...😱!!!

M... M- Mr Asman!!

Well I never imagined this! That this unusual postbox would allow for a contact with the afterlife!

🤯 H- Hello! I- I'm Nos E. Prick, reporting for The Daily Circus, sir! Oh, you sir, have no idea! You are a myth, a legend amongst us young journalists!

QUESTION!!!: What is the secret to effectively utilizing 🎩 gentleman power🎩 to achieve one's life goals?

With great admiration! 😍

Mr Nos E. Prick

Dear Mr. Prick,

It is wonderful to hear from someone who holds me in the regard I have earned over the course of my life. I do not understand the mechanics by which the living are able to contact me in this afterlife, nor have I really figured out how to contact others undead, but I am happy that I was able to hear from an upstanding young man as yourself.

I cannot speak on just any life path, but I do know how to achieve one's goals if such goals are in the esteemed field of journalism. The advice I will give will be obvious, though not easy to follow.

You must do anything you can in order to get the news. You may find yourself causing scandals anonymously so that you can be the one to have the first story out about it. You can bend the truth if it would benefit you, because outright lies are far easier to prove than simple exaggerations.

Involve yourself with those who make headlines. Politicians, criminals, wealthy men... anyone who can give you a leg up on the competitors. Create good relationships with those who are in the thick of conflict or scandal, and they will tell you about it. Do not be afraid to portray their side of the story. Outrage still pays the bills. If you desire more advice, I could go on and on, though I would hate to bore you.

Yours, Odie Asman

Leaked DGS2 Localised Names

Following on from my previous post (here), last month’s leaks also contained the localised names of the characters who debuted in Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2. Beware of potential spoilers, especially since the existence of certain characters in this game is a spoiler in itself. This list will not include characters who already made their debut in DGS1.

The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney

Minor Changes: Ryuutarou Naruhodou -> Ryutaro Naruhodo (accents removed) Seishirou Jigoku -> Seishiro Jigoku (accents removed)

Major Changes:

Haori Murasame -> Rei Membami A “haori” is an article of Japanese clothing, and “Murasame” comes from the Japanese for a “passing shower”. “Rei Membami” is a pun on “remember me”, referring to her admiration and affection for Susato.

Heita Mamemomi -> Raiten Menimemo “Mamemomi”, as well as being satisfying to say, comes from “memoru”, “to write a memo”. “Raiten Menimemo” is a play on “writing many memo(s).”

The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro

No Changes: Duncan Ross Selden

Minor Changes: Mrs Altamont -> Quinby Altamont (gives her a first name, “queen bee” pun)

Major Changes:

William Petenshy -> William Shamspeare  “Petenshy” comes from a Japanese word for “crook”, and “William” is a reference to William Shakespeare. “Shamspeare” = “sham” + “Shakespeare”, hinting at his deceitful nature.

Decargo Mieterman -> Adron B. Metermann “Decargo” derives from “dekai ago” meaning “big chin”, describing his appearance. The “Mieterman” pun originally meant “saw it all” (”mitta man”) but has been adapted into “meter man”, since he works with gas meters. “Adron B.” sounds like “a drone bee”, referring to his design/connection to Mrs Altamont.

The Return of the Great Departed Soul

No Changes: Toby Gotts (I am NOT writing out his whole name) Enoch Drebber Courtney Sithe Masked Disciple

Minor Changes: Maria Goulloyne -> Maria Gorey (changed to make the pun work)

Major Changes:

Benjamin Dobinbough -> Albert Harebrayne “Dobinbough” comes from “do binbou” meaning “very poor”. “Albert” is a reference to Albert Einstein, and “Harebrayne” comes from “hare-brained”, someone who is rash and makes foolish decisions.

Elyder Meningen -> Odie Asman His Japanese name is a pun on “erai dame ningen”, “incredibly bad person”. Meningen is also a character in the Holmes novels. “Odie Asman” keeps the pun with “odious man”.

Rumba Marmatch -> Balthazar Lune “Rumba” is a phonetic rearrangement of the Japanese “barun” (balloon), and the “maru” in “Marmatch” means “round”. “Balthazar Lune” keeps the balloon pun (“Bal... Lune”). “Lune” means “moon”, which also gives a “round” impression.

Connette Rozaic -> Esmerelda Tusspells “Connette” comes from “koneru”, “to knead” (a word related to clay-working); “Rozaic” comes from “rozaiku” meaning “waxworks”. The localisation seems to have gone for witchy puns instead, with “Tusspells” being a combination of “Tussauds” (a famous real-life British waxwork museum) and “spells”.

Twisted Karma & His Last Bow

No Changes: Venus Sandwich Gossip

Minor Changes: Harry Barricade -> Barry Caiden (changed to make name more natural)

Major Changes:

Anna Mittlemont -> Evie Vigil “Mittlemont” sounds like “miteiru mono”, a person who watches. This is preserved in “Vigil”. Additionally, “Evie” sounds like “eve” or “evening”, making her name similar to “evening vigil”.

Everyday Mittlemont -> Daley Vigil His full Japanese name roughly sounds like “a person who watches every day”; a “daily vigil” is more or less the same thing.

Maurice de Quilco -> Fabien de Rousseau “de Quilco” comes from “dekiru ko”, “capable child”. “Maurice” is a French name. “Fabien” is also a French name, and “Rousseau” sounds like “rouge” meaning “red” in French, a reference to his hair.

Marco di Gicho -> Peppino di Rossi Similarly to de Quilco, “di Gicho” comes from “dojikko”, meaning “clumsy child”. “Marco” is an Italian name. “Peppino” is also an Italian name, and “Rossi” comes from “rosso”, Italian for “red”, again referring to his hair.

The Resolve of Ryuunosuke Naruhodou

Minor Changes: Genshin Asougi -> Genshin Asogi (accents removed Klimt van Zieks -> Klint van Zieks (changed to make name more natural) Ann Sasha -> Asa Shinn (changed to preserve the pun)

Major Changes: Mapotov Stroganov -> Tchikin Strongenov The “stroganov” change is the same as his brother’s from DGS1, but “Mapotov” (Mapo tofu is a Chinese tofu dish) changes to “Tchikin” (chicken, which is also a type of stroganoff).

Let me know if I missed anyone, or if I’ve missed out on any puns!

DGS2 Case 3: Review and Thoughts

sooooo much happened in this case, this was such a long case 3, who said this much was allowed in c ase 3

i am obscenely emotionally compromised by what happens in the last 10 minutes of the case so please forgive me if any of my explanations seem weird or lacking.

Review

Background

10 years ago, a serial killer by the name of Professor was running lose around England.  His targets were always those of nobility or higher, and it took until his last target--Klimt van Zieks, older brother to Barok--until he was finally caught.

The Professor’s trial was held in secret for one very important reason: he was a Japanese man in England as part of a study abroad program, and his identity getting out to the public would cause outrage and may even spark a war between Japan and England.

He was sentenced to hanging, and given a metal mask to wear.  Courtney Sithe--then known by her maiden name, Courtney Simon--declared him dead, but he was actually still alive.

Nevertheless, he was buried...and that’s when a young, promising university student appeared. Enoch Drebber was part of a small group of grave robbers that would go to the prison cemetery to dig up the bodies of freshly-buried prisoners.  That night he headed for the Professor’s grave, but as luck would have it he arrived just as Professor dug himself out of his own grave and “revived”.  He was spooked--understandably--just as someone behind him fatally wounded Professor with a gunshot, killing him for good.

Enoch told this story to a number of outlets, but only one, the Daily Circus, actually published his name. This article, written by journalist Elyder Meningen, sparked Enoch’s downfall. His “side job” as a grave robber exposed, he was forced to leave school and give up his promising career as a scientist.

Sometime just after this, Madame Rozaic showed up in the graveyard to take a “mold” of Professor’s face for her wax museum.  She later heard about the “revival” story from the Daily Circus and approached Enoch to take a wax mold of him as well for her “Hall of Terror” display.

Finally, for an undisclosed length of time, Elyder had been blackmailing Courtney, threatening to reveal that she misjudged Professor’s death if she didn’t pay a certain sum of money every month.

The Crime

One year ago, Elyder showed up to Enoch’s workshop. Known as an investor to the general public, Elyder had transformed into the center of a criminal organization via the many connections he made as a journalist over the years.  He himself didn’t actually remember Enoch as a subject of his article, and instead came to him as a creator and “swindler”.  He had just approached a young scientist by the name of Benjamin Dobinbough about his theory on teleportation, and wanted Enoch to build a machine for him with the goal of getting money from the government.

During this visit, Enoch noticed an interesting article in the newspaper Elyder was holding--the creation of a new forensic investigation unit, with coroner Courtney Sithe at the head.  Upon seeing this, he decided to get revenge on all the people that ruined his life a decade ago.  He would kill Elyder, and force members of Scotland Yard to be his accomplice.

The machine used for the teleportation machine was designed like a magic trick. There was a trick floor that connected to a shaft in the platform through which the experimentee would fall.  Then, from a balloon hanging above the test site, a second cage would fall to the Crystal Tower, setting up the illusion that a teleportation actually happened. In this first cage would be the real Elyder Meningen; in the second would be the wax figure of the Professor, stolen by Enoch a few days previously.

Enoch chose this particular wax model to coerce Courtney into going along with his plan.  She would find the wax model in the cage that fell through the Crystal Tower, along with a letter from someone who “knows the truth about 10 years ago.”  Using the instructions in the letter, she set up the crime scene so that it appeared that teleportation actually occurred, and that Benjamin was the culprit.

Though because Courtney was being blackmailed by Elyder, she didn’t need much coercion; she worked with the forensics unit to set up the crime scene as detailed by the letter, but on her own head to the underside of the machine and into the shaft.  Just as Elyder was getting out of the cage, she stabbed him with a screwdriver, setting up Benjamin as planned, but also getting her own revenge.

Other pertinent info

Where do I ever start. I think I start with a bullet list.

Professor is Asougi’s father, and came to Japan with Yuujin and Jigoku to study abroad 16 years ago

Professor’s method of killing was with a large hound that would rip into the victim’s neck.

Klimt was chief prosecutor at the time of his death, and it was he who helped set up the exchange programs

Asougi is very much alive, and it’s implied Sherlock was in on it, though we don’t yet know what “it” is.

Vortex introduced Barok to an amnesiac Asougi about three months ago. On Vortex’s orders, Asougi had to wear a mask, and he could not talk to anyone else.

After the trial, Barok called Ryuu and Susato into the empty court. He revealed to them who the Professor was (and also why he has such a strong hatred of Japanese people); this reveal also sparked Asougi’s memories returning.

Ryuu returned karuma to Asougi, and after cutting down the wax figure of Professor, left.

When Susato was very young and had finally gotten used to living with her father, she overheard him talking about a friend that had “died of illness” while in England, and that he left a son--Asougi. Asougi, to fulfill a promise with his father, became an attorney. Susato decided to become a legal cleric to help him.

For the International Forensics Symposium, Yuujin and Jigoku will be visiting England.

Susato knows about the “Hound of the Baskervilles” manuscript because Yuujin actually has it, and Susato spotted it in his office shortly before leaving for England.

For reasons yet unknown, Gregson is going to be transferred to Paris soon, and he plans to take Gina with him.

Thoughts

Holy hell I never expected this much out of a case that tends to be more filler than not.

Also the parallels between Jezail and Professor, what with international relations being at stake, are not lost on me. idk if the game will ever address them, thouh.

Honestly I was already surprised when Professor was revealed to be a Japanese man, and was curious when Susato mentioned she recognized him, but I FUCKING NEVER WOULD HAVE CALLED HIM BEING ASOUGI’S FATHER.

I don’t yet know how to feel re: the GUILT of the professor, however. As in: will the game go the route of proving he was framed? It seems like a very ACE ATTORNEY thing to do, to be honest, but I’m honestly not sure.  Either way, Asougi’s “true motive” likely involves the Professor’s case.

Otherwise, my head is just SWIMMING with all this new info...I can’t even begin to imagine how the game will go from here, when this case was already FINAL CASE CALIBER in terms of reveals and emotional gut punches.

[rubiaryuplays]

Incidentally, I don’t remember if I mentioned it on here, but I caught Elyder Meningen’s name pun from the first time I saw it, from one of the Capcom TV demos.

“Eraida Meningen” -> “Erai dame ningen” = “an important-like and hopeless person”

Suited to someone who turned out to be the leader of a crime syndicate.

[airisuwatoson]

oh jesus what is that name

エライダー・メニンゲン... elyder meningen??

[ask-post-dgs2-crew]

To odie ASSman,

Did you ever realize the man you hired for your last great deception was someone whose life you ruined years ago?

Btw why did you decide to publish his name back then?

And lastly... How is hell for you? 🤭

RIP Bozo you won't be missed,

Anon

To anon:

I do not appreciate your poking fun at my name. It is something I have heard a great deal of times, so if you could try and come up with something a tad more colorful, I would much appreciate it.

I did not realize that he was someone whose life I had ruined. I tell the news, the truth, in any way that I can. The fallout from such actions are not my concern. I published his name because I did not see any reason not to, as people may question the veracity of the account if I did not state my source.

Hell is hell. And I'll see you there. Odie Asman
