this isn't even the game called that with the case called that btw. they really like that word

I love how in 1-3, when the judge calls for a verdict, Ryunosuke pushes against the verdict because nobody knows what happened, but he's not strong enough and lets it go because the defendant is his ultimate priority as a lawyer... and the culprit goes free.

But then in 2-3, the judge calls for a verdict once Sithe admits her part in the scheme. But Drebber's still not letting up, and Ryu feels like something's off, so he pushes against the verdict harder this time, strong enough to convince the court to get Sithe to testify again. Because the "Not Guilty" is no longer his main priority as a lawyer.

And then that's the first moment in the game "Prelude to Pursuit" starts. He's still on the trail of the truth, and he won't let the trial end until he finds the light at the end.

fun fact: tgaa1 only uses the pursuit theme in three of its five cases, with it being completely absent from cases 2 and 3.

In case 2, this is due to the lack of a courtroom section. Given the structure of the dance of deduction and the circumstances of the culprit, I don't really feel like it would fit even if they tried fitting it in there.

As for case 3, which is nearly entirely a courtroom section, the lack of a pursuit theme is... strange. I'm not even sure it was intentional, but I do think it might add a little to the hollow feeling of the end of 1-3. It makes it feel like the trial's ending before a fundamental part of the process can happen, even if you don't recognize what it is.

So yeah, it makes sense, it's just a funny choice. I doubt there's another game in the series that just... doesn't have the pursuit theme in multiple cases.

case 1 of great ace attorney was good but I wasn't feeling it yet, then case 2 kinda took the wind out of my sails

I just beat case 3. what just happened. I am in shock and I am so excited to continue, I'm starting to feel the eponymous "greatness"
