I don't understand how Shinichi's mind works in this kind of situation. Most likely, the BO will target the people around him namely Ran and Kogorou if they did find out who he is. Although its not in the manga, but take the Raven Chaser for example.. He dreamed that Gin found out about his true identity and decided to kill Ran. The dream is probably out of fear but its not far-fetched, right? If he wanted to protect Ran, he shouldn't have moved in with her in the first place. Then again, there wouldn't be a Detective Conan now, would it? It makes you wonder how Gosho-sensei will pull it off. The climax, i mean.randompi314159 wrote: Yeah, the whole Red Black arc with Conan's figure print confuses me, would it be recognized as Shinichi's fingerprint? Oh well. That aside, I believe Ran has suspicion about it, and maybe knows subconsciously, but probably won't act on it for a while. As for when Shinichi tells her about him being Conan, I wouldn't mind telling her after or before the permanent change back, as long as what follows makes sense; though I'd rather not have Shinichi not tell her about it period, like others have said, Conan has had some impact on her life so he should at least tell her in the end. And also, I get the reason why he didn't tell anyone at the start of the series about his identity, but, overtime, wouldn't it "cancel" out anyways? Given a new identity, he doesn't have any associates to begin with, but if he is around the same people either way, and the BO targets Conan for some reason without knowing of his true identity, wouldn't they target the people Conan's affiliated with?
And as for Ran's suspicions, Conan normally does some serious damage control and manages to fool her for a bit. But just look at how many times Ran suspected Conan. When something comes up that will arouse her suspicions again(be it in the next chapter or the following volumes), she'll go on a rampage trying to find the truth. The only problem is her lack of evidence to prove that Conan=Shinichi. Still, she doesn't dismiss the idea entirely.
