The title of this is pretty self-explanatory. For the cases of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, who do you think is the killer is and give your theories on why. This could be based on your first impressions of the character or what the official website says about them. Spoiler your guesses as even the name of the culprit could be a spoiler.

Here are my guesses: (Note that these are my guesses. Everything I said here is pure speculation. If my guesses happened to be true, then don't say anything.)

Case 1:

Case 2:

The last one is Fulbright for the murder of whoever Simon supposedly killed.

That's right.

I could realistically see that. His constant defense of Simon definitely makes me think that he has ulterior motives.

True. Though I am suspicious of Athena and Juniper myself. The Academy they attend seems to have, at the very least, an unhealthy atmosphere, given how someone found the murder of a student there an appropriate thing to do. Principal Means talking about how his Academy trains his students to produce "meaningful results" could very well hint at something crazy stuff going down there.

Though as suspicious as a character like Bobby Fulbright is, I really want to believe he is exactly what he seems.

It was a teacher, not a student, who was killed.

Ah, thanks for the correction. A teacher was killed, interesting. I can't guess as to a specific culprit for her murder, but I still think there's something really wrong with the Academy. By "really wrong", I mean the Academy will tie heavily into the over-arcing plot, as opposed to "This student killed this teacher because he wanted to get an A+ on his report card, and the headmaster covered it up because he's a dick."

I would be okay with them being villains. It might even make Athena seem interesting.

Well, culprit or otherwise, I do hope Athena has more connection to the plot besides just being a new sidekick. Her psychology theme is one that can lead to a ton of interesting stuff if it's used correctly.

In Gyakuten Saiban 5, three defense attorneys, Ryuichi Naruhodo, Housuke Odoroki, and Kokone Kizuki, take the stage.

Last, but not least, Gyakuten Saiban 5 tells the story of rookie attorney Kokone Kizuki’s development. What kind of a lawyer will she become with these kinds of role models?

Well, he doesn't really tell what her story's gonna be, but obviously she is important for it.

You know..for Juniper to be the defendant of two cases in the same game seems a little suspicious, don't you think? I mean, not even Maggy Byrde had THAT bad luck. At least not in the same game.

Besides Juniper changes a lot from one case to the other. In Turnabout Academy she seems more confident and serious. Maybe i'm thinking a little too much. Specially cause this could turn out to be a Dahlia Hawthorne redux.

I'm of the opinion that if Juniper is the culprit, so is Athena, and vice-versa.
