also this whole AI debate got me talking with a friend - i don't know or think that AI is all that prevalent in RP, not that i've heard of and i doubt anyone would admit to it. maybe it's more prevalent with fanfiction or with writing as a whole, i don't know - i've never used it, i can't relate to it. maybe it's convenience, maybe it's an insecurity thing - when i first joined over ten years ago, i definitely cared a lot more about how my writing was perceived and being seen as a 'good writer' or at the very least, not a 'bad writer' - i was always way too harsh and critical on myself and all this time later, my opinions have changed - a 'good writer' isn't someone who uses perfect grammar, flowery prose and commas and semicolons in all the right places. it's not someone who can write an essay in five minutes - and vice versa, a 'bad writer' isn't someone who doesn't use periods or commas or types in all lower caps and writes one liners and maybe that's why people turn to AI - thinking the way i did, being convinced their writing was crap, wanting to be a 'good writer', i dunno. being here for as long as i have, i've seen a lot of people's writing evolve on here in real time - like see people and their writing truly blossom and grow, whether that's through their writings or how their character has grown and evolved over the years, a lot of whom probably started out on this website when they were minors or not far off from minors. i don't really see writing as a talent, more as a skill that you refine and improve and practice on - and i think that's why leaning on AI for writing can be detrimental as while AI can be helpful, i feel like we can also get complacent using it or lean on it far too much. in my opinion, anyone who's always putting in the effort to improve and grow and take a crack at this every day is a 'good writer', that's it. the only 'bad writers' are the ones who tell themselves they're already shit and use that as an excuse not to improve, not to grow, not to keep at it. someone somewhere out there appreciates your writing and writing, i think, is a constant process.
#that's my two cents lmao#like i said i dunno anyone who uses AI for rp#i doubt anyone would admit to it#and these are just my speculations - i can't relate to using AI for writing#not judging just reflecting.#also yes that's not even getting into the grossness of people's actual writing being fed to AI#or people using AI to continue fanfics (so i've heard)#that's another topic.

~~~~~
In the distant past, after the chaos and flame subsided, many creatures baked by the witches scattered across the world. Among them were the Five. Five cookies graced with Soul Jam of the purest kind: Knowledge, Volition, Happiness, Change, and Solidarity. The Dessert World bound by these Five Virtues was nothing short of paradise...

That's how the story starts, that much hasn't changed. A group of five heroes, chosen by forces greater than themselves to protect the world of Earthbread against those seeking to destroy it. But the line between heroes and villains is one that can easily shift... given the right circumstances.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, after all, bringing them to the most tragic of ends... A fate even the Witches were unable to foresee. These five cookies, once heralded as saviors of all cookie-kind, became agents of chaos and destruction. The five virtues distorted and twisted, becoming Despair, Obstinacy, Ambition, Gluttony, and Discord.

Emboldened, the beasts ushered in an age of darkness, agony and strife that quickly spread across Earthbread. The Witches could not stand to see their creations suffer any longer. They stripped them of their powers and sealed the beasts within the seed of the Silver Tree. With the untainted remnants of the Soul Jam, they reforged and purified them into: Hope, Serenity, Prudence, Rebellion, and Harmony. With this, the creators sent the new Soul Jams back into the world with the hopes of finding cookies worthy enough to wield its power...
~~~~~
SYNOPSIS
Exchanged Fates is an alternative universe(AU) that takes the Five Ancient Heroes and switches them with their primeval predecessors, the Five Beasts. Alas, even with new heroes, the past still loves to repeat. As an old threat reawakens from a forgotten time, will these ancient heroes be able to stop him from finishing what he started?
This AU will be using the existing traits (and speculative ones for unreleased characters) of each character rather than simply swapping personalities. Due to the nature of this type of AU, the original plot of the source material will naturally be altered; meaning that in addition to new characters, locations, and establishing kingdoms, preexisting characters, plot lines, artifacts, etc., will either be altered or unchanged depending on their roles in the story.
For reference, here are the most notable swaps.
Pure Vanilla → Shadow Milk Hollyberry → Eternal Sugar Dark Cacao → Mystic Flour Golden Cheese → Burning Spice White Lily → Silent Salt Dark Enchantress → Oblivion Knight Cookie
Any posts related to this project will be located under the tag #exchangedfatesau. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to ask me in my inbox or in the comment section! Your support is greatly appreciated!

Ch 155 review:
woke up in the middle of the night and wrote ANOTHER huge bulk of a post, I'm having so much fun with this but maybe I should return to drawing persona fanarts again because I.. I'm pretty hopeless regarding mysteries but!! Here are my sincere thoughts about the latest chapter in more detail! I should really keep quiet till things clear up more. I believe so, but it's been really fun to hop into an ongoing series
This was originally written in a different language, then later translated through chatgpt. Chatgpt is so cool; ah I'm really sorry about what it does to the environment though; I won't use it a lot;
I hope to write quality content for those who love this work. That's how I feel. Haha. Well, I find it difficult to write forcefully, so at least I can say that I'm writing based on my affection. I'm not writing to get recognition(although it'd be nice).
Ah~~~.. Hahaha. For this episode's development, I realized how foolish I am because I forgot about Nino! But honestly, how was I supposed to know? That character, broadly speaking, might have contributed to Yura's death, but there was no indication that they did anything related to Goro's death. I don't watch many mystery shows, so when I made a plot guess last time, I dug a hole for myself in another post:
What I can't predict is what's going to happen next. There are too many variables and too much undisclosed information. As new information that hasn't been revealed yet comes to light, it makes it really hard to know.
Just like that.
The first emotion I felt after seeing the chapter was "?". What is this?? What are they trying to do?? And then, I felt really sorry for Ai. There's no sane person around. The person who definitely contributed to her death is her ardent fan (though I think even the term "fan" is too generous for that person). The suspected instigator is her ex-boyfriend or a colleague from the same group... there's really no one she can trust. Even though Ai hid many things and didn't show her true feelings and lied, it seems understandable, doesn't it?
I don't have any major speculations about Nino, but what I've understood is that the character "worships" Ai with some very twisted feelings. If there's a character who wants only the good sides of Ai to be shown to the world, it would be this one rather than Kamiki.
When I delve into analyzing the characters' emotions related to the story, I felt the part that needs explanation is Goro's death. Since Goro's death happened before Ai's death, the interpretation can vary greatly depending on whether it was intentional or just an accident. While many might focus on Yura's death, which is indeed very important, at least you could attach some psychotic criminal's delusional reason to it later. For the case of Goro's, however, it'd mean that there might have been someone other than Ryosuke already working against Ai behind the scenes before her death happened. Whether there were more people dissatisfied with Ai and her children other than Ryosuke is significant in determining how much it contributed to Ai's death.
I've been watching all along, but it didn't seem like Kamiki was involved in it, so I was confused. So, I think we need to sort out this part. This character doesn't seem to have much aversion to the fact that Ai had children, and there doesn't seem to be any reason for him to. From the moment he referred to Ruby as "indeed our child" in his first appearance, I got the feeling that this character recognizes the twins as something resulting from him and Ai, something between them, and doesn't view it so negatively. In that short sentence, there was a faint sense of affection. He doesn't seem to dislike being connected with Ai in one sentence, and the fact that there are children between them doesn't seem to be a bad thing from his perspective. You might think I'm overthinking based on one short sentence, but it's not just that; overall, his attitude when he actually appeared in front of the twins doesn't give any sense of dislike. The clincher was when he casually mentioned in chapter 153 that he has a father's heart. I thought, oh, this must be right.
Therefore, if Goro's death wasn't just an accident, I don't feel that this character would have any reason to harm Goro, who tried to protect Ai and their children and ensure their safe birth. (It could be explained as him being petty and harming Goro because he didn't like anyone else being close to Ai, but I think that's highly unlikely.) However, it still feels a bit off to think that Ryosuke acted alone to hide the body and everything else related to Goro's death.
If Nino were involved, it might make things clearer in this regard. But I don't know how insane Nino is (though She seems to be in very bad shape). I think there was some truth to the psychology of Nino that Kana portrayed...
B-Komachi, which was her and Ai's group, was going to perform at the dome, right? Which means Ai's career is shining even brighter even further. So what would this character gain by harming Ai at that point?
Ai did have a desire to reveal things about herself, though. Maybe this character wanted to stop her because he knew she wanted to expose things about herself and stop being the perfect idol worthy of worship?
From Kamiki's perspective, I think Ai revealing things about herself, especially if it was before the dome concert, might not have been such a bad thing. When the children were about four years old, he still wanted to get back together with her. If Ai had said, "I want to try liking someone, and I have children," then his career might have been ruined by the scandal but he might have been happy thinking, "Oh, Ai had feelings for me to that extent." She's THAT important to him, I believe.
But for Nino, it wouldn't have been the same, would it?
What keeps coming to my mind now is this lyric from Mephisto:
叶かなわないならばあなたになりたい
"If I can't make my wish come true, I want to become you."
Could it be that Nino wants to be like Ai, or even become Ai herself?
She's the one who's expressed her desire to be her (as portrayed by kana in ch 136)
Even if you view Mephisto's lyrics from Aqua's perspective, it doesn't seem like Aqua would say, "I want to become Ai." Of course, it's a powerful lyric expressing longing, so it resonates strongly emotionally. But their genders are different, their fields are somewhat different, and while Aqua seems to have a longing for the entertainment industry, he also tends to deny it.
Or it could be this: Seeing Nino's erased all the other members except herself and Ai in the poster, (she didn't erase her own existence) perhaps she might believe the one to be beside Ai is her and her alone? That might be how she thinks. :/
Adding one more suspect broadens the possibilities, but it seems like Akane and Aqua will explain everything on their own, so waiting might be safer. My guesses probably aren't going to be correct anyway.
What I can talk about more is Kamiki's reaction. Although it was a very quiet reaction, in some ways it was stronger than I expected because he accepted Ai's words completely. From his perspective, he was receiving a message he couldn't have imagined for fifteen years. There was no negative reaction like "No way, she's lying." He simply accepted, as in "I didn't know this," and remained silent.
In another post, I wrote my predictions for him like this:
If the songs are clues and there will be some kind of conflict in the future,
Just as Aqua has been doing things for Ai for years, this character might have been doing things too, and it's probably almost complete. His mindset is that as long as he accomplishes this, it doesn't matter what happens to him. He was planning to meet Aqua and see his daughter once before turning himself in.
But when he realizes that Ai, whom he truly loved, actually loved him back, he might feel like he's losing his mind.
There was a line he couldn't cross, thinking, "Okay, let's not do this," but now, having seen the video, he might cross it. Because he misses Ai so much and she's so precious to him, now he really wants to save the person he loves who also loved him (it seems like he's doing something to save her/see Ai again. Otherwise, the songs wouldn't be like this).
If he thought Ai didn't love him, his feelings (assuming he didn't intentionally kill her) would be guilt, obsession, and love-hate, so he wouldn't have any energy left. Because he has no attachment to himself, he'd have a resigned attitude like, "Alright, let's do this and die," and that's why he easily decided to turn himself in and show up in front of his children.
But if Ai loved him and actually wanted to be with him all along? Then if he was doing something for Ai, he wouldn't be able to give it up. So while he still has no attachment to himself, he might suddenly gain the energy for more extreme actions.
(I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't accurately predict all the emotional reactions.)
Instead of "losing his mind," it seemed closer to sinking and submerging... It looks like he was someone who could have understood Ai well if only he had the right opportunity.
But I did get it right that he wants to do something for Ai.
Actually, the speculation I wrote above was a bit extreme, thinking that, since it's a manga, the development might be more intense. So, it was a scenario that I didn't really think would happen! Considering the character's personality, I thought he would suffer greatly. That's as far as I thought (with the current information revealed, I'm still withholding much judgment about this character).
But he seems so precarious. I'm worried he might be found dead somewhere... I'm still questioning whether he's someone worth worrying about,
But I don't think it's zero possibility that he'll end up being a very pitiable character.
He's saying he'll do something for Ai, but what could that be? He himself is determined, but Ai is already dead.
Even if Ai has become a star and is watching over him, would she want him to struggle? If he really killed her, she wouldn't want him to do anything invoking her name as a murderer. But if it's truly a misunderstanding, then she wouldn't want him to suffer anymore.
The video Ai left contained a message asking Aqua and the others to help this person, so I think the latter is more likely. Although the video was recorded a long time ago, this is a manga. The timing of when a message is revealed is important to the development. Since this story has come out in the final chapter, I think there might be a situation where the main characters end up helping him...
No but, if Aqua just let this person go, and if Kamiki turns out to be a murderer, that could be extremely irresponsible, right? Even if he let him go, shouldn't he have recorded the conversation and reported it? He should have recorded it and reported it, but maybe he couldn't report it because it happened when Kamiki was a minor? But wouldn't he have been around nineteen when the kids were about four? Is it something too ambiguous to report? Still, the next story that gets mentioned involves at least three deaths. How can he calmly, perhaps leisurely, discuss with Akane that Nino(and him) was involved in the deaths of three people? You never know what a criminal might do if they're cornered mentally.
He said he was going to do something for Ai. If that something is killing people, then it's dangerous for Aqua to just let him go. But since Aqua did let him go, it seems like he doesn't think that's the case.
So, the theory that he committed serial killings to ensure no one surpassed Ai is probably incorrect.
Additionally, there's no mention anywhere of serial killings actually happening, right? It could just be those three deaths. That doesn't mean he's not a murderer. If there had been serial killings of celebrities, it would have been mentioned in the story, right? There should have been some hints, like someone saying, "Hey, this actor who was doing well suddenly disappeared," but I don't recall anything like that. It would have been better if there had been at least some hints. Everyone naturally speculated that he might have committed serial killings to ensure no one surpassed Ai, and based on the way the scenes were portrayed, it did seem that way. But since it hasn't been mentioned so far, it could be that such events never happened.
The mention of bearing the weight of lives came up when the Uehara couple died. Kamiki was very distressed, saying, "Do I have to bear even that?" He seemed to be thinking that because of him, Ai died, and so did the Uehara couple, and now an actor has died too. He seems to be self-deprecating, thinking, "Yeah, someone else died because of someone like me." His way of speaking is really strange though... Is there a reason why he feels he needs to elevate the value of his own life?
When I saw the lyrics of "Fatal," I thought, "This is it," because it hints at "something that needs to be filled." What can fill the void? As the lyrics suggest, "a lack of Ai", it seems to be Ai. If you look at the song alone, it’s about wanting to revive someone he really wants to see, right? "Mephisto" is the same, and since it's a double hit, I thought, "Ah, then that's it. That's why he's moving."
あらゆる望のぞみの総すべてを叶かなえたら ああ果はたせたら
"If all wishes are granted, if they come true,
あなたに会あいたい
I want to meet you.
星ほしに願ねがいをかけて
Wishing upon a star"
Anyway, stars are important. I noticed that stars appear quite often in the manga.
When I first heard "IDOL" and sometimes when I hear certain songs for the first time, I feel an overwhelming rush of emotions. It's a really amazing and exhilarating feeling.
However, if I listen to the song repeatedly, that emotion dulls, and I become less sensitive to it over time.
When I first heard "Fatal," I felt an immediate and intense sensation. It was as if someone was desperately searching and longing for something immensely significant. As soon as I felt that emotion, I instinctively thought, "This must be it," and it struck me so strongly that it became the reason I've been writing a lot lately.
The songs from Persona 3 were like that too. However, while Persona 3's songs had a warmth that supported the heart, a sense of resolve and determination, the songs from this manga feel like they are heavily spiced with MSG. The intensity of the emotions is incredibly fierce and strong. So, I often find myself wondering, "Is this okay? Is this okay?" But then I realize, yes, this is the kind of emotion being conveyed. It's raw but in a different way.
Considering the emotions that have been flowing so far, I felt strongly that Kamiki must be the one that's being depicted. Does anyone else feel similarly to me? Haha. So, I was just observing till that point, but then I couldn't help but dive in, thinking, "This has to be it."
These days, there are so many horrifying, disturbing, and distressing news stories, and it feels like the sentences given to offenders only add insult to injury for the victims(it's very short and light here). I hate it so much. I wish the term "dating violence" would disappear; it should be replaced with another term because that's not love.
So, while watching the developments in this manga, I feel like... I really don't want to empathize with or sympathize with the perpetrator, even in fiction. I understand that fiction can be separate from the reader's morals and I respect that, but when I think about the emotions between the characters in this manga, it doesn't feel like it's the same as those horrifying real-life cases. I really hope it's not. I'm not looking for it to not be like that on purpose; it's just that something feels off...
When watching the scenes with Ai's video, at first, my heart ached, but as time went on, I kept thinking, "Kamiki, you better get your act together." If this character has done things worthy of criticism, I absolutely don't intend to condone those actions even a bit, and I believe they should pay for their crimes!
But I think it's okay to wait and see for now? Am I really the type to get easily fooled? Haha. Still, I believe I have a good sense of understanding when it comes to emotions... I got Aqua and Kana right, and maybe that's why I got excited and gained momentum. It was exactly as I thought, for their case.
Well, we'll have to wait and see. I'm going to stay quiet for now. But if I'm going to draw fan art, I need to have a clear understanding of the emotions, which is important to me. If I can't predict what this character is feeling, I can't touch it.
Kana is really great in this regard. She's a character who doesn't need to overthink, so it's really comforting. While everyone else is complicated and holding secrets, leaving me to wonder "when the heck did you find out about that?" having new conversations among themselves, Kana is relatively easy to understand... what you see is what you get.
Or Ai, since she's shown almost everything (there's one video left), I might be able to do something with her too.
I liked the character Akane because of the profiling scenes. It didn't feel entirely like someone else's business because I do some degree of psychological analysis on the characters I handle. So that could maybe be why the range of characters I can manage isn't that wide depending on the genre. I usually focus on less than 5 characters and examine them REALLY deeply. The types I can understand and handle well are quite distinct for me. However, I want to dive deeply into the characters I do handle.
To create proper fan works, you need a lot of pieces of the puzzle. I might end up being off the mark, but I'm still doing it seriously when I make fan work!
I'm very happy when I hear good comments regarding such area :) I really want to do a good job. For now, I will stay on watch and see how things play out for now.

DO NOT REPOST MY ART. if you wanna use it for non-commercial means, ask for permission & if allowed, credit me when used. if you wanna use it for commercial means, at least talk to me first.
my native language isn't english. sometimes i make mistakes! shit happens.
i do not romantically ship the band members themselves or their stage personas and i find it uncomfortable in general (for myself). i DO still depict affection and even flirting between them on occasion, but in my specific case it's strictly platonic, and while i can't control how others perceive it, i would appreciate not seeing any romantic insinuations under my art.
adding onto the previous point, whenever i talk about the vessels in terms of lore & adjacent, i am talking about them as my own characters. always. this blog is not for speculating on their private lives, and if you do so, you will be blocked. also please stop.
i will only discuss any of the sexual connotations in the lyrics with the weight and importance they deserve. while i understand other folks finding their music "sexy", that makes me, personally, uncomfortable; however, i will not disregard the sexual aspect of it either way.
i would appreciate people not leaving NSFW comments on my art, especially the more emotionally heavy stuff, thank you very much! if you really Have to say something, please do it in a separate post or just in a place where i'm unlikely to see it.
even if i might tag my writing as "theories", they aren't necessarily intended as such. if anything, i'm telling a story of my own based on the lyrics. however, if someone else gleans something else from my art, please feel free to talk about it! i love people's takes! yippee yay!
adding onto the previous point (x2), a lot of the time i interpret the lyrics in tandem with my personal life experiences. it will absolutely get a little too real here. if the subject matter is too heavy, it will be tagged with #[subject] and #[subject] tw.
let me know if you want/need me to tag anything specific! either in an ask or in my DMs. don't hesitate to reach out about that :]
in addition to everything, i will be (VERY RARELY) posting about my Sleep Token D&D AU, which is as simple as it sounds and also not at all. it's also very removed from my "main canon" or most of the band IRL, so it's really just me (& @mapleborealis !) fucking around. also, unlike the "main canon", they are a polycule and all kiss with tongue /hj

d&d au:
#sleep token dnd and #dnd au - general au tags
#dnd au vessel/ii/iii/iv/etc. - character-specific d&d au posts
little clarifying moments:
#espera - tag for the live background vocalists and wonderful women whom i cherish and love (MIGHT be their maskless posts on rare occasions)
#sleep token him - separate tag for whatever Vessel and Sleep were pre-Sundowning. you can learn more on that in my posts about it.
#sparrowverse (thank you @fivewholeminutes for the name) - everything related to the lore of a timeline alternate to my main lore in which each vessel of Sleep has to kill the one before them to assume their place, as outlined in my fanfic "kill the sparrow". there isn't much to it right now but there might be more trust
#bygone talks#sleep token#sleep token worship#i truly hope i can keep this sideblog going#unlike my other ones#i do have plenty to talk about though so it should be fine for a while lol

#I saw somewhere that a professor was giving out C grades for AI essays because that's what the general quality was#if the student wanted a better grade they can do better than AI
This is true, AI-written essays are pretty bad and generally don't get decent grades even if you "get away with it". It's like getting your roommate to write your paper for you except in this case your roommate is an idiot who can't write for shit (and lives in a datacenter).
But also perhaps I should specify more what I'm talking about. The class discussion I'm hoping to have isn't about whether or not my students should use AI for their papers (they shouldn't), but more about how the emergence of this new technology might affect the way we think about and engage with the concepts & practices of writing & research in the near-ish future.
Personally, I've got this idea that if we play our cards right, the AI-writing thing could be a way to pivot into getting more focus on better writing skills. Now that crappy formulaic writing can be produced at the press of a button, the very type of writing that college instructors have been trying to exorcise from their students for years (the type that's optimal for standardized tests and useless for anything else) has lost any kind of value it used to have. So if we really lean into "well now you need to make your writing interesting & creative in order to outperform the machine" the zeitgeist might break in favor of the humanities for once. Switch from telling our students "you're not writing for a standardized test, I'm actually going to read this and think about it" to "you are not a robot! YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING!"
Anyway, not necessarily looking for something on that exact topic; that's just a thought I have on it. (I'm pretty sleep-deprived, sorry if I'm rambling.) But stuff in that vein: how should we think about these things in relation to the writing/research work we're doing? What effects can we speculate about coming down the line? Etc. etc.
Hey, y'all, I've got a request that I feel this corner of Tumblr is probably well-equipped to address. I'm updating the syllabus for my course on introductory writing & research, and given recent technological developments, I feel there's something I should try and address at some point in the semester.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a text (scholarly article, popular article, book I can excerpt a chapter from, whatever) that discusses the implications of LLMs/"AI" on writing and/or research at a level accessible to your average undergraduate? I'm trying to find something that could spur a productive class discussion, and want to make sure I look at as many options as are available.
Thanks!

I made this analysis in between my postgraduate studies, so pls understand that the analysis is very messy, irregular, broken, and the pictures don’t include it
At first look at Haibara Ai's character settings.
The following content is mainly developed from Haibara Ai’s perspective.
If Akai Shuichi is the most unpredictable character in the entire show, then Haibara Ai is the most complicated and contradictory character in the show.
At first, when I saw manga and animation, my focus was mainly on the storyline. When I really wanted to write a character analysis, went back to the summary and suddenly found that Haibara Ai's character value had almost skyrocketed. The words to describe her feelings were simply extraordinary.
At first, let's look at the main characteristics of this character.
In terms of language skills, she is fluent in at least four languages: Japanese, English, Spanish, and Russian. In terms of professional knowledge: pharmacy, chemistry, biology, physic, astronomy, mathematic, computer programming, literature, politic, history, art history (and many more). She can shoot, drive (even in Haibara Ai's body), ride a Harley, has strong observation and alertness, and is intelligent and reasoning.
Compared to the other main characters, Conan was poisoned by Gin, so his main goal is to transform back into Kudo Shinichi and destroy the organization that made him smaller. Akai Shuichi entered the FBI to investigate the reason for his father's disappearance, and he found the organization and regards the destruction of the organization as the ultimate goal, which is also clearly explained. Agasa is a tool man, providing technical support for Conan to become a superhuman. Ran's goal was simple and clear, just waiting for Kudo Shinichi to return. Gin's ultimate goal is to find and kill all traitors, and complete the tasks assigned by the organization. The fate of these characters seems clear.
How about Haibara Ai ?. Her parents died, and her sister also died, she became homeless. As of now, there has been no official CP in the plot that could make her pursue a happy ending like Mouri Ran. I haven't found any solid plot evidence to prove whether she wants to return to Shiho Miyano, but at least in her life goal, she doesn't want to destroy the organization's plans, because in the first place, the power of the organization is too strong, and she can't handle it, and secondly, she has no intention of destroying the organization. Her level of fear is greater than her level of hatred, and she is always in a state where she just wanted to hide.
Then what is the fate of Haibara Ai ?.
Under the contradiction between the character setting of such a strong attribute value and the meaning of existence it is logical to bring up the self-contradiction of Haibara's character at an early stage. On the one hand, she was afraid of being persecuted by the organization, wanted to hide and run away, she wanted to live, but on the other hand, because she thought she had no one in this world, she hoped to use her own life as a price for the safety of the people around her. (Little Red Riding Hood, Full Moon, Train, etc). All of them have related plots that can clearly prove this point. Therefore, this kind of complex character design related to active survival and pessimistic death, can be considered the biggest contradiction of Haibara Ai's character. I wish she can appreciate her life more.
If this character is HE, then this contradiction is a problem that must be resolved in the future development of the plot. From the perspective of the initial plot, it seems that there is a long way to go, but the main path has come to this point, and some clues and hopes can be seen equivocally.
First of all, Haibara Ai will most likely has HE. So, she will have to return to Miyano Shiho in the end, then the next question is, where should she go after she transforms back?
Watching Higo, cooking for kids, scolding Professor. Someone mentioned this stage, Haibara Ai is already a bit OOC, but I think it's an inevitable plot. Because if she always only becomes Haibara Ai who is always sad like in the early stages, then she will never be able to reach the real HE.
Let's take a look at Haibara Ai's Harem:
Conan Edogawa
Among all CP Haibara Ai, Co-Ai is undoubtedly the most popular CP. It didn't take long for Ai to appear on stage, and until now the usual CP fights are still seen everywhere. First of all, I personally don't like this kind of couple, because Conan is a character who can match Ai in terms of experience, intelligence, and ability.
I went to the analysis of Co-Ai side looking for in-depth analysis post from Co-Ai's side, but I was a little disappointed that I didn't find the content that really convinced me, maybe this also had something to do with me reading it with Shu-Ai's preconceived thoughts, but after rational analysis, I still feel that there were too many loopholes.
In addition to the evidence and clues provided by Co-Ai, let me talk about my perspective on Co-Ai. For Ai's partner, for me as long as it's not Mitsuhiko in the end, I can accept everyone. In all elections, Conan is nothing more than a good candidate, but the probability is zero.
First of all, Conan has a clear official heroine, and the plot has come a long way. If the picture of Aoyama suddenly turns into Co-Ai, it will create a lot of holes, and quite a lot of bugs, and it is a problem for the Shin-Ran party to leave holes and tear the book, and it is expected that this manga will be taken off the shelf directly.
Let's see how Ai feels towards Conan.
They met when Haibara Ai ran away from the organization and had no relatives. At that time, Ai was very vulnerable, sensitive, and had low self-esteem. Even though Agasa gave Ai a good shelter, he's not the same age as her, and didn't share the same fate, it would be difficult to communicate. At this moment, when Conan appeared by her side, Ai couldn't help but feel dependent. Later in the process of getting along, Ai discovers Conan's extraordinary intelligent mind abilities, and his high sense of justice, and began to be attracted to him, and both of them became victims of drugs. The good feeling here was just a good feeling, it was a respect and sympathy, because they have a common enemy and a common secret.
If Ai has a male-female relationship with Conan, she shouldn't be so free and easy to tease him. Instead, she will be sad and even jealous. Compare to when Ai mistakenly thought that Yoko Okino and Higo was dating, Aoyama emphasized it was just liking idols, but when it came to Ran, she was nonchalant, and sometimes made jokes, and she was more sympathized to Ran than Conan.
In terms of emotional intelligence, Ai is much more mature than Conan. In terms of personality, Ai is the queen of the iceberg, and Conan is the straight human type. No matter from which point of view, they are not very harmonious. Most of the CPs in this comic, Heiji-Kazuha, Shin-Ran, Makoto-Sonoko, Takagi-Sato, Shiratori-Kobayashi, are a pair of one strong and one weak.
Even though Ai is strong, don't forget that Conan is also arrogant, and when the two of them face each other. What will happen from this CP?.
Mitsuhiko
It doesn’t need to explain.
Higo Ryusuke
This is a reasoning manga, the focus is on destroying the organization, Conan and Haibara will change back after defeating the organization (humans can't turn back time). Everyone can fall in love before the organization is destroyed. How many times did Haibara have to transform back into Shiho for a love story ?. It's very dangerous to change back every time just to make a love story with Higo. He has nothing to do with the main plot, and it is possible to fall in love with her when Haibara becomes her normal body, but will Aoyama write a love story like this after finishing the organization’s plot, after the main plot is completed??
Amuro Toru & Hakuba Saguru
I'm going to cry writing this. At first lets talk about Amuro Toru.
According to the writer Amuro's character was originally black, but to be honest, when the plot got to this point, I still felt that Amuro was a little bit good and bad, unlike Gin or Shuichi, who were very clearly black and red. Then there are so many bugs. Although Aoyama said that if there was Char there must be Amuro, but why did the Gundam settings have to be copied like this. He's not enough to pay tribute by having Char ?. Why should he gave him another opponent to fight ?
Amuro first joined Japanese public security to find out Miyano Elena, and Miyano Elena died 17 years ago. So, his investigation found that his first love was dead. Was Amuro pursued further investigations ?. He was trying so hard to disguise himself in the organization just because of orders from his superior ? ?
In addition, the first action of the Bourbon character, who had foreseen only to find the missing Sherry. This setting gave people a very far-fetched feeling. I don't know if this is my hunch, I have been always worried that there would be a major reversal of the plot one day, and Amuro will turn out to be two-faced. Because the reason why he joined the red faction really made his revolutionary position indecisive.
He clearly knew that Akai is a red faction, but he still wanted to capture him and hand him over to the organization for credit.
Compared to Akai's steady demeanor from start to finish, Amuro's appearance is somewhat less considered.
Moreover, after Amuro's appearance the target of the investigation changed again and again. First, Sherry then Shuichi Akai, then Conan and Sleeping Kogoro, and finally started checking on Sera.
So, what Amuro wants to do ?. Even though I have a feeling, he will join after being invited for tea, but it feels like something is wrong.
Although I found this character very shrewd, sometimes he did random things. Not many serious clues to be found, but the coffee just got better. Although he has many films, but in general so far, I personally felt that this character formation was quite a failure, although I have no opinion about him, after all he is also a character with all kinds of skills.
If it's purely to make money selling him, then I'm speechless.
Amuro's background is currently unknown, and the only information I can find that he is of mixed blood and has been bullied because of his hair color and skin color. It's similar to Ai, but other than that, the two have met a few times, and then no more. Unless Aoyama fills the hole for Amuro's background.
Next Hakuba Saguru. Ai-chan, how did your harem get to the next manga. He and Shiho had never met each other, even though both of them had similar appearances, the same temperament, and the same hair, but even if they were forced to match each other, they might just end up as long lost siblings in the end. (At this rate, then Miyano and his wife are suspended, and then they can draw 1000 episodes, and DC has become a series for life).
• Moroboshi Dai
When I was a sweet niece, I didn't care much about CP, and I was just a passing reader, now that I've become an aunt. As I've gotten older, my perspective has changed a lot since I was young, and I have some new comprehensions about this character pair. If you have different opinions, you can discuss it together~
1. Judging from the setting of the entire story structure
First of all, in my opinion, Miyano Akemi only appears in one episode, the episode in which she is killed, of course this almost disproportionate role is the fate of all extra characters, but regardless of the main plot. Looking only at the story of Akai Shuichi, Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai, we will find that everything started after Miyano Akemi was killed and Miyano Shiho escaped from the organization and became Haibara Ai.
In movies, dramas, or literature, almost all authors will design a backstory for their characters, which is an indispensable content to make the character's image deeply rooted in people's hearts. But in Detective Conan, the past of Akai Shuichi and Miyano Akemi, we can hardly dig up any useful information. My guess is that there are two possibilities here;
First, the author is too mean, deliberately leaving a large blank space to appeal to people's imagination and taste. Of course, this is Aoyama's usual trick, but I personally don't think it is the main goal, because this manga is called Detective 'Conan', not Detective 'Shuichi'. It is clear that Shuichi isn’t the protagonist. If the deliberate concealment of their past was to whet the audience's taste, it would be a little excessive, and for readers who focus on Shin-Ran, if they don't really like Shuichi or Akemi's role, hardly notice Aoyama's little trick, could it be that he wants to whet the audience's taste if he doesn't explain it, or explain it, they don't care.
The original plot was like this:
Moroboshi Dai's rebellion → Akemi is killed → Shiho refuses to continue developing the drugs → Shiho is locked up by Gin → Takes the drug and turns into Haibara Ai.
In my opinion, if Shuichi and Akemi were an official couple, it would be more logical to see the following situation:
Moroboshi Dai rebels and takes Akemi away → Shiho is suspected by Gin → locked up by Gin → takes a drug and becomes Haibara Ai.
Why should the author let Akemi die? The reason is cruel, but very realistic: because Haibara Ai is the heroine, and the heroine needs CP, so Akemi must die.
I want to talk about Akemi's death, and most people seem to be confused whether Shuichi should save Akemi or not. I would like to have an opinion.
First of all, let's think about what the FBI is. It's the FBI, not the police, let alone the rescuers. In many American crime movies, FBI investigators play annoying characters. They are discreet and cold-blooded, and often start from completing tasks given by superiors, and do whatever they can to achieve their goals, so many people feel that they are completely inhuman.
In the Conan series, I don't know why the FBI is meddling business in Japan (originally they wanted to catch the silver haired killer who ran to Japan, but now they are meddling in the business of Japanese organization) but their essence as the FBI will not change. Their goal is to investigate and destroy the organization. In their eyes, Akemi and the organization are the same thing. In their eyes, Akemi's robbery plan was probably just an internal dispute within the organization. They just needed to sit on the sidelines and reap the rewards.
Let's take another look at Akemi's role, I still don't know exactly what she does in the organization. She's simple, kind, not a scientist, not a computer technician, can't shoot, doesn't understand espionage.
So no matter what her specific position is, we can be sure that this is an unimportant role, so is her role valuable to the FBI??
The reason is the same, because she is just an extra.
Then go to the main topic. Regarding Miyano Shiho and Moroboshi Dai, at this stage I use the name Moroboshi Dai. So, we focus on the relationship between them in the organization. Some are just speculation, as there was too little related content in the original manga, I can only push back the relationship between Shuichi-Ai . Thinking back to when Ai complained that Conan didn't save Akemi and burst into tears, we can see that Ai would be very sensitive and irrational in matters related to her sister's death. For the parties involved in the robbery, Conan was just a passer-by. Who determined that a smart person should save the lives of everyone around the world ?. Who says a detective has an absolute duty to stop people from doing stupid things everywhere ?. Ai is a smart person, she was really angry at Conan who points out that this incident was really an indelible pain for her.
As I had analyzed earlier, in Akemi's case, although Moroboshi Dai wasn't the direct cause of her death, it was more or less related to him. The appearance of Moroboshi Dai gave Akemi illusory and unreal dreams for the future. So, Akemi has a plan to rob and threaten the organization to take her sister away to find Moroboshi Dai.
Ai scolded Conan which had nothing to do with it, why wasn't she angry at Moroboshi Dai?. In the manga and animation, Ai remembered Moroboshi Dai several times, and she never even feels angry. Animation team added clenching action, maybe they did it without permission.
Original text (File 231)


"I fell in love with you from the first time I met you"
Many Co-Ai parties believe that this is Ai who secretly confesses to Conan through dialogue in script rehearsals. Since the possibility of Co-Ai has been analyzed above, there is no need to dispute this perspective here.
Let's take a closer look at the content of the conversation,
"There's no mistaking it, she's starting to realize your true identity..."
"There's no point in tricking her anymore, it'll hurt her..."
"Why would you say such a thing to me?"
"Your eyes of justice can see the heart of evil, but you cannot see a woman’s heart"
"I fell in love with you the first time I saw you"
"Mr. Kamen Yaiba..."
*Brain Hole Warning :
Shiho: Exactly. She (Akemi) starting to realize your true (Moroboshi Dai) identity (in disguise).
Shiho: There's no point in tricking her... it’ll hurt her.
Moroboshi Dai: Why do you say such a things to me...
Shiho: Your eyes of justice can see through the heart of evil, but you can't see a woman’s heart ?
Shiho: I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, didn't you notice it?
Shiho: Moroboshi Dai?
This scene could also refer to Kudo Shinichi and Ran here, but doesn't everyone feel that the relationship between Moroboshi Dai and Akemi was even more similar ?.
From the original manga, we knew that Akemi was well aware of the fact that Moroboshi Dai was the FBI, so now think about it, Akemi as a simple person can figure it out, and Shiho who is very intelligent, won't she notice it?
Back to the content above, Akemi's death, Moroboshi Dai's big defection. Ai showed no anger or resentment towards him.
So my guess...
Could it be... Could it be...
Shiho was actually secretly in love with Moroboshi Dai back then ?. Shiho was 15-16 years old when her feelings of love began to develop. When she met a very good person, became her friend, said the promise of protection for her. Will she really... fall down?
In the plot proof provided by Co-Ai Parties, there was a lot of content in the early stages of animation (there are more than 100 episodes) At that time, Ai debuted not long ago. At this time, Aoyama added some suspicious Co-Ai plots, in my opinion there may be 2 purposes.
1. To test the market, because in the beginning Conan was a short story, Akai shuichi has not been made, and all CP was not fully formed, and maybe not many people are chasing Conan. The addition of Co-Ai was possible to test the audience to see which CP was more popular.
2. It might be a shadow for Shu-Ai.
So, because Aoyama still made at Ai suspected of falling in love with Conan even though Kudo Shinichi already has Ran, could it be that based on the story of Moroboshi Dai and Akemi what the writer wants to reveal is that Shiho was really in love with Moroboshi Dai at that time.
In the original it was known in the organization Shiho and Moroboshi Dai were friends, because some of Ai's memories were all good memories, but after watching various plots from Co-Ai, I suddenly found many doubts about the relationship between Moroboshi Dai and Shiho.
It was assumed that during the organization, Shiho secretly liked Moroboshi Dai, but Shiho didn’t know that Moroboshi Dai and Akemi were actually in a fake relationship. Since he was her sister's lover, she could only silently retreat backwards and suppress everything in her heart. Even though it's very sad, but that person is her sister, what can Shiho do ?

The picture above is another plot proof provided by Co-Ai Parties. They analyzed that the dolphin here refers to Ran, and the shark refers to Ai herself. There's no problem with this, but don't forget, there's another girl who is like a dolphin beside Ai. If Shiho really liked Moroboshi Dai at first, but she didn't know that Moroboshi Dai was in disguise, facing a sister like a dolphin, Shiho would also feel inferior. As I said above, if you love someone secretly, you will feel sad and jealous in your heart. These two plots are noteworthy.
I think the part about dolphin and shark that is worth noting is that a large part of Ai's affection for Ran was a projection of her feelings for Akemi. That's why I assumed, in the early stages Ai stayed away from Ran because she was still running away from Akemi's death.
Brain Hole Warning
The first guess is that Shiho probably knew that Moroboshi Dai liked her, based on his promise of protection, but because of her sister, Shiho could only avoid facing her feelings all the time, stressing to herself that he was her sister's lover.
The second guess is that from his promise of protection, Shiho might suspected that Moroboshi Dai wasn't black, but Ai didn't know that Moroboshi Dai has explained his identity to her sister, and she didn't know he broke up with her sister 2 years ago. So, her description about him is still "sister's lover", not "former lover".
The third guess is that Shiho might have tought that Moroboshi Dai's caring attitude towards her was because her sister, Shiho might have thought that only bridge between them was her sister. Combining with the shark and dolphin theory, everyone likes dolphin, Shiho probably thought Moroboshi Dai liked her sister, so Shiho suppressed all her feelings. Then after her sister died, there was no connection between them anymore, but suddenly Moroboshi Dai (Okiya Subaru) reappeared beside Haibara Ai, and maybe Ai thought, could it be this person is by her side just because her sister's death. Seeing Ai's expression was a little sad in the chapter bubble,smoke.
To prevent Conan from involving Ran in a confrontation with the organization, Ai is willing to help Conan hide his identity.
File 503 In order to prevent Ran from getting hurt, she was willing to put aside her indifference and high-handed attitude and begged bitterly.
File 820 When she faces threats from the organization, she will rely on Ran.
Source : File 423

Therefore, file 251 and file 423 Ai deliberately avoided Ran, deliberately pretended to sleep, and said "Did I run away......" not because she liked Conan and was jealous of Ran, but because Ran was kind with her like Akemi, and when Ai saw Ran and her care for her, it was difficult for Ai to hide her sadness at losing her sister and accept that she lost her sister because of herself, and it was difficult for her to face Akemi's death.
"My sister did it for me..." In Ai's mind, Akemi lost her life because Shiho couldn't prevent her when Shiho had sniffed organization’s smell from her sister and knew her sister had committed a crime, and she held a strong sense of guilt towards her.
The author compares Akemi to Ran, who has a similar personality, bright and cheerful, implying Shiho's complicated feelings for Akemi.
This is also the first hint of the shark dolphin theory:
She is the dolphin that everyone loves, she is bathed in sunshine and warmth.
I was the shark that everyone hated, there was only cold and darkness around me.
Akemi is very bright and kind, everyone likes her, she lives a normal life.
Shiho loved Akemi, for Akemi she was willing to trade her freedom for Akemi's normal life, for Akemi she never mentioned the threat of the organization to her, she understood Akemi's feelings of losing her parents, she appreciated everything Akemi gave her, but Shiho also envied Akemi who had a bright life, could go to a normal university and make normal friends, get a lover, but Shiho could not have it all.
In addition, the attitude of inferiority that Haibara Ai faced in the early stages: "She is a dolphin, everyone likes dolphin." I don't think she's talking about Ran, but Ran's character reminds her of her sister and "that person". By the time that chapter Akai Shuichi had officially appeared, Aoyama must have made a Shu-Ai line and I think for Co-Ai arrangement, Aoyama might have had such an arrangement in the early days of manga, but after the Shu-Ai line gradually came out, Aoyama didn't play Co-Ai, and Aoyama never clearly answers, does Ai likes conan, he keeps the reader guessing.
Does Ai really like Conan?
In the original manga, Ai understood the unspeakable pain between Shin-Ran and never showed jealousy, and often supported Ran.


Faced with Ayumi and Mitsuhiko asking her if she likes Conan, she never blushes to cover up for being exposed by others. Taking a closer look at the chapter, what image did Haibara think of Conan? Those are all pictures of Conan saved her or promised to protect her. According to this, what Haibara liked about Conan is a sense of justice, pursuing the truth, bearing pressure alone, and promising to protect her. (Like someone in the past)


A little denial of the narrative trick, Yukiko said "Women will stare at a man if there is something on his face or they are in love with him"
In the photo taken by Akai's subordinates, Ai was looking back which means Ai already knew that someone was following them from the beginning, that's why Ai kept fidgeting and worrying, so she kept looking at Conan. So, Conan is not insensitive to Ai's feelings here, Conan can guess the emotional expressions of the suspects, Conan just can't guess Ran's emotional expressions, the girl he likes. So, Conan said "It's impossible for Haibara to fall in love" here it is true that Conan did not feel Ai seeing him because she was in love, but because she was worried about the people following them.
File 423
Ai's inner monologue "You still don't understand …... you don't understand anything...but I don't want you to understand..."
What do you understand? The author didn't write it out.
① If combined with the scene where Ai dreams of Conan protecting her, the meaning here is that I like you, but you don't know, and I don't want you to know.
② If combined with Ai deliberately pretending to be asleep to avoid worrying Ran, the meaning here can also be understood as “you” (referring to Conan) don't understand why I don't want to face Ran, you don't understand my feelings for my sister.
(Shiho is the character with the most complex emotions written by the author, with a variety of intertwined emotions, it is difficult to explain clearly from a single perspective.)
According to this, Ai projects her feelings for Akemi on Ran, and projects her past emotional experiences on Shin-Ran's feelings. She is unable to face Ran not only because of her guilt for not being able to save Akemi, but also because of guilt at her complicated feelings in the Dai-Shi-Ake emotional relationship, and Shiho chooses her own position in the emotional relationship with Moroboshi Dai, liked him secretly.
Combined with the shark and dolphin theory, the second layer of clues can be extended:
Moroboshi Dai is a good man, Akemi is kind, everyone likes Akemi, Moroboshi Dai must also liked Akemi, I won't tell anyone about my heart, I will secretly protect them with everything I have. (Similar to the emotional connection in Manga "Touch")
Combining the above details, it can be concluded that the author implies Shiho's past emotional experience in the same situation. In Shin-ran's emotional connection, Ai casts her own shadow, and in Conan, there are certain character traits where Shiho thinks of other person and projects her feelings.
What kind of person is that person?
Someone she fell in love with at first sight.
He is a person who has a sense of justice and bears too much pressure.
A man who promised to protect her.
It is one that she doesn’t want to say "goodbye" to.
A man who left beautiful memories but had left.
She could only hide her feelings for him and didn't want him to know.

Haibara thought that Conan would confess when he received chocolate from Ran, but Conan didn't do it.
"The annoying man she is waiting for never showed up, I don't want to see her tears again, even though I have to leave her heart."
"You two are so painful..."
Specifically refers to Ran because she missed Kudo, she was sad, but she has to pretend to be strong on the surface, because Conan didn't want to involve Ran, he wanted to express himself, but he was speechless. Emotionally they were in pain.


Looking at the case in chapter 379, Itakura's shogi playmate who has been friends for 20 years was the killer, this case explains that human feelings can change. Ran was worried about Shinichi who changed because she thought Shinichi was somewhere far away, then Akai Shuichi appeared, looking for Shiho, who had not met for 2 years. (So the girl Shuichi mentioned isn't closer to Shiho's situation than Akemi's?).
Seeing this case with Ai's monologue in flower language chapter 337, don't you have the same feeling?

Haibara gave an inner monologue about flower life. This passage is translated into connotation — flower refers to feeling.
The feeling is fragile and short-lived. If not properly cared for, it will not be able to withstand wind and rain. Throughout this chapter, Haibara bemoans emotional issues, but this kind of relationship clearly doesn't refer to a family relationship, and it's clear that the emotion here express the emotional states of both parties. The fact that Haibara could expresses such emotions, largely indicates that she, herself had a similar experience .
Therefore, the emotion here implies that Haibara and Conan have the same emotional psychology, and there is an emotional object, for some reason, she just like Conan, can only keep her feelings for 'that person' in her heart.
File 371. The title of this chapter is “Red Trap”, look at "The Red Woman” Chapter, and Sera is Akai's sister. This is may be a clue.

"No wonder you decided to give up, the memory of the person who doesn’t exist will remain forever, and the memory will remain in that person's heart forever... ".
The original text is "いなくなちゃった人" (The person who no longer exist). It doesn't just mean death. If following Conan's answer "I'm not dead ...", then the author can use the word “dead / passed away” (亡くなった/死亡). So, "The person who doesn't exist" here "The person who doesn't come back". It doesn't refer to the dead, nor refers to Conan.
This implies that there was someone in Ai's heart who left her with good memories, and that person has left.

"That must be something she wanted to say, but couldn't say... Goodbye is a sad word that pierces the feelings together..."
Haibara expressed her emotions again. According to the background of the story in which this sentence was spoken, there must be an object that has left without saying goodbye.

Ai remembered Moroboshi Dai. In fact, we all knew who Moroboshi Dai was. Why does Ai always have to add a "Sister's Lover" image on the left to emphasize.
My guess is that this might be an obstacle that Ai has never overcome, and this is also a place she was very worried about. It didn't matter whether Moroboshi Dai was a fake or real lover, he was the one her sister once liked.
Another point of the image on the left, since it is Ai's memory, it must be a sight she saw with her own eyes, since Moroboshi Dai had that expression in her memory, does that mean Shiho also knew at that time that Moroboshi Dai was not sincere?
Even though Shiho was young, she was a very rational person. She worked in an organization, but in reality she had to keep her head down. I don't know if she ever thought about escaping from the organization, but if she found out that Moroboshi Dai wasn't black, it's possible.
I've written so much about this CP pair, and I'm going to summarize my brain hole that fat might beat.
If the guess above is my over-interpretation, and Shiho had no other feelings for Moroboshi Dai other than friends, then whether he is Subaru or Akai who appeared in front of Ai one day, they still had a long way to go. The key point is still Akemi, how Shuichi can make Ai cross Akemi's limits is the culmination of the relationship between the two.
If as I thought, even if there was a slight chance that Shiho had ever liked Moroboshi Dai, then the path would be easier for Shuichi in the future.
Next, let's look at the Miyano Akemi robbery case again.
Source 313 : Courage is a word of truth to raise one's spirit, it should not be used for the reason of killing someone.

Most people probably forget about Aoyama's values. He doesn't like crimes for love or anything. That's why he doesn't really like and care about Akemi's character. She's just like the perpetrator in Conan's daily episode. Therefore, Aoyama doesn't like to pair her with Akai Shuichi which he is based on his favorite hero. So, a 'fake lover' setting was formed.
Source: 13-15


Even though she is Shiho's older sister, I personally don't really praise her much. Its three chapters in the manga when Miyano Akemi was alive, but as Shiho's older sister and (fake) Moroboshi Dai (Akai Shuichi) ex-girlfriend, her death still brings a big turning point for the plot, I personally feel that if the robbery act was done carefully- heart, there are many things that need to be explored.
1. Judging from these few words alone, Miyano Akemi was about to commit a robbery, and the reason for the assassination as an accessory was because she wanted the two sisters to run away from the organization.
2. As an extension of the first point: Although her deceased was very charitable, due to Shiho's good memory of her older sister and some plots in the memories of the FBI and Shuichi, everyone's comments about Miyano Akemi were mostly positive, but if Aoyama didn't mean to add additional reasons for her crimes (like the content on PS), I really don't understand the reason why Miyano Akemi committed the crimes, and I find it doesn’t make sense.
From multiple perspectives: She tried to get her younger sister who helps the organization’s research illegal drugs to leave the organization. This was the most normal explanation before Akai Shuichi came out. Prior to the robbery, Akemi Miyano obviously knew nothing about the organization.
Personally, I felt that neither Shiho nor Moroboshi Dai would tell her anything about the organization. The strange question is, her younger sister was safely working as a researcher in an organization to develop drugs. Her life was not in danger. What was the reason for suddenly planning to leave the organization?. It is of course possible to fill this reasoning with other explanations.
The first possibility is that her younger sister was forced to carry out human experiments by the organization and wanted to help her escape once she found out. This logic is basically nonsensical. Shiho obviously wouldn't tell her sister about this kind of thing, and her sister couldn't possibly be related to the organization. Everyone know this.
The second possibility is that Miyano Akemi found out the truth about her parents' death. The truth may be that her parents didn't die, her parents were killed by someone in the organization, or her parents committed suicide for some reason. This also makes sense. She suddenly tried to escape from the organization, but it seemed impossible to explain without telling Shiho anything about her parents. (Besides, her older sister hid the tapes in the toilet in the designer's house which her younger sister couldn't find in a normal body state, and then Aoyama said her older sister just liked to hide things before she died)
A third possibility, she was trying to avoid the organization from executing her and her younger sister as Moroboshi Dai's undercover accomplices. Of course, this is not the case in chapters 13-15. I personally think that this reason cannot be explained logically, because Shiho was an important scientist of the organization and Gin didn't say that he wanted to kill the younger sister when he killed the older sister. Can't Gin kill the traitor 2 years ago?. This is clearly impossible, unless Aoyama wants Akemi to be a black character (but according to his style, the probability is essentially zero). Akemi didn't always want to rob a bank to get rid of the black organization and clean herself up, and sees her accomplice kill the bank's security staff, watched A's accomplice killed B's accomplice, and gave B's accomplice a sleeping pill that was actually cyanide. Then the purpose of her running away was to request a reconnection with Moroboshi Dai who is an FBI agent (at least she knew he is a police officer from a certain country, right ?). Sorry, she's like the brain of love.
3. Sherry's position in the organization. Gin thought that Sherry was an important person and may have high status. However, to say that Sherry has an important position because of the main force in APTX drug research, and her limited contact with people outside the research institute is also fully explained.
4. Miyano Akemi wasn't really dead. There seems to be no doubt that Miyano Akemi confirmed her death personally, however in Conan's presence her death was confirmed. Some people may make a fake death argument, but this is totally untenable. Conan lacks the ability to persuade the police and medical staff to play out scenes to protect her as a perpetrator (unless his identity was revealed). Either the APTX drug is a revival drug and can be used to revive Akemi, but this is pure nonsense. Akemi was long dead, and her body didn't know whether to be buried or cremated.
Actually, when I review the time when Akemi robbed, I always complain about this character, because I really can't understand her. If there's no additional explanation, just for the purpose of releasing her younger sister from the organization, I really can't understand what people think of her?
Although it's a bit twisted to say this: she didn't discuss the plan with Shiho, and Shiho didn't seem to cry to her older sister how difficult her life in the organization was, and the organization forced her to study dangerous drugs that she didn't want to learn (in fact, I always felt that Sherry was in the organization wanting to learn the drugs), Shiho was not in danger of life, etc. Miyano Akemi convinced herself and ran to rob the bank saying that she wanted to save her younger sister from the organization. I felt everyone was victimized because of her behavior. I’m touched. I don't really understand this character. However, since Shiho has always had a very positive perception of her older sister, I don't glorify Miyano Akemi, but I don't hate her either, but her fans are so annoying.
Looking at file 180, I have a little insight here:

Initially, reading this chapter explains why Sherry realized that Kudo has become Conan, and describes the scene where the sisters meet for the last time. When reading it again, I found something very interesting that can be used as an analogy for some Akemi's actions that suddenly want to take out her younger sister for no apparent reason, this concerns the reversal of PS. There was a theory like this a long time ago, I just added a little material.
This is just speculation

When reading chapter 1072, Akemi was very sensitive to other people's feelings, with a simple mind, she knew Moroboshi Dai didn’t love her, and Akai Shuichi is the obvious a double standard man. Therefore, how many percent chance that she knew about Shiho's feelings for Moroboshi Dai?
From this I dared to guess that Akemi knew Shiho might like Moroboshi Dai.

Looking at the text message in Japanese, Akemi used the formal language 'ます', and didn't use the subject 'I'

Then seeing from Akai and Akemi's conversation, Akemi used informal language. Isn't this a contradiction?. Did Akemi write this message to herself or for her sister happines? Or did Akemi write that message?
So, my brain hole about PS is that Akemi as an outsider who didn’t know anything about the organization or the drugs, suddenly with a self-confident determination of success wanted to get her younger sister out for no apparent reason, and Akemi might not be that stupid either, she must have known that when she robbed the bank, she would be imprisoned. So, why did she suddenly ask for a relationship with Moroboshi Dai, who is an FBI agent ?.

The chapter title when Akemi appeared was 悪魔の女' "The Devil Woman", looking at the case of Shiratori who thought the female killer was his first love saying "Women can turn from angel to devil", it has the same feeling, doesn't it?. So, my interpretation is that women can become a devil because of love, but the "love" here is meant for Shiho not Moroboshi Dai.
James said because Akemi can't forget Moroboshi Dai, she wanted to leave the organization. I personally think this is a narrative trick. Looking at James' dialogues in the red and black chapters, his dialogues was full of the bombs.

For example, James said Akai's relationship with the younger sister was 顔見知り(Not acquaintances, he only knew her face),
The difference between 顔見知りand 知り合い
顔見知り: they are not very close, only know each other's face
知り合い : he know her face and name, and have a certain degree of acquaintance with her.
The fact is Moroboshi Dai and Shiho were very close.
Next, James said "If the older sister doesn't succeed in the mission, the two sisters die". The fact is the organization never wanted to kill the younger sister.
So, how much does the FBI know about Akai's past?
How much false information comes from the FBI?
How much truth can be trusted from the FBI?
How many narrative tricks are played on James and Jodie's dialogues?.
Do you remember when she said she would return to the Dejima's house with her younger sister?. Looking at Akemi's attitude wasn't like a woman who hasn't moved on, she was very happy to prepare for her new life with her younger sister.
So, this hole in my brain about P.S is related to Shiho and Moroboshi Dai.
So, P.S can be in line with the content of the message and can be a reversal. The logic also can be in line with Akemi's "good sister" image and this logic can be in line with motivated Akai's decision to turn into Subaru and immediately come near to Ai.
Jodie said the price of Akai's death was not comparable to Mizunashi Rena, and Bourbon also said Akai was a good hiding person, he could have hidden without wearing a mask.
Next..
Many readers think Shuichi confessed his FBI identity to Akemi because he fell in love. Personally, my guess is:
Seeing Scotch's death, Rye's promise of protection to Sherry, Elena's mirror that Akemi had but Shuichi didn't know about it, and the messages Akemi sent and he didn't respond it. That’s meant, Shuichi didn't pay much attention to Akemi, and has no emotional basis for her. So, it wasn't because he loved Akemi that he revealed his identity.
Remember, Shuichi was undercover in the organization for 5 years, he got the code name in 2 years. So, his contact with Shiho should be more often than spending his time dating Akemi. Akemi was just an outsider, how can she get Shuichi into the organization?, and the sisters rarely met. Maybe because of this, Akemi realized he was not like a real lover.
The most likely reasons are: Moroboshi Dai said the promise of protection for Shiho, based on Shuichi's morality as a red party, he must feel guilty, it's like 'I have used this person for three whole years', and he also wanted to protect Shiho, Akemi is her older sister. So, Moroboshi Dai had to explain to Akemi that he was just using her.
Moroboshi Dai broke up with Akemi, and the reason was an FBI undercover, which meant he was only pretending to be a couple because he was undercover. So, when it ended, Akemi had a hunch that Moroboshi Dai would go and separate from her, so Akemi burst into tears.
Seeing his attitude as Subaru, could tell Shuichi was a straight ball man, and the reason why Shuichi wanted to end it wasn't because he wanted to catch Gin. Seeing his dialogue he doesn't want to catch the members of the organization, Shuichi is smart, he must know that if he manages to catch Gin, Gin won't open his mouth. So, my guess is Moroboshi Dai did it to mislead the FBI, mainly because he wanted to protect Shiho. Moroboshi Dai dared to risk revealing his identity, not because he knew Akemi well, but because he trusted Shiho. So, Moroboshi Dai thought Akemi was not a threat.
The possibility that Moroboshi Dai never told information about Shiho to the FBI could be that he wanted to take Shiho out, so that Shiho would not be caught by the FBI. He wanted to hide Shiho from everyone.
In chapter 1072, many people speculated that Rum came to Teitan Elementary because Akemi revealed Shuichi's identity intentionally or unintentionally, it's possible that Aoyama is going to make a reversal of their separation 2 years ago, but I personally think the reason Shuichi's identity was revealed was due to Scotch’s death. After Scotch's death, it's possible that the organization was checked a lot of rats, and Rum was related 17 years ago case. How did she report Akai to the top members of the organization?. Her only contact was Shiho.
I personally prefer Akemi to have the setting of not knowing anything about the organization (not related to any important plot, she is only pulled when Aoyama wants to open a new plot like that drug introduction), her role is only as Haibara's older sister, just for Haibara, a naive woman.
So, the 1 billion Yen robbery was her first crime, then when she made a deal with Gin, she was sure she could fool Gin, but in fact she was the one who was fooled and didn't think she would be shot (That means she didn't know anything about Gin and how the organization works).
Therefore Akemi's mentality was not death, and PS is not a secret about the organization. If PS is the secret of the organization Akemi's mentality should have been prepared for her death by then. This has been explained before. I will explain it again.
A bit of denial from the perspective of many readers who think Akemi's mentality knew she is going to die. So, she wanted Akai to take care of her sister.

Camel : ️ ️だから赤井さんに電話で今回の作戦に適任な人材はいないかと聞かれた時、自ら運転手役に志願して日本やって来たんです、死ぬかもしれないと言われてましたが、結果的には赤井さんの彼女を死なせてしまったのは私のミスが原因ですから
赤井さんには彼女も覚悟していたことだから気にするなといわれていたんですがね
Camel : So, when Mr. Akai called me and asked if there was anyone suitable for this operation, I offered to be the driver and came to Japan. I was told that I might die , but in the end it was my fault that caused Akai's girlfriend to die.
Mr. Akai told me not to worry about that because she knew it (his identity).
彼女も覚悟していた: she also knew.

覚悟 is a polysemy, one of the meanings : to be aware (気がつく), to know (存知).
The translations in English is : "she had already made up her mind about Akai".
Based on the context of the previous sentence, its mean She already knew it about (his identity)
覚悟していた > "She prepared for danger...." it is correct, but "Danger" here refers to Akai's FBI identity.
So it didn't mean that Akai said Akemi was prepared for her death, but Akai told Camel that there was no need to feel guilty.
Camel thought, because of his negligence Akai's FBI identity was exposed which caused Akemi's death. Before Camel's identity was revealed Akai had already told Akemi his identity and Akemi realized it.
So, Akemi's mentality before the robbery mission was that she was very confident with full intention of success. She will success in leaving the organization and bringing her sister. So, there was no need to entrust her sister to someone else.
If Akemi had a death mentality back then, she should have told Shiho she hid the tapes at her father's old house, but Haibara had absolutely no idea about the hidden tapes. So, it means that when Akemi success from the robbery mission, she thought she could take Shiho to her father's old house and give the tapes. After all, didn't Akemi think that after her death, her sister will suicide?
Then, there are also some opinions saying PS regarding the Miyano couple's fire case, if the premise is like this, shouldn't Akemi told this to Shiho instead of Moroboshi Dai?, because it was related their parents, and Akemi's mentality must also be a death mentality. This would be a logical bug .
Let's look at the side ball analogy: Sato, Takagi & Yumi.

Then, what situations did Sato say this...

"Don't make fun of him, hurry up and find a good man"
A very similar dialog is as follows:


Brain hole:
In short, don't you think that the phrase "I’m fine" and keeps repeating it in Ai's memory, is rather meaningful ?. Then Akemi said "The only thing to worry about is you, Shiho". Could it be that Akemi saw Shiho's emotion change after Moroboshi Dai left ?. If my guess is correct then Ai's heart knot will be easier to open.
The Point is : Akemi is a normal girl without any plans or experience. She rarely met Shuichi at the level outside the organization, and had no chance to get to know Shuichi in depth (Akemi and Shiho rarely met). In this case, Akemi can clearly detect, the man didn't love her, he was just took advantage of their relationship, it can only show that Shuichi didn't make any effort to maintain their "relationship" from beginning till the end.
Akai Shuichi
Actually, whether Akai Shuuichi is Moroboshi Dai or Okiya Subaru, in their relationship with Miyano Shiho, they are just identities that can only exist at a certain stage. The name Akai Shuichi can represent the continuous entanglement of the characters' relationships from the past, to the organization, to the present, and even the future, thus becoming the highlight of Shiho CP's analysis.
Assuming that many people I've read before that the two did have a meeting in the United States, then based on the existing plot, I can make the following analysis.
In all Shiho CPs where Akai Shuichi's name is mentioned, it is inevitable to involve the so-called United States border. Currently, there is no sign of this in the plot, but I feel that most people, including me personally are likely to have this part among them, because I don't think Akai Shuichi knew the effects of the drug during the early days when he came to Japan, he only learned about the effects of Aptx when eavesdropping on Conan-Ai's conversation, he only knew Sharon was the ever-young Chris thanks to the disguise technique.
If the premise says Akai learned about Aptx from the Haneda Koji case, wasn't the effect of Aptx at that time killing not shrinking the body, the first case of Aptx was Kudo Shinichi and at that time Akai had betrayed and only Sherry knew Conan = Kudo. So when Akai caught a glimpse of Haibara on the street, he immediately recognized her and confirmed it in the full moon chapter when Vermouth called Haibara "Sherry", but if my guess isn't right, I'll get slapped.
The life trajectories of the two people seem to overlap on the timeline, and the overlapping period is the period of time when Shiho studied in the United States before returning to Japan, and Shuichi first arrived in the United States to join the FBI. Therefore, in terms of time, this conjecture is possible, since all assume Shiho's age when she returned to Japan was 13. Plus the clue from Elena's tape asking 11-year-old Shiho if she had a first love, and the clue was drawn in a large frame.
The first point is that Shuichi must have gotten to know Shiho unilaterally in the United States.
Shiho was sent to the United States before she could remember, but when the Akai family and the Kudo family met on the beach, Shuichi had not yet joined the FBI. At that time, Sera was about 6-7 years old, and Shiho was older than Sera. So when Shuichi met Shiho, Shiho had to be older than Sera's age, and she had to be able to remember things. In addition, Shiho's IQ is higher than normal people, and her mind is precocious.
If she knew Shuichi when she was in the United States, then when she met Moroboshi Dai for the first time, even if she didn't know his name, she should be able to recognize him immediately. However, based on the plot analysis, Haibara Ai remembers Moroboshi Dai several times, but does not connect with Akai Shuichi's character or American past, so if this conjecture is correct, then Shiho does not know the name Akai Shuichi.
Second point, I have two guesses about Shuichi Akai's acquaintance with Shiho.
The first guess is that when he joined the FBI, he started investigating the disappearance of Akai Tsutomu, and then quickly passed the Haneda Koji case, and followed the path to the Miyano couple and the black organization.
Regardless of whether he knew the relationship between the Miyano family and the Akai family at the time, as long as there were clues leading to the Miyano couple, it should not be difficult for the FBI to know the current situation of the Miyano couple. Shiho was just a little girl at the time, and had not officially joined the organization as a scientist. For the organization, there was no need to block the news, and the Miyano couple was dead at the time. Start with a living person. (In the episode when Subaru first appeared, he mentioned the case of checking the parents of the children)
So, after this conjecture, Shuichi should have investigated little Shiho when she was in the United States, since it was an investigation, of course he couldn't contact her directly. If the conjecture is true, then why his undercover target chose Akemi which can be interpreted as the fact that Shuichi's purpose of pursuing Shiho from beginning to end, but because of Shiho's age and her relationship with the organization. For reasons like closeness, he should start with Akemi.
But in fact, I personally prefer the second type of conjecture, which is that when Shuichi met Shiho in the United States, he didn't know her relationship with the Miyano couple and the Black Organization had any intersection at first, but for some reason, the genius little Shiho accidentally attracted Shuichi's attention, and since then has added a strong color to his memory just like the case of little Kudo meeting Shuichi on the beach. In the Ripple Chapter Shuichi has great respect for children.

As for my own thoughts though
The writing is often okay ig, could always be better. Some things I'll find to my liking, some I will not, but
I often wonder if people who are into what I'm not, do they like how those kinks or themes being handled?
Because some parts of those stories make me so confused that I just don't know how to react to that. Like, do they want me to be aroused by this, am I supposed to laugh, feel disgusted or ...?
Beel's fishy stank when he ejaculated from the Valentine's Day story will forever be imprinted into my brain. To this day, I can't find the reason to include this detail in
At times, it feels as if they write freaky stuff just for the sake of it yk?
Translation also plays a big role in getting message across, I think those stories would have been more polished if they actually cared about hiring someone to translate them properly
And since there were speculations about PB using AI for their art, I also can't help but to think how much of it could have been written by AI. Because personally I'm not in favor of using it in art related projects, especially if its content is going to be paywalled
I've seen different opinions over time on this topic, and also with Satan recent story release, I wanted to see how people were feeling this whole time
