#Ships like KaiShin and CoAi are ships people claim have chemistry

[dcmkanswers]

Ah, sorry, I should've worded it better as "is there any way Hattori doesn't have better chemistry". I know Gosho is never going to make him an actual love interest, but narrative-wise he's almost the only one who Shinichi actually seems to want to spend the rest of his life with

To say he's the only one is disregarding the explicit want from him to be with Ran. But I do get what you're saying, that Heiji and Shinichi have some of the best chemistry that works juat as well in a romantic sense as it does the 'bros for life' Gosho is writing. In terms of pure writing, I think the relationships Shinichi has with Ran and Heiji are both written similarly. Especially when his 'something bad's happened' sense goes off for both.

Heiji has pretty much exactly as much chemistry with Shinichi as people read. Not something one needs to 'read into' to notice, nor is it subtle, so. Gosho not having any intention of making DC gay kinda helps with him being okay to show the two caring about each other as much as he does. Intimacy is easier to show when the person writing is doing so with a situation they're comfortable with, so even if it's just as friends, it's easy for people who want it to be more to enjoy it as well.

It's one of those things that makes me wonder why I see the phantom thief/detective gay ship represented more often than the loud, energetic detective/friendly, flair for the dramatic detective. If you're opting to not go with the baked in ship of ShinRan, HeiShin is a 'look to your left and boom, another ready-made ship that needs very little change aside from 'make 'em gay/queer''.

#Anon #Question! Answer! #Even if this is a less an answer to a question and more extra response to previous but eh #Ships like KaiShin and CoAi are ships people claim have chemistry #And while they do; it's not an intimate sort of chemistry #Kaito and Shinichi don't even have friendly chemistry; it's just a rivalry without too many antagonistic feelings involved #Conan and Haibara at least sync up and work well together when they need to #Even if I feel that the problem with them is that they don't click together in their normal lives to be written as romantic chem #They're more the friends that insult each other; but not take it too far; and they have each other's backs if something bad happens #You would need to re-write how they interact slightly; at the very least change how Shinichi views (Kaito or Ai) before ships can happen #Makes HeiShin unique among the fanon couples with just how little needs to be changed for the pairing to work
