He also once called Shuichi “Shumai”, as a parody to Kaito's “Maki Roll” nickname for Maki. He regularly calls him “大好きな最原ちゃん” 'Daisukina Saihara-chan' translated to “ My beloved Saihara-chan” in the Japanese version, even if it can be a way to tease him as he already did with others, and occasionally calls him “mister detective” or “mister Ultimate Detective”. Although Kokichi didn’t seem to have a lot of interest in Shuichi at first, their relationship started to grow after Chapter 1, as Shuichi became the new protagonist after Kaede Akamatsu. Kokichi appears to be amused by and in some way fond of Shuichi, having stated that the other boy seems “decently not boring”, which is a very rare and notable compliment coming from him. Multiple times in the game, Shuichi thinks of “how innocent Kokichi” compared to how he acts, admitted that he can’t get mad at him because he looks like he means no harm, but then says “but that might just be another lie…” Shuichi is also the only one who thinks twice about Kokichi’s lies, saying, “he’s lying about lying…” Kokichi kept telling him that his organization is secret so it’s normal if Shuichi doesn’t know about it, while claiming that he might be lying. As Shuichi is a detective, he found it strange that he had never heard of Kokichi’s organization.

However, when Kokichi revealed his Ultimate Talent as the Ultimate Supreme Leader, Shuichi got curious and almost immediately asked about his organization. 1.2 Free Time Events/Love Across the UniverseĪt the beginning of the game, Shuichi was portrayed as a quiet and awkward person, showed by how he didn’t talk much during the introductions, and the only major emotion he expressed was when Miu insulted him as a “pervert” for wearing a hat to avoid eye contact, and when Ryoma introduced himself as an Ultimate Tennis Pro.
