Case Closed (Detective Conan), a long manga and anime. Are you worried about what happens to the Case Closed’s ending? I share what the author Gosho Aoyama said about the Case Closed’s ending, and the legends and expectations among fans. Please note that there are some spoilers!!!
[Case Closed] What happens to Conan’s ending?
When is the ending?
Detective Conan Banner↑
Conan Edogawa= Jimmy Kudo in the form of a child (Japanese : Conan Edogawa= Shinichi Kudo)
Rachel Moore (Japanese : Ran Mouri)
Anita Hailey = Shiho Miyano in form of a child, Code name : Sherry (Japanese : Ai Haibara = Shiho Miyano, Code name : Sherry)
※ I see Americans on the Internet sometimes using both their Japanese names and American names. Sometimes I inadvertently mix both in one article. I’m sorry to confuse you!
The ending of ‘Case Closed’ is rumored to be in the near future. Because, the story is rapidly advancing. For example, the relationship between Jimmy and Rachel, and that strange organization’s boss were revealed as Renya Carasuma. When the ending will be is still a secret and the author hasn’t announced it yet. Since 97 volumes have been published, some people say that it may end up to 100 volumes. However, some fans have predicted that Mr. Aoyama will not use such simple number.
The ending manuscript has already been completed!
The final manuscript has actually been completed. And it is stored in Mr. Aoyama’s home safe. The predicts why :
* When creating a story, it is said that by deciding the ending, the story will not shift in the wrong direction.
* Aoyama may have decided the ending early so that Case Closed’s fans will not be in trouble if something happens to Aoyama himself.
* The ending that he has already created is just the insurance, and the story will continue for a long time.
Mr. Aoyama’s word about the ending
The author, Gosho Aoyama, said that the ending of ‘Case Closed’ was a happy ending. I didn’t know, but Mr. Aoyama seems to be particular about that Conan is a character who doesn’t cry. An interviewer asked Aoyama, “Does Conan cry in the final episode?” He answered, “Ba-dump!” Whether it’s a happy tear or a sad tear to one problem, Conan may cry only once in the final episode, but we don’t know.(^^)
Ending legends and expectations
Can Conan return to Jimmy?
The author is stubborn about this!!!! Of course, he wouldn’t say anything about this.
5 possible predictions
- Conan completely returns to Jimmy and never returns to Conan. And he reveals to everyone that he is Jimmy.
- Almost the same as above but never reveals.
- Conan returns to Jimmy, but when he wants, Anita’s improved medicine allows him to return to Conan. And he reveals to everyone that he is Jimmy.
- Almost the same as above but never reveals.
- Near the final episode, there will be a period of confrontation with the ‘strange organization’. Conan is in need and continue to use the prototype of Apotoxin 4869. Then his body gradually develops antibody. So Conan can’t return to his original form and lives by revealing to everyone that he is Jimmy.
There must be a long episode focusing on the confrontation with the ‘strange organization’. It’s such a feature-length story, but it can’t be without it.
Conan (Jimmy) is damaged by poison and solves the case! He can defeat the organization. Don’t you think there is such a process? Separately, I digged in and predicted the final 2 biggest climaxes. If you are interested, please read this as well.↓

Case Closed Season 1, The main story summary
Ending that does not happen
↑Sega Detective Conan Episode One 5.9″ Premium Action Figure
- Conan (Jimmy) dies at the end. (Anita or someone else who knows the secret tells everyone that Conan was Jimmy, or never tells it.)
- Conan has an antibody against the drug and can no longer return to his original form. Live as Conan without revealing that he is Jimmy.
- The exact same situation as it is now will continue until he dies in the future.
- The relationship between Jimmy and Rachel does not have a happy ending, but Jimmy and Anita (Shiho) have a happy ending. (If that happens, it’s good for Anita.)
- There is no “the ‘it was all a dream’ ending”.
As for “the ‘it was all a dream’ ending”, there have been many such stories in the world. However, recently, there seems to be an atmosphere that the ending of “actually a dream” should be stopped except in special cases. (But not always) There is a danger that such an end will disappoint the fans. Well, there may be a “dream” ending in the sense of “awakening to the truth.” Conan’s words, ‘The truth is always one!’
What happens to that strange organization?
Is the strange organization producing the immortal drug “APOTOXIN 4869”? What is the true purpose of the drug? As a prediction, it may be for Renya Carasuma who wants his long life and continue to have financial strength. However, fingerprints and DNA do not change in this story. Even if he is now in the form of another person, he cannot hide his true identity.
Who is ‘that person’ Renya Carasuma?
The boss of that strange organization is only revealed to be Renya Carasuma, but his identity is not clear. Mr. Aoyama said, “Renya Carasuma is a surprising person.” Vermouth may be the wife or daughter of Carasuma. She doesn’t seem to get old. Or, Carasuma may be Sharon Vineyard, also Chris Vineyard (Vermouth). She is a master of disguise and may be taking ‘medicine’. (If so, Carasuma was a woman.) FBI Jody’s word to Vermouth, “Why you don’t get old?!” At the current stage of Case Closed, there are still too many mysteries. Don’t you think so?
Can Anita Hailey return to Shiho Miyano?
Haibara Ai Model Figure↑
Regarding Anita, there is an unexpected expectation from fans that “Anita will not return to her original form.” Because, as a happy ending for Anita :
* Enjoy the life of child more (Her name might be changed to original name Shiho Miyano.)
* Living with Dr. Agatha as a family.
* Child appearance is no problem for her favorite research.
* Give Jimmy a limited(?) antidote because she really loves Jimmy.
And so on. Anita is a very popular character. I’m actually a fan of her, so I’m really worried about her ending.
My expectation regarding Anita Hailey
* Anita will also return to her original form.
* She will live like a sister with Shuichi Akai, Shukichi and Masumi.
* Of course, she continues to have family relationships with Dr. Agatha.
*She will be a good partner or marry Rei Amuro (Toru Furuya) in the future!★★
What do you expect to the ending of ‘Case Closed’ and each characters?! (*^^*)/
More realistic prediction lists from 2020 to 2021!! new!
The latest predictions are so realistic! The latest predictions from Conan fans are super interesting! I’m just impressed. Maybe because the final episode is getting closer, more realistic predictions are coming up, so I’ll share it!
Conan is a character who never cry: He never cries in his tentative appearance as Conan. And after the conflict with the Black Organization is over, he returns to Shinichi's appearance and officially proposes to Ran. (Although it is a little early for age.) Ran accepts it, and Shinichi tears for the first time.
Conan, along with Akai and Amuro, defeats the Black Organization. The scene changes a few years later, and Conan is in Shinichi's appearance, marrying Ran and having a boy. And the boy is named 'Conan'. While acting as a detective, Shinichi also acts as a detective novelist like his father, writing stories about his Conan era.
Shinichi and Ran get married. And a boy is born. The boy also becomes a detective while watching Shinichi and Yusaku (Shinichi's father). And as a continuation of Detective Conan, the boy becomes the main character. (Like NARUTO and BORUTO?)
The episode does not go to the final episode. The final episode will be shown in a movie.
Conan, a popular person in the story, never disappears. So the meaning is that Conan cannot return to Shinichi. If he returns to Shinichi, it would be too sad to pretend to Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi that "Conan suddenly moved to a distant place." So that shouldn't happen.
Conan can return to Shinichi. However, just before or after returning to Shinichi, Ran kindly tells him. "After all, Conan is Shinichi and Shinichi is Conan, right? We have been living together for a while. I know you very well. ” Or something like that.
In the movie 'Countdown to Heaven' released in 2001- There was a scene using a machine that projected the appearance of a person 10 years later. So, when Conan and Ai Haibara used it, they each got an error. At that time, Haibara said, "It may mean that we are not alive in 10 years." But maybe they had already returned to their original form ten years later, implying that there were no elementary school students Conan and Ai.
The Black Organization is captured by Amuro, Akai and their associates. At the end, Conan is back in Shinichi. Like the first episode of the first volume, Shinichi reveals BO's true identity in front of Megure and other police members, as well as Jin and other main members of the Black Organization.
At the end, Shinichi and Ran meet again at Tropical Land. Maybe Shinichi calls Ran, or maybe Conan's voice calls Ran and Shinichi appears as a surprise. Or maybe it's the first time to transform from Conan to Shinichi or from Shinichi to Conan in front of Ran. The place where Shinichi last met Ran before transforming with Apotoxin 4869. After everything is settled, Shinichi (Conan) meets Ran again there. "I'm sorry. I made you wait for a long time."

Case Closed Season 1, The main story summary
sincerely, I completely disagree with shiho’s story, as I am very convinced that Shiho will be Shinichi’s final fight:
– in chapter 221, Shiho’s name is seen on a log with lucky arrows, and these kinds of things are known to carry weight in the story.
– In chapter 734, an oracle states that shinichi will have the worst of luck and that shiho will have the best, something so striking cannot be overlooked.
– In chapters 425 and 864, Gin warns that if she meets Kogoro she will kill him, and Ran can also be splashed.
– Eisuke can come back at the end and be Ran’s sneak. it is not as useless as many believe.
– The fact that Ran and shinichi are dating at this time calls too much before, because it gives time for anything to happen for their relationship to be truncated. For me, this is indicative of what is going to cut.
– Aoyama said in 2005 that it was impossible for Ai and Conan to end up together, but I don’t think she will say “no, actually Ran is just a goal, when her role ends the series will go the other way, Ai will be the one to stay with Shinichi ”. It would be a blow. Also, in the famous interview in Singapore, he answered “it is very difficult to answer that” to the question “will we see the wedding between Ran and Shinichi?”, Also, when asked about the end of Haibara, Aoyama said “it will be a good person, but I don’t know when it will happen ”, a slightly ambiguous answer and what he means is when Ai pleads or is reciprocated by Shinichi. I think Aoyama is preparing plot twist number one, a plot twist that will make history, that is, he is eclipsing the CoAi / ShinShi with the ShinRan, he is putting a red stone in a drawer of blue stones and no one would dare to look for one red stone in a drawer of blue stones.
– Although they believe that shiho has stopped falling in love with shinichi, this is false, because just before the school trip, Ai advises Conan not to flirt with a blush. and then later on, Ai is seen staring at Conan for no reason (as Yukik reveals on the subject of the gaze).

honestly, I completely disagree with shiho’s story, as I am very convinced that Shiho will be Shinichi’s final prisoner.
Aoyama has used many literary figures to make us understand that the relationship between Shinichi and Ran is hurt, he has also shown us a part of Ran that is overshadowed by its innocence. Aoyama is preparing something, the greatest proofs are given to us in Gin’s statements in chapters 425 and 864, and the lucky oracles of chapters 221 and 734. They are things that attract attention, if we look at Aoyama’s statements from Another point of view, poetry or having very revealing information, Aoyama is very good at playing with the mind.
Thanks for your comment! :) Your prediction is very interesting. I’m looking forward to the future of Shiho, Shinichi and Ran!
As for Eisuke, I think he will come back. He will surely be different from him before.
I am very sorry to have sent the comments so many times. When I saw that there was spam, I thought I had written something wrong, that’s why I went crazy.
No problem, Kinryu. I actually enjoyed your comment. Thanks!!!
My belief is dr agasa will be murdered thus sending conan to request the assistance of 1412 to bring down the organization
Oh, yours is a new version. interesting. How much Conan has been saved by Agatha’s invention. If Agatha is gone, Conan will be seriously hurt. 1412’s magic and physical ability can certainly assist Conan.
Gosho: “Everyone is wondering how things gonna develop with Haibara and how her end is gonna be?…. I guess her end gonna surprise everyone…. because she is …. Aaaaah I can’t say that.”
That’s what Gosho Aoyama said in his interview with La Davinici Magazine in December, 2018 as I guess.
And if it is… Wow, what a teaser! I would agree with Gosho saying most people are wondering about her, her story/character is the most intriguing. An end that is going to surprise everyone – what could this be? And when he says “because she is…” – damn, what could this mean?!!
Yeah, that’s true. It’s a teaser～!|0|
i think the best ending (after beating black org) is conan cant go back to shinichi so ran decided to take the poison to change into little ran. and they comeback as a kid and repeat all the memories together
Oh—! That’s a surprising idea for the ending! I see. That’s really interesting. But if so, the little Ai Haibara may continue to have a hard time. (/o＼) I hope Haibara also has a happy ending.
I think ai will be the key to beat black org and at the end she will sacrifice herself to helps conan
Sorry for the late reply! I thought I was checking the comments.
I see. Ai is more likely than anyone else to be the key to beat BO. I agree! As you say, because of Ai’s temperament, she may be sacrificed to help Conan. But Conan may not let her do it. ,,,maybe.:)
I really wonder what will happen to Haibara Ai ending!!
Since she was in fact one of BO members, will be she punished and jailed with the rest BO members, if she regains her original form as Miyano Shiho?? Will be she considered as a “true criminal” since she is the one who developed APTX4869?
Sorry for the late reply!
As you say, if she returns to Shiho Miyao, she may be arrested and punished. But if what she said before was true, she wasn’t aware that she was making poison. So her sin may be a little lighter….
To be honest, I have long forgotten about her sins. Until I read your comment!
I really love Ai Chan, and either I don’t want her to go to jail because of that “piece of shit” organization.. however, only God knows what Gosho has stored for Haibara and what her ending will be
