STORY
Unlike previous canonical games in the series, which are set in the near future and feature somewhat futuristic technology, Dai Gyakuten Saiban is set near the end of Japan's Meiji Period, when the profession of "defense attorney" was still a fairly new concept in Japanese society. The game stars Phoenix Wright's ancestor, Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, as well as a female judicial assistant named Susato Mikotoba. Although the game initially takes place in Japan, the two later travel to the United Kingdom and work cases alongside the renowned detective Sherlock Holmes.
CASES
The Adventure of the Great Departure
On November 19, college student Ryūnosuke Naruhodō finds himself accused of murdering Professor John H. Watson in the restaurant La Quantos. Three days later, he ends up in a special trial organized by the government. Naruhodō's close friend Kazuma Asōgi comes to represent him as his defense attorney. However, not wanting to jeopardize Asōgi's trip to England, Naruhodō decides to represent himself instead. Asōgi stands by his side to help him learn the ways of the courtroom.
The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band
In this investigation-only episode, Ryūnosuke Naruhodō travels to England with Susato Mikotoba on the steamship Alaclair, but during the trip he is accused in another incident involving a locked room and an adder. The mystery attracts the attention of fellow passenger Sherlock Holmes. The title is a reference to the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band".
The Adventure of the Runaway Room
Upon his arrival in London, Ryūnosuke Naruhodō is assigned to a trial involving a murder in a horse-drawn carriage. Although the young lawyer is told that this will be a simple case, Naruhodō soon finds out why nobody else would take the case: his opponent is the legendary prosecutor Barok van Zieks. The trial is further complicated when a fire breaks out in the courtroom.
The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro
After his English court debut, Ryūnosuke Naruhodō is assigned to another case. His defendant this time is Natsume Sōseki, a Japanese transfer student living with his cat Wagahai, who has been charged with stabbing a woman to death. The defendant is based on Japanese author Natsume Sōseki. The reference is further reflected in the use of the Japanese first-person pronoun Wagahai (吾輩) in the title and as the cat's name, referencing I Am a Cat, one of Sōseki's books. The English title is not a direct translation of the Japanese but instead references Kokoro, another of Sōseki's books.
The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story
Ryūnosuke Naruhodō takes on the defense of a girl named Gina Lestrade. The subtitle is a direct reference to a Sherlock Holmes novel of the same name.
