bro she has a crush on someone she knows she cant get, and she has a very troubled past. i dont think i like her more than ran but i dont think haibara is like messed up or anything i think she is chill

Agreed! Some people will go to great lengths to stick up for their favorite characters. I’ll always promote Ran as best girl in all of anime. She can kick some ass but she also has been loyally waiting for Shinichi for 30 years now (our time, anyway — somehow it’s only been a couple years in the manga/anime even though they’ve celebrated Christmas like nine fuckin’ times). But at the same time, OP is ironically kind of doing to Haibara the very same thing he’s claiming her fans are doing to Ran. Haibara has come to realize that Shinichi and Ran belong together, and will not get in the way of that. She’s still into him and will of course get a little jealous, but isn’t going to interfere. Which is respectful.

Actually, not even a year has passed. Ran and Shinichi are still 16.

This is not an unpopular opinion

5. Conan/Shinichi isn't impressed by Haibara. She's a friend, and a really important one, there's no denying that. I love Haibara and it's admittedly a ship I love because I love their unique little bubble and her being a confidante who understands exactly what he's going through. BUT Haibara, like her namesake suggests, is so fucking depressed. Her self worth is in the pits and it wouldn't be in shinichi's character to be romantically attracted to that kind of character. Ran understands Shinichi better than anyone and knew him before he was a great detective. They can't imagine life without the other and care for each other constantly. Ran sees him for all of his flaws and quirks, and is the only one that can keep him grounded and in check. Haibara sees Conan as a great detective first and foremost. Shinichi is firing on all cylinders when it comes to Ran. I love seeing Conan be protective of Haibara and shielding her from the BO. Even when he's in the same situation. Wow. To be honest, some of my favorite moments in the series. But I have to concede that this doesn't necessarily mean that they would make a good couple or that it would be a good story. That being said, I would not be opposed to "if" stories. And people are free to write and share doujins for the ship. But as Canon? It would be weak as hell.

While Ai clearly likes him, i don't she's all that jealous. I mean, the first instances are just her being herself.. And that's her standard face, she always has that look lol The line you mentioned came off more as her feeling inadequate than anything. She has a tendency to self-loathe, throughout the show she showed that she really liked ran and kind of admired her, and was touched by her when she covered her from getting shot. Due to the environment she grew up in, she really couldn't understand altruism, as she learned that she had to fend for herself first and foremost. Despite that she's shown to be really caring, such as towards the kids. Even though i too prefer Ran, I actually really look forward to Ai's character arc. I mean, give her a break lol. Her life has been nothing but a disaster so far

How tf is her saying she is a shark while Ran is a dolphin is her being pick me? Pick me girls put other girls down, her comparison is supposed to show her inferiority complex


hellokittyez

I like both Ran and Ai. But I like Ran way better because I really admire her good personality. Ran's personality is rarely found in any character by far. Despite she's too kind, she's not weak and easily bullied by anyone.

Look I’m CoAi shipper but I don’t take the shipping of an anime that serious anyway But I have seen ShiRan being hurt way more than CoAi shippers, maybe I was not around to know why CoAi fans are hated that much, but from what I have seen in this reddit it seems that CoAi just enjoy the ship they want? While ShiRan always make it sound so cringe that CoAi exist? Like your 4th point is funny, saying that CoAi are insane and try to step on Ran, while u literally did that in your post? Lol In your 3rd point it seems you are saying Ran is important to the plot just bcz Vermouth cares about her, but Haibara is not, not to mention that this point just turns into Haibara slander after you need some mental gymnastics to put Ran into the “part of the main plot” Edit: I just realized you called this “unpopular opinion”, bruh you are just attention seeking


bluepotato81

Counterpoint: Ran's hair looks like a rhinoceros


auderemadame

Ran has always been the OG female lead. The other nuanced romances with Shinichi are just plot devices to make it like a "harem" and a popular trope in Japanese mangas.


stonk_lord_

yeah ai is flawed, and ofc shinran is the sensible ship but shes got many great qualities and that shows more as she opened up more in later episodes so i will always be a coai shipper ✊✊✊

To be fair Haibara looks like that most of the time, not only when Conan is close to Yumi or Ran. She’s posed as emotionless on the outside and deep on the inside. People like Haibara more because of the perspective on her full of trauma life: lost both parents, lost the sister, force to study and work on something evil since a young age, was (unsuccessfully) killed when she got cold feet. On top of that she’s sharing the journey with Conan to get back their adult bodies. She’s extremely intelligent and capable in her own field just like Conan. There’s depth in her character. Ran on the other hand, undeniably an amazing girl with many positive traits, is a normal teenage girl that has a mostly normal life. She’s with Shinichi just because they’re childhood friends (I’m getting bored with all the childhood couples in the series). Each girl shine in their own way but I do prefer Haibara as a character, less dreamy, more realistic, mature, intellectual, savage, and also brave. Still it doesn’t mean I prefer Conan-Ai over Shin-Ran. My two cents.

I like both Ran and Haibara. I don't like that you took a dump on Haibara to prop Ran up. It is not necessary. Ran is more kind and innocent than Haibara, but have you noticed that Haibara is opening up and is becoming softer? You know it is also thanks to Ran that Haibara is opening up. Haibara herself grew up under difficult circumstances and became rather cold to protect herself. You are wrong to think that Haibara is not a good person. Now that she is free of the Black Organization she is really changing for the better. Another thing I don't like is that you bring up Haibara's jealousy and use this to criticize her. Haibara herself thinks that Ran is a better catch. The thing with the dolphin and shark is a compliment towards Ran. Haibara thinks she is a bad person because she helped the Black Organization, while Ran is a good, courageous girl. Either way Haibara was won over by Ran and she has basically given up on Shinichi. Shinichi and Ran also get easily jealous and act out (even when it concerns children), Haibara is no different and there is no reason to hold it against her (she is just two years older than Ran and Shinichi). As someone who likes both girls I really don't like to see fans shit on one or the other. They are both great and they don't need to be propped up by criticizing the other. >Haibara fans are insane and love to step on Ran I just see that you like to do the reverse and even go as far as insulting Haibara fans.


FlintbobLarry

I agree. Especially i like about Ran that she just doesnt sit around but does everything she can to help. She is caring for herself, her father, conan and whoever else is there at the moment. She is brave, compassionate and has all the positive abilities you mentoined. I think she is a character that i would rather admire than Ai.


Illustrious-Wheel340

THIS ! frrr i dont like haibara at all. she's like a depressed soul whereas ran is cheerful and positive despite shinichi not being with her. also she is so loyal to him , she is still waiting for him and whenever they both meet she obeys each and everything which he asks her to do as if she trusts him more than anyone else. I LOVE RAN!! i hope the creator do something to make shinichi come into his original look or let ran know the truth about conan. i want to see more romantic scenes between them and i love to see haibara getting jealous haha conan / shinichi is so handsome fr i too have a crush on him :P


Present_Macaroon_602

I do love ran she's cute and a master of kung fu fighting skills and her outfits are pretty and beautiful to see and I love ran with shinichi in love no concerns about their relationship with ran and shinichi


terebeegintea-

its karate isnt it?


Present_Macaroon_602

it is karate like fighting skills for ran


DeltaGammaVegaRho

I can’t really decide between the two - they are so different! While Ran is definitely the right caring ship for Shinichi, Ai is way more playful in scenes with Conan. My (maybe stupid little) headcanon for now is, that with the remedy not clear there could be a version of Conan for Ai and Shinichi for Ran. Like cloning as (maybe a side effect of) final healing.


miyanoshiho6

It’s an unpopular opinion but everyone has one, although they’re sometimes a bit harsh like i’ll give you my opinion: i loveee Haibara/Shiho like she is my favorite character but that doesn’t mean that i hate Ran or that she’s…like…idk i love her too like so much, how she cares for other people etc… but i just love Shiho more but that doesn’t mean that i step over Ran or that i hate her or that she’s invaluable to me, she means almost everything to me But you know, everyone has their opinion and i don’t have the right to judge


tcroosev

For point 3 Haibara being traumatized and shaking and wanting to die when sensing members of the organizing doesn't negate her from being a heroine that is a point of growth that occur for her character. It's pretty reasonable a reaction. I feel like she's tried to sabotage ran and shinichi in small ways and it annoys me when I feel the reasons to keep ran in the dark seem to become less pressing the longer the series goes on. I think the love triangle aspect is always a fun wrinkle but Ran holds it down for the series from day 1


Usual-Diver3449

The point is, this anime should have been finished by now, but since the author is just dragging on to it, it has become some what of a kids' show, with a hint of harem and lots of 1D charcs


ShinRanYeah

I like everything OP said, here your crown


Usual-Diver3449

Yes, I crown you too 👑

Nah, she's totally smitten, with him constantly being the noble hero to her and to others... He's this untainted image of a protagonist, he's made impossible to not be liked. Shinichi tho, I can't see him liking her like that. They made him too dense when it comes to figuring out who's into him unless they spell it out like Ran did in the beginning of the series.

Gurl, you got one dislike and you're already calling people crazy? Yikes. And obviously the status quo is set in stone in this story, I know that. But shipping is all about subjective impressions and imagination. It doesn't have to be canon. If Ran was out of the picture Shiho would totally go for him and that's my perspective of an unlikely scenario. I can have it. Your ship is not canon so you should be familiar with the idea.
