The pale moon in the sky cries for your blood!

That rocked!

Turnabout Samurai — 1st Trial

Samurai Hurricane!

Ow!

Oh, Nick. I didn't know you were here.

Of course I'm here...

What was that surreal show you were watching?

Huh? You don't know?

Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo: Steel Samurai.

He's only the most popular TV hero for young people!

Young? Like, how young?

Um... Ten years old?

That's too young. Why are you buying into the hype?

I'm young, too...

Good for you. Being young is great, but it won't pay this month's rent.

I can't believe we didn't get a single client!

Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo: Steel Samurai!

This ends tonight, Evil Magistrate!

A superhero, huh?

Takes me back.

What?

Th-This is awful, Nick!

Switch on the TV!

Maya?

What do you want so early?

They're saying the Steel Samurai killed a villain!

Isn't that what he's supposed to do?

Yeah, on TV!

Yeah, on TV...

Morning News Steel Samurai Accused of Murder

The Steel Samurai, hero of the popular children's TV show,

has just been arrested for murder.

Superhero Murders Evil Villain? Was the Samurai Spear the Weapon?

Jack Hammer Evil Magistrate in Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo: Steel Samurai

The victim Jack Hammer, 37,

played the Evil Magistrate on the show.

According to witnesses...

A superhero killed a villain and was arrested for murder?

This must be a joke!

There's no way the Steel Samurai would murder anyone!

Y-Yeah, I guess...

I know!

I've decided this will be our first case!

We're gonna defend the Steel Samurai!

Accused Steel Samurai Will Powers

Is that monster really the Steel Samurai?

What do you mean, "monster"? It's Will Powers.

I know I shouldn't be saying this,

but he definitely did it.

You really shouldn't be saying that!

Um...

Y-Yes?

I hear you offered to defend me.

I don't know how to thank you...

I truly appreciate it!

P-Please, sit down.

I... I appreciate it.

I look like this, so when I got the part of the Steel Samurai,

I decided not to publicly show my face until the show ended.

For the kids, you know. I didn't want to crush their dreams...

But now that it's come to this,

what will the kids think of the Steel Samurai?!

He's a good guy, Nick.

Yeah.

He definitely didn't do it.

Mr. Powers, could you start by telling us what happened?

Y-Yes, of course.

That day, we worked on some action scenes until lunch.

After that, I napped in my dressing room.

I ended up oversleeping and was late for rehearsal.

I hurried to the studio, only to see that everyone had grim looks on their faces.

They'd found Hammer dead in the Evil Magistrate costume.

H-He'd been expertly skewered with the Samurai Spear...

Samurai Spear?

The Steel Samurai's weapon of choice.

You know, that spear he always carries!

No, I don't know.

I was petrified with shock,

and before I knew it, they'd arrested me and brought me here.

It's all right! We're on your side!

Right, Nick?

To start, we'll visit the studios.

May 10 Global Studios

So this is where Steel Samurai is filmed!

Aren't you excited?

Hey, you there!

You want in, you gotta go through me!

I'm security here.

And it's my job to make sure that gawkers like you stay out.

Global Studios Security Guard Wendy Oldbag

Uh, we're—

I bet you heard about the incident and came to snoop around.

Kids these days!

When I was young, things were a mite different.

I used to be a real looker, you see.

It's a crying shame...

I was a huge fan of the late Hammer, so I won't stand for behavior like this!

Y-You've got it all wrong...

We're defending Mr. Powers, so we're here to investigate.

A cheap knockoff.

It's the real thing!

Please. The other day, I saw one on sale for 278 yen at the supermarket.

Can't they keep it down?

It struck me as really expensive,

so I just bought oranges and went home.

Oh, you want oranges? You don't?

Of course you don't want any from an old lady.

What's all this racket?

You two are...

Detective Gumtree!

It's Suedeshoes, Maya.

They're both wrong, pal!

My name is Gumshoe, see!

So noisy...

District Police Detective Dick Gumshoe

So you're defending Will Powers?

That's right, pal!

Rough luck, pals.

There's no doubting his guilt in this murder.

Take a look at this...

Before the murder, everyone at the studios was over here.

Front Gate

Gate Dressing Room Staff Area

And the victim was found over here.

Studio 1

Studio 2

In other words, to get to the crime scene, the culprit had to pass through here.

And only Powers did. I was keeping watch the entire time!

Nick, what does this mean?

If that's true, Mr. Powers is clearly the killer!

A trespasser! Catch him!

A trespasser?

You go, too! Aren't you a cop?

Me?

Hey, I'm an attorney!

Hah!

Catch me if you can!

Serves you right.

You useless hacks!

Steel Samurai Path to Glory

"Path to Glory"?

Whoa, this is awesome!

He must really love the Steel Samurai.

Ugh, that was torture...

Um, we'd like to talk to everyone here.

Mr. Powers said he was taking a nap in his dressing room.

Welcome

Someone might have seen him asleep.

Feel free to snoop around as much as you please.

We, the prosecution, have thoroughly investigated all evidence and witnesses.

You'll realize that your victory last time was a fluke.

In this trial,

Prosecutor Edgeworth will show you what he's truly capable of!

One victory after another. Very impressive.

Thank you, sir.

But that only makes your one loss more vexing.

I am very sorry.

Cast your feelings aside.

Conviction, and only conviction, is justice.

I understand, Mr. von Karma.

Courthouse

In the end, we didn't find anything concrete to support Powers' alibi...

Well, it was an afternoon nap...

If he's convicted, I'll tear you to pieces with a Samurai Hurricane.

I think we have enough murder on our plate right now, Maya.
