| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Bonde is pretty clever but at the same time, he is very bold to take on a mission dealing with a bank. He got pretty clever in dealing with those who stood in his way though. The police feels useless in this series. When it comes to cases like this, it feels like only their family can take care of this type of business. |

| im still waiting for my usual website to upload the episode T-T ill be back here when its up though!!! |
| So the bank robbery has just been triggered by William for them to accept Bonde, well it worked fine. Now there is the real Jack the Ripper, the other one seems to be a fake one who's using his name. That final scene with William was totally epic, I can't wait for them to destroy that fake Jack the Ripper |
 |
| Bonde is a man now. Well, he is but isn't. LMAO. She/He wants to be accepted by everyone in the new team or that everyone else can have faith in her/him. She did prove herself by taking down all those hostages and then giving all the credit to the guard there. We also got to meet Jack The Ripper in this episode. And he's the master of all three Moriarty Brothers. Things are getting pretty hasty in the town. |
 |
| To be honest I felt the way Iren...sorry Bonde, handled the bank robbers was a bit too much. I would have preferred the solution was carried out with more finesse and less "action" |

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 |
| The Phantom of Whitechapel: Another dark chapter with Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel. Irene has adjusted herself good as James Bonde with the appearance of a man in a woman's body, with Moran being the only exception. With a mission as the Moriarty Brothers feat. Fred and James to intercept a fixed bank robbery and retrieve a vaulted item (that belongs to Jack the Ripper), a test for Moran to assess Irene's capabilites and see what she does best, and sticking to her mould only fits the bill. That's William James Moriarty for you to set the scene well. Jack Renfield a.k.a Jack the Ripper has entered the scene, and the fake serial killer adopted his name, time to set apart the phoney one from the real one and clear his name. Interesting that Jack's family the Rockwells took the Moriarty Brothers in after the mansion fire and taught them the art of killing. How incompetent the Scotish Yard is: protecting jobs instead of people, no wonder the people can act as vigilantes. Time to show them the real devils: the Moriarty Brothers, thanks to Lestrade's insider info. |
 |
| Bonde isn't bad at this sort of stuff, she was a nice help. |
 |
| I think Bonde did a good job handling that bank robbery. She was caught off guard at first but quickly came up with a plan to deal with it. Idk what kind of diabolical plan William has up his sleeve for dealing with these fake Jack the Rippers but you already know it's gonna be good. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Great episode again. Bonde fitting in, I kinda expected that William may have staged the robbery because they seemed awfully lenient with the Yard officer that was in the bank. It was cool how they handled it. Interesting, so the Moriarty brothers were taught their combat skills by Jack the Ripper. Very curious how William is going to deal with all the fake Jack the Rippers, it's not gonna be pleasant. |
 |
| I was really digging Moran's hairstyle this ep ^^ |
| Build up episode focused on Bond. I'm glad Moriarty set up event so that she could get closer to everyone else on the group. The new case is about Jack the ripper, this'll be good. |
 |
btamamura said: 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. 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 |

| ngl it feels like it's been awhile since we had an arc focus solely on the moriarty gang, and it looks like at least for now that seems to be the case but it is nice to see Irene is gonna be a more reoccurring character rather than one that is only relevant for their specific arc and then yeets off in the distance |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| On to Jack the Ripper. I’m sure Moriaty and Sherlock will end up crossing paths as they attempt to solve the case. I didn’t expect Irene, now James Bond (still ridiculous), to have such a prominent role as one of Moriaty’s lackies. |
| The typical bathroom debate is looking different these days... The kabedon too... Anyways, the whole bank bit, though a tad boring and too over the top, at least served the purpose of making Moran trust James Bonde - I still giggle at that name - more, then it made Moran respecc Bonde. Still, it's great that the focus is back, even if for a while, on the Moriarty team, I honestly prefer their POVs a lot over Sherlock's. |

| Bonde is already fully accepted as a member of the team and even wants to share a changing room with the guys lol. Great quick thinking from Bonde in the safe deposit box room too. Already making a valuable addition to the team. Then the issue of the fake Jack the rippers vs the real one who trained the Moriarty brothers . This arc is set up to be very interesting. So far I’m liking it better than s1 |
 |
| And now Jack the Ripper is here. James Bond and Jack the Ripper in addition to the already-present Sherlock Holmes cast... Suddenly this series is introducing all of the popular British pop culture icons from the 19th and 20th centuries. |
| Bonde seems to have a lot of catching up to do I loved how he handled the bank robbery tho. Also glad we are back to the Moriarty team since the last arc was more 'sherlock focused' lol |
| Bonde showed in various ways that he has no trouble at all to adapt. And William as always one step ahead. The fact that the real Jack was their sensei came as a surprise, tho. Btw If I want to pick up the manga, should I do it from the beginning. Were chapters or scenes skipped? Or just rearranged? @Judevin Thanks |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Another great Moriarty episode. I like how literally major reference in British crime from the 19th-20th century is present in this anime. Bonde is kicking ass, also getting all the ladies, goddamn. I feel like Lestrade will get Sherlock involved and Moriarty and Sherlock will cross paths again in this story. Which I mean not exactly unexpected. I wonder if they'll use Bonde to dress up as a female to act as bait for Jack the Ripper. FMmatron said: They've been rearranged quite a bit, and some parts have been skipped so far.If I want to pick up the manga, should I do it from the beginning. Were chapters or scenes skipped? Or just rearranged? I would recommend reading from beginning. |
 |
| Soon as the episode started I was like "ah now we're going to be getting Jack the Ripper". Yep. No complaints though. Just thought it was funny I instantly predicted it in like 30 seconds. |
 |
| Decent action, but am I the only one who think season 1 is more preferrable because so far not so much epic mystery involved on this season? Not to say it's bad but I felt the thrill of the mystery isn't there anymore. |
 |
| Love that we might get an arc more focused around the moriarty gang. Should be a lot of fun. |
| Everyone keeps arguing over whether Irene/Bond is a woman or a man while I'm sitting here like... have y'all considered that maybe they're non-binary? I don't like the idea of calling the character a trans man when Irene never expressed any issue towards her identity as a cis woman, which she made full use of when it would benefit her, not to mention that a trans man isn't born overnight. That being said, Irene Adler is dead, so we SHOULD be referring to Bond as he/him, since he seems to have assumed this identity permanently. Also, in this very episode Bond says "If I can do as I'd like to, then that's just what I'll do. I never was one... to fit into any one mould," which could be applied to his identity - he never cared about gender, he just chose whatever would serve him better depending on the situation. Irene/Bond said non-binary rights! But of course, this is just my own interpretation. Edit: I forgot to mention, but I also dislike the argument that "Bond is a trans man because he could have assumed another woman's identity, but he still chose to be a man". Guys, this is 19th century Britain. There's only so much women can do in a society where sexism was a lot more rampant than it is today. For their purposes, being a man makes Bond life a lot easier. That could've been why Irene often disguised herself as man, too. |

Agreed I don't understand why people keep using she when Bond clearly said he wants to be referred/treated as a man even in private with the people who are aware he used to be women. What I've seen from the manga readers he going to keep his Bond Identity and probably won't go back to Irene but it's best we just ignore these ignorant people because their is no convincing them otherwise. |
| This episode made me realize that I don't care about Moriarty group, I just want to know Sherlock next step. |
 |
| They had to make the hottest woman in the series into a fucking lgbt character. fuck! |
| --AbiSa-- |
| first James Bonde and now Jack The Ripper!? how NOT surprised I am! such greatness to hear the VA of Askeladd! 5/5. |
 |
| LOL I had already forgotten that Sherlock wasn't the protagonist here. Irene makes a really handsome guy. Too bad she's a woman. I want to head canon her as a trans man, and keep being attracted to her. Now they also have Jack the Ripper? haha Plus, he's Moriarty's teacher and talks like a mentor from a super-power shounen anime! When the thieves were stripped, it seemed like they were wearing boxer shorts, which shouldn't have been invented yet. |

That could've been why Irene often disguised herself as man, too. This is the right take. I don't think any of these modern day identities are applicable to the time period. Irene being the amazing actor she is, is simply playing the part to the best of her abilities. She doesn't want her being a woman to have an affect on her relationship with the others. She wants to be seen as an equal. I really hope this kind of discussion will only be happening this week, it's irritating seeing this kind of arguing in episode discussions. On another note, when she took the name "Bond" last week I laughed out loud, but this week I can't help but cringe every time I hear the name. I wish we could have seen some of the training they did with the real Jack the Ripper, but I'm really excited to see how they deal with the fake Jack the Ripper. |
| What an exciting episoide, cant wait for the next one especially when James Moriarty said "we'll show them who the real devil in this town is" |
 |
| is sherlock gonna partake in this arc? |
 |
| So, after the James Bonde, its Jack the Ripper, eh? Its not just that, the old man also served as their master of combat. Thats explain how Louis got all of the confident after having such a rough childhood, thus same with William and Albert too. Okay, then! The whole James Bonde bonding time with the William front liner team also fine to let everything ready to the next step. What a straight way to stabillize the new character of James Bonde. Still, the whole situations with the shadow of the whitechapel thing really find no clue on my mind. Full of shadows. Whats the exact shit of deal goin on there? Ofc William will be more brilliant to scoped things out faster than the thunder. So, lets see his next plan after that! |

| Great episode! It's been a while since we had an arc focused on the Moriarty's but this time they have a new member, James Bonde. It's really cool to see Bonde adapting to how the Moriarty's do things. That was a solid ass plan, letting that noob cop take the glory. They didn't flat out confirm it, but that was definitely just Moriarty trying to test them or specifically Bonde. Jack the Ripper huh, this is a pretty interesting take on Jack the Ripper. Him being the one to teach everything the Moriarty's need to know about fighting. And then having the serial killers just be imposters. Let's see Moriarty's big brain go to work once again. Looking forward to the next episode. Also, weirdly wholesome how Moriarty just straight naps after exerting his brain lmao. |

I'm personally more of a believer of the last one, the "disguised as man to be a better asset" but I could see it working out as a "Irene was non-binary but Victorian England didn't really have that as a thing yet" kind of deal. |
| I am just wondering how Irene/Bonde is managing to hide her... assets that well lol. 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. |

Or, like the Japanese do with the wrap around their chest. |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| Sheesh.. the western sjws are back at it again using irl logic on fictional characters.. bringing anime to the west was a mistake.. . anyways.. the girl knows how to kick some ass! she sure went violet evergarden.. also.. finally! the anime is back to the OG real gang! the blonde haired red eyed gang! |
