Sounds very much like a Shuichi-Sherry and Amuro-Sera ending to me. I only wonder why Shuichi likes quiet women while both Akemi and Jodie seem rather chatty.
I hiiiighly doubt Eisuke-Ran ending will ever be on the cards. BUT I CAN HOPE. Well spotted. XD Although I wouldn't call Akemi chatty... Chirpy, certainly. :D (And as SN pointed out, translation can be a bit off.)
Amuro-Sera could most certainly be interesting. Shuichi-Sherry... less so. Brrr.
Shuu-Sherry can be easily pulled off if Gosho tweaks everything a bit and shows us that he actually approached Akemi just to meet Sherry and that it was only guilt, not love, which he felt for Akemi. He never really said that he loved her, so Gosho can easily turn it into a: "Sorry I used your sister to meet you and then I fell in love with you" romance. It would be dark enough to be interesting.
On the other hand, I don't really like to see the two serious and dark people together. They really need someone to balance them out.
I have been mulling over who I want Haibara / Shiho to end up with. My ideal otp: Haibara / Success, where she comes up with an invention that is so awesome and game-changing (and benefits humanity) that her and Agasa have enough $$ to fund their own mad scientist lab startup as soon as they're done touring the world.
But I digress.
The only issue I have w/ Shuichi / Sherry is that he is her sister's ex????? Baggage. So much baggage. If she would end up with someone I'd rather it's with someone for whom she is the sun and moon and the ultimate. She deserves nothing less than the best.
Hence my reply to Dag that Gosho can still pull it off my saying that Shuu only used Akemi (which led to her death) and that what he feels for her is guilt, not love. That way it would be still a lot of baggage but would have a sort of bitter-sweet dramaesque edge to it. Otherwise it would be just two gloomy people consoling each other over the death of a loved one (which can happen in real life but isn't a satisfying ending for the story).
Their personality types are also so similar that I have trouble seeing it work sob. It's gloom x gloom. Honestly I thought Haibara needed someone who could snap her out of her depressing thoughts and from time to time draw out her sillier side. I'm not saying she has to be with an eternal optimist but a little bit of contrast would be nice.
Yep, same here. Okiya seems a lot lighter than Shuu, though, so that I wonder whether Akai is really that gloomy or whether it was just his guilt over Akemi's death. He is still such a sketchy character that a skilled writer can twist him into someone who matches Ai. I seriously doubt it in the Dc canon, though, so I hope she will stay solo. Even Higo is a better choice. XD
Sometimes I wonder if Shuu would be very different in a not!showdown situation. He already seems a lot more chilled as Okiya - sort of doting big brother vibe that'd probably let Shiho rant/get things off her chest easily... He's cautious enough that she won't get annoyed at him for recklessness but devious enough to trick her into doing things she might not otherwise want to try. Can you tell I'm kind of dissappointed Okiya wasn't his own person? (Edit: dammit I should read all the comments before replying. :x /just parroted FS)
Also yeah I thought Okiya /can/ work if he's actually...you know...a real personality. But maybe it's a hint that real Shuu is more than Man Brooding with Cigarette.
