How Shinichi Should Tell Ran That He's Conan???

[IHKF]

There are so many ways this could go. She does have to find out sometime or else it would get boring but that could be in the very very very distant future. There are so many different ways I played this out in my head. For his case I would say although I love it when the cat gets out of the bag by accident I really would prefer it to not be a accident. More like it's some situation where if he doesn't tell her then something bad would happen. It would definitely be an emergency when he does tell her. Mostly the way I would like it to go is it's one of those where it's all touching and your crying as you watch then maybe Ran breaks the beautiful moment by remembering something like "Wait a minute! I told you everything & you saw me..." Yeah ouch!

I don't think she has to find out. I honestly would much prefer it if she never found out period (as I have already stated many times) because there would be no embarrassment or pounding or yelling or pain. What she doesn't know can't hurt her after all. Once he's back as Shinichi there would be no use in telling her unless he wants the crap beat out of him. The only suitable reason I see would call for him having to REMAIN Conan and him having to tell her for fear of loosing her to another man. I honestly think that her never finding it is more interesting then us going through the same dramatic:""You lied to me!" *cry cry cry* "I had to to protect you!" *Cautious tone* "But maybe I didn't want to be protected!" *Blah blah blah stuff about CHOOSING to be in danger*". It would just kind of annoy me. ^_^'

But years from then I could find acceptable and it may be better if it's one of those things where he accidently let it slip years from then when they possibly get married and have a kid.That way the worst she could do is make him sleep out on the couch for a couple of weeks.

Hmm, maybe Ran should just go 'silent rage' or something on Shinichi. No tears - just a very eerie calm as she digests what happened. Kogoro would do a good job with the yelling by himself already.

^ I honestly think she would cry. We see her pissed in all of the suspicion arcs but then she was pissed in the London arc as well only to start crying when she found out her suspicions were right and that he WAS in London. I think she's filled with anger and a determination to prove HERSELF wrong (she doesn't wanna believe he's Shinichi) but when she finds out she'll be pissed for a couple of seconds before breaking down like she did back then.

@IHFK: Well... I wouldn't go as far as NEVER finding out... I mean he has to tell her, when(/if) he permanently returns to being Shinichi, because...
1. She isn't that naive to overlook the fact that Shinichi is back and Conan gone...
2. She loves Conan like a little brother... it would hurt her not knowing what happened to him...

I saw you naked.

LOL! That is a pretty good way to start it! XD But that would get him killed/severely injured.

But in all those situations, she has no idea about the Black Organization, the reason Shinichi's like that. The closest she ever got was dodging bullets while saving Shiho (all the while thinking it was a kidnapping).

Wouldn't it be nice though if it was Ran that gave Shinichi the antidote after Shiho hands it to her? With that kind of climax (or something), I have this premise that somewhere along the way, Shiho finds out through her research that the APTX poison had deadlier side effects.

What about Ran involved in a kind of "final battle" with the BO in the future? He'd have to tell her the truth if that happen.

(And, in reply to the previous post, I have to say she will definitely cry. No matter how he tells her )

[TypeSera]

Ran getting directly involved... doesn't seem to be a very attractive idea. Other than being a hostage, how else is she going to be directly involved? I could imagine Kogoro joining in during the final battle, but not really Ran.

It's like Ran represents the world he wants to return to, while Shiho represents the world he's forced in to and wants to get away from.

[mangaluva]

While it's true that Ran and Ai represent opposing worlds to Shinichi, I don't agree with the idea that she has nothing to contribute other than being a hostage. She's a high-dan black belt; whether Shinichi likes it or not, odds are he's going to have to come to blows with the BO at some point; he specifically asked for his gadgets because he's no longer a physical match for criminals. Would a protective bodyguard who can put her fists through concrete be a bad idea? She was doing really well against Irish in the movie until the mask thing (YES I KNOW NOT CANON, but still.)

[D.]

I think that he should tell her in a way or another, and I hope it will be soon. I really want him to turn into his real body already and continue the series being kudo despite the danger he will be in. It's just much cooler that way.

Well I'm going on the assumption he'll separate them. He loves happy endings and that's really pretty much the only way to give everyone a happy ending. XD

But she'd still be extremely upset that he hid it from her. If the man I loved went out there and put himself in danger without telling me I'd be pissed then cry too. If he loved me he'd know that the worried feeling goes both ways and if I wanna risk my life to help him I'll darn well risk my life to help him and that it is NOT his choice. XD Not to mention he didn't just break down and tell me the truth all the times I've questioned him. He lied. It doesn't matter if it was to protect me or not (for earlier stated reasons) he still lied every time I've asked him and it hurts. That would probably be why she'd cry.

Personally, I wouldn't want Ran to find out.  Imagine how dead Shinichi would be if she did find out.  "SHINICHI!!  CONAN AND I TOOK A BATH TOGETHER AND THAT WAS YOU!?!"  Remember how Ran smashed that light pole?  Well, replace that pole with Shinichi's head. >< lol

That aside, unless both are in a situation where Shinichi shrinks right in front of her, I see no reason why she has to know.  In the long run, I feel that it'd be better on her especially since she would be upset (for the above scenario) and because Shinichi kept it from her.

[angelranchan]

^ Ran would not mind that because there's so many much good things happen to him and conan..conan save her life many times..

[believer08]

I think there will be a great and dramatic scene when he tells her or, on the contrary, she figures it out... but it will turn as a comedy scene in the moment that she realizes about the bath-thing, she'll never forgive him about that xD

Just curious how mystery crazy is Conan?

If Conan arranged Ran to be kidnapped and taken to a desert island, then him arriving on the island and trapped there as well.
If he were to see a dead fish on the beach which would happen first, Him investigating the fish's death or his finally telling Ran the truth?
