Sorry if this was already posted, but in case four, Edgey determined that the scene of the crime was planted to look like the two killed each other because the ink stain was on the hand opposite of the one the gun was in. Unfortunately, the victim could have been ambidexterous.

After Lang takes a bullet in his leg by Badd's gun he just walks around as normal later on. Granted it's his lower thigh but shouldn't his mobility still have been affected?

I find it amusing that the Ambassador Alba commits a murder in the Theatre Neutralis. Neutralis = neutral = Latin for ne-uter (neither of two). And given how this is based on the common law, he did commit murder on grounds that he has no diplomatic immunity. So it's a bit of a contradiction that he still uses his diplomatic immunity even though he has no grounds to use it.

> But at the time he was invoking it, everyone thought the murder hadn't occurred there.

Assuming he had taken law, one of the fundamentals of being an ambassador, he should have known before doing the deed. After all, only when did we get the conclusion did the pieces fall into place. However, I do find that interesting that he had all that time to commit a murder, clean the place up (almost) spotless and get back before a play finished...how long does a ruddy Steel Samurai play goes for?

> Of course Alba knows that he can't invoke extraterritorial rights on neutral ground. He's an ambassador :p
What I'm saying is, he's consciously lying, because he knows it's in his advantage to invoke them as long as the others believe the murder occurred in his country.
Regarding why he chose to murder the victim on neutral ground in the first place... quite simply, because he was driven by other considerations. Murdering him at this place and time was the best window of opportunity.

However, in the same vein, he could have easily asked Manny to go to the Allebahst embassy and kill him there. I fail to see the logic in that vein. But then again, this is Ace Attorney and nothing is as sophisticated as the above anyway.

So, that commemorative photo of Quercus, Colias, and Larry had to have been taken before the Steel Samurai Show. After all, Quercus says "My bouquet was lying around during the show, so anyone could've taken the knife and killed Manny." Obviously if the knife was in the bouquet after the show, and therefore after the murder, that would not be a valid argument, so the photo was taken before the murder.

We can see in the photo that at that point, the knife was already missing its petal. Therefore, the petal fell off before the murder (and before Quercus even took the knife out of the bouquet). So how the heck did it wind up in the pushcart? I mean, if it fell off during the murder I guess there could be an extremely slim chance that it would pefectly lodge itself on Manny's person so that it could somehow magically fall out when Shih-na brought it out of the pool. But if it had fallen out before Quercus even entered the theater, how could it have gotten to where it did?

(gee, I sure hope this hasn't been brought up before)

The evidence bag with blood on. We find out that Calistio used this bag to hold the knife to stab Byrne so that her prints wouldnt get on the knife, and also so that blood wouldn't get anywhere on her.

But why weren't Calisto's prints on the bag?

also if the bag was ruffled up the fingerprints wouldn't be readable.

I'm sure this contradiction has been mostly resolved, but I thought I'd put my bit in. Investigations has to take place the March after T&T because of a conversation between Edgeworth and Franziska during Case 5. When Badd gives them the picture of the 'Yatagarasu's Escape', someone (pretty sure it's Franziska) mentions how it's impossible because people can't fly. However Edgeworth says something to the effect of 'actually I've dealt with a case with flying people', clearly referring to case 5 of T&T. You do bring up an interesting point though. Please forgive me if I screw up or something, this is my first post EVER!

Before Young Edgey knows Young Kay her name age and gender are all ??? On her profile. But in the description of her it says,
A girl with a ballon.
That means Young Edgey knew Young Kay was a girl. But the gender is still ???.

There are three parts to the Yatagaratsu: Byrne, Yew, and Badd. It's been a while since I last played, but wasn't the key hers or something? Even so, she would know since she IS the Yatagaratsu, even if just one part

Why did she admit, that she knew the key was also a knife?
Her first reaction was that she didn't knew the secret of the key. Then all of the sudden without reason she said: "Oh yeah, I knew."
Why? At this point in time no one knew (or at least no one could prove) she was the Yatagarasu.
