[@0axis771]

I'm glad that you pointed out that Sholmes has been screwing with us the entire time. His deductions are so outrageous, but every trial, he always makes a remark to us that becomes a prophecy, as if he already knows how the trial will go. Dude's been playing 4D chess while we mere mortals have been playing checkers.

[@Zpixi09]

Dude hast the rooks of his chess match playing Chinese checkers

Not for me I wasn't annoyed at first... First, I found him funny and unpredictable (because that's how Sherlock Holmes is in the movies and I love him) and then dumb jsjs And that never change, except the dumb thing

[@ladyholiday3863]

Everyone’s bringing up Akechi and Sholmes for detectives Crystaahhl simps for. And yet there is NO MENTION of Naoto thus far, I must rectify this immediately. She has simped for THREE detectives now. Twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.

[@Tujae_]

"Sholmes" is the most masterful troll in the entire series. Hats off to him. I thought he was dumb at first. I was even outraged that he was nothing like the book character he is based on. But then... I reached the end of the second game in this chronicle. Well played, "Sholmes". Well played.

[@mas8705]

What is it about detectives that just seems to win her over? First we have Mr. Pancakes, then the Detective Prince, and then we had Herlock winning everyone over with his goofy charm.

What I like is how when Sholmes is first introduced with all his odd tendencies to be in odd places (like on the desk or in the wardrobe in chapter 2), they are actually secret hints into the case at hand.

Everytime Sholmes appears it's a jumpscare

[@mas8705]

It really is amusing to think of how many times Herlock was able to catch her off guard. If he were like his counterpart, he might have outstayed his welcome in due time (or just been a lackluster Gumshoe), but the amount of random things he does always keeps you on your toes. One minute he is randomly in the background and jump scaring you, the next, he’s not only getting up in your face and changing his appearance.

[@mykaruest3620]

Sherlock Holmes in his original incarnation was random af and did absurd things. My favorite was the harpoon.

[@legalwaterdrinker3286]

The original Sherlock Holmes was not only a consulting detective, he was quite a theatrical person too. He constantly hid, covered up some information to then reveal it all out once in the finale. And he always did it with swagger.

[@zebrasonice4102]

I love the frustration, and the surprise every time Herlock Sholmes appears in some bizarre pose. And then the simping... it was hilarious.

[@rcrude8866]

Yooooo it's time for more Sholmes, I miss him so darn much even now. It's real interesting to see how you went from being annoyed by him to legit not being able to not think about him, the Herlock brainrot as we call it.

[@blazarre7251]

It’s always the detectives isn’t it?

[@liamwhite3522]

Crystal has a thing for detectives. I noticed she has started playing another game recently. I wonder who she's gonna fall for there.

[@majidoujaa5592]

To be fair... everyone has a thing for Sholmes

[@ladyholiday3863]

Sholmes and Akechi: both start out annoying, both end up beloved, both take VERY DIFFERENT ROADS TO THEIR “BELOVED” STATUS

You know how insanity is defined as doing something over and over and expecting different results? This is the second definition they hind from you.

my favourite Vocaloid, hologram Sholmes

[@Heroshii15]

When I started playing this, I thought it was going to be revealed that this isn't Holmes at all, but rather some chuuni who's convinced that he's the great detective.

[@ChazzzyF]

I know it could definitely be that Sholmes was always messing with us but I always interpreted it differently. I think it's more like he and Mikotoba complete each other. Sholmes has incredible skills of observation and intuition, but he's actually not particularly good at taking all of the things he's noticed and piecing them together into a concrete theory, at least not when he's at the scene. So whenever he would propose his theory, there would be aspects where he's correct, and aspects where he's wrong and needs to be guided in the right direction. However, Mikotoba is the opposite. Multiple times when the two of them were together in the last case, he would hear Sholmes make an observation and say something along the lines of "I didn't notice that! That's true!" and then help piece the theory together from there. Which is also what Naruhodo would do with Sholmes. The difference is that because Sholmes and Mikotoba have worked together for so long, they're able to bounce off of each other and complete each other's thoughts much more easily than Naruhodo can. They each know how the other works and they trust each other enough to be able to guide themselves towards the right answer. But without his other half, Sholmes lacks the guidance to be able to do it on his own. That's why his deductions from the rest of the game are so sloppy, while having enough truth in them for us to be able to solve the puzzle.

[@llSuperSnivyll]

I think there's 'tangible' proof that Sholmes was indeed messing with us. In fact, as early as the first case he appears, he initially seems to suspect Ryunosuke, makes two outlandish Dances of Deduction... and when it seems everyone's happy with agreeing it was Nikolina's cat what causes the mess, Sholmes suddenly comes with a "Did you see Kazuma's fist is clenched? What could he be holding?", and shows that he was holding Nikolina's pendant. So he knew, from even before talking with Ryunosuke, that Nikolina had a hand in the whole incident, and just felt like dragging off things.

[@sbfh014]

Detective of Foggy town and The game is afoot are two amazing themes for him, which fit perfectly with his character, which already bops with a bopalicious game, lol

[@smiIeyface]

Case 1-4 spoilers idk maybe: 3:40 Considering what he means by beasts, can we assume he's saying he's the king of Mr Garrideb's wife?

[@tinaherr3856]

Ah, you too have fallen into the GAA Sherlock Holmes/Herlock Sholmes simp train. Like Ali from Pixel Partners
