Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri

Relationship analysis

Shinichi and Ran

Ran Mouri is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have known each other since kindergarten and have been playmates since, which caused some censure from Ran’s mother, Eri Kisaki.They are very close to each other; as they have always been together since their childhood years all the way to their second year of high school. Both Ran and Shinichi have somewhat of a love-hate relationship before Shinichi 'disappeared'. However when Ran meets Conan (who is Shinichi, although she's unaware of this fact), she tells him that she has been in love with Shinichi for a long time- probably since they first met, which of course causes Shinichi/Conan to blush.

Conan (Shinichi) is currently living with Ran and her father, Kogoro Mouri in his detective agency. Since living with them, 'Conan' has solved many cases in Kogoro’s place without him noticing, making ‘Sleeping Kogoro’ a household name. Shinichi has been able to have a great deal of affectionate moments with Ran since becoming Conan. This includes hugging, holding hands, sitting in her lap (etc.), even sleeping in the same bed and having a bath together once which causes Shinichi/Conan to have a nose bleed. While still as Conan, Shinichi is able to keep other guys away from Ran, as seen in episode 6 when he tells a guy to never go near her and at the end discovered the chocolate that Ran had made for the guy was only a chocolate for celebrating Friendship.

Shinichi has confessed to Ran (although non-canonical) in the 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' which she mistook as his attempt to get her memory back. He has also, during a brief return to his true form, canonically planned to propose to her but was interrupted by a case and turned back into Conan before he could. When Shinichi went missing Ran was worried sick (so much that she couldn't even sleep) and was on the verge of going to the police. After many events in the manga, Shinichi decides to give Ran his cell phone number for her to call when she wants to speak to him, and, as Conan, uses his bow tie to mimic his real voice and reassure her he's fine, despite the fact that she may be endangered due to having contact with him.

Shinichi doesn't dare tell Ran he's Conan as, until the Black Organisation is stopped, she could be in danger if she knew the truth (though Ran has almost caught on several times in the show)- also although Shinichi does love Ran, he has stopped himself from (canonically) telling her about his feelings, as then she will miss him even more and he doesn't want to see her cry anymore, even if he is no longer in her heart (it is possible, however, that Shinichi hasn't really thought this last statement through, as even after this he's seen getting jealous and fending off any men who get close to her, proving he clearly does care if someone else is in her heart instead of him).

Despite their obstacles, it is quite obvious that throughout the series Ran and Shinichi (Conan) have a relationship that started as childhood friends but developed into love- however, how long it will take until it is safe for this love to prosper and be openly shown depends on the impending defeat of the Black Organisation.

Shinichi/Conan and Ran moments

Episode 1

When Ran asks Shinichi "But wouldn't you just want one girlfriend" he looks at her with a sort of a romantic look in his Eyes but then he gets caught by her asking "Why are you looking at me like that". Then at tropical land when they are at the mystery coaster Ran asks Shinichi why did he come with her but Shinichi never really gets the chance to tell Ran an answer because she then holds his hand and they fall down into the steep hill where a murder was about to be discovered. After Shinichi solved the case, he leaves ran to find out what those men dressed in black were up to and leaves her in the middle of tropical land.

Movie 1 : The Time-Bombed Skyscraper

Considering May 4th is Shinichi's birthday, Ran went out with Sonoko to buy him a gift. On the phone, she asked Shinichi(Conan) what color he prefer most: red or blue, and Shinichi answered red which excites Ran. She planned on inviting Shinichi for a movie the night before his birthday, and with Moriya Teiji knowing about this, he decided to bomb the whole place aiming for Shinichi. Inside the movie hall, Ran was trapped inside the collapsing building due to the numerous bombs placed, which alerted Conan and hurriedly went inside to try to save her. He called to the telephone inside the main lobby where Ran is, using Shinichi's voice and asked Ran if there's anything suspicious inside. She found a bomb and Conan instructed her to disconnect the wires, which left them with the red and blue wire. Seeing they weren't in the manual, Conan came into conclusion that she should cut the red one, which is Ran's favorite color. Ran hesitates of cutting the wire, but Conan responds by saying "Don't worry, I'll stay here until you cut it. If we die, we die together." Very few seconds were remaining until midnight and a rescuer dragged Conan away, only the time when he realized he instructed Ran to cut the wire that will detonate the bomb. What's strange is the bomb didn't go off even when time's up, and Conan discovered Ran has cut the blue wire. At the end when Conan asked why, Ran told him that color red is her and Shinichi's lucky color and cutting the red wire means cutting off their relationship.

Movie 2 : The Fourteenth Target

Inside the Aquarium-like building, a bomb goes off which blows the whole aquarium up. Considering it's in the middle of the sea, water enters the building which leads to drown some of the people targeted. On the surface, Conan noticed Ran was nowhere in sight, so he suspected Ran was in the bottom of the water. He grabbed an empty bottle for air and dived in, and discovers Ran was indeed in the bottom, her foot stuck in a car model which was drowning her. Conan quickly placed the mouth of the bottle into hers to allow her to breathe, and Ran thought it was Shinichi who saved her. When she came to her senses, she realized it was Conan. Conan's foot gets stuck in the car too, and thus he was unable to hold on much longer and fainted. Ran then 'kissed' Conan, resulting to a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. When Conan wakes, Ran then fainted, so he makes use of Ran's sacrifice that very moment and he managed to remove the car using his belt suspenders. When finally in the surface, Ran thanks Conan, into which Conan blushes.

When the culprit was finally figured out, he grabbed into the weak Ran as hostage and dragged her up in the heliport of the sinking building. The culprit called unto Conan to bring him Shiratori's gun, and even he hesitated, Conan deliberately obeyed. But seeing the scene was exactly when Eri's been held hostage and Kogoro was in decision, Conan understood why he shot Eri's leg. He did the same then, in which he slightly shot Ran's leg in order for the culprit to let go. In the end, Ran also realizes why Kogoro shot Eri's leg is because to save her, not to threaten her. She thought that if Shinichi was in the case, he'll do the same as Conan did. Meanwhile, Conan understood the meaning of the video game he played earlier that he will get to kiss someone, and that was Ran during the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Movie 3 : The Last Wizard of the Century

On the ending part, Ran was sad while holding the bird( without knowing it that the bird belongs to Kaitou Kid). conan came and they talk for awhile. Ran put back the bird and looked outside. Conan said," Ran-neechan..." Ran said," Thank youfor saving me back there.You were really brave then Conan-kun. just like Shinichi. Just...like Shinichi..." She satarted crying. Conan said," Ran..." Ran said while crying," But you are someone else, right? Am I right? Conan-kun" Conan looked away sadly then smiled a little and thought," It's time..." Conan said," A-Actually...ran..." Ran got surprised. Conan said while removing his glasses," The truth...is really..." Ran got more surprised and said," Shinichi." When conan looked back Shinichi's right there standing. Ran removed her tears and asked," Is that really Shinichi?" Shinichi said," What's that all about? I heard you were involved on a case so I came to see you." Conan got really shocked and thought," H-How..." Ran approached Shinichi and said,"Idiot! why haven't you called me?!" Shinichi said," Sorry, sorry. I've got this case...I have to leave again tonight." ran said," Just wait! let me get you a towel!" Ran run upstairs. After a few minutes, Conan said," Hold on, Kaitou Kid." So after all it was kaitou Kid disguised as Shinichi.

Movie 4 : Captured in Her Eyes

Some of the scenes You'll see is all what happened before the episode 1 happened. Shinichi's so romantic at that time. Then the next one is when Ran got an amnesia and Conan wishes he could be Shinichi so that Ran might remember him. We could also say that there are also Ran and Conan moments. Like the culprit's target was Ran because she saw his face and Conan need to save Ran. The next scene will be all of ShinRan fans waited to be. Ran asked why does Conan kept protecting/ saving her? Conan answered in Shinichi's voice( without using the voice changer)," Because I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. IN THIS WORLD< MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE." Ran got surprised when Conan told her that. Well, in the end Ran thought Conan just told her that so that her momery will return and also said that she's too old for Conan. *sigh*

Movie 7 : Crossroad of the Ancient Capital

This movie is all about Heiji's first love but there's also a little moment of Shinichi and Ran. ran's running toward the temple. Then some somewhat of guards came walking in her direction. Then someone grabbed Ran's mouth and said," Don't move!" Ran did so and after a few minutes the cloud that covers the moon move and revealed who it is that grabbed Ran. "Shinichi!" Ran said. " You have the same expression...Like last time." shinichi said. But at that time Shinichi's body's burning. You know, when he'll turn to Conan. Of course, Ran shouldn't see it so Shinichi uses his wristwatch and Ran fall in his. Then while His body's turning to Conan, he's hugging Ran tightly.

Movie 8 : The Magician of the Silver Sky

Conan talking to Ran as Shinichi to assist her

While trying to land a pilot-less plane, Ran, at the steering controls, feels the burden of being responsible for the lives of the many passengers aboard. Conan, noticing her fragile state of emotions, asks Sonoko to take his place as the co-pilot saying he has to go to the washroom. After leaving the cockpit, Conan uses the communication system to speak to her (through her headphones) as Shinichi claiming he'll protect her and guide her into performing a safe landing. And quite unexpectedly, Ran instead gets mad at him for being like an eclipse: one minute he's there, the next he's gone. She goes on to say that there are moments she wished he was there and not always pretending to go away for a while but never come back. After bursting into tears, she eventually lets out a: "I love you Shinichi".

But after the landing, when Conan once again calls her as Shinichi, she tells him how she was misled by Kaitou Kid pretending to be him and that "her secret wasn't out" after all. Shinichi, feigning ignorance, asks for more information. But she replies that this is a secret between the Kid and her and that he should use his detective skills to pierce the mystery all by himself.

Movie 9 : Strategy Above the Depths

there's also a part in this movie that revealed some of Shinichi and Ran childhood memories. Ran is very good at the hide and seek game. Whenever, she'll hide there's one person who could find her. Shinichi! In this movie it happened once maybe because in the latter part Kogoro with the help of Conan found Ran.

Episode 101

On the final scene after the ending song, the senpai confessed to Ran and sonoko that she was the one who confessed to Shinichi but rejected. She even spread lies about him so that Shinichi would notice her but it seems he doesn't care at all. Sonoko asked what charasteristic of Shinichi appealed her, She replied," let's see... I didn't really notice it at first. I just thought he was an extraordinary rookie, making the team and becoming mid-fielder in his first year. Then one day, I shared a lemon pie I had made with the soccer club. Everyone said it was really good, But only he said..."Huh? This tastes like crap" Ran apologize," He just had a weird sense of taste." The senpai demand," No. It actually tasted bad back then. When I asked the others later, They told me they were just being polite. So, I was mad and I baked a lemon pie everyday...for three months, until he told me it's good. And before I knew it, I was the manager of the soccer club and madly in love with him. Although a certain person here succeeded on her first try." She looked at Ran and Ran asked," huh?" She answered," Did you know? I was being mean and gave you the wrong baking instructions." Ran got surprised and said," What? Why?" She said," Jeez. do you want me to spill it out for you? Do you want to know what he said after I confessed?" Conan's blushing and said," um, hey! " Sonoko covered his mouth and demand him to shut up. The senpai continued," He said shyly," Ah, sorry, senpai. I already hae someone I've liked since I was little. She's strong-willed and stubborn but cries a lot. She's weird like that." What do you think?" Sonoko asked," H-Hey, Ran Isn't that..." ran said," I don't remember anyone like that." Sonoko and Conan sighed. This episode means that Shinichi's first love is Ran.

Episodes 188-193: The Desperate Revival Series

These episodes are really sad.The part when Ran said that she will donate her blood for Conan, and when Ran was crying when Conan told her that Shinichi left again (the background really did something to it). Anyways, aside from sad parts, there are also some scenes that had me laughing and laughing: Shinichi greets the Detective Boys, but they ignored him since they don’t know Shinichi; Shinichi calling Ran, “Ran-neechan”; Shinichi and Ran’s classmates eavesdropping to their conversation ; Heiji pretending to be Shinichi but was caught easily by Kazuha; Haibara disguising as Conan ignored Heiji; Kogoro cheering for Ran in the play; Kazuha yelling at Ran that she can take care of those guys in the play by using karate; Kogoro trying to stop the play because of the romantic scene; Ran telling Shinichi that what he wants to say is if he can borrow school notes and; Shinichi trying to stop himself into checking out the murder case while trying to tell Ran his true feelings. These parts are really funny! Aside from the said scenes, there are also these really sweet scenes: Shinichi and Ran’s almost kiss in the play that was interrupted because of some murder and their date at Beika observatory Building restaurant.♥

Episode 162: The sealed chamber in the sky

This is also a funny episode – especially on the part when Shinichi asked Ran if her bra has a wire! Although Ran was only dreaming about this case on the airplane, Kogoro was really mad when he heard Ran sleep talking! ♥ This episode also explains some things on episodes 286-288. There's also a part a ShinRan fan would really love Shinichi was concentrating on the seats near the victim but couldn't. You know why? Because Ran accidentally sleep in his shoulder. One More,Shinichi's blushing.

Episode 286-288: Kudo Shinichi's New York Case

Shnichi and Ran in New York, Yukiko is there, and a case that has a connection with Greek Mythology..what else can you ask? This is one of my favorite cases, and Shinichi & Ran episodes. That “kizu or kisu” part is both funny and sweet! Ran really thought that Shinichi is going to kiss her! ♥ Also, that car part is so sweet! But I think Yukiko is the real culprit, why they have to do that ♥. They've got so many moments in these episodes. Like on the latter part that Ran's handkerchief flew away and Shinichi get it from her. Ran waited outside for Shinichi. Many minutes later, Ran can't wait anymore and goes up the stairs whereon her handkerchief must flew. Then she met a guy with a silver hair which was a serial murderer. Luckily, shinichi was there. And many more moments.
