Gyakuten Saiban: The Truth Reborn



Gyakuten Saiban: The Truth Reborn (逆転裁判 −蘇る真実, lit. "Turnabout Trial - Truth Resurrected") is the first of three musicals based on the Ace Attorney video game series. A collaboration between Capcom Japan and the Takarazuka Revue, an all-female musical theater troupe, the show starred Cosmos Troupe's Tomu Ranju in the lead role. It was first performed in February 2009, and was well-received. Although the show is a Japanese production, it used the names from the English localizations of the games. The plot itself is heavily based upon that of Rise from the Ashes, but given changed so that it is more personal to the lead character, Phoenix Wright.

Plot
In New York, Phoenix Wright was thinking about his former lover Leona Clyde, when a news bulletin came on saying that the Senator Robert Cole had been murdered and that Clyde was the main suspect. Knowing she would never do such a thing, he decided to defend her in court.

Wright exposed the culprit to be none other than the person Clyde was assisting: Governor Miller.

After the trial is over, Clyde stills goes to jail, as she tampered with the crime scene. Wright declares that he will wait for her and confesses his love for her, to which she responds by running into his arms with tears in her eyes.
