some of what’s up with this guy

nice. I THINK SO I’ll be honest I haven’t fleshed it out very much, BUT. I was thinking abt how they’d do a crossover if they did do one, and then stopped thinking about how they’d do a crossover. So it kinda is laid out like

trial is for the murder/disappearance of shinichi

ran is the last person to see him therefore kind of the prime and only suspect

protag team jumps in to defend her, mostly because maya can immediately just Ask A Ghost and his alive body what happened, but they don’t have any proof, the truth is ridiculous, and they need a way to get the ACTUAL thing that happened into the open SAFELY and also make sure ran doesn’t go to jail or something-

teamwork happens to pull edgeworth and klavier into the prosecution, because they can help, and sonoko can be smart on occasion

it would be really funny if we had a Bit where kaito gets to give a witness testimony because he does not want to be in court,

ahhhh. … that’s where his legs went……… obviously they’re still alive, so they must have turned into conan……… genius…………..

because this is ace attorney it plays by ace attorney rules which means the climax must happen in court, within the relative safety of a structured debate

this does not mean nothing will blow up

they need to get a new witness podium at one point because ran accidentally breaks it in half

akai and amuro are involved because this is actually a chance to take down at least some of the black organization. Ostensibly, they’re there to help prosecute

actually just bourbon is there to help prosecute

we can’t make akai leave but conan seems to like him so he can stay for now

kay, trucy, and kaito have just grappling hooked out a window somewhere someone besides Edgeworth get them because if he has to get them he might have a heart attack
