=== '''Bruce Goodman''' (''Michio Tadashiki'') ===

Jake's younger brother, and was the "King of Prosecutors" two years ago. He was the initial prosecutor on the SL-9 case.

 

* [[Punny Name]]: He and his brother both dressed as cowboys, so they're "Marshall"s.

* [[Youngest Child Wins]]: According to Jake, the smarter of the Marshall brothers.

=== '''Turner Grey''' (''Tetsuo Kirisaki'') ===

A [[Dr. Jerk|doctor]] whose clinic had an accident that resulted in 14 patients dying. Something of a prick and easily excitable. He also hates the weather girl. He's the first victim who meets Phoenix in the same case before getting killed.

 

* [[Berserk Button]]: In Phoenix's own words: "Talking about the weather with this guy is asking for punishment..."

* [[Dr. Jerk]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: He adjusts his glasses [[Flipping the Bird|with his middle finger]]. Even in the Western versions.

* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: While he is a jerk and has a largely selfish motive for wanting Mimi to confess to her wrongdoing, it's implied that he is right and that she was the one at fault.

* [[Posthumous Character]]

 

Would've been Phoenix's fellow alumnus of Ivy University had he not tragically died. He was a chemistry nut and Dahlia's ex. That said, it's no wonder he got killed...

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Posthumous Character]]: Killed in the beginning, but you get to meet him in the flashback case.

 

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]: If he'd checked {{spoiler|Alita}}'s vital signs like a proper doctor, he would have been the killer in his case rather than the victim. He also botched Wocky's surgery and fibbed to Big Wins about the results when the poor kid was basically terminal.

* [[Dr. Jerk]]

* [[Punny Name]]: Pal Meraktis. ''M''al''p''ractice.

[[File:Gkogura_6101.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. We think he was killed because he didn't want to share the money, but it turns out that he was forced to take the heat for Ernest Amano, and was implied to have been blackmailed by his son into cooperating on the fake kidnapping}}.

* [[Posthumous Character]]

* [[Taking the Heat]]: Forced to take responsibility for the Amano Group's ties to the smuggling ring.

 

[[File:Mack_Rell_9701.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]

* [[Fat Bastard]]: A criminal and clearly guilty of killing Deid Mann.

* [[NEET]]: Is out of work and wanted for larceny.

 

=== '''Gai Tojiro''' ===

 

* [[Badass]]: He was the only one who could stop Shelly de Killer.

* [[Chess Motifs]]: He represents the "rook".

 

=== '''Teikun Ō''' ===

[[File:teikun_2793.png|frame]]

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Fake King|Fake President]]}}: {{spoiler|The real Teikun Ō was assassinated and replaced years before by his own [[Body Double]], who was jealous of his boss. The fake and his comrades then [[Contract on the Hitman|betrayed and planned to kill the hitman responsible]]}}. This leads to the [[Big Bad]] of the game murdering the {{spoiler|fake}}, as a way of repaying the hitman for saving the [[Big Bad]]'s life.

* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: His name is just a series of words for rulers--"king", "emperor", "monarch".

 

=== '''Isaku Hyōdō {{spoiler|(actually Paul Holic)}}''' ===

[[File:isaku_8588.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]

* [[Serious Business|Desserts Are Serious Business]]

** Also, his {{spoiler|original French}} name is a pun on "digging one's own grave" in Japanese.

* [[Never Found the Body]]: For 18 years.

[[File:kagome_2991.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her name could mean "a bird in a cage", which is a reference to [[wikipedia:Kagome Kagome|Kagome Kagome]], a Japanese children's game.

* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Someone else dressed her up like that, however.

 

=== '''Ami Aizawa''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Ryūji Kamei''' ===

[[File:kamei_4590.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Going for the Big Scoop]]: Proved lethal.

* [[Posthumous Character]]

 

=== '''Bright Bonds''' (''Hikaru Shinjou'') ===

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Love Martyr]]}}: {{spoiler|In spite of knowing that Belle killed him, he went into a men’s only sauna before he died, possibly to ensure that Belle would not be charged. Phoenix suspects that he still cared for her in spite of everything he said}}.

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: He’s a sports fanatic who shares the same last name as Barry Bonds.

 

* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: As he is dying from falling to his death.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: The police, however, think it's murder, and considered Robin the prime suspect.

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Was apparently quite arrogant, but also had the talent to back it up.

* [[Posthumous Character]]

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Extremely arachnophobic as a result of being bitten by a spider as a child, and commits suicide after his traumatic experience

 

=== '''Robin Wolfe''' (''Akamune Komori'') ===

 

* [[Bait and Switch Boss]]: He's initially the potential defendant in Turnabout Gallows until he becomes the ''victim''.

* [[Bald of Evil]]: A fairly shiny one.

* [[Dying Clue]]: Double subversion. The police investigate his drawing of a spider, thinking that it's related to the "spider man" that was threatening him, but Phoenix points out he merely draws what is in front of him when he needs to come up with an idea. It turns out that {{spoiler|the spider was drawn upside down}}, and he unwittingly provided evidence that {{spoiler|he was being restrained on the ceiling}}.

* [[Jerkass]]: Has essentially alienated his wife and daughter. Interestingly enough, however, he’s surprisingly nice to [[Butt Monkey|Phoenix]].

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Subverted; he claims that he sent Bobby to San Francisco to give him working experience and confidence, but Brock's statements suggest that he wanted him away from home so that he could take Eddie to the Den of Spiders (which also seems like a considerable investment out of love for his brother, but also keeps Bobby out of sight). However, he has an arguably straight example, when toward the end of the trial, Lira recalls a fond memory of him drawing her picture.

* [[Unreliable Expositor]]: He claims that Lira had no relationship with Eddie, but she makes it clear later that she loved him. He also denies Bobby is his brother and claims that he’s a servant when he doesn’t have any servants. It’s thus difficult to believe his claim that he knew nothing of Eddie’s arachnophobia.

 

=== '''Flip Chambers''' (''Junpei Ichinomiya'') ===

 

* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: His resemble Sparklestar's, to the point at which Maya is surprised when he isn't the one in the costume.

* [[Gorn]]: Both sides of the costume and his clothes are soaked with blood. Unlike some of the other stabbings in the series, the killer did not leave the weapon in or wipe up the blood.

* [[Locked Room Mystery]]: He was stabbed in the chest, without the front of the costume being pierced. He couldn’t have opened the costume (which is zipped from the back) from the inside, and none of the mascots can hold anything in their hands, leaving Julie as the only suspect. {{spoiler|All this, however, only applies if the costumes are not worn backwards, as he and his killer did}}.

* [[Red Herring]]: It’s noted that he and Julie are not on the best of terms, as he dumped her for someone else. This never comes up a second time, and she is innocent of his murder.

* [[Working with the Ex]]: He and Julie have not reconciled after their breakup.

 

=== '''Oracle Hecate''' (''Oracle Reika'') ===

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]

* [[Gonk]]: It's actually pretty normal here considering that she's a fortune teller.

* [[Jerkass]]: She's described as a terrible human being by Saito. Also, she's like that with some of her customers.

* [[The Precious Precious Car]]: Don't even think about touching her death sickle.

 

=== '''Buck Wheatley''' (Nihachi Kanenari) ===

The former president of Buckwheat Palace and Diana's father, who had an allergy to buck wheat.

 

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Wheatley and Montana share the same given name.

 

=== '''Vale Wheatley''' (Kasumi Kanenari) ===

Buck's wife and Diana's mother {{spoiler|or so Diana thinks due to the birth certificate being switched}}. She died in an accident when Diana was four years old.

 

* [[Missing Mom]]:

 

One of the contestants on the Gourmand Battle show.

 

* [[Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo]]: Risa claims that he switched her poison bowl with his.
