E2-3 earns its place in the top 5. Many appreciated how it adds to the overall universe of Ace Attorney. The case taking place in the past and present was also praised by several. It, just like many other AAI2 cases, is thought of as too long.

Summary:

You can't have a teenaged side-kick for too long before they end up a murder suspect; Edgeworth learns this lesson the hard way, putting his entire career on the line to defend Kay not from the mysterious figure that attacked her, but the Prosecutorial Investigations Committee that is determined to have the both of them locked away.

Main Characters: Miles Edgeworth, Dick Gumshoe, Kay Faraday, Raymond Shields, Justine Courtney, Sebastian Debeste, Franziska von Karma
Other Characters: Karin Jenson, Jill Crane, Bonnie Young, Ema Skye, Lotta Hart, Blaise Debeste, Shelly de Killer

My rating: 3/10. I love the characterization here. I mentioned before that Kay eventually pays off and this is the case I'm thinking of. ...Of course, it's the case where Kay doesn't act like Kay at all. But I really enjoy Edgeworth and Kay's relationship in this chapter. Courtney's heel-face turn is nice, too. And Karin/Bonnie's role is pretty good. I like the twist of an unreliable autopsy on top of an unreliable narrator. But I don't really like anything else about this case, though. I find the murder pretty uninteresting and I feel like it relies a bit too heavily on fanservice to lift up what's there. I like Blaise, but he's such a massive jobber. And the pacing is slow. E2-2 is worse, but at least it has reason to be long. E2-4 does not, really.
