Board 8 > Reminder that Athena was only lead defender for two cases

(+) Yeah! (+)

Two cases in one chapter.

You're only going to confuse people if you try to refer to the second half of 6-5 as 6-6 because 6-D is not the term most people use for the DLC case.

The new games have done confusing things with their epic cases in terms of making distinctions (where a lot of people treat 5-4 and 5-5 as the same case despite them being separated) or not (where there are people like you who treat each half of 6-5 as individual cases, especially with the overall case being as long as it is).

6-5 has two separate trials, but they're essentially telling one story. 6-3 is also two separate trials telling the same story. 6-6 is the only "true" two-day case where both days deal with the same event. SoJ is something else.

I treat them as two parts to the same case. The same goes for 6-5 and 6-6. They're the same thing as 5-4 and 5-5. I don't like that 5-4 and 5-5 were treated as separate while 6-5 and 6-6 were not.

I should replay SOJ but I remember being wholeheartedly frustrated with the Khur'ainese and especially Nahyuta having a gimmick that was redundant and aggravating.

by that logic 5-1 should also be part of the 5-4/5-5 trilogy

the point is when talking about them you should go by what the game actually does and not whatever personal logic you use to make sense of them

oh so you're going to keep doing it anyway

all right then

Just call them 6-5A and 6-5B, god. Like you can continue to refer to something as something that no one will understand what you mean, but that's your choice.

Also yeah Nahyuta is sadly just a failed character. Kind of a shame since they usually get the prosecutor/rival character right, only other major exception being Klavier I guess, but man, I even like Klavier more than Nahyuta.

Man 3-2A was really disappointing compared to 3-2B

And for that matter, 1-2 and 6-3 are also technically two trials.

I actually kind of liked the first part of 3-2 just because it wasn't a murder.

The wham moment at the end of the first trial day is a top tier moment for the series, too.

okay this works, thanks

The thing that's different with 6-5 as opposed to 1-2 and 3-2 is that those three cases are a single continuity with a single villain; neither of those has a massive purge of evidence. 6-5 has two wholly separate murders with two different, unrelated schemes, and midway through the trial, a good chunk of evidence and character profiles are discarded. Ergo, they're two separate cases.

I concur with this.

They have to do it so you're not sitting with 10 pages of evidence. It's far from the only case to do purges. Heck, E1-5 does it on like 5 different occasions.

And the two cases are definitely not unrelated.
---

They are mostly unrelated.

They're both ultimately about obtaining the same object at their cores.

Speaking of 3-2, I haven't watched the T&T episodes of the anime yet, and I'm kinda afraid to because Luke Atmey is one of the very few characters in the series that I have created a very specific voice for in my head, and I'm quite afraid that the anime voice won't match (not that most of the anime voices are all that memorable anyway... it's been just over a year since I watched it last and the only voice I distinctly remember is Gumshoe).

Oh and since this topic was originally about Athena, her surprised reaction might be my favorite non-breakdown reaction in the whole series.

AA anime season 2 was pretty great
