The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve/Final Chapter: The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo/Trial, Part 2

Trial resumes
Court is now back in session. This is pretty rare since you rarely get a chance to cross examine a judge. Not only that, he's Japanese! Seishiro will greet the court in his usual manner. But before you get a chance to cross examine him, you need evidence, connecting him to his crime, concerning the death of Tobias Gregson, the inspector and mentor to Gina Lestrade. Present the telegram. He suddenly looks angry and asks where you get the info. Ryunosuke responds that he got it from Hosunogo in Japan, that's been given to Sholmes then to you. With that out of the way, it's time to get to the bottom of this!

The Assassin Exchange: Cross Examination
This one is really simple. Present the Crew Itinery Notice on Statement 5. You point out that no crime has been committed during the drill, which leaves the time outside the drill questionable. Then Judge Jigoku will once again point out that there was no incident in his room. You will point out that something did very much happen. Sadly you have no picture of the bullet hole, so you have to present evidence of what other items were found in the room. Present the Small Component. Which coincidentally, perfectly fits Gregson's pocket watch. Which means Gregson was very much certainly on the SS Grouse that day! Next Jigoku will testify about what happened in the cabin.

The Events in the Cabin: Cross Examination
Press Statement 5. Jigoku will mention that there was no possible way to move the body from the ship to the mainland. He's granted permission from Mael Stronghart to amend his statement. You would think you could present the big trunk Jigoku was in, but it's not in the Court Record except for one sneaky piece of evidence! Present the Commemorative Photograph on the newly amended Statement 5. Which becomes obvious because as a minister of Foreign Affairs in Japan, he is exempt of getting his luggage checked, which means he could have had Gregson inside of his luggage when he met with Ryunosuke and Susato in the Waterloo Hotel.

However, Kazuma continues the claim that Gregson was killed on Fresno Street. But you now have evidence to completely destroy that claim! Present the Photograph of the Victim. Now you can point out that Gregson was curled into a ball to fit in the trunk, and he still is in the crime scene photo. He couldn't have been in any other way, because he died instantly according to the autopsy report.

Now, both Kazuma and Jigoku are the only possible assailants, and both have the opportunity to kill. You get the question if Kazuma could have killed Gregson. Answer with impossible. He couldn't have done it, because: ''' Present the Crew Itinerary Notice. ''' The reason that it's ruled out because of the flashback or yesterday, in which Kazuma confirmed that he left for the hotel after leaving Gregson behind. And he has the signature to prove it.

With nothing left, Seishiro Jigoku, in a fit of rage, destroyed the stand admitting defeat. He confessed in a summary, that he has to take over in killing Gregson, if Kazuma haven't lost his life and allow you, Ryunosuke Naruhodo to be his substitute lawyer. But because of his status, he's able to bring his giant trunk to Fresno Street, buy firecrackers from Miss Venus and use the hair piece to elaborately set it up as if Baron Van Zieks has killed him while leaving the gun behind. However, he overlooked the fish and chips as they have been eradicated through the climate and the freezer of the steam ship. Anyway, he's declared guilty and signed a confession, admitting the truth.

Even though this might be over, Kazuma surprised everyone that he's going to prove Baron Van Zieks to the end that he's completely guilty of murdering his father! So Mael Stronghart agrees and and refire's the juror charmber for another case. Van Ziek agrees to testify about the case that Kazuma is concerned about. Of course, you can overlook that wooden stand has repaired itself after Jigoku broke it!

The Reaper and the Assassin Exchange: Cross Examination
This one is fairly simple because there is a connection between the Van Zieks, Klint and Genshin Asogi. Present Klint's Autospy Report on Statement 4. Stronghart is really losing his cool and tries to stop this court case. But Kazuma wants to know who really is "The Reaper". Baron Van Zieks narrows the candidates including himself. So, if it's not Asogi or Van Zieks, it's the person playing judge in this very courtroom: Present Mael Stronghart!

Kazuma still maintains that it was Baron Van Zieks who planned the killing of his dad when you step in and throw some sense into him. After a logical explanation from Stronghart, before another adjournment, Kazuma objects and thank you for unlcouding his judgement. So who's the witness that is there that penned the questionable Klint's Autospy Report: Present Yujin Mikotoba! Although everyone thought it was Doctor Wilson who wrote the autospy, it was actually Yujin who penned the whole thing! But Stronghart reject the witness and punishes Kazuma for prolonging this trial without a second thought.

A sudden entrance
Just when Kazuma has lost all hope and with no further evidence to produce yet, Herlock Sholmes makes a surprise entrance! He appealed to the audience to allow this court case to continue, despite Mael Stronghart trying to end the session as early as he can. The audience agrees and calls for Stronghart to continue. He gives in and before he knows it, Yujin Mikotoba is already waiting outside the courtroom, ready to come in! He reminds you should you get stuck, pull Hurley's doll ears to get help from him.

Get ready to go all the way before Mael Stronghart blows his trumpet!
