GOT THE HACHI MACHI TATTOO BAYBEEEEEE ‼️‼️‼️🩵🩵🩵

[l0stn3v3rf0und]

ROTTMNT: The Baron’s Assistants AU! Leonardo!

Its Nardo time!

Like his original couterpart, Leo is charismatic and the most flamboyant out of his brothers, making him the most dramatic antagonist you’ve ever met.

But, despite his constant talk about how great he is, he rarely gets any attention or validation from The Baron, causing him to feel insecure, and the need to stand out.

Little fucker-

AU MASTERPOST

[adachimoe]

absolutely random ass references being made in p4

the legend of seiryu

i posted about chie's dvd being named "seiryu densetsu" with seiryu having a double meaning for jackie chan's name before, but i was unaware that "seiryu densetsu" was also an actual japanese tv drama. in fact, it was about a female martial artist of sorts, so naturally chie would be interested in it. the official english title seems to be "the legend of st dragon".

tanken boku no machi

in japanese, when kanji appears on the midnight channel, his "show" is called "hatten boku no machi". this is named after a children's show called "tanken boku no machi" meaning "exploring my town". kanji's show replaces tanken (explore) with hatten, a japanese slang term for gay sex, usually referring to men.

wizardry

after you destroy shadow mitsuo's hero mecha, it starts rebuilding it by using the skills "whisper, chant, pray". these are all references to wizardry. based on what i was told, this is an incantation you say to revive someone at the temple, so it's like shadow mitsuo is saying it to revive the mecha.

dragon quest

void quest also has references to dragon quest. the "orb of darkness" is named after the "orb of light" from dq. the mecha uses the spell "gigadyne", which is a reference to the similar sounding dragon quest spell, "gigadein". (in english, apparently "gigadein" is known as "kazap".) additionally, when you get the protag's gaia sword, you talk to a corpse on the ground and it references the "theres no response, it's [xxx]" message that appears in dragon quest when you interact with things.

yashichi from mito komon

the single target and aoe wind damage items you can buy from shiroku are called the kazaguruma and the yashichi. kazaguruma just means pinwheel or windmill, so that's a straightforward translation. meanwhile, yashichi is a name, but it being used here is a reference that goes hand in hand w/pinwheels. on the historical drama mito komon, there's a ninja character named "pinwheel yashichi" or "kazaguruma no yashichi", so named because he carries around red pinwheels that he wields as shurikens.

big g

i'm a bad asian ive never actually watched doraemon lol

when the protagonist agrees to help yosuke work at junes over summer break, he calls the protagonist his bestest bro ever. in japanese, this phrase, 心の友, is apparently associated with the character gian / big g from doraemon.

when yosuke hands it to kanji for his inspirational speech after morooka dies, he says talking big despite just being kanji. this is another phrase attributed with gian / big g who says it in both a complimentary and mocking way to nobita.

norimaki senbei

in golden, one of the snacks you can get during the night time shopping district hangouts from yukiko, kanji, naoki, or daisuke is called the seaweed cracker, and the description says something about "penguins". in japanese, this is called the norimaki senbei. norimaki senbei does mean "seaweed cracker", and it also happens to be the name of a character on dr. slump made by akira toriyama (rip) which takes place in "penguin" village.

tankiriman and neclos fortress

during one of the fox quests, you get a sticker from nanako called the tankiriman sticker, and the description talks about 8 heroes defeating the dark lord. the name "[xx]riman" and the bit about the 8 heroes are both references to snacks made by lotte.

"tankiriman" and it being a sticker are references to "bikkuriman", a series of chocolate wafers that comes with bonus stickers. (presumably, nanako gave you the bonus sticker that came w/the snacks.)

then "tankiri" and the "eight heroes" thing is a reference to a boxed candy that came with little figures called "neclos fortress" which took place in the kingdom of tankiri and featured 8 heroes.

[our-happygirl500-fan]

Leo isn’t the first Ninja that Ben Schwartz has voiced as Ben Schwartz has voiced Randy in RC9GN years prior to Rise & there are some subtle references to Ben Schwartz’s role as Randy throughout Rise

Randy: h'uhhhh boy

Leo: h'uhhhh boy

Both Randy & Leo say the phrase h'uhhhh boy when in stressful situations. 

Randy: Hachi machi! What the juice is that?

Leo: I'll use my ultra-reliable portalling sword to get us there. Hachi machi!

When Randy sees a portal to the land of shadows he says the phrase ‘hachi machi’ which would later become a phrase that Leo says when attempting to use his portal powers

Randy: Ninja block!

Leo: Ninja Crawl Jitsu!

Randy has a habit of of yelling out his moves while saying ‘ninja’ in front of the move he was doing which Leo does as well in the episode Flushed But Never Forgotten 

[yourwormfriend]

Chapter 18 is up!!! Yippee!!

[jupejumble]

go read this, its silly

[happydachi]

Chapter 4 is up!

[monosanimegenericzone]

yes!

they like what the world has made, not necessarily the people in it! cultures happen to fall under the former so they'll gladly indulge!

machi is dressed in a modern take of a shinobi outfit? i can't find the exact name for it but it's a ninja outfit, allegedly. that and she wears tabi (the shoes with the split in the middle) so definitely japanese XD

ALSO LMAO UVO JUST BEING AN ENIGMA XD. im so there for it honestly.

chinese fei idea comes from his outfit in the two panels of the 3 year timeskip we get. from the shots we get it looks similar to a chinese tang suit (a modern take on the traditional tang) (also forgive me im not chinese so i dont know the correct terms and im praying google doesn't lead me astray).

at least thats where the idea came for me lol.

Hunter x Hunter: Troupe Lineage

specifically feitan and phinks

and a little nobunaga

so we dont know for sure what nationality feitan is. but i speculate that phinks is half egyptian.

and i think he and his bros went to investigate their cultural roots during the three year gap. they dont have access to blood related lineage so they jump straight to like- a human historian who's good at identifying race based on facial features or common genetic phenomena.

(and yes this world doesnt have one to one for races but bear with me)

feitan discovers he's chinese, nobunaga discovers he's japanese, and phinks discovers he's half egyptian.

the other two have a good idea where they're from but phinks has absolutely no idea what a fuckin egypt is.

and thus begins a deep dive into learning about his heritage and he becomes a huge nerd about it. like i think thats why his ass wasn't there for the 3 year meeting. he got fuckin lost in the desert. my guy actually got swarmed by the pharaohs.

he came out with treasure, several snake bites and a cool fit idea that he was determined to use when he got older.

anyway i think these three would be very interested in their natural cultural heritage and do some offscreen character development.

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

LET MACHI AND YUKI HAVE A MOMENT FFS!!!!

[ssoftwaves]

on god?

[gncedgeworth]

Hi!! I just found your ao3, and I love your writing, it’s fantastic!! I hope your shift gets better <3

My favorite homemade hc is that Miles is haunted by the ghost of himself as a little kid, like a poltergeist of everything he killed in himself to survive under von karma, and it’s a Menace

WAAWAWAWA THIS SINGLE-HANDEDLY MADE MY DAY BETTER T-T thank you so so much!!! it always makes me happy to hear that people enjoy my writing, i love sharing it!!!

AND,,,,BRO YOUR HC,,,OH MY GOD THATS SO GOOD. IM. WOWZERS THAT HURTS BUT THAT IS SO GOOD

[bluepeachstudios]

you have any possible bonding activities you think the fusions would do in their downtime (that wont spoil the fic, of course)? i think daphy should teach mikey how to make fireworks :) fun explosion instead of attention-drawing property damage explosion

Oh god I could go on a long, long thing about this.

If we're talking about the fun thing that Mikey promised Daphy, I shan't be spoiling what it is they do :x Leo is also involved but yeah it involves fireworks.

Pheo likes just. Being around Mikey and Donnie, the same way he likes just being around Deangelo! He doesn't relax easily, he's almost nearly always in "go-mode" out of habit. Donnie and Mikey help him get into that relaxed place. They like watching movies and Pheo does some teaching by sparring them. He feels most confident in his fighting skills, so that's what he tries to help them with. Mikey especially likes snuggling up in Pheo's arms (as the babiest of brothers with the second eldest of them). Pheo, much like Leo, likes to listen to Donnie and Mikey both talk. He's got enough Leo in him where if you get him on the right subject, he'll also start talking a lot, but that Raph in him makes him horribly shy about doing it, so he needs to be nudged to continue.

Deangelo thinks Raph and Leo are the coolest people to ever exist. He will talk all day to both of them. Leo and Deangelo talking is like neurodivergent communication going on and Raph feels very left out when they do talk. Deangelo likes sparring with Raph a lot! Dea relies a lot more on speed and precision than he does on brute force, so learning from Raph is a nice change of pace. He likes to snuggle with Pheo, too. Honestly I think all the fusions wouldn't mind snuggling with Pheo, but they don't get to meet each other face to face.

Mio plays games with Raph and Donnie and will win at anything they can get him to play (except chess, which is so boring that he gives up about halfway through). He loves reading comic books and watching space heroes and being creative! He's not very good at drawing, but he enjoys it anyway. Mio is the most likely to want to watch a tv show or movie. He'll watch just about anything, but Space Heroes is his absolute favorite. He also loves moving around a lot. Daphy and him hand out and bond by Mio hovering over Daphy while he works. He and Daphy will talk to each other a lot, and though Daphy has a very short temper, he's always exceedingly patient for Mio.

Daphy of course likes to build things. They're often destructive things, but it's because he likes the flashiness, the energy that gets released, having a big impact on something. Daphy's a little hard to get into without spoilers if I'm being honest, but he gets along much better with Mikey than he does Leo, even if Mikey does annoy him sometimes. Leo and him have a bit of an awkward relationship because of Daphy's actions, and the fact that Daphy doesn't treat Leo like the leader. Usually their bonding time is silent but close. They read books next to each other. That sort of thing.

Lonny loves designing things. If Raph and Mikey have an idea for it, he can draw it out for them. They're not always the most realistic designs, but the AESTHETICS. Lonny calms down once he has something to focus on, so usually they do targeted activities with him, like playing a game or watching movies. Mikey likes to lay on him (he is the tallest of the fusions) and Raph likes to spar with him. Lonny tends to freeze up with indecision and Raph gets that, so it's nice and helpful.

Machiel is a SNUGGLER. He doesn't care what you're doin, as long as he can snuggle, he'll be happy. He also wants to DO stuff. He wants to go out and beat up some foot bots or go hunting through the junkyard or go hop rooftops or sneak into a movie theater or something. He and Leo bond by sparring, which is off-putting for Leo because Machiel doesn't fight like a normal ninja should, but it's good practice! Donnie often gets overwhelmed quickly by Machiel, but Machiel asks questions and Donnie's happy to answer.

Machiel and Lonny interacting is another spoiler <3 but as you can see, I went on and this was just simple stuff. Enjoy fusion lore?? :'D

[animeyanderelover]

Hello🌹

With s/o that can manipulate time (return to the past, the future, stop or slow down time) and revive people

But the only problem (for boys) is that it's not a nen or chakra ability so no one can steal her abilities

urapika, Chrollo, Machi, Itachi, madara , jiraiya thank you 🌹

That's a useful ability if you want to avoid meeting your Yandere. They probably know that as well.

Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, possessiveness, obsessiveness, delusions, manipulation, sabotage, stalking, paranoia, overprotective behavior

s/o can manipulate time

Madara Uchiha

🌑It isn’t everyday that Madara is met with the pleasure of someone as powerful as his darling and it is more the power that attracts him than any sort of romantic feelings. Pure power with the ability to manipulate time and bring back the death. It is mostly angering for him to know that this isn’t something he can learn either, though he does consider the possibility that this is a kekkai genkai rather than a special jutsu. With that being said, figuring out that you don’t use any chakra at all for this technique is even more surprising for him. Normally all sort of jutsus are done with chakra, but you have seemed to find another way. Madara isn’t really going to ask politely how you do this, he’s naturally more intimidating when asking you what exactly you use.

🌑There is some sort of reverence established for Madara once he gets to experience the powers of his darling in action and honestly, it thrilled him to witness their power. How in the mere blink of an eye a whole group of ninja had been taken down without you having even moved, turning out later on that you stopped time around you and made yourself the only one able to move. He wants that power more than anything, though with time he finds himself more and more attracted to his darling as well.

🌑One of the very few times where it becomes very difficult for him to control you due to your grip on time, you could easily erase everything between you two like it never happened and since he isn’t the best in hiding his possessive and controlling side, you mock him about it simply because you can. His clan most likely tells him to be on his best behavior, just as excited with the thought of having someone like you around. It would make their clan as good as unbeatable if you would ever decide to share the secret of your powers. Madara and his darling would make an extremely fearsome duo if they ever do decide to join forces.

Jiraiya

🐸He’s been traveling around a lot in his life and he has seen a lot of different types of jutsus before and yet it will be for him the first time as well that he hears from someone who is rumored to be able to control time in her favor itself, a fearsome ability. Time is something that shouldn’t be abused. One that every single village would be after if this rumor continues to spread out and so Jiraiya decides to try to track you down as quickly as possible before someone else can. He has a wide system of spies on his side in form of all his ninken he can summon and they collect for him information so he can pinpoint your location quicker. The moment he gets to know you and does one of his flashy introductions, he doesn’t appear all that worried. In reality he is quite a bit, curious yet cautious what exactly your intentions and goals are.

🐸As long as he doesn’t sense any potential threat in you and you are ready to listen to why he is here, the first meeting will be surprisingly pleasant. He’ll offer to share his food or invite you to a place in a village if there is one near. Given the fact that his darling is a woman it is kind of obvious that he tries to check her out a bit, though the moment you notice that you might want to smack him for good. Otherwise he’ll appear quite fun at first, drinking and telling some sort of stories to help you letting your guard down around him before becoming more serious.

🐸He probably doesn’t have to warn you that you will be wanted everywhere for your powers, you know that already. But he wishes to know what your plans are and as long as it doesn’t involve harming the Leaf, he’ll be fine to let you leave. Probably the first one to ever hear that you don’t even use chakra for your time sabotage. But as long as his darling indeed wants to stay neutral and not do anything against the Leaf, he will keep all that he finds out a top secret which he probably only shares with Tsunade. It takes a bit to fall for his s/o, though his perverted side tend to take interest quickly. But overall he would let his darling continue to go her way, communicating through his toads when he desires seeing her again. Even with his light-hearted attitude around her, he still has mad respect for her.

Itachi Uchiha

🍡He knows better than underestimating his darling, though his protective side never fully vanishes either. To be honest, he got slight chills when he happened to get to know the rumors, the Akatsuki knowing people and having their connections to find out such highly interesting things. Itachi is on the same side as Jiraiya in that case, time isn’t something that people can just use as they please and even if he thinks shortly what he would do if he had such powers, he throws that thought quickly away. It isn’t his power to use and changing time could have drastic consequences. If the Akatsuki find out, they would obviously get interested in recruiting you as a new member. When you two happened to bump into each other for the first time, Itachi was somewhat warily, not really knowing how to feel to meet someone who could erase all his sins at once.

🍡His initial doubts that you might be full of yourself and use your powers to your advantage only we’re proved wrong though. Instead you were humble, friendly and very kind which made him feel more at ease and you two talked for a while after with him sharing the offer of the Akatsuki which had you laughing and shaking your head, refusing for good reasons. You knew that such people would only want to use your powers for their own goals and you weren’t that kind of person. This was something Itachi could fully accept, respecting your decision and promising to tell no one of the members. Because if you didn’t want to join them and instead would choose to fight alongside a ninja village, you would be deemed a very big threat who could literally undo all of their work. After that talk of you two, you went separate ways and Itachi had his doubts you would meet again, but you did.

🍡And since you were one of the very few persons who seemed to accept him for who he was and entrusted him with the fact that you didn’t use chakra, Itachi trusted you in return just as much as you did. He probably wouldn’t lock his darling away this time, not if she can stop and turn back time like this (unless you want that for some reason). But he knows you’ll be safe out there. To be completely honest, sometimes it really seems to kill him when he imagines that you could change his whole life and end his endless suffering and he confesses these thoughts to you as well which sometimes overwhelm him. Be assured he would never use your powers so selfishly though. It’s only his imagination, the past shouldn’t be played around with. And when he crumbles like this he really needs your comfort since you should know best what might happen if time is changed and that you possibly had already unpleasant experiences.

Kurapika Kurta

⛓Kurapika has probably a harder time than Itachi does with his conflicting feelings about this. You see, the very first time he ever heard about a person who supposedly can revive the dead, he shortly lost it. He’s fixated on somehow bringing his clan back, but so far that never really seemed possible. After all no one can change the past, right? Right? Wrong! There is someone and best belief that whoever told that rumor that he hears about will be questioned thoroughly by him, a sudden intensity about Kurapika that has his eyes slowly turning red. This is better not a joke or otherwise he will be pissed. You could say he almost started having an obsession with you even then, spending almost restless nights in search for the person who could end his loneliness, revive people and even change the past. The darling could easily end all of his suffering.

⛓Yet you weren’t willing to do this for him when he finally had found you, instantly approaching you and almost begging you to help him with his problem. As someone who knows the importance of time and your powers you have your reasons to refuse, but it is hard reasoning with Kurapika whose only real chance of finding full peace again is suddenly taken away from him like this. Simply because you do not wish to use your powers like this. There comes a hell lot of responsibility with your skills and you clearly were able to sense the obsession this man had with his plans. To say that Kurapika was furious would be an understatement, he wanted to force you to help him, threatening to take away your ability to use nen at all. Until you presented him smoothly with the fact that you didn’t use any. Caught him by surprise and the first second he thought you were bluffing, though he didn’t feel like you were lying.

⛓Trying to use his chains should give him the confirmation and after you literally just vanished in front of his eyes, madness turned into heartbreak. The only chance he had to bring his clan back, broken just like this. It was unbelievably frustrating to the point where he wanted to cry. The chain user didn’t expect you to come back, though I can’t say he won’t give up on searching for you. You’re literally the only hope he has. Instead you came to him, feeling sympathy for someone who just wanted desperately his family back. Yet his darling had to explain a lot to him. He refused to listen his first, but with time carved in due to acceptance that he couldn’t force you. You still stayed, believing that he needed a friend. Admiration for that turned in time into love, paranoia and obsession, the boy fearing that someone else would hunt you down. Not dumb enough that you’ll let yourself get kidnapped just like this, though he tries to manipulate you into staying more isolated.

Chrollo Lucilfer

📖Chrollo isn’t someone to be easily impressed. He is the leader of the Phantom Troupe, has a good amount of abilities stored up himself in his book and has met tons of other people with impressive Nen abilities. But he is a thief, meaning that as soon as he is presented with the opportunity to steal a good Nen power, he will do that. Bring part of the underworld and yet being able to blend with his charming behavior perfectly in public in as well, he overheard rumors about the s/o wiry their unbelievably powerful ability as well. Caught his interest quickly and whether it was through him charming the person or using his more intimidating side of the person wasn’t willing to talk at first, he presses the knowledge eventually out of them. He starts a little obsession over the s/o as well long before letting her, especially if he hears she doesn’t even use Nen.

📖It’s a bit challenging to find you, but that’s what Chrollo expects. Otherwise it would be boring and the first time he approaches you in disguise in public, he looks genuinely forward to how you are as a person with your mighty skills. The quickest word coming to his mind would be very wise, no wonder for the one who is able to change time however she wishes. You still seem to mistrust this gentleman in front of you which he expected as well since you definitely have a lot of people after you. Still though, the main reason he came here in the first place was because he wanted to check whether the rumor of you using Nen or not was true. Trying to steal your ability was no use and before he even knew it, he was the one tied up with you standing over him and asking him with a fake smile who he exactly was. Fascinating, so this was your ability to let time flow however you wanted.

📖Apologizes later on for attempting to steal your ability, though he doesn’t mean it sincerely. He did it to satisfy his own curiosity and now that you managed to make yourself so interesting he doesn’t want to lose the chance to figure you out more. It’s been too long since there was someone who gave him a challenge. Chrollo views his darling as highly fascinating and in the end it is exactly that what makes him so possessive. His darling herself is with her ability a treasure itself, worth even more when counting in the fact that she doesn’t even use Nen, a secret he still tries to solve. Chrollo is a smart individual so he knows that you can easily escape, though he knows that turning back time so rumors never spread and he never finds you is something you might hesitate over. It would be a burden to change the past, the present and the future like this. Yet he tries through all possible manipulation and gaslighting to convince you to join him. This treasure is only his.

Machi Komacine

🪡Her story might start similarly to Chrollo’s. Her leader hears the rumors of a person who doesn’t use Nen yet is in possession of one of the most powerful abilities ever, becomes intrigued with it and sends the members of the Troupe out to find this mysterious stranger. And since Machi is fiercely loyal and follows Chrollo’s orders, she’ll do exactly as she is told. Trying to gather intel on the target and inform the others as soon as possible. It’s hard to find a clue since someone with that power is careful to whom they show their face and whom they let in on their secret, after all you can not trust everyone. But Machi can count on her hunches, she is quite often right about them and as soon as she is presented with a few broken pieces of information, she gets a good idea where to search for next.

🪡But what she really didn’t expect was to meet you personally so quickly. And you knew that she was trying to find out stuff about you which obviously made you wonder what the woman wanted to have to do with you. Hopefully not the common things where she wanted you to help her with your abilities and join her. The Phantom Troupe member on the other hand wasn’t as relaxed as the s/o was, bring a bit on guard around someone rumored to be so incredibly strong, though you didn’t give her the feeling that you would kill her at any moment. After having judged you silently for a while, she eventually decided to tell you that she had been sent from someone who was interested in meeting you and that she wanted you to come with her. After challengingly asking her what would happen if you would refuse and her harsh answer that she would drag you there unconscious if that was what it took, you just replied amused that you had just been joking.

🪡Pretty relaxed when Chrollo attempted to steal your abilities to see whether you really used Nen or not with a negative result, something that made Machi respect you. You friendly refused the offer Chrollo made you afterwards to join him, saying that you valued your freedom, but had no intention of getting in their way either. The story could have ended there, but since Machi and you had traveled quite a bit together to meet up with Chrollo, you had started bonding with her. It takes Machi a while to call you her friend and a bit longer until she is in love, but once she is expect her loyalty and respect for your unmatched powers, even if she still is brash with her words. Isn’t interested in asking favors because of your abilities which is something you admire about her. Chrollo is pleased when he finds out because he knows that even if you aren’t part of the Troupe, you are some sort of ally since Machi is your girlfriend.

Ace Attorney 20th Anniversary Character Poll (and how to participate in it!)

Hey there. If you haven’t heard the news, Weekly Famitsu Magazine (a Japanese gaming magazine which has, historically, been where many new ace attorney games are announced) is going to have an article releasing on October 21st featuring Ace Attorney for the upcoming 20th Anniversary.

This is pretty decent news, I think, though we don’t know yet if there’s going to be a new game announcement or any other sort of news. What is confirmed is that they’re going to run a fan poll where you can vote on your favorite characters, cases, and Payne hairstyles, among other things.

This does not ask for personal information, and as far as I can tell, you don’t need to be in Japan to respond. The poll is, however, solely in Japanese, and I assume they’re expecting answers in Japanese as well. I took the liberty with the help of google translate to attempt to make a rough translation of the poll, and you can follow along with this and fill it out yourself if you wish! Keep in mind this may not necessarily be extremely accurate, because google translate, and if anyone knows better than I do, please do correct me!

The poll closes September 30th 2021 11:59 PM Japan time - so there’s not a lot of time to fill it out!

Here’s a link to the poll. The questions are under the cut.

Also, keep in mind that this will address characters that appear in all of the games, though no major plot spoilers are present.

I recommend using google translate on the webpage if you can, it makes things a bit easier to navigate. I didn’t put the Japanese phrases next to the translated answers, since there was no option to copy+paste, so it would take up too much of my time - I can if someone really wants me to, though. Don’t solely rely on google translate though, as sometimes it will do things like translate “Naruhodo Ryunosuke” to “Phoenix Wright”.

As well, for some things like character responses, you may want to double-check their names on the wiki, just in case I got something wrong (which is quite likely.)

Here’s the translation:

----

The weekly Famitsu November 4, 2021 issue (released October 21, 2021) features a special article on "Ace Attorney," which celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series! Among them, we will carry out an “Ace Attorney” series fan questionnaire. Please answer whatever questions you can.

There are 20 questions in total. If it takes too much time to fill in, the input may be reset, so if you feel that your answers are going to be long, we recommend that you prepare a separate text and copy and paste it.

Please note that answers to the questionnaire may be excerpted and edited and introduced in the weekly Famitsu, Famitsu.com, and other media operated by our company (KADOKAWA Game Linkage Co., Ltd.). 

* In the page, "The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures" may be described as "Great Ace Attorney 1", and "The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve" may be described as "Great Ace Attorney 2”.

The deadline for responses is 23:59 on Thursday, September 30, 2021.

QUESTION 1

ペンネ���ム（必須）

(Pen name (Required))

This is a free response question, so answer whatever you want your pen name to be.

QUESTION 2

性別（必須)

(Gender (Required))

This has three options, which are, in order: Male, Female, or Prefer Not To Answer.

QUESTION 3

年齢（必須）

(Age (Required))

The options are, in order:

Under 10

10s

20s

30s

40s

50s

60s

70+

CHARACTER QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1

Q1.『逆転』シリーズの中からもっとも好きなキャラクターを教えて！(最大3名まで記入可)

“Tell us your favorite character in the Ace Attorney series! You can fill in up to three people.”

The following questions have a small free response box where you can put in the character’s name. Underneath that, in the larger free response box, you explain your reason. I’d recommend going onto the ace attorney wiki page of your favorite characters, going to the “names in other languages” tab, and then copy-pasting that name in there. If you’re avoiding the wiki because of spoilers right now, you can either send me an ask asking for the name and I’ll try to get back to you asap, or ask a friend who is not avoiding it.

You don’t *need* to fill out the explanation section if you’re not confident in your Japanese and don’t want to risk it being thrown out if it’s in English. You could try google translate, but keeping it simple would probably be best, otherwise it may come out weird.

QUESTION 2

Q2.『逆転』シリーズで好きな弁護士は？(メインキャラクター編)

“Who is your favorite defense attorney in the “Ace Attorney” series? (Main character edition)”

This is a selection box where the options are, in order:

Phoenix Wright

Mia Fey

Apollo Justice

Athena Cykes

Ryunosuke Naruhodo

The free response section below asks for you to give “A word on your favorite point”, which… I have no idea what that actually means. Sorry. Someone who actually knows Japanese, get back to me on that. It may be explaining why they’re your favorite, or it may be ... talking about pointing, it’s hard to tell with this series.

The next few questions (3-8) follow a similar format with the question then free response, so I will focus on the questions for each one.

QUESTION 3

Q3.好きな弁護士は？(サブキャラクター編)

QUESTION 9

Q9.キャラクターの仕草(アニメーション)で印象深いものとその理由を教えて！(成歩堂龍一の滝のような汗、成歩堂龍之介の泳ぐ目、御剣怜侍の礼など)

“Please tell us which game has the best character animation (Phoenix Wright’s sweat, Ryunosuke Naruhodo’s darting eyes, Miles Edgeworth’s bow, etc.) and why?”

Selection box options in order:

Ace Attorney 1

Justice for All

Trials and Tribulations

Apollo Justice

Dual Destinies

Spirit of Justice

Ace Attorney Investigations

Ace Attorney Investigations 2

The Great Ace Attorney

The Great Ace Attorney 2

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney

Then in the free response portion you can talk about your favorite animation and why it is your favorite. If you think you can do that. I just put in my favorite by searching up the character name and trying to google translate the pose, which may not be effective, but you can give it a try.

QUESTION 10

Q10.好きな“珍名”キャラクターを教えて！(小中大、星威岳哀牙、コゼニー・メグンダル、ジョバンニ・ジコールなど)

“Please tell us your favorite pun name! (Redd White, Luke Atmey, Magnus McGilded, Carmine Accidenti, etc.)”

First you select the game it’s from, I think, which are in order:

Ace Attorney 1

Justice for All

Trials and Tribulations

Apollo Justice

Dual Destinies

Spirit of Justice

Ace Attorney Investigations

Ace Attorney Investigations 2

The Great Ace Attorney

The Great Ace Attorney 2

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney

Then in the free response you give the name. Again a situation of finding the character you want on the wiki and copy+pasting the name into there. This might be a little odd because of the pun names being different in English and Japanese, so proceed with your own discretion, I guess. (For instance, if “Rei Membami” is your favorite pun name for some reason, this would be very odd because “Haori Murasame”, her original name, is not a pun... looking at the name explanation sections on the wiki might be a good idea. If you’re totally not sure, you can pick one of the examples.)

GAME QUESTIONS

QUESTION 11

Q11.印象深い事件は？(最大3つまで記入可)

“Which is the most impressive case? (Up to three can be entered)”

The order of the cases is:

The First Turnabout

Turnabout Goodbyes

Rise from the Ashes

The Lost Turnabout

Reunion and Turnabout

The First Story

Since that is a LOT to navigate, use the Japanese to help you. The games are laid out pretty simply: if you know the game and case, you can find it pretty quickly. It goes mainline -> Investigations -> TGAA -> PLvsAA. Mainline Ace Attorney games are 逆転裁判 followed by a number corresponding to which entry it is, with the exception of the first game (which is first on the list anyways). Investigations games start with 逆転検事 and followed with a 2 for investigations 2. Great Ace Attorney starts with  大逆転裁判 with a 2 for Resolve, and Layton vs Ace Attorney is  レイトン教授 VS 逆転裁判. After the game title you can find the case number.

For some reason, Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice’s DLC cases don’t seem to be on this list. Sorry if those are your favorites. Maybe yell in the free response box about that.

MISC QUESTIONS

QUESTION 12

Q12.触ってみたいのはどれ？

“Which of the following do you want to touch?”

The options are, in order:

Phoenix Wright’s Spiky Hair

Miles Edgeworth’s Frilly Cravat

Apollo Justice’s Sparkling Forehead

Dahlia Hawthorne’s Fluttery Butterfly

Lotta Hart’s Fluffy Hair

Kazuma Asogi’s Fluttering Headband

Golden Professor Layton

And there’s an option for “other” below.

QUESTION 13

Q13.食らってみたいのはどれ？

Google translate says this is “which do you want to eat” - I think it’s more like. “What do you want to be hurt by?” or something.

The options are, in order:

Oldbag’s Ray Gun

Steel Samurai Spear

Edgeworth’s Salary Assessment (aka a salary cut)

Franziska von Karma’s Whip

Godot’s Thrown Coffee

Simon Blackquill’s Finger Sword

Justine Courtney’s Extending Gavel

Susato Takedown

Barok van Zieks’ Heel Drop

And then you have a free response section to explain why... if you want.

QUESTION 14

Q14.以下の中で味わってみたいものはどれ？

“Which of the following would you like to taste?”

The options are, in order:

Dee Vasquez’s T-Bone Steak

The Cough-Up Queen’s Lunchbox

Godot Blend No. 107

Jean Armstrong’s Authentic (?) French Lunchset

Victor Kudo’s Birdseed

Detective Gumshoe’s Weenie Bento Box

Violetta’s Tea

Coldkiller X

Guy Eldoon’s Salty Noodles

Whet Noodle’s Soba

Dane Gustavia’s Candy

La Carneval’s Beefsteak

Van Zieks’ Holy Grail

For some reason they don’t offer you the option to justify your choice with this one.

QUESTION 15

Q15.ハシゴ派？　キャタツ派？

“Ladder or stepladder?”

The options are “ladder” and then “stepladder”. You have the option to put something else if you’re a heathen.

QUESTION 16

Q16.好きな亜内一族のヘアスタイルは？

“What is your favorite Payne Family Hairstyle?”

Options are:

Ace Attorney 1 and 2’s “73 hairs”

Ace Attorney 3’s full set of hair

Ace Attorney 4’s “hair only on the sides”

Ace Attorney 5 and 6’s Gaspen Payne Hair [idk what this actually says sorry]

The Great Ace Attorney 1’s chonmage

The Great Ace Attorney 2’s “sprout of hope”

Then you can put in a word about your feelings about the Paynes in the free response.

QUESTION 17

Q17.好きなBGMとその理由を教えて！

“Which is your favorite BGM and why?”

This is a free response so you’ll need to track down the song name itself… good luck with that. Then you can explain why in the free response section… even more good luck with that. The wiki does have the soundtracks of the games in English and Japanese, I believe, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

PLAYER MEMORIES SECTION

QUESTION 18

Q18.『逆転』シリーズで泣いたことはある？　それはどんな場面？(※何度も泣いた人は、もっとも泣いたシーンをお答えください)

“Have you ever cried during the Ace Attorney series? If so, at which scene? (* For people who have cried many times, pick the scene you cried at the most.)”

The first option is a “yes” or “no” for if you’ve cried or not.

The second option is again picking a case, which I don’t feel like writing out again, but it’s in the same order as in question 11. Then in the free response you write what scene you cried in with that case. You could try finding the dialogue - this thread https://forums.court-records.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29682 has a place to download the dual japanese and english scripts for most games except for aai2 and the great ace attorney games. For those ones... good luck.

QUESTION 19

Q19.開発してほしい『逆転裁判』グッズはある？(逆転裁判凡例つき六法全書とかなるほどくんのヘアワックス、考える人型の彫像時計など)※グッズ化が実現するわけではありません。

“Do you have any “Ace Attorney” merchandise you’d like us to develop? (Ace Attorney-themed law books, Phoenix Wright’s hair gel, a clock shaped like the Thinker statue, etc.) *This does not mean it will be made into merchandise”

This is a free response section, so good luck explaining, again.

And finally:

QUESTION 20

Q20.開発スタッフに向けて、お祝いのメッセージをお願いします。

“Give a congratulatory message to the development staff!”

If you don’t know what to put here, you can just copy and paste the following:

20周年おめでとうございます!

Which just says “Congratulations on the 20th anniversary!” I think. If I got it wrong, it’s hopefully not horrendously offensive. If you tried to type your answers and have no confidence in your Japanese, you can input “日本語は話せません”, “I don’t speak Japanese”, though they may have figured that out already.

And with that the survey is done and you can submit! We’ll see the results in October. Thanks for following along!
