Gyakuten Saiban 3: Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth



Gyakuten Saiban 3: Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth (逆転裁判3 -検事マイルズ･エッジワース) is the third of three musicals based on the Ace Attorney video game series, specifically focused on the exploits of Miles Edgeworth. It is the first musical in the series to have a case that is completely original. A collaboration between Capcom Japan and the Takarazuka Revue, an all-female musical theater troupe, the show starred Cosmos Troupe's Hiro Yuumi in the lead role. It was first performed in January 2013. Although both shows were Japanese productions, they used the names from the English localizations of the games.

Plot
Taking place between the first two musicals, Edgeworth has been wandering the world for several years, trying to find a new reason for practicing law. As he boards a flight to visit his hometown in California, he runs into hopeless loser and wannabe ladies’ man Larry Butz. But after both fall asleep on the plane, they wake up to discover they are somehow in the past, during the time his father was still alive. Edgeworth soon finds himself in wrapped in a murder investigation involving a woman named Allison Teresa, and is deterimined to unravel what happened, even if it means prosecuting against his father himself.

Edgeworth also have some problems of his own. The Gregory Edgeworth he meets during his time travel is more like the defense attorney version of Manfred Von Karma — willing to falsify evidence in order to get a favorable verdict. He now must deal with his father issues — to separate the man he knew and idolized from the reality he’s encountering.

After the case is over, Edgeworth finds himself back in the present day California, at the airport the whole play began at. Larry seems to remember nothing of what happened, so Edgeworth assumes the whole case was just a dream.

However, Edgeworth discovers a red rose in his jacket, the same one Allison gave him. He then smiles, having finally found a reason to practice law, and walks out, secretly hoping to meet up with Allison again one day.
