Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel)	comment	Gyakuten Kenji 2 (also unofficially known as Ace Attorney Investigations 2) is an Adventure Game and sequel to Ace Attorney spinoff Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. It was originally released for the Nintendo DS in Japan on February 3, 2011, with an iOS/Android version later coming on December 21, 2017.Two weeks after the events of the previous game, Edgeworth finds his position as a prosecutor threatened by Judge Justine Courtney, a member of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee, as he is accused of going beyond the bounds of the law in the pursuit of the truth. Edgeworth also finds himself reacquainted with defense attorney Raymond Shields, a former apprentice of Edgeworth's father who suggests that the prosecutor considers returning to follow his father's footsteps. In the midst of all this, Edgeworth has to deal with with several new cases, ranging from an attempted assassination of a foreign president to the last case Edgeworth's father worked on before his death.Gyakuten Kenji 2 features a new system called "Logic Chess". This does not necessitate playing chess, but instead acts as a visual metaphor. When Edgeworth can't find a fault in the witness' testimony, he can instead ask one of two questions. Asking the correct one will cause the player to "take" one of their "pieces", allowing the "game" to move further. An incorrect choice will have the reverse happen, and the player will lose points from their Truth meter.Currently, there are no plans for the game to be localized, but there is a Let's Translate on YouTube (complete as of September 29, 2013) while a full Fan Translated patch (subtitled "Prosecutor's Path" and featuring a complete localization of the dialogue) is currently available in English, and can be found here. To keep consistent with other Ace Attorney entries on TV Tropes, all entries referring to the sequel use the Prosecutor's Path localized information rather than the official Japanese information. note The reason why the game went into No Export for You territory was because the team itself was unable to get together in the timeframe whilst everyone was moving and leaving after the game was completed.

The flowers appear constantly in several locations, including a reenactment of the scene of the SS-5 Incident. The flower's meaning is "the bond between parent and child", the Central Theme of the game. The bouquet of Lion Lilies turn out to even be the final evidence that needs to be presented in order to bring down the Big Bad.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The game has many instances of corruption in the series' justice system and the first and last cases feature a case of political corruption as well. The biggest of these instances is Blaise Debeste who manages to put every other Amoral Attorney in the series to shame with his corrupt actions and sends Edgeworth into a Heroic BSoD and a 10-Minute Retirement as a result. Then there is the game's Big Bad who is a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds in contrast to the sociopathic and Large Ham villains in past games. Case 3 in particular is darker in tone than the rest of the series. It's a flashback case with almost no comic relief characters, primarily focusing on some of the most serious characters in the series (Gregory Edgeworth, Von Karma, and Tyrell Badd), and the player knows that it's a Foregone Conclusion that this case will lead directly to Gregory's death.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_2260cfe3	type	Like Father, Like Son
Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_2260cfe3	comment	Like Father, Like Son: Ray constantly makes mention of the similarities between both Edgeworths. The game even allows the player to play as Gregory in the third case, who makes the same remarks as Miles in multiple situations. They even have the exact same opinion about Katherine's desserts being too sweet for their taste. It comes to a head where Ray ends up taking near-identical photographs with the two Edgeworths in the past and present. Deconstructed with Dane Gustavia and Simon Keyes. Simon hated Gustavia for killing Isaac Dover, because a traumatic near-death experience had jumbled his memories and caused him to think that Dover was his father and not Gustavia. However, both Simon and Gustavia have the same habit of laughing maniacally when they believe there is no way their plans can fail, and Simon uses the exact same method of preserving the body of his victim that Gustavia had used: by freezing it, to throw off the time of death, even though he had no possible way of knowing that Gustavia used it. This is lampshaded by Edgeworth while he's cornering Keyes for the crime. Blaise and Sebastian Debeste have a shared tendency to believe they are more clever and brilliant than they actually are, to say nothing of certain childish quirks like playing with objects while they talk. They also got to their high positions by taking advantage of others. However, Sebastian had no idea his father 'helped' him so much (and is genuinely dismayed to find out) and decides to do things on his own merits once it all comes to light. Blaise and Sebastian are also the only two prosecutors in the series who actually wear their prosecutor's badge instead of keeping it in their pocket.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_38d02d44	comment	Episode 4 is where the Batman Gambit and Xanatos Gambit tropes most clearly overlap: he set up a meeting between Blaise Debeste and Jill Crane by communicating their secrets to each other, where one would inevitably kill the other. If Jill killed Blaise? Great, revenge achieved. If Blaise killed Jill (which he did)? Well then it was a good thing Simon also kidnapped Kay and made it look like she was working together with Jill. Blaise would then have to either kill Kay or frame her for Jill's murder (which is what happened), thus provoking the wrath of Miles Edgeworth, who would stop at nothing to bring Blaise to justice.

With that established, the point of final, big confrontation of Gregory's segment is not proving who the killer is, but proving von Karma forged evidence.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_447d9e50	comment	Xanatos Speed Chess: Edgeworth literally gets to do this with several major characters through the "Logic Chess" feature. Most notably Blaise Debeste. Simon Keyes probably pulls off the craziest gambit ever. He plots an insane plan to kill not only his best friend, Knightley (whose actions somewhat impacted Dover's death, and Keyes had incorrectly believed that Dover was his father), but also the three co-conspirators who tried to kill his mentor, Sirhan Dogen. He manipulates the circumstances around him and waits for the perfect opportunity to stage the murders (the events of case 2 and 4) so that his own hands wouldn't be dirty in the process. The only murder he doesn't plan is that of the body double; however, he successfully throws off the time of death to divert suspicion from himself. He would've gotten away with it all, too, if he had destroyed the evidence on the bottom of the hot-air balloon's basket.

Katherine, however, replies that this is her way of atoning for her crime, and that since the police had hidden the fact that they hadn't found the body, she couldn't trust him.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_44a7bea2	comment	Found the Killer, Lost the Murderer: The Big Bad's plan hinges on this trope. Every culprit Edgeworth catches killed someone ( Horace Knightley with Ethan Rooke, Patricia Roland with Horace Knightley, Blaise Debeste with Jill Crane), but these deaths only came about because the Big Bad set up the circumstances to prod the culprits into murder, knowing Edgeworth would get involved solve the case but be unable to find decisive evidence against the true instigator. It's especially impressive because this wasn't the original plan; Simon only came up with the idea of setting Edgeworth on his enemies after he was arrested for Horace's murder (which he'd set up, but Patricia had enacted) and Edgeworth had defended him by proving Patricia did it- thus allowing him to kill two birds with one stone by having Horace killed and Patricia arrested.

Case 5 has Edgeworth and Kay scramble to find John Marsh and the evidence for Patricia Roland's trial during its recess, as the former had been taken hostage to force his mother Justine Courtney declare a Not Guilty verdict as its judge and the latter had been disposed of by Blaise Debeste to also force the Not Guilty verdict.

Nobody in the room sees this coming, and everyone reacts with surprise and incredulity. In Case 5; Edgeworth is inspecting Knightley's possessions, being his portable chessboard and mysterious ring, the latter of which hasn't been properly looked at aside from Frank Sahwit describing it with a snowflake design. When Edgeworth does, it's revealed to be Pierre Hoquet's signet crest fashioned into a ring, revealing Knightley to be Issac Dover's son, as that was part of his inheritance. Also in case 5, Edgeworth has figured out there's more to SS-5 than on the surface, but can't uncover the truth because Blaise Debeste used his authority to suppress all information and evidence. Then a single picture drawn by the sole eyewitness that Lang's father kept safe for 12 years arrives. Even though it's crudely drawn, there's no mistaking President Huang standing there with the assassin Sirhan Dogen, making it clear that SS-5 was not a presidential kidnapping. It was an assassination.

However, the President engineered it himself as a PR stunt to boost his popularity. However, there were a few complications that arose: First of all, somebody hired Shelley de Killer to actually assassinate the President, but de Killer took offense when he learned that the "President" is actually an impostor who pulled a Kill and Replace on the real President a decade ago (a fact the player doesn't learn until the final episode of the game) and therefore his client was lying to him, so he abandoned the job. Second of all, one of the President's bodyguards was killed, which wasn't part of the plan. The other bodyguard killed him hoping he would be promoted to head bodyguard in his place, and tried to frame de Killer for it, who naturally got pissed off by this and forcefully conscripted Edgeworth into solving the case (ironically by holding the real killer hostage).

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Gets more and more obvious with time: "The bonds between parent and child" and by consequence, the influence of a parent in their child's life and vice-versa. The entire game, particularly after Ray appears draws constant parallels between Miles and Gregory. Sebastian is the victim of an abusive father and this turns him into a "Well Done, Son" Guy with little interest in anything besides getting the love of his father becoming instantly more competent and grounded once he decides to turn his back to his father. Other Abusive Parents also appear in the game, namely Gustavia and Dover who respectively only used his son for his work and the other threatened his son to kidnap his friend, both are considered inhumane by the other characters and severely messed up their sons. On the other end of the spectrum, you have Courtney and John. Courtney actively states that carrying an image of her son around with her gives her strength and courage in her job and John, being Happily Adopted is a incredibly well adjusted, if a little hot headed, kid, who even tampered the crime scene in order to help his mom and refused to avenge his father simply because he knew that it would make his mom sad. Their healthy and loving relationship is a Foil to the Abusive Parents in the game and shows how far in the side of the good Courtney really is. The end shows that John also respects his biological parents, who truly cared for him after all. Miles lampshades to Courtney that the Goddess of Law is also a motherly one, since she understands attenuating circumstances, like Courtney's own. The Big Bad, Simon Keyes was betrayed and abused by every authority figure they should have been able to rely on, including his father and the caretaker of the orphanage he was in. The former only used him for his career and the latter tortured him in an attempt to keep him quiet about the SS-5 Incident. When he seems to have found a Parental Substitute in Sirhan Dogen, it's implied that Sirhan has softened to him and he became the one person Simon actually relies on, becoming a Family of Choice. Several main characters struggle with their relationship with their parents in the end of the game. Lang, in the last case, is attempting to solve the case that send his family into shame, particularly, his father several of the evidences he gather are actually what his father could gather with his own investigation. Franziska has decided to leave her father's influence behind her, and make something of herself, independent of whatever her father did in the past. The end of the game shows that Gregory is still a huge influence in Edgeworth's life, even as he intends to keep on being a prosecutor, he intends to take his father teachings with him about how to save people. The ending implies that Kay will also attempt to get out of her father's shadow and start her own path as the Yatagarasu. There's a second theme of the imperfections of the law and how the villains abuse it for their own gain. At least 3 people (Katherine Hall, Jill Crane, and Simon Keyes) resorted to vigilantism either because the law didn't allow them to legally pursue justice, or there was some corrupt official burying the truth and preventing the whistle from being blown. Edgeworth concludes at the end that many of the tragedies of the game could have been prevented if the law itself had been properly safeguarded by worthy guardians, and chooses to stay as a prosecutor so he can work his way up and reform it from the inside.

It also pops up again later as a nonexistent inconvenience, where Shi-Long Lang acknowledges the murder of Di-Jun Huang very clearly took place on Japanifornia grounds, meaning that Extraterritorial Rights wouldn't apply and there would be unrestricted investigation.

Justified, since the case switches between a flashback and the present, and it's a Foregone Conclusion that the case wasn't solved then and Gregory was never able to confront the real killer. Manfred von Karma is also imprisoned or dead by the present day, so he can't return for when Miles finally solves the case. Sirhan Dogen in both of the cases in which he features. You even get the Presto theme during his testimony in the last case.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_79a60aec	comment	For Want Of A Nail: The entire series would not exist if not for Isaac Dover, who made his son kidnap and detain Dane Gustavia's son. Without his son to taste his food for him, Gustavia had no hope of winning the dessert contest, forcing him to sneak into Jeff Master's room and take a picture of the cure to his taste disorder, where Dover caught him and threatened him with blackmail. This led to Gustavia killing Dover, Kate finding the body, Gustavia hiding the body before the cops showed up, and Kate accidentally hiding the body even more. Since the cops Never Found the Body, von Karma forced a confession out of Master, received his first penalty for it and had his precious perfect record ruined, causing him to murder Gregory Edgeworth and adopt Miles, turning him into a infamously ruthless prosecutor, which made Phoenix decide to become a defence lawyer in order to face him in court and find out why he had changed so much. In Case 5, the victim would've been Justine Courtney instead of the fake Di-Jun Huang hadn't Simon accidentally happened upon their meeting on the Grand Tower's rooftop while flying the circus' hot-air balloon, causing the fake to usher Courtney away and try to shoot Simon with a gun he was planning to kill Courtney with, only to get squashed by the hot-air balloon.

Curiously, however, he still says he thanks his father for bringing him to where he is now, although he refuses to walk along the same path any longer. It's very clear by the second game that the pedestal Franziska held her father and his ideals on has crumbled, since she actively avoids directly referring to him, except where Sebastian is concerned, and even then, she doesn't often say "my Papa" like she used to. The one time she does, it's because she's in shock from learning exactly what caused the black mark on his record all those years ago. On the rare occasions where she does refer to her father, it is without the pride she used to always use when talking about him, usually indirectly comparing him to Sebastian's father. Shelley once again falls under this trope, having another client that betrays his trust.

The corrupt organization encompassing P.I.C. head Blaise Debeste, prison warden Patricia Roland and Zheng Fa "president" (actually body double) Di-Jun Huang is significantly and obviously more powerful, influential and menacing than the game's actual Big Bad Simon Keyes, but they aren't the ones who drive and instigate the main conflict. In fact, he ends up destroying them all behind the scenes, thus technically elevating himself to a similar scope. In a sense, Blaise Debeste ends up being this to the original trilogy due to being the Chief Prosecutor who gave von Karma his one penalty, which would drive Manfred to commit murder and start the DL-6 incident. In a similar way, Dane Gustavia for committing the murder that lead to the DL-6 incident, and Issac Dover, for being the instigator. Issac is also responsible for the rise of the game's Big Bad.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Shelly de Killer drops a hint to the mastermind's identity in the very first case, long before you even know there is a mastermind. Namely, he says he was hired by "a key individual". Said client, and the mastermind, turns out to be Simon Keyes. It's even more explicit in the Japanese script, as Shelly outright refers to to the client as a monkey. At the end of Case 2, Regina comments that Simon is smarter than he looks. He most certainly is. In the first case, Huang's body double "survives" his staged assassination attempt because he supposedly had on a bulletproof vest (it was prepared ahead of time). It's then mentioned how even while wearing a bulletproof vest, the impact from a bullet can still hurt you and even break your bones. In the final case, the body double is killed for real. He was crushed to death, with every bone in his body broken. Given Courtney's age (26), it's really unlikely that she could be the biological mother of John Marsh (13). Then "The Grand Turnabout" rolls around, and you find out that she isn't. At one point in the game, Simon says that he doesn't like sweets. Given that he used to have a grand affinity for them by being his father's taste tester, but nearly died because of this. If you're familiar with American history around the 20th century, you might find a name in the fan translation very familiar. Sirhan Dogen shares his first name with Sirhan Sirhan; the man responsible for assassinating Robert F Kennedy, brother to President John F Kennedy. Sirhan Dogen is later revealed to have assassinated President Di-Jun Huang. During Logic Chess, Edgeworth's imaginary pieces involve him playing with white pieces against his opponent, who he imagines is defending with black pieces. His second opponent, Di-Jun Huang also defends with black pieces, and his Chess Motif and map marker depict him as the white King, but when it's revealed that he's a body-double/imposter of the now-deceased Di-Jun Huang, his map marker is now a black King, which he truly represents. In Case 1, Horace Knightley notes that the strange one-horned cow toy the president owns is apparently a very treasured keepsake to him, yet the president just refers to it as "that stuffed animal". Guess the body-double didn't know the real president that well. Also, Knightley being held hostage by de Killer holding a knife to his throat hints at the nature of his death: stabbed in the neck with an assassin's blade. After Edgeworth is hit with a major snag in Case 1 regarding the facts, his logic and the evidence that breaks his case, Kay suggests that if the facts don't match with the evidence, then there's probably something wrong with the evidence. Not only was she right about this as Case 1's murder weapon was switched, Case 4 has Edgeworth discover that the autopsy report itself was tampered with. The culprit of case 1 has a Villainous Breakdown that involves getting hit in the head with a Thinker statue, foreshadowing his future role as a murder victim. Later on, Edgeworth finds a moping Shelly de Killer, who's still griping about the events of Case 1 where he was sent to kill a false target, foreshadowing that President Di-Jun Huang was a fake. Kay's confusion resulting from mixing up Gourd Lake with the Grand Tower's viewing platform results in her thinking that the man in the red raincoat was floating in mid-air. Case 5 reveals this is technically true, as Simon Keyes had access to a hot air balloon and could in fact float in mid-air.

Edgeworth alludes to Psyche-Locks during a conversation in case 5. There are reappearances of "John Doe" (Shelly de Killer), Frank Sahwit, Polly the Parrot and Gourd Lake. Plus, there is a flashback case involving Gregory Edgeworth. Pretty much the entire Case 3 is this. But it doesn't stop there — you also find out who the Chief Prosecutor who gave Manfred Von Karma the penalty was and who brought down Lang's family reputation in Zheng Fa. The last two statements in Frank Sahwit's "When I Found the Body" are direct references to his testimony from the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:

Dogen is an interesting play on this trope. At the start of the game, he is sitting in a luxury prison cell. At the end of the game, he is sitting in a luxury prison cell. And the game never properly resolves the fact that this Professional Killer had access to a dog, a luxury cell, and (as was revealed in Episode 5) is able to get out of prison whenever it suits him. Shields reveals that it's still possible for Dane Gustavia to get Off on a Technicality even after being caught, as his conviction relies heavily upon Jeff Master's accomplice charge, though it's also implied that the law can be changed in time for this to be averted. Justine Courtney uses fabricated evidence to get Kay arrested for murder, and withholds evidence that would remove her from investigative authority in Case 4, and she receives no comeuppance for this illegal shenanigans.

There's no way to hold Gustavia without accepting Master's conviction as genuine; conversely, showing Master to be entirely innocent means the statute had expired and the killer can go free.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_d2796e58	comment	Clothing-Concealed Injury: In "The Forgotten Turnabout", there is an inverted example of the victim having a unrelated burn mark on her hand that was visible when her body is discovered, but then it turns out she normally wears gloves to hide them. There was a taped recording of the murder, with the lone piece of dialogue determined to be the culprit mentioning the victim's burns. But when it was revealed the victim was actually wearing gloves during her murder, this meant the recording was actually the victim talking about the culprit's burn mark. A straight example of this trope follows, as the culprit was exposed when it was determined he was hiding his burn under his fake beard.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_ddeaea82	comment	Miscarriage of Justice: Jeff Master. He confesses to the crime because the prosecution threatens to charge Katherine for being an accomplice. Gregory Edgeworth is able to prove that the confession was coerced, but is unable to prove that the body was falsified due to a coverup in the higher ranks of the prosecutor's office. This gets undone at the end of his case, thankfully as the real killer was caught. This trope is also the reason Simon Keyes decides to enact justice on his own — knowing the Prosecutor's Office was corrupt at the highest level, he never dared come forward with the truth. Edgeworth resolves to spend the rest of his life as an Internal Reformist so that people can trust the Prosecutor's Office again.

Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Visual Novel) / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: In the first case, a pistol with a Laser Sight is treated as a poor choice for an assassin because it would immediately give away the shooter's position. This is a fair assessment to some degree, but everyone's dialogue and the game's artwork implies that in this universe, the laser was a visible beam of light and not just a single point. Possibly justified by the fact it had been raining, and the moisture in the air would make the beam more visible, but still counts because no one mentions the weather as a reason. Note that the game itself is a bit inconsistent about this, with the laser appearing as a line in one photo and a dot in another.
