The main problem with the Phantom Blood arc, or at least this chunk of it, is that Hirohiko Araki really doesn't know how to write non-Japanese people, especially ones from before the 20th century - but he knows how to draw pre-20th century England. It's like if you had someone write a story set in the same time period as Downton Abbey, and for research had them watch Downton Abbey - except with all the dialog replaced with the trombones from the Charlie Brown cartoons.

I can't say if that's better or worse than Mad Bull 34's “American Law Enforcement Through The Lens Of Someone Whose Only Knowledge of America And Americans Is Bad Knockoffs Of The Dirty Harry Films.”
