"Why can't I stop not accidentally murdering people?" - the Soseki Natsume story which you can read about on Wikipedia I am sure.

Wait, there's a whole second game? AND A WHOLE SECOND LAWYER?!!?

Game 1 comes to the end of this very long series of games in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Tune in next week when we cover the second and last game, but for now, here's an ending!

Our objective this week is to break down those hardened criminals, the Skulkin Brothers, on the stand. (And by "hardened" we of course mean, "adorable." Ok, ok, so they shot ONE guy. C'mon.)

It's time to visit the Stars of Victorian Pawn Shops, like the loveable Pop Windibanks and... well, that's it. Don't get too attached.

Find you a bobby who looks at you the way Roly looks at Pat. Maybe not the other stuff, though.

...What do you mean he's a real guy?

Now it's time to save a maybe evil Scrooge McDuck analogue from Dracula and his six jurors/bosses/henchmen. My Castlevania metaphor breaks down here because they all use fireballs, and it wasn't great to begin with but we could pretend. Candles do get struck, at least. Anyway, VNBC time!

My dear Dr. Wilson, eliminate the impossible and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the next episode of Visual Novel Book Club
