Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes (Part 1)

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! We're back with more Lupin, as Leblanc takes us even further into the world of copyright dodging with several tales of the thief's encounter with the great detective... Herlock Sholmes! We chat a bit more about the name change, the somewhat mean take on Watson/Wilson, and how much this collection of stories influenced Shu Takumi! And of course, we also get wildly off-course with our usual diversions. It's really fascinating to see how much this story resembles Ace Attorney-style writing, so join us for an especially fun episode of UAR!

NEXT TIME: Parts 5 through 8 of Maurice Leblanc's "Arsène Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes"
