SPOILER Answer:


 * Is Dantes always Sherlock all this time?

Its right but not at same time.

In Shinjuku, Dantes is having collaboration with Sherlock being his informant regarding condition in Shinjuku; suspecting Moriarty involvement he make sure collaboration with Dantes unseen by anyone by doing exactly same thing like all Shinjuku servants do: fuse with other servant.

In Sherlock case, he's fusing with Dantes.

Thanks to both knowledge (skill), both doesn't transform into new Servant (like Hessian) or one of them became a part/skill of another Servant (like how Moriarty got his coffin gun or Yan Qing able to shapeshift), simply allowing undetected transformation. Shinjuku PV foreshadowing this by having Sherlock stand behind Dantes before scene change to Moriarty.


 * We have two Moriarty?!

In this chapter, to defeat Sherlock, Moriarty made wish to Grail to 'remove his evil side'.

Grail, being Demon Pillar incarnate, took his removed evil side as its physical form, resulting on second Moriarty, evil ones. Of course, this is also a part Moriarty plan.

His plan is, using his good side, he can approach Ritsuka/Gudako and Sherlock without being suspected-- claiming that he's also confused by situation of Shinjuku and look forward to solve it; later, gain their trust by solving problem on Shinjuku together, with inevitable result bring them to where Demon God Baal, the second Moriarty, waiting to finish them together; Baal itself wish to eradicate Ritsuka/Gudako once and for all after what happened to Goetia.
