15th Annual Hero of Heroes Grand Prix
The moment you've all been waiting for!
It's time to announce the winner of this year's Hero of Heroes Grand Prix.
Which hero will lady luck smile upon tonight?
And now...
The winner of the fifteenth annual Hero of Heroes Grand Prix...
Bravo
It is I!

The true hero of the night has appeared in our midst,
the Warrior of Neo-Olde Tokyo, Nickel Samurai!
It seems the title has eluded Jammin' Ninja again this year.
All right!
Farewell, My Turnabout — 1st Trial
Hear that? The Nickel Samurai did it!
I'm proud that he's doing the series justice.
Yay!
Talk about an obviously rigged contest...
So, the one you all were cheering for got the prize?
Yeah.
You don't know him? The Nickel Samurai!
No.
On Sunday, I only watch Kids' Masterpiece Theater.
That isn't good.
Young people are all about the Nickel Samurai.
Then, does Nick like the Nickel Samurai, too?
Ah, no... He's an old fart now.
What's up with that?
But you always had this on your bag, right?
What is that?
The Signal Samurai, the legendary heroes who shone at the very first Grand Prix.
Sure takes me back.
He's had it in his desk lately, so I took it!
Uh, I was keeping it there.
'Tis I, the Nickel Samurai, and I'm going mad!
Splendid, Nickel Samurai.
Thank you.
A passionate handshake between rivals.
The Jammin' Ninja congratulates the Nickel Samurai on his victory.
Please give him a big hand, too!
Oh, man, that brings tears to my eyes!
Hey, hey!
Lemme take one, too!
Larry?
What do ya want?
I'm in the middle of work here!
Gossip Land Reporter
Press?
I'm working as a journalist now.
Journalist? Can't say I have many fond memories of that word.
Take a look.
Gossip Land?
What's this?
Oh, my gosh!
The woman in this picture is dressed rather scantily...
D-Don't look!
But I want to.
Adorable!
Who's this?
Pearls, my cousin.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure is mine!
Shall we go?
This guy is in the middle of work.
Huh?! You're leaving already?
The main event hasn't even started yet.
Oh, the winning hero puts on a celebratory stage show, right?
Whoa!
Stage show! All right!
Nah, after that.
Apparently, the Nickel Samurai has a confession to make.
A confession?
Nickel Samurai — Matt Engarde
Matt Engarde's Manager — Adrian Andrews
Have them clean up those dishes.
Right away.
I'll get some shut-eye until the show.
Wake me up when it's time.
Understood.
You don't know anything about the Nickel Samurai's confession, Mr. Powers?
No, all I've heard is that
he'll hold the press conference in disguise.
That'll make for a weird press conference.
Your attention please.
The Nickel Samurai's Celebratory Stage Show
will not be held tonight, due to unforeseen circumstances.
What? Why?
Ow! Don't pinch me!
We ask for everyone's cooperation at this time.
Please do not leave the venue, and stay where you are.
This is a special request from the police.
Police?
I repeat.
Did something happen?
Please do not leave the venue, and stay where you are.
Let's go take a look.
Freeze!
Ratta-tat-tat-tat-tat...
A-An alien, Nick!
Didn't you hear the announcement?
It just told you to stay put!
Th-That voice...
No way...
Ms. Oldbag?!
What are you doing here?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm a cute, mature member of security!
Youth these days can't be bothered to listen to other people when they talk!
Just the other day, there was a small footbridge with a sign next to it that said,
"Beware, Bridge Out!"
And along comes a snot-nosed little punk kid right up to the bridge.
I tried to tell the boy the bridge was out and it was dangerous,
but he said he'd be careful and only walk on the "in" part!
I really let him have it then!
I wanted to make it so he'd never cross another bridge in his life, and then...
Leave this to me!
Eat this!
Ratta-tat-tat...
Man...
You just can't get through to her.
Well, yeah. She's an alien.
My! Really?
Ms. Maya Fey. Ms. Maya Fey.
You have a phone call at the front desk.
What could it be?
I'll go see!
All right. See you later in the lobby.
Ms. Maya Fey, I take it?
Yes...
Allow me to guide you.
This way, please.
I'm telling you...
I get people the info they want!
Which means that I have a right to know!
Nope! We're still investigating, pal!
Larry?
Oh, Nick!
Tell this cop I'm just doing my job, and I have rights...
Hey, pal, help a guy out...
This is a murder we're talking about!
M-Murder?
Me and my big mouth!
The stage show was canceled...
Does that mean the victim was the Nickel Samurai?
No, the Samurai's the accused again.
Huh?
Then, who was the victim?
The Jammin' Ninja, pal!
In other words, the guy playing him, Juan Corrida?
That's right, pal.
An action star whose popularity is on par with Matt Engarde, the Nickel Samurai.
Well, basically, a rival.
And rumor says Engarde was arrested earlier
on suspicion of murdering Juan Corrida!
What's with Samurai always getting arrested?
And Matt Engarde is...
A huge star, famous as "that guy who's as refreshing as the spring breeze"!
This is the biggest scandal of the twentieth century!
Like I said, the twentieth century ended a long time ago.
Anyway, you're hindering the investigation.
Head back to the lobby.
If Mystic Maya heard about this...
Yeah.
She'd definitely make me take this case.
Oh, by the way, I was asked to give this to you.
By whom?
Uh, a bellboy at the hotel?
Is this the attorney Mr. Phoenix Wright?
Yes, and you are...
I believe I have a valuable item of yours.
Item?
Help, Nick!
Mystic Maya?
What's the meaning of this?
It's what you would call a kidnapping.
Kid—
Kidnapping?!
What do you want?
How much do you want?
I seek not money, but a certain verdict.
A complete acquittal.
What?
I believe a murder has just occurred there.
A young man named Matt Engarde has been arrested.
How do you know that?
He did not kill anyone.
I can attest to that.
The trial is in two days.
At that trial, you will win a "not guilty" verdict.
You have only one chance.
An acquittal in one trial day?
Yes, exactly.
Oh, and since I am playing the role of kidnapper,
I cannot pass up this chance to say,
"And don't even think about calling the cops."
Who the hell are you?
My name is
De Killer.
De Killer?
N-Nick...
An attorney?
Yes.
Hold on a sec.
I'll ask my agency boss, okay?
Too bad. They said no.
I'm sorry, but they're apparently hiring a big-shot lawyer.
At least tell me about the incident—
Oh, wait.
Let me ask my agency boss.
Uh, that's not...
Sorry, but for an interview, you have to contact my agen—
Mr. Engarde!
Please!
Let me defend you!
What's wrong?
Why the scary face?
I beg you!
If I can't defend you, De Killer will...
What did you just say?
De Killer?
Y-Yes...
Understood.
Please defend me in court.
R-Really?
I expect a verdict as refreshing as the spring breeze.
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Well, take a seat.
Mr. Engarde, I'd like to ask you something first.
Did you kill Juan Corrida?
Mr. Wright,
I get told I'm too cocky, and people often misunderstand me.
But Juan and I had a healthy rivalry.
I haven't killed anyone.
It's true.
Do I have your word?
Please believe me.
I'm really upset by this...
I'm supposed to be a hero, but I let him die.
Very well.
I'll place my trust in you.
Great. The trial's tomorrow, right?
I'm counting on you.
Good to work with you.
Oh, by the way...
I heard you called a press conference for after the stage show last night.
I mean,
something about the Nickel Samurai making a confession.
I don't know anything about that.
I let my manager handle all that stuff.
Oh, is that so?
Will everything be all right, Nick?
Well, at least we were able to get Engarde as a client.
Now I just have to prove him not guilty in court tomorrow!
Okay.
I'm Adrian Andrews, Matt Engarde's manager.
Oh, hello.
I heard you were the one who found Juan Corrida's body last night?
That's right.
Uh, where was that?
His dressing room.
But aren't you Engarde's manager?
Why were you in Corrida's room?
It was almost time for the stage show to begin,
so I went to check on him, just in case.
Engarde couldn't have performed alone.
R-Right.
Ms. Andrews must be a real go-getter.
Ratta-tat-tat-tat-tat.
Oldbag!
It's the "oba the hill" granny...
Come with me a second.
What do you want?
I suppose you zeroed in on her, too.
That woman is a real go-getter.
What about Adrian?
She's a real scoundrel!
Under Engarde's orders,
she approached my dear Juan and led him astray using her vile wiles!
Look.
Breaking News: Where Are the Two Going? The Jammin' Ninja's Late-Night Rendezvous His partner is his rival's manager, AA?
"The Jammin' Ninja's Late-Night Rendezvous.
His partner is his rival's manager, AA?"
AA...
Adrian Andrews?
Excuse me, Nick,
what are "vile wiles"?
Uh, let's put that aside for now.
Engarde set up a scandal to make his rival lose face.
They toyed with poor old Juan...
Uh, Ms. Oldbag...
You liked Juan Corrida?
Jammin' Ninja!
You're defending Engarde?
Well, yes.
It's a kingdom of bears!
Apparently, his fans sent these.
He liked bears?
In the past, he holed up in the mountains for three years, fighting bears.
Evidently, it strengthened his body and soul.
He must have been strong.
Was the corpse found here?
That's right, pal.
A knife was stabbed in his chest.
I hear Engarde's fingerprints were on the murder weapon.
The final autopsy report isn't out yet,
but yes, that's what led to the arrest.
Besides, we also have eyewitness testimony.
Frankly, you have no chance this time, pal.
There's a witness?
At last you reveal your true nature, Mr. Phoenix Wright!
F-Franziska von Karma?
So you are the type to steal information from detectives!
How dishonorable!
Mr. Phoenix Wright,
you have tarnished my perfect prosecution record!
It's all your fault...
All your fault!
This time, victory is mine!
I swear on my family name!
That determination...
Prosecutor von Karma seems like a different person!
Also, Adrian Andrews.
Y-Yes?
Think about what I said.
Sure.
Shut up!
You'll beat me, huh?
That's all you ever talk about.
Come, Scruffy!
Y-Yes, sir...
Nick...
Yo!
Larry...
Dude, do you have any idea where my camera could be?
Your camera?
Sure you didn't steal it and sell it on the spur of the moment?
I don't know.
Now is the time to confess.
Don't seriously suspect your friend!
You must've forgotten it somewhere.
And I'd photographed a big scoop, too!
Here, drink up while it's still hot.
Oh, Pearls! Thank you!
Is it him?
How are you on this fine day?
Maya had better be safe!
What you need to worry about is tomorrow's trial.
I've prepared a present for you.
"Present," he says?
I really need you to win.
What are you talking about?
You'll see when the trial begins tomorrow.
Goodbye. I wish you luck.
Mystic Maya!
This is fine. Right, Sis?
The Nickel Samurai On Air Now!
Prosecutor von Karma!
The prosecutor with the whip is late.
Yeah.
This is terrible!
What's wrong with you, Detective?
The trial is about to begin!
Prosecutor von Karma was shot by a sniper!
What?
S-Sniper?
Hello?
Nick...
Looks like my present has been delivered.
Present?
Did you shoot Prosecutor von Karma?
Relax. She won't die from that.
But she won't be able to stand in court for a while.
Why, you...
It was simply cover fire.
Now, go get that "not guilty" verdict.
Hey!
Will the prosecutor with the whip be all right?
Anyway, it seems we have no choice but to cancel today's trial.
Hold It!
Hold it!
Y-You're...
I shall take Franziska von Karma's place!
Edgeworth!
She took a bullet to her right shoulder
and is currently in surgery.
Fortunately, there is no threat to her life.
I have memorized all the case data.
I shall prove Matt Engarde's guilt with my own methods.
What happened to "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death"?
Well, my past self is certainly dead.
Then why did you come back?
Why now?
Over the year since that trial,
I have searched for answers.
"What is a prosecutor?
What do I stand for in court?"
What about you, Wright?
Why are you standing there?
W-Well...
Why I stand in court?
Nick...
The answers I found
will be clear by the time this trial is done and dusted!
Court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Matt Engarde.
Prosecutor Edgeworth, your opening statement, please.
Aw, I'm starving.
Nick...
I will get a verdict of not guilty in this trial, no matter what.
Wait for me, Maya!
Ace Attorney
Objection!
Maya's life, and the client's innocence...
In order to protect these precious things,
I make my stand in court.
And the prosecutor facing me is Edgeworth.
Shortly after returning, he unleashes a barrage of attacks.
But looking at the evidence, I realize something.
Who was the Nickel Samurai who fled the crime scene?
Find the contradictions!
Reach out to the truth!
