Then he takes the blame for the murder of Metis and starts sporting teared eye-liner to show how sad his time has been in jail, and he finds his pet bird in jail and then he starts prosecuting despite of being in jail because Edgeworth needed to draw out the real murderer behind the incident, (and willingly lets a prosecutor who's convicted for murder represent the law for a time while the audiences distrust the system; he willingly supports the mantra "The end justifies the means" the game is trying to tell us is wrong for... like that was the entire point of case 5-3 .).

And I don't like it when people compare him to Edgeworth. Both are "gentleman-ly", but that's it. Edgeworth has more presence and impact as a character.

This makes my shit boil xD
Godot does not ramble but I agree Nahyuta does. Godot makes a satire of his own design. He's this "ooh so mysterious prosecutor that came from hell" and he drinks coffee due to an important part of his theme. Everything about him is pretentious by design maybe to spot fun at how every prosecutor has to be more than the previous one, or maybe just Takumi fooling around and making fun of Hideki Kamiya, but Godot's "rambling" consists of making a joke. You build up expectations and subvert it with an unexpexted punchline. He keeps talking about things that start out something like "the nature of man" and then subverts it by referring to his coffee making his monologue escalate, but that's actually funny! It's like the game is saying "look how smart and profound this is trying so hard to be"

I just love that. I don't love Nahyuta as much because he has no punchlines. He actually rambles about his own nerdy lore that nobody cares about and it was the same thing with Courtney in AAI2. it's airheaded nonsense which fits his themes, but it's still air headed nonsense with no spark in the eye or grin of the teeth.

This game actually has two rivals in a way (Rayfa and Nayuta), just like GK2. Looking at it that way, my problems with Nayuta don't feel as big.

And then the game expects you to take him seriously in the last case.

The closest thing Nahyuta has to a redeeming moment is that he still has his dragon tattoo. I think it would have been better if he was working undercover and revealed something that could help. Similar to how Blackquill shed light on the Phantom once Phoenix proved both his and Athena's innocence.

Like what was said before, Nahyuta is in the same position that Edgeworth was in after the first game. If he appears in another game, he had better develop further, not be used for fanservice like Klavier in Dual Destinies. It would waste his potential.

Personally, I think Rayfa is the rival in this game.

Is Nahyuta the worst prosecutor?

No, cause he's not Klavie- *beaten to death with bricks*

But seriously, I do find Nahyuta the second worst overall. While I generally prefer prosecutors who are cruel and arrogant, because it makes it all the sweeter to take them down, Nahyuta just seemed to take it way too far. I know the circumstances of why, but it doesn't really make it any less obnoxious. His constant use "putrid" and "let it go and move on" lines could get grating after a while.

I was kind of expecting his "let it go*" line to eventually be related to something a little more personal, like maybe it was more him telling himself to let go of the guilt he felt for condemning defense attorneys to death, but all it amounted to was telling the defense to give up and accept the death penalty.

I also found it a little contrived he actually goes from country to country to prosecute cases, just as an explanation for why he took 6-2 and 6-4.

Speaking of condemning attorneys, I would had figured he'd express some kind of personal guilt or trauma from the amount of people who died under the DC Act, especially considered he wasn't doing it by choice, but the whole thing gets glossed over.

On the plus side, his culture-shock moments were some of the funniest moments in the game, like his "What's crack-a-lackin' homie" and his western burger suggestion, saying it all with a completely straight face. I also loved his 'damage' animation, after all he puts you through it's pretty satisfying.

In short, he had a terrible character arc in which he changed far too quickly and got resolved too cleanly and his put-downs were too nasty and overused.

*And I know someone's going to point that line out, so I thought I'd save the trouble and just post this.

Actually,something I dislike in general is that in Calif,the judge just lets him tell the defense to go to hell over and over. Why,udgey?

Sebastian's the worst. He barely had a character-transform. I mean, yeah, the whole "leaning on his dad, feeding off of the false praise" is fine, but come on, how many times have I seen that in other stories?

When Nahyuta tore off his glove, I got tingles. Of course I wouldn't put Nahyuta anywhere near Godot or Klavier, let alone Simon Blackquill. But still better than Sebastian.

Sorry if I had a spoiler, but there really needs to be a way to view the subforum where you can turn off the spoiler tag, so that you can just scroll and read (I'm trying to help). If there is a way, please let me know!
