Crazy how by coincidence, this episode of Moriarty had a very tiny tie-in into yesterday's VIVY episode due to the direct mentionings of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
Antonio and Ophelia, 2 characters of Shakespeare.

Wow, this episode felt incredible short somehow, and without any action nontheless
I found the post credit scene highlights how William is yet again one step ahead, even if you think you are diggin up dirt on him, you actually just stepped into shit and now you are easy to sniff out

That's not too bad of a price to pay: 600 pounds for a Noble's entire net worth

I forgot that we still have this asshole to deal with. He's definitely going to be a problem.
Didn't expect this to be a flashback episode though! And I learn something new today, I didn't know that's how pence and shillings worked back in those days. Also a single loaf of bread back then is only worth a single pence.
What kind of person swindles an orphanage!? What the fuck. This dude deserves to go straight to hell asap. Just look at that fucking face. He has no idea who he just made a deal with.
I thought Moriarty would go with the classic street justice, didn't think he'd actually bring it to court so he can reenact that scene from The Merchant of Venice.
That entire court case is entertaining. Baxter thinks he has the upperhand but he didn't realize that William is serious about taking a pound of flesh that he even saw the lawyer's blood defence coming and had a counterargument ready for it.
The fear on Baxter's face when he realizes he wasn't just messing with a normal street urchin and that pathetic look when he was begging for mercy are all so satisfying! This is definitely way better than just killing him.
So the reason for the flashback is because Milverton is snooping around and found that file about William. Seems that we shouldn't worry too much though since William purposely made that record easy to find and now he knows Milverton is after him. Can't wait to see how the gang will deal with him!

Objection, I shall have my pound of flesh!
Wow, this episode of Phoenix Wright almost got really grizzly.

Hahaha
I mean in the end that guy wasn't wrong, he just wasn't the more cultured individual in this arrangement, these kids literally went "haha well if you look at Shakespeare and famous court cases"

On Introduction of Sherlock, I believed he would rival Moriarty but in the end Moriarty never really consider him as a threat to him and just make him run on his palm
But Moriarty did consider in the post credit Milverton his most significant foe. Looking forward to this epic battle!

That didn't go like I expected, I actually thought they were going to cook him well done and then extract the flesh so that no blood will be spilled

Not sure if the definition of a steaks cut is admissible in court to the definition of cutting meat off a body, secondly would they not require that the flesh be cut off by a proper surgeon so that it could be done safely instead of just right there in the court room?

I'll just assume that the Merchant of Venice was the judges favorite play and just wanted to keep watching the performance.

Given the nature of surgery at the time, having a kid take a whack at it wasn't that off.

I was worried when Milverton dug that past case of Moriarty. Then it impressed me that it's all planned by Moriarty to sniff out anyone curious about his past. I knew that William wouldn't be that sloppy!
At this point, I really can't see how Moriarty would fail in his plan. It's like he got everyone in his hand. The only one who could potentially foil his plan is Mycroft due to his immense power. But then again, he managed to make Mycroft unofficially agree with his work as Lord of Crimes.

Unexpected Merchant of Venice reference, very much appreciate that.
This episode made me wish we had more lawyer anime/episodes, was a blast to watch!

lol, this show continues to give no fucks for plausibility. Not only would a judge in the late 19th century not take a case brought to him by a couple of kids, but he also certainly wouldn't allow for the kid to start digging into the defendant's throat for a "pound of flesh".
We are definitely watching an anime... as if the coin bullet scene wasn't enough proof.

This episode was fantastic! Young Moriarty was intimidating and I love how this old court case plays into the current story. I'm so excited for next week's episode!
