Name: Teleporting Datz
Type of cough-up: Impossible situation
Location: Chapter 6-5
Description:
Datz is still in Japanifornia during the civil trial at 1 PM, yet in the trial after that, we discover that Datz was also at the Khura'in bazaar at 2 PM throwing firecrackers, despite all the main characters just barely reaching Khura'in by 2:45 PM by private jet. This seems only possible if Datz can teleport.

Not sure if they changed this in the localized version, but I remember that in the original text, the whole deal in Kurain is set the day AFTER the civil trial; Inga specifically says their deal is to be tomorrow at 15:00. That's why it's called the Second Day in the menu.

Besides, who's to say he can't teleport?

That's fair,but the MCs take a whole day to get there,and they chartered a private jet,so how did Datz get there faster than them?

Could you say (Plot spoilers)

I've got one.

Name: Blind Audience,etc.
Type:Impossible Occurence
Case:2
Desc: Polly claims that Mistree was pulled up after the dragon set fell into the blade. In this case,how did the audience miss this? And no,the explanation that they were distracted does not suffice. At least one of them should've seen them. And what about Trucy,Bonny,and the creepy cameraman backstage? Did they not see Mistree hit the blade? How did he not make any noise when he was stabbed? The backstage crew would've noticed. And how did he fall back down without anyone noticing?

Could you say (Plot spoilers)

I think Geiru wanted Uendo to think Owen did it, since he doesn't know him (and actually, she succeded at that). I think only her and Toneido knew the truth about Owen. And once you know about Uendo's disorder the message makes sense. Also, she did it in the spur of the moment, so it makes sense that she wasn't thinking straigh.

I did think it was strange we could only see the shadow of Manov, but not Manov himself being pulled up. Same goes for Mr. Hat, really... So in a meta sense, I knew that the game figured it possible since it was already proven to be possible with Mr. Hat.
Also, since the set was used for switching magic, the pulleys are set up in such a way they can pull hard and fast. Taking that into consideration, the blade also would've pierced Manov quickly, killing him instantly, giving him little time to cry out. I also imagine the crew didn't stay backstage, but rather went back to their dressing rooms. That would give Retinz the opportunity to simply lower Manov and set the scene

What makes you think the crew wasn't there? Then who pulled Manov up?

Also,Retinz shouldn't have been able to tamper with anything anyway. Where were the police during this anyway? And I thought he said they didn't allow him in?

Huh? That was a key point in the case. Manov was pulled up remotely (through a remote control) by Retinz.

Lol thanks. I never thought I'd be credited for a post :P

He hid in someone else's suitcase didn't he

Actually, I think you're both wrong. Mistree was attached to the dragón so he was pulled up when Betty lowered it. That was part of the prank. The only unscripted thing was the sword that skewered the victim.

dragón...?
Hmm, are you quite sure? I thought he was hooked up to the same line as Mr. Hat (after Mr. Hat was pulled up and his line was lowered again for Manov). I don't think the system even works with a counterweight like you suggest

Haha I've got it. A plothole to break the game!

Oh right! I forgot about this one...

Name: Self-incriminating evidence
Type of cough-up: Killer derp
Location: 6-4
Description:
When Geiro killed her master, she arranged the cards to spell out "OWEN 4TH" to incriminate Owen. But that's really strange... She should know that Owen, a scared frail little boy, wouldn't be capable of murder, so why incriminate him of all 4 characters? It also wouldn't make sense, because the police doesn't know about Owen, so there's no reason to suspect that message held any significance. In fact, by planting the message, Geiro only dug her own grave, because the moment it's clear the cards were planted there, the list of suspects becomes... 1. Only Geiro would be a possible suspect, because the others either don't know about Owen, wouldn't self-incriminate (and couldn't due to an unshared memory bank) or are deceased. It's probably one of the dumbest things for a killer to do.

Of course, from a meta perspective, Geiro did this so that the player would know about an Owen so we could investigate and eventually find out about Uendo's split personalities. But that's just bad writing, to let characters do dumb and illogical things for the sake of the plot

Nngh that's so clever. The prosecution didn't even bring that up as a defence but it feels like that item was placed there solely to explain this in hindsight.

Oh no,I see it now. Manov and the dragon were tied to the same rope,so Betty probably loosened the ropes holding the dragon,and then when the dragon fell,the force sent him up into the sword. I don't really remember anything about your 'remote control' in the game though....

Retinz still confuses me though....

Also shouldn't you add all this to the OP?

Nope, that's not a cough-up because.

So I've got two. Excuse the incoming text wall...

Name: Inga (Again) What..
Type of cough-up: Illogical actions.
Location: Case 5, Amara's Tomb (Again)
Description:

He never fired off a bullet in that WM sequence, so we can't know for sure whether or not he did or didn't reload his gun. Either way, he pointed it at his adversary in his dying moments, so it'd be safe to assume he did.

Description:

Well, Ema does say the pistol is empty when you investigate. And I doubt Ga'ran would unload his gun and take the bullets with her as she had zero reason for that

I agree it would technically be possible for it to be in his right hand, and fall to his left, however, then we would see it cross his vision in the Seance as he fell if that were the case wouldn't' we? The phone is so close to his face. And it just seems unlikely considering how the crime photo was drawn. If the phone were to be in his right hand, they would just draw the phone on the ground on his right.
And what you said about the victims filters things out, that's actually a really neat suggestion and it makes a lot of sense!
Like how in the vision he doesn't feel his clothes touching his skin, but that would only work for minor things. I doubt one of his lackeys calling him and reporting suspicious behaviour he spotted wouldn't take his attention.

It's probably as Rubia said where it was a developers choice to not clutter the screen with so much Hubbub, but it still is a bit odd to me.

Type of cough-up: Inconsistency
Location: 4-4, 6-5
Description: In 4-4, Spark Brushel says that Apollo's father was killed on stage in an accident, but in 6-5 we learn that he was killed in the assassination attempt of Amara at her palace.

and a fire is quickly seen as an accident, especially since no one got convicted for arson

Except the fire was seen as an assassination attempt, seeing as that was one of the charges that Dhurke was accused of.
