, Amuro claims he won his tickets in an online auction and that he coincidentally met Kogoro in the dining cart where he learned of the case. When Masumi Sera runs off to find Scar Akai (Vermouth), Amuro is seen with his phone out contacting Vermouth that she was heading her way. He then comes when Conan (through Kogoro) starts his deduction on the murder culprit and reveals that three mirror plates were stuffed in a painting which was used for the locked room murder trick.

However, after the culprit confesses, Vermouth activated smoke canisters throughout the train in order to lure Ai Haibara (who supposedly transformed back to Shiho Miyano) out. After that is successful, Amuro introduces himself to her by calling himself Bourbon. He goes on to ask Shiho if she knows who he is to which she claims that he was a rival to her sister's love Dai Moroboshi (Shuichi Akai). Amuro starts to gloat saying that he knew Akai was FBI and that he couldn't believe that he was killed. He then says he decided to disguise as Akai in front of those close to him, although he asked Vermouth to disguise as him on the train. From that, he could only conclude that Akai really died. Putting Shiho at gunpoint, he tells her to go into the eighth cart so he can detach it with C4 explosives and bring her back to the organization. However, Shiho reveals that there are more C4 explosives in the train, when Amuro realizes that Vermouth put them there and that she plans to have Sherry killed. However, before he can do anything else, the real Akai (whom Amuro mistook as Vermouth) comes behind him and throws a grenade to detach the eighth cart. Amuro dodges the explosive relatively unscathed and the eighth cart explodes, but Shiho (who was really Kaitou Kid in disguise) is able to escape. Amuro then regroups with Vermouth and asks her to give him the files on before and after Akai's death. He thinks to himself that he'll have to start from square one, while Okiya, who is revealed to be Shuichi Akai watches on silently.

===Tennis Club Meeting (Manga: 825-827)===
[[File:AmuroConan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Amuro suspects that Conan is "Sleeping Kogoro".]]
After the events of the Bell Tree express, Amuro went on sick leave which Conan took as a sign that he wasn't planning to return. However, to Conan's horror, Amuro had asked Kogoro if he and Sonoko wanted tennis lessons. He meets them at a tennis court and reveals he will be coming back to work at the Poirot next week. When a tennis racket accidentally slips from a player's hand, Amuro tries to warn Conan that it will hit him, but Conan is unable to dodge it in time. Conan is knocked unconscious, and Amuro rushes over and does everything to make sure Conan is assisted medically before a real doctor arrives to check Conan's condition. When Conan awakens, he finds out he was moved to the house of the person who hit him with the racket. After an apology, the group asks if Amuro, Sonoko, and the Mouris would like to play doubles tennis with them. Conan goes off to take a nap, but a loud noise wakes him up, and he discovers one of the players has been murdered and the body is locked in the room with him. Worried about the noise, Amuro picks the room's lock and tries to open the door, but Conan yells at him to stop as there is a beaten body next to it. When the police come to investigate, Amuro helps in the investigation. As Conan prepares to tranquilize Kogoro, Amuro, starting to get suspicious, bends down to examine Conan aiming his watch, which prevents Conan from using it. Conan is instead forced to give out hints to lead Kogoro and the police to the right answer. After the case is over, Amuro and Vermouth have a phone conversation. Vermouth asks why Amuro is still sticking around the Mouri Detective Agency when there is no need to because Sherry has been dealt with, and Amuro responds that he is interested by ''Sleeping Kogoro''. As he says this, he thinks of Conan instead, implying he suspects Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro.

== Hints that Tooru Amuro was Bourbon ==
* The character Tooru Amuro is named after, Amuro Ray, is the mortal enemy of the character [[Shuichi Akai]] is named after, Char Aznable.
* He is a detective and very skilled at information gathering.
* He is male as the codename Bourbon implies. The [[Black Organization]] codename pattern is that hard liquors are used for men's codenames, and [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] used a male specific pronoun to refer to Bourbon in the [[Volume_67#Department_Store_Bomber_Case|Department Store Bomber Case]].<ref name=703p3elab>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm" Kir uses the masculine only term "kare" (彼) to refer to Bourbon instead of a gender neutral term.</ref>
* He has a type of personality [[Gin]] would not like. Gin thinks Bourbon is irritating.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8, pages 13-14: "Silent Clash"</ref>
* When Amuro offers Kogoro an unknown "tuition" per case Kogoro brings him on, the amount he offers is enough to get Kogoro excited and accept Amuro as an apprentice without hesitation. This is strange because Amuro would not be expected to have much money because he is young, lacks a formal agency, and works part time at restaurants in one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
* Unlike other detectives so far, Amuro is a calculating type who chose avoidable courses of action (or non-action) that may have resulted in harm to others if things had gone slightly differently. In his introductory case, Amuro doesn't intervene when a suspect he knows to be innocent is half a step from destroying his exonerating evidence because it seems Amuro was testing Kogoro. Later, Amuro noticed that Conan was alone with a murderer and considered that Conan might have been kidnapped, yet said nothing about it until others realized Conan and the murder suspect were gone.
* The timing of Bourbon's report to [[Vermouth]] about [[Volume_77#Cabin_Trap|Shiho's appearance at Gunma]] suggested Amuro was Bourbon. The other two Bourbon suspects, [[Okiya]] and [[Sera]], both had seen Haibara and were suspicious of her long before Bourbon reported Shiho to Vermouth, but the video from Gunma was the first time Amuro had seen an image of Shiho or Haibara. Okiya had met Haibara in person in his [[Volume_60#Red.2C_White.2C_and_Yellow_Case|first appearance case]] and multiple times afterward. Sera had obtained a picture of Haibara via a reflection from Agasa's glasses in the [[Volume_74#Target_on_Tape|Ayumi kidnapping case]]. Both of them should have reported to Vermouth if they were Bourbon soon after their respective encounters.
*He completely cut off communication with his close friend [[Wataru Date]]. A complete cutoff would not be necessary if Amuro worked for a "good" organization like the FBI. It is more sensible that Amuro was trying to protect Date from any potential repercussions associated with joining the Black Organization which deeply mistrusts police officers.
* Amuro kept a bug detector with him - only Organization members have been shown to do this, while normal detectives like Conan do not.

* Also, through the process of elimination, it can be seen that Amuro is actually Bourbon out of the three suspects. Masumi Sera, Shuichi's sister, can be seen as to not be Bourbon, as she looks like Shuichi Akai, and seems to think he is dead, so it can be concluded that she was not Bourbon. Also, Subaru Okiya is not Bourbon, as Conan, who is normally a very careful person, invites him to stay as his Shinichi's home. If Subaru was someone that Conan did not know, it would be very unlikely that Conan would not let him near the Kudo's house and Haibara (Sherry).

=== Hints that Scar Akai was Tooru Amuro/Bourbon ===
[[File:Scar_Akai.jpg|right]]
:''For the former theory, please see [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory]]'' 
While [[Scar Akai]] was played by Vermouth during the last appearance on the train, Bourbon had been Scar Akai during the three earlier appearances at [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito Bank]], [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|Beika Department Store]], and outside [[Volume_76#Domestic_Violence|Mouri Detective Agency]].<ref>Manga File 824, pg 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> The evidence that Amuro being Scar Akai these times was:
* In Scar Akai's appearance at the Beika Dept. Store, Amuro was the only known Black Organization operative not seen at the same time time as Scar Akai. Gin began discussing Bourbon with Kir after seeing this Scar Akai. This also exclude that Vermouth from being Scar Akai at the time, which means there is more than one Scar Akai.
* Amuro was absent from his job at the Poirot when Scar Akai appeared outside the detective agency where Sera was walking with Ran. This also notable because this occurred right after Sera and Amuro met and Amuro found out Sera was friends with Ran.
* In Scar Akai's appearances at the Teito Bank case, the Beika Dept Store, and outside Mouri Detective Agency, he never spoke in front of anyone who would know Akai's real voice, suggesting that this Scar Akai could not imitate voices like Vermouth.
* Amuro is right-handed like Scar Akai.
* He has the right body size, face shape, and height to disguise as Scar Akai.
* He has an interest in the Mouri Detective Agency which makes sense because [[Scar_Akai_is_Bourbon_Theory#Bourbon.27s_investigation-_He_suspects_Kir_is_a_traitor.|Scar Akai saw fit to keep Kogoro's cellphone number with him]].
* Amuro's hypothetical disguise suggestion in 795, a knit cap and long windbreaker, are articles of clothing Shuichi Akai and Scar Akai wear respectively.

==Relationships analysis==
===Wataru Date===
[[File:Amuro deletes message.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Amuro deleting Date's message.]]
[[Wataru Date]] and Tooru Amuro were best friends in the police academy; Amuro was the top ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Amuro went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Amuro asked him where he was and chided Amuro to communicate once in a while. Amuro was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.

===Shuichi Akai===
Bourbon despises [[Shuichi Akai]] for some unknown reason and believes he is the only one capable of killing him.<ref name=703p3/>

===Vermouth===
[[Vermouth]] and Bourbon seem to be closer to one another than, say, Bourbon and Gin. Bourbon specializes in intelligence gathering, so he likely belongs to the same [[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions| reconnaissance division of the Black Organization]] as Vermouth. Bourbon made an unknown promise to Vermouth (possibly being to not harm Conan), and she later calls to ask him if he will be upholding it.

===Gin===
[[Gin]] dislikes Bourbon's personality and finds him annoying for being secretive and always doing what he pleases. At the same time, Gin respects Bourbon's detective abilities. The two do not seem to be in contact with one another, as Gin has no idea what Bourbon is doing.

===Akemi Miyano===
[[Akemi Miyano]] and Amuro seem to have met at some point because Akemi told Shiho that Amuro has a rivalry with Akai. 

===Shiho Miyano===
Amuro doesn't seem to have any hostility towards [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] unlike other Black Organization members. He attempted to capture the person he though was her alive instead of trying to kill her, regretting he might have to resort to violence to do so. Amuro says he had met Elena and Atsushi Miyano while they were alive. Amuro does not know Shiho is [[Ai Haibara|Ai]]. During a car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne‎]], Shiho gets the feeling a member of the Black Organization was behind her, but she doesn't seem to pinpoint it to Amuro's pursuing [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Mazda_RX-7_2|Mazda FD RX-7]].

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Amuro seems to respect [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s intelligence and also seems to look out for Conan as well. He wound up protecting Conan while disguised as [[Scar Akai]] at the Teito Bank, and as Amuro helped Conan get out of a kidnapping situation and doctored him when Conan took a racket to the head. Before knowing he was Bourbon, Conan was generically friendly towards Amuro. After the events of the Bell Tree Express, dealing with Amuro hanging around has become awkward for Conan especially because he worries for Ran's safety around a member of the Black Organization.

=== Masumi Sera ===
Amuro has a day off of work. After Amuro had his encounter with Sera in the previous case, he noticed that she looked like Akai, so Amuro once again disguised himself as Akai to gauge her reaction. However, like Jodie and Camel before her, Sera was just as shocked by his appearence. Suddenly, Sera sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Sera was chasing, but Sera replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.

== Name origin ==
Tooru Amuro has a [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] inspired name. He is named after the main protagonist [[wikipedia:Amuro Ray|'''Amuro''' Ray]], and Amuro's voice actor [[wikipedia:Tōru_Furuya|'''Touru''' Furuya]].<ref>Sherry's Soliloquy http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/2609-file-793-private-eye/page__view__findpost__p__207297</ref> Amuro is also played by Furuya in the animated series.

==Quotes==

Gin: ''"Like you said, one who you wish only existed in novels. A detective like Sherlock Holmes."''<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8, pages 13-14: "Silent Clash"</ref>

== Trivia ==
[[File:Amurocar.PNG‎|thumb|right|150px|Amuro's RX-7]]
* Amuro is a right-handed person.
* During an 2010 interview with [[Shuichi Ikeda]], Gosho Aoyama said it would be interesting if a character from the [[Black Organization]] was named after [[wikipedia:Amuro Ray|Amuro Ray]] because [[Shuichi Akai]] was named after [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]].<ref>http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__235287</ref><ref>http://www.kudonet.info/</ref><ref>http://wnsgur5941.blog.me/80143064942</ref>

=== Situation ===
In an abandoned house, [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] are playing a horror game using store mannequins, but Ayumi repeatedly blows the mood because her fear always makes way for amusement at the sight of Mitsuhiko and Genta wielding mannequin arms. They become alarmed, however, when in one of the next rooms they hear glass shattering, and upon investigating, they witness two men calling each other Kurata and Suzuki arguing: Suzuki, apparently wishing to ditch the transportation company he's working for in favor of a better salary, has already diverted some of his company's loyal customers to their rival, Sanada Transportation. The argument quickly escalates into a fight, and while the Detective Boys are at a loss about what to do, one of the men quickly lies dead.

}}
The [[Detective Boys]] waste no time calling up [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] at the Mouri Detective Agency, but while they do, the killer parks a truck outside and prepares to dispose of the body. Impulsively, they hitch a ride on the truck in order to find out where it will go and are able to escape the culprit's notice as he deposits the body inside, but in the excitement Ayumi has forgotten her Detective Badge, which she had just used to call Conan, and with no time to retrieve it before the killer departs from the scene (and it being the only Badge they had brought along), Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta have no way of telling Conan about the course of their ride and eventual point of destination.

The ride leads the Detective Boys through an unknown part of the city and out into the mountains, where they become ear witnesses of the culprit burying his victim's body, before they return back to the city. They abandon the truck when it is forced to stop at a red light, and while Mitsuhiko and Genta memorize the truck's license number as it drives away, Ayumi calls up Conan. The next day, Conan, his friends and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] investigate the murder scene and trace the truck to the nearby Kurata Transportation Company, where Genta recognizes one of the men they have seen from a portrait of the company's president, Kurata, hanging in the reception area. The receptionists are also able to identify Suzuki as the company's director, and they also reveal that Suzuki had intentions of starting his own company and as a result had gotten into harsh arguments with Kurata, consolidating the Detective Boys' testimony. In addition, as of this morning, neither Kurata nor Suzuki has been accounted for.

The group finds the truck in question in the firm's parking lot, but a puddle of what the Detective Boys have taken for the victim's blood in the cargo section turns out to be red paint, which makes Kogoro abandon the children in disgust. Conan, however, continues the investigation and begins to backtrack the truck's route and the place where the body is buried from the few pieces of reliable information the Detective Boys have been able to gleam during their nocturnal ride: a branch establishment of a supermarket chain called "White Duck"; a number of certain gas stations they have gone past; a nearby train line; and the point of time at which the truck stopped at an appliance store, remembered by Genta through the climax of a Kamen Yaiba episode that was running on a TV screen inside the store's shop window. They proceed into the mountains and find the body's resting place, but are unaware that the killer has noticed their actions and followed them. And after they dig up the body, a major surprise awaits the Detective Boys...

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan reveals that the victim is actually Kurata, not Suzuki. During their fight in the abandoned house, '''Suzuki''' had overpowered Kurata and bludgeoned him to death while Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta has momentarily taken their eyes off them. Evidence pointing to Suzuki's guilt is the truck's ashtray, which Conan found to be full of cigarette stumps of the same brand. Of the two men in question, only Suzuki is a smoker, and this is his favorite brand. In desperation, Suzuki prepares to attack the children, but is brought down by the combined efforts of Conan and his friends and surrendered to the police.

'''{{nihongo|Jodie Starling|ジョディ・スターリング|Jodi Sutaaringu}}''', referred to in earlier episodes as '''{{nihongo|Jodie Saintemillion|ジョディ・サンテミリオン|Jodi Santemirion}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Jodie as a child.png|thumb|120px|left|Jodie as a child]]
Some twenty years ago, when Jodie was still just a little girl, [[Vermouth]] killed her parents, who had been working on the [[Black Organization]] for the FBI. Vermouth was surprised to find her in her house, and after Jodie had asked what was going on, Vermouth told her to wait by her father until he woke up, and that "a secret makes a woman woman". She then set the house ablaze, thus destroying any evidence that she had been there, along with the corpses of Jodie's parents and any records about the Black Organization.

Fortunately, Jodie had decided to run down the street to the store to buy her father some orange juice, and had thus survived. She was put under protection by the FBI, although she declined the Witness Protection Program, and eventually became an FBI agent herself under the tutelage and patronage of [[James Black]]. The only remaining memento from her past is the set of glasses she wears, which had originally belonged to her father.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Jodie usually is a very serious person, but also has demonstrated a very playful and carefree side (as it is seen when she is Ran's English teacher). She seems to like movies (especially mystery and action-oriented films), and enjoys action video games.

== Plot overview ==
===Plot timeline===
Jodie appears around the same time as Vermouth as Ran's new English teacher at Teitan High under the name of "Jodie Saintemillion". She comes off as somewhat strange, and refers to Conan as "Cool Guy", which caused fans to believe that she knew his secret. (In fact, she now knows he's an incredible detective, but it is unclear if she knows his true identity). She is noted for often using the phrase of her enemy, Vermouth ('A secret makes a woman woman'). In Episode 226-227, Jodie, after watching Conan suspiciously, informs someone over the phone that she has found their target, whom she refers to as "Rotten Apple".

First indications of Jodie's FBI training are shown during the confrontation with the bus hijackers. She stealthily turns on the safety to one of the hijacker's guns, while knocking him down thus he cannot shoot it when he attempts to fire at her. She appears later in Episodes 271-272 and gives Conan information that allows him to solve the case. In Episodes 277-278, she is investigated by Conan and Heiji, both believing her to be Vermouth in disguise, as she pretends to not know japanese despite being perfectly fluent, and even helps them solve a case in the same episode.

It is not until her personal confrontation with Vermouth that Jodie's past and true identity as an FBI agent is revealed, as well as the real reason she's in Japan and the person she's looking for. She is tracking down Vermouth, and after a brief confrontation with her, Jodie is rescued by Conan and her colleague [[Shuichi Akai]]. Following this, she offers Ai a place in the Witness Protection Program, but Haibara declines. She does not appear again until when she helps Conan prevent an assassination plot of a politician orchestrated by the Black Organization and the subsequent capture and hospitalization of the Black Organization member, Kir.

Jodie has been heavily involved in the Black Organization arc in Episodes 492-504, which has involved the Black Organization and the FBI. The death of her partner, Akai, takes a very emotional toll on her. As it later turns out, they used to be lovers before Akai infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]], with whom he eventually became more intensely involved. Still, despite their breakup Jodie does maintain strong feelings for him.<ref name=Akai>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref>. When a man who looks like Shuichi Akai appears, Jodie is convinced that the stranger is her partner who has lost his memory, but he is gone before she can affirm her suspicion.

===Hints that Jodie was not Vermouth, but an FBI agent===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
* The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that [[Vermouth]] stole did not contain any cases involving Jodie Saintemillion, but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed [[Conan|Conan Edogawa]] to deduce Araide was Vermouth and not Jodie.
* Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
* Jodie calls Conan "cool guy" after the first time they meet in reference to the caption on Vermouth's photo of Conan, but she switches to "cool kid" after that. This showed that Jodie did not know Conan was Shinichi, unlike Vermouth who was grateful to Conan (and thus trying not to target him) after Shinichi saved her in the New York case.
* Jodie mentions the nickname for the FBI is "The Bureau".

== Relationships analysis ==
Due to her undercover status in Japan, Jodie’s personality and style of communication varies from person to person. Outside of a select few who know of her involvement with the FBI, Jodie maintains her cover at all times, first being a high school English teacher at Teitan High, and later an American tourist vacationing with her “boyfriend”.

===Colleagues===

====Shuichi Akai====
[[Shuichi Akai]] and Jodie are co-workers that came to Japan as part of an FBI unit led by James Black in pursuit of Vermouth and the Black Organization. While their relationship is mostly professional in the current-timeline, the two were romantically involved at least five years prior. When Akai was given the mission to earn the trust of and become a mole inside the Black Organization, he got close to Akemi Miyano for the purpose of using her inside connections. Despite his original intentions, however, Akai genuinely fell in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with a blindsided Jodie. While the feelings were still there, Akai explained himself by saying, “To be able to love two women at the same time…it’s not that handy a personality.” While the two were no longer lovers, Jodie's feelings for Akai never swayed. Despite an end to their relationship, the two continued on as colleagues until the fateful day when Akai was killed. While his death was a tragic loss for all those in the FBI, Jodie took it especially hard. When first hearing the news, she was in complete denial that Akai could die. Despite her frantic attempts at proving Akai was alive, however, Jodie came to the cold hard truth on her own, bringing the agent to tears.

Since the incidents of Clash of Red and Black, Akai has become an understandably sore topic for Jodie. On one occasion when conversation about drinks led Camel to mention Akai's love for Bourbon alcohol, Jodie stormed away from her friends. In addition to an inability to cope with this loss, her thought process has become seemingly more aggressive and risky, something that was unheard of during her long, careful investigation of Vermouth. Jodie's mindset has been especially fixated since her encounter with [[Scar Akai]]. When Camel mentioned that the sudden reappearance of Akai could be a trap set up by the organization, Jodie refused to accept the possibility of such a scenario.

====James Black====
Although [[James Black]] is in charge of the FBI agents stationed in Japan, his relationship with Jodie couldn’t be further from the usual boss and subordinate stereotype. In fact, during several occasions, Jodie takes over the role of giving out orders while James serves as her chauffeur. <ref>[[Volume 49#File 502 - A New Objective|Volume 49, File 502: "A New Objective", Page 11]]</ref> While there are many possibilities to explain such an arrangement, such as her strong personality and supposedly bad driving skills, James does not seem to mind in the least. The two have been acquainted long before she joined the FBI, dating back at least twenty years before the series. Following the murder of Jodie’s father, also an FBI agent, James tried convincing the young girl to join the witness protection program. Both out of concern for her safety and respect for his deceased friend, James pushed the offer hard and often, but Jodie refused him time and time again until at some point when she made him a deal; she would join the program if, and only if, she was promised a position in the FBI when she was older. <ref>[[Volume 43#File 437 - Ai Haibara's Resolution|Volume 43, File 437: "Ai Haibara's Resolution ", Pages 15 - 18]]</ref> Whether or not he accepted the deal, Jodie’s current employment with the FBI seems to speak for itself. Despite this unusual working relationship, Jodie is a loyal and hard-working agent that wholeheartedly respects the man whom she has come to see as a sort of father figure. Work aside, the two have been shown to spend time together as friends, often along with Camel.

====Andre Camel====
She first meets him while protecting Kir, which he makes her suspicious. Later he is forced to knock her out to go ahead with Conan, Akai and his plan to bring Kir back to the Black Organization. Later she protects [[Andre Camel]] when he is a suspect in a murder case, by saying they are on a vacation in Japan and they are lovers.

===Black Organization===

====Vermouth====
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|175 px|right|Jodie (Age 7) encounters Vermouth twenty years prior to the series.]]
Bitter hatred for [[Vermouth]] is putting Jodie's feelings very lightly. The animosity she holds for the American actress stems back twenty years, during Jodie’s early childhood, when her father was murdered in cold blood and home burned to a crisp by none other than Vermouth. Jodie’s father was an FBI agent working in secret on files pertaining to Vermouth. Thinking that Jodie would die along with her mother and the files when the fire was set ablaze, Vermouth allowed the young girl to wait with her daddy for the bedtime story he promised her before dying. Things did not work out as planned, however, when Jodie left to buy orange juice at the grocery store as the fire began, later returning to find her house in shambles. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for the escapee, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues.

While Vermouth had since moved on from that incident, Jodie’s whole life was shaped during that fateful night. Albeit hesitant at first to join the program, Jodie made a deal with the persistent FBI agent, James Black: if promised a place in the FBI, she would take up his offer and go into the witness protection program. Ever since then, the burning desire to avenge her father, mother, and lost childhood drove Jodie to seek out the murderess. Vowing to always remember what took place, Jodie even took up the infamous motto that Vermouth spoke on the night of their encounter: “A secret makes a woman, woman.” When, years later, the FBI found a new lead on Vermouth, Jodie was given the opportunity to finally bring the high ranking organization member to justice.

Compared to the girl she made an orphan, Vermouth’s strong dislike for Jodie pales in comparison but exists nonetheless. When the two were finally reunited after a long period of time where both posed as school teachers, Vermouth was just as determined to finish what she started twenty years ago as Jodie was to bringing her nemesis into FBI custody. Although intervention from both sides led to a stalemate during their encounter, their fierce rivalry lives on, each with renewed efforts to put an end to the other.

====Kir====

===Other===

==== Conan Edogawa ====

Impressed by his intelligence, deductionary abilities and knowledge, Jodie considers [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] her "favorite detective". She always takes him seriously, and lets him help her in figuring out plans. Also, it is shown that Jodie has placed great trust on the boy detective. It is because when Conan asks a favor, or is asked by him to do a certain action, even though it doesn't make much sense, Jodie complies without question.

====Ran Mouri====
Although the two first met off screen when Jodie began teaching at Teitan High, Jodie’s stern personality and tough teaching style left a bad, perhaps more uncertain, impression on Ran. After coincidentally running into Jodie after school one day at an arcade, an entirely new impression was left on [[Ran|Ran Mouri]]. The high school girl began to admire and enjoy Jodie’s fun, friendly side. On more than one occasion, Ran even went to Jodie for advice. Unbeknownst to Ran, however, Jodie was putting on a front, at times even using the girl as a means to see Conan in action. As an FBI agent, Jodie closely monitored Ran and Conan after discovering a dartboard with their pictures during her investigation of Vermouth. As a school teacher, Jodie easily managed to keep close tabs on the girl labeled “Angel”.

When Jodie left her teaching position, the class was deeply saddened. Despite Jodie’s protests, Ran and Sonoko attempted to throw their favorite teacher a farewell party, which later turned into a case. To prove a friend’s innocence, Ran attempted to call Shinichi to solve the case for her. Jodie, however, took the phone away, claiming that Ran needed to learn how to become independent. This gesture helps encourage Ran to try and solve the case on her own, further strengthening Ran’s admiration for Jodie. When the time came to say good-bye, however, Ran went to use Jodie’s bathroom only to find photos of her friends and her hidden behind the sink mirror. Concerned by the discovery, Ran couldn’t decide what to make of the photos. When she finally found the courage to bring the topic up to Jodie during the latter’s hospitalization, the quick thinking FBI agent explained that displaying photos of friends was an American tradition. Relieved to hear her teacher's reasoning, Ran's admiration and respect for Jodie quickly returned.

====Ai Haibara====
Jodie takes great interest in [[Haibara|Ai Haibara]] originally due to her investigation of Vermouth; although the reasons at first where unknown to her, Jodie suspected that there was a connection between the woman who Vermouth called “Sherry” and the young girl by the name of Ai Haibara. <ref>[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask ", Pages 5 - 6]]</ref> Following the [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|showdown with Vermouth]], Jodie encourages Haibara to take part in the witness protection program, an offer that she declines after much consideration. As an FBI agent, she had hoped that Haibara would accept the offer, but because of their similar backgrounds, Jodie’s feelings were far closer to acceptance and admiration than they were disappointment. While the two have yet to completely realize just how similar their pasts are, Jodie has admitted to seeing a little bit of herself in the young girl, even going as far as to comment on how Haibara had something that she lacked at that age; [[Detective Boys|friends]] who she can depend on. <ref>[[Volume 43#File 437 - Ai Haibara's Resolution|Volume 43, File 437: "Ai Haibara's Resolution ", Pages 15 - 18]]</ref> Although the relationship was mostly one-sided in the beginning, Haibara has started to see Jodie as a trustworthy figure of whom she can put her faith in, particularly after the many situations where FBI involvement has saved the day.

====Tomoaki Araide====
When Conan and Jodie succeeded in unmasking Vermouth and subsequently foiling her plans, the Araide family returned home to Japan, much to the dismay of the FBI agents who had gone to such lengths to protect them. It was encouraged that they take part in the [[Wikipedia:Witness protection|Witness Protection Program]], but [[Tomoaki Araide]] declined on behalf of the family. In order to make the transition back to daily life as smooth as possible, Jodie filled Tomoaki in on what he had missed, omitting certain details while making other things up to protect intelligence, allowing the doctor to return to his regular life again. During their final phone call, Jodie tells him that they will not speak again. Tomoaki uses this final opportunity to ask if Vermouth was really a bad person, infuriating Jodie who asked how a good person could kill while wearing a smile. <ref>[[Volume 45#File 459 - Truth Behind the Remaining Desk|Volume 45, File 459: "Truth Behind the Remaining Desk", Pages 16 - 18]]</ref>

== 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, 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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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.

===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?

===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.

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.

Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya

== 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, 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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

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!"

"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?

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 Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya

== 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, 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.

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.

===Hooligan's Labyrinth (Episode 279-280)===

The episode begins with the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa having just finished watching a soccer/football game between the Tokyo Spirits and Noir. 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 his 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!"

"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?"

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?

The first MitsuxAi scene is on he bus after the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa have just finished watching a soccer/football game.

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?

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

===Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys (Episode 509)===

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. She bends to him down, and asks him whether he is injured.

Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya

== 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, 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.

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!

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?

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?

===Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun (Episode 312-313)===

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

Later Ai shows Genta special attention when he falls in the snow and gets a nosebleed. Ai uses tissue to stop his nose from bleeding and holds his face while telling him to be careful next time. Mitsuhiko watches Ai walk away, blushes and exclaims "I'm so jealous of you, Genta-kun!"

As a result Ai says smiling (and also slightly ironically) that she feels honoured that he can be eaten at her place. In the course of the action Mitsuhiko is very obliging to Ai and Ayumi. 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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

===Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys (Episode 509)===

An apartment is burned down and three of the residences are suspected as the arsonists. While Conan tries to figure out who the culprit is, Ai holds onto him freaking out about her "sixth sense" with the members of the Black Organization. She suspects that one of the three is a Black Org. member. To get a better look at them, she asks Mitsuhiko to do her a favor. 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. She bends to him down, and asks him whether he is injured.

Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya

== 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.

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.

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 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?

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

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. She bends to him down, and asks him whether he is injured.

== 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.

===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 Ai.

In the end Mitsuhiko tells Ai about his theory and shows also her the picture of Grace Aihara. As a result shows Ai him compared with so much trust that she confirms to him that in his theory more as a spark of truth is, while Ayumi holds his theory for nonsense.

== 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 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 forbidden 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 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.)

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." because 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 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 around her ankle like a bandage. Ai is conspicuously delighted by his natural intelligence and says he is 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 the one that's amazing. I'm not even close to being like him..." Ai feels bad and after a pause she 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 amazing rescuer. Thank you." Mitsuhiko blushes and carries her from the mountain. The scene ends with her gazing at his reddened face intently.

===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?

===Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun (Episode 312-313)===
Mitsuhiko ask/pulled Ai to go to the top of the stairs with him to be the empress and emperor of the photo.

===A Code of Stars and Tobacco (Episode 374-375)===

The Detective Boys examine the case of a missing amateur astronomer whose skeleton they find. Mitsuhiko wants to maintain a star after itself, Ai and Ayumi name, when they the Detective Boys about stars and her discoverers.

===The Super Secret Road to School (Episode 427-428)===

The Detective Boys are looking for a missing girl who looks a lot like Ai . Ayumi says that the girl is popular among the girls but not among boys in her class. Mitsuhiko, however, blushes and says that boys like her too. When Ai this hears, she turns round to Mitsuhiko, smiles at him and thanks.

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

Later Ai shows Genta special attention when he falls in the snow and gets a nosebleed. Ai uses tissue to stop his nose from bleeding and holds his face while telling him to be careful next time. Mitsuhiko watches Ai walk away, blushes and exclaims "I'm so jealous of you, Genta-kun!"

===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. As a result Ai says smiling (and also slightly ironically) that she feels honoured that he can be eaten at her place. In the course of the action Mitsuhiko is very obliging to Ai and Ayumi. 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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

===Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys (Episode 509)===

An apartment is burned down and three of the residences are suspected as the arsonists. While Conan tries to figure out who the culprit is, Ai holds onto him freaking out about her "sixth sense" with the members of the Black Organization. She suspects that one of the three is a Black Org. member. To get a better look at them, she asks Mitsuhiko to do her a favor. 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. She bends to him down, and asks him whether he is injured.

Ai becomes with the escape by a car from an exploding building, flung from this. Mitsuhiko holds on them with whole strength, and preserves them in such a way to fall in the depth, and injured themselves fatally to. Besides, he says that he never lets alow to fall them.

== 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 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 forbidden 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 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.)

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." because 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." (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 he 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.)

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 around 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...Conan-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 and after a pause she 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 amazing rescuer. Thank you." Mitsuhiko blushes and carries her from the mountain. The scene ends with her gazing at his reddened face intently. Ai throws on the return journey a dreamy Look on Mitsuhiko. Conan looks rerum at them, and seems to know what goes forward in her. As a result she blushes and turns round fast.

===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?

===Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun (Episode 312-313)===

The Detective Boys are looking for a missing girl who looks a lot like Ai . Ayumi says that the girl is popular among the girls but not among boys in her class. Mitsuhiko, however, blushes and says that boys like her too. When Ai this hears, she turns round to Mitsuhiko, smiles at him and thanks.

===The Unsmashable Snowman (Episode 466-467)===

Mitsuhiko grabs Ai's hand during the snowstorm to make sure she doesn't get lost, but it turns out to be Genta's hand instead and everyone looks embarrassed.

Later Ai shows Genta special attention when he falls in the snow and gets a nosebleed. Ai uses tissue to stop his nose from bleeding and holds his face while telling him to be careful next time. Mitsuhiko watches Ai walk away, blushes and exclaims "I'm so jealous of you, Genta-kun!"

===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. As a result Ai says smiling (and also slightly ironically) that she feels honoured that he can be eaten at her place. In the course of the action Mitsuhiko is very obliging to Ai and Ayumi. 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)===

A restaurant owner disguises himself as a policeman to protect, at night, the woman in whom he is in love secretly. At last says Ai ironically that men can never show their feelings. Maybe she wants to indicate that she waits for the fact that a "man" confesses her his true feelings in her surroundings, Mitsuhiko or Conan. However, maybe she makes fun even only of a stereotype about men.

===Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys (Episode 509)===

An apartment is burned down and three of the residences are suspected as the arsonists. While Conan tries to figure out who the culprit is, Ai holds onto him freaking out about her "sixth sense" with the members of the Black Organization. She suspects that one of the three is a Black Org. member. To get a better look at them, she asks Mitsuhiko to do her a favor. 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. She bends to him down, and asks him whether he is injured.
