As we all know, Machi worked with Lamiroir in GS4. However, now that we know Lamiroir is in fact the mother of Apollo, Thalassa. What's going to happen to Machi? The answer is obvious. He will most likely have to be with Lamiroir/Thalassa.

Discuss.

I think he'll be in some juvenile detention center, serving his sentance for smuggling.

~~Sticky this topic.~~ I think he'll just be with Thalassa, as you said. Maybe work at the Wright Anything Agency as another pianist, IDK.

Hmm, I figure that he will get out of jail somehow and just stick with Thalassa.
Or maybe he will find some intresting job helping blind people >.>

I don't think so, We probably won't see him again, perhaps a short mention, nothing more.
We don't really need more, do we?
It would be like Cody or Sal randomly popping up, Daryan, Machi, Letouse, case closed. Next please.

It'd be nice if we had the unanswered question answered, iie?

Plus, Thalassa seems like she'll be a very important character. We can't have Lamiroir without her original son/pianist to follow here around, right?

Yeah, there was no reason for Oldbag to be a recurring character, either.

Nothing wrong with Oldbag, although she became a less realistic character after 1-3, she actually showed some depth there.

I'd agree with some of the others though, I don't expect him to come back, even though he technically has the most right to appear again. him not appearing in the credits does not fill me with hope.

It makes sense that Machi's not in the credits, I think. IIRC, none of the accomplices (Except Viola) got their section in the credits, and since Machi was in jail at the time, I don't think he would have.

Well, Lana, Adrian and Iris were all from the last case, which could be something... and could be considered "good guys." Then again, Machi... Capcom's just sexist.

Meekins was most likely put there for the very purpose of appearing again. 1-5 and all...

Yes, that's what I meant by "unanswered question."

Could you PM your old sig to me, BTW? Or maybe make it smaller. :gant:

EDIT: Wait. Maybe he could be in GS6, in the "answering all Apollo's arc questions" case?

Machi will at least be mentioned in GS5. Thalassa will want to visit Machi in jail (unless Machi was declared not guilty).

And that can generate a good amount of drama between the two if we also assume Lamiroir never agreed to the idea of going as far as

I don't recall any proof that Lamiroir was unaware of the whole thing. And if said proof does exist, it can probably be shot down by the fact Lamiroir wanted to protect Machi.

I was under this weird assumption that the governments of the United States/Japan (Considering both the EN and JP versions of AJ) and Borginia had this deal/chat/debate/whatever which would have forced Machi to be extradited to Borginia to face charges there.

I mean he's not even in the credits for AJ.

Machi just has to appear again. Aside from practically being Lamiroir's son, we still don't know why he needed the money. That operation would be a fitting reason, but if that were it, I get the feeling we'd have been told. Machi had to be fairly well-off in terms of money with Lamiroir, so her must have needed money he couldn't get from her. Perhaps just because he felt it was too much or because the reason was not something he could share. Maybe both.

I hope he keeps his sunglasses on, should he reappear.O_O It would be kind of cool to have Will appear again...>_> If they were in the same case... That would be great. : D

Since Turnabout Prosecutor is finally finished, no doubt Shu will be half way through working on the script for GS5. I think Shu knew from the beginning what Machi wanted to do with the money. We'll have to wait for about a year now. :P
