I know we are talking about Maya, but isn't she a little bit too... old for this?

Phoenix is older than Maya and he dressed up like a Pirate too.

One is never too old to pretend to be a pirate, especially if she's trying to cheer up Nick and show him that she's going to be okay.

He dressed up like pirates in the Dual Destinies DLC.

...N-No. He isn't...

I'm not sure whether he was joking or not.

I think I'm more curious about that remaining 10% and what that part of him thought Nick really was wearing during the investigation segments.

Thinking about it, he really should have brought it with him to Kurain. In case Maya does get an eye bandage, she'd be in luck 'cause he'd have the full outfit for her.

Guys we have bigger worries...

WHAT IF THEY KILL OFF GUMSHOE, PAL?!?!

Have they ever killed off a returning character from a previous game? Even like the really minor ones? To kill Maya would be pretty gutsy, there's no way they would do that.

I think if Yamazaki did end up killing a character, it would have to be one of his own. Unless he wants to embrace a shitstorm that'll last long after the series is over

I don't think we're going to be seeing any characters die, though. Even Thalassa

But that does make one wonder, how many *big* dead characters are there in this series? Godot isn't confirmed but is pretty likely. Other than that, I believe it's just Mia, Dahlia, Elise, and Von Karma. If you want to stretch it even further, you can throw in Gregory and maybe another GK2 character or two

Well, it's always been a little weird when it comes to convicted criminals. I just replayed the 3DS Trilogy and there are numerous references to capital punishment and the death penalty, but Frank Sahwit and Simon Blackquill are still alive. Then again, Dahlia Hawthorne spent 5 years on death row so maybe it just takes a while? I didn't really like that aspect of the franchise, if only because sometimes the murderers are not just totally evil and are more complex than that.

I was contemplating the Nick death based on Apollo's comment in the trailer, but after the recent Famitsu I think its safe to say he's talking about Nick being in Kurain while Apollo's in Japanifornia.

But doesn't he say that while standing in a Kurain courtroom?

Okay, but what's about that mysterious "Miss Butterfly" prosecutor we see at the end of the trailer? I think it's quite sure that she (or he) will be both the main prosecutor and "Kurainish", and Apollo clearly said "my opponent". I know that characters sometimes (well quite often, actually) talk nonsense more or less unrelated to the game, but isn't that part to important to mix it up like that? And I think they only cut Edgeworth out and put him into a normal courtroom because they wanted the destroyed courtroom to be their little secret until they released the game.

I'm not sure what you mean by "one person", since I haven't any idea who it could be. Klav?

No, was actually talking about my "big Sis", about Franny. I mean have you ever noticed that normally everyone (especially Nick) freaks out when she suddenly shows up? So I think it's quite possible that Apollo says "even if THAT person is my opponent" referring to her.

Well, to be serious, I just wish I could see her and Apollo fighting like cats and dogs. If this isn't going to happen, I will maybe try to write a fanfic about it, but it still wouldn't be the same.
