After years of misfortune, his fate changes dramatically when he meets Totomaru Isshiki, also known as Toto, a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division. Ron solves the mystery while Toto works on the investigation. As they solve one difficult case after another, they gradually become a great team. Within BLUE, there were some people who understood Ron and kept a close eye on his actions. One of them, Principal Emmerich, says that the "Bloody Field Trip Case" that led to Ron's expulsion was orchestrated by someone. Behind the scenes was "the worst criminal family in history" which was involved in many unsolved cases—the M. Family. The head of the family is Mylo Moriarty. He sends his sibling Winter to Japan to give Ron more despair. What is the connection between Ron and Mylo...? |
| Episode 01 : the episode went so fast! Recap is quick but enough, instant back to business. The intrigue is good, I love this kind of mystery. Graphics quality is the same. I missed them! Opening and ending are quite average. |
| Episode 14 After the shocking revelation that Ron is the son of a Holmes and Moriarty that the House of M has issued him a high-stakes challenge in Shibuya. A guy was killed by being impaled on the horn of a unicorn statue, and has 010:00 written on his neck. While it's clear what the 10:00 part means, there's the matter of the leading zero that's the key to all this, which turns out not as a reference to the number, but to a certain location in which the crosswalks form a zero. He knew that because that zero doesn't look the same as the rest. While Ron and company made it there in time, another killing took place as the smokescreen was released and a hacker was killed by an arrow, which contains another clue, a triangle followed by 11:00. Things pick up right where they left off as this mystery is quite the thrill ride, just like with how I remember it to be. And of course, the one thing that defines Ron is that after discovering the culprit, his unconscious Moriarty power causes the culprit to commit suicide, which is exactly the reason why he had been secluding himself, but the House of M now has thrown the gauntlet at him. |
| Episode 15 The House of M continues to make Ron and company play with fire. The next clue is a triangle at 11am, and by following the next victim in another hacker, the answer was already outed as the triangle means delta, indicating the triangular Deltard Hotel. Even so, the hacker just ran scared out of his mind and was nearly crushed by the falling chandelier, but Toto was on top of things there realizing that something looked off about the chandelier just in the nick of time. And then for the final hint, it's off to the helipad at noon, and there he's greeted by the hacker. Or at least what's what it looked like as that was actually somebody from the House of M disguised as the hacker. But Ron fell into their trap as they lured them there so that they can terrorize Shibuya all while Ron and company are helpless being stuck at the top of the building. These House of M bastards are quite crafty there as they just want to rub it into Ron with this case in Shibuya. |
| Episode 16 Quite a lot of twists and turns here as just when it looked like Ron was doomed, he saw through all the smokescreen that Winter had put out. First of all, that explosion was fake as it wasn't really noon as the clocks said it was since Winter manipulated the clocks nearby, but Ron knew that time didn't go as fast enough to already be noon. They actually had four minutes to solve the riddle, and it turns out that the House of M kidnapped Amamiya and another officer, while setting off a bomb to kill her at noon. But Toto figured out that the 96 on his neck was the hint and that there's no other place in Shibuya that uses 96 for anything, meaning they were held captive at the base of the building as Winter said. But with communications cut off there's no way to notify to get down to the base of the building in time. However, Ron and Spitz thought ahead of time and he had a tracker and a secret mic on him so that Spitz could hear it all and disarm the bomb. Then as with every case, Ron's ability activates that has Winter jumping to his death, but he wore ear protection, and instead he's shot by another agent from the House of M. No question this was personal here as the House of M has it out for Ron seeing that he's both a Holmes and a Moriarty, and these guys are doing everything they can to rub it in. This time, it backfired since they didn't realize that Spitz heard every word of their conversation and had he kept quiet about Amamiya's location, Ron would have lost. |
| Episode 02 : The investigation is well put together, just diabolical enough without it seeming far-fetched. Looking forward to discovering the rest. Episode 03 : the riddle becomes more concrete, the mystery thickens, I really wonder what the end of this story is, I can't wait! Episode 04 : new investigation rather nice, on the other hand Toto you stink of bad luck, everywhere you go there are dead people! |

| Episode 17 Next case pops up just as Ron and Toto, along with Mofu who just moved into the apartment complex, were headed to the beach to chill. Unfortunately, the beach hut didn't have the shaved ice to allow them to chill the brain freeze way. And then a dead body washes up ashore that Mofu found, and seeing that he's in a drysuit that it was clear that he was murdered and not because of a surfing accident. It's pretty clear and obvious that the beach hut manager is the one guilty of killing that guy, but how remains to be seen as he apparently has an alibi. The assistant is consistently complaining about him using expired ingredients to cook the meals there, so it's quite clear and obvious it was the manager, but there's a lot that needs to be figured out. |
| Episode 18 It was quite obvious that the beach hut manager is the culprit, but the question is how as there just isn't anything that suggests that he did it. But when Mofu's klutziness causes her to eat sand that's filled with salt, everything came together. The manager used the ice blocks meant to be served as shaved ice to construct a raft using salt to allow the cubes to stick together, and as the ice needs to be perfectly smooth that he needed to use ice from the supplier to pull off this stunt. Then the guy was dressed up in a drysuit while passed out from drinking too much booze in order to prevent him from getting frostbite from the icy raft, that gets sent out to sea and then melts after the victim is well off shore. The manager's motive is that he wanted to silence an unruly customer, whose complaints are legit seeing that the food the manager makes are unsafe to eat. With that, Ron's ability activates to order the manager to drown himself in the sea, or at least that's what I would have expected to happen, but thanks to Mofu's medicine that he took that it didn't activate this time and instead he's knocked out for a day and had to be dragged back to his apartment. |
| Episode 05 : A bit far-fetched as a way to kill, but the episode was enjoyable nonetheless |
| Episode 19 Onto the next case involving a popular pop music composer who goes by the stage name Nyonyan, and her shows are so crazy popular. There was a letter sent by somebody known only as Hummingbird stating his intent to kidnap her. As such, Ron and Toto are tasked with protecting Nyonyan at her Yamanashi home and smoking out Hummingbird. The place appears to have state-of-the-art security with lots of fire alarms and a room where she does composing that's only accessible by a door leading to a long passageway. But suspicion immediately arises when the Yamanashi police is also deployed there, claiming that they are infringing on their jurisdiction, and not to mention the lead cop there is being quite smug about all this. Just when it looked like she couldn't be kidnapped so easily while in her secret room, she was. It's pretty clear that the Yamanashi police force either is or has close ties to Hummingbird seeing that they shouldn't be there, and are only making a mess of things. |
| Episode 06 : The episode was good overall, but I don't know, I find that something is missing compared to before, I'm not as invested anymore. Episode 07 : Hummingbird's identity was obvious from the start, so boredom quickly set in. The politically correct reason for the kidnappings is too much of a contrast from the other investigations. |

| Episode 20 There was no question who Hummingbird was there as Sannou and the Yamanashi police acted rather suspiciously. As it turns out, Nyonyan is actually the "manager" Mitsubashi and the person who appears to be Nyonyon out in public is just one of her agency's singers. Toto was able to connect the dots just when it looked like Sannou had accused Mitsubashi of kidnapping Nyonyon as he saw through all the flawed logic. Not to mention, Nyonyon's fear of heights pretty much confirmed that the one posing as Nyonyon is a fake. But in the end, Sannou did all this because he wanted to help out his daughter, whose mental health had taken a turn for the worse after being put through some extremely harsh music training and the stress was just too much for her. Sannou was hoping that he can get her motivated again by bringing Nyonyon to her. So in the end, nobody was arrested and no charges were field, and the real Nyonyon returns to the stage. It was a rather inconsequential case, but it was something to help out others in need. |
| Episode 21 Onto the next case where Ron and company head on over to the psychology lab at Tokyo University with Chicory as she gathers Maruyama's research there, but at the same time tensions are quite high. And then comes the case as the lab explodes and the student Himeno gets caught in it and dies. So the detectives try to piece things together as it turns out that somebody filled the room with a flammable gas, which is not supposed to be part of any experiment. So looking through the experiment data and records that are available, as well as needing to connect the dots as the culprit had to know Himeno would be using the room that morning that they are onto something. But then comes the threatening letter, and the fact that it came after the incident and not before made Ron realize who did it. So with all this evidence pieced together, let's see what Ron and Toto figure out who did it and how. |
| Episode 08 : The episode wasn't bad, but I admit that I never really got into it, it lacks rhythm and transition between scenes. |
| Episode 22 It was quite obvious who the culprit is here as Professor Aoe was the only one who knew that Himeno was going to use the lab at that moment, and the timing of the threatening letters is proof of that seeing that they were supposed to be received by the targeted victim before the crime happens, not after. As it turns out, Aoe's objective was to destroy the files on the computer in the research lab that proves that his research material is all fake, and the explosion was just a diversion as he was going to use the magnets in the MRI to wipe the server clean while everybody was distracted as files could still be recovered if the hard drive is destroyed, but not if they get exposed to magnets. Aoe wasn't targeting Himeno specifically, but knowing that it was her who was there when it happened that he had prepared letters for all his students. And the final nail in the coffin is that he didn't visit the lab in the week, which is unusual for him realizing that it would soon become a danger zone. So with that, the case is solved, Aoe is arrested as Ron took the medication to keep his Kill on Sight at bay, and Toto attends Himeno's funeral. Then it ends with Ron and company heading out to the site of their next case, the Auberge Reunion, as they get an invitation to have dinner there and even though it was in a letter postmarked 17 years ago, the emerald there is proof that this invitation is real. |
| Episode 09 : The episode confirms the lack of interest felt for this investigation. The new one seems closer to the old ones and tempts me more! |
| Episode 23 Guests from all over the world have come to the auberge to enjoy a fancy dinner, but there's an ulterior motive at play. Of course, being the unrefined guy he is, only Ron would do something like pour black sugar syrup over his salad. After spending the night there, Ron and Toto are greeted with another case as Gardner was found murdered in his guest room. The evidence there includes the menu, flowers, a pick through the heart, and an emerald that was sent with the invitation. The culprit was quite a crafty one there, locking the door to make it appear to be a locked-room murder, while making it look like he came in and out through the window, and seeing that the window is locked that Toto realized that wasn't possible. Then Ron and Toto chase down Sasaoka, who was a taxi driver in London, and it turns out he has history with Ron's family seeing that he encountered a guy just like him 17 years ago, though it couldn't be his father seeing that he was dead before that happened. Ron should have stayed with him and just try and calmly explain things, but he left his side, which proves to be a critical mistake as another murder just took place. This time, it's Sasaoka who was left to drown in the bathtub after getting stabbed. Quite a dangerous situation here seeing that the isolated nature of this place made it easy to cut off access to the outside world. This is quite a long case in the manga that it started at the end of the previous episode so that it could all fit into this season. |
| Episode 10 : much better! A very thick mystery that makes you want to see the rest, that's what I like about this series. |
| Episode 24 With the way Gardner and Sasaoka were murdered and the dinner menu being present, Ron and Toto were able to figure out the connection as the way their corpses appear resembles that of the entrees on the menu. That's when the connection to the House of M gets established as the dishes are the same as the ones served 17 years ago, and emeralds were used as payment. And then Ron and Toto find a recording of Ron's father Eliot teaching him lockpicking and Ron realizes that his father didn't die before he was born as he remembered. And after that, Clark is murdered, with foam from the fire extinguisher to make his killing resemble the fish dish with foam garnish that is the third course of the menu. Whoever the killer is has quite the bone to pick with Ron and is somebody who is working with the House of M. Things just keep on getting more out of whack. |
| Episode 25 Ron decides that this is the last time he's going to be a detective seeing that the House of M is quite hellbent on making him go down the path of a Moriarty rather than of a Holmes. So with some keen observations, Ron and Toto realize that the murders looking like the dishes on the menu wasn't the key to solving the case, but the situational evidence. Gardner was holding a oniyuri flower, meaning that either Tiger or Lily is the culprit, and that the culprit cut flowers from the garden and used a balloon from outside the room to spread them in order to distort that message. Knowing that Lily can pick locks and Tiger can't that he immediately zeroes in on Tiger. But he wasn't fully convinced until seeing that Clark was murdered and the fire extinguisher was used for the decoration as the fact that wine wasn't used means that the killer didn't have access to a corkscrew. So after putting everything together, Tiger is the culprit, and he's also a member of the House of M. He sent out all the invites and did all this in order to get Ron to become a criminal that the Moriarty family is, rather than a detective. One more episode left as while the case has been solved, he has another thing on hand. |
| Episode 11 : Well, I had guessed the revelation of this episode for a while, but I admit it was well done. Episode 12 : a bit too far-fetched. The Moriartys should get a bit more concrete now. |
| Episode 26 (Finale) The Moriarty family will stop at nothing to make Ron a criminal, going as far as to have a doctor mess with his brain so that his mind would be taken over if he decides to be a detective. Ron's memories slowly come back as he now remembers seeing his father Eliot murdered in front of his eyes with the falling wine glass the trigger. And then Toto realizes that something didn't add up as the House of M would always execute anybody who failed their mission, and with the bacteria specialist Dr. Gore being killed without any problem that something was not right as it turns out that killing Dr. Gore was not the objective, and Dr. Gore is actually alive as Eliot swapped him for a corpse that looked like him to allow the real Dr. Gore to escape. And then Milo shows himself through the remote-controlled toy robot that Mia was holding as he had been watching Ron's every move and explains what really happened, and then blows up the place to set the auberge on fire, all while Tiger shoots Lily and Sakai in the leg. Luckily, there was an escape route created by the explosion and Toto and Mia brought Lily and Sakai out of the building. But Ron is still trapped, and Toto goes back to get him only for the escape route to be blocked off by falling debris. But Spitz arrives just in time to save the detectives. And this, the show ends with Ron declaring war on the House of M, and in particular the doctor that messed with his brain in order to stop him from becoming a detective. Quite a lot was revealed here as now Ron knows what he's up against, and that his life is his own and not for the House of M to mess with, all while learning that his father wanted him to not go down the path of a criminal. Final Thoughts This season was more of the same as the first, albeit with more comprehensive cases and drama with the House of M involved. As with the first season, some of the cases just felt pointless, albeit less so this season than the first. The drama and mystery aspects were well-done once again, all while there was some solid character development as well. That said, the parts involving the House of M got really irritating at times as those guys were not exactly well-written. All things considered, this season is pretty much an extension and continuation of what the first season did and didn't do well. Grade: B- (7/10) |
| Episode 13 : a nice ending, good twists, but we need a sequel! Overall show: 7/10 |
