The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve/Final Chapter: The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo/Trial, Part 3: Difference between revisions

Ten years ago, while Mael Stronghart is still a prosecutor at his time faces a major problem: crime is rampant in London until he comes up with who is going to play the "Professor"? Klint van Zieks! So he uses him and his team to hunt down and kill the criminals in order keep the peace. But Yujin Mikotoba and Seishiro Jigoku who were visiting London also heard the rumors about the "Professor". Genshin Asogi wanted Stronghart to intervene to no avail.

So Genshin Asogi confronted Klint van Zieks in his home to write the truth for him which is a three page note, turning into "Asogi's paper". Asogi proposes that they duel to allow Klint an honorable death, and Klint accepts provided that he be allowed to write a last will and testament confessing his crimes, and that Asogi would ensure protection for Klint's pregnant wife. Genshin keeps the third page of his will hidden in Karuma's hilt intending for Kazuma to discover it years later and reveal the truth. Klint confesses to his wife before he and Genshin duel, resulting in Klint's death from a stab wound to his heart. After fleeing the van Zieks estate, Asogi encounters Baron, Klint's younger brother, along the way. On the street, they run into a group of thugs led by Tobias Gregson as a front to steal Asogi's ring, which would later be used as the key evidence to falsely indict Genshin of being the Professor. Asogi is shot in his left hand whilst trying to protect Barok; his ring is stolen, and he is arrested.

In the prison, to save his son, Kazuma from further trauma, Genshin accepts Mael Stronghart's condition to admit that he is the "Professor". Using the information on the last page of Klint van Ziek's will, Asogi bargains with Stronghart to devise an escape plan for himself after a fake execution, knowing that the reveal of the Professor being a member of the British nobility could cause a massive uproar in British society, and damage the people's faith in their law enforcement. But Stronghart is desperate to find the last page of his will to no avail. During the trial after plenty of attempts from Baron van Zieks, he is able to prosecute for the Professor case, where Genshin admits guilt to the charges of murder. With the exception of Seishiro Jigoku going way too far and end up breaking the witness stand.

But before Genshin Asogi was charged, in the room, consisting of Courtney Stevens (or Sithe ten years later), John Wilson and Yujin Mikotoba examining the death of Klint van Zieks. As John Wilson asks Yujin for a scalpel, he obtained the ring under the orders of Tobias Gregson and Mael Stronghart, he pretended to take it out. Despite Yujin's concern, he writes it in anyway with John Wilson signing the document off and Courtney Stevens completing the description of Klint's death into the autospy report.

After the fake execution, Genshin Asogi emerges out of his coffin in Lowgate Cemetery, but this spectacle is witnessed by Enoch Drebber, a university student who graverobs as a side hustle. Realizing that he might spread rumors that the "Professor" is still alive, Mael Stronghart is forced to abandon his promise to allow Genshin to escape the cemetery, and makes Seishiro Jigoku shoot him, ending his life. They check his body for the last page of Klint's will before burying him in his grave again. The same night, Esmeralda Tusspells visits Lowgate Cemetery to dig up the body of the Professor and make a wax mold of him. The gravekeeper notified Stronghart of this, and Stronghart makes a deal with Tusspells that she never takes off the metal mask of her wax sculpture or reveal his identity to anyone. Shortly after this, Governor Caidin pins the blame on Daley Vigil for aiding and abetting Genshin in his escape, making him a scapegoat. In the news to Japan, Kazuma's family has Genshin's belongings returned except for the ring. After Klint's death, Balmung also dies, and years later the cat burglar Selden would steal Balmung's golden collar from Klint's manor and hide it in his secret hideout in John Garrideb's flats, which Natsume Soseki would later rent. Vigil is fired from his job by Governor Caidin, and Baron van Ziek becomes well known as "The Reaper" over the next five years. The pressure and rumors push him to retire for another five years. Meanwhile, Mael Stronghart has been promoted to Defense Minister.

Ten years later, Mael Stronghart sends a telegram which is suppose to be an "assassin exchange" to the now judge Jigoku. Though Asa Shinn is able to kill John Wilson, despite Ryunosuke Naruhodo innocence, Shinn is able to walk free, under the watchful eye from Hosonoga. But Asa Shinn goes by the name Jezaille Brett at the time. Coming out of retirement, Baron van Zieks challenges Ryunosuke Naruhodo to prove his worth as a defense lawyer, thrown into the Magnus McGuilded case, which turns into a calamity while meeting Gina Lestrade, a pickpocket who shot the smoke grenade launcher in the middle of the court case, ending with a fire in the carriage, set up by Ashley Graydon's paid officers.

Sholmes who predicted it after the news from Japan, goes on the ship after Kazuma has been knocked unconcious with amnesia were sent to Hong Kong to be picked up, after allowing Naruhodo to absolve of his crime. With little choice, Ryunosuke and Susato join together as a defense attorney team, working together as a study tour group. Because of that Seishiro Jigoku has his hands tied as he's expecting Kazuma to take on the task: assassinate Inspector Gregson.

In the court case involving the death of Windibanks, it's revealed that Magnus McGuilded is trying to obtain the disks made by Ashley Milverton's father. However, Gina has been acquited of murder. But by the end of the day before Susato boards the steamship, translate the Japanese morse code as an "assassin exchange" telegram. Also, Ryunosuke Naruhodo is suspended for six months for the trouble he caused in revealing secrets and the McGuilded case which turned out to be a major setup.

A few months later, Susato playing a female lawyer Ryutaro, defends Rei for the death of Jezaille Brett who has been murdered by Raiten Menimemo. But during that time, it's revealed after clearing Natsume for Olive Green's coma, Shamspeare tried and failed to get the loot from Selden in Garrideb's residence. But the loot turn's out to be a jewellery with a capital B on it.

During the science tower case, Mael Stronghart revealed that he found Kazuma Asogi who has amnesia at the time, to be given a mask and to be looked after Baron van Zieks. It's revealed during the court case, Courtney Sithe, under Mael Stronghart direct orders wants her to falsify the record at the time. Also, Stronghart wants Miss Tusspell to keep the "Professor" masked. But in the end of the case, Kazuma's memory has returned and uses Karuma that Naruhodo looked after to slice the wax before leaving.

Leading to the Red-Headed League, Tobias Gregson enlist the help of Vigil who has been fired ten years ago for letting the "Professor" escape. As Gregson goes on the ship, Vigil goes without his disguise but has been detained by the leaders of the group but was let go soon after a neck strangle. Later on, Sholmes tried to join, only to be noticed by the same leaders that leads to Gina, arresting them and taking them to the police station.

On the steamship "Grouse", Kazuma questioned Gregson before signing in the hotel for the night. Not before he left a slash on his metal trunk, leaving a sword chip behind. On the other hand, Seishiro who is also on the ship, use the opportunity to end Gregson's life and left it in trunk, not knowing about the fish and chips that has been affected by the heat and the refridgerator of the ship. Also, this takes place while the Russian sailors were doing a twenty minute drill in which the blonde Strogenov is involved at the time.

Due to his status, Seishiro Jigoku is able to get off the steamship along with Yujin Mikotoba while meeting up with Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Susato for a photo shoot. Seishiro orders a ride with his trunk that has Gregson inside after being chilled in the freezer of the ship to where Hugh Boone aka Daley Vigil lives. He bought enough firecrackers from Miss Venus and left it on the candle like a timer. He also left a broken pocket watch and a police winder and a red wig behind, making it looked like he finished investigating the Red-Headed League. Also, he carried the pocket watch tinker in his large suitcase.

While the trial of the death of Inspector Gregson was ongoing, at the same time, Seishiro Jigoku is trying to escape back to Japan via France, Dunkirk. But Yujin Mikotoba and Herlock Sholmes were hot on his trail. So Jigoku tries to covered up the crime in his room while leaving the drink with ice behind, blocking the pipe and throwing the paper drill in the bin. Not to mention paying the blonde Strogenov to pretend that he's not here and leaving the suitcase number upside down on his left arm.

In a final twist, when the trio heard the "gunshot" at 5pm, Daley Vigil dressed up as Gossip, pushed down the board with his hands covered in blood, coming in after Baron who came in first to pick up a gun, just ending up being spotted, while Miss Venus took the broken pocket watch and Sandwich taking Inspector Gregson's metal suitcase. At the same time, Mrs. Vigil asks Herlock Sholmes to find her husband that has been missing but later on, Gina Lestrade asks everyone for help with the news that the "Reaper" killed Gregson in Vigil's room that's been arranged. So your group and Gina arrived to the crime scene to start the investigation. And that's how it really happened.
