Summary[]
The Judicial Olympics is a tournament where the world's best lawyers and prosecutors compete against each other to reach the pinnacle of their skills. Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey head to the headquarters of the World Judicial Federation, the venue. As top courtroom warriors such as Miles Edgeworth and Franziska von Karma stare each other down, the one who loudly declares the opening of the tournament is the chairman of the tournament's executive committee, Prosecutor Godot, a man shrouded in mystery.

Established Characters[]
- Phoenix Wright (Ryūichi Naruhodō; 成歩堂龍一)
Played by: Shō Katō ()- A naturally improvising defense attorney with a strong senses of justice and powers of deduction. Maya Fey, his friend and assistant, entered Wright into the Judicial Olympics, and he later becomes the defense counsel when the ceremony is halted by murder. Childhood friend of Miles Edgeworth and Larry Butz.
- Maya Fey (Mayoi Ayasato; 綾里真宵)
Played by: Reno Nakamura ()- A bubbly, motivated teenaged spirit medium in-training, who is the assistant and friend of Wright. She entered him into the Judicial Olympics in the hopes they would win the prize of tickets to theme parks worldwide.
- Miles Edgeworth (Reiji Mitsurugi; 御剣怜侍)
Played by: Aren Kohatsu ()- A steely, reserved, by-the-book prosecutor who takes on every challenge for the sake of justice in court and believes in all truths inevitably being revealed. He entered the Judicial Olympics to investigate the public scrutiny over the Judicial Union's reported history of colluding with organized crime. Childhood friend of Wright and Butz.
- Franziska von Karma (Mei Karuma; 狩魔冥)
Played by: Mio Hanana ()- A feared, ruthless prosecutor still living in the shadow of her infamous father. She refuses to accept failure in court and cracks her whip to demonstrate her authority. She enters the Judicial Olympics to prove her superiority, then acts as the prosecution during the trial for murder that occurs during proceedings.
- Dick Gumshoe (Keisuke Itonokogiri; 糸鋸圭介)
Played by: Masaya Suzuki ()- A bumbling, yet well-meaning, police detective under the direct command of prosecutors such as Edgeworth and, more recently, von Karam. He was brought along to the Judicial Olympics as the "plus one" for von Karma (albeit strictly for menial tasks), but when murder strikes the Judicial Olympics, he quickly returns to his usual police duties.
- Larry Butz (Masashi Yahari; 矢張政志)
Played by: Sōichirō Sorihashi ()- Professional odd-job slacker and ladies' man, who is as inept at keeping a job as he is at keeping a girlfriend. His latest move is joining the Rabbits Protest Coalition that has set its sights on the Judicial Olympics. He's the strongest defender of its leader, Yoko Fukashigi, when she's taken to trial for murder. Childhood friend of Wright and Edgeworth.
- Wendy Oldbag (Kaoru Ōba; 大場カオル)
Played by: Megumi Kuge (久下恵美)- An bossy, talkative old woman hired to work for the Judicial Olympics' camera crew. She is obsessed with Edgeworth, who constantly tries to rebuff her advances and avoid her at all costs, although this has yet to deter her.
- Godot (Godō; ゴドー )
Played by: Yūki Tomotsune ()- A mysterious prosecutor with an unknown background, and the President of the Judicial Olympics Organization Committee, where he maintains his intimidating influence. He's also the mentor of Jack Cromack, who he belittles in spite of his inheritance to the position of Chairman in the Judicial Union. He has a history with the other lawyers, and he always mockingly addresses Wright as "Phoenix Trite", much to the latter's annoyance.
Original Characters[]
- Yoko Fukashigi ('; )
Played by: Masana Ōya ()- A radical activist and leader of the Rabbits Protest Coalition, which aims to peacefully expose the Judicial Union's history of corruption. When her custom-made knife is used in a murder and she quickly confesses, she's taken to trial, but Wright defends her.
- Yorkshire Belgian ('; )
Played by: Kōji Kominami ()- The MC of the Judicial Olympics, and later the ensuing murder trial. He carries his equipment in a backpack, which consists of a microphone and two megaphones.
- Kojiro Fukashigi ('; )
Played by: Hitoshi Takemura ()- Originally introduced as "Truth-kun", the official mascot of the Judicial Olympics. He's later revealed to be Yoko Fukashigi's long-lost brother and has crucial information regarding the murder case and the Judicial Union. He goes to extreme measures to save Yoko and find the answers he's looking for.
- Maldea Valenbough ('; )
Played by: Mondo Ukai ()- A Mexican prosecutor with no clear background. A belligerent, failure-intolerant strongman and the most hated of the Judicial Olympics' contestants. After being murdered, it is revealed that he was directly associated with the Judicial Union's corruption and other significant crimes in its history that are directly tied to the murder trial.
- Shorty ('; )
Played by: Yūya Hara ()- One of two henchmen for criminal syndicates tied to the Judicial Union. He gets his nickname from his short stature.

Played by: ReoNa Sonada ()- One of two henchmen for criminal syndicates to the Judicial Union. He gets his nickname from his habit of frequently falling asleep.
- Jack Cromack ('; )
Played by: Saiya Konishi ()- The Chairman of the World Judicial Federation, which he inherited from his father. He maintains public relations to dissuade reports of corruption and illicit dealings within the organization. In spite of his meek demeanor, he's an honest leader and believes in full transparency. He judges the murder trial, only to be taken hostage to force the presentation of crucial missing evidence to the court to reveal the truth.
- Antino Nivantes ('; )
Played by: Hiroshi Tagami ()- The Vice-Chairman of the World Judicial Federation. He's the primary organizer of the Union's operations and appears to have much wisdom due to his tenure, but he's the least forthcoming about the Union's activities. The secrets he keeps and aloofness he maintains prove to be motivated by the dark history the Union hides.
- Junant Maltson ('; )
Played by: Daiki Tsuji ()- An employee for the Judicial Union who's detained for stealing crucial data from the Union's databases. He hides the microchip with the information in the Gold Medal for the Judicial Olympics, which sets off the chain of events escalating to the murder. It's revealed that an unknown mastermind in a rabbit suit kidnapped his daughter and forced Maltson to pay the ransom for her release.
