As someone who did the puzzle on the DS version, it really is less of a headache there. And there's a grim  in knowing the true origin of the Blue Badger.E: Update near the bottom of the last page.

I wish I could go back in time and watch myself play through this case for the first time, because genuinely I do not remember having such a difficult time lining the jar up. The only other possibility I could think of is that I just had way more patience for that kind of bullshit in the past.

I take it back, the payoff is much better knowing there's that minigame/puzzle that requires you to prove it. It's neat, although also seemingly a giant pain....

It's been well over a decade since I last played this game, but I don't remember this puzzle being nearly that difficult on the DS. That's some bullshit right there.

Part 155: Episode 5, Final Day, Trial Former: Bloody Message  Either you all know what's coming, or you have the same half-baked theory that I do - that bloody mark on the jar is the only thing somewhat resembling writing that was in that office that night. More importantly, that mark having some meaning is the only reason that Gant would hide it in his safe.  Music: Silence  This is the message left by the deceased.Sound: Objection  Sound: Realization  Oh, is he going to just speak the killer's name?Sound: Realization  If that thing could, I'm sure it would.Sound: Realization   A message was left here... on the surface of this jar. What do you mean?Sound: Light Bulb quote:I briefly considered submitting Goodman's Note (it is a message from the deceased, after all; just not the same deceased that we've been discussing), but the penalty forced me into a more serious guess. Choosing the note gets the same negative result as any other incorrect answer, however: Music: Suspense  Oh wow, I think I see it. It's just been partially wiped away. How many instances of evidence tampering are we up to now?  It looks like someone wiped the blood away.Sound: Realization ... Yes, but notice: Why would that one fragment not get wiped? Did Lana not find it right away, and later it was too late so Gant just had to hide it in his safe? Yes... there is a line here... drawn in blood! So what you're saying, Sound: Light Bulb Prosecutor Marshall did not die instantly. It was pitch dark in there. Did he even know what had happened, let alone who had done it? One that someone apparently wiped away... Let's luminol the whole thing!  Sound: Desk Slam  Precisely so! All we need to do is connect these points...Music: Silence  Sound: Objection  N-no...! Sound: Gavel  Mr. Wright! What kind of message did the victim leave for us!?Sound: Whack  Sound: Realization Music: Logic and Trick (I've got to connect these dots to make letters.) (His murderer's name!)Was Neil Marshall really thinking at the time, "That bitch Ema betrayed and killed me! I better write down her name so everyone knows what happened!" Seems like a bit of a stretch, but whatever.  We get a little puzzle with zero instructions on what to do. After some trial and error, I discovered that connecting the dots requires a double-click with the mouse first on one dot, and then on another dot to draw a line between them.  Like so.  Not hard to connect the rest from there. The hardest part is realizing the middle line of the "E" doesn't actually need to be connected anywhere for some reason. Anyway, I never remotely saw this one coming when we first found that last piece of the jar.   Music: Silence  Sound: Guilty (That's why all I've been thinking about is saving Lana.) Sound: Guilty  Sound: Guilty quote:Getting this one wrong is pretty easy to do, given the lack of instruction.  Sound: Realization I just thought of something. In order for Neil to write out Ema's name like it's shown here, the jar would still have to be intact at this point. So how did it get broken? And why did one piece not get wiped away, and hidden in Gant's safe instead? Was he saving it as blackmail material?     Of all people... Was Ema Skye. Sound: Guilty  Sound: Realization Oh look, Gant's back to taunt us. Does he even realize we got that last piece of the jar out of his safe?  Music: Damon Gant ~ Swimming, Anyone?  Chief Gant...Sound: Light Bulb  What...? What are you talking about? Two years ago, Joe Darke was sentenced to death. He was convicted because of his final murder. Gant is awfully cheeky for someone who did a lot of the evidence tampering/forging in said case. Ack!Sound: Light Bulb  Yes, Worthy. Because of you... an innocent man was sentenced to death. Sound: Realization  Sound: Stab 2 Music: Silence  Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Objection  I'm afraid that's not important.Sound: Realization Music: Damon Gant ~ Swimming, Anyone?  What?Sound: Light Bulb We're merely keepers of the law. Sentencing a man to death... is no light matter. Even if there wasn't any cover-up or evidence forgery... Sound: Realization I'm really looking forward to wiping that smirk of his face in a few updates. ! Despite what anyone may say,Music: Silence this fact cannot be denied.Sound: Drama Pound  Sound: Crowd Noise We get the same extra-excited crowd noise that ended our last trial day.  Sound: Crowd Noise  Sound: Crowd Noise  Sound: Crowd Noise There's a difference between responsibility and fault. Damon Gant and Lana Skye are clearly the ones at fault here. Though I guess we still have to prove Gant's involvement.  Sound: Crowd Noise   Unable to settle the crowd, the judge declared a recess. Where this trial is headed, no one knows... Rather eventful first half of the trial day. We still have to tie all of this SL-9 stuff back into Goodman's murder. Maybe Lana will be more forthcoming now that her secret is out? Music: Jingle - It Can't End Here  Just one segment left in this game!

Excellent penalty-assessment line, sir Judge.

I don't think Lana will be terribly pleased with us, considering if the accusation we've just made stands, her sister will be tried and likely convicted of murder or manslaughter.

I suppose? From all indication, the evidence they had on him was circumstantial or non-existent. But it doesn't seem like Gant is denying that he's culpable (or believed to be).DKII posted:

I think a big part of it is taking control of the narrative. It's not as effective to deny his culpability here as it is to throw someone else under the bus, unless he's directly questioned about his responsibility. It's also kind of in his character design. Gant has a very evil looking character design, but it's not evil in the same way AncientSpark fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Jan 13, 2024 |

do you think that phoenix wright could successfully get aladdin (disney, pre-lamp) out of trouble? a billion witnesses, cops, all saying he stole the goddamn bread and he steals all the time. would he even do it? i feel like maybe he would say something like "If you have to steal to eat... and you have to eat to live..." *desk thump* "That means he had to steal... to live!" *point* *music change* "Would you condemn a man for staying alive??" or something like that. but honestly i don't think that phoenix does any cases that aren't murders-where-we-also-find-the-real-killer, based on his record so far

Part 156: Episode 5, Final Day, Trial Latter: Final Witness Music: Silence  Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture  I didn't mean to get you in trouble...  This is my problem, not yours.Music: Silence  Sound: Door Opens ...Sound: Realization ...Sound: Realization  Sound: Light Bulb I think someone forgot to update Gumshoe's lines from yesterday's mid-trial break. Wait! Detective Gumshoe! What is it?Sound: Light Bulb  Sound: Whack  Sound: Whack I take it Lana's having you run errands again. Let me tell you, this is the last time, pal! Sound: Realization "Evidence Law"? (Edgeworth was talking about this just the other day...) Rule 1: no evidence shall be shown without the approval of the Police Department! I-is that right, Mr. Wright!? It seems so. Sound: Whack  A message?Sound: Realization  She said, "If you're planning to take HIM on, ("Him"...) (I guess I'll need to give this book a thorough read...) Sound: Select Jingle Good thing this is a video game and books are a maximum of three pages long. Also we can freeze time while perusing the Court Record.  This book has just one page, outlining the two rules themselves. I'm impressed at the callback here; I suspect these will come up when trying to nail Gant on hiding the SL-9 evidence. That second rule actually somewhat explains why we can't just present anything we want whenever we want; we have to wait until we can show its relevance first.  All that's left now is the Chief Prosecutor's sentence. That's where you're wrong, Detective.Sound: Realization  Huh?Sound: Light Bulb   Why I'm still sitting in that prosecutor's seat... Sound: Realization  Mr. Edgeworth... Sound: Light Bulb Wright and Edgeworth working together to get to the truth is awesome. Music: Silence  What!? What else is there left to do?Sound: Whack  Ema Skye found out she unwittingly caused a man's death... And now you're telling me you want to do more!?Sound: Whack  Sound: Damage 2 You're missing the point, Detective. Lana didn't murder Detective Goodman.Sound: Realization Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture ...!Sound: Light Bulb  That means the real killer... is still out there. What!? (And we're going to expose him...) (No matter what it takes!)I like using Gumshoe as the stand-in for the audience for the recap here.  Music: Silence   Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel Music: Trial  Mr. Edgeworth. Yes, Your Honor? We'll see what they say once the day is over.   Thank you for the news, Your Honor. Yes, well... *a-hem*I'm still amazed at how this game has made me go from hating Edgeworth's antics at the start to loving them now. Taking a bow at the judge and thanking him for the news is just such a perfect response to a bullshit inquiry like that.   but, er... *a-hem* *cough* *cough* This isn't easy to say...  Struck a bargain?Sound: Realization ...!Sound: Light Bulb  Was Edgeworth manipulating Ema into ruining his reputation for him? I'm not sure this complaint makes a lot of sense here. I didn't say that!Sound: Whack  ... Very well, Your Honor. I have a solution. A solution?Sound: Light Bulb That being the case, Sound: Realization Edgeworth you magnificant rear end in a top hat, way to turn that around.  Sound: Stab Undeniably this is an unusual arrangement... but a very effective one. On the other hand, Edgeworth is thorough enough to strike deals with all possible witnesses anyway. But we know that won't be the case here.  Hmm... Well, Mr. Wright? What do you say? ... (Unbelievable.) Very well. The defense accepts the prosecution's proposal.Sound: Gavel Then it's settled. Mr. Wright. ...!Sound: Light Bulb  If you call the wrong witness... this trial is as good as over. The defense calls... (The time's finally come to bring out the real murderer!) While it might be interesting to call on Lana and see if she'll spill the beans on Gant now, Phoenix's last line is telling us we need to go straight for Gant here. There's a penalty on this one, but it's not a tough choice anyway. Music: Silence Sound: Desk Slam  quote:Picking anyone else results in disappointed Edgeworth:  Sound: Realization Sound: Whack ... As the defendant's partner two years ago, I feel we should hear what he has to say about it. Hmm... As luck would have it, he should still be in the courthouse. Sound: Realization Wouldn't you agree, Your Honor? True... Music: Damon Gant ~ Swimming, Anyone? Witness. Please state your name and occupation. I was just on my way to lunch! Your name and occupation, sir.  Sound: Desk Slam Your name and occupation! So... You want to play hardball, eh?Sound: Realization P-please, Mr. Gant. ... Fine.Sound: Light Bulb  Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping Acting?   Oh, Wrighto. What's with the grim face?Sound: Light Bulb First, let's clear up this SL-9 Incident. Sound: Realization This guy really doesn't realize that all his schemes are falling apart around him now. Personally, I think it's been made pretty clear already. There are still some things unaccounted for. Oh? Like what?Sound: Light Bulb Like the role you played in all of this. ...Music: Silence  Sound: Realization ... "Weapons"...?Sound: Light Bulb Sure. Take my testimony, for example. Sound: Realization What?Sound: Light Bulb  Is that true? Just in case you thought the system wasn't corrupt enough.  ... Sound: Whack That's literally all he's been trying to do all episode.  Just remember... Super secret double penalties at stake here, then! Sound: Gavel Very well. The witness may now begin his testimony. Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato As I recall, Neil and I were questioning him that day.  Apparently she had already... "arranged" the crime scene. Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping Music: Silence Well that last line is bullshit, and we have a couple different ways to prove it.  Him? He was lying on the floor unconscious.Sound: Wipe   Sound: Shock 2  Sound: Shock 2  Sound: Stab 2  What an odd way to talk about Darke getting knocked unconscious.  (If the police chief has the right to refuse to testify...) (Then I'd better hit him hard and fast!) Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato (Lana did admit to forging evidence...) (but that can't be the whole truth.) As I recall, Neil and I were questioning him that day.  Yes, that's right. I guess you could say I'm a workaholic...   I don't quite remember... At the very least, she wasn't there when Darke ran for it. To make a long story short, we slipped up. That power outage didn't help either. So the two of you ran immediately after him, right? so Neil and I split up. He went upstairs and I went downstairs. I guess you could say... he got "lucky."Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Clapping  Oh, that.Sound: Whack  Well... Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping (That's not funny...) When I went to my office, I found Lana there. Could you tell us what you saw? It was a shocking sight...Sound: Wipe  This image makes more sense knowing it was arranged like that. Those bodies don't look like they naturally fell that way. Darke was also lying collapsed on the floor?Sound: Realization  Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Clapping  (Lana and Ema...) Lana was cradling Ema in her arms. Looking back at it now... Sound: Realization ...! Apparently she had already... "arranged" the crime scene.Sound: Desk Slam How can you know that!? Because of the victim's body. It had already been moved.Sound: Realization So that means...Sound: Wipe  That's right. I think you said earlier, Sound: Drama Pound Yes... ... Anyway... As you can see, I had nothing to do with the "forgery." So you're saying... That's exactly what I'm saying. I can understand how Lana must have felt, There we go, that's the line we nail him on. (Is that how it really went down?) Sound: Realization !Sound: Light Bulb If you're going to stare at anything... Worthy, Worthy... Always the smooth talker.Sound: Clapping  Can't ask for a better prompt than that.  To help you out, I'm going to eliminate one of the incorrect options here. You'll see why. Music: Silence If you really had nothing to do with the forgery... then how do you explain this?Sound: Objection Music: Investigation - Core  Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Desk Slam Chief Gant! Your explanation, please!Sound: Drama Pound ...Music: Silence I don't know.Sound: Realization You tell me, son.Sound: Whack Huh?Sound: Light Bulb My dear Wrighto. Sound: Realization (Uh-oh, not this again. Evidence law...)  Sound: Realization Sound: Gavel It appears... the defense was not prepared. Please accept my profound apologies, Chief. Would you mind giving the defense another chance? Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping Thank you. I assure you the defense is terribly sorry.Sound: Whack Ha ha ha... (Yeah. Sorry I didn't nail you...)Music: Questioning - Moderato From there, we get brought back to the start of the cross. Notably, we do not take a penalty here. Considering my only thought on the cloth was that it was showing Ema's handprint on Neil's vest, I'm not sure how it's really going to end up getting used yet.  We still have to decide what else to present here. We're up to thirty pieces of evidence in the list now. Which one contradicts Gant's last statement?

Part 157: Episode 5, Final Day, Trial Latter: Forgery  Of the things we found in Gant's office, the jar seems the most relevant given it identifies the killer, and the most damning considering Gant had it locked up in his safe. Music: Silence You claim you had nothing to do with the forgery... Sound: Realization Explain yourself. Several pieces of evidence were found in your office. Take this jar, for example. Sound: Light Bulb  A piece of this jar was discovered in your safe. ... Not only that, Sound: Desk Slam was actually found inside your desk!quote:The poll had two items getting heavy votes, and since the scene mentions two pieces of evidence, you won't be surprised to learn that we can present either the jar or the list here. Some lines just get switched around for the other one:  Sound: Light Bulb You see, Chief Gant. These articles of evidence uncovered in your office... Sound: Drama Pound Sound: Objection Gant knew we presented both of these things earlier today. Yet he still has had a cocky attitude all day. He must have a plan for dealing with this evidence. Music: Objection!  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel  Sound: Whack Ho! Here's a defense attorney who may even rival Worthy! Who, me? Or do you mean... you?Sound: Realization  Sound: Stab Well... ...!Sound: Light Bulb  Wait, that's his whole strategy? Just say "nuh-uh" and "you must have planted it on me!" Has Gant forged so much evidence in his years that it's all he can see anywhere now? Good thing we had Gumshoe with us at the time then. Defense attorneys can do so too. Isn't that right, Wrighto?Sound: Whack Sound: Desk Slam  Worthy, my boy.Sound: Realization Not even detectives are exempt from the law. Here we have a prime example of why evidence tampering/forgery is such a serious issue for the legal system. Once the idea of planting evidence becomes feasible, literally every defendant can just make their defense "well the police planted that evidence". It quickly becomes impossible to prosecute anyone. Wh...Sound: Light Bulb WHAAAAT!?Sound: Stab 2 Music: Silence  Sound: Gavel Yes, well. In light of the Detective's presence...Luckily for us, even this judge isn't buying that Gumshoe was in on planting evidence for us.  and their relation to the forgery that took place at the crime scene. My, my...  Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato  For all I know, you could have planted them in my office.Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping  If they were found after Darke was convicted, then they're worthless. There's no reason I'd participate in a forgery. Music: Silence So much wrong with that testimony I'm not even sure where to begin. Hmm... Mr. Wright. Yes, Your Honor? When investigating the crime scene...  Exactly what protocol would have proven that we found the evidence where we said we found it? Even if we videotaped the whole thing, we could have arranged the scene beforehand and then faked out the entire discovery sequence.  Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping Ooh... Sound: Realization My apologies, Chief, but would you mind waitingSound: Light Bulb until tomorrow for that? Today is... well, you know... Sound: Whack I know! I know! That place, right? (Huh? What are these guys, telepathic?)Common exchange of favors, I guess...  Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato  (Yet I know he played a part in the forgery.) Sound: Realization I wonder if Lana knew what she was getting into, going to Gant for help? And was just that desperate?  Edgeworth reading the thoughts off of Wright's face again. For all I know, you could have planted them in my office.Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Whack Yes, you do have a point... Sound: Realization What!?Sound: Light Bulb  Phoenix.... as much as I love the image of Phoenix Wright, cow-tipper, now is not the time! M-Mr. Wright! What are you saying!?Sound: Whack Anyway, you can't prove you didn't carry in the evidence, can you? Later? What are you talking about?Sound: Light Bulb  Yes. If they're found inside my safe, they would prove his investigation was illegal.Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping I'm not sure that even makes any sense. Maybe someone legally investigating the safe would be smart enough to wear gloves?  Anyway, you can't prove "when" those pieces of evidence were discovered. What do you mean by that? This is all purely hypothetical, of course... Such an act... wouldn't necessarily constitute forgery.Sound: Realization I think this guy would be more persuasive if he wasn't trying to cram multiple arguments into one testimony. "You planted it!" "I found it after the trial was over, so it wasn't forgery!" "I don't have any motive anyway!" He's actually coming off kind of desperate, earlier than I would have expected. Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Drama Pound I'm not through speaking yet, Wrighto.Sound: Realization  If they were found after Darke was convicted, then they're worthless. wasn't discovered in the initial investigation? Sound: Light Bulb A piece not being found until later would explain why that one piece hadn't been wiped. I still don't get how Neil wrote out Ema's name on the jar, and then the jar broke, though. Maybe Lana saw Ema's name plainly written on it, and then smashed the jar? Then panicked and tried to wipe off the blood afterwards, but couldn't find one of the pieces?  Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping Hiding excuplatory evidence for a man on death row isn't a problem then? Or was the sentence (execution) carried out immediately? Sound: Desk Slam Oh, and wouldn't that be convenient... Wright. !Sound: Light Bulb  your remarks, however clever they may be, will only succeed in wasting time.Sound: Realization (Tell me something I don't know...)Sound: Stab Come now, Wrighto.Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Clapping Think about it.I like how Edgeworth is serving as the stand-in for Ema here. I bet Ema makes a dramatic comeback before this trial is over, though. There's no reason I'd participate in a forgery.Sound: Desk Slam  Because I'm innocent. ...!Sound: Light Bulb Remember? Who was it that murdered Neil?Sound: Realization I'm not sure I care for the word "murder" here... was Ema Skye. ... Well? Now do you see? Rearranging the crime scene wouldn't help me out in any way. Really, Chief Gant? Oh? I wasn't aware. What is this "benefit"?Music: Silence  Sound: Realization Oh...Sound: Light Bulb  That in itself is sufficient motive!Sound: Objection ... Sound: Whack x 3 Sound: Damage 2 Music: Damon Gant ~ Swimming, Anyone? Huh?Sound: Realization Do you really think I'm that incompetent? What do you mean? The resolution of SL-9 merely sped up the inevitable a little. Is that true, Edgeworth?Sound: Light Bulb   Gah!Sound: Damage 2 Be careful when pointing that finger... or you might wind up being the one pointed at! So that means... If you didn't do it for yourself... then you did it for someone else.Sound: Realization Music: Silence Don't be silly, Worthy. You know me better than that.Sound: Light Bulb  Sound: Realization Interesting way to claim to have no motive. But he can still selfishly benefit by helping someone do something illegal, and then blackmailing them about it afterwards. ... There, it's out in the open now.Sound: Light Bulb  By all means, please do!Music: Questioning - Moderato  All that was just one long press, but we get a subtly different statement out of Gant from it. Of course we just press on it again... "Nothing in it" for you? Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping That girl... Lana's little sister, was it? You're right... You don't feel sorry for anyone. Sound: Light Bulb You seem to be lax enough on yourself, though. Ho! Ho! Ho!Sound: Whack x 3 Sound: Damage 2 Sound: Clapping Oh, that's a good one, Worthy! (Hmm... Could there have been something in it for him?) We figured this one out a long time ago. True, you might not help out anyone for their sake.Music: Silence  Sound: Light Bulb quote:If we back off instead: ... Mr. Wright. as a nice man who likes to lend people a hand.Sound: Realization (That's not what I mean...)Sound: Gavel Music: Logic and Trick Very well, then.  This choice isn't hard. Though it's funny that Gant himself is an option here. Music: Silence  Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Drama Pound ... I believe it's quite obvious in light of the circumstances.Sound: Wipe  quote:Guessing anyone but Lana here just results in a penalty and some taunting from Gant. Music: Suspense  Sound: Realization And as for Chief Gant... he would also have a reason to help Lana if she asked him to.Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Realization Self-profit...?Sound: Light Bulb What do you mean? After the SL-9 Incident was resolved... The person who arranged this job change... was you, Chief Gant.Sound: Realization ... B-but... how would he profit from all of this? Sound: Desk Slam Essentially... Sound: Objection Do you mean to tell me... that despite the Chief's formidable appearance,Music: Silence  Sound: Pong x 2  My favorite part is the dead-silent reaction from the gallery. Oh, wait.Sound: Stab 2  Sound: Damage 2 Penalty on the judge for that one? Sound: Desk Slam Admit it, Chief! You assisted Lana Skye in forging evidence! Sound: Objection Music: Telling the Truth Wrighto, my boy. You have quite an imagination. Let me ask you something. What? Do you have any proof of this? That I "controlled" Lana? Sound: Realization Lana... (She's keeping quiet to protect Ema.) (There's no way she'd testify against Gant!) Yeah, finding inside Gant's safe, the evidence that proved that Ema killed Neil Marshall, is just conjecture... ... Unless... Sound: Realization "This" incident...?Sound: Light Bulb Er... which one would that be? Of course I'm talking about...Sound: Wipe  Edgeworth just casually linking Gant to Goodman's murder like he just thought of it on the fly.

Your Honor, I was merely reiterating...  It's too late, Mr. Wright. !Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Desk Slam There's no turning back for us now. Hahaha Phoenix just accidentally followed Edgeworth right off the cliff. Okay, are we ready for the real showdown? Sound: Gavel Can you prove this, Mr. Wright? ... (Good question...) Regardless of his rank or title, Chief Gant is just a man. Sound: Realization I see. Alright, then. Show us this evidence that ties Chief Gant to the murder of Detective Goodman. Well, thanks for hanging us out to dry, Edgeworth! Still, I guess we at least have an opportunity here, better make the most of it. What do we have that ties Gant to Goodman's murder?

Part 158: Episode 5, Final Day, Trial Latter: Gant Pressure A little more variety in the answers this time, but most of you got it.  We only really have one hope here.  There is one ID number left unidentified on this record. It better belong to Gant. This is the ID card list... There was one ID on the list we couldn't determine the owner of yesterday... 7777777. quote:Nothing else we have is tied to Gant, so we just get a generic failure for all of it. Wait, what are we going to do the rest of the trial? Ah, that's future me's problem. Music: Silence It's your number.Sound: Realization !Sound: Light Bulb What!? How do you know that!?Sound: Whack  A seven-digit code... Seven digits...Sound: Light Bulb You don't mean...Sound: Whack  The same as the remaining ID card number on that list!Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Drama Pound Music: Pressing Pursuit - Cornered Yes, music and sprite change! Get him!  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel Order! Order! Sound: Whack  ... Nothing. Sound: Realization  Sound: Desk Slam  about the use of this ID card!Sound: Drama Pound ...Sound: Gavel Chief Gant!Sound: Whack So you admit it? on the day of the crime!?Sound: Whack ... Sound: Realization what's the difference? I can go anywhere I want. Tell me. When you entered the room... were you alone? Sound: Whack Sound: Clapping Detective Goodman wouldn't have happened to be with you that day... would he? Sound: Light Bulb I hadn't seen him in days! You hadn't seen him... "in days"? Chief Gant... Sound: Realization I can't remember if I explicitly heard the solution to this upcoming question earlier, or just guessed at it a long time ago. Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Objection Sound: Gavel What do you mean?Sound: Whack  No it isn't, Your Honor. This trial's purpose is to determine the truth.Sound: Drama Pound  Sound: Desk Slam then we need to determine one thing: Sound: Objection Sound: Gavel  Show us proof that the victim went to meet Chief Gant on the day of the crime! The connection here is easy to overlook, but see that description? Goodman would have had to talk to Gant about his lost ID, especially with him needing to do the evidence transferal that day. Detective Goodman lost his ID card on the day of the crime. Or to be more accurate, Jake Marshall stole it. So Detective Goodman filled out a lost item report. Sound: Realization Yet you are in possession of the report... which means you can't be sure if he filed it. He filed it. How do I know, you ask? Sound: Objection He needed to? Yes. To transfer the evidence out.Sound: Realization Oh...Sound: Light Bulb  Then... Sound: Drama Pound quote:Nothing else will work here: Music: Silence    Sound: Gallery  I, the Chief of Police, murdered poor Goodman!Sound: Realization ... Exactly.Music: Suspense But wait!Sound: Light Bulb  He could have just lent him his ID card. Yes...Sound: Realization  Sorry, but that's not possible. !Sound: Light Bulb I'm glad Edgeworth is handling this one for us.  Yet you showed us your ID card earlier. If you had really "lent" it to Detective Goodman,Sound: Desk Slam Music: Silence  Sound: Objection Assuming Gant wouldn't have covered that up, too...  Sound: Drama Pound Sound: Damage 2 Whoa. That meltdown looked more like a JRPG boss fight death scene. Which means we must have at least two more phases to this battle. Music: Investigation - Core  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel x 3 Chief Gant!Sound: Whack Y-you didn't...! ... would choose the Police Department as a place to commit murder.  Sound: Realization You're forgetting, Mr. Wright, How did he manage to move it there?Sound: Light Bulb I was at the Police Department the entire day, you know. Does Edgeworth really not know? I thought this one was pretty self-evident after the second investigation day. Everyone except me, it seems... Still, you're the Chief of Police. Sound: Realization Weak. Oh, so you think I just ordered an officer to do it? Sound: Whack Chief Gant. You left all the evidence we need... Sound: Realization (And all this time I thought it was a useless clue just taking up space...)Oh good, we're using that already. Sound: Gavel How could the Chief have moved the body!? Mr. Wright! Show us this evidence! This one isn't too tough, thanks to the hint Phoenix gave us.  Oddly, it seems like this trial day is moving too fast. I wasn't expecting to use this item until much later, but here we are. Music: Silence  Sound: Drama Pound What's that? A screwdriver?Sound: Realization  Mr. Edgeworth. Think back to the day of the crime. It's here because... Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Wipe  Sound: Wipe  Sound: Wipe  After the ceremony ended that day, I didn't plan to return to the Prosecutor's Office. Sound: Realization You mean I... I...Sound: Light Bulb The body was found in the trunk of Mr. Edgeworth's car.Sound: Wipe   Sound: Objection + Drama Pound quote:While it wasn't brought up directly there, we can also present the parking slip instead, and most of the scene just gets flipped: quote:Nothing else will work here: Music: Telling the Truth  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel  Sound: Stab Yes. Unless, of course, you have another explanation, Chief? ... There's only one plausible explanation: to transport the body to your accomplice... Sound: Drama Pound  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel x 3 Order! Order! Order! What's going on here!?Sound: Whack    It was exactly the opposite...Sound: Realization  Sound: Drama Pound I wonder where Lana was going to take it? Chief Gant! Please, say something!Sound: Whack  Sound: Damage 2 Sound: Realization Music: Silence My "time's up"?Sound: Light Bulb  We have to get going if we're to make it in time for the early bird special.Sound: Realization Music: Damon Gant ~ Swimming, Anyone?  Sound: Whack Remember what I told you earlier? A police chief... has all kinds of weapons at his disposal.Sound: Light Bulb ..."Weapons"...?  Sound: Stab 2 There are certain risks to be considered!Sound: Realization Sound: Desk Slam So you're going to just run away after all this!? "Run away"? Don't make me laugh, Worthy. !  Well I... You think I had Lana dispose of the body? Sound: Realization Hmm...  Well, Mr. Wright? Y-Your Honor? Do you have any concrete proof?  Good question. Could be our last chance to nail Gant. Do we have any proof?

Yeah the preview of "there be a penalty ahead" has the last two health sections changing between red and blue to denote what you're risking on that decision. I'll see if I can catch it animated later.

Gant as a JRPG final boss is surprisingly accurate. He has way too much life, bullshit unique mechanics ("nuh uh not testifying") and an impressive title.

One thing that makes viewing a game in a play-by-post let's play quite different is that you can look at something for as long as you want. I remember when I first saw Gant do that, it was shocking. I was like, 'what the gently caress, what happened'. It was a little creepy. It was such an extreme sprite shift, crazier than anything in the game before that. It seems a lot... sillier, when you can just stare it down. Kinda like if you look at the model of a monster in a horror game when it's stuck, or something.

I can believe Chief Gant wipes his rear end with evidence.

He probably does wipe his rear end with the real evidence after he's done doctoring up a bunch of fake evidence for the trial. Just for that extra "gently caress you" to the legal system/defense.

Maybe we can solve this by just reading a list of names. That hasn't failed us yet. Mind you, we only tried it once.
