OK then, maybe he planned the whole thing (his assumed name, his will, etc) before his disappearing act. *grasps at straws*

If anyone can disprove that I'll be amazed.

I stand by my argument. If he wanted to create a will, there's no reason why he would use his alias to do so. At the time when he meets Phoenix, he will soon be legally dead. All he would have to do is give a will to him that used his real name. He did not plan on dying that day, and it would have been strange for a mysterious traveller to leave a will when he planned to just disappear. His only will is the pink envelope he gives to Phoenix, which ensures Trucy will have the rights to the Troupe secrets.

Why are we going on about a supposed will when Phoenix is helping to overhaul the entire legal system. You think he'd do it Pro-Bono? XD It seems well within his character to save most of the cash he'd earn from it and give it to Trucy as a nest egg. :)

$10 X 12 X 15 = $1800
$15 X 12 X 15 = $2700
$20 X 12 X 15 = $3600

And all this is based on the assumption that the comment isn't a JOKE. :)

Actually, that's a good point...because if Brushel was being watched, logically Zak should have been killed a lot sooner. As Brushel says himself, he became Zak's standby, or something.
Did Zak really have much of anything besides the performance rights to give away, anyway? Like a claim check from a poker casino in Vegas?

Brushel is being watched-everyone involved in that case was, in some way or another.@_@ And Zak was not stupid, he did not contact Spark until it became neccessary.

You're looking at symbols right now, hombre. No, the symbols used to represent Borginese ingame don't mean anything, but that's a silly way to put it.

Um, of course? What do you think written language is? Just because it's not written phonetically using English characters doesn't make it less of a language.

I mean, I'm sure the developers didn't bother to make it consistent or coherent, but just because they're "symbols" doesn't automatically make them less of a language.

One thing that I never got: why not trust Lamiroir's testimony? Just because "she might have lied to protect Machi" is kinda a bad reason to bring down her testimony. Phoenix can't use this arguement in 1-3 when Oldbag testifies. "Oldbag could be lying to get my client guilty!"

Anyway, Lamiroir's previous testimonies were already questionable, and in this case, she was also acting as a translator.

I never understood how everyone could kick back and think Klavier's exploding guitar was part of the show. I kept my eye on him everytime I watched that scene(obsessive much?) and he's showing no indication that HEY THIS IS PART OF THE ACT. I see him freaking out and like throwing himself onto the ground and beating the guitar out with his sleeve. Did the concert have only one security guard? I mean, it's a concert.
And everyone in the band is part of law. And they have an international star performing with them. If things didn't go exactly to plan, why on earth wouldn't the special effects people be like 'holy shit stop the show now'.

This isn't even mentioning that I don't believe that many of the Gavinners' fans could have been thrilled with Lamiroir's segment. People go to rock concerts for loud rock and roll and Gavinners, not for... slow, soothing melodies. If I were at that concert, I'd of demanded my money back.

It seems to me that Klavier didn't even get the other band members' permission to get Lamiroir to play. He was just all, "I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I WANT TO!" and Daryan's all 'man what's with the blind bitch she dumb', and we don't even meet the other band members(we should have, to at least throw a little suspicion off Daryan...)

Lyrics or not, when you're watching Klavier Gavin freak out on stage and beat his guitar off with his sleeve while on his hands and knees, doesn't anyone think 'Wow, that's sort of out of place?' It wasn't some eloquent thing, it just sort of - started smoking and flaming and Klavier freaked out.

Klavier beating his flaming guitar made me laugh... not to be sadistic or anything. :garyuu:

Why would Machi want to kill Letouse? I know they uncovered the whole cocoon thing (it looks like a jellybean), but before the whole cocoon thing was unveiled, what motive did they have?

Machi doesn't look like a serial killer.

Well, at that point, they thought that no one could possibly have any motive to kill a stranger from a foreign land who they hadn't even met. Except, well, Machi.

This is really a 4-4 contradiction, but it connects to Lamiroir.

Spoiler: 4-4
Apollo is Trucy's brother, yes?

So how come the name "Apollo" has never even been mentioned to Trucy? Or even a suggestion that she once had a brother, even if it was only a step-brother. And for Apollo not to remember anything, then he must have been given up at a very young age. But then, how does "Lamiroir" know that he is her son? Does she just trust Phoenix?

Because Zak Gramarye Is A Jerk.
Spoiler:
well, he was given up way before Trucy was born. Actually, does Zak even know that Thalassa had a son?

Spoiler:
Hes, he was given away when he was a baby. Lamiroir regains her sight and memories at the end of the game. So she would remember that she had a son named Apollo, and would see that our Polly is still wearing the very same bracelet she gave to her son all those years ago. :)

Most of the posts so far seem to have veered considerably off topic, but I will still contribute. Regarding Phoenix giving Trucy 15 years' worth of allowance, it would be no problem if she got what my parents used to give me, 12-16 dollars a year. Being a jerk, Zak probably would not have given Trucy any money, and it would make little difference regarding the time lapse from 4-2 to 4-3. Regarding Apollo's past, Thalassa gave birth to Apollo 7 years before Trucy, so they would not know each other. However, Phoenix's investigations have shown him their connection, so he told Thalassa, who regained her memory after 4-4.

About the 4-3 contradictions list, there is not a single contradiction in 4-3. There are a lot of stupid things, where the police make enormous mistakes. The unlikelihood of Machi doing it is not a contradiction without proof. It is true that Machi probably could not perform those feats, but LeTouse could have a slow reaction time to allow Machi to shoot him, and there are a few possibilities for transporting LeTouse. Although those possibilities are insane, as long as they exist, there are no contradictions. The police's ineptitude at some of these things only shows that they have overlooked evidence, not that the evidence contradicts the outcome of the plot. LeTouse naming Lamiroir as a witness is stupid, but he may have known about the trick. One "contradiction" may have been that, despite not knowing Daryan, he could have described his "unique" hairstyle to Apollo. However, that only shows that LeTouse either decided not to say anything about that, somehow didn't see a man with that hairstyle shoot twice, or is just an idiot.
Therefore, no contradictions remain!

It's not that simple.>_> If you try to argue it like that, there are essentially no contradictions in the series, because there is always some way to explain things, even if the explanation is lame.

The body was transported in a short time, and no one saw. There's no way Machi would have even been remotely able to move such a big corpse in general, let alone under those conditions. It would also be ridiculous for him to do so, given the risks and utter pointlessness of it. The body also had to be carried up stairs and placed on a platform. Then there's the fact that Machi himself ends up on this platform, unconscious. If he had been the one to move the body and raise it, he'd have to be able to fly or something to get up there without a ladder. Also, there is the fact that LeTouse knows Machi, and he makes it clear he did not know his killer, even though it's unthinkable he would not see him. And LeTouse could not have slow reaction time. The man is a trained Interpol agent, masquerading as a bodyguard.

Eh, I agree with TheSteelSamurai. If an implausibility is offered without sufficient explanation, it's bad storytelling, and thus deserves to be pointed out. That's what we usually call a contradiction.

If you prefer it that way, Tmabbbb, you may imagine we're discussing implausibilities, but we call them contradictions.

LeTouse's body up on the platform is the most egregious one to me. There simply isn't a plausible explanation for thinking that Machi did it.

This isn't a contradiction, but...

Why have Lamirior('s double) come onto stage, be introduced, start to lip-sing (or switch and then lip-sing), have Lamirior run through a vent while singing, then appear for 2 seconds? Wouldn't it have been much easier to have Lamirior come onto stage, disappear, sing while right underneath the stage, and have the lookalike ready on the other side appear for 2 seconds?

She also could have used her bracelet to tell that Polly was getting all intense, and then said that his eyes were intense as part of her act.

Lamiroir was no longer pretending she could see at that point. Even if her bracelet could tell her something, why would she say something about his eyes? But her bracelet would not be able to activate. It only works when the owner subconsciously perceives a habit in someone else. But in order to notice such a habit, she would have to be able to see. And at that point, she couldn't.

LeTouse probably did try to call for help, but he was dying from blood-loss. He was shot as the second set was ending, and we know he tried to write out his IP number before the killer even left. By the time he was alone, the next set had probably started. It's doubtful anyone would hear him over that loud music, and maybe he hoped Lamiroir or Machi would return after their set was over and find him and get help.

Hate to bring up an old topic... but while you are questioning Lamiroir in the Gavineer's dressing room Machi is there and says something along the lines of:

machi: (#&$(#&(@*&#$
Lamiroir: But then you'll be alone
Machi: (*#$&(#*$&Q

And she goes on to explain how he's shy and what not and then he leaves. Then we are supposed to be surprised that he can understand English? And she acts all shocked too. That was the biggest contradiction for me.

@theatrejunkie This is more of a technicality than anything else, but Machi wouldn't be considered a serial killer. He only "killed" one person, and it was someone he knew. Generally, serial killers have multiple victims and have no or very little connection to them.

Continuing the nitpick, that's not 'generally', that's part of the definition of serial killing - there's also the cool down period between killings.

But to address the comment that kicked off this digression, Machi's apparent lack of motive is a problem to be sorted out during the investigation (which is what happened), or at trial. Motive is only one of three aspects to be considered for a potential suspect - means, motive, and opportunity. By the version of events they were working on at the time, he's one of a handful of people with the means (access to Letouse and his gun) and the opportunity (backstage at the apparent time of the crime) to commit the crime, and the only one of that group with the means to escape (able to slip through the air-vent).

Motive's also the weakest of the 3 factors, as it's the easiest hidden - someone with an obvious motive would be eliminated by lack of means and opportunity (because they couldn't have done it), but someone with the means and opportunity, but no apparent motive is still a valid suspect - at least until someone with means, opportunity, and a clear motive shows up - because, well, as we see in this case, they might have a motive that just takes a little digging to discover.

There's a Sherlock Holmes quote - 'Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever's left, however improbable, must be the answer'. Given when they thought the crime had happened, and how the killer escaped, anyone other than Machi doing it was impossible. That he was rather improbable - it would be sheer luck that the gun didn't snap him in two, and at the time they didn't know he had a reason to kill Letouse - doesn't eliminate him as a suspect.
