Baker Street Regular: Difference between revisions

The Baker Street Regular is a pun on the [[Trope Namer]], the Baker Street Irregulars, who were a network of orphaned street urchins that had been under the employment of Sherlock Holmes to gather rumors, gather clues, and do various odd jobs, in which he made sure to pay what was, [[Mundane Luxury|to them, an outrageous sum of money]] for their discretion and loyalty.

* Subverted in ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]''. Doll, aside from not being the eldest (though that is justified due to her elder "siblings" being [[Genre Blind]]), gives Ciel help, covers for him, and fits this trope to a T {{spoiler|before Ciel goes into an episode and orders for her death.}}

* In ''[[Detective Conan]]'', Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, the Detective Boys. They're even referred to as Baker Street Regulars in an arc.

* As the plot approaches the end of ''[[Slayers|Slayers Next]]'', one of these attempts to pickpocket the party, but eventually joins them and befriends Martina. Brilliantly subverted, as {{spoiler|he's the [[Big Bad]].}}
