Gyakuten Saiban 4: Naruhodo Minuki 02

Apollo's assistant in Gyakuten Saiban 4, Trucy is a bright and energetic teenager who is a bit of a trickster. She has the ability to read a person’s body language without an aide like Apollo’s bracelet. Her name in both English and Japanese mean “truth” or “to see through”.

Kipi makes an awesome Trucy, don’t you think? Too bad she doesn’t have Mr. Hat like the other cosplayer. Thanks to Vaness for sending this!

Gyakuten Saiban 3: Hondobou Kaoru

The eccentric chef and owner of the French restaurant Trés Bien, Hondobou Kaoru also known as Jean Armstrong is very passionate about cooking, but fails in making palatable dishes. Worse, the food he serves is ridiculously overpriced, driving his customers away. Jean is very flowery with his mannerisms and aims to please, but is also easily bullied.

Now isn’t this one of the most adorable, if not epic, cosplays you’ve ever seen? Thanks to Letty for sending this!

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Naruhodo Minuki

Daughter of Arumajiki Zakku and Yumi (Zak and Thalassa Gramarye), Minuki (Trucy Wright) possesses the power of perception like her mother and grandfather, Arumajiki Tensai (Magnifi Gramarye). In Zakku's disappearance, Ryuichi (Phoenix) decided to adopt Minuki as his own daughter which she accepted without hesitation. She adores magic and her favorite trick is Mr. Hat, a puppet that pops out from behind her and wears her hat. She and Odoroki Hosuke (Apollo Justice) are half siblings, though neither are aware of this fact.

This is a pretty cool cosplay of Minuki with a Mr. Hat to boot! I’m not even sure how she managed to carry that puppet beside her… Thanks again to Ophelia for sending this in!

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Arumajiki Baran, Arumajiki Yumi, and Arumajiki Zakku

Baran (Valant), Yumi (Thalassa), and Zakku (Zak) are members of the trio of the Gramarye Troupe. When Zak was accused of Arumajiki Tensai’s (Magnifi Gramarye’s) murder, Zak had to leave his daughter under the care of Naruhodo Ryuichi (Phoenix Wright), who was Zakku’s lawyer at the time. The incident left Baran to revive the popularity of the Gramarye Troupe on his own.

Very cool cosplay! Though I wish we could see Baran’s face, Zakku’s expression is priceless. Thanks to Ophelia for sending this in!

Gyakuten Saiban: Yahari Masahi

Well-known for his unbelievable antics in school, Larry Butz is a childhood friend of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. He is a flight-of-fancy character and is quite prone to yelling fits. He’s had several jobs and several girlfriends over the years, but can never seem to keep either one for a long period of time.

Nevertheless, he remains happy with his life, despite finding himself caught between court cases. As the saying goes: “When something smells, it’s usually the Butz.”

Awesome cosplay! It’s too bad the photo is a little blurry, but the cosplayer really got the character down! I wonder if there are any other characters from the series who cosplayed with him? Thanks to Rue for sending this in!

Gyakuten Saiban Cosplay : Karuma Mei

Karuma Mei, commonly known as Franziska Von Karma, is a young prosecutor who regards Miles Edgeworth as her little brother, despite their ages. It’s of interesting note that she actually has an older sister who’s married and has a daughter, but the game hasn’t mentioned this just yet.

I really do not know about this anime, when I found it on Kosupurai, I know that this is a  Karuma May cosplay from Gyakuten Saiban. I think she's very sweet, and I want to know more ^ ^. maybe I would try to find this manga and anime soon. 

Gyakuten Saiban 3: Auchi Takefumi

The "Rookie Killer" who enjoys mocking young attorneys to no avail, Auchi Takefumi is a prosecutor who generally starts the case strong, but if quickly demoralized when defense attorneys find holes in his evidence.

In the English version, his name is Winston Payne, which is a pun of “Wince in Pain”.

I miss playing the Gyakuten Saiban series and making Payne weep, haha! I’m still waiting for Miles’ game to come out early next year! It should prove to be very interesting to play the opposing team. But anyway, really great job on this cosplay! Thanks for sharing it!

Gyakuten Saiban 3: Godot

A prosecutor shrouded in mystery, Godot enjoys drinking coffee, claiming to drink no more than 17 cups in one court session. He is also almost blind and has to wear an electronic visor in order to see. He is the main prosecutor in the third installment of Gyakuten Saiban and seems to have a grudge against Ryuichi.

This is one amazing cosplay. I found this on Deviant Art and the cosplayer’s name there is Kazzu. Photography was done by Unforgiven Mind. Great job and thanks for sharing this!

Gyakuten Saiban 2: Karuma Mei 02

It’s been a while since I last posted Shibata Ina’s picture. So here’s one of her cosplaying as Karuma Mei from Gyakuten Saiban 2!

Karuma Mei, commonly known as Franziska Von Karma, is a young prosecutor who regards Miles Edgeworth as her little brother, despite their ages. It’s of interesting note that she actually has an older sister who’s married and has a daughter, but the game hasn’t mentioned this just yet.

How did I get this info you ask? From the Court Records, of course.

Anyway, this is a really cute shot of Shibata Ina! I love her cosplays, and I hope she does more!

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Garyu Kirihito

Kyouya’s (Klavier’s) older brother, Kirihito (Kristoph), is an old friend of Ryuichi’s (Phoenix’s). He is a perfectionist in every way, and even though he is cool and collected, he can be very intimidating in court… even to his own apprentice, Odoroki (Apollo). He is considered to be the best defense attorney after Ryuichi was disbarred for presenting falsified evidence.

This is one cool cosplay. I’m quite a big fan of Gyakuten Saiban, and even though the 4th wasn’t accepted much by hard core Phoenix Wright fans, I still appreciated it for its consistent near game play. Great job on this!

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Mayudzuki Daian

The usually cool and collected detective who specializes in international cases, Mayudzuki Daian, aka Daryan Crescend from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, is the bass guitarist of The Gavinners and a close friend of Garyu Kyouya’s. He can be pretty sensitive about certain things like his guitar playing; criticizing on which can make him lose his cool and turn into a jerk.

What can I say? That hair-style is pretty impressive. I doubt that’s actual hair on his head, but it’s pretty accurate to the character. I love his jacket too.

Gyakuten Saiban 2: Hanaka Nodoko

I literally did a double take when I found this cosplay:

People who’ve played Gyakuten Saiban 2, aka Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All, will remember how annoying this character was. She seemed like an air head who spent most of her time sleeping and not knowing much about what was going on.

Or so it may seem.

Of course, as usual, I won’t spoil the game play for anyone. It really is a great game, and you guys should pick it up some time.

Nice job on this cosplay! She was apparently found in this year’s Sakura Con. I attended that convention way back in 2004, I should go again some time. You can find the original here.

Gyakuten Saiban 2: Karuma Mei

Last year, on June 16th, there was a “Toys, Hobbies, and Collectibles Convention” in SM Megamall’s Megatrade Hall. An event I missed thanks to work, but I had no idea I missed such a great looking cosplay..!

Addy is cosplaying Karuma Mei, more commonly known as Franziska Von Karma from the game “Gyakuten Saiban 2″ (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 2 - Justice For All). Mei is the undefeated Prosecutor from Germany who came to Japan in order to defeat Naruhodo Ryuichi and avenge her adoptive brother, Mitsurugi Reiji. Of interesting note, is that in the Japanese version, Mei went to America to study law, not Germany.

Did I mention she became a prosecutor when she was only 13?

Lovely cosplay; and this was originally found in Raincontreras’s Flickr account. I wonder what Mei is saying here though? Probably something like “Foolish fools who foolishly dreams a foolish fool’s dream”?

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Lamiroir

Warning: This review has a lot of spoilers for Gyakuten Saiban 4 (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney). You have been warned!

A famous singer from Borginia, Lamiroir has a little secret. She has no idea who she really is, and she’s pretending to be “normal” when she’s really… blind. Her assistant and pianist, Machi Tobaye stays close to her and pretends to be the one who is blind in order to avert suspicions from himself. It is later reveled in the series that Lamiroir is actually Arumajiki Yumi (Thalassa Gramarye in the English version), the only daughter of Arumajiki Tensai (Magnifi Gramarye) and the mother of Odoroki Housuke (Apollo Justice) and Naruhodo Minuki (Trucy Wright).

Beautiful eyes… I wonder what she looks like without the mask?
