***The Desperate Revival*** (命がけの復活 ,*Inochigake no Fukkatsu*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) is the 188th, 189th, 190th, 191st, 192nd, and 193rd episodes of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* [anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime").
In the arc, it's apparent that [Ran](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri") once again comes to the conclusion that [Shinichi](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo") and [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") are the same person, and after Conan is shot by a group of thugs in a cave, he decides to tell her the truth. However, with the help of [Heiji](/wiki/Heiji_Hattori "Heiji Hattori") and [Haibara](/wiki/Ai_Haibara "Ai Haibara"), he is able to convince Ran that Conan and Shinichi are not the same. Plus, Haibara has created a [prototype antidote](/wiki/Prototype_antidote "Prototype antidote") for him, and he is now Shinichi! However, the antidote does not last long, and leads to heartbreaking results in the life of Shinichi and Ran.
