Yet another very close and evenly matched fight, as two combatants of near superhuman agility, speed and reflexes battle it out to see who gets to advance to Round 2. Thus far Jackie Chan has the lead over Tarzan, but with days left to go, its still anybodys fight.

So without further adieu, allow me to present your next battle in the TV Cartoon Tournament Of Champions:


SHERLOCK HOLMES (SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE 22nd CENTURY)


VS.


LEONARDO (TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES)


As always, same rules apply, no time to prepare, POOFed from where ever they were, with only what they routinely carry on them AND/OR routinely used in their shows, to fight in a Large area til one stands and one falls. YOU decide Who.

Randomly Chosen Area:


Army Training Base - Situated in the deserts of the South-West, this facility contains all manner of terrain to shape the fighting forces of tomorrow, or would be dictators. Rough barracks and communication facilities sit inside the main compound, which is surrounded by all sorts of climbing obstacles, barbed wire, and mud pits. Several clumps of rude concrete buildings serve to train for more urban environments.
(Inspired by: GI Joe and others)

Sherlock Holmes vs. Leonardo: ??????

Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) - In Splinter's absense, Leo is the leader of the Turtles, a real 'take charge' kind of guy. He is clever, a fast thinker and an excellent strategist, but his best attribute, perfectionism, also happens to be his worst because he always strives to do everything to perfection. He sees it as an embarrassment if he fails. He also feels the loss of face when the other turtles do something wrong, because he feels responsible for them and their actions. Though Splinter has taught him that it is honourable to fail if one tries his best, Leo can't accept his own short-comings. Despite the lack of self-confidence, Leo is perhaps the smartest all-round of the turtles.


Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century) - Sherlock Holmes was the world's first consulting detective. Holmes also was responsible for inventing and publicising many advances in the forensic sciences. We know of his activities primarily through his friend Dr. John H. Watson, whose articles made Holmes famous.
Holmes was revived in the 22nd century in order to help Inspector Beth Lestrade find and catch Moriarty -- another consultation! He is currently being retained by New Scotland Yard as a consultant, and apparently is making a good amount of credits that way.
Holmes still has a lot of catching up to do, but he has embraced the use of computers, hololearners, and video communication over the net. His Stradivarius does not seem to be in evidence (and heck! Did you think a Strad was going to be allowed to rot in a museum? And did you think that anyone, even Lestrade, could persuade a violinist to give one up?) but Holmes has adopted an electronic instrument which combines frets with a keyboard (EMPT2) and seems to be happy with it -- except that by TWIS2, he was still having trouble playing the rather simple melody of "Ode to Joy".
Holmes is of course an expert boxer and singlestick player and knows baritsu, but his primary martial art in the 22nd century is cane fighting. La canne really was practiced back in Victorian times as part of the French martial art Savate, which was folded into Bartitsu (and hence, very likely, into baritsu).
Holmes habitually carries on his person:
 a retractable/extendable cane (FALL)
 a magnifying glass (DERA)
 a futuristic flashlight (DERA)

Uhm, I think I'm going to vote for the sword weilding ninja with enhanced physical traits.

Isnt this future Holmes version semi robotic? Anyone else remember? I dont believe its simply Sherlock Holmes in the future here.

Semi-Robotic, yes. But I don't think it's enough to protect him from a sword, especially when it's weilded by a very skilled person. And he's not a real fighter, or anything like that either. Leonardo EASILY wins this fight.

Straight up my Nigga.......

My Vote: Leo

Hmmm...Holmes is deductive and can and will break Leonardo easily with just his words.

Then he's an expert fighter with his cane and he knows how to throw a punch.

Hell, Bruce Wayne as an 80 year-old fended off hoodlums with just a cane-pretty easily-And Sherlock is stronger than that Batman.

Let's not forget, if all else fails, Sherlock can offer Leo some opium.

Gotta agree with the majority here. Against the other turtles, maybe (though maybe not), but Leonardo is their best. Best fighter, best strategist, best Turtle overall for this TOC, so Im giving him the win here over Holmes.

Winner - Leonardo

With prep time I could see Holmes having a chance. He's going to be one of the most dangerous LWs in the team division.

But here he's going to lose. Leo has better training and better defensive capabilities. Honestly, saying that they land an equal number of blows who will be in worse condition - the guy with a shell who practices with his brother who uses a staff or the guy who is going to be getting cut up?

Leonardo to round 2.

I don't know, there's always the opium...

I get the feeling that the cartoon edited that out.

Of course, but it was on Fox, you'd think they wouldn't.

I'm pretty sure he has a stash somewhere with him, and Leonardo does do the beach talk-seems a definate fit.

Definately good enough for a 30 second incap.

I'm pretty sure it was a solution of Cocaine.

It's still going to incap Leo.

Holmes may be partly robotic, but he doesn't stand a chance. I'd give it to a normal Ninja with a sword, and Leo has an added advantage of a tough turtle shell. My vote...
LEONARDO
