Moriarty the Patriot (Japanese: 憂国のモリアーティ, Hepburn: Yūkoku no Moriāti) is a Japanese mystery manga series with storyboards by Ryosuke Takeuchi [ja] and illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi [ja], based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. It focuses on Holmes' nemesis, William James Moriarty. It has been serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Jump Square since August 2016, with its chapters collected in 19 tankōbon volumes as of February 2023.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Production I.G aired from October 2020 to June 2021.

In March 2023, a manga adaptation of the novel adaptations by Yōsuke Saita, titled Moriarty the Patriot: The Remains, began serialization in Jump Square.

Plot[edit]

In the late 19th century, the British Empire has become a global power. Due to the strict class stratification, the average citizen has little chance of successfully rising up to the top, where the despicable nobility rules over them all.

The first son of Earl Moriarty, Albert Moriarty finds two orphans, Louis and his unnamed brother, that share a common hatred for the corrupt British nobility and adopts them as his brothers. They scheme together to kill Albert's cruel biological brother William, burn down the family estate, and start a new life together using illegal means to destroy the class system and Louis's elder brother takes William's name and identity.

While enacting an elaborate scheme to murder a noble who was hunting commoners, William encounters Sherlock Holmes, who deduces a third party was involved in the murder. This piques William's interest in Sherlock, leading him to test his abilities by framing Sherlock for murder.

Thus ensues a battle of wits between two of the greatest minds the world has ever seen as William relentlessly pursues a better world and Sherlock pursues the reason why he was chosen by the infamous Lord of Crime to play a part in his murders.

Production[edit]

Moriarty the Patriot began as a suggestion from Hikaru Miyoshi's editor to write about Sherlock Holmes after the end of Miyoshi's previous series and Ryosuke Takeuchi joined after the characters of William and Sherlock had already been created and established.[13][14] The focus of the series wound up on Professor Moriarty instead, and Takeuchi has said despite liking heroes as a child, he began to empathize with villains as he grew older.[13]

Miyoshi chose to subvert expectations of Sherlock and Professor Moriarty's personalities and create a "gentleman" criminal and a rough "detective" in order to create a story that stands out in a sea of adaptations.[14] Takeuchi commented that every adaptation has a different "flavor" of Holmes, and hoped that the reader could think of Moriarty the Patriot's version as one of the many flavors of Holmes created.[15] William and Sherlock were intentionally designed to be very similar and also contrast each other as opposites as much as possible in both physical design and behavior.[14]

After the end of the first part of the series, Takeuchi posted a message of thanks to everyone involved in the project on his Twitter account, and updated his bio to indicate his involvement in the series was limited to the first part.[16]

It is revealed Albert had routinely visited Louis and fake William's orphanage to provide charity and when Albert's father was manipulated into adopting an orphan as an act of charity, Albert considered having fake William adopted due to his intellect, especially after learning fake William had already begun advising people how to strike back against abusive nobles and get away with it. After finding out that the real William had deliberately injured a maid, he went to fake William, who explained he planned to eventually overthrow the old class system and replace it with a society that values every citizen equally.

A commoner is chased down by a hunter and his dogs before being shot. The ocean liner Noahtic begins its maiden voyage and Count Blitz Enders, an openly arrogant noble, heavily criticizes that commoners are allowed aboard. Days previously, William shared his plan to slowly remake society by plunging London into an era of crime, all while committing murders designed to educate commoners in exactly how the nobility have been abusing them, starting with Blitz. Onboard, Sebastien pays Thomas Michaelson, a rapist and murderer, to provoke Blitz, hoping Blitz will overreact against Thomas, reasoning that the death of a man like Thomas can be put to good use. Fred further enrages Blitz by delivering a telegram claiming his home burned down and one of his coal mines closed after an industrial accident. William meets a man who instantly deduces William is a mathematician, so William responds by deducing the man's hobbies, amusing the man who leaves without introducing himself. Blitz, revealed to be the hunter who hunts commoners for fun, lures Thomas to his cabin and murders him. With his plan a success, William enters Blitz's cabin, pretending to catch Blitz in the act.

Together they throw Thomas into the sea, though Fred and Sebastien secretly retrieve the body. The next night, during an onboard ballet, William approaches Blitz and reveals that Thomas is somehow alive.

Deciding to make sure he is dead, Blitz begins stabbing the body. When he is publicly revealed as a murderer, Blitz is disarmed by the man William met earlier, who immediately deduces something strange about Thomas' corpse. Blitz climbs the ship's mast to escape, but Sebastien shoots at him with a silenced rifle, causing him to fall to his death. William influences Parliament to investigate Blitz's hunting grounds so that when his victims' bodies are discovered, there will be public outrage among the commoners.

Holmes gets in trouble with his landlady Mrs. Hudson for not paying his rent. Holmes' friend, Dr. Stamford, suggests Holmes get a flatmate and sends Dr. John Watson, whom Holmes deduces is a retired army doctor. Mrs. Hudson is impressed enough to allow Watson to become Holmes' flatmate. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard arrives and arrests Holmes for suspicion of murdering Count Drebber who had written Holmes name in his own blood before he died. Assistant Inspector Gregson, who despises Holmes, collects evidence despite Holmes pointing out that it could easily be faked. Lestrade decides to trust Holmes and takes him and Watson to the crime scene where Holmes secretly steals a piece of evidence, then with Watson's assistance, proves Drebber would have died too quickly to write his name and that the name was clearly written by a very large man unskilled at shooting guns, probably being controlled by an intelligent mastermind. Holmes immediately recognizes the handiwork of the mastermind behind the Noahtic. Excited at the prospect of a real challenge, Holmes secretly passes a note to Watson. Elsewhere, it is revealed William orchestrated Drebber's murder, having helped a man dying of a terminal illness get revenge in exchange for leaving evidence that would test Holmes' deductive abilities.

Fred claims the ring then escapes before Holmes can catch him. Holmes reveals to Watson inside a hansom cab he solved Drebber's murder. Drebber was suspected of raping lower class women then bribing them. One woman, Lucy, refused and was murdered; meaning Drebber's murderer was Lucy's husband, a large man named Jefferson Hope, the driver of the hansom cab. Holmes explains he has a network of homeless children, the Baker Street Irregulars, who located Jefferson based on Holmes' description of his large body. Jefferson reveals his illness will kill him soon anyway and offers Holmes a deal: if Holmes shoots him, a nearby Fred will reveal their master's identity.

When Lestrade mentions that the Viscount of Redshire died on a lakefront in York, Holmes, Watson, and Lestrade go there to investigate. Following the investigation, Holmes and Watson have an argument. In the dining car, Holmes spots William and Louis. When he approaches them, he claims that he has figured out that William is the mastermind behind the aristocrat murders. While Louis is worried that Holmes knows the truth, William calls Holmes' bluff, stating that he would have to prove it. Later, as Lestrade introduces himself to the Moriarty brothers, they are informed there is a dead body. After Holmes proposes a contest to William to see who can solve the case first, Watson shows up while covered in blood.

Railway police arrest Watson despite his protest the blood came from a man he bumped into near the toilets. Holmes and William determine the victim, Trevor Redwood, is a jeweler who was inadvertently killed when he woke up in the middle of a robbery after being drugged. With Holmes following the physical evidence, William constructs a psychological profile of the killer. Following their methods, they both determine the killer is a porter who is unable to dispose of his bloody uniform. Holmes discovers blood on porter Eddie Hawthorn, but Hawthorn claims the blood is his own from an earlier accident. William identifies additional blood evidence Holmes missed, which causes Hawthorn to confess. William reveals to Louis he planted the extra evidence, reasoning that while Holmes would have eventually found Hawthorn guilty, his illegal methods got results much faster. With Holmes defeated by William, he reluctantly asks for Watson's continued assistance in solving his cases. Meanwhile, Holmes' brother, Mycroft, meets a young Queen Victoria about missing documents relating to one of Britain's greatest national secrets and is given royal permission to do whatever is necessary to retrieve them.

Albert agrees and gives Holmes an envelope with the name James Moriaty inside as an insurance policy if Holmes ever suspects Adler is dead. Albert takes Adler to William where she realizes the Lord of Crime is an organization. Mycroft meets with Albert, who admits he is fascinated that Maximilien Robespierre was secretly a British agent.

Jack the Ripper begins murdering prostitutes in Whitechapel. Moran refuses to accept Bonde's male identity until he proves useful. William sends them to access a safe deposit box, just as thieves begin robbing the bank. When Bonde hesitates, Moran points out Bonde's lack of initiative and demands Bonde quickly concoct a plan to escape with the box and deal with the thieves without drawing the attention of Holmes. Bonde neutralizes the thieves and sets up a policeman as the hero. Returning home, they find an old man, Jack Renfield, the British army's most skilled close quarters assassin who taught both Moran and the Moriarty brothers how to fight and kill. Codenamed Jack the Ripper, he retrieves his knives from the deposit box and reveals the Whitechapel serial killer has stolen his codename and asks William to help stop the killer and take back his codename. Whitechapel becomes a warzone between the residents, who formed a Vigilance Committee to hunt the killer, and the police, who are more interested in disbanding the committee than catching the killer. William deduces that, far from being a lone psychotic killer, they are probably dealing with a group of killers with a specific goal.
