End of Detective Conan...

[krystal.glass]

In the end does any1 else see Ran's dad and mom getting back together?

I've thought about it, but I see no chance of the Mouri couple actually getting together again, lol. I mean seriously, Kogoro has already asked Eri to come back once and she wasn't 'ready'. I don't see it happening unless something drastic happens to Ran or something. (Which is also quite a possibility)

Also,
I considered Ran taking the aptx, actually and that might give a rather interesting and clear-cut ending. I like the central idea. Let's see if Gosho does XD

[tetra26]

only to have Ran get killed at the end. Then Shinichi would solve her death and quit being a detective.

No.. I don't think that's too sucky at all.. One thing about the story ending.. is SOMEONE MUST DIE. I doubt it's Shinichi. If it's Heiji i'll cry and cry and won't leave my room for days. If it's Ran... eh.. in my eyes.. Shinichi's got a better/smarter romantic prospect in Shiho.

Here's a couple scenarios I jumble around in my head:

1. I think we could all agree.. while we don't know who "anokata" is yet.. we can almost bet on the fact that he has been shown to us at some point as a characther.. some people suspect Dr. Agasa  But, if the BO follows the trend of most large organizations.. there will be some boring old white man that we haven't even met yet

2. Kogoro was a detective for a very long time.. and then he retired and still does detective work. Could you imagine if this entire SERIES.. He has known Conan is Kudo? And ever since then.. he's been acting like a bumbling fool to hide his actual intelligence in order to keep Conan thinking that Goro would never figure it out. This is something that is possible even without tying into the whole end-plot.

2a. Same theory as 2, but apply it to Megure. Keep in mind, this is alot more plausible than Mouri being the great detective, as Megure knew Shinichi when he was a boy.

Me and You... I 2 I.

I've also come across that Dr. Agasa theory... remember, *he* is the one who said keep it a secret from Ran. Things probably would have went much smoother if Shinichi had told her the truth (though, we would be missing some good shows with Ran suspecting Conan as Shinichi). However, I sincerely doubt Agasa is behind this.

Now, I also believe that we have come across the leader of the BO already, it's someone we have seen on a regular or recurring bases. This would definitely be more exciting than it being some "boring old white man", lol. I suspect Shiratori might be a part of this -- it makes perfect sense that the BO would have someone on the police force involved in things.

As for Kogoro, has anyone else noticed that he's at his best when those closest to him die/are harmed/kills someone? Those times he's right on point and doesn't need as much help from Conan. That makes me think he isn't as dumb as we think he is, and that maybe the split with his wife caused him to go into what I call "F**k Effort Mode".

It hasn't crossed my mind about Megure knowing, but it makes sense.

As for a big death, I don't want Ran to die, but it would cause for a very interesting showdown and ending. If Heiji dies, I'm e-burning my scans. Yet, someone in this small circle might have to die for it to have a greater impact. Dr. Agasa's death could do that just as well as Ran's.

I hate to say it, but if there has to be a "big death" (ie a fan favorite) , it makes sense that it would be Haibara.

I mean, if everything goes down and the BO is caught and everything, where does that leave her?

Does she stay as a kid, or as an adult? she doesnt have any family left, either, so she doesnt really fit in anywhere.

And she obviously couldnt be with Conan/Shinichi, because of Ran...

so it's kind of the logical choice that she would be the one to die.

What?  After so many people have risked their lives to keep her alive?  Let's see, Conan's protected her, Ran has been shot at to save her, and even Genta risked being blown to bits to keep her safe.  If she died now, it'd make all their sacrifices mean nothing!

In the end, I think she'll realize that she does have a family in the Detective Boys and Prof. Agasa, and she'll choose to stay young so that she can grow up with them.

I'm totally with c-square. Even if the aptx is obtained, Haibara will stay as a child. She has nothing waiting for her as Sherry, but as Ai, she has the tantei-dan, the hakase, even Shinichi as a good friend, and I'm sure she's starting to see a sister in Ran.

Hmm even if it's Ran (though I really don't want it to be) who is the made to be the 'big death' (or any other fan favorite, actually), I'm sure as long as Gosho is doing to for the story and not for the fans, he will come up with something that we will all like, ne?

[Rio Nagava]

Is it just me or we have two similiar topics here? 

Anyway...

Come to think - i don't want to good characters to die.
I'm got tied to them while i'm reading manga and if one of them will die - it would be horrible.
Sure thing, in most mangas that i read some good person dies. One or two, maybe even more.
Sometimes it's fits in storyline as brige between two parts or something, but it's sad anyway.

I think that Kudo will get his body back. For sure. And it will reveal fact that Conan is Kudo.
And it's possible that BO will be destroyed. In Japan...
And Gin will die, probably killed by Akai (cuz i think that he's still alive as "Holmes" faking his death). Or BOSS himself in order to slow Kudo down.
Also i think that there won't be Big Death, more like Big Incident. Which bring them all to hospital. 
I mean, that BOSS will blow himself or something, and all will get hurt, and Shinichi will reveal Ran all his feeling towards her or something. Sure after that she lives =)
Then, i'd rather see as Shinichi ask Ran to be his wife (this will force her parents finally restart their relationship).

As for Ai... Well Sherry is no more. And she still can start a new life afterall... I mean suddenly some Prince Charming well reappear, or she'll remain as is. And wait till that boy grow older =)

Some members of BO still remain outside. And if Japan will be cleared from them maybe other places won't.

What i'm trying to say, is that i want a Happy End. I mean everybody alive and well - everyone is happy.
After THAT will be over, everything is possible.

Sure it's childish like... But it's not that much is it?

No, it's okay to want happy endings. No one realizes, but that's what most people like. (Though, everytime I write a story I end up killing people off and my friends ask me why I'm so cruel ) And yeah the characters have pretty much grown on me, too. And I want Shuichi to have his revenge. (I liked Akemi's character).

And yes, there are two "End of detective Conan" topics here. Only difference is one is called "the true ending of detective conan". I don't know why. 

[Lu_Ck]

i think the last episode will be like a 1 or 2 hour special where kaitou kid makes an important appearance. he meets conan and they both, with heiji, work together to take down the BO (black organization) once and for all. in the end, conan will have a choice to get the drug (to return to his normal self) or save Ran. So, he saves Ran and tells her who he really is and even proves it somehow. Then, kaitou kid takes off and the BO is gone (including many getting arrested and the death of Gin and the Boss). The FBI and CIA close up the case. Conan and Ran kiss; and Heiji and Kazuka kiss. Months go by since the fall of the BO, Conan can turn back to Shinichi anytime he wants to since Haibara develops something that can. And a case, will come up where Shinichi takes on the identity of Conan and tries to solve the case with Kogoro (he, unfortunately, will not know Conan's true identity).

And I also think, there will be a special OVA where Ran and Shinichi are married. They have a child and name him Conan (who apparently looks like Shinichi when he was Conan). Conan (Shinichi's son) goes on to continue his father's legacy. He then encounters the mysterious thief kid, Kaitou Kid jr.

P.S. the boss of the BO will be some guy in a wheelchair and on life support. basically, someone we (the fans) have never seen.

[mleeneg]

Wonder if they found out who Kaito Kid is. Maybe help solve his case.

[Rio Nagava]

It's really obvious, but it seems that Kid is somewhat of Eternal Rival - and his True Identity won't be exposed.
Unless of course, his father won't explain that he encounter Kaitou before =)

[jelly_Ace]

There are some pretty good theories here... I specially like the whole Kogoro knows everything theory. I mean, sometimes in the series he's been wondering about Conan's identity and how come the kid's such a smart-ass. And what if he developed an immunity to Conan's tranquilizer, and was merely faking the whole thing? After all, when Heiji was tranquilized he came out of it before Conan ended his "mystery show".

Why are so many people pushing for Ran's death?  I mean, come on. That's just sad for Shinichi. He's been waiting for so long finally say his feelings for the girl, and then she dies??? Poor guy. 

[codename64546]

simple ending: kudo gets karate'd by ran

[sk1887]

Well i think in the current episodes, Clash of the Red and black, they will just have more clues to find out about the organization.

If they will capture all the members, there is still the problem about the Conan being a youngster, and the series would go on, trying to make another drug!

[edited out by Jd-: Spoilers >.>]

I'm sure they won't end the anime as of soon, there has to be loads of money going with it They keep doing mangas, movies and the next episodes!

That is just like my fanfiction which I have been wirting now for weeks. I was really thinking about sending it to Gosho and tell him to draw the ending with that story, since it seems to pleasure most of the DC fans all oder the world. 

In my story there is also a long special about Ran not forgiving Shinichi first for hiding that he was Conan all the time and then a big love scene on the airport when Shinichi is about to follow his parents to the USA.

Ah, and I am sure that Kogoro is now immune to the needles Conan uses every time on him, and is only playing the sleeping Kogoro because he knows he is not smart enough to solve the cases by himself. So many times that he got them, the body should be used to it.

After all, when Heiji was tranquilized he came out of it before Conan ended his "mystery show".

That's cuz he got boot to the head =)
Already forgot that?
Conan got chill when that happend. He thought that Heiji wokes up, after a hit. And he did. =D

Why are so many people pushing for Ran's death?  I mean, come on. That's just sad for Shinichi. He's been waiting for so long finally say his feelings for the girl, and then she dies??? Poor guy. 

Yeah yeah... You want them both die as a virgins? C'mon!
Poor Kudo suffering from Ran's actions towards Conan. I mean they taking bath together, hot springs, beach partys...
Eventually i wanna see them doing it normally =)
Nice couple - Great Detective, and his sidekick ^^" With some nice side kick. Or was it Shoruyken?
Btw does Kudo actually can defend himself without a ball? =^_^=
