Trivia:
  • Polly the Parrot [or Sayuri ] is designed as a combination of scarlet macaw and cockatoo, clearly not intending to be either of these species specifically. Scarlet macaws and cockatoos can both replicate speech that is heard often.


Case 1-4 - Turnabout Goodbyes
https://i.imgur.com/IJeXBUg.jpg
Miles Edgeworth, a boy full of trauma, becomes an adult prosecution lawyer, also full of trauma. But now we tacked on a murder charge for good measure. This courtroom turned personal drama had quite a few twists and turns. At several points, mainly when we were cross-examining the talking parrot, and when Miles tries to confess to killing his own father, I was audibly sighing and repeating Bruh at my DS Lite.

Bruh. Bruh. Bruh.

Tom was starting to wonder if Id lost my marbles.

Miles is accused of killing a defense lawyer while the two were out on a boat in the middle of the night. This defense lawyer had represented the defendant charged with killing Miles's father many years ago.

When Miles was 8 years old, he was stuck in a broken elevator with his dad, defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth, and a bailiff, Yogi. The 3 were suffering from a lack of oxygen in the elevator car, and a plea of insanity was used to absolve the bailiff of supposedly murdering Gregory Edgeworth. Miles recalls reaching for, and dropping, the bailiffs pistol that was in the elevator, but nothing else sticks in his mind. In reality, Manfred von Karma, lauded prosecutor, took the accidental bullet in the arm when the pistol dropped. The elevator doors partially opened, and, finding everyone inside unconscious, Karma took advantage of the situation and killed his rival, Gregory.

Gregory Edgeworth was a very handsome man - I suspect a certain Mr Pecks role in To Kill A Mockingbird had something to do with naming him.

Karma then proceeds to track down this bailiff, whose life has gone seriously down the tubes [including losing his fiance to suicide over the shame of having a husband on trial for murder and the insanity plea on top of it], and convinces him to participate in this plot. Not only does Yogi the ex-bailiff get to kill the defense lawyer who ruined his life in the first place, but Karma almost got away with his revenge plot.

Culprit: Manfred von Karma. In a number of ways, truly the worst dude. Also, super creepy that someone who killed your father could then take you under their wing and practically raise you. And that obsession with perfection? No bueno, friends.

Overall: This was stunning storytelling, I loved the way all the loose ends came together. Thankfully, more and more modern firearms have a few different drop safeties to prevent accidental firing.

Dont forget DL-6.
