Irish (アイリッシュ ,Airisshu^?) is a non-canon Black Organization member.

Background

Irish had a lot of respect for Pisco and considers him to be like a father. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly executed and his body left to turn into ashes, then he holds a deep grudge against Gin and plans to discredit him before the boss. He disguised himself as Matsumoto^[1] to infiltrate the police and retrieve a missing data card with information on the organization's Non-official covers, possessed by a serial killer who had murdered their NOC Masaaki Okakura. While following the investigation, he becomes curious about Conan, researches him, and eventually discovers that he is actually Shinichi.

Knowing that he is going to catch the culprit on the night of Tanabata, he knocks the other detectives out, helps Conan to defeat the criminal, and recovers the data card. After getting rid of Ran, he chases Conan until the roof of the Tokyo Tower. At the very moment that he gains a decisive advantage over him, he is found by the organization's helicopter. Gin, recording that he has the data card in his possession, and that his cover has been undisclosed, orders his death. He is shot by Chianti, but is not fatally wounded. Conan then tries to carry him to a safe place and force him to reveal the boss' true identity, but Gin, noticing this attempt, asks Chianti to fire again. He protects Conan from the sniper's bullet with his own body, a movement that causes his death. His last words are "Shinichi Kudo...keep coming...after us."

Personality

He is quite smart and endowed with deduction skills, as he manages to find out that Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly when he has only met him once. He also becomes suspicious about Conan only from hearing a few comments from other officers. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving, as during the police investigation he is limited to recording the facts without suggesting any useful ideas. He shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He enjoys challenges and appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations are enjoyable for him, continues to hunt Conan after beating him down.

Appearance

A strong man, with eyebrows like Devilman and blond hair. He is left-handed.

Abilities

He is skilled in disguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of that body type. He is also not as skilled as Vermouth in this practice. Despite these setbacks, he manages to remain undiscovered until the end. He is a capable martial arts fighter, whose strong body can count on well-mastered battle techniques. He single-handedly knocks out six police officers and a security employee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. In addition, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight, defeating her after a balanced confrontation. Even if unarmed, he could defeat a criminal carrying a stun gun with a single punch. He is just as precise useing guns, as when he fights with his fists. For instance, he disables all of Conan's gadgets by firing at them without hurting him in any way. As other organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and after having been shot with a sniper.

-== Personality and Skills==
-Irish seems quite smart, and endowed with deduction skills: he manages to find out Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly, whereas he has only met him once; and he becomes suspicious about Conan only be hearing a few comments from other officers. Besides, the method he uses to verify his theory is accurate and efficient. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving: during the police investigation, he is limited to record the facts without bringing any useful ideas.
-He has been shown to be skilled in desguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of the body shape; he is also less qualified than Vermouth in this practice. Even though, he manages to remain undiscovered until the end of the movie.
-[[File:Irish & Ran - 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Irish fighting against Ran]]
-Irish is a capable martial fighter, whose strong body can count on well-mastered battle techniques. He defeats single-handedly six police officers and a security emloyee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. What's more, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight; he even vainquishes her after a balanced confrontation, but his winning strike may have relied on the element of surprise. This does not mean Irish always benefit from advantages during his fights: it has been shown he could defeat a criminal armed with a stun gun, without using weapons himself, and with a single punch. He is as precise when he uses guns as when he fights with his fists - for instance,  he disables all of Conan's gadgets by firing at them without hurting him in any way.
-Irish shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He seems to enjoy challenges, appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations appear to be a real enjoyment for him, almost a game - which is particularly shown when he beats Conan, and then hunts him.
-As other Organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and, above all, after having been shot with a sniper.
-His rank in the Organization has not been exposed. But the way the other members act with him would imply he does not benefit from a high position. Gin scolds him like a subordinate, and does not hesitate in giving the order to kill him. He appears to take this decision without deliberating, without fearing any consequences and, above all, without an order from the Boss of the Organization - whereas he needed a direct order to eliminate the executive agent [[Pisco]]. Nevertheless, Irish declares to Conan that he his going to bring him in front of his Boss, which could suggest he is sufficiently high ranked to directly contact him.
+Knowing that he is going to catch the culprit on the night of Tanabata, he knocks the other detectives out, helps Conan to defeat the criminal, and recovers the data card.

Gin, recording that he has the data card in his possession, and that his cover has been undisclosed, orders his death. He is shot by [[Chianti]], but is not fatally wounded.

+He is quite smart and endowed with deduction skills, as he manages to find out that Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly when he has only met him once.

-==== [[Pisco]] ====
+== Character inspiration ==
-Irish admires Pisco and considers him like a father. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly executed by Gin.
+The original character design is handled by author [[Gosho Aoyama]]. Originally, the name was to be Scotch, but the screenwriter [[Kazunari Kouchi]] changed. [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] appears later in the original work.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/20542.html|accessdate=2022-10-13|title=名探偵コナン 漆黒の追跡者}}</ref>
-==== [[Gin]] ====
+== Trivia ==
-Irish holds a deep grudge against Gin for having killed Pisco, and having left his body turn into ashes. He depicts him as a cold-hearted bastard, searches a way to take him down in the Organization; to do so, he desires to show his Boss the mistake Gin made when he did not kill Shinichi - to provoke his disgrace. This even leads him to act against the Organisation's projects, since he does not reveal to anyone Shinichi's true identity.
+* His favorite red wine is an Altaïr Red 2003.
-Besides, Irish's enmity is mutual. Gin talks to him with despise, scolds him, and exhorts him to do correctly the job he has been assigned. This job is the only reason Gin even speaks to him; after having seen this job has been done, he immediately orders his death.
-==== [[Vermouth]] ====
+== References ==
-Even though their relationship is unknown, and that they probably don't really know each others, Vermouth is the only member to show some sympathy, or respect, from Irish. At least, that is what is implied when she reveals his codename to Conan, before adding that Irish whiskey is nicely distilled, with a mild taste. Furthermore, and the end of the movie, Irish refers to Vermouth's opinion about Conan; this detail may indicate that they have already talked together.
+{{reflist}}
-==== [[Chianti]] ====
-Chianti does not hesitate a single second to execute Irish, whereas he is, like her, a member of the Organization. She even displays a sadistic smile after having shot him down with her sniper.
-==== [[Korn]] ====
-Korn is usually silent, but when Chianti fires at Irish, he declares that he would have liked to shoot. This suggests he does not really care about this member's life.
-==== [[Vodka]] ====
-After Gin has given the order to kill Irish, Vodka is the only one to have a word of protestation. But he it probably because he fears some consequences from the Organization's headquarters, since he keeps quiet after that.
-==== [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] ====
-Irish and Conan are opponents, and he even displays some crualty while beating and hunting him. However, he ends up using his own body to protect his life from Chianti's sniper. His last words, which exhort Conan to keep chasing the organisation, suggest that he eventually gained his confidence. Beside Vermouth, he is the only non-undercover member of the Organization to have shown respect for him.
-As for Conan, he tries to carry Irish's body out of Chianti's fire range, and tells him he is going to give him medical treatments. But this is probably because he wants him to give informations about his Boss's location; and also because Conan always does his best to save a life.
