You know it’s incredibly funny how holmes was originally the one to call Romani sus and then it turns out Romani was trying to help all along but just hiding facts, then this time Goetia tried to tell us there was a “traitor” yet that traitor (Holmes) ended up sacrificing himself just so he won’t hurt us in the future.

​@@neogokiMK00I guess that's because of the absorption Old Moriarty did back in Shinjuku, they had a "bond" in a way thanks to that

[@hironegatoshi6038]

He intentionally kept himself from the truth so that he could stay with Chaldea, his loved ones, because the realization of his true role would have made him turn against them. He was protecting Chaldea and himself from himself. However, I doubt this is the end for the greatest detective of all time. If servants are based off their life stories and legends, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle planned to kill both Sherlock and Moriarty off in the "The Final Problem". However, he later revived Holmes, (despite Watson's assumption) and brought back the killed off Moriarty, but in the "past". (A.k.a events before the battle at Reichenbach.)

If his sleeping memories had awoken under other circumstances he would have betrayed us in the exact same manner, or at least that's how he said it here.

But certainly the concept of self sacrifice is beyond it understanding.

[@jacksimpson8529]

In fairness, Holmes finding out would have obligated him to serve her, since she's his true Master. That's why his memories were sealed off. The only reason her plan was screwed is because the Foreign World sent Young Moriarty to LB 6.5 SPECIFICALLY to take Holmes out to screw with the Foreign God's plan.

[@MrDibara]

Well, if its/her introduction is anything to go by, the Alien God is an absolute NOOB in judging a lot of things. Not that it doesn't make sense, though, in the case it/she really IS an *alien* creature. Literally _EVERYTHING_ about Earth would be new to it/her. And remember, the Alien God is NOT necessarily Beast VII, more like it has fused with its Spirit Origin in order to manifest, just like it has with Olga Marie's body. _(still fucking _*_pissed_*_ at how it/she insulted Olga Marie's body during Olympus)_

@@PhantomCard it seems instead of being fused with Der Freischütz this incarnation is fused with the three Norns that spin fate and life. Originally James and Sherlock fought themselves off the waterfall to there deaths but holmes essentially had his death reconned so that moritay was the only one to die. In this instance holmes should had the advantage but but since he has the power to alter fate he used that to win. Which was a big mistake on his part because the moment holmes went over the waterfall was the moment moritay’s story also “ended”, conceptually losing the ability to alter fate. A big “won the fight lost the war” moment since his other objective was defeated Chaldea which he forgot about in that moment

He willingly choose his death because to defeat Moriarty, he also need to die, just like how they both fell to their death in Reichenbach Falls.

[@darkartist9936]

So its safe to assume that Young Moriarty was never actually against us and that he made a grave error regarding Holmes. Considering that Holmes never died at Reichenbach Falls in his stories, its very likely that he didn't die here. For all we know, he could be playing the longest con. You would never doubt the detective; reason why Old Moriarty told his younger self he fucked up. Of course we would believe our long time ally who helped us all the way to this way would make a selfless sacrifice. We haven't seen the last of Holmes and Moriarty knows this.

[@WildArtistsl]

Moriarty was an apostle for the alien world that wanted to kill Uolga so yeah

[@nebunezz_r]

Young Moriarty is against us, because he wanted to take over Chaldea for himself to defeat alien god without regard for earth because he is an Apostle to the alien world, Holmes foiled the plan by stripping Moriarty off from his Composite god power (fateweaver) through realising the fate of Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty, that is to false a Tie in Reichenbach Falls.

[@aprianhamdan1795]

On my side, i was thinking that "fucked up" might connect to the lore. Moriarty's journey actually ended when both goes to the Fall, when Holmes faked his death, reason why Old Moriarty never take Holmes down this whole time is because he knows when Holmes reaches "his demise" it also means that Moriarty also carry the same fate, thus ending their story. When Young Morty killed Holmes and let Holmes actually died, that means the concept of "Sherlock Holmes" journey was also stopping at that very moment, leaving Young Moriarty a different path to walk which may result Old Morty to never exist. Think like this, Moriarty's true goal after the whole concept story is to beat Holmes, and that concept story set the final moment in a very specific chapter, Reichenbach Waterfall, that also build Moriarty's personality to that Old Morty we know. Finishing it sooner might create the butterfly effect that Young Morty will never meet his known character as "James Moriarty" from Doyle's work, leaving Moriarty's character a hole that is supposed to be filled by his only Rival through out the story. It affects Young Moriarty narration for lacks of enemy figure, thus end him as not the same Moriarty as the old one. Old Morty said Young Morty is fucked up is because he made a conceptual mistake of actually letting a probability to cease his own existence as the infamous "James Moriarty" (because eventho it's only a few book/chapter, maybe like only 2 or 3 that talked abt Moriarty in Doyle's novel, all of them even the implicit offscreen detail were heavily affected by Holmes's movement and thoughts, it proves along with the original intention of Moriarty character that he's really made to be the Holmes power rival)

Huh? No, Holmes was rude in the novels and doesn't like his intelligence questioned by the dimwits of Scotland Yard but he is sensitive to human emotions and a lot of times he shows emotions too. He's not robot detective, he's simply logical enough not to stray from the truth of mysteries.

[@derekferreira7292]

I might be wrong, but the reason that most Sherlock are "him before compassion" is that his later stories aren't yet in the public domain, Doyle's Estate still has control of those (At least until next year) The character himself is in the public domain but those characteristics aren't, so other people can't use "post-compassion Holmes" without paying royalties to Doyle's Estate

So crackpot theory based on some other things I've read in the comments. What if yes holmes dies here, but the first apostle of the alien god DOESNT. Theres been theories both joking and serious about how holmes outfit is close to that of the foreigner card. Also during the fall his hair is showing to be more blue (this could be just the art however. Lastly as told in the stories of Riechenbach falls holmes doesn't actually die here. So what if this was his way to let this persona go dying while we harbored no anger towards him, knowing it will just be brought back by the AG possibly ending up as a foreigner version of himself. Leading to the final battle where we will actually have to kill him.

[@TheGamefreak346]

Expanding on your crackpot theory: What if Holmes doing this essentially allows the two halves to separate and operate independently. Holmes goes over the falls while breaking his self-imposed memory seal to bring his other half forward, "killing" both himself and whatever entity the Foreign God fused him with (likely a Foreigner of some sort). Foreign God revives the Foreigner half to fulfill its intended role (I feel like they wouldn't have censored it if his role was already fulfilled, hence needing to revive it in the first place), keeping the original half "dead" to avoid further setbacks (or maybe it just revives itself w/o the Foreign God's aid, could also work that way); meanwhile, after some time passes, Sherlock himself revives and returns to fight his other half, now free of the Foreign God's influence. Leading to the final battle: a Sherlock mirror match, Foreigner vs. Ruler, traitor to Chaldea vs. traitor to the Foreign God.

Hm...if it's the job that need the Unveiler, my best guess is that Holmes's job from the Alien God is to reveal the inner-working of Chaldea itself, exposing Marisbury's darkest secret, and weakening Chaldea from the inside, while also taking control back the sphere which house the true body of the Alien God we were fighting. We end up knowing naught of Marisbury's secret, and haven't taken back the sphere, so it's sure that the Alien God plan is foiled again

Holmes did nothing wrong

[@morgan236]

Lb6 was the way it was because characters made mistakes, but yet doing what they felt was right. Cen wasn't a cruel god, had he been a cruel god and punished the fairies none of what happened wouldn't have happened. As for Holmes did nothing, I do agree lol

[@DeltafangEX]

@this city is really a city Might want to replay Babylonia. quetz wasn't killing and ressurecting out of malice but because she was attempting th help but couldn't do so directly due to the three godedess alliance. Eresh actually sided with humans because of her growing feelings for ritsuka. jealousy with Ishtar had nothing to do with it. Zeus lostbelt was him wanting to create a memorial for the humans. And that is Lostbelt Zeus. PHH Zeus and Odin been helping us through oput the game. PHH Zeus actually was happy to give up the world for humans when they've proven they didn't need gods anymore.

I feel like Lb7 is gearing up to be a great finale, where Ms. data lost comes back, galahad shows up, and holmes comes back. I feel like holmes dying is somewhat a chekhov's gun where they needed to kill holmes so he can do some off-screen shenanigans and bring new and old allies back to chaldea.

We all know how reichenbach falls incident went, right? I felt that we will fight 'Holmes' on LB 7 as his role is still censored. It could be holmes died but only holmes aspect that died, making other part of him finally break free from Holmes control. Thus making servant 'Sherlock Holmes' obey the alien god.

[@emperorskulls]

Till we meet again Sherlock Holmes...hopefully before the 22nd century.

[@reisawatariX3]

So are you a traitor Holmes? Well, yes but not really. It depends actually. First, what is betrayal? Is it the act? Or is it the intention?

[@sirmaximilliam153]

His betrayal began moment he sealed his memories, Holmes did *felt* that he was genuinely good but all his actions where part of the Alien god big scheme of things. The moment he was fighting against Goetia's plan he was also working (unknowingly) for the Alien God, this would continue until the final battle against the Beast VII and you can guess what could've happened if he backstabbed Chaldea in a moment like that

[@hapyjoy82]

[@exudeku]

So Mori Caster's np is just Inflation? Goddamnit he's the reason why we're fucked IRL!

[@justwhy529]

I rly like the way the story is developing, servants actually dying is one of the best things the later chapters are doing, solomon dying was rly good too. For me it makes no sense for them to appear again, the thing is when they sacrifice themselves it should be forever, it makes the scene more powerful and what comes next more interesting. Seeing solomon again after he said his entire existence was erased is kinda weird and unfitting. Seeing Goetia on the other hand is a good way to get this characters again and be a part of the story, without ruining the whole idea that solomon is gone.

[@hmmmooops]

Holmes will be back, he just vented

[@Mariner797]

Oh. That explains why Holmes seemed to just "suddenly" show up at the start of the lost belt story line.

And thus, dozens of theories were proven false and double that amount of hearts cracked a bit... not a traitor after all. Whether or not this is the end of Sherlock Holmes, however, will have to be proved... on another day.

[@thefool8224]

i had suspicions the traitor was holmes, but was never convinced since the best chance he had to betray chaldea was during anastasia taking over chaldea. but maybe his role wasnt to betray chaldea in the end

[@FrauZehel]

He actually pulled a Moriarty. Erased some of his memories. So during that time he has no reason to beteay chaldea.

[@typemoon7748]

Lmao, it was FGO that taught me that Sherlock Holmes didn't even know the Earth was round. According to the books, his knowledge of astronomy is next to nothing. Sherlock isn't all knowing -- he chooses to only learn useful information and completely neglects topics he doesn't deem useful. Seeing him musing about celestial bodies and the cosmos seems dreadfully out of character.

[@rafaeldonascimento3526]

I read that part on the books it was quite the interesting coversation, general knowledge vs knowledge you actually needs/use, he argues that one should know things that one uses/needs, that other types of knowledges one could use encyclopedias from time to time when needed.

[@WildArtistsl]

It means the other half of him his deity was in elegance with the Alien god. That god part was basically making him know these things

[@LadCarmichael]

I don't understand, if Holmes sealed away his memory of being summoned by the Alien God, didn't he always fight for Chaldea? Then how could he be the traitor? This feels like a red herring to me...

[@ReCursedy]

Because of role he has been designated for. He understood that if he was by Chaldea at a time of final showdown he would've unwillingly fight them. And that will do more damage then if off himself... or pretend to. He was summoned by Alien God so command spells and some godly athority, you know

[@crazydude21000]

Think of it as being a double agent without knowing you were one in the first place. Being true while fighting for one side without knowing but remembering would make you reveal that the other side is what you must fight for in the first place. If that makes any sense to you

[@KickBAc3]

@@crazydude21000 I think the term you're looking for is Sleeper Agent.

[@totozhu4543]

Two reasons, One, erasing his memories allowed to essentially infiltrate Chaldea without them knowing if he was an ally or enemy, and eventually bond with them whole heartedly. Second, if he does recall, he will most definitely side with he alien god. So he was indeed a traitor, but one who was constantly fighting his own destiny.
