So, I was re-reading strip 331 (https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0331.html) and I noticed, Blackwing also asked the kobold for something, and the kobold answered with Try ginkgo bilboa.

So, I get that's most likely a stupid joke and nothing else... but has that event come to pass? and what was Blackwing asking?

Ginko biloba (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/ginkgo-biloba-benefits#TOC_TITLE_HDR_9) [1] is a herb with reputed[2] medicinal properties including boosting intelligence, and fighting memory loss. The forum's speculation is, Blackwing was asking something like "How can I get my stupid master to remember that I exist?"


[1] The Giant's work contains a number of unimportant spelling errors. Bilboa instead of biloba is most likely one of these, but just might be a reference to Bilbo Baggins.

[2] Unsuported by medical research.

I like to think that there's somehow a direct causal link between Blackwing adding Ginkgo biloba extract to V's drinks, and V's mental breakdown, which led to them finally acknowledging Blackwing as a partner.

Maybe Blackwing asked about something that had absolutely nothing to do with V whatsoever and will not be mentionned ever because it didn't matter to anyone but him?

So, it hasn't featured in the comics as of yet, right?

He was asking the Oracle "How can I figure out what Haley was about to confess to Elan?"
