It’s time to deviate from the usual blogging schedule, because Capcom has unveiled the mysterious Ace Attorney 6 prosecutor we’ve been wondering about.
He… or possibly she, as Court-Records says the prosecutor’s gender is unclear even in the full Famitsu article, is an international prosecutor and a monk in the Kingdom of Kurain, Nayuta Saadmadhi.
Nayuta believes a guilty verdict brings salvation to the culprit’s victim.
Also, how do you top the convicted murderer “Twisted Samurai” prosecutor? Call your new character the Funeral Prosecutor.
The scans also show Apollo and Athena facing off against Nayuta to defend a girl named Mimi, who seems to be involved in Trucy’s magic show.
Fans at Court-Records also noticed that in the background behind Mimi, there is what appears to be a poster for the Gramaryes… but with someone in green on it.
This “green Gramarye” has raised questions, and some fans theorize it’s Apollo’s father.
It would definitely be nice if Ace Attorney 6 finally wrapped up the loose ends from Apollo Justice, which this suggests it might.
Let’s go back to the prosecutor, though. Nayuta is from Kurain… but facing Apollo in Japan (which will probably be localized to America, as usual).
Does this mean Phoenix will face a different prosecutor? And why would a prosecutor from Kurain go to Japan/America right when a lawyer from Japan/America goes to Kurain? It sounds like there will be a connection between the two…
Share your theories and thoughts on the Funeral Prosecutor in the comments! Also, do you think Nayuta is male or female? At a quick glance, I say “male,” but then I take a closer look and say, “No, that might be a woman…”
(I still want to face Vampire Edgeworth, Capcom… please give us DGS after this!)
My first instinct is that Nayuta is a girl.
That said, my first instinct was that the defendant that I claimed looked like Maya was also a girl.
True…
The word “monk” suggests male (especially since T&T described both Bikini and Iris as nuns), but it could just be the translation or the term they decided to use in the Kingdom of Kurain.
I saw someone suggest the prosecutor is a female spirit medium channeling a male spirit, hence the gender ambiguity in the article.
Does the Kingdom of Kurain not have prosecutors anymore, so they have to spirit medium dead ones from the past?
The person who theorized that had the idea that the spirit is seeking revenge, which is why he’s being channeled.
I think Kurain has prosecutors. After all, Payne appears in some sort of prosecutor role. They don’t have defense attorneys, though, so who knows. Remember, Leifa was described as having an important role in the courtroom that is not one of the traditional roles for the series.
But that might be irrelevant depending on Nayuta’s rule, since he/she might just be a prosecutor who happens to come from Kurain, not actually one who prosecuted in Kurain courts. It’s unclear. (The official website has left a spot for another prosecutor: http://imgur.com/H5kUJYy)
Yeah, they had to import a prosecutor. Import whether from Japanifornia or from the dead.
Though it might be the other way around. Payne went to a kingdom without defense attorneys so he could win… only for Phoenix to show up.
…Hm, I concede to your turnabout.
*bows Edgeworth-style*
(I should be the one bowing to you!)
But Edgeworth bows when he successfully makes his point.
Yeah I noticed.
