The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve/Episode 1: The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney/Trial, Part 1

Defendants' Antechamber
You start off as Susato Mikotoba, daughter of Yujin Mikotoba who is here to defend Rei as a male lawyer named Ryutaro. In the Meiji period, women weren't allowed to be lawyers at the time. Check your history books on Japanese history for more. Anyway, because of that, and the fact that her friend is still in the United Kingdom, she's forced to dress up as a boy and have her father assist her in the proceedings. Prosecutor Auchi is back again so you have to contend with him.

You meet Rei for the first time and you try to tell her not to blow your cover since you don't want the prosecutor and the judge to find out that you're not a male lawyer. If you're wondering what she's wearing, it's not her usual kimono but a black uniform with a cap on to disguise her hair.

Trial begins
You start off with introductions as you claim to be Narahudo's cousin. You'll get a similar feeling to the last game without the penalties in the beginning thankfully. But after the cross examination, if you keep getting the wrong answer, it's game over. Anyway, if you remember Jezaille Brett, she tried to frame Narahudo for the murder of John Wilson. This time as a twist, Jezaille gets murdered instead and Rei is frame for the murder. On the first one, choose "Killer" as a description of her character. On the second one, choose the "Autospy Report" on the condition of her death.

Next is the cross examination. If you remember Inspector Honosuga, he pretends to be the waiter to catch the culprit. This time though, he wears like, diving clothes with a small turtle on his head. The other is surprisingly Gregson. He came back from England for a holiday but his character can be over the top. Simply, he likes to yell a lot and does the strange signs with the first letter in his description. But who's the person behind him with a camera taking pictures while Gregson does his poses? You won't see him until Susate gets to cross examine him on the second half of the trial. Hope that no one suspects that Susate is really a woman lawyer as the pressure slowly goes up in a closed court!

The Witnessed Scene: Cross Examination
Present the Autospy Report on statement 5. You correct Hosunaga that the report only says a single stab and there's really no indication that there is multiple stabbings. Congratulations on your first cross examination but that's only the beginning.
