#DGS1 spoilers

Playing DGS has been an absolutely magical experience but also it's killing me because I can see all the ways that it feels like a thematic continuation of AA4
Jury System? AA4 set that up. Pursuing witnesses based on their reactions to testimony? That feels like the natural extension of perceive. Your clients and witnesses almost all being guilty of something or other even if it's not murder? Presenting "scientific evidence" that isn't taken seriously because of the lack of credentials of the girl who gave them to you? Running theme of corruption and the boundaries of the law? Revenge taken beyond the boundaries of the law and doggedly pursuing the truth despite the moral and legal repercussions of doing so? Seen that before
Even the character arcs for Ryu and Susato feel like they could have been repurposed from Apollo and Trucy. Not having faith in the law or others because they're betrayed you so many times, so you need to learn to trust in yourself? I stg that just feels like a continuation of the ideas presented for Apollo in AA4. Susato tampering with the crime scene because she lost faith seeing firsthand how the law failed, struggling with hidden feelings of inadequacy?? That could be a really nice way to expand on the themes presented in the whole forged ace debacle
I feel like I'm losing my mind but the tinfoil hat is on and I can see the ghost of AA4 in the floorboards of DGS

Courtney: To defy Chairman Debeste, is to defy the law. It would be a grave act of disloyalty. In other words, a hearing won't be needed. Are you prepared to lose your Prosecutor's Badge?
Gumshoe: Th-That's...! Mr. Edgeworth's badge...! You can't do that!
Franziska: ...Using a prosecutor's badge as a shield. What has the P.I.C. come to...?
Edgeworth: Kay...! You haven't done anything wrong!
Kay: Mr. Edgeworth... It was only for a short time, but... Thank you for everything... I'm sorry... I turned out to be a criminal...
Courtney: We will make sure to impart your confession to the Goddess of Law.
Edgeworth: .....Nngh! (What... should I do!? When I was young, I wanted to become a defense attorney like my father... Someone who can fight to save those in need...! And right now... this badge is holding me back. A mere badge, for the life of a dear friend... I don't even have to consider it...!)
Kay: ...Alright. Farewell... Mr. Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: Hold it right there! Judge Courtney!
Courtney: ...What is it now, Prosecutor Edgeworth? ! This is... your prosecutor's badge! Prosecutor Edgeworth! What is the meaning of this!?
Edgeworth: ...Consider this my resignation. I am... no longer a prosecutor!
Kay: M... Mr. Edgeworth...?
Franziska: Wh-What are you doing!? Explain yourself! Miles Edgeworth! You... you can't be serious!?
Gumshoe: Mr. Edgeworth! You... you're joking, right? If you aren't a prosecutor, then I...!
Edgeworth: My only mission is to bring the truth to light. If it's the prosecutor's path to turn a blind eye to the truth... ...then that title is worth nothing to me! I... will walk in the path that I believe in. ...I will not be stopped here!
Compare this to:
Ryunosuke: We know that Morse code comprises of two distinct tones. The defence believes that the second disk contains the second tone needed to complete the message! And now we have a chance...to confirm that theory!
Gregson: For cryin' out loud, sunshine! We're talkin' about state secrets here! If you go lettin' the whole courtroom hear confidential information like that, it's...it's treason!
Ryunosuke: Then do you admit the charge? That in order to protect those state secrets, you engaged in unlawful dealings with the witness?
Gregson: You're... You're mad... If you let that secret information out into the public domain... ...you'll...you'll be makin' an enemy of the entire British government, you idiot!
Ryunosuke: Objection! Let's not forget, Inspector, that you - a Scotland Yard officer - leaked confidential case details to a witness! That you continue to lie to the court! And all because, by fair means or foul, you're determined to do your duty. Well...by fair means or foul, I'm prepared to do mine!
Gregson: Don't you dare...
Ryunosuke: I will stop at nothing to protect my client! I don't care who I make an enemy of!
I recently reached the scene in AAI2 where Miles gives up his badge for Kay's sake in my replay, and I wanted to take a closer look at it, because the first time around it was before I had touched DGS, and as I was approaching it I wanted to draw a comparison between the actions that cause Miles to give up his badge and the actions that lead to Ryunosuke losing the ability to stand in court. Ryunosuke and Miles here commit open acts of defiance against those in command of their legal careers. It is in the meaning of these acts and the differences in the context they're in that define them as characters and explain what being a defense attorney in the AA universe is really all about.
We're going back to Rise from the Ashes first, actually, and to the story behind the King of Prosecutor's trophy. The sharpest blade and the strongest shield -- what happens when they collide? This is the premise Ace Attorney tests. It is in those contradictions that we find truth.
But what happens when the system itself is the contradiction? What do you do against it? What do you have to do to go outside it?
Ryunosuke is fundamentally an outsider to the legal system, starting off in Japan as not even a law student and coming to Britain as a foreigner. He has a perspective on the system that stems from being outside of it and primarily being with other people who are outside of it as well.
Miles is as inside as inside gets. He's a well-respected prosecutor. We just talked about the King of Prosecutor's trophy, of which he was a recipient. But I think one factor in his decision that gets overlooked fairly often is the fact that just a month and a half or so earlier he stood in court as a defense attorney, and since then he's only gotten more and more of the experience. Phoenix placed a little crack in the shell when he asked Miles to take his badge and defend Iris, and the Investigations games work their way up to shattering it entirely.
But what brings them together is this: when the system is no longer interested in the truth, it becomes necessary to circumvent it.

I was gonna make this whole post when I got to DGS about my joke theory that every Ace Attorney defense attorney is bisexual and every prosecutor is gay. There was gonna be this whole punchline how Kristoph and Klavier are an intentional shake-up of that made-up formula yadda yadda… and then DGS went and ruined it for me because Kazuma is a defense attorney and there is not a shot in hell that man is attracted to women. Unless Kazuma decides to posthumously become a prosecutor in the last few cases of DGS2 or smth I have to regretfully inform you all that my silly little post is cancelled. I’ll be mourning it. Set out some flowers I’ll let Kazuma have a few

I’m not quite sure how I feel about learning that Gina’s whole testimony was a lie… she’s kinda the only reason that I believed that dude at all… but I definitely still feel bad for her, I don’t even really blame her for it, but god is that case a mess in hindsight lol
