Ch. 41A Startling Change / Tom Seems Like a Really Nice Guy
Tom sent Conan a bottle of alcohol that restored him temporarily to his original form, forcing him to reveal his identity and the truth about the Black Organization to Ran. The chapter ended with Shinichi Kudo realizing that Tom had planned the transformation and that, with Ran now informed, he did not need to rush to become himself again.
- Jerry forced Conan to drink the alcohol Tom had sent and delivered a note predicting a cure for his cold and a surprising change.
- As Conan's fever and heartbeat intensified, his body grew until he returned to his original form, and Ran recognized him as Shinichi Kudo.
- Shinichi explained his shrinking, his deception, and the Black Organization to Ran, who moved from shock and anger to concern.
- Shinichi told Ran that he did not know whether the alcohol was an antidote and sensed that his restored form might only be temporary.
- Jerry left Tom's note, which revealed that the alcohol temporarily overcame Shinichi's drug resistance and that Tom had expected Ran to learn the truth.
