Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. However, although Ai is kind to him, she does not seem to reciprocate romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko, perhaps because she is really much older and has had very different life experiences. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his courage during critical situations and respects his feelings. She, in some episodes, also shows more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta.{{citation needed}} A recurring element in Mitsuhiko and Ai's relationship is Conan. He usually secretly observes their "moments" and pokes fun at Ai's interest in Mitsuhiko while she replies with some sarcastic comments.

Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. She also in some episodes showed more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta. Their "love" could be called "puppy love". Unlike the AyumixConan relationship, because of how enigmatic and ambigious Ai can be, it is unknown whether or not Ai has romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko too. In the AyumixConan relationship, it is obvious that Conan has no feelings for Ayumi beyond sisterly love. Does Ai only feel brotherly love for Mitsuhiko? Mitsuhikos mental age seems to be a problem on the first sight, because he is a real child, completely in contrast to Ai. Ai is often irritated by the childish behaviour 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 and ripest. He could already solve several riddles without Conans help, and two cases clear up because of which Conan has failed. In the remaining cases with the Detective Boys it is mostly he who gives the deciding ones instruction, so that Conan can solve the case. Moreover, is on him reliance if danger threatens. He has released Ai and Conan also without help from Genta and Ayumi already from dangerous situations, and Ai has saved once even the life. 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 sarcastic comment. Is ConanxAi more believeable as a romantic relationship than MitsuxAi? Read on...

 +
* This is the first time that Mitsuhiko starts showing affection for Haibara. He blushes after she explained about the legend regarding apple being the forbidden fruit. When asked by Conan why he made such a strange expression, Mitsuhiko answers that he was just looking at Haibara, as he is amazed by her intelligence, mature personalities, and mysteriousness. However, the boy gets embarrassed and denies that he has feelings for her. Conan then warns him that Haibara is not the right choice for him, since "she'll be too difficult to deal with".
 +
* Later, when the group's spreading out to search for Genta who got lost, Haibara chooses Mitsuhiko as her partner, much to his surprise. Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko is concerned about the way Haibara and Conan usually discuss in private, about things that normal children don't understand, and wonders whether there is some kind of relationship between the two. However, Haibara states with a serious look that her relationship with Conan "is not as romantic as it seems".

 +
* When Ai falls to the ground after twisting her ankle, Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and aids her by cutting his towel into strips to wrap around her ankle, just like a bandage. She is conspicuously delighted by his natural intelligence and compliments him. Mitsuhiko blushes and answers modestly that he actually learned this technique from Conan. The boy then sadly comments on how smart and knowledgeable Conan is and the fact that he can't compare himself to the young detective. Unexpected to Mitsuhiko, Haibara smiles and tells him:
 +
{{cquote|How silly... The most important thing is that you have this knowledge and know how to use it after learning. Right now, you're my most outstanding rescuer. Thank you for your help...}}
 +
* Mitsuhiko shyly blushes because of Haibara's compliments. They stand up and continue walking, with Mitsuhiko gently supports and carries her away while smiling in happiness. It is implied that Haibara's aware of his feelings for her, as she stares at his reddened face silently.
 +
* On the ride home at the end of the case, when Haibara comments that she hates how people go over board for the sake of animals, Mitsuhiko is disheartened but is cheered up by Ayumi's more positive outlook. Haibara observes them discreetly, revealing a gentle smile. Conan notices this and smirks at Haibara, as he knows that the real reason behind her comment was to dissuade any more feelings of admiration from Mitsuhiko. Haibara realizing that Conan had caught on, blushes and she defensively asks him what he was looking at.

===Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga Volume 27 file 10 and 28 Files 1-2, Episode 212-213)===
+
* On the train, when Mitsuhiko is listening to the result of the game, Haibara leans her head right next to his in order to listen to the radio. Mitsuhiko constantly blushes as she questions him about the status of the game and whether the player [[Ryusuke Higo]] is still on the field, to which he answers awkwardly. Haibara then asks him to let her know if the match starts again, and Mitsuhiko agrees with his face still red.
 +
* At the end of the case, Haibara leaves the group and Conan suspects that she's trying to depart away from them all by taking another train. However, it turns out that she has been looking for Mitsuhiko's lost portable radio this whole time.

This is the first episode that Mitsuhiko shows affection for Ai. While she goes into one of her adult-like rants about something very random, such as Adam and Eve and the 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.)
+
==== [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]] ====
 +
* When the Detective Boys find out that Mitsuhiko is leaving the city and track him down to a mountainous area in Gunma, Haibara voices her concern about his sudden and secret travel, wondering what could possibly have prompted him into having such behaviors, as Mitsuhiko has always been the serious and considerate one.
 +
* It later turns out that Mitsuhiko went into the mountains to catch fireflies because he had overheard Ai and Ayumi talking about how pretty they were, and wanted to surprise the girls, as fireflies are symbols of summer that you can't find in the city. However, when he has finally caught one, he realizes that he must hold it with both hands, and thus unable to answer to Conan's call via the detective badge. Despite this, Mitsuhiko didn't give it up for the sake of Ai and Ayumi. Earlier, even after hearing Conan's warning that there was a serial killer nearby and that he needed to contact them immediately, Mitsuhiko refused to let go of the firefly and chose to run away from [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] instead.<ref>[[Volume 35|Volume 35, File 360, Page 9]]</ref> Ai, along with Ayumi, is astonished when she learns this and asks "You did all that for us?". They express their appreciation, while Mitsuhiko blushes and smiles happily.
 +
* At the end of the episode, Ayumi mentions to Haibara the sighting of a legendary animal, called [[wikipedia:Tsuchinoko|Tsuchinoko]]. Both girls mention how they would like to see it. Mitsuhiko and Genta begin plotting ways to go find this creature and show it to the girls, even though this is seemingly impossible.
  
−
Later in the episode, Genta gets lost while they are searching for a certain kind of mushroom and Ai makes Conan pair up with Ayumi and tells Misuhiko to come with her to go look for him. Conan gets a dark look on his face and says "Be careful, Haibara." because they are in hunting territory and humans are often mistaken for animals and shot by accident. Ai smiles in a very 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.)

* Mitsuhiko pulls Ai to the top of the stairs with him so that they would become the empress and emperor in the photo.

In episode 213, Ai falls to the ground because she twisted her ankle when they were running away. Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and cuts his towel into strips to wrap it 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.

* Mitsuhiko suggests, while blushing, that when they discover a new comet, it should be named after himself, Haibara, and Ayumi. He later adds he finds romantic that his initials, Haibara's and Ayumi's can be formed with the same number of cigarettes.

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

==== [[Super Secret of the Road to School|Episode 427-428: Super Secret of the Road to School]] ====
 +
* The Detective Boys look for a missing girl who is said to resemble Ai. Ayumi says that the girl is popular among the girls but not among the boys in her class. Mitsuhiko, however, blushes and says that Ai is liked even by boys. When Ai hears this, she turns around to Mitsuhiko, smiles at him and thanks. Then, after Conan has lent his cap to her, Mitsuhiko, probably wishing to compliment her, enthusiastically says it makes her look really boyish.

 +

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.

==== [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|Episode 481-482: Mountain Witch's Cutlery]] ====
 +
* The children tell one another about the horror story of a mountain witch who eats children. Mitsuhiko states that he will protect Ai and Ayumi with his life, should the mountain witch really appears. As a result, and after having thanked him, Ai smiles sarcastically and asks whether Mitsuhiko would let himself be eaten in her place, much to Mitsuhiko's awkwardness.
 +
* They eventually find a house in the mountain to spend the night;in the threshold, Mitsuhiko searches himself for slippers to put at Ai and Ayumi's feet.

"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!

==== [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Episode 509: Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys]] ====
 +
* Suspecting that one of the three arson suspects is from the Black Organization, Haibara asks Mitsuhiko to "cooperate" with her in order to get a better look at them. She puts her hands on his shoulders and tells him to walk backwards. She, while holding his blushing face, also asks him to keep his eyes on her without turning around, to which Mitsuhiko agrees. As Haibara approaches the trio, she accidentally grabs his shoulders too hard and ends up making him fall to the ground, scratching his elbow. Worrying about Mitsuhiko's condition, Haibara immediately bends down towards him. She apologizes and wonders if he is alright, but he answers, with a smile, that he's not seriously injured.

* When Mitsuhiko is kidnapped along with a young woman, Ai jumps in the car and tries to pull the ignition key to prevent his kidnapping, only to get abducted as the third hostage.
  
−
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?

Unfortunately, as he only has a T-shirt left, he gradually suffers hypothermia and eventually loses consciousness not much later.
 +
* When Mitsuhiko wakes up, he realizes that he's sharing his jacket with Haibara, who is embracing him from behind as an effort to make his body warmer. She apologizes for causing his sufferings, and suggests that he stay still so she can warm him up with the heat of her body. Mitsuhiko blushes heavily while thanking for her kindness.

Latest revision as of 12:53, 28 August 2021

Mitsuhiko and Haibara hearing the radio.

Relationship analysis

Mitsuhiko develops heavy romantic feelings for Ai, and Ai is aware of this. However, although Ai is kind to him, she does not seem to reciprocate romantic feelings for Mitsuhiko, perhaps because she is really much older and has had very different life experiences. Ai uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his courage during critical situations and respects his feelings. She, in some episodes, also shows more confidence with Mitsuhiko than with Ayumi or Genta.[citation needed] A recurring element in Mitsuhiko and Ai's relationship is Conan. He usually secretly observes their "moments" and pokes fun at Ai's interest in Mitsuhiko while she replies with some sarcastic comments.

Moments

Manga/Anime

Episode 212-213: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys

  • This is the first time that Mitsuhiko starts showing affection for Haibara. He blushes after she explained about the legend regarding apple being the forbidden fruit. When asked by Conan why he made such a strange expression, Mitsuhiko answers that he was just looking at Haibara, as he is amazed by her intelligence, mature personalities, and mysteriousness. However, the boy gets embarrassed and denies that he has feelings for her. Conan then warns him that Haibara is not the right choice for him, since "she'll be too difficult to deal with".
  • Later, when the group's spreading out to search for Genta who got lost, Haibara chooses Mitsuhiko as her partner, much to his surprise. Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko is concerned about the way Haibara and Conan usually discuss in private, about things that normal children don't understand, and wonders whether there is some kind of relationship between the two. However, Haibara states with a serious look that her relationship with Conan "is not as romantic as it seems".

  • When Ai falls to the ground after twisting her ankle, Mitsuhiko immediately runs to her side and aids her by cutting his towel into strips to wrap around her ankle, just like a bandage.

The boy then sadly comments on how smart and knowledgeable Conan is and the fact that he can't compare himself to the young detective. Unexpected to Mitsuhiko, Haibara smiles and tells him:
“ How silly... The most important thing is that you have this knowledge and know how to use it after learning. Right now, you're my most outstanding rescuer. Thank you for your help... „
  • Mitsuhiko shyly blushes because of Haibara's compliments. They stand up and continue walking, with Mitsuhiko gently supports and carries her away while smiling in happiness. It is implied that Haibara's aware of his feelings for her, as she stares at his reddened face silently.
