Ah, the Steel Samurai, warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo
By the way, can someone explain the evil magistrate thing? Is it the Japanese equivalent to a corrupt baron/count/generic noble or the Sheriff of Nottingham?

If I remember correctly, almost no longsword can be carried AND drawn from the back - to be drawn it has to be short (or your arms have to be STUPIDLY long), or you have to have the sword on your hip.

The Steel Samurai lost is one of the best AA twists and sets the bar for all games going forward.

It's genius in its simplicity and yet I doubt many players managed to suss it out before Nick's freakout.

That guy absolutely was a mafioso, not a Yakuza member. Those goons last update were far more Yakuza than mafia, they don't really have the feeling of a mafia "picciotto" (Sicilian for goon).

There's not much difference, organized crime is organized crime, but there is one.

Yeah. I think what actually happened is fairly clear, but that might be my experience from previous LP's butting in.

I'm pretty sure you could kill a man if he was charging at you and you just held it up. Especially braced against a stair or something. I'm also pretty sure that isn't what happened though. Surely the more compelling counter argument would have been "how would I have gotten it off him in the first place"? Given he, you know, arrived with it, per the cameras.

I dunno, maybe she couldn't "disappear" the body in time to avoid notice from the others at the studio? And I can't imagine Oldbag staying quiet about the death of her heartthrob for any amount of bonus pay. Also have to wonder how many Yakuza goons she had sitting in on that meeting.

Or maybe she panicked after the act and did the setup in the heat of the moment?

Three updates on this page already. It seems we still don't really know enough to spark much discussion. So I'll throw out some bait - any thoughts on what we're going to have to do to get Edgeworth to agree to let us defend him?

Missile, of course!

(Fun fact: Shu Takumi owns, or at least used to own, a Pomeranian of the same name.)

Take another look at the mascot's head. He's supposed to resemble a policeman's badge. Thus, the Blue "Badge"-er.

Putting the final touches on tonight's update... Any comments on the script change notes from last update? Are they interesting, or distracting?

you know, i've never really understood the term 'parallel parking'. if all of the cars are facing the same direction, they're parallel to each other. doesn't matter if they're front-to-back or side-to-side, as long as they're facing the same way. even diagonal! diagonal parking is my favorite kind.

I always assumed that the updated autopsy report was legit, and the only shady thing he did was fail to submit it until pressed. He didn't really need to produce a second one, unless he had figured out in the meantime that the bloody receipt was a frame job, and he was actively working to let Redd White get away with murder the whole time. That does not fit his character in the original release at all.

I have no ear for instruments at all, is Gant's theme supposed to be something that could be produced by a pipe organ?

I imagine even if she technically gets off easy by the legal system itself, Ema being found guilty of murder (manslaughter is still murder, just the "least bad" kind, is my understanding) would mean severe social consequences.

Remember how Yanni Yogi was found innocent by way of insanity, but it still effectively destroyed his life due to sheer social stigma? Ema might be facing the same kind of fate even if her actual sentencing is light.
