No one gets a second chance at life the way she has, and taking into account that she probably had no childhood whatsoever in her previous life, and was condemned not to have a normal adulthood at all as Shiho Miyano, I think she’s very lucky and she knows that, and she’ll take the second chance life has given her. If she were to regain this identity that I’m sure she almost detests by now, she’d have nothing to go back to and it would only be a constant and painful reminder of everything she’s lost.īut as Ai Haibara? She’s got the chance to relive her life, to start over away from the Organization and everything that ruined her first life. As Shiho Miyano, she has no friends, no family, no relationships whatsoever. The thing is, right now, her life as Haibara is all she has. But I really don’t think so because her character development hasn’t been written that way. Aoyama could pull what to me would be the plot twist of a century and have Haibara regain her original body back. I think she will go take the pill, go to college, be happy and still live with Agasa because she's technically older than people her age, so if she started dating a 16 years old classmate, even though her body is 16 as well, her brain is 27. I don't know I feel like that wouldn't work.
I read that you think haibara won't take the pill. The subtext gets sadder when you realize that Akemi was expecting for Shiho to take over their father’s dream research (Silver Bullet) to carry her parents’ hopes for justice, but Shiho instead ended up taking over the organization’s foolish research (which gave birth to APTX 2.0), which she tearfully realized was a regretful decision during Mystery Train (File 821).Īs a whole, I would say I was pretty satisfied with this case, but I hope we gear up more in later chapters in terms of Conan’s Rum investigation, since Gosho is being quite apprehensive about giving Conan any Wakita clues (as seen in File 1072). This is further implying that they had an honorable goal in mind for their drug (as expected) that would do more justice in the world, but it is also likely meant to indicate that Elena left Akemi with that kind of message to explain why they had to leave their kids behind. Akemi mentioned that Elena told her that “the Silver Bullet is the bullet of justice”, which is a direct reference to Atsushi’s drug research. It was a very heartfelt letter, but it also seeded in new indications on Akemi’s awareness and the Miyano parents’ research. The highlight of this whole case was definitely Akemi’s message to Shiho (File 1072). In fact, it was more enforced when she demonstrated sensitive BO-specific knowledge about Miyano Shiho’s background (File 1070), which a high-ranked member like Vermouth is knowledgeable about.Īs for her “impossible…” remark, which frames her as a suspicious BO member just finding out about Haibara’s identity (which is clearly Gosho’s goal), I think her intent behind that remark is actually more ambiguous due to her vague eerie smirk that accompanied it, and it matches just as easily with a sarcastic intent, where she is simply playfully agreeing with Murata and the rest that it’s impossible (knowing that it’s very much the truth), which would fit with Vermouth’s coyful personality. At best, we were given an insight on his memorization skills, where he remembered where and when Akemi graduated after 13 years.Īs for Wakasa, nothing has changed regarding my theories on her being Vermouth in disguise. Wakasa’s glance at his back was hardly any giveaway to her knowledge either.
It didn’t feel like it added anything more than what we already were aware of (that he is a BO member that could trigger Haibara’s sense). Wakita’s involvement was more limited than I expected however, which was a bit disappointing.
