Tantei Opera Milky Holmes/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Badass Decay: Used in plot to justify the Milky Holmes' suffering. Not only do they lose their Toys from the get go they get dumber and more inept as the show moves on completely destroying whatever reputation they apparently had before.
  • Cargo Ship -- Some mix of Screw Yourself and this. Twenty is in love with a hug pillow of himself. He gets angry when Mary and Kate interrupt his "date between me and me!"
  • Evil Is Sexy -- Arsene, most strongly established in the ending. You can see how she gets her subordinates.
  • Fan Nickname -- GA-3 for Hirano, Saku, and Tsugiko, due to their voice actresses playing three of the leads in Galaxy Angel.
  • Fridge Logic: How does Milky Holmes notice Mary and Kate in their thief outfits but not Arsene and her goons?
  • Les Yay: Hercule/Nero, Sherlock/Nero, Kokoro/Sherlock, Kokoro/Irene, Cordelia/Pretty much any girl, are all pairings that have been suggested with various degrees of explicitness within the show itself.
    • Let's just say that Arsene's obsession with Sherlock drives the whole story.
  • Memetic Mutation -- By the boat full.
    • Why is Nero such a bitch?
    • Why is Elly such a slut?
    • Must put penis in Kokoro-chan
    • Twenty's nipples
    • Arsene's boing boing
    • Sherlock MOTHERFUCKING Holmes
    • DETACHABLE HATS!
    • DAME DAME DAME DAME DAME DAME
    • OHAYO OHAYO
    • Buttplug tail
  • Moe -- Who isn't? Everyone is, yes even the the Gentlemen Thieves. Until Twenty takes his shirt off that is.
  • The Scrappy -- /a/ does not like Nero or Kokoro at all due to their constant whining and poor treatment of their respective circles of friends.
    • Though now that the show is over, every Milky Holmes thread needs some Nero White Knights and exclamations of "Must put penis in Kokoro-chan".
    • Kai/Twenty fits better: His one gag is closer to Squick than is to being funny, and they like having him do it at least twice an episode. At least Nero and Kokoro are cute not to mention bad things are constantly happening to them.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not for Little Girls?
