| Am I missing something, or does the second season or manga have some explicit gay content? This is an adaptation of a shonen manga from one of the Shonen Jump sub-brands, so it's strange for me to hear that, but I've seen quite a few fujoshi on the internet claim that there is some sort of mutual attraction between Sherlock and Morianti. |

| I- Listen I love me my BL content, but in no way shape or form the rivalry between Moriarty and Sherlock is BL. Fujoshis need to chill on this one. Both characters are very competitive and thrilled by the idea of having a rival or someone that can outsmart them/challenge their abilities. Maybe it's admiration or fascination or even respect, but nothing romantic. |

At the same time, every time it is so loud and sincere that even me it becomes interesting. |

Fujoshis can literally turn anything into BL if they put their mind to it, so Moriarty the Patriot is no exception. However, I can safely say, this show is BL-free. There are no hints whatsoever, not even fanservice you would find in other "shounen" shows. |

If I remember correctly, there was a bit of Sherlock x Miss Hudson in the first season. I also heard that Irene Adler added to the cast this season. |

If I remember correctly, there was a bit of Sherlock x Miss Hudson in the first season. I also heard that Irene Adler added to the cast this season. I saw people complain about the depiction of Sherlock as the "lover" a couple of episodes ago when he followed Irene to her meeting with the older Moriarty. I personally did not see it like that. I thought of it as admiration of her strong personality, the way she rescued the drowning girl and maybe the way she also managed to use Sherlock's status to protect herself. As for Miss Hudson, I think they're jokingly flirty and nothing serious. Some might argue that the tension between Irene and Miss Hudson is jealousy, but I also see it as females seeing through each other's act and simply not clicking. I guess it depends on the way you interpret and view it, but given the themes of the show and even the tags, it would be kind of irrelevant to introduce romance this far in the story. |

So, as in the first season, romance and ships are only subtly teased here and nothing more? |

| ? haven't read the manga but idt there's meant to be any romantic relationships between the male characters. people just like to ship |
| I would rather ship Sherlock with Watson |
| I wouldn't say BL cause that's a whole separate category in & of itself... but yea I'm guessing most of the people in this thread are anime-only's so that kinda makes sense considering the anime cut out almost ALL of the major development between the two of them - to the point where the ending is gonna be hardly as impactful now. But the 'shippers' on the internet actually have a more than valid reason to ship them b/c as far as I can tell they're mainly referencing the manga, in which case the pairing is actually probably as "explicitly gay"/canon as a non-hetero pairing can get in a Shounen Jump manga. At this point I just genuinely feel bad for anyone who hasn't read the manga yet *Cries in chapter 55* |

| I don't think that this show has any BL.. Moriarty and Sherlock may have strong feelings for each other but probably aren't of love.. . This show is filled with some great handsome Husbandos tho.. i love me myself a Dakimura of Sherlock! |
BAHAHAHA THIS AGED LIKE MILK, COPE SO HARD    |
