Am I the only person who cares about these minor TGAA characters? Maybe so.

Drew Daley as Alan Davies on Taskmaster cause I thought they had similar energies

This guy didn't deserve to have his job stripped from him

I just feel the need to shout into the void that I love Daley Vigil!! There’s a woefully small amount of fanart and fics (that I am very grateful for) but that won’t stop my inexplicable love for the man!

Thank You, Great Ace Attorney!

This was a wonderful game. From the music, storytelling, the characters, the art, and the wonderful combination of East and West. I haven't cried in a video game since Kingdom Hearts 3. This was just so wonderful. 

I loved this cast. Everything about this was just so well done. I am going to miss them, but their story is done. I’ll take all of the lessons, journeys, and skills with me. I’m still writing a story about them, but I'm going to miss playing this game. Well, thank you,  Great Ace Attorney. It was truly a wonderful game till the end. I’ll hopefully see you all again, Gina, Maria, Barok, Yujin, Everyday, Benjamin, Tobias, Haori, Sherlock, Iris, Susato, and Ryunosuke. Until then, goodbye! I'll be on the next adventure, but I'll never forget you!

Jezaille Brett/Asa Shinn - The Devil

Leaked DGS2 Localised Names

Following on from my previous post (here), last month’s leaks also contained the localised names of the characters who debuted in Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2. Beware of potential spoilers, especially since the existence of certain characters in this game is a spoiler in itself. This list will not include characters who already made their debut in DGS1.

The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney

Minor Changes: Ryuutarou Naruhodou -> Ryutaro Naruhodo (accents removed) Seishirou Jigoku -> Seishiro Jigoku (accents removed)

Major Changes:

Haori Murasame -> Rei Membami A “haori” is an article of Japanese clothing, and “Murasame” comes from the Japanese for a “passing shower”. “Rei Membami” is a pun on “remember me”, referring to her admiration and affection for Susato.

Heita Mamemomi -> Raiten Menimemo “Mamemomi”, as well as being satisfying to say, comes from “memoru”, “to write a memo”. “Raiten Menimemo” is a play on “writing many memo(s).”

The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro

No Changes: Duncan Ross Selden

Minor Changes: Mrs Altamont -> Quinby Altamont (gives her a first name, “queen bee” pun)

Major Changes:

William Petenshy -> William Shamspeare  “Petenshy” comes from a Japanese word for “crook”, and “William” is a reference to William Shakespeare. “Shamspeare” = “sham” + “Shakespeare”, hinting at his deceitful nature.

Decargo Mieterman -> Adron B. Metermann “Decargo” derives from “dekai ago” meaning “big chin”, describing his appearance. The “Mieterman” pun originally meant “saw it all” (”mitta man”) but has been adapted into “meter man”, since he works with gas meters. “Adron B.” sounds like “a drone bee”, referring to his design/connection to Mrs Altamont.

The Return of the Great Departed Soul

No Changes: Toby Gotts (I am NOT writing out his whole name) Enoch Drebber Courtney Sithe Masked Disciple

Minor Changes: Maria Goulloyne -> Maria Gorey (changed to make the pun work)

Major Changes:

Benjamin Dobinbough -> Albert Harebrayne “Dobinbough” comes from “do binbou” meaning “very poor”. “Albert” is a reference to Albert Einstein, and “Harebrayne” comes from “hare-brained”, someone who is rash and makes foolish decisions.

Elyder Meningen -> Odie Asman His Japanese name is a pun on “erai dame ningen”, “incredibly bad person”. Meningen is also a character in the Holmes novels. “Odie Asman” keeps the pun with “odious man”.

Rumba Marmatch -> Balthazar Lune “Rumba” is a phonetic rearrangement of the Japanese “barun” (balloon), and the “maru” in “Marmatch” means “round”. “Balthazar Lune” keeps the balloon pun (“Bal... Lune”). “Lune” means “moon”, which also gives a “round” impression.

Connette Rozaic -> Esmerelda Tusspells “Connette” comes from “koneru”, “to knead” (a word related to clay-working); “Rozaic” comes from “rozaiku” meaning “waxworks”. The localisation seems to have gone for witchy puns instead, with “Tusspells” being a combination of “Tussauds” (a famous real-life British waxwork museum) and “spells”.

Twisted Karma & His Last Bow

No Changes: Venus Sandwich Gossip

Minor Changes: Harry Barricade -> Barry Caiden (changed to make name more natural)

Major Changes:

Anna Mittlemont -> Evie Vigil “Mittlemont” sounds like “miteiru mono”, a person who watches. This is preserved in “Vigil”. Additionally, “Evie” sounds like “eve” or “evening”, making her name similar to “evening vigil”.

Everyday Mittlemont -> Daley Vigil His full Japanese name roughly sounds like “a person who watches every day”; a “daily vigil” is more or less the same thing.

Maurice de Quilco -> Fabien de Rousseau “de Quilco” comes from “dekiru ko”, “capable child”. “Maurice” is a French name. “Fabien” is also a French name, and “Rousseau” sounds like “rouge” meaning “red” in French, a reference to his hair.

Marco di Gicho -> Peppino di Rossi Similarly to de Quilco, “di Gicho” comes from “dojikko”, meaning “clumsy child”. “Marco” is an Italian name. “Peppino” is also an Italian name, and “Rossi” comes from “rosso”, Italian for “red”, again referring to his hair.

The Resolve of Ryuunosuke Naruhodou

Minor Changes: Genshin Asougi -> Genshin Asogi (accents removed Klimt van Zieks -> Klint van Zieks (changed to make name more natural) Ann Sasha -> Asa Shinn (changed to preserve the pun)

Major Changes: Mapotov Stroganov -> Tchikin Strongenov The “stroganov” change is the same as his brother’s from DGS1, but “Mapotov” (Mapo tofu is a Chinese tofu dish) changes to “Tchikin” (chicken, which is also a type of stroganoff).

Let me know if I missed anyone, or if I’ve missed out on any puns!
