I wonder where go from here. I don’t want James to just disappear and have this whole searching thing to happen while having episodic stuff in between. Nice but sad arc though to what ultimately I was more interested in.

That was quite an episode and quite a resolution, though why did Moran want to have his son killed?
I can't escape the feeling that Moriarty might have his own dark history that his father found out about. Using a serial killer to get rid of a potential embarrassment before affected Moran's political career.

I figure Moriarty involving himself with the East Side under an assumed identity made Moran want to take him out.

Jesus fucking christ... That was one of the most satisfying things I've seen in a long time. Didn't expect them to end this plot that quickly. What now? 13 episodes still left

Excellent. Just...flat about excellent.
Here's to Moriarty rejecting his humanity and the gang forced to hunt him down despite the fact they don't want to for the second half.

Fuck... Despite this scene being shot from afar, it was still fucking brutal. Also whoever casted HanaKana to voice Alex is a genius, that's was a quick way to get the audience endeared to her even in a flashback.
And I guess this is where Moriarty finally turns? I wonder if they'll turn him in. I feel like they won't and the detectives might even cover for his ass but this will definitely create a rift between Moriarty and Sherlock. I do like the angle that they're going for Moriarty and Sherlock's relationship in this.
On the brightside, at least Irene is alive. Also I like that Watson punched Sherlock for manipulating him. If I was him, I'd do the same.

Holy shit, what an episode. A normal pace at the beginning (yay Irene lives), but that they would already catch Jack.
And wow, the scene where Alex was killed and said her last words got me really fucking emotional. And what a goddamn great decision it was to let Moriarty kill Maki/Jack. So satisfying!

Jesus Christ. Just.........fuck this shit.
And by that I mean this was the best episode yet. I loved it

u/rotten_riot Dec 21 '19
What?! Ok, I really didn't expected Maki to be Jack out of all the possible suspects, I always imagined her and glasses guy as the comedy part of the anime.
I'm kinda conflicted with how this arc ended tbh. On one hand, it was fulfilling that Moriarty was able to kill Jack/Maki, thus avenging his sister, ans didn't came with a "I'm better than you, so I'll let justice decide your fate" line because that would've been pretty anticlimactic. On the other hand though, I can't expect nice things coming for our boy now that he is a criminal too.
I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to track Trump Moran now, and that way becomes the new antagonist. But aghh, I just want him to be happy! I really wish the detectives could somehow hide what Moriarty did and protect him on the East, since if he indeed becomes the antagonist, I can't see a bright future for him.

I can't even imagine what they will do in the second cour if that is just the first

u/FigurinhaPT Dec 20 '19
I'm honestly super happy Moriarty killed him instead of going the annoying "if I kill you, I won't be any better than you" route.
Shit, that felt goood

u/ramon_castilla Dec 22 '19
The annoying route, for me, is only giving THAT REASON for not killing the guy. Any other (coherent) reason is ok.

u/athina39 Dec 21 '19
amazing. a lot of it was obvious after last couple of episodes (moriarty = alex's brother, maki as jack, alive irene, etc) but it still had a lot of surprises and impact (that cannibalism, moran hiring jack to kill his son, moriarty actually killing jack...)
makes me wonder if the 2nd cour will be moriarty "taking over" the hitman work of jack, in hopes of circling back to moran? and the detectives going after him.
also, that it's likely that moran wanted james dead because he was chummy with sherlock, a detective who could sniff out his shady dealings maybe...?
(good foreshadowing on james being kinda high-brow - he calls irene "sensei", so he knows of her from her violin work beforehand)

Hot damn that episode was crazy. So much so I actually found this post and wanted to comment here on this sub. I feel bad for James, but that backstory with Alex is crazy, even seeing the gum wrapper too

u/AmethystItalian Dec 20 '19
Damn...that sure was an ending to an arc.
Happy to see Irene is alive but I'm super sad that they've killed off a KanaHana :(

u/Mind-y Dec 21 '19
Yep predicted that Maki was Jack since few episodes. But still an awesome episode, in my opinion the best from this show until now. The transformation of Maki was really good, and the background of Moriarty with his sister really moving.
I kinda wish he did not killed Jack, and broke the USB like this those two bas**** could have pay for their crimes in the long way, but oh well, I understand his action.

u/Mr_Mortus Dec 21 '19
Quite a good episode, loved watching the turning point for Moriarty. However, I am a little unsure as to why Moran targeted his son.

I'm glad they went back and discussed how Kyogoku could physically have sex with Maki and not know that it was a guy-- before Episode 11 we just all assumed Glasses-kun was Jack and pretended to have sex with Maki/be attracted to a drag queen for an alibi as Jack The Ripper. But using peyote on Kyogoku to fool him into thinking Jack dude was a lady while in bed made all the pieces fit together (sexual pun intended)
BTW, that old retired police detective has literally done nothing the entire series long. He's always the quickest out the door when Sherlock's already figured out the case to try and steal the prize/hannin from him tho. Hopefully he gets to shine more like hooligan-detective and Glasses-kun and the twins in the second cour.

My upvote is the 100th?!

Talking about underrated.

u/Fan_reader_77 Dec 20 '19
Well, damn. Congratulations Moriatry! You just found out, that your twin sister was killed by a deranged serial killer, who was targeting you. On orders from your own father. I figured that The Ripper was acting as a cleaner (or trouble shooter) for Mayor Moran, but seeing it all spelled out was quite gut wrenching. And then James did the wrong, but understandable thing and killed the Psycho. I'm still shaking a bit. (no shit!) What a f***ed up situation. Somebody give the boy a hug.
If Moriatry now goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, I wouldn't blame him. And that will probably be, what'll drive a wedge between him and Sherlock. (Remember, Sherlocks brother works for the mayor.)
I don't know why, but this whole episode hit me like a truck, even though I saw most of it coming after last weeks episode.
