i get english names are harder to get puns but whats with 'gregory'? if there is a meaning its not one normal people know and the point isnt you have to look up some obscure origin. in japanese it is a bit obvious its 信 (shin) literally 'belief'. but also works cause to die is 死ぬ (shinu) and can conjugate to 死んだ (shinda). if he was introducing himself in a way im pretty sure is possible he could say 御剣信だ (mitsurugi shin da) which sounds like 'mitsurugi died'

#maybe im wrong about that but i find it so funny #hes dead so hes called died #i mean i know maybe its too much of a stretch and not really intentional? cant even remember if that sentence is something people say #if you flip it around you get 'the dead mitsurugi' which would be even better but theres no way to get that sentence #unless he was like 信だ。御剣信 with just his first name then clarify like a reverse bond but theres no reason he would #no i dont care if thats not the canon pun it is to me #actually ive got no way to tell how native speakers would percieve these #ace attorney #gregory as in gregarious? like sociable i always think of sheep it was a year 8 spelling word
