Q: Is Mitsurugi’s partner not Itonoko, but Mikumo? (From: Yūki)
A: Mitsurugi (Edgeworth) and Itonoko (Gumshoe) of course form a duo as a prosecutor and police detective. In terms of the protagonist and the heroine, Mitsurugi and Mikumo (Kay Faraday) of course form a duo. In terms of comedy, Mikumo and Itonoko form a duo of boke. So together they form a happy trio.
Q: We haven’t seen Mitsurugi brooding and moody anymore like in the main Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) series. Why don’t we get to see his more humble side anymore? (From: Koro)
A: Perhaps because he has grown now he has become the protagonist. And it’s likely Mitsurugi could show his weaker moments there because he was with Naruhodō. He wouldn’t let Itonoko or Mikumo know when he’s disheartened.
Q: This game showed Mitsurugi got his love for tea from his father Shin (Gregory Edgeworth). Did he inherit other hobbies or habits from his father? (From: Mashiro)
A: The hobbies he got from his father are chess, and reading the the six major legal codes. And he also inherited the way that pluck of hair stands on the back of head, and his objection pose with which he puts pressure on his opponents.
Q: Where do they sell that frilly thing he always wears? Is it order made? (From: Bikini Monster, and more)
A: It’s an order-made item by a designer hired by Karuma Gō (Manfred von Karma). It’s not something you can easily find, so if you want one try to make one yourself.
Q: Is Mikumo a dog person or a cat person? (From: Igi Airī)
A: Bird person. But if she had to choose, probably a cat person. She was playing with the cat in the prison with the animals.
Q: Does Mikumo go to high school normally? (From: Payan)
A: It might not look like it, but she does goes to school. Her best subject is P.E.
Q: Why does Ichiyanagi Yumihiko (Eustace Winner) have a conductor’s baton? (From: Moeru Lion)
A: According to himself, the investigation of a case is always dangerous. It’s dangerous to just touch evidence found. So he pokes the evidence first with his baton to see what happens. By the way, the reason why he’s wearing gloves 24/7 is because no matter what trouble he might get into, he’ll never leave fingerprints. This is how a first-rate prosecutor conducts himself.
Q: What does Mikagami (Verity Gavèlle) hit with her hammer? The floor? (From: Gyakuten Ronpa)
A: It’s the floor. They don’t find footprints, but gavel prints whenever she has visited a crime scene. In the early production stages, there was an idea to have Ichiyanagi take out a stand she could use her gavel on.
Q: Can the gavel of the judge also extend like that of Mikagam? (From: Aru)
A: No. He’d hurt his back if he’d swing a long gavel like that.
Q: What does Shigaraki's (Eddie Winner) pose with the double peace sign mean? (From: Tsukushinbopopopo)
A: That isn’t a peace sign. It’s a gesture often used in the English-language world and is to emphasize a phrase with quotes (“”← like this). You’ll see it used a lot in foreign drama series, so try to look for it next time you watch one!
Q: Did Shigaraki pass the bar exam at age 19? If that’s true, that’d make him a prodigy like Mitsurugi.
(From: Shīpī)
A: Yes, he passed it then. That’s pretty amazing. I wonder how many notepads he had to eat for that?
Q: Has Shigaraki never had problems with his stomach by eating paper? (From: Mitsurugi Fan Club Member No. 3)
A: It’s paper the human body can safely consume, so it’s okay! He’s actually also careful when it comes to his health.
Q: When Shin had his photograph taken, he said he had confidence in his hair today, so why did he keep his hat on? (From: Mayun)
A: He apparently meant that he had confidence in his hair today (with his hat on). A gentleman’s dandy appearance starts with his hair.
Q: Mitsurugi Shin is such a gentleman, how wonderful! How tall is he? And he is a talented defense attorney, but is he soft on his son at home? (From: Juri)
A: He’s about as tall as the grown-up Mitsurugi. He is always mindful to act the best he can at the office, in the court and as a father at home. He won’t be overly soft on his son, but he loves his son dearly.
Q: What’s the trap for that’s hanging from Hayami’s backpack? (From: Shōnosuke)
A: Her food for the day. Whenever she has to do a stake out for an article, she’s able to obtain food with her trap. It’s of course not to capture persons who are running away from her because she’s trying to interview them. Probably.
Q: I think Tsukasa had romantic feelings for Tenkai, but what does Tenkai think of her? (From: Sirenia)
A: She loves Tenkai like her father or family. Tenkai loves her as his precious daughter, in the past and still now even.
Q: What do all those prosecutor’s badges mean on Ichiyanagi Bansai’s chest? Are those badges taken from prosecutors by the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee? (From: Saishū Heiki)
A: Exactly. He collects the badges from prosecutors who had them taken away from them by the Committee. And if you look closely, you’ll see he has room for one more badge. He was planning to put Mitsurugi’s badge there.
Q: I felt a shudder when I realized Ichiyanagi Bansai, Karuma Gō and Ganto Kaiji (Damon Gant) were all active in the same period. Are there any plans to show how these three became evil? (From: TOMO-PON)
A: It’d be fun if we could tell the story of those three! But it’d probably become something like a dark Roman picaresque. I doubt that’d make for a good game…
Q: Could you tell me which of the new characters were popular with the staff? (From: Tiger Inu, and more)
A: The most popular among the female staff was by far Ichiyanagi Yumihiko.
Q: Why didn’t Obachan (Wendy Oldbag) appear in this game? What is she doing now? (From: Akī, Honey Toast, and many more)
A: You don’t see her, but she’s actually chasing after Mitsurugi. The idea is that she’s in one of the rooms of the Zodiac Art Gallery you can’t enter, but sadly enough her lines were cut.
Q: When you work on the scenario, do you start with the overall outline of the case? Or do you start with a situation? (From: Saiyajin no Pūgī)
A: The situation of the case. We start with “it’d be interesting if a case like this happened.” Because first we have to make sure that the case itself will attract attention and interest.
Q: The IS-7 Incident connects to the later DL-6 Incident and would change the lives of many. It’s basically the “prime incident”. Was this planned? (From: threewaves)
A: It was already decided we’d write about Mitsurugi Shin’s final case and his first and final confrontation with Karuma Gō at the story plotting stages. So yes, we knew we were working on the “prime incident.” We already knew how the trial would end, so the most difficult part was how we’d make use of that conclusion and write an ending to the case.
Q: What’s the most valuable object in the black market auction? (From: Hottokei, and more)
A: Rumors say some objects go for more than 100,000,000 yen. Of the objects Mitsurugi and the others saw, the most valuable is probably the Alif Red statue.
Q: I’d like the know where the name of the Great Kaiju Borumoth came from. (From: Chairoi Seien)
A: It’s a cow kaiju, so it comes from horumon.
Q: I think Itonoko helped a lot in Gyakuten Kenji 2. Are there plans for a spin-off with him as the protagonist? A spin-off with Mei (Franziska von Karma) also sounds fun. (From: Mika)
A: It’d be fun to have other series with other protagonists besides Mitsurugi. However, perhaps a detective game wouldn’t work if Itonoko's the protagonist. If Mei becomes the protagonist, we’d need an assistant who can stand all the whipping so that might be difficult.
