| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, it seems Irene is actually quite important this season and the length that Sherlock is going to protect her is something else. Irene is one of those characters that is hard to trust tbh. But for someone like Sherlock, he seems prepared to take any measures this arc. Quite a thrilling episode imo. |
 |
| Hmm an arrangement between Moriarty and Sherlock to protect Irene's life. I loved that part about the french revolution, so Robespierre = Holmes' ancestor... wut xD And now it's time for Irene Adler to get a new life... she's James Bond now? xD |
 |
| The Final Act of the British Empire's scandal, and going out with a bang. At this point, trusting Irene Adler is a no-go despite all the riff-raff against Sherlock, who wants to protect and keep her alive. As usual, Albert, the eldest of the 3 Moriarty brothers, finds himself playing the chessboard as the "Lord of Crimes" player to deride this entire fiasco, and Sherlock is but a chesspiece in the concise plan. The history of the French Revolution that created the stain on Britain's part, and the patriotic act of Maximilien Robespierre...the Moriarty brothers have shown themselves to Mycroft, and what a suspense of a struck deal between both parties. What an intense ride that ends in tragedy for Sherlock and Watson...the "death" of Irene Adler on Mycroft's behalf, and under a new name: the female James Bond. Quite the thrilling act this was. |
 |
| WOAH ok I'm not that knowledgable in Sherlock Holmes books or anything of that, but I never would have expected that James Bond part. I'm definitely looking forward to more. |
 |
| And Irene joins the crew. As James Bonde. Seriously.....lololllll What an elaborate deal between not only Sherlock & them, but Mycroft too. Sherly seems to be getting played left right front & back but I have a feeling he’s not entirely in the dark about things. This madman always has a few tricks up his sleeves. Loved it when he burnt the envelope. Yes......the Moran fanservice is what I’m looking forward to ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Shit.. not James Bonde |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Eeeeh I didn't expect Robespierre to be a Holmes at first ; and then Irene becomes James Bonde... got a smile from it |
 |
| What the hell they're bringing in James Bond LMAO |
| Damnnn the 4D chess was crazy this episode. Sherlock interrupting the trade between Irene and Moriarty only to get exposed for having a fake police Sqaud outside lol. Then Irene faking her death and joining the revolutionaries. Really intense episode . That closing scene “Bonde, James Bonde” gave me goosebumps |
 |
| wow, irene joined them. but that name lol |
jd2001z said: In the books and various adaptions, that has never happened to my knowledge. The James Bond thing is ridiculous lmfao. I also don't think Irene ever worked with Moriarty AFTER escaping the government. I think she may have worked with Moriarty to obtain the document or in some other form prior to meeting Sherlock in BBC's Sherlock. This should be interesting, I hope that it's done well.WOAH ok I'm not that knowledgable in Sherlock Holmes books or anything of that, but I never would have expected that James Bond part. I'm definitely looking forward to more. |
| I forgot that John and Mycroft had already met. I wish they hadn't. Mycroft was really mysterious in the books, and I kind of like that. I can't tell if they're going for a romantic mood between Sherlock and Irene. It feels like they're trying that, but I don't feel anything. I hope it stays the same way as it does in the books, and Sherlock just feels utter respect for her. It's so rare to see a man respect a woman and not have any romantic feelings for her. I liked the reference to the book they made when Irene, dressed as a man, met Sherlock before he was about to enter his flat. Irene is James Bonde. lol. That was so random! Isn't the character from a different century? Irene cut her hair, Mulan style. I wish she was a guy cuz she makes a really hot guy. |
| New life = haircut And lol, James Bonde was a reverse trap |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Great episode! The exchange of the document was pretty intense, glad it was resolved peacefully. I was thinking, "Noooooo" when Sherlock burned the paper with Moriarty's name on it. It's obvious why, but man, was that really necessary Sherlock? xDD Not sure how to feel about the James Bond thing, I got spoiled on it but it was still out of left field lmao. It's interesting how she's working for Moriarty now, I'm interested in seeing how this story will develop with this new addition. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Weak finale to this 3-episodes plot. But I guess it had to come like this. Otherwise we wouldn't have had more plot. So they had to make it that Holmes would burn the letter with the Moriaty name. The "Bondo, James Bondo" was funny lol. |
FuMomo-kun said: Mycroft and John met in different ways in different media, in this anime, John opened the door and Mycroft stood outside, pointing out the weight John gathered xD And in the BBC series, if I recall it right, Mycroft was the one who called John and arranged a meeting of some sorts. Don't recall what happened in the movies with RDJ, but they met somehow.I forgot that John and Mycroft had already met. I wish they hadn't.

| Great episode, ton of interesting developments and history here. Very interesting backstory on how the French Revolution was supposed to have happened in this Universe. Sounds like they are going for a martyr style ending, I guess the closest comparison I can make is Code Geass. Curious to see how it'll play out. Did not expect the Irene becoming James Bond thing at all, but had a good chuckle when she said it. xD |
 |
| That was quite bold of Sherlock, burning the letter. |
 |
| Lmao James Bond. Now that is a meme of a name. Can't say I ever thought I'd hear that name in anime. Anyway looks like team Moriarty got a lot more power through this arc. They gonna have a lot more freedom with Mycroft off their backs. Also I like how Sherlock burned the envelope. I'm sure he knew Irene wasn't actually dead. Especially when she spoke to him in passing as he was entering his home. |
| So Irene is now going by the name James Bond. I have to say, that was quite unexpected. Bond's name isn't one I thought would appear in this show. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| That little twist at the end was I suppose a bit tongue in cheek, but was totally unnecessary IMO. It distracts from the plot and general story line. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| So Irene is now working for Moriaty and Mycroft will not interfere with them, leaving Sherlock as the only one that can stop them. Not gonna lie though, Irene changing her name to James Bond was corny as hell. It was too forced and broke my immersion with how ridiculous it is. |
| james bond made me laugh so hard lmao |
| This was so cringe. It was doing such a good job and then to pull such a ridiculous thing out of their ass...did ian flemmings grandkid end up on the production staff or something? Like someone else said above it completely shattered the immersion or my ability to take any of it as a serious story. |
| Hmm what a deal that went on saving the life of Irene Adler. Im surprised that the deal went on since the papers were that important. |
 |
| This was probably the best ep of the anime so far with the unexpected reveal of the Moriarty brother's true goal (if they're telling the truth) and exposing their identities to Mycroft. I love the original idea of the anime of Irene becoming a man in order to protect herself and join the brothers too - that is retelling done right. |
 |
| My name's Bond, James Bond. That was fucking hilarious. |
 |
| So, the French Revolution was the doing of the British empire, through Maximilien Robespierre, who was the ancestor of the Holmes.....??? So Irene Adler now works for them Moriaty's as James Bond....sheees , lame... I'm not liking as to where this ep has gone, cu'z either them Moriaty's have the upper hand to which Sherlock becomes the fool or Sherlock may have something in his sleeves that them Moriaty's do not know about. |
| i was NOT expecting them to throw james bond into this show lmao interested to see how this will play out. (and they already told Mycroft? Man, Sherly gonna be pissed that he's the only one who doesn't know anything by the end of this show) |
 |
| Hmmm Irene = James Bonde hmmm Heck I'm all for it, this is just pure epicness each episode and I can't wait for William and Sherlocks interactoons going forward, 10 out of 10 episode. |
 |
| First the French Revolution shit, then James Bond. It's probably the first "darker" anime that I'm just not able to take seriously |
| Stuff in the streets, Stuff with drip in the sheets |
| I will ignore the name choice at the end since many people already commented on it, but I loved this episode. To think that the Lord of Crime would ever reveal his identity in the first place, but to Mycroft out of all people? Bold move and I like it. William calculating and predicting every move of everyone is really fun to watch. I wonder though if Mycroft announced Irene's death as part of the plan or to set up a trap for the Moriarty's. Although Sherlock did not buy it, I'm a little hung up on that detail. I feel like it's unlikely, but I hope the Moriarty's are not serious about going down as the scapegoat, I wouldn't like that ending. I want the villains/antagonists to win for once lol. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| I will admit that James Bond thing made me facepalm. Decent anime overall but wtf lol |
 |
| DAMN solid impressive episode! and we are just starting the revolution! i wonder how Sherlock is gonna mess with Moriarty superiority!? 5/5. |

| Yeah okay, the James Bond reveal was very unexpected lmfao. My first reaction was: "whaaaat??" |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |

| James Bond's appearance made me think that the author of Yuukoku no Moriarty is willing to mix British things within the story, so the next character could easily be Elton John |
theaznkid360 said: GTFO ...of all the names I was expecting to hear james bond was not one of them Only thing I disliked about the episode. How stupid. |
| Okay, that last bit was seriously not needed. Only downside of the episode, from my point of view as well. Mind games at its best here, even Mycroft is indirectly in on this plan-in-the-making. First instance certainly worked out in the story and I'm really curious to see how the "Lord of Crime" will succeed with the second instance. To be honest, I had a feeling this was the plan all along from the Moriaty's (not hard to decipher this, in the first place) but it's good to have confirmation and a reference to boot. Holmes' generation being involved directly in the Revolution and its aftermath was definitely a surprise though. Sherlock's struggle in the first half there was kind of tough to watch. James Moriaty is just too good and it's always fascinating to see the unravelling pf the schemes. As such, hoping for the same in the next arc and more! |
