Everything GREAT About Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies!

Episode 2: The Monstrous Turnabout

Spoilers!

(Obviously...)

(The case intro) "Cool! Reminds me of Okami!" *ding*

(Florent L'Belle killing Rex Kyubi) *taking away 2 wins for showing the killer committing the crime since this case isn't important to the overall story*

"Trucy!" *2 wins*

"Nine-Tails Vale." *ding*

(Jinxie slaps warding charm on Apollo's forehead) "Hahahahahahaha..." *ding*

"Also, the charm moves whenever Apollo speaks. Nice touch." *ding*

"The Amazing Nine-Tails!" *3 wins*

"Also, the Amazing Nine-Tails' music!" *3 wins*

(Jinxie: Rex Kyubi. He was a former pro wrestler.) "Setting up the victim as the Amazing Nine-Tails is one of the best red herrings the series has to offer, and it makes sense." *ding*

"Damian Tenma." *ding*

(Damian asking Apollo to look after Jinxie.) "Aww..." *ding*

(Athena tossing a cop who is about to unlawfully arrest her) "Self-defense." *ding*

(Athena: I'm only eighteen!) "If studying law in Europe can make Franziska and Klavier prosecutors at their respective ages of 13 and 17, why not have Athena be a defense attorney at 18?" *ding*

(Bobby Fulbright's theme) "Eccentric, cheesy, and jazzy. Love it!" *ding*

(Apollo: That must be one big bird! And not the friendly yellow type either!) "Sesame Street reference!" *ding*

(Fulbright warns our heroes about Blackquill and how he's a prisoner.) "Background on the main rival." *ding*

(Athena: This prosecutor... He wouldn't happen to go by the name "Blackquill," would he?) "Past-shadowing!" *ding*

(Fulbright now notices his shoes are missing) "Did Filch manage to steal the phantom's shoes? That's pretty sweet." *ding*

"Also, the phantom must have have noticed beforehand and is playing along just to throw our heroes off his scent." *ding*

"Like just about everyone, I, too, am not fond of Florent L'Belle or his character, but his overall behavior in this case, makes the payoff utterly satisfying." *ding*

(Apollo's bracelet reacts) "The return of the Perceive mechanic." *ding*

"Also, Perceive tutorial." *ding*

(Flashback of Phoenix in his hoodie and beanie from Apollo's debut game) "Callback." *ding*

"Simon Blackquill." *5 wins*

(Blackquill's theme) *3 wins*

"Taka." *ding*

(Taka perches himself on the judge's head) "Yep!" *ding*

"Also... pfft... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" *2 wins for judge's reaction*

(Blackquill: You fool of a tanuki! Two times now, your lies have cost me!) "A rival prosecutor who doesn't tolerate lies from the get-go? Sweet!" *ding*

"Also, Lord of the Rings reference." *ding*

"Yeah! Get him, Taka!" *ding*

(Blackquill breaks out of his shackles) "Yikes!" *ding*

(Blackquill: Silence!) "The rival prosecutor has a new interjection? Sweet!" *ding*

(Introduction to probing/finding the source of overflowing emotions) "More Mood Matrix tutorial!" *ding*

(Damian's "transformation") "Yep!" *ding*

"Also, I love how the beeping of text for Damian went deeper to actually make it seem like he IS possessed." *ding*

"Also also, protecting your child." *ding*

(Phoenix: So the room was locked tight and the only people in there were the suspet and victim? I headed up a smiliar case a long time ago.) "Callback to 2-2, when we first met Franziska." *ding*

"Who would have thought the folding screen would help unlock the Forbidden Chamber? I certainly didn't until Apollo himself pointed it out." *ding*

(Inside the Forbidden Chamber) "Dang! This place is just so spooky. They really nailed the atmosphere for this location." *ding*

(The scroll depicting the origin of the Tenma Taro legend) "True identity-shadowing!" *ding*

(Jinxie tells our heroes that her "father" confessed) "Seems like bad news at first, but then after replaying it, we realize that L'Belle was wearing his boss's clothes and a certain mask in order to complete the deception." *ding*

"I find it kind of funny and pathetic that a mere bumbling thief decided to steal the gold ingot out of boredom, while it took that creep L'Belle a long time to come up with this complex plan, and none of them seem aware that the former's grandfather ran off with it a number of years ago." *ding*

(L'Belle's damage animation) "The villain gets a dose of his own medicine." *ding*

(Witness Testimony: The Ruler of Demonkind) "Hahahahahahaha,.. That's a good one." *ding*

"The Mood Matrix for this testimony not only helps our client remember everything at last, but's it's also a great buildup to the big surprise about the Amazing Nine-Tails." *ding*

(Apollo's Thought Route) "Sweet! New gameplay element!" *ding*

"Also, the Revisualization theme!" *ding*

(L'Belle's breakdown) "Like I said earlier, utterly satisfying." *ding*

"Everything about this guy's defeat just makes me smirk with delight: the project concerning his perfume is cancelled, his sponsors pull out, he's fired from his job, and to top it off, he's now facing a one-hundred million dollar lawsuit for spraying that disgusting product of his in the stratosphere. A well-deserved comeuppance." *5 wins*

"Confetti!" *ding*

"Also, everyone's animations: the mayor still acting like Tenma Taro, Apollo and Athena smiling, and Blackquill laying on his bench with his back to everyone." *3 wins*

"A sullen character who smiles in the end is always a win." *ding*

(Anime cutscene of Damian making his entrance as The Amazing Nine-Tails) "Yep!" *ding*

Total Win Score: 69

Award: Adoration from Wrestling Fans! ("Nine-Tails Vale Forever!")

A/N: Whew. Glad that's over with. Please read and review like always.

By the way, when I get to The Cosmic Turnabout, should I combine it with Turnabout for Tomorrow, or write them as separate chapters?
