#aa3-5

A neat thing about 3-5 is it is the first case in the entire series where absolutely no witnesses are involved in the murder. Up to that point (and after for that matter), the culprit and accomplices being among the people who testify feels like an inherent part of the formula.

Instead, the "culprits", or more accurately, "people in the know" only ever occupy the roles of prosecutor, defendant, and victim. A prosecutor and a defendant were previously culprits, but someone also involved also testified within the case (Yogi & de killer). These cases were also both the finale cases of their given games (1-5 not withstanding).

It's such an interesting subversion of the formula and it fits the grand trilogy finale really well.

I fucking love this frame. he looks so much like he was the one who set the bridge on fire and is incredibly proud of it

this is another line that feels like it would warrant a "what the hell happens in ace attorney"

It's now been a full year since I finished the original ace attorney trilogy! Wild! I'll never forget banging my head so fast my glasses fell off when Pursuit ~ Cornered 2004 kicked in

I've never been all in on franmaya mainly because the only time they have extended interaction is turnabout big top and I couldn't imagine them having that many opportunities to interact after that, let alone enough to like each other

but I just considered the idea that if they don't become friends until after bridge to the turnabout it fixes everything, especially since that's their final canon interaction so it doesn't contradict anything
