This anime has done such a brilliant job of retelling the Sherlock Holmes cases that I can't wait to see what they do with Jack The Ripper! I'm also glad that we're back to things being told from the Moriarty perspective again cause everything they do is just so wickedly satisfying!

I can't even describe how impressed and wowed I am with what they've done with Irene Adler. They took everything she was in the books and perfectly translated it into anime form and then expanded upon it in a thrilling and utterly unique way that has me excited to see her succeed in her new role.

Why are people using she/her when it was discussed right in this very episode that Bonde identifies as a man? To the point everyone (with exception of Moran at the moment) agrees "you're a man, he/him" and say as such.
THANK YOU! THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE! People really have comprehension problems I guess, they can't even remember someone's pronouns smh. Bonde literally identifies himself as HE/HIM NOT SHE/HER it's really not hard to understand.

That aside I really loved this episode we got lots of character development, Bonde being his badass self, Jack the Ripper, AND Liam's squishy cheeks!! What else could I ask for? 😭

Bonde himself insists he's a man now, watch the episode again. Louis, William, they agree and defend his position. It's nothing to do with SJWs.

Considering why William has his group doing what they're doing, a fight to eradicate the class system so all can be equal in status, it's no surprise he is quick to go "Bonde's a man, what's wrong with him using this room?", which reflects a certain IRL issue. He stands for equal rights. I guess he's an SJW too?

William is one of the protagonists, the three Moriarty brothers are the anti-heroes. The anime decided to cut some of the goriest arcs where they saved children hunted down by nobles like animals before killing those disgusting filth. Or when they stopped a war with Afganistan and saved a bunch of people in the Embassy (In the manga, Albert sent Moran to this case, assigned by Mycroft way before the Adler case - they cut all the Albert and Mycroft dynamics). They also cut how William and his brothers put their land taxes extremely cheap to improve the lives of the people who rented it from the previous owner in episode 4 (the entire economical aspect was axed in the show) which show William's full empathy toward how hopeless and wretched they looked when they came to "pay the taxes" at the former pricing (He and Albert rejected that).

William and Louis really said trans rights, huh? Well at first I was critical because I assumed the whole James Bond thing was just crossdressing (a trope I'm tired of seeing in anime), but is this actual transgender representation? Maybe non-binary? If it is, then I'm happy with that. I will respect his new identity and pronouns. "James Bond is trans" is NOT the take I was expecting from this Sherlock Holmes fanfiction but I'm here for it.

Jack the Ripper huh? Well. Why not? Also William having to take a nap after his brain blasts is cute.

Jack the Ripper, here we go!


Because SHE is a woman, duh

Anyway good episode, I like how different they are treating Jack the Ripper story from other media
Also, he is voiced by Madara/Askeladd's voice actor! this man needs more roles
Because HE is a man. Lmfao. This episode was great by the way and I was surprised when "Madera" showed up haha.

When the actual Jack the Ripper started speaking I was like “Askeladd!” really missed that voice.

They say William staged that robbery to make everyone accept James Bonde but it was more like to make Moran accept James Bonde ( ̄▽ ̄)

When James Bonde got those robbers in just one punch and one kick while counting in the dark, that was cool.

Anyway, I still can't with that name, I literally giggled each time I mentioned ‘James Bonde’ and just saying Bonde feels incomplete XD

Seems like Bonde's a slow-to-warm-up type of learner, but he's adapting to the crew as soon as he receives guidance.
I gotta say, I find it interesting that Adler adopts the Bonde persona quite strongly, makes me wonder if (s)he is doing it for the sake of preserving his/her life or it's their true identity.
Also, I'm beginning to think that the director just wanna use the names of well-known criminals/folk-lores to add in extra spice/dark, edgy elements to Moriarty's name. Jack the Ripper?!?!?!1 Dude...
Either way, I'm excited to see Moriarty's next move.

I'm really not digging Irene Adler, maybe I'll like her after few more episodes. It's way over the top, how she suddenly becomes a pro martial artist. And that bond name is cringeworthy Everytime I hear it smh. I really loved the Moriarty series, the next episodes be better because I'm having a hard time liking it. Also please Im just here to see William and Sherlock cat and mouse chase.

Once again, William forms an masterpiece plan. Well not for killing nobels this time. But to close the bond between Bonde and the other members. That was quite obvious, cause why would an bank robbery happen out of nowhere..

It worked well. And OFCOURSE! An anime around the 19-20th century without Jack the Ripper wouldn't be COMPLETE. Jack, a buler, warrior and now retired ig? will be helping William with the case of the phoney Jack the Ripper(S).

As people mentioned above, this isn't the first time that she disguised herself as a man. It's obvious that she does it frequently whenever she needs to in order to survive. And you can't say for granted that we will never see her without the disguise in the future.
You are taking "Yesterday I was a woman but today I'm just feeling like a man for some reason" way too seriously.

Anyway this is my last response to the topic as I think it does not deserve any more, and my point is very clear, better discuss the actual story in the episode.


Thing is, I have been discussing something actually in the episode.

Yes, there was disguises then. But, as of becoming James Bonde, he outright says that he identifies as a man. It's not just a disguise.

Please read the manga. Not only for extra stories that likely will never be animated and help tie up some loose ends, but also for further confirmation that James Bonde is here to stay.

Decent episode. That real Jack the Ripper guy seems cool. I mean Uchida is voicing him, how could he not be cool? Looking forward to seeing more of him.


Probably a really tight/specially designed corset. Or, like the Japanese do with the wrap around their chest.

So this old man saw this little pyscho and say "I will teach how to kill" lol, this show truly shines when it focus on the Moriartys, sorry Holmes but is not like Ms. Hudson appear than often with you on the spotlight.

Bonde was cool. The lack of Albert is the only bad thing from this episode.

Never thought I would ever see a crossdressing James Bond and Jack the Ripper working together. With the focus back on the Moriarty gang, I'm hoping we get to see how Moran and Fred met the brothers.

This anime is starting to loose me. James Bond. Jack the Ripper...What's next? Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde? Frankenstein? Peter Pan?

What about the revolution? The cat and mouse game between Holmes and Moriarty?
I hope the focus on these side characters is over soon. We already have enough interesting people to focus on in the main cast that need to be explored.

I want to check out the manga and see if it's better.

Yea, same.

I didn't care for Irene and I don't care about this metamorphosis into Bond. I thought the scene in the bank where Bond took everyone out was ridiculous and absurd.

This show has jumped the shark. You can't unjump sharks. It's over. I'll be dropping this. Sad because I really enjoyed season 1.

5/10

I just didn't enjoy the Irene stuff the first 3 episodes and I thought the bank scene was a joke. Whatever magic season 1 had is gone

As for the stupid Irene/Bond he/she discussion...

Irene has to play a male character. Permanently. It's the only way she can continue living her life and take part in her plans of helping the lower class and all that.

So she takes on the persona Bond. She becomes a he because that's what necessity dictates. And the only way it's believable is if everybody treats her as a man, and essentially become so accustomed to this person that they only think of Bond and not Irene. Irene is a woman and Bond is a man. Bond is a man being portrayed by a female, yes, but "Bond" is still a man.

It's like in those old Japanese plays or Shakespeare plays where men portray female characters. The characters are female, the actors are male.

This has nothing to do with LGBTQ stuff, no matter which side of that "argument" you fall on. The genesis of Bond is completely different from that of a trans person.

Review en Español and English

Buen episodio, me encanta que trajeran al personaje de ¨Jack el destripador¨ y que el original haya entrenado personalmente a los Moriarty increible. Un plan bastante efectivo ideo Bond para acabar con los delincuentes se gano su lugar en el grupo

Good episode, I love that they brought the character of "Jack the Ripper" and that the original personally trained the Moriartys, incredible. A fairly effective plan devised by Bond to eliminate criminals earned him his place in the group
