In Capcom’s latest video for The Great Ace Attorney, director Shu Takumi and producer Shintaro Kojima spoke about the origins of main character Ryunosuke Naruhod. You’ll find a summary of what was shared below, courtesy of Siliconera’s translation.

– Ryunosuke is a university student when the story begins
– He becomes determined to be an attorney after becoming involved with a certain incident
– “Naruhodo” is the Japanese version for “Wright”
– Ryunosuke is the ancestor of Phoenix, and The Great Ace Attorney will tell the tale of how the first attorney of the Wright family came to be, and how it carried on after
– Players will see more traditional garments since the game is set in the Meiji Period of Japan when “defense attorney” was still a new concept
– Initially decided to give Ryunosuke the sharp look of a university student
– This wasn’t an issue, but designing his hairstyle took more time
– Takumi says that he wanted something recognizable from a silhouette
– Given the time period, most people had simple haircuts, and they wouldn’t have wanted to give that to the protagonist
– “Ryunosuke” name was decided on within ten seconds
– As Phoenix’s name in Japanese is “Ryunoichi,” they began writing a list of names they could use, and the very first one was Ryunosuke
– The development team ended up keeping this name until the end
– The concept of Ryunosuke’s character came from the idea of how Phoenix would act and speak if he were living in the Meiji Period
– Since he’s not exactly a proper attorney, you’ll see Ryunosuke display a little nervousness and inexperience, which adds to his character and the setting

Translations of this week’s Famitsu article on The Great Ace Attorney have already come in. Read on below for all of the latest details.

– Called “The Adventure of the Speeding Locked Room”
– Focuses on a murder that took place in a horse-drawn carriage
– Ryuunosuke is drawn into the case upon arriving in London when he’s summoned by the Chief Justice, Hurt Vortex
– Hurt Vortex: strict adherer to science and a man who focuses on time above all else
– Vortex assigns Ryuunosuke to take on the case of a man nobody else will defend
– Vortex mentions that it’s a “simple case”, but there’s a mountain of evidence against the man and a severe penalty if he’s found guilty
– Cosney Megendal is the one on trial
– Cosney Megendal: English gentleman well-known around town for his almost uncannily good disposition
– Megendal is well-liked, though nobody will take on his defense
– This is because legendary prosecutor Barok van Zieks is handling the case
– Ryuunosuke gets dropped into court with hardly any time to prepare
– Baro is a master at presenting evidence at just the right moment to leave an impression on the jury
– New witness: Gina Lestrade
– Gina: a young pickpocket who lives amongst the orphans of London’s East End
– Gina witnessed the case while she was “working”
– As the case develops and even the carriage itself is brought into court, things take a turn for the unexpected when a fire breaks out in the courtroom
