Judge
A good evening to everyone in front of the tv. Tonight we bring you a special report.
Um, this is abrupt, but it seems our reporter in the field is ready to broadcast.

<Image cuts to Edgeworth's office. Edgeworth, Gumshoe and a cameraman are there, along with the Blue Badger as an interviewer>

Edgeworth
Detective Gumshoe, what's this commotion about?

Gumshoe
You'll have to ask him for the details.

<Gumshoe opens the laptop on the desk.>

Edgeworth
Your Honor...!?

Judge
It looks like all the participants are here.
We're doing things differently this time, but Tokyo Game Show 2008 Special Court is now in session.

<Edgeworth and Gumshoe face each other.>

Judge
This time, I'll make the opening statement.
Last night, a certain Osaka game company once again had one of its secret documents stolen.

Edgeworth
Ah, I heard about that incident. Apparently the document was the plan for the new game in the Gyakuten series.

Judge
The game's title was "Gyakuten Ke..."

Edgeworth
...Ke?

Judge
That's all we have. There are two ways to complete the title:
"Gyakuten Kenji," starring a prosecutor, or
"Gyakuten Keiji," starring a detective.
The purpose of this trial is to determine which of you is the game's main character.

[Witness Testimony]

Gumshoe
If I become the main character, I can bid farewell to an all-ramen diet!
I can skip right over colored soumen and level up to plain udon! (note 3)
Thicker noodles are calling me!

Edgeworth
Me, the main character? Hmph, not this again. What nonsense.
<That trial... two years ago... I'll remember the humiliation my whole life!>

I don't know what's going on here, but I have no interest in being the main character.
Anyway, I'm not foolish enough to fall into the same trap twice!

Gumshoe
Your Honor! I'm prepared to submit definitive evidence. Please take a look at this. It's a piece of the stolen plans.

Judge
Which part? Ah! Right here! It says "NEW Gyakuten [Turnabout] NOT Saiban [Trial]!"

Gumshoe
That's right!
This time, the action takes place at the scene of the crime, not in the courtroom.
There's no reason for a prosecutor to be there.

Edgeworth
OBJECTION!
Hmph. Are you a rookie?
Investigation isn't just for detectives. We prosecutors also have investigative authority.

Gumshoe
I guess that's right...

Judge
But, Prosecutor Edgeworth, didn't you have no interest in being the main character?

Edgeworth,
Um, of course that's right.
Your Honor, to continue these proceedings is a waste of time.
Please give us your decision without delay.

Judge
Is that so? I guess there's nothing else to do.
I will now announce my verdict.
The title of the new Gyakuten Series game is "Gyakuten Ke-"

<OBJECTION! graphic appears>

Judge
Who's that?

<It's the Blue Badger holding an OBJECTION sign>

Edgeworth
W-why are you here?

<The Blue Badger holds out something like a DVD. It's labelled "Man on the Street Interviews" with a magic marker. (notes 5, 6)>

Judge
Oh, is that a new piece of evidence?

Edgeworth
"Man on the Street Interviews" ...?

Judge
It's feedback from players of the Gyakuten games, right? Please, play it back now.

<video playback. The music from the opening of case 2-1 plays (note 1), and on the screen appears the phrase "Edgeworth: Memorial of Love">

Edgeworth
Guaaggh! This DVD... It's the wrong DVD!

Judge
Wh-what's is this supposed to be?

<The DVD played was a different DVD labelled "Edgeworth: Memorial of Love" in elaborate letters on a pink background (note 4)>

Edgeworth
That's, well... a lady pressed it on me this morning.

Judge
What sort of relationship does this person have with you?

Edgeworth
Like I know?!
This is my first time watching the DVD, too.

Judge
Well, pull yourself together.
Could you show us the real video this time, please?

<Playback. A man stands in front of the Samurai Dog stand by of Gourd Lake. His eyes are mosaiced. His voice has also been altered. (note 2)>

Notes:
1. Literally, the toccata and fugue from 2-1.
2. His voice was 'processed,' but I assume that's what this means.
3. "Colored soumen" = impossible? The phrase is 'irotuki soumen,' but 'irotuki' means 'colored,' and 'soumen' means 'white noodles.'
4. I'm not entirely sure this is what happened. Either the Blue Badger switched disks, or the first DVD was actually a case containing the Edgeworth DVD. Hopefully the footage will explain this.
5. "Man on the street interview" = "In-street survey interview"
6. "Magic marker" is a plausible guess.

Several of them, noodles with the color are mixed in Soumen.

それでは、今回は私から
冒頭弁論をさせていただきましょう。
At the beginning, I debate this time.
昨晩、大阪の某ゲーム会社から
またもゴクヒ資料が盗まれました。
Strictly confidential material was stolen again from the game company where Osaka existed last night.

* ミツルギ
Edgeworth

ああ、その事件なら、私も聞いている。
I also know the case.
盗まれたのは、逆転シリーズ最新作の企画書‥‥らしいな。
The stolen one seems to be a project book on Gyakuten series latest game.

* サイバンチョ
Judge

その最新作のタイトルは、
”ぎゃくてん　け‥‥”
The title is "Gyakuten Ke..."

* ミツルギ
Edgeworth

‥‥け？
"...Ke"?

* サイバンチョ
Judge

わかっているのは、ここまでです。
Only it is understood.
その先には、ふたつの可能性があります。
There are two possibilities.
検事が主人公の「逆転検事」！
Prosecuter(=Kenji) is a chief character, "Gyakuten Kenji"!
刑事が主人公の「逆転刑事」！
Detective(=Keiji) is a chief character, "Gyakuten Keiji"!
最新作の主人公、特別法廷で、
ハッキリさせていただきましょう。
Who the chief character is decided by the trial.

* ミツルギ
Edgeworth

いや、ちがうな。
No.

Let's run after her! Detective Gumshoe!

御剣、モニターをブツリと切って出て行く。追うイトノコ。
Edgeworth switched it off and left the room.
Gumshoe followed later.

* カルマ

待ちなさい、御剣　怜侍！
まだ勝負はついていないわ！
Wait Miles Edgeworth!
The game is not yet on!

冥、そしてカメラマンも出て行く。
She and a photographer left the room.
一人残ったタイホくんも追いかけようとするが、転んでしまう。
Blue Badger was going to run after them.
However, I fall down.
その拍子に首が取れて、中から成歩堂が姿を現し、シーッ！　とこちらに向かって合図した。
At that time, his head that he was covered came off.
It was Phoenix that there was inside and the pose of keeping silent was.

B--z
The main character of Gyakuten Saiban? Surely he's blue, has a spiky head, and has a 'man of justice' kind of look.

Edgeworth
Hold it!
You mean to tell me this is one of the Gyakuten players? It's obviously...

Judge
Now, now, let's watch it through to the end.

B--z
What, I'm supposed to read this?

<the video skips a second ahead>

B--z
Of course, prosecutors are better than defense lawyers.
From now on, the main character should be a prosecutor in a red suit and a fluttery cravat.
... That good?

Edgeworth
Hold it!
Your Honor, the tape just now...

Judge
Do you have a problem with it?
Nothing looked strange to me....

Edgeworth
<Without a doubt, this is clearly a trap.>

<Each person in the room is shown one by one.>

Edgeworth
<Someone is toying with me... Whoever it is, they're probably involved in this... Right, _that_ has to be it.>
Hmph. It seems I'm not suited to be a main character. The first part of the video evidence cannot be ignored!

Gumshoe
A blue, spiky-headed man of justice?

Judge
But if he's the main character, won't things be just the same as before?

Edgeworth
No. There is one more person who fits that description.
It's you!

<Edgeworth points to the Blue Badger. The Blue Badger raises its hands in surprise.>

Gumshoe
Ehhhhhh?

Judge
Whaaaat?

<Even though this isn't a courtroom, the 'noisy audience' sound effect plays.>

Judge
It's absurd, but if he were the main character, the game would be called... "Turnabout Cops."

Edgeworth
No, not quite. If he... were the main character, the title would probably be "Turnabout Guard."

Judge
Guard? What sort of game would that be?

Edgeworth
I thought it was strange.
For some reason, that Blue Badger's trying to make me the main character.

Gumshoe
Oh! Could it be...!

<Flashback to the TGS 2006 Special Court. Oldbag's testimony.>

Edgeworth
Indeed. Once again, you're the ringleader, or should I say, the main character of this incident.
Take off that badger suit and show us your true form!

Oldbag
Edgey, wait!

Edgeworth
Wh-what!

<Oldbag appears in the laptop monitor, in the security office of the company where she works.>

Oldbag
I'm right here!
I got someone to jack me into this television!

Gumshoe
What're you doing?

Oldbag
I've been watching the whole time!
I listened in, too.
Edgey, you're so obstinate.
Why do you keep insisting you don't want to be the main character?

Edgeworth
O-of course I don't!

Oldbag
Well then, if I can prove you do want to be the main character, will you do it?

Edgeworth
If you can prove it.

Oldbag
Then please take a look at this evidence I filmed.

<Hidden camera video taken in Edgeworth's office. It first shows Oldbag forcing Edgeworth to take the DVD.>

Edgeworth
Objection!
This, this is illegal surveillance!

Oldbag
Settle down, and let's watch it till the end.

<Now alone in his office, Edgeworth begins to play back the DVD.>

Gumshoe
This is a total contradiction!

Oldbag
Edgey! Remeber what you said earlier?

<flashback>

Edgeworth <in flashback>
This is my first time watching the DVD, too.

Edgeworth
Gah!

Oldbag
And that's not all!

<playback continues. Edgeworth enthusiastically makes 'Objection!' poses>

Edgeworth
Objection!

Judge
The prosecution's objection is overruled.
This could be called decisive evidence.

Edgeworth
Illegally obtained evidence is inadmissable in court!

Judge
That's not a problem, because this isn't a trial.

Gumshoe
Ah!

Oldbag
Right. It's NEW Turnabout NOT Trial!

Edgeworth
I-it can't be!

Judge
Somehow, we seem to have reached a conclusion.
Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, do you acknowledge your interest in being a main character in the Gyakuten series?

Edgeworth
I have no choice.

Judge
I've been waiting to hear you say that.
The newest part in the Gyakuten series is Gyakuten Kenji, with Miles Edgeworth as the main character.
I now announce it's beginning.

<cheers from the audience>

Edgeworth
Hold it!

Judge
Do you have something to add?

Edgeworth
Thinking back, nobody's told me anything about the game yet.
As the main character, I demand to know its contents!

Judge
I see.
Since they've been kind enough to join us, let's bring in the developers of Gyakuten Kenji to give testimony. Step into court, if you please.

<interview video>

Judge
Miles Edgeworth, did you follow all that?

Edgeworth
Yes. I can tell how enthusiastic the creators are about this.

Oldbag
Edgeeey, we played this trick on you because otherwise you wouldn't agree to be the main character.

Judge
Hmmm... 'Gyakuten Kenji' and 'Gyakuten Keiji.'
'N' versus of 'I' makes a big difference.

Edgeworth
I... I guess that's right.

Gumshoe
Ehhhh!
'Turnabout Detective' was a lie?

Judge
It seems one person took it seriously.

Edgeworth
Detective Gumshoe, I suggest you focus on next month's salary review. (note 8)

Gumshoe
Uuugh.
My dream of chewy noodles is slipping away.

Oldbag
Well, now that the main character's been decided,
the next thing is to determine 'that.'

Edgeworth
What do you mean, 'that?'

Oldbag
The partner, of course.
I've always been behind Edgeworth 100%!
Surely I should be the partner!

Gumshoe
I, I won't allow it! I also...

Franziska
Objection!

Edgeworth
Franziska! What are you doing here?

Gumshoe
Ah! Could it be that Prosecutor Von Karma wants to be Prosecutor Edgeworth's partner, too?

<whip!>

Gumshoe
Ack! Ow! Eek!

Edgeworth
'muchi muchi no meN' (chewy noodles) and 'muchi muchi no MeI' (whipping Franziska)
'N' versus 'I' makes a big difference.

Franziska
I listened to your conversation.
However, given my 'Von Karma perfection'...
Miles Edgeworth! The role of main character can't be left to someone as wishy-washy as you.
If anyone should be the main character of 'Turnabout Prosecutor,' it's me!

Oldbag
Are you trying to challenge Edgey?
You've got quite a nerve! (note 9)

Franziska
I found this in the room. It's a page from the plan for 'Gyakuten Kenji.'
Perhaps you can tell us how this got here.

Edgeworth
Heh... Franziska. Are you sure you want to make your challenge something that simple?

Franziska
W-what do you mean?

Edgeworth
It's been bothering me since this all started.
The burglary that started this whole incident... the culprit must be nearby.
Take that!
They must be hiding on top of the bookcase.
Come down here.

<Mikumo appears>

Edgeworth
So it's you, Mikumo-kun!

<Mikumo runs away>

Edgeworth
She's taking her prank too far.
Detective Gumshoe, let's chase her down!

Gumshoe
Roger that!

Judge
We seem to have reached the high point of the show.

Oldbag
You're all abandoning this old lady, aren't you!
But once I'm Edgey's partner, we'll always be together, wherever we are!
The story of our love begi-

<Edgeworth turns off the monitor and leaves. Gumshoe follows.>

Franziska
Stop right there, Miles Edgeworth!
We haven't finished our match yet!

<Franziska and cameraman leave. Alone in the room, the Blue Badger tries to follow but trips and falls. He takes off his head, revealing Phoenix Wright inside. He faces the audience and signals 'shhh.'>

Notes:
8. Literally, "you should look forward to next month's salary review." However, I believe it's meant sarcastically, which also makes sense considering Gumshoe's next line.
9. Oldbag actually says something about Franziska not knowing her place, but that sounded a bit harsh.
