    40 Cases, 40 Days - Day 4: Turnabout Goodbyes

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 03:38 PM PDT

    Today's case is a fuckin' doozy. Turnabout Goodbyes. I'm sure that this is common knowledge by now, but in the original JP version of PW:AA, this was the final case, and Rise From The Ashes wasn't a thing. That makes Goodbyes the franchise's first ever finale case, meaning it has kickstarted and grandfathered some of the best cases in franchise history. Nearly every Ace Attorney has an amazing ending, and all the storytelling tricks and tropes that the directors and writers of these games use to make them so good were established in this case. Seriously, name anything you like about your favorite final cases; Turnabout Goodbyes probably did it first. More sympathetic character development for the game's star prosecutor? Turnabout Goodbyes did it first. Solving a case from the past alongside one in the present? Goodbyes did it. Bringing in a different prosecutor to spice things up? Multiple villains? Long, drawn out battles with the real mastermind? Guest appearance by Larry Butz and/or Lotta Hart? (Seriously, at least one of these two shows up in a weirdly large number of final cases, 5 to be exact, 6 if you count a background cameo in Apollo Justice's Turnabout Succession.) Turnabout Goodbyes did it all first.

    Speaking of prosecutor development, let's talk about what Goodbyes did for Edgey. From the start, Edgeworth was always a great rival, but Turnabout Goodbyes is what made him a great character. Putting him in the defendant's chair is honestly poetic, a perfect way to re-examine him as a character, and more importantly, for him to re-examine himself as a person. As this case reveals, Edgeworth lived the last 15 years of his life acting like the lives of people in the defendant's chair didn't matter. "I must get every defendant declared guilty!" and all that. What happens when you put him in their shoes? A complete fucking identity crisis that doesn't even finish in this case, and a vicious spiral of guilt and self-doubt that makes him actively sabotage his own freedom near the end of his trial. Edgeworth's predicament in this case is so excellent it even develops characters around him. This is the first case where Gumshoe shows his true colors as a devoted and hard-working friend rather than a bumbling detective trying to one-up the defense. His loyalty and respect for Edgeworth is so earnest it earns him our loyalty and respect in turn. And I don't even need to say anything about what defending Edgeworth in court did for Phoenix's character and their relationship as characters. It's the bond that sailed a thousand ships.

    One cool thing about the characters in this case is that they're almost all at least soft-mainstays. Obviously you've got the main cast that appears throughout the original trilogy, but Larry, Lotta, and Manfred all have made tons of reappearances (or at least indirect mentions in Manfred's case, via his daughter) across the series. The only character here who never makes a comeback is Yanni Yogi, and that's probably for the best, because his character really works best as a one-time twist. The funny old man at the boat shop hiding his true intelligence and a tragic past. Sometimes it still throws me that the whole "Wet Noodle" bit he was doing with Phoenix and Maya (er, sorry, I mean Keith and Meg) was exactly that: a bit. A lie he's been keeping up for over a decade so people believe he really did suffer brain damage from that little oxygen-deprived elevator ride from Hell. The surprise and tragedy of his character really only works once, so it doesn't surprise me that he's gotten very few cameos or references over the years. Larry and Lotta, meanwhile, almost got their soft-mainstay status thrust upon them by this case. I've honestly never cared for Lotta, no hate for her or anything, just always felt she was kind of a "whatever" character. Larry, I do actually love in this case and enjoy in general, but he's definitely been a bit of a tool in a few of his reappearances. They're not amazing characters in my opinion (and some players literally hate them), but it seems their iconic roles in this legendary case cemented them in Ace Attorney lore, so they get to keep coming back for more.

    Manfred von Karma, meanwhile, earned his soft-mainstay status and then some. Von Karma is an easy Top 3 villain, possibly even the best villain in series history, and that's why the rest of this writeup is just about him. In my book, his only real competition is a certain thorned flower from T&T and The Mastermind from Investigations 2. And he manages to accomplish this feat without multiple prior appearances under his belt. Later games love to build up their main villains slowly, but Von Karma makes his first physical appearance in Goodbyes, and that's all he needs to sell himself as an incredible villain.

    Even before you meet this fucking hellspawn lawyer, Edgeworth has already hyped him up as this impossible challenge. Forty godforsaken years undefeated. You don't get a record that good without cheating, but you also don't get a record that good without being amazing at your job. Greenhorn Phoenix with three cases under his belt is about to take on a man who is both an expert at his craft, and is willing to cheat in order to get his win over the defense. Before you even walk through the door, it seems hopeless. Like a newborn deer trying to fight God. And prospects don't exactly improve after you walk through the door, either. Seconds into the trial and Von Karma already has the judge at his beck and call. He objects at basically every press you make, shuts down every tiny argument or contradiction you can come up with. Baby deer, meet God. It takes everything Phoenix has and Maya getting arrested for contempt of court just to find the tiniest hole in Manfred's case, and all that does is buy them another day.

    It's honestly kind of a miracle that Phoenix wins this case, mainly because he literally loses it. The judge hands down a Guilty verdict, and it's only after that and right before everyone's about to call it a day that Larry Butz, with perhaps the worst timing of any human being ever, busts in with case-breaking testimony. If Larry hadn't been skulking around Gourd Lake at nearly midnight on Christmas Eve looking for a Steel Samurai balloon, Edgeworth would be in jail right now. And even with that miracle and a half, that still only buys Phoenix another day, because of course the real killer has fled the courtroom.

    At some point in the trial, Phoenix Wright cross examines a parrot. Manfred von Karma retrained the fucking parrot so it wouldn't give any explicit information about DL-6.

    The point I'm trying to get across here is that Manfred is the most formidable foe in series history. He pulls out all the stops and pits Phoenix against literal impossible odds at every possible turn. The court battles against Von Karma are some of the series' very best, because they genuinely feel like battles. And I haven't even talked about Von Karma as a person yet. Von Karma's an incredible foe, but where he gets really interesting is his insanely twisted moral code. Unlike, say, Redd White, who does bad things to people because he gets power and money for it, Von Karma doesn't seem to get much from his pursuit of perfection beyond notoriety. With a record like his, he could've pushed for Chief Prosecutor years ago. But he didn't. He's also noted to have never taken a day off in his career, save for one to heal from the bullet wound. So why does he do it? Personal pride? Sure, that's a big part of it. But it seems to go a little further than that. In my opinion, Von Karma doesn't do what he does because he likes it. Everything Manfred did, from manipulating witnesses to forging evidence to murdering Gregory Edgeworth in cold blood, stealing his son, and putting him on the path of a corrupt prosecutor, Manfred did because he felt it was right. In his view, pursuing utmost perfection in imprisoning the accused isn't just what he likes to do, it's a moral necessity. You get hints of this from his future appearances in the Investigations flashback cases. Von Karma isn't just some prideful old man who liked winning. He has a real hatred for crime and criminals, and zero respect for the attorneys who would protect them.

    I'll end this write-up by getting a little bit "out there". While I seriously doubt this was intentional, as Judaism/Christianity is not a very big religion in Japan and most references to it in Japanese media are very surface-level, I feel like there's a Biblical connection to be made regarding Manfred von Karma, specifically in regards to his plot to corrupt Edgeworth and then eventually frame him for murder 15 years later. In the Old Testament and in many Jewish interpretations of him, Satan, the prince of darkness himself, is generally not seen as some kind of monster who decides/inflicts the punishments of the sinful like he's considered today. He's actually seen as… well, a prosecutor. When your soul goes to the afterlife, the original interpretation of Satan portrays him as, basically, an attorney trying to prove you guilty of sin. Sins that he tempted you to commit. He shows God all the evidence of the bad things you did, and argues his case as to why you should be damned for the life you've lived. And, well, is that not exactly what Manfred did to Miles? He took him down a path of corruption and hatred, tempting him to bend the rules and let innocent people suffer for his own desire to inflict wrath upon criminals. And when Miles goes to have his innocence, his "soul", judged, what does Manfred do? He comes to argue against him, to show the world what a terrible person he is. And Miles, knowing exactly what life he's led up to this point, believes him.

    This case is amazing.

    Overall Score - 5 / 5

    Turnabout Big Top???

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 11:59 PM PDT

    Can someone explain to me why Russel wore Max's clothes? Or is it really not explained? It really will make it the worst case in the series. That shit led me astray the whole case and for it to be because of Regina in the end a boring conclusion. I thought first that Max actually was the one who put the pepper because he was jealous of Bat (same with Ben), Russel knew but at the same time the Circus needs Max, so he covered up for him. And Acro knew about everything and wanted to kill Max, But Berry still won't give up on his circus and would sacrifice himself for it
