I know that from GS2 and on, all the prosecutors introduced were gimmicky (Franziska - Whip, Godot - Coffee), but seeing as Kyouya is supposed to be "Edgeworth's replacement" (in the sense that he's featured just as much as Edgeworth in the past), should he be just as gimmicky as the other prosecutors? After all, according to precedent, we're gonna see him for a while, and his "musician talk" may get on the nerves of people.

Just wanted to know what you all thought about this.

I demand that Kyouya has a gimmick, and that gimmick be massive hoards of fangirls attending his every trial, setting fire to Odoroki's hair each and every morning and booing at his every objection.

...I'd feel so sorry for the Judge... And the baliff...

"ORDER! ORDER! I SAID ORDER! BALIFF, KICK OUT ANYONE WHO'S BEING NOISY!" *baliff gets overwelmed by the mass of fangirls* "WE ARE ON A THREE DAY TRIAL SYSTEM (assuming that's still in effect) WE CAN'T SUSPEND THIS TRIAL UNTIL TOMORROW!!"

Well, every character in this series has some sort of gimmick. Edgeworth has a habit of collapsing on himself when severely objected or in the presence of a powerful person. Phoenix gets shocked easily, and gets hit with several objects over the years, ranging from toupees to birds to coffee cups.


To say Kyouya is gimmicky would be like saying the entire series it gimmicky - which it partially is - but we have to wait and see if he has any other traits aside from music-inspired banter.

Edgeworth's gimmick is his cravat. >>


Anyways, Kyouya, being a rockstar, is bound to have some flare about him that makes him gimmicky. I think there's gonna be something interesting about him. :3

His chain man, his chain.
Like that song.

He'll start owning people Mortal Kombat style with his chains, and end with a pose and the phrase "ROCK ON!" and a random headbang.
Or... "Hi. I'm Kyouya Garyuu. Welcome to Jackass."

I think that Edgeworth's gimmick was his overwhelming smugness Edgy. Kyouya's will be similar. He's a rocker and he's laid back, but that won't dominate his character, just like Edgeworth's smugness, Franziska's whip, and Godot's cofee didn't completely dominate theirs. They all have their gimmicks really, it's just less pronounced in the main characters to allow for character growth.

Slightly off topic: While we're on the subject of prosecutor gimmicks, I can't shake the feeling that Payne's gimmick is quickly becoming his hair. Just look at him in GS3 Young Payne and GS4 Payne Stroke ...


I think the smilies speak for themselves.

I can't speak for Godot, but quite frankly, the whip was too much a part of her character. To a point where it's ridiculous. It's not even funny.

Certainly, it was a strong part of her character, but it wasn't her whole character.

I agree. Godot's visor was a little silly at first, but it's the kind of thing you don't care about that much as the story goes on. You accept that yes, he's wearing a visor--it's the future, he can do what he wants.

But the whip will never make sense in a court of law, especially in the hands of a teenage lawyer. And she uses it so frequently it's gotten old by the first trial she appears in. At least, I was sick of it by then. Slapstick can be funny, but not when it's the same gag over and over.

Kyouya having fangirls, or a guitar, or any other manner of prop could be funny at first, but I hope they don't go that route, because eventually I want to have a tiiiiiiny bit of faith in PW's justice system. Just tiny, tiny bit, please. Yanni Yogi

Everyone needs some sort of gimick so people who aren't fans can say "The rockstar?" "The one with the visor/whip?". And then fans can rip the back out of them!

Edgeworths gimick is "I'm sexy" or "I'm cool".

I look forward to Kyouya's rocking attitude annoying Odoroki.

I always found Edgeworth gimmick to be the fact that he's rich. It always seems to show when he's talking and even poking fun or insulting people.

I think Kyouya will have as much of a gimmick as Edgeworth, who in fact did not have a gimmick. Being rich doesn't count. Does that mean that Phoenix's gimmick is that he has a plant named Charley? Don't confuse minor character details for some bizarre character aspect (although being rich is much more important than Charley).

I wholeheartedly believe that Kyouya, in the same manner of Edgeworth as well, will become a base character for the Odoroki arc. If we'll be seeing this guy for a long time running, a simple fangirl or guitar addition isn't going to keep him likable in the long run. He's just going to be a prosecutor with personality. I say let's leave the gimmicks for the next two.

He could do air guitar when he wins an argument.

Personally though, I think he really needs something to make him appear more imposing, as right now he really doesn't look like much of a threat in court. Edgeworth had an appearence that said, "Hello, I'm wealthier than you, better educated that you, and I'm going to crush your defense like an ant and laugh!"
Franziska and Godot have their no-nonsense attitudes, and Von Karma borrowed Dracula's wardrobe. With all of them, you got the sense that they would challenge you every step in the court. Kyouya looks like he just wandered in from a late night on the town and thought "Prosecuting criminals? Sounds like a larf!"

Of course, I'll probably be wrong, and he'll turn out to be a sinister conniving bastard beneath his rockabilly persona.

Maybe he'll have a guitar... and, like, play it whenever the prosecution is doing good and snap the top of it when the defense is winning. He'll have an unlimited set of guitars, then, like how Adrain had unlimited glasses when they kept breaking... xD

Just because the story isn't about Edgeworth anymore doesn't mean he won't show up at all. He just isn't a main character in Odoroki's story.

Other than being a smug, flashy rock star, I don't think he'll have any huge gimmicks.

A battleaxe would be cool though, or a yaoi fetish.
