WHY is No One Talking About Moriarty The Patriot?! - Death Note's Successor

Today at the Mystery Shack, we look at what is quickly becoming one of my favorite series and what I view as the spiritual successor to Death Note - Moriarty the Patriot. Join me as we delve into this extremely underrated show and talk about all the teeny tiny details that I enjoyed as well as discuss how this adaptation of the classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is turning out.

[@rueluxprince6982]

Really appreciate this series. Moriarty is essentially using Light Yagami's methodology (kill all bad guys, no bad guys left, world good) but with Lelouch vi Britannia's ideology (the strong and privileged have a duty to protect the poor and weak). And it's all handled beautifully. It's great.

[@thefausty5195]

No, Moriarty's plan is far better and far more mature and far more realistic then Light's Plan. Moriarty is cunning criminal mastermind while Light is just a really smart high school student with a God Complex.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but William is somewhat self aware. He admits in the manga (im not sure if this happens in the anime, since I've only now started to catch up) that he knows people are gonna need a person to blame for his & his fellow associates' crimes. He also says that he's content in being that person. On the other side, he has set up Sherlock to be the good guy, the protagonist of their play. Another way how he differs from Light. He acknowledges that he's breaking his own moral code & is ready to die, because of that. Light was egocentric & saw himself as a flawless being. Edit: William says The Lord of Crime will the the common evil that joins both sides in season two episode three

[@hiume_]

I don't know why people are sleeping on this brilliant anime series. The sheer cunning style, no unnecessary overtwisted plots to make it mysterious. Every episode made me gripped on my seat

[@strawberriestastegood]

I think the main difference between death note and mtp is the character framing. Light isn’t exactly likable, as opposed to Moriarty who the watchers can actually root for. Moriarty knows he has to die in order to achieve his ideals. Light, however, even after being told by Ryuk that if he killed all the bad people, he’d be the only bad person left, laughs it off and claims that he is above judgement because he’s « god of the new world ». Light is framed as a psychopathic killer drowning in narcissistic delusion, while Moriarty is given a backstory we can sympathize with and is shown to have a strong moral compass. A gray moral compass, indeed, but a strong one nevertheless. Whereas Light starts killing anyone who gets in his way and calls it collateral damage, Moriarty sticks to his initial views and even condemns himself. Also, Light and L are rivals down to the bone and they are NOT friends. Sherlock sees Moriarty as a friend and deems that he is worth saving; L simply wants to catch Kira and bring him to justice. By the end, Light loses and the message that his ideals were immoral is already sent to the viewer. Moriarty the Patriot delivers a more ambiguous end, in which Moriarty doesn’t really lose. He sees his plan through, including the part where he gets caught. In a twist of events, Sherlock proves he cares for him anyway and jumps down with him. Almost as a metaphorical « fall from grace » with Moriarty, because he considers him a friend. We as the viewer, are given the choice to forgive Moriarty. In death note, the criminals are not framed as the villains, nor are they framed at all; Light, however is undoubtedly evil. MTP frames the upper crust lords as arrogant and cruel and moriarty as…well, a morally gray Robin Hood. They’re similar stories and yet so different! This is all hastily written and superficial but you get the gist! I’d love to write a better thought out essay about this.

[@fonn2258]

I love how in an unjust world, Moriarty's perverse POV almost makes lot of sense, but the end doesn't justify the means here. His way of achieving the goal is always unlocking other people's dark side, or as he calls it, criminal consultant. I'm just 3 eps in. but already so hooked! Albert's character is so interesting.

[@veryshia]

Because deep down a lot of people also want someone like Moriarty to punish the people in power when we know they won't get the punishment they deserve just because theybhave "friends in high places". You can't tell me you've never been frustrated with the goverment or rich people who seemed to get away with things and sometimes you wish someone would just do something to give us justice.

[@dearmalaysia]

Yes I noticed that in the first few episodes. Moriarty actively looked for and triggered someone else's bloodlust to get the job done. It was the one thing that truly disturbed me when I started watching and it's brilliant.

You are too underrated. You deserve way more subscribers.

[@Swag1ord]

I wouldn't say it's Death Note's successor. Death Note have mind games and solution patterns that you can actually figure out by yourself with cleverness. In Moriarty the Patriot, every crime is done without a setting/useful clue(s) to let the viewer figure out the character(s) next move or how they'll be able to identify the culprit. Most situations are done in a way that you can't expect. The only aspect that could associate both shows would be that the protagonists kill people for their beliefs and someone as clever as them is trying to catch them. Both shows are good in their own way but are slightly different in terms of what is good and bad in the story, the pacing, the character(s) development, etc.

I am questioning why this series is underrated and for me this story reminded me of Code Geass, in many ways. Well made in the manga and the anime both VA and art was beautiful. And as a Sherlock fan (basic knowledge in the famous stories & personality of some of the characters) this really was the best, even the portrayal of the characters.

[@idontplayislay9439]

That's exactly what I was thinking about! It is similar to Code Geass in the sense that both Lelouch and William adopted the same approach in order to put an end to the cycle of hatred and the class system their countries have been living in for years. I find such characters to be magnificantly outstanding!

Another thing that links this anime to Death Note in the contrast of colors between the two rivals. Light and Moriarty are red and L and Sherlock are blue.

Moriarty was a smart kid, more like gifted. At first started killing because of his hatred toward the aristocrats so he did not feel anything after killing them but the gruesomeness would definitely affect a normal child. As he was mature it did not affect him too much, at least not in a noticeable way. But soon be started to feel the guilt because he wasn't a sociopath or psychopath he's normal person with normal conscience. He kept pushing because he thought as he was smart it was his responsibility to change the system, it was his purpose in life. He ignored the guilt until he started to see himself as a murderer. Not being able to voice his feelings he started feeling lonely despite being Surrounded by people. And the fact that he had to die at the end of his plan was to give all the people a common enemy and bring them closer + he thought he deserved to die since he was a murderer.

Actually, theres a new anime based off of this, and might be the canon continuation (not sure) its called Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions, and Ron Kamonohashi (the genius detective) is actually a DESCENDANT of Holmes and Moriarty meaning he has Sherlock's and Moriarty's blood, meaning the Holmes and Moriarty families actually interwined and reproduced.

the only thing I don't like about the anime version in particular, is how they cut a good amount of plot or material for characterization of the side characters like Fred and Moran. Hell, they cropped out an entire character and two entire arcs as well as probably the most wholesome sherliam interaction. the pacing was also a little rushed and they changed a little too much of the plot. overall I'm so happy it got animated. I hope for the next season they are going more precisely by the manga. but I guess it might be a little hard since the new arc is heavily inspired by a Hollywood film. I really hope that people watching the anime will also read the manga since it's really good.

He literally says he doesn’t believe one person can judge another, and he actually tries to die cuz he’s so fucking depressed.

i loved this series since the second they showed that kid reading sherlock holmes. as someone who's a massive crime and mystery stories fan, i've read and watched sherlock several times so it was kinda new to me to see this interpretation of the story but the animation throughout and especially in the intro was so good and the storyline with a hint of history in it kept me hooked and making me finish this anime in like 2 days. i also love death note and yeah i would say that william reminded me of light a lot of times, but unlike him he didn't loose track of his true goal and he didn't end up dying so i guess i liked this better than dn

Well I have looked fondly on deathnote and anime as of late. Maybe I will check this out! I'm currently slowly watching Gintama. It's a slow burn but it picks up much later. Here's some anime I've watched up to now that I recommend as the greatest anime out there! - Bleach - Deathnote itself - Full metal Alchemist: Brotherhood - HunterxHunter - Steins;Gate - Tokyo Ghoul - Code Geass - One Punch Man - Sword Art Online - Attack on Titan(gotta rewatch it) - Cowboy Bebop(yet to watch it heard its great)

As a Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty enthusiast (especially Andrew Scott's) I looooove Yuukoku no Moriarty. I'm a manga reader btw.

I found the manga when I looked through some old manga reading samples and decided to give it a try, and boy it is GOOD
