'Kokichi grew interested in Saihara for one purpose: He was Kokichi's chance for someone to see through him. Not only is Saihara a detective, but he has similar ideals and parallels to Kokichi, thus, Saihara could see through his lies and see the true self underneath. He constantly tries to help out Saihara by directing him towards the truth like Kaede wanted and as shows here, tries to play mindgames with him so Saihara will pay attention to him. In the process, Kokichi failed his goal to avoid getting attached to other people, and got attached to Saihara. Saihara does realize this but uses the wrong strategy. Instead of trying to see through Kokichi, he tries to help him and bring his true self into light. Due to Kokichi's trust issues, he continuously denies this and pulls away from Saihara leaving Saihara unsure how to figure Kokichi out. This is why Oumasai is really misunderstood. It's a cute and tragic relationship and not some edgy yandere rivalry that the fandom makes it out to be. '

Also this is not from me at all it was from a youtube comment and I strongly agree with the person who wrote this comment!
