    It's interesting how in Chapter 2, Dogen seems to be this heartless scary killer, and Patricia is a normally kind woman who let her paranoia get the better of her. And now in Chapter 5, Dogen (while still a remorseless killer) has shown a softer side - like rescuing 2 children from freezing to death - while Patricia has been shown to be an evil greedy bitch beneath her warm exterior

    There’s a little hint to Simon’s relation to Gustavia way back when you first meet him. Ray offers him some chocolate to cheer him up, but he refuses the offer saying how he dislikes sweets. Considering how his father used him as a taste tester which led to him getting amnesia and nearly freezing to death as well as being cruelly abandoned by him too it’s no wonder he would develop an aversion to sweets even if he himself can’t recall the reason why.

    • @arturoaguilar6002

      然る方/saru kata is actually unrelated to monkey, it just means "a certain individual". It's just that the 然る part is coincidentally a homophone to 猿/saru/monkey. The use of this homophone may have been intentional of course but it's also a common phrase that you wouldn't blink at if you came across it in any other context.

      I spoiled myself in a similar way on a few things, back before we were even in Case 2 I spoiled myself that Knightley would be the next victim, a fake Di-Jun Huang would die at some point, and Simon had an alternate persona (and that other special thing certain characters get like Knightley and Blaise had) although at the time I didn't know for sure still what role Simon would be playing, as well as the general existence of a character called 'Blaise Debeste' although I had no idea who they were.

I wish we saw more banter between PW, AJ, and Kristoph because there could have been a unique mentor-shifting arc too if he managed to get away from case 1. Implicate Olga Orly, but in the end of the game go ahead and say it had been Kristoph all along.

    @Nintendrone42 2 роки тому +40

    The way the mystery unravels here is really good, but one thing that pisses me off in this scene is that just minutes after Dogen admits he wouldn't be able to escape three opponents without help, he manages to slip away from a group of TEN people, several of which were law enforcement that should've been keeping an eye on him.

    • @zorquil
      @zorquil 2 роки тому +22

      Dogen probably had enough time to prepare an escape route. After all, he wouldn't just appear in front of several officers and witnesses without some sort of escape plan. He was also listening in and keeping track of what was going on. Even if it was a simple "sneak away" or "sick Anubis on Edgeworth" plan, it still worked because he distracted them with so much more information.
      He said he didn't have Anubis with him during the time he assassinated the president. He probably only came to kill the president and wasn't expecting a betrayal. Why he stayed around after killing the president though... there's the possibility he was awaiting for payment or had another order to execute. After all, if he killed the president outside and somehow was in the building afterward, there was something else he had to do if he was sticking around.
      Of course, there may be others who will be willing to correct me on any details that I missed. After all, I don't know if there was any information provided for what happened between the assassination and Dogen's escape.

    Hour fifteen hype! Let’s end this on Part 69!
    0:24 But did you call it correctly is the thing? You may have called that John Marsh is Di-jun Huang’s son, but one look as the age gap between Coutney and John should tell you something’s not adding up.
    1:16 And there you go. 13 years apart isn’t unbelievable, but there’s a lot of issues regarding teenage pregnancies that I’m certain the writers did not want to get involved with.
    Turns out Di-jun Huang either divorced or had a fling with Amy Marsh, thus why John’s last name is Marsh and not Huang. Pretty sickening, impregnating someone and then leaving them behind to care for the child on her own. Provided she didn’t call for a divorce, it’s definitely unbecoming of someone who Lang deeply respects.
    6:42 So somehow President Huang knew about John before Amy called, or maybe the will was written just before? I can believe the last part considering what I know of the events.
    7:20 This is all above his pay grade.
    9:28 What a great mom Courtney turned out to be in 5 years. Her maternal instincts are so honed. Definitely refreshing to see a good parent who’s still alive in this series; they’re quite the rarity.
    10:13 Wouldn’t it be great if we had a spirit medium nearby who could bring Lang’s dad back just so we could confirm with the man himself? For real though, as funny and cool as it was to have Edgeworth use the Magatama in Bridge to the Turnabout, I’m glad that Edgeworth’s own games and appearances have otherwise veered away from the realm of magic and more towards logic and technology. It makes sense to keep him distant from magic too seeing how he indirectly and unintentionally had his life altered drastically by Misty Fey bringing Gregory back.
    There’s no more gay chess land in the game. We ended it with The Best gay chess land player. Any future instances would just fall short.
    13:53 I really like this testimony between Lang and Edgeworth. No more accusing innocents. No more antagonizing the other side. The two of them are doing this to try to puzzle together the pieces they’ve come across in order to find the truth, basically confirming and reconfirming what they know and seeing if anything new comes to light as a result.
    15:40 If that were the case, why would Dogen be in the kid’s drawing with the president? That’s what you’re thinking, right?
    Apparently not.
    18:46 You think they’d murder children in these games? Maybe accuse them of murder but still.
    20:35 Think back. Remember what Shelly and Lang said? The former said that the President used body doubles…while Lang said that the President was like a whole different person after the kidnapping.
    25:40 And that’s why Shelly never followed through on his contract to kill “President Huang”. His encounter with Rooke told him everything; this was a bad target and he’d been deceived.
    30:40 Man, Cameron wasn’t much different from Lotta in that sense. All he wanted was a scoo(p) on what the President of Zheng Fa was doing visiting an orphanage in the middle of the night.
    34:00 And then news would’ve broken out about John being President Huang’s son and that controversy that Edgeworth thought about would’ve destroyed Zheng Fa. President Huang was everything to them.
    He’s Sirhan Mother Effing Dogen. He can do whatever he wants and go wherever he pleases. The prison’s just like a new home for him that he can leave and return to whenever he feels it’s time.
    38:02 The body double of course.
    Typically when people mimic others, they tend to exaggerate certain aspects of the one being mimicked.
    No, the body double was upset that he was the one getting shot at while the real President remained safe as houses and gained all the glory and admiration of the people. Basically, the dude was tired of being the President’s shadow.
    40:18 This is also why Patricia was scared of Dogen and why she and Blaise were so concerned about finding out everything they could about him. Patricia was bribed into this. Getting the ire of Dogen wasn’t what she signed up for. She didn’t ask for Edgeworth to end up sending him to her prison. She wasn’t untouchable unlike Blaise who seemingly was.
    44:55 Do they look familiar? They should. We’ve seen them before.
    46:04 This is why you have the IS-7 files. It’s all connected.
    49:37 Clearly can’t be Knightley. He’s dead. But if that’s the case, who does that leave us with? Who else has connections to things that have happened?
    53:38 No you’re not. Otherwise how could you possibly end on Part 69?
    54:25 Remember how he expressed surprise that Knightley was his correspondence chess partner? Well now that he’s dead how has Dogen been in contact with the mastermind?
    57:31 We saw this ring as far back as The Imprisoned Turnabout. Frank even Sawit.
    1:00:05 Someone’s been playing chess and making sure all the pieces are where they should be. They’re the puppets dancing along to the beat of his drum.
    1:01:45 It got added when you found out about Knightley’s ancestry and affects.
    1:03:06 The only time Dogen ever lied in this game was about Anubis holding the chisel in his mouth and that was because of course that would cast further suspicion on to Dogen. Otherwise though the man has spoken nothing but the truth, not unlike another gentleman assassin who only lied because of the suspicion the truth would cast on him.
    1:05:16 When Ray offered him chocolates, he said that he didn’t like sweets. When Sebastian gave his first ever testimony “Reasons for Arrest”, he was right on the money though for all the wrong reasons. When we were looking for John, he conveniently went to a location that told us where we needed to look for him. Compare his shirt to one of the masks that was worn during the auction and remember what Ema and Edgeworth said about it. His name could refer to Shy Monkeys like the See/Hear/Speak No Evil monkey statues, but monkeys are also pretty cunning animals when they need to be. A Key individual who made everyone from play Simon says exactly as he had choreographed, putting on a wonderful circus show full of laughs, tears, and applause. The answer has been staring you right in the face since The Imprisoned Turnabout.
    1:06:42 As a different great thief once quoted “[There’s] not much different between an idiot and a genius.”
    1:11:47 We trusted the President of Zheng Fa to be who he said he was, and that was all a lie too
