My ranking of every main series Ace Attorney character! Part 1

On December 7, 2025, I asked my best friend if I should play Ace Attorney, because I knew he liked the series a lot. Later that same day, I started The First Turnabout.

On April 15, 2026, I finished Turnabout Time Traveler and will start Investigations in July when he visits me. Suffices to say, I was sentenced to an obsession with the lawyer game.

Since I did the same thing with Danganronpa a few years back, I'm gonna go over every major character and write out my opinions on them, working my way up from least favorite to my most favorite, kind of like a tier list on steroids!

Here's some things to note before we get started;

1. Spoilers ahead for all the mainline games, DLC cases and all!

2. I won't be including victims or other characters without proper speaking roles in my rankings since we don't know much about them, but for completion’s sake… My favorite victim is Gregory Edgeworth and my least favorite is Kane Bullard.

3. I love or at the very least like every, and I mean EVERY character! They all have enjoyable qualities, so this will be an extremely long post of me joyously gushing!

With that said, let's begin with character #123. Dr. Turner Grey! Now, I have nothing against him. I think he's pretty funny, with him losing his shit over the weather girl being wrong. If anything, I also sort of understand where he's coming from.

#122 is Frank Sahwit! He may be a bit of a dumbass culprit, but I'm fond of him because he's part of the introduction to this great series. Also, his breakdown had me absolutely rolling! My guy snatched his own weave lol.

#121 is Florent L'Belle. I like it when certain characters have a speech gimmick, it makes their dialogue A LOT more unique. I also thought his breakdown was GREAT, and it was still THE weakest of the ones in Dual Destinies if you ask ME! Anyway, I love the idea of this CONCEITED guy with phones on his shoulders, AND the callback to him in Inga's room!

#120 is Paul Atishon. I feel like Spirit Of Justice breakdowns are almost like Danganronpa executions and this one definitely falls into that category. Anyway, I thought he was funny, what with how he's so much of a loser not even nepotism can save him.

#119 is Olga Orly. I preferred her before her ‘true self reveal’ and I can also attribute her low placement to the fact I don't like Turnabout Trump. At the same time though, she's super well designed and really funny, especially the whole “I TRIED TO CHEAT AND IT DIDN'T WORK!!!” bit. I guess that's what you get for trying to slight an undefeated poker champion.

#118 is Gaspen Payne! I thought it was funny that he tried to have Phoenix executed, and honestly, I'd love to hear the story of how he became chief prosecutor in Khura'in. Not that it's surprising, with how broken the legal system of that country is.

#117 is the judge's brother. I may not have cared for his attitude, but he's still silly looking and just as much of a champion of intelligence as his brother!

#116 is Bucky Whet! I have admiration for how he wants to carry on the soba legacy of his family, even if he has a bit of a drinking problem. Hopefully, he can go to AA!

#115 is Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in! I will say, she makes all the other final big bads look like Spongebob and Fluttershy in comparison. She's genuinely horrifying, and Revolution was one of the few cases that managed to recapture the nerves the first game made me feel when I was playing through it. I feel like she could've had a better breakdown, though, but the gimmick of her actively rewriting the law during the trial is brilliant.

#114 is Amara Sigatar Khura'in. She seems genuinely sweet and clearly cares deeply about others. My thing is, she didn't have a lot of screen time so I didn't really have the chance to get attached to her.

#113 is Guy Eldoon. The whole harmonica shtick was silly, I'd love to try a bowl of his noodles, even if it'd have so much sodium I'd shrivel up and die on the spot. Out of everyone, I did not expect THIS guy to have been a doctor.

#112 is the Khura'inese judge. The judges are pretty similar, I admit, but I thought him having a more apparent and frequently mentioned life outside the courtroom made him feel more humanized.

#111 is Yuri Cosmos. His breakdown was great, and I liked him droning on and on about how cool space is and how cool he is!

#110 is Jinxie Tenma. The whole sleepwalking situation, trying to mislead us into believing SHE was the one possessed by Tenma Taro, is great! I'm happy for her making more friends, even if her friends are probably yokai.

#109 is Norma DePlume. As an aspiring author myself, she gets some points just for that. Her damage sprite being a reference to the skirt blowing scene from The Seven Year Itch is super funny. In general, I also think it's great she's willing to admit she was wrong or that her opinions changed.

#108 is Penny Nichols. She might not have been the most impactful character, but I loved that she wanted to trade that damn card so badly because I would have done the same. The sprite for it is also hilarious!

#107 is Lisa Basil! I think she has a great design, and I was also amused by how all the people she works with have anagrams as their names (Glen Elg, Adam Mada and she herself.)

#106 is Drew Misham. I have a weakness for dads, especially good ones. He tried his best for his daughter, and I go psycho lock over that kinda stuff!

#105 is Romein LeTouse. Out of every Ace Attorney character, his name probably pisses me off the most, but that's a good thing. I almost crashed out when I first heard it. Anyway, I felt bad for him and I wish he had more screentime.

#104 is Victor Kudo. He has a GREAT theme, which is on my Ace Attorney playlist! (Yeah, I'm gonna start pointing this out too.) Anyway, I'm glad his grandkids remembered his birthday, him and his javacchinos lol.

#103 is Director Hotti! His broken zipper teeth alone amuse me enough to warrant this placement. I wonder what he's up to.

#102 is Roger Retinz, otherwise known as Mr. Reus! His breakdown is the most Danganronpa execution one for sure. I love the idea that he was too fraudulent a magician to work with the Gramaryes and is still seething over it. His theme is on my playlist too… Hang loose, baby!

#101 is Ellen Wyatt. Definitely one of the best, most amusing sprite sets in the franchise, the one where she's crying into the pan had me rolling when I first saw it. I'm glad she got her happily ever after with…

#100, Sorin Sprocket! I feel awful for this guy, what is it with people losing their sisters in car accidents when they were driving?! Anyway, I wanted to say their threshold carry scene made me tear up :’)

And now… #99! That is to say, Sasha Buckler! She's awesome! I mean, my favorite animal is the orca so she gets points for that, and also, for being ambitious and wholly entertaining.

#98 is… ahem. Inga Karkhuul Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III. What? I gotta show him the proper respect! Anyway, he says ‘balls’, that's instantly two extra points. I feel like he acts as a decoy, making us think he'll be the big bad… only for Ga'ran to take that role. Anyway, again with the dads, he most definitely raised Rayfa as his own and having her birthday set as the code to his safe hit me a bit.

#97 is Solomon “Sol” Starbuck! He reminds me of Jesse Pinkman, he gives me the impression he'd be voiced by the guy who voices Jesse in Hungarian. The sighing bit he did was great, as was him pulling himself together and eventually managing to go back to space.

#96 is Winston Payne! I like that he always came back as the first prosecutor, in the 2D games at the very least. Mia making his hair fall out was beautiful and I was kinda hoping Apollo would do the same thing.

#95 is the bellboy (that swore the affidavit!!!) I really like his design and for how irrelevant he is in the grand scheme of things, I found his testimony extremely memorable.

#94 is Benjamin “Ben” Woodman! His dynamic with Trillo is great, so I gotta give him the accolades for that, it's like outsourcing self-depricating humor.

#93 is Shelly de Killer. CB radio showing up is still one of the funniest witness testimonies to date, especially cause the radio has a full sprite set! In general, the assassin choosing to testify? Chef's kiss! Of course it was the fucking butler who killed the guy…

#92 is Mimi Miney. If I had a nickel for every character who accidentally killed their sister when they were driving… Anyway, I liked the way the whole switchup was orchestrated, and her assuming her sister's identity is a great twist!

#91 is Alita Tiala. Now listen, I'm trying to keep this as positive as possible, but I will say she has THE weakest breakdown in the series if you ask me, especially compared to the next two culprits of Apollo Justice. Her Japanese name (Minami Namina) is hilarious. My best friend and I meme her to absolute hell, so that makes me love her–

Wait. You're telling me I love so many Ace Attorney characters that some of them haven't even made it into the first NINETY??! Oh absolutely.

And now, let's clap it up for #90, TED TONATE! HIS BREAKDOWN IS VERY GOOD. IT SET A GOOD PRECEDENT FOR THE REST OF DUAL DESTINIES. ALSO, HIS BEADY EYES AMUSE ME.

#89 is Damian Tenma. The bit about how he's scary but is actually a genuinely nice person is really sweet. Same with how he came up with the whole Amazing Nine Tails thing to combat the merger even if he was pushing for it publicly.

#88 is Betty de Famme. Her transformation was really something, and the reveal her and her sister were a package deal was clever! I liked that she fell back towards the end, at least a little. Also that she's in denial about being a fan of Trucy’s.

#87 is Bonny de Famme. I like her and Betty about the same but Bonny's Trucy rant won me over. They kind of remind me of another pair of twins, but I'm glad these two are in a better place.

#86 is Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin. I'm gonna be honest, this name was the moment when I really knew they went off the walls with the names in Spirit Of Justice. MAN do these people love their transformations! Setting that aside, the metal shtick and the unique speech blip were great!

#85 is Phineas Filch. He's funny. That's it. That's my argument. He's the type of guy to steal your thesaurus and then, when you accuse him, say you're peddling falsehoods.

#84 is Luke Atmey. Zvarri, the truth has once again been elegantly revealed to me! (This line joined my and my best friend's dictionary instantly.) Now, Atmey is a pretty clever culprit for what it's worth, with him wanting to take the larceny charge to pin the murder on Ron being a great plot element.

#83 is Jean Armstrong. He's kind of like the anti Larry… Him dancing and messing around his rose is pretty silly. Someone send him to cooking lessons please.

#82 is Winfred Kitaki. He reminds me of the dad from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and that's all I have to say about that. He clearly cares about his son deeply.

#81 is Beh'leeb Inmee. I feel for her, her grief was depicted in a way that was both realistic and just straight up heartbreaking. Her being a rebel really surprised me. Really, I'm glad she managed to find her one true love and that she got to meet with…

#80, Tahrust Inmee. His relationship with his wife was extremely touching, especially how far he was willing to go to protect her. I wish none of this would've had to happen to them. I like these two about the same.

#79 is Morgan Fey. I remember playing Reunion and Turnabout for the first time and thinking her character arc was kind of underwhelming, but that they will definitely do more with her at some point. I'm glad I ended up being right. Her obsession with securing Pearl the role of the master even if it hurts the one she's supposedly trying to “help” makes her a bit more of a realistic evil as opposed to how cartoonish some of the others can get.

#78 is Pierce Nichody. Listen. He's really hot. That's why I like him as much as I do, because he's hot. Oh yeah, and I feel terrible for him losing Selena, especially cause he was the surgeon operating on her.

#77 is the judge. Sometimes I kinda see our main judge as set dressing, since he shows up in 27 of the 30 cases I'm touching on today. Other than Phoenix, he's the only character to show up in every game I'm pretty sure. But still, he's a silly old man and we get glimpses into his character regularly.

#76 is Vera Misham. I love how she expresses her emotions through drawing, and that she manages to fight off her fears after Succession. Also, funny story. When my best friend was playing that case, he chose ‘Guilty’ when it came time to it, and was absolutely baffled that she proceeded to fucking die.

#75 is Armie Buff. When talking to her as ‘Sarge’, I was personally under the impression she was a guy in his mid teens. I feel awful for her losing both parents in such a short while, but she's kind of in a similar boat to Vera in that she gained the strength to begin healing.

#74 is Ahlbi Ur'gaid. I saw his name and thought ‘yep, they lost it.’ But anyway, he's a good kid and also a shockingly shrewd businessman? He's gonna be the next Kane Bullard at this rate, we gotta stop him! Now, if he was so kind as to detach his dog from my cravat…

#73 is Dr. Herman Crab. He has a fucking penguin in his hair. I have a lot of respect for him going out of his way to use a monitoring system that's more efficient, even if it was technically illegal. I'm glad Norma managed to settle that situation.

#72 is Aristotle Means, who means what he says and says what he means, by all means! But do the ends justify him?! That awesome breakdown sure as hell does! I saw his ‘OK’ sprite and it kinda surprised me how creepy he was.

#71 is Marlon Rimes, yo! Hip hop lover with the best flow

Not that I know how to rhyme, but I'll try my best ‘cause it's high time

His transformation was crazy, breakdown made me kinda queasy

But he's not evil, don't get it twisted. Grief drove him to kill the orca and misstep

He did the time he had to do and tried to save the captain, so

That's why he's the GOAT! Yo, yo!

#70 is Spark Brushel. He's one of the two characters not to lie to us in the fucking Mason System and me personally, I appreciate that. He's also an actually okay person, despite how he appears to be at first. And that one sprite where he tilts his head while his mouth makes an ‘o’ shape had me rolling when I first saw it.

#69 is Machi Tobaye. His smile is ANGELIC! I really do wish they told us what his deal was and what he needed money for. But I guess we'll never know, unless they bring him back in game 7!

#68 is Wesley Stickler. He's basically just Sheldon Cooper but worse. He's Yuri Cosmos in the making. All his animations are great!

#67 is Wocky Kitaki. His Japanese name (Kitaki Takita) amuses me as much as Alita's, even if it being hard to say isn't as apparent in English. Anyway, he's such a try hard, he would probably run away if he saw Viola. I'm glad his family situation got resolved!

#66 is Juniper Woods. Her relationship with Athena is sweet. In general, sweet is a good way to describe Juniper. I really wonder what it'll be like when she becomes a judge. Imagine she starts knitting little hats for the defense and the prosecution in the middle of the trial lol.

#65 is Robin Newman. At first I thought they were going the trans route with her but I'm not displeased in the least bit with what we ended up with. It’s all the way fucked up her parents were forcing her to act like a guy against her will, but I'm glad she had the strength to get away from that.

#64 is Desirée DeLite. As someone who would never get on a motorbike for any reason whatsoever, she's awesome! I'm glad her and Ron are doing so well, and it's beautiful how much she trusts and believes in him.

#63 is Maggey Byrde. Her and Juniper serve as the defendant both in a first and third case, which I think is funny. I wonder if she managed to turn her luck around, though, or if she got accused of murder 182 other times off screen.

#62 is Richard Wellington. You see him and you think he actually has brain cells, only for him to be one of the dumbest Ace Attorney culprits to date. He's kind of like a mayfly.

#61 is Mike Meekins. He's so pathetic it's absolutely nhilarious. A little lost lamb, as it were. A little lost patrolman. I think he's really charming and silly.

#60 is Yanni Yogi. I want him, Bucky and Eldoon to open a noodle shop together. What happened to him was awful, I wish he had a better attorney back then. It was really surprising to see him suddenly acting extremely serious after bumbling around for his entire screen time up to that point.

#59 is Shadi Enigmar, otherwise known as Zak Gramarye. After I played Turnabout Trump with my best friend, we made a bingo card and one of the things I bet on was that he was Trucy’s dad. I got that bingo. Anyway, Zak has some great ׅsprites and I really wonder what it would've looked like if he met with his daughter before he got brained with a juice bottle for no reason.

#58 is Plum Kitaki. Look at her. Look at her drawing her sword and tell me she's not awesome. Also, the fact she randomly switches to threatening Apollo after casually gossiping to him lolm

#57 is Sister Bikini of Hazakura Temple. She can pull off a crazy make-up look, I gotta admit. But anyway, she has a great design and I would love to give her a hug. Someone get her eucalyptus patches for her back!

#56 is Sister Iris of Hazakura Temple. She grew on me a bit more during my second playthrough of Bridge To The Turnabout. I thought it was sweet that she was trying to help her sister and I wish they would've had an opportunity to live a better life together. Anyway, she's brave and dutiful despite not necessarily looking the part, and I commend her for that.

#55 is Sal Manella, LMAO! I mean, seriously, how can j00 not <3 this guy and his r0x0rz l33t dialogue? The bit where he goes ‘ROFS’ had me ROFL!

#54 is Cody Hackins. My guy is definitely one of the first members of the Steel Samurai fanclub and Beh'leeb is one of their sponsors. I think it's great that he tries to play up his childishness to escape responsibility, despite being a lot more precocious than he lets on, only for the facade to shatter.

Speaking of shattering facades, how about that of one of the most cunning and deceptive characters in the series? #53 is the phantom! We've had characters who were technically on our side turn on us before, but not once did we get lead on for the entire game. I heard somewhere that “Bobby Fulbright is a murderer” before starting Dual Destinies. I expected anything but this, though! And this goes without mentioning how betrayed certain other characters were by him, especially Simon and Athena. His breakdown I think borders on genuine psychological horror, it's my favorite of them all.

#52 is Uendo Toneido! I'm not ranking Uendo, Kisegawa, Patches and Owen separately cause they'd end up together anyway, but they're all great! Turnabout Storyteller got me interested in rakugo, and I'd honestly love to see what one of this guy's performances would look like.

#51 is Geiru Toneido. I feel like she's one of the most recognizable characters in the franchise even though she's in one single case. Anyway, I did NOT expect her to be the culprit, and I lost it with the fucking udon murder method. Also, obligatory “They were fake?!” “Of course they were fake!”

And now…! My top 50! Anyone past this point I can confidently say I love with my whole heart, they're genuinely incredible!

#50 is Datz Are’bal. I used to think for whatever reason that the pun in his name was ‘that’s horrible’ because he keeps pranking people. Anyway, he's great, super loyal and trustworthy except for when he's trying to pull a fast one on you.

#49 is Valant Gramarye. I'm glad they included the wonderfully whimsical way in which he uses alliteration as an allusion to answers, as Atmey acted in the anime. Magnifi's suicide, staged to slander Zak? Spectacular!

#48 is Ron DeLite. I love the dichotomy of his character because you look at this absolute failure of a man and find out HE'S the phantom thief? I mean sure, he was being fed plans by Atmey, but still. The thing about Ron is that he looks extremely unassuming but he can actually be pretty brave when the situation calls for it. I love his fuckass hair.

#47 is April May. I'm just really attached to her, being among the first characters we're introduced to and all. She gives off a somewhat unassuming vibe at first but is quick to show that she is NOT messing around. I love how homogeneously she's designed and how pink she is.

#46 is Misty Fey. I feel awful for her. Imagine getting to see your daughter you haven't seen in 17 years for one hour, only to get murdered. Anyway, the reveal completely floored me and I feel like Elise Deauxnim might be one of the most clever names in the series. I really wish she got to reunite with her daughters, both of them.

#45 is Viola Cadaverini. She's a well designed character and reminds me of Mei Misaki from Another in that regard. I'd pay to have her scare the living spirit out of Wocky. No wonder her grandpa loves her so much.

#44 is Kristoph Gavin. This guy wakes up extra early every single morning to be a hater, and you know what? I respect it a lot. Most other main villains either killed someone that was threatening them in some way, or killed on impulse. But not Kristoph, oh no. This guy was mad Zak hired Phoenix instead of him, and proceeded to make it everyone’s problem. He literally ruined a man's life, set out to eradicate the Misham bloodline and then waited for SEVEN years to kill Zak, because he was still mad my guy chose a different defense attorney. And then he had an incredible breakdown! Also, the Kristoph roleplay account here on Reddit is great.

#43 is Dee Vasquez. I love the subversion that she's dragged to court and we expect her to be a lot more evil in regards to the murder than she actually is. It WAS self defense, after all. The group of her ‘boys’ is another can of worms I'm NOT getting into right now, but I'm very fond of scenes where someone is caught having done something and after the initial fighting, just accepts it.

#42 is Aura Blackquill, AKA my sister in law (nevermind this implies Kristoph is my brother in law, let's just move on.) Aura is great! I love the idea that she was fairly close to Metis but there was something more that she wanted. I've heard some people say it's just an extension to Japanese work culture that got lost in translation and she wasn't romantically interested in her, but I'm choosing to believe she was because it's more fun that way. The fact she's not letting Ponco call her ‘Mama Aura’ anymore absolutely broke my heart. Don't do this to me!!!

#41 is Thalassa Gramarye, otherwise known as Lamiroir. They really shelved this poor woman. Replaying Turnabout Serenade and watching her interact with her children without even realizing is kind of bittersweet, I hope they finally address the Gramarye plot in game 7. Seriously, just tell the kids they're siblings…! I'm glad she ended up getting her eye surgery. I can't believe we got to play as her, even if only for a minute.

Wait, we were just talking about you! #40, Apollo Justice! Starting out with Apollo Justice I did NOT have an easy time connecting with him, which is a unique issue in terms of all other 4 characters we participate in trials as. Also doesn't help his ‘finest hour’ just didn't do it for me, I was a lot more touched by him carrying on after the Dhurke reveal. However, I do love him, and I think the relationships he had in Khura'in were what I wanted from his character.

#39 is Hugh O’Conner. I love this absolute manfailure of a guy. His relationship with Juniper and Robin is one of the reasons I enjoyed Turnabout Academy as much as I did. He seems like an asshole at first but is genuinely good and caring. I feel like I can't really talk about them in a vacuum, since they're so important to one another. Also, I LOVE the blues in his design, as well as how many random, unique animations they gave him.

#38 is Truly Wright. She's adorable! I think it's great she has that Gramarye magic in her, and how passionate she is for her craft. I did NOT expect her to actually become a defendant in the Magical Turnabout but the way the Gramarye creed was integrated into it was really interesting. And I commend her for keeping a smile on her face, really. Also, she didn't lie to us in the Mason System which I appreciate!

#37 is Adrian Andrews. More so than talking about how much she suffered, I'm glad she managed to get better in terms of her mental health and gained her own footing in life. Part of me wants to know about the logistics of her sentence for tampering with Corrida's body but it's usually better not to question the Ace Attorney timeline.

#36 is the guy as refreshing as the spring breeze, Matt Engarde. Listen, the biggest reason he's this high up is because my best friend loves him. His transformation was one of the parts of Farewell, My Turnabout that I actually liked and his downfall was extremely satisfying.

#35 is Maximillion Galactica, AKA Billy Bob Johns. This guy is my namesake? Seriously? Compared to him, a certain other fop just rolls out of bed every morning. Well, I'd be a little foppish too if I won the Magicians’ Grand Prix! Anyway, I found his secret country side endearing.

#34 is Regina Berry. She's literally the cutest, her sprites spark so much joy. She's the sweetest, and despite having done wrong in her life, would never willfully hurt anybody. I hope she managed to leave some of her naivety behind.

#33 is Ken “Acro” Dingling. I feel like people don't talk about his breakdown enough. Most characters get mad, they’re shocked, it's basically a damage sprite, squared. But he starts crying, and not just crying. He does so gracefully. He's also one of the few killers to actually regret what they did, at least if you ask me. Maybe he and Bat can reunite someday.

#32 is Marvin Grossberg. I'm gonna try to make this quick before his hemorrhoids come back, but I thought he was a sweet character in the first game. I'm really fond of when someone makes mistakes, however bad, and is clearly trying to atone for them in some way. Plus, him showing up to support Mia and serve as her co-counsel was a riot.

#31 is Redd White. I could not infermagine why I like White as much as I do if I tried. I think mostly because Phoenix has to face off against such a formidicable foe in his second ever case. He has basically everyone working for him, after all. I remember playing Turnabout Sisters and thinking ‘how are we gonna get more intense than this?!’ Somehow, we did!

#30 is Jake Marshall. His theme is AWESOME! Seriously! In general, I think he's a really interesting character, especially with how he tried to reign in the untamed horse that was SL-9, even if the winds turned against him and he came to a gun duel unarmed. In the end, he sort of succeeded, that must count for something!

#29 is Wendy Oldbag. I loved this woman from the moment she got introduced, and every subsequent appearance of hers made me laugh. Her talking fast is especially great. Also, I try not to refer to the anime too much in this list, but I did think it was really sweet that Cody raving about the Steel Samurai was what convinced her to give Phoenix the picture the paparazzo took.

#28 is Will Powers. How can a guy who everyone I know bullies by calling him fucking Wolverine be this nice? Genuinely. If I was a parent in the Ace Attorney verse, I would watch his shows WITH my kid. Him inviting Phoenix and the others to the Hero of Heroes Grand Prix especially rocks. Powers’ return made me super happy in Farewell, My Turnabout

I'm really psyched to write about this next person… Pun intended. Yeah, it's Athena Cykes at #27! I had some reservations about her before starting Dual Destinies, feeling unsure about if I'd like her vibe. I'm very glad to say I did! Turnabout For Tomorrow is as dear to me as it is thanks partly to her. And I gotta say, I absolutely ADORE her relationship with Simon. Actually, she has a great dynamic with just about everyone. Even on her own, she's a deeply sympathetic and heroic character, and I love her! I have a couple of friends who haven't gotten around to Dual Destinies, and they're not sure if they'll like her. I can't wait until they see just how awesome she truly is!

#26 is Bobby Fulbright! If you're wondering why I didn't talk about Bobby when I was talking about the phantom, well, this is why. “You said you wouldn't include victims who didn't have dialogue!” It's my list, I can do what I want! Besides, he has a theme, which I love so much. Our Secret Word Of Justice is no joke one of my favorite Ace Attorney tracks. Assuming that the phantom’s depiction of him was mostly accurate, he's genuinely such a silly guy. I love the idea of a character who values justice above all else and is always trying to act righteously. IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!

.

And that is where part one of my ranking ends, my dreams crushed by the character limit! I'll edit this post with the link to part two as soon as I can!
