Something I've noticed is that Conan has some similarities to comic book superheroes. Like certain superheroes, one day he had his appearance changed forever via an unfortunate incident. While his focus is often catching the bad guys, he also is doing everything he can to find a way to permenantly reverse this so he can be himself again. And he has to keep a secret identity so that his loved ones aren't hurt. Of course, I'm certain there are other types of series that do something similar but that's not the point.
Anyway, I can't remember any specific examples but I'm certain a superhero's identity being revealed to the whole world has happened before (although the closest example I can think of is Power Rangers in Space, and even that was kinda different). But as an example, the villian finds some way to broadcast the unmasking of the super hero on every tv in the world.
It would be extremely interesting to see that happen to Conan. Likely by actually showing him becoming Shinichi (or Shinichi turning back into Conan). It raises a lot of interesting possibilities. I mean, even ignoring the fact you could make a one hour special showing all the clues various characters have been given about his identity, there's the reaction of scientists and governments around the world. And if the Organization is still around after this...I can't even begin to imagine what they would do.
