Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

My name is Phoenix Wright, attorney-at-law.

The stage for my newest battle

is a special express train heading northward through the snowy plains,

the Silver Star.

A trial is set to begin in its dining car.

In this absurd setting, I have to defend a preposterous client.

Court is now in session for the trial of fugitive Avery Richman!

We have kept you waiting far too long.

Today's finally the day the super-luxury express Silver Star debuts.

The Goldstruck Republic's multimillionaire with a deep love for Japan and railways,

Avery Richman, poured his personal funds into creating a dream private railway.

That is the Silver Star.

Unfortunately, Mr. Richman couldn't be here with us today,

but regardless, we shall be departing very shortly.

Isn't this amazing?

They made it a choo-choo train on purpose.

How nostalchic.

You mean nostalgic.

All right.

Let's go, Nick.

Huh? It's you two!

Detective Gumshoe?

And the judge, too!

Hello there.

We entered the postcard contest and won.

I'm going on a tour of the hot springs in the north aboard a retro train.

Ta-dah!

We were invited!

What? Invited?

Which car are you in? We're in Car 1.

We're in Car 3.

Let's hang out later!

Here.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Phoenix Wright and Ms. Maya Fey, yes?

Welcome aboard the Silver Star.

I'm Rick, and I'll be your attendant.

Rick Steam

Nice to meet you, Rick.

You're in the Sakura Room, yes?

"Sakura Room"?

Sounds like a traditional inn!

It really does say "Sakura"!

I've never see anything like this!

A compartment, huh?

Amazing!

It's like a hotel room!

Yeah, very nice.

Thank you very much.

The Silver Star is a private service that Mr. Richman built by buying an old railroad.

Its retro appearance is modeled after the good old steam engine trains from the 50s.

Even the decor has been meticulously designed.

Meanwhile, the train's engines and propulsion system are bleeding edge technology.

By the way, the entire crew is people who followed Mr. Richman from his homeland.

You too, then?

Yes, I'm from Goldstruck Republic as well.

I hear Mr. Richman loves Japan very much and was recently naturalized.

That's right.

Ah, so that's why the Sakura Room and stuff.

The ultimate railway, a realization of his dreams and ideals...

That's the Silver Star.

We hope you enjoy your journey.

But man, I can't believe you got invited to this.

When did you become such a big shot, Nick?

Funny thing about that.

I don't know Mr. Richman at all.

I have no idea why I was invited.

Yeah, you are pretty small fry, if anything.

Anyway, let's explore!

Come on, come on!

Pardon me.

Where is the Chrysanthemum Room?

I'll take you there, sir.

Long time no see.

You're here, too?

Heading out?

Exploring the train!

Have fun.

This is it, sir.

Thank you.

December 31 — 4:00 PM International Airport

Emergency deployment.

The fugitive who escaped soon after the flight landed is yet to be found.

Set up blockades on every transportation system in the area.

Finding the fugitive is the top priority, but make sure no civilians are hurt.

This looks bad. A storm's brewing tonight.

The sun's going down soon, too. There's no way we can find him.

This could end up becoming a diplomatic issue.

We're next to the dining car, huh?

It's great that it's so close.

It's so lavish, I could cry!

I wasn't told about this.

Sorry, we can't.

But it's an order from a passenger,

and Mr. Richman has told us to meet all their demands.

The king said that?

Very well.

Please come this way.

Trouble of some sort?

We depart!

4:30 PM — Departure

Car 1 - Passenger Car

Car 2 - Dining Car

Car 3 - Passenger Car

The sunset was so pretty, right, Nick?

Mm...

After receiving the invitation, I tried to study up on Mr. Avery Richman.

When he, a world-famous multimillionaire, gained Japanese citizenship

and bought a whole railroad, the news reached even my ears.

What's this?

Ahoy, Steel Samurai.

Ahoy?

Believe it or not, it's actually a transceiver.

Let's play with them.

What can we even do with transceivers?

Isn't that obvious?

We play bomb squad.

B-Bomb squad?

Vanguard, have you located the bomb?

Over.

Yes, we've found it!

It has a red wire and a blue wire!

Screw it! This is a pain!

Clip them all!

What the heck?

Nothing says train adventure like runaways and bomb alerts!

You've been watching too many movies.

I came to hang out, pal!

Detective Gumshoe!

Thanks for bringing me here, Regina.

Regina Locomoti

You're very welcome.

Enjoy yourselves.

Commence operation. May we secure our king.

Right. Also, in the dining car earlier...

I heard.

It's a request from a valued passenger.

It wasn't in our plans, but we must still fulfill it.

Got it.

Don't worry. If we follow the plan, everything will work out.

Okay.

May I help you with something?

I'd like some scotch.

Certainly. I'll get it.

A book about trains?

Yeah. I wanted to learn about this railroad.

It was originally a short local line,

and it gradually grew in size to transport locals across the country.

Oh?

But you know what?

Oh, come on. Quit being such rail nerds.

Let's play with these!

Whoa! Ahoy, Steel Samurai!

But what can we do with these?

Isn't that obvious?

We play bomb squad.

Oh, sounds great!

Nothing says train adventure like runaways and bomb alerts!

Wow, you know your stuff!

This is Skip.

Come in, Vanguard.

Over.

Moving through Car 2, the dining car.

Just reached Car 3.

Commencing bomb search.

Ya moron!

The passengers' lives are in our hands!

I expect great things.

U-Uh...

What was that "Ya moron" all about?

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Over.

They make a great duo.

This is Vanguard!

I've found it!

This is one hell of a bomb.

It has five wires! I've never seen anything like it before!

What?

Screw it! Clip them all!
