Self-addressing of minor male characters in Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban) / Personal pronouns

We've talked about the main male and female characters, but we shouldn't forget about the minor male characters who accompany us throughout at least each part of the Ace Attorney (GKS) series

The first man who accompanies us throughout the first trilogy is Itonokogiri Keisuke (Richard/Dick Gumshoe)

And here's an interesting point. His pronoun is "jibun" (自分)

自分は、刑事課の イトノコギリという者ッス。

Jibun wa, keiji ka no Itonokogiri to iu mono ~tssu.

I'm from the Criminal Affairs Division. My name is Itonokogiri.

This is a rather rarely used pronoun; it literally translates as "self", although it has the meaning "I/me".

Jibun is used by about only 14% of men and 1% of women. This fact makes the pronoun gender-neutral, but predominantly masculine.

Compared to other first-person pronouns, the nuance of 自分 is introspective, and it's often associated with the military or athletic community, which have strong hierarchies. This suits Itonoko's personality very well, considering that he is a subordinate of the prosecutor and rarely thinks for himself.

Also, "jibun" can be an indicator of the Kansai dialect (Osaka), where it is used to denote both the first and second person. But, since Itonoko's speech was not noted to have any dialect (there are other features), and he was born and raised in the same city (and the city is from the Kanto region), this option is out of the question.

Interestingly, even after Itonoko realized that detectives should do their own investigations rather than rely on directions from prosecutors, and began making decisions on his own, his self-address did not change. Probably a matter of habit.

自分は、何をしたらいいッスか････

Jibun wa, nani o shitara Ī ~tsuu ka...

What should I do...

___________________________________________

Next is our dear friend's father, Mitsurugi Shin (Gregory Edgeworth)

His speech is very formal (like his son's), and he uses the formal personal pronoun "watashi" written in kanji.

私は弁護士の御剣信と申します。

Watashi wa bengoshi no Mitsurugi Shin to mōshi masu.

My name is Shin Mitsurugi, a lawyer.

___________________________________________

Let's not forget about Mitsurugi assistant - Shigaraki Tateyuki (Eddie Fender, almost wrote Raymond Shields)

Most of his dialogues take place with Mitsurugi and young Yatagarasu, and he stubbornly continues to call himself "uncle". (オジサン - ojisan)

オジサン、アトでここの館長に 文句言っとくから。寒すぎだって。

Ojisan, ato de koko no kanchō ni monku I~tsu toku kara. Samu sugi datte .

Uncle going to complain to the director of this place later. It's too cold.

It was not easy to catch his personal self-addressing with other people, but not impossible.

In dialogues with others, Shigaraki-san uses the polite male pronoun "boku" (like Naruhodō/Wright)

ぼく、その････! がんばって助けますからッ!

Boku, sono! Ganbatte tasuke masu kara ~Tsu !

I, well...! I'll do my best to help you!

___________________________________________

Let's not forget about our permanent presiding judge (here is someone who, with rare exceptions, is always with us)

ええ!わ、私がですか?

ē! Wa, watashi gadesu ka?

What? Me?

___________________________________________

The new generation is first represented by rock star and hard-working prosecutor - Garyu Kyoya (Klavier Gavin)

Despite his prominent image as a musician and rock star, Kyouya uses the polite masculine pronoun "boku" (the same one used by Naruhodō/Wright).

ぼくも楽しみにしているんだ。

boku mo tanoshimini shite iru nda.

I'm looking forward to it too.

His speech is generally polite, and in the original he uses various English phrases in his speech, written either in Latin or Katakana. These phrases, by the way, are often used at concerts of musical groups whose first language is not English. (In the localization, as you know, German was used as a substitute).

オーケイ、ベイビー!

ōkei, beibī!

Okay, baby!

___________________________________________

Mr. Garyu Kirihito (Kristoph Gavin) uses the personal pronoun "watashi", which is written in kanji, indicating formal speech and an adult character.

___________________________________________

The second prosecutor from the new generation is a master of psychological manipulation, Yugami Jin (Simon Blackquill)

To be honest, his image as a samurai somewhat clouded my eyes, and I expected some self-addresses inherent in this category (for example, "yo")

But no, Yugami-kun uses the crude male pronoun "ore" (like Odoroki/Apollo)

それと、俺は検事ってェ立場上、 おめえさんに手は貸さねェからな。

soreto, ore wa kenji tte ~e tachiba-jō, o-me e-san ni te wa kasa nēkara na.

Also, because I'm a prosecutor, I won't help you.

We don't know when he started using this designation (there are no monologues from him before his arrest), but judging by his characterization from other characters, he behaved very noble and politely, so perhaps he could change the personal pronoun to a more rude one to maintain the image of a "cruel criminal".

His manner of speech is, in principle, extremely interesting, and, I think, worthy of a separate post. In short - he speaks in a dialect + uses obsolete words + he has a special way of addressing other characters

___________________________________________

The third prosecutor from the new generation, who is also a monk from the kingdom of Khurain - Sahdmadhi Nahyuta (his name was not localized, thank you)

But this young man has an extremely interesting way of addressing himself.

"Sesso" (拙僧) literally means "inept monk".

This is a VERY modest form of address that was used by Buddhist monks.

拙僧がこの事件の担当に ふさわしくないと････?

sessō ga kono jiken no tantō ni fusawashikunai to?

Are you saying I'm not fit to take charge of this case...?

But, this is very different from his speech. Canonically, he is a foreigner, so he does not know all the features of the language in which the hearings are held. Therefore, Nahyuta uses, either unknowingly or intentionally, quite rude vocabulary and manner of speech (at the first hearing with him as a prosecutor, the judge, Odoroki and Kizuki were shocked). Even a native speaker, whose walkthrough I watched, was surprised and commented on this moment.

___________________________________________

Well, that's probably it for now on the topic of personal pronouns, but if you're interested in someone specific that I haven't mentioned, give me a sign.

若手の時は「働かないオジサン」が昔から使えない穀潰しだと思ってたけど、サラリーマン生活が長くなると色々見えてきて、実は優秀だったけど病んだ人とか、出世争いに負けてモチベを失くした人だったことが分かってきた。いま仕事が順調でも、将来きみが働かないオジサンにならないとは限らないのよ。

吉田恵里香氏が「実際に生きづらい人や当事者が声を上げたり、一生懸命前に出ると、時に矢面に立ち、攻撃を受けてしまう。だからエンターテインメントが代わりに声をあげて、攻撃をかわす盾になれたらいい」と言っててじゃないですか。この「盾」になるってのも娯楽作品の一つの「徳」ですよ。力ですよ でもこの傾向が進むと、「SNSで政治議論をしても傷つくだけだから、全部フィクションの登場人物に任せよう」となるかもしれん。人生に疲れたオジサンが美少女アニメ見て「あの娘達が俺の代わりに笑ったり、泣いたりしてくれる…」と癒されるように。もはや生きているのはフィクションの中の人物だけだ

大自然からの贈り物

森の中に町があるような所なので、野生動物をはじめ自然界からの贈り物がFreeで頂けます。（笑）

木々も多いから、落ち葉拾いも定期的に行います。針葉樹の松や杉の落ち葉が雨樋を塞いでしまったりもしますから、そんな所も掃除をしたり。

広葉樹も紅葉が美しいけど、落葉の時期は道路のあちこちで側溝の排水口を塞いでしまい大きな水溜りもでき危険です。自然との共存って手間がかかる、でもそれを受け入れる人ならここは最高だと感じます。

便利な世の中って人それぞれ。

若い世代の方々が動画サイトで海外移民の話をされていたりするけど、それも人それぞれだよね。特に日本は成熟した国だから余計に感覚の違いって現れる、その逆に外国人が日本へ移住して動画など公開してたりして “ 日本好き “ とかやっていたり 「あ〜そうだよな〜」と、オジサンは感じます。

屋根を掃除してたら鳥か猫、もしくはその他野生動物が運んできたフライドチキンの骨🦴もあったよ（笑）フライドチキンじゃなくて別の動物かも？

掃除の後は近所のトレイルへ

昨日エロして、受けの口の中でフェラしてもらってたらギンギンになったので

「イラマチオして良い？」って聞くと、

「頭なでなでされて急にいじめられると興奮する」と言ってたので、喉奥まで当てると、直前に飲んでた飲み物とか胃液？っぽいのが出てきてチンポだけでなく体中にかかってめっちゃエロかった。

めっちゃ酸っぱい匂いで石鹸で１回洗ってもとれないw

こういう匂いとか汚いこととか普段は嫌ですが、

エロすると興奮しちゃいます。

タバコとか臭いオジサンとのベロチューとか、臭い足を嗅ぐとか。

一線を越えてはいけないゾーンを一緒に追求できる変態なセフレが欲しいw

できれば年上リバ、SMどちらもできる人とか。

やっぱり両方できたほうが楽しい！

信号が青になったから1速に入れようと思い

クラッチペダルを踏んだらパンって音がしてペダルが踏み抜けた。

クラッチを切れないので当然ギアも入らない。

急いで妻のハンドルを握らせ、自分は後ろから車を押して路側帯へ。

ぎっくり腰がスーパー辛い。

「クラッチマスターシリンダーが逝ったな」と

直感でわかった。

エンジンを切り、ギアを1速に入れ、

セルモーターを回して押しがけの要領で発進。

1速だけでなんとか牽引できそうな広い場所へ移動した。

時刻はディーラーの営業時間外の朝9時。

ホンダの緊急ダイヤルに電話したらすぐお客様情報を

30分後にはレッカー車が来て、ディーラーに着いた頃には

もう営業時間になってた。

故障自体は不幸だったけど、

若い頃はオジサンの話がやたら長いのを不思議に思っていたけれども、いざ自分がオジサンになってから若い人と話すと「昔の流行の話をしたいけど、この人は世代的にたまごっち知ってるのかな…？一応説明するか」みたいな感じで無駄に長く話をしてしまう そもそも昔話を若者にしょっちゅうするのが間違いという説もある

Kai no Kiseki - Act 1 Part 3 English Summary

Table of Contents

Will Van Arkride beat the allegations?!

The scene opens at Viktor's place, where the group is enjoying a meal together. Yume expresses her regret at not having seen the live performance, while Dominique scolds Judith for forgetting the invitation. Paulette reassures everyone that Yume would benefit more from the live show than a rehearsal.

Yume then invites everyone but Judith to join her, prompting Judith to question why. Yume retorts that she is getting back at Judith for her forgetfulness.

Van glances at Nina, still reflecting on past events from Kuro 2, which confuses the others. Meanwhile, Risette feels somewhat isolated, as she has no relatives to contact due to her personal circumstances.

The group discusses recent mysterious disappearances, speculating that they may be linked to the space program. Rocksmith mentions that Kincaid has been avoiding Van but suggests it may not be out of hostility.

The conversation shifts to Gramheart who was said to be a military member who worked at the Republic’s embassy in Liberl and collaborated with Cassius Bright. Judith realizes that if Agnes is nearly 17 and Gramheart was in Liberl at the time of her birth, it raises questions.

Agnes confirms that her mother gave birth alone due to Gramheart's military obligations. Rocksmith concludes that Gramheart genuinely cares for his family and wants Calvard to thrive, even if his intentions remain unclear.

After the meal, Van changes his clothes and speaks with Elaine over the phone. Once finished, he changes back, as he needs to pick out a present for Agnes.

During free roam, Paulette is seen discussing with Maxim about asking her dad about something mentioned earlier.

Upstairs, Feri talks to Yume about the play. Judith finds herself overwhelmed by helicopter parents and begs Van for help, but he awkwardly distances himself, claiming he cannot assist her.

Aaron lounges on the couch, looking at inappropriate material, and deduces that Van is shopping for Agnes’s birthday gift. He offers to tag along, but Van dismisses his interest as none of his business.

Before entering a new district, Van notices a mysterious cat and decides to follow it, only to discover it is Jorda, who insists that he take on a 4SPG request of hers.

--

お兄ちゃん = Oniichan (written as Big Bro)

オジサン = Ojisan (written as unc here for funny)

Van readily accepts, leaving Jorda surprised by his impulsiveness. She comments that if their roles were reversed, she would have refused. Curious, she asks how Van plans to manage any police interference during the request. Van questions her concern, and Jorda sarcastically reveals she is a runaway living in the capital with her "Unc." Van finds her act amusing but questions the identity of this "Unc," noting he is not that old.

Jorda teasingly calls him "Big Bro," but Van quickly retorts that "Unc" may be the lesser evil.

While exploring, Van inquires why Jorda isn't wearing her jacket. She explains that it is summer, making it suspicious, and if she is not wearing it, she can perform "services" for her Unc later if he so desired. Van is disgusted and tells her that she should not be saying such things because she’s a minor, insisting that he is not an Unc.

At the bathhouse, Jorda notices Kisara’s artwork, and Van shares Kisara's backstory. When Jorda questions why they are at the bathhouse, Van humorously remarks that she must be dirty from her time in cat form and wearing the jacket. Jorda protests that she dislikes being around people, but Van encourages her by suggesting that a summer bath followed by vanilla gelato is worth it. Jorda's ears perk up at the mention of ice cream (milk gelato), and she reluctantly agrees to the bath.

Although uncomfortable at first, she begins to relax, and afterward, they enjoy ice cream together. Van enthusiastically praises his treat, while Jorda questions the point of bathing if they will get dirty again while patrolling. Van assures her they can always take another bath, but Jorda insists that her concerns are valid.

If Van chooses to enter the bathhouse again, Jorda will loosen up and eventually befriend Anya, the receptionist, who invites her to return anytime. Jorda blushes at the invitation, and Van feels pleased that she is starting to open up.

While at Montmart, Yume surprises Jorda with a hug, and Van offers to fetch her food. Initially refusing, Jorda is eventually coaxed into trying pudding. At the ASO, Van shows her around, but she refuses to interact with his friends.

At Riverside, Jorda expresses interest in idols at an underground live performance. Yun Ka-Fai also appears, curious about the idol group, which he finds inexperienced. Van explains that the group formed in response to the space program's popularity.

He begins to engage with the Vega party, showcasing their catchphrase, which impresses Jorda, who sees that he is not an ordinary person. Afterward, Yun Ka-Fai asks Jorda if she would consider becoming an idol.

Kisara can also be found saying that her friend dragged her to it.

At the car shop, Graham and Lucio discuss their car repairs and unite as one racing group to make a comeback. Kisara is also present at the live performance, feeling inspired that the atmosphere resembles her artistic process.

At Bermotti’s, Jorda is recognized by Bermotti, who questions how Van became involved with her. Van urges Bermotti not to pry into their situation. In a conversation with Rodhe and Thelma, Rodhe asks Jorda out, leaving her flustered.

Outside near the church, a woman approaches them, seeking help to find her lost cat. Although Jorda is reluctant to assist strangers, Van convinces her by framing it as a cat game and highlighting that 4SPGs often involve similar tasks. The woman explains that her cat went missing on the subway, and Van notes that crating pets would typically prevent such issues.

After a thorough search in Riverside, the duo finds the cat in the subway. Jorda almost gains the cat’s trust, but it panics when the subway doors begin to close, causing it to jump onto the tracks. Jorda uses her powers to rescue the cat, prompting Van to praise her ability to apply her skills effectively. He mentions that the cat already seems fond of her.

Surprised and blushing at his compliment, Jorda questions how the cat could feel comforted by someone with her past. They return the cat to the elderly lady, and Van praises Jorda again, leading her to find his constant compliments irritating. The woman rewards Jorda with a cinnamon candy.

Upon entering Central Station, Jorda expresses surprise at the lively atmosphere, even at night. Van indicates he wants to check out some 4SPGs and explore stores, likely to find a gift for Agnes. Jorda offers to join him but reminds him that their situation might raise eyebrows, as it would look suspicious for an underage girl to be alongside an older man. Van assures her he understands.

At the department store, Van is on a mission to find a gift for Agnes. Jorda, unaware that the gift is for Agnes at first, is asked by Van to help him choose something special. He prompts her to consider what it would feel like to receive a gift, but she struggles to provide ideas. She suggests sweets, but Van quickly dismisses that, stating he already gives those frequently. Jorda is left uncertain about what to suggest.

On the rooftop of the department store, Daswani and his daughter are stargazing. Jorda observes that Daswani's demeanor changes from his usual police persona when he’s being a doting father.

Inside a café, Van and Jorda encounter Marielle, who is attempting to write about a stage play but is feeling stuck. She informs Van that she plans to travel to Tharbad to meet Saara and Shahina. Marielle notices Jorda and questions Van about his intentions, implying that it looks suspicious for him to be with an underage girl.

Van insists he is merely engaged in a 4SPG. Marielle thinks to herself that she has her doubts.

Van receives a call from Fie, who inquires if she can borrow the ASO’s name for some 4SPGs. She cannot reveal why and when Van surmises it must be off the record, she agrees, hinting at some potential trouble. Fie warns him not to go out at night with minors before hanging up. Jorda remarks on how Fie could sense her presence despite being off camera during the call.

While talking to Marielle, they overhear her conversation with Reporter Nicole from Liberl, which mentions Nial and Dorothy and how the space program has created excitement in Liberl.

Upon entering the guild, Jorda refuses to enter and waits outside while Van speaks with Hazel. Hazel warns Van to stay alert for any renewed activity from underground forces. She also hints that he should report any interactions with high-risk individuals. Frustrated, Van wonders why everyone is scrutinizing him over Jorda.

Upstairs, Van finds Zin and Elaine at a table discussing Elaine's findings. Elaine is aware of Jorda outside and cautions Van against teaching her anything inappropriate at night, given she's a minor. Van, visibly annoyed, replies that he will not do anything bad.

At Trion Tower, Mishe (the sister) is hosting a show where the Mishy Show (written as Michey. Typo in Japanese?)

Jorda reflects on how she never had a typical childhood to enjoy and she doesn't think Mishy is all that.

Taking Jorda to watch the Mishy movie will actually reveal that she is super into Mishy and she dislikes that the movie they watched grossly mischaracterized him. Van even jokes that for someone who said they didn't like Mishy, she is very defensive.

Near the Verne store, Moira finally purchases Bart a T-phone but tells Van that they will be living paycheck to paycheck. Bart humorously assures Van that he will use the phone for homework, despite the playful tone and saying he was gonna play games on it at first.

Inside the store, Rashkar expresses his ambition to become a Bracer and is working on the necessary paperwork, planning to apply when he turns 16.

Near the observation tower, an announcement indicates that it is closing for the night. Van and Jorda reminisce about Kuro 2, and Jorda admits her dislike for heights. She also reflects on her past with Ixs, recalling how she was treated as the weaker of the two.

At the Liberl store, Van seeks souvenirs but finds himself thinking about what would suit Elaine better than Agnes. Jorda points out his indecisiveness, and Van explains that he only knows what his childhood friend likes, noting that Jorda does not understand the significance of birthdays. He ponders her upbringing and decides to postpone the gift hunt.

Rains is spotted at the store, preparing to take over for Lila.

---

Connect Event: Nina

In a connect event, Van is at the GR talking to Carlos, who expresses his desire to race again. While walking around, he sees a crowd gathered around a truck with a movie screen showcasing classic films. Among the crowd is Nina, wearing glasses as a disguise. They watch a film featuring Judith’s breakout role, and Nina shares that Judith inspired her to become an actress. She reveals that her friend applied for her position at Judith’s agency without her knowledge, leaving her surprised when she was accepted and got to work alongside her idol.

Van inquires about any obstacles Nina faced entering the entertainment business. Nina states that her parents were supportive, but Van remains skeptical, leading her to call him a bully for making her confess. She explains that she does not know her biological parents and that her ‘grandmother’ is the closest thing she has to a foster parent. Nina describes her childhood as emotionless and recounts how her grandmother encouraged her to be more expressive, which she struggled to understand due to her having a pre-destined mission. Van asks if it is wrong for a parent to support a dream, even if Nina has her own mission.

She recognizes herself as an ungrateful child toward her foster parent and thanks Van for helping her gain clarity.

As Nina leaves, Van expresses his excitement to see her in the play “Gloria.” Nina returns to the church, sharing her love for everything in the world before Ashladd opens the front door, informing her that preparations are complete. She mentions needing to take action to prevent the people she loves and the world from experiencing further turmoil.

Van and Jorda check the 4SPG board and notice that a man is seeking assistance. They call him out directly, identifying him as Henry Valentino, the minister of economy and trading. In the car, Henry expresses his surprise that Van Arkride is real, mentioning that he has heard a lot about him.

However, his attention shifts to Jorda, and Van clarifies that she is a temporary part-timer assisting him. Henry makes veiled threats about revealing what he is about to share, prompting Jorda to express her frustration, wishing she could use her powers on him. Van quickly intervenes, telling her not to do that.

Henry reveals that his son, Jeffrey, former leader of the Desire Gang and has recently been released on bail under house arrest. Despite this, Jeffrey has been sneaking out every night for the past month. Henry shares that he has tried locking his son in his room, but Jeffrey always finds a way to escape.

In the Levre district, Albert and his sister Odette enjoy cake and tea at a cake shop. Odette also questions Jorda being so young and hope Van isn’t doing anything bad.

Meanwhile, Van arrives at the Valentino residence, hoping to leave early, but he realizes he forgot to bring snacks. He curses the absence of Hermes Doordashing. Jorda offers him candy from the 4SPG, suggesting he could lick it, but Van quickly realizes that licking a candy ball from a kid’s hand is inappropriate.

While they stake out the house, Van encourages Jorda to open up about her feelings, particularly regarding Ixs. Jorda explains that their decision to join the Society was not entirely bad, as it meant they would not have to engage in meaningless killings anymore. They had access to infinite mira, but she and Ixs are now pursuing their own paths with differing perspectives. Jorda insists that she does not want to kill if it can be avoided. They spot Jeffrey as he leaves the house and head into the sewers to follow him.

In the sewers, Jorda continues her story, explaining that Ixs dismissed her claim about not needing to kill and deliberately increased the violence in their Society missions. Their disagreement over this issue led to their falling out. Just then, Van and Jorda are attacked by a monster reminiscent of one they encountered in the Blacklight District. Renne and Rixia jump in to save them, with Renne teasing Van if she’s interrupting his date with Jorda. The creature flees, leaving Van puzzled about how it found them and questioning Renne about her earlier comment, causing Jorda to blush.

They find Jeffrey, who has become involved with a cult that aims to transcend the current world and usher in a new dawn. In a shocking transformation, he becomes a monstrous robotic version of himself. Jorda prepares to attack him with her shadow but hesitates when she sees Ixs in the distance.

Time freezes for everyone except Van, who realizes that Mare has returned. He wonders how she could be present without Agnes, as she typically appears only with the Genesis or through Yume. Regardless, Van transforms into the Grendel and manages to knock sense into Jeffrey.

Just as Jeffrey is about to be assassinated by an unknown person, it is revealed to be Ixs, and he mocks Jorda about her new part-time job with Van and teleports away with a white Genesis, having been behind everything and the giant robotic monster lurking in the Blacklight District.

Kincaid arrives shortly afterward, and Van scolds him for inaction. He presses Kincaid about what the CID and the President are concealing, but Kincaid merely states it is a top national secret and mentions that the appropriate authorities, including the guild and police, have been notified. He leaves the scene, and Jorda teleports away to gather her thoughts. Van asks Renne if she can stay for the next day, but she declines, saying that Agnes will have to suffice in her absence.

Act 1 Finally Finished!
