With respect to Ran, it has been hinted (in OVA 9) that she has a lot of patience in waiting for the real Shinichi to return. Although she may initially feel shocked by the truth, if her love for Shinichi is still adequate, she will understand his predicament.
With respect to Kogoro, my hope is that he withdraws from public life for a time and enters rehab, so that he can kick his drinking and/or smoking habit and thus make Eri more willing to reconcile with him.
With respect to the other DBs, it has been hinted by someone on another forum that at least one of the DBs is very mature and would thus be able to understand Conan & Ai's predicaments.

Also, I don't know if Ayumi is aware of this, but I think that if she were to openly declare her love for Conan to him, she risks alienating herself from him (the same would probably happen to Ai if she were to do as such).

Otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu to my favorite celebrity, Noriko Sakai!

Of course, this still begs the question: is Bourbon's loyalty to the BO closer to that of Vermouth or that of Pisco? In other words, if he were to discover the true identities of Ai and/or Conan (and I think he certainly has the potential to do so), would he do as Vermouth did (i.e. preserve the status quo) or as Pisco attempted to do (i.e. report his discovery to the BO)?

I'm guessing that she figured it out after she saw Conan at the mourning party. She had been America before which means she isn't close to what is happening in Japan, and the rest of the Black Org thinks APTX 4869 at the current development stage is a death drug.
In other words, you're saying that Vermouth was most likely unaware of the events Ai described to Conan & Dr. Agasa during episode 129?
-
Regarding Vermouth's discovery that Conan = Shinichi: Did Vermouth suspect that Shinichi survived APTX-4869 long before the Pisco arc, or was it during that event (or its aftermath) that she started suspecting as such?
-
Here's something I've been thinking about:
One of the last things Pisco said (right before Gin killed him) was: "I have a general idea of [sherry's] whereabouts." However, he did not have the opportunity to elaborate on that statement. What if Pisco had been allowed to continue that conversation along those lines? Given that Pisco saw Conan and stated that Conan was the one directing the police presence at the hotel, does this mean that Pisco had the potential to figure out Conan's true identity, if he hadn't already done so without explicitly expressing it?
-
I think Kaito might be after BO... But not so concentrated on 'em... I can't really tell because of the fact i'm not very far into the series.
Although I'm not sure if the organization Kaito Kid is after is the same organization Shinichi/Conan is after, but...
Kaito Kid has already made substantive contact with the BO, although he is most likely unaware of their background. Furthermore, at least one major member of the BO knows who Kaito Kid is, so I do expect further engagements between KK and the BO at some point down the road.
-
During the Desperate Revival arc, Shinichi was in his original form while "Conan" was Ai In disguise. Although not canon, there was at least one occasion in the movies where Conan was in his small form while "Shinichi" was Kaito Kid in disguise.
-
I believe Bourbon, Okiya Subaru, and Akai Shuuichi are one.
It feels like Akai joined the BO.
NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!
If you think this is true, then how do you explain Tooru Amuro (who self-disclosed as Bourbon) and Subaru Okiya appearing together at the same place & same time on multiple occasions? Or Subaru and Scar Akai appearing together?
-
Sorry to disappoint you, but I believe the producers are deliberately reserving the antidote for cases where there is absolutely no alternative (e.g. the London arc, the Log Cabin arc). From the story's POV, repeatedly taking the antidote will reduce its effectiveness - do it long enough and its effectiveness will be reduced to absolutely zero. Furthermore, whenever Conan reverts to Shinichi for any amount of time, he risks being "found out" by the BO during that time.
However, I would consider introducing a story line where Conan starts his expanding motion in front of the other Detective Boys and see if he can succeed in running away from them before he completes expanding.
-
I wonder if Heiji was ever briefed about the latest developments regarding the BO (e.g. the unmasking of Bourbon)...
-
There are several major problems with this pairing.
First, I still don't think Ai fully trusts Subaru. Her decision to run away from Subaru on the Bell Train, coupled with her remarks about him in the aftermath, indicate that she still has a reasonable degree of suspicion as to what kind of person he is.
Second, assuming that Subaru is indeed Akai, I think it would not make emotional sense for someone to pursue a love relationship with the younger sister of your actual girlfriend whom you failed to protect from death...
-
I've been wondering something about Amuro/Bourbon: is his loyalty to the BO closer to that of Vermouth or that of Pisco? In other words, in the event he finds out that some of the BO's important targets survived APTX-4869, would he keep this info to himself (like Vermouth did) or would he spread it to other BO members (like Pisco attempted to do)?
-
Yep, Amuro has officially discovered/confirmed that Conan is "Sleeping Kogoro", and is also officially interested in Conan now (if he wasn't before). Despite being told about it, there is nothing Vermouth can do to protect him, since Amuro will probably show up together with Kogoro every murder case from now on, and she cannot directly appear at the scene either. However, I don't think that Amuro has known that Conan is Shinichi yet, he may not even know who Shinichi is, but it's only a matter of time due to Conan's recklessness.
For some translation of the Chinese file (credit go to Conan#1 and DCTP staffs):
Page 4:
Amuro: "What are you doing Conan-kun?"
Conan: "Ah, my watch cover is broken..." (thinking) It's really unable to make Sleeping Kogoru appeared in front of him after all, since he is Black Organization member Bourbon. If I am Kudou Shinichi who took a drug and shrunken to a child is getting exposed, even Vermouth may still remain silent, but the incident of Haibara also shrunken to a child may end up exposed too."
Temporary scan of the last page:
Also as everyone has seen, next case is a case with KID.
OK then, if this is the first step toward Bourbon uncovering the truth about Conan (and possibly Ai), then what would he do with this info? If Vermouth's promise involved not harming Conan and his associates, would Bourbon repudiate that promise upon uncovering Conan's true identity?
-
Whew! I knew that Conan wasn't going to let anyone other than his confidants see how he manipulates Kogoro, but to have him caught short in front of Amuro...makes me wonder what Amuro is thinking now...
Does this mean that Amuro has figured out some or all of the truth behind the "Sleeping Kogoro," and that he would turn his attention toward Conan? Also, as I asked in another thread, what would he do upon finding out who Conan really is?
-
Given that Amuro has ostensibly done little or nothing to harm Conan, Ran, Kogoro, and most of their associates, and assuming that Amuro/Bourbon's promise with Vermouth does indeed involve not harming Conan and company, I strongly suspect two things:
-Bourbon may have a "soft spot" within him just like Vermouth. If he had the personality of Gin and/or Pisco, I can only imagine what he would have done by now - uncover secret identities, kill people targeted by the BO, you name it, the possibilities are virtually endless.
-If Bourbon has not been told of it already by Vermouth, then he has the potential to find out who Conan (and possibly also Ai) really is. If I were Bourbon, I would first question Vermouth on why I am being told not to harm specific people, and if I'm not satisfied with Vermouth's responses, then I would go out and investigate them myself.
However, in the event Bourbon does find out the true identities of Conan and/or Ai, I wonder what he would do with this info - would he simply keep it to himself and do nothing, will he take action against Conan and co. himself, or will he tell others in the organization and spur them into action?
-
Wait a minute...isn't Izu part of Shizuoka prefecture, thereby falling under Sango's jurisdiction instead of Jugo's?
---
On a side note, I believe Ai's reaction at the beginning of this chapter is proof that she would still prefer to submit herself to the BO if confronted by them, rather than try to evade them further. I can only imagine how she will react the next time she encounters BO members - if Conan once again devises a plan to save her, could she actually do something retaliatory against him?

1. How did Conan learn about Amuro's true identity? Did he or his allies eavesdrop on Amuro and/or Vermouth, or did he ask Kaito Kid to share with him what he (while disguised as Sherry) heard?
2. Is Ai still oblivious to Okiya's true identity, or does she also not trust Akai entirely?
3. What could Amuro's next move be? Could it be to figure out who Conan really is?

Is it true that the producers no longer want to document the details of Shinichi and/or Shiho re-shrinking into their child forms? If I recall correctly, the details of Shiho's first re-shrinkage into Ai (during the Pisco incident) were well-documented, as were the details of Shinichi's first four re-shrinkages into Conan (during Heiji's first appearance, the Desperate Revival arc, and twice during the Shiragami arc). However, during subsequent events (i.e. the London arc and the Cabin Trap case), I can't find the detailed processes of how they re-shrank. Is this becoming a trend?

My guess is that Vermouth will preserve the status quo only if Sherry is in the company of one or more of her allies (which explains why she did not take action upon realizing that Ai was sleeping on Dr. Agasa's back). Otherwise, if Sherry were alone with Vermouth with no one else around, all bets are off.
Who should Ai end up with at the end of DC

If Ai cannot be paired up with any existing character, then I guess her best hope would be for the producers to create a new character out of the blue as her love interest (as they did with the love interests of Chiba & Agasa).
