![]() ![]() The Sherlock Holmes books tend to be pretty good at making mysteries that are reasonably solvable by a reader who pays close attention to the details, but that's not how book Holmes figures things out muttering a mantra to the fell gods of the Abyss, he opens his cosmic third eye and takes in knowledge, revealing unto the world in the process that he knows all and sees all*. ![]() I love Lisa, I think her relationship with Taylor was great, and I disagree with a lot of canon interpretations of her, but she was the Sherlock Holmes of Worm, which is to say that she spent about half her time being a magical exposition fairy, and the fact that she was fed this knowledge by an alien god computer doesn't change that-that is, after all, what Sherlock Holmes does, too. But it turns out he was wrong about most of what he said when you met him in Camelot, he went on to get schooled in Shinjuku, and his track record in the Lostbelts is pretty damn hit or miss.īeing fair, this seems to be because the story made the mistake League of Extraordinary Gentlemen specifically avoided by inviting Holmes on an adventure that proved to be full of mysteries, and then had to answer the question of how to reconcile those mysteries with Sherlock fucking Holmes, but the fact remains.

Click to shrink.Being fair to Lisa, Holmes' track record in FGO is really nothing to write home about-whether or not that's intentional and to what degree is still unknown, though hopefully at least somewhat just for the mystique of the character, but even characters in story mock him for it-hell, LB5.5 opens on him getting mocked for it.
