Does Heiji actually like Kazuha?

[sstimson]

And yet if I may say so again with the idea of actions are more important then words. Both in a way of action confessed their love. Kazuha when she stabbed his hand with her arrow because she feared that if he hung on to both of them, they would both be in trouble. And I would not call that act selfish but an act of Sacrifice. Heiji in this case uses both words and actions as even after this, HE STILL HANGS ON. IMO those two actions yell of their love for each other.

Heiji is incredibly intelligent. The fact that he's always up with Shinichi does tend to downplay the fact that the guy has easily handled cases just as complex as Shinichi's, and has generally reached the same conclusion at a similar rate. He seems dense in personal matters, but he could be deliberately blocking out Kazuha because of standard rejection fears or some other issue.

Exactly my thoughts^

Movies aren't canon, so whatever a character does or discovers in them has no baring on Gosho Aoyama's actual comic. That is, after the events of each movie, the anime and manga simply stick to their status quo: the movies don't have any effect them. This is why you thought it was strange Heiji was acting differently despite what happens in movie 7.

the scene in movie 7 where we see Kazuha and Heiji as children was made by Aoyama so can be counted as canon

well, the scene was, not the entire movie. Perhaps the scene was canon but him finding out was not?

No, it does not. This is just Heijis (and Shinichis) trait of trying to save everyone, despite the danger and risk of injury for themselves. If Heiji had been holding Ran from falling and she stabbed him - he would not have let gone either. Nor if someone else had been in danger of falling, even if they just met that person for that case.

How about how he totally panics when Kazuha is "in the spider's web"
you can't tell me that he would act like that with anyone else because normaly, he would go there, check if they had still pulse and if they have, call an ambulance.

Heiji would be fearful of Shinichi's wrath if he left go. LoL

Schillok are you just playing devil's advocate or do you truly think that Heiji doesn't like Kazuha -.-

one word: yes.
