Episode 4: Farewell, My Turnabout is the fourth and final episode in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All. This episode marks the return of Miles Edgeworth from abroad and features a special investigation mode in which Phoenix Wright uses a frequency detector to sweep for bugs at the scene of the crime. A similar mode is featured in Bridge to the Turnabout. This episode marks the début of Adrian Andrews (who reappears in The Stolen Turnabout) and Shelly de Killer (who reappears in Turnabout Target) and also features the return of Will Powers and Wendy Oldbag from Turnabout Samurai.
Prologue
In the darkness, a drum roll starts and an announcer begins to speak:
| Now! The moment you've all been waiting for! Who will be this year's Grand Prix Champion? Who will be our "Hero of Heroes"!? |
As an image of the moon appears, the sound of an audience applauding and cheering can be heard. The view pans down to reveal a number of costumed characters. In the center is a figure wearing blue armor with a shuriken on his helmet. As the spotlights play over this figure, the announcer ponders:
| Will it be last year's runner-up, Jammin' Ninja!? |
The spotlights move on, with the announcer introducing each of the colorful contestants in turn:
| Or maybe Captain Saipan all the way from the lovely tropical island of Saipan!? I see the students of a certain Starry School are raring to win! And Global Hero Onyankopon doesn't want to go home without the prize! We hope lady luck is with all our heroes tonight! |
The drum roll begins once more as the moment of the announcement approaches.
| And now! The winner of the third annual Hero of Heroes Grand Prix... |
Suddenly, a voice interrupts:
| IS ME!! |
The image of the moon is suddenly sliced in two and a figure drops down from the ceiling while the theme music from The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo plays. The announcer reacts in surprise as the figure opens a giant fan with "Hero of Heroes Super Hero" written on it while the other competitors react mainly with shock, apart from the Jammin' Ninja, who looks furious.
| Whoooooooooa! The true hero of the night has appeared in our midst! It looks like this year's Grand Prix goes to this fantastic warrior! The Nickel Samurai! Too bad, Jammin' Ninja. Looks like the title eluded you again this year! |
Mar. 20
In the luxurious Gatewater Imperial Hotel's Viola Hall, Phoenix Wright, Maya Fey, Pearl Fey and Will Powers reacted to hearing that the Nickel Samurai won the Hero of Heroes Grand Prix in their own ways; Maya with excitement, Wright with apathy, Powers with pride that the Nickel Samurai was "doing the series justice" and Pearl with confusion. She asked if the person everyone was cheering for had won, and Maya told her that he had. When Pearl revealed that she watched Kids' Masterpiece Theatre rather than The Nickel Samurai, Maya tried to persuade her to change. Pearl wondered if Wright watched the show, but Maya told her that he was an "old fart" who wasn't allowed to watch it anymore, and he stated that he preferred Kids' Masterpiece Theatre. Pearl was annoyed that Wright and Maya were not sharing the same interests, but was told to give it a rest by Maya.
Powers was pleased that they were all having such a good time and was glad to have invited them, although he felt sorry for the Jammin' Ninja, who had lost to The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo the previous year and to The Nickel Samurai this year. At this Maya and Powers talked about how odd it was that the Jammin' Ninja was missing his signature bright red guitar, while Wright despaired at "these people and their shows". He thanked Powers anyway for inviting them, but was told it was nothing since Powers owed him for defending him in court two years earlier. Maya interjected to tell Wright that they should head for the hotel lobby since there was a post-ceremony stage show due to start soon and Powers told them that there would be a press conference after that. Wright wondered if something was to be announced, but was told it was supposedly something about the Nickel Samurai confessing something. Maya and Pearl told the pair to stop talking and start moving, with Wright wondering what the rush was about since the show wasn't due to start for another 20 minutes.
Investigation
After Wright went to and returned from the bathroom, Powers gave the group tickets for a press conference that Matt Engarde, the actor of the Nickel Samurai, was scheduled to hold after the post-ceremony show. Shortly after, Wright, Maya, Pearl, and Powers went to the lobby, only to learn shortly after from the P.A. that the post ceremony show had been canceled due to a request from the police. Worried, the group started to move back towards Viola Hall, only to be stopped by the security guard, Wendy Oldbag. Wright, Maya, and Pearl managed to elude the guard and continued towards Viola Hall. Upon entering Viola Hall, they were stopped by a bellboy, who told Maya that there was a call waiting for her at the front desk. She said she would catch up with Wright later, and left with the bellboy.
Moving into the hallway, Wright heard two familiar voices and saw that Lotta Hart was trying to get information from Dick Gumshoe. When both noticed Wright had appeared on the scene, they both attempted to pressure Wright into siding with them in their argument. In doing so, the detective let it slip that a murder had taken place. Satisfied, the investigative photographer ran away in delight, beginning to spread the news. After the detective hung his head at his blunder, he proceeded to inform Wright of the events that had transpired.
The crime
The murder victim was Juan Corrida, the actor of the Jammin' Ninja in the television show of the same name. The estimated time of death was 8:15, immediately after the awards ceremony. Gumshoe didn't mention any more at the time, but he also let slip that Matt Engarde had been arrested on suspicion of murdering Corrida.
A kidnapping
Wright and Pearl returned to the lobby, where a distressed Powers was waiting for them. Wright told him the details: that Juan Corrida had been murdered, and that Matt Engarde was the suspect. Powers groaned, commenting on how these events were just like last year. He then gave a radio transceiver to Wright, telling him that a bellboy had said it was for the attorney. Pearl was starting to wonder where Maya had gone, as it had been a long time since she had gone to answer the telephone. At that moment, the transceiver began beeping. Wright asked who the man on the other end was, but was told that he should be worried about more important things. At that moment, Maya's scream rang through the radio, yelling for help from Wright. The caller threatened to kill her if Wright refused to cooperate.
| ??? |
| What is this called again in your fancy lawyer terms? |
| Phoenix Wright |
| ..."Kidnapping for ransom"... |
After regaining his composure, Wright immediately asked, "H-How much!?" The kidnapper congratulated Wright on his swift grasping of the situation, but then told him that what he wanted wasn't money, but was a complete acquittal for Matt Engarde. The kidnapper went on to say that Matt Engarde hadn't killed anyone, but that someone was trying to frame him. The kidnapper told Wright that the trial was due to take place in two days, and that Wright must procure an acquittal for Matt Engarde on that day, or Maya would die. In one last act of desperation, Wright asked who this person on the other end was.
| ??? |
| Alright, I'll tell you that much. My name is... De Killer. |
The call was then disconnected.
Powers immediately suggested that Wright tell the police, to which Wright responded that, if something of the sort happened, Maya would die. Pearl then asked if they could trust Detective Gumshoe. Agreeing, Wright ran back to the hallway to inform the detective of the situation. The detective subsequently offered his help, but told Wright that he would probably be in the hotel for the rest of the night. However, he managed to obtain permission to let Wright and Pearl leave.
Trial day 1
Upon entering court, Wright saw that von Karma not at the prosecutor's bench. Miles Edgeworth then entered with terrible news; on the way to court, von Karma was shot and hospitalized. Wright realized it was the "present" de Killer promised. Edgeworth stated that he will be taking her place.

Good ending
Mia told Wright that he had two options to turn the situation around: make Engarde want a guilty verdict or break de Killer's contract with his client
Phoenix relieved to hear that Maya is safe.
(both seemingly impossible
Franziska's Return
to do). At that moment, von Karma bursted into the room with three pieces of evidence. The judge then gave Wright one last chance to present one piece of evidence, and one person to present it on.
Wright presented the newly acquired video tape to Shelly de Killer, saying it had footage of him killing Juan Corrida. Engarde had placed a spy camera in a huge stuffed bear's eye to film De Killer at 8:00 PM, the time he had told De Killer to kill Corrida. Engarde could then use the video to blackmail De Killer.
De Killer realized this, and consequently broke his contract with Engarde, deciding to make him his next target, (as he broke the trust between assassin and client) meaning that Maya will be returned safely. The judge let Wright decide whether Engarde is guilty or innocent. Whatever the player chose, Engarde realized before the verdict was given that even if he was found not guilty, he would still be in danger from De Killer; he screamed that he was guilty, while scratching new scars into his face.
Matt Engarde admitting he's guilty.
Wright headed back to the defendant lobby. Von Karma then entered the room and told Wright that his perfect win record was soiled, and that his celebration was strange. Edgeworth entered the room, explaining why he left the office. He realized being a lawyer is not about being perfect, but finding the truth. Angry about Edgeworth having lost his title of being a von Karma disciple, Franziska von Karma stormed out, leaving her whip and her Gumshoe tracker behind.
Edgeworth took the tracker, while Maya entered the room to have a heartfelt reunion with Wright and Pearl. Maya declared that she is starving, so the group left for dinner at the Viola Hall. They discussed the trial, Wright gave Edgeworth the whip and, after some urging, Phoenix Wright said his catchphrase one last time.
Reunited
The game then cut to the credits.
Bad Ending
Wright wandering in despair.
The player achieves this ending if Wright either presented any evidence except the video tape, presented it to anyone but Shelly de Killer, or said anything but "He wanted to blackmail you."
Wright delivered a speech. Afterward, he fled the courtroom to wander the streets alone. Days after the trial, he heard the verdict of Adrian Andrews' trial, which was, of course, guilty. The miracle he had hoped for never happened, maybe because, as he concluded to himself, a "miracle" is something that doesn't exist. He never saw Maya again, but was sure that de Killer released her, as he was a man of his word.
One of the more well-known spelling errors in the English localization of the Nintendo DS version occurs in the bad ending when Wright said, "The miracle never happen." This error was however corrected for the English localisation in the European version of the game, which instead stated "The miracle never happened."
Credits
During the credits, Phoenix meets with all the people he met during the course of the game; e.g., Maggey Byrde tells him how she means to become a waitress, and the members of the Berry Big Circus tell Phoenix about how they plan to tour the world.
After the credits
After the credits, Edgeworth meets von Karma at the airport. He tells her that she will be a prosecutor no matter what, and returns her whip. von Karma tells Edgeworth that she was never a genius, which she always knew. However, she goes on to say that Edgeworth had always left her behind. Therefore, her revenge would be to defeat Wright in court and thus be better than Edgeworth. Edgeworth tells her that, if she quits prosecuting, the two will part ways. Von Karma begins to cry, and, through tears, tells Edgeworth that she will not be left behind. She still goes on the airplane, but says that she will deliver the fourth piece of evidence to Wright herself, when they next meet.
The final piece of evidence is revealed to be something that Maya drew while imprisoned - a picture of Wright drawn on one of de Killer's shell cards, with the word "Nick" on it.
References to other cases
- The Gatewater Imperial Hotel is owned by the same company that owns the Gatewater Hotel from Turnabout Sisters. Wright also mentions the bellboy from that case if the Viola Hall is examined and mentions that he was given something "fancy" by the latter the previous year during the events of the episode.
- There are numerous references to Turnabout Samurai during the episode since The Nickel Samurai is a sequel of sorts to The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo and The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo. Will Powers and Wendy Oldbag made their débuts in Turnabout Samurai as well.
- Wright recalls his nightmare from the beginning of The Lost Turnabout.
- "Director Hotti" and the Hotti Clinic make a reappearance from Reunion, and Turnabout.
- There are a couple of references to Turnabout Big Top during this episode, with Wright commenting that the Hero of Heroes Grand Prix award ceremony held on the Viola Hall stage was "fabulous" which Pearl says reminds her of the circus, along with the circus itself being the last hiding place of Shelly de Killer and the kidnapped Maya Fey.
Notes
- This is the first time in the Ace Attorney series that the player is able to control another character, with Maya Fey being briefly controlled at the end of each chapter.
- This case acts like a reunion of sorts for some of the characters who appeared in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney including Lotta Hart, Wendy Oldbag, Will Powers and Miles Edgeworth.
- This episode is the only one to end in a guilty verdict in the Ace Attorney series so far. The only other case Wright did not win can be found in Turnabout Succession, due to no verdict being declared. It is also the only one where receiving the "Not Guilty" verdict results in losing the game (but not the case).
- Franziska von Karma says that she will deliver the fourth piece of evidence, the vandalised de Killer calling card, to Wright when they next meet. However, at their next meeting, no mention is made of it.
- If Mia Fey and "Director Hotti" were included in the court record, this would have been the first case released to have two complete pages of profiles.
- This is the second case in which Mia Fey makes a significant appearance but is not included in the court record, the first being Turnabout Samurai.
