The Original GSvsAA Blog

Oh God I forgot it was Apollo Justice’s 15th Anniversary + blog updates
So, uh… hey, guys. Sorry for the delays. I just remembered I had some cool stuff to share and today seems like a good enough day to drop by again.
Everyone knows I have only the most impeccable timing by being absent when I need to be.
Jokes aside, it’s kinda awkward of an update post this time because I bring both good news and bad news.
The bad news is: I hate this site and how it sucks when I or anyone looking at my blog wants to find old archive posts. I hate this site even more now that they’ve changed the formatting and suddenly I can’t just copy paste from the text files I’ve been using for this blog’s project.
So I wanna move, but my blogspot site hasn’t been updated in a couple years by now. I still need to figure out how I’m gonna port over this entire blog’s archives, so my apologies that I don’t have any particular updates on this, despite already having the next part ready. God, I hate tumblr.
BUT the good news is: I’ve updated my Patreon Page. I’ve decided to take off the translation commissions since not many people would be coming to me for bulk translations and stuff anyway, and definitely not for $3-5 a post. Instead, I want to experiment with writing commissions. I have an original story in the works, inspired by my childhood imagination, where I plan to make it a fan collaboration as well. If people are willing to donate, I will reserve special rights to ya’ll to help contribute to this story.
I’m still putting things together atm, but the brief plot synopsis is thus:
A pair of Japanese international students arrive to meet their host living in a small town near San Francisco and will be staying with her for the entirety of their university stay. However, their simple introduction to American life is cut short when a puzzling series of paranormal murders take place wherever they go. As it turns out, their host is a specialized Arbiter of Death - one who judges the most dangerous, corrupted souls of the recently deceased - and this is business as usual for her. However, not everything seems to be going as it should in the Underworld. And to top it all off, she has to be caretaker for a family of primordial Godlike alien dogs who bring her no end of frustrations.
Aside from the main cast, some key plot points, and major themes being set in stone already, the rest of the story is open to readers to decide what direction it may take, what mysteries may develop over its course, and what characters, settings, and other concepts will appear. Please understand, though, that I won’t be taking requests to put official or copyrighted content from real franchises, so don’t ask for a Batman-meets-Phoenix-Wright crossover or anything. I’m technically making money off of this and I don’t want to be sued.
I will be posting the prologue chapter to this on my AO3 shortly. Chapter 1 is in the works and isn’t open to requests, but we’ll see for later chapters.
In the meantime, I will try to update my blogspot site to get it ready, so I can return to my main project.
Oh, and before I forget again: Happy 15th Anniversary, Apollo Justice.
This has been Rubia Ryu the Top Pomeranian.
The prologue has been posted. Check it out here. Still ironing out kinks for the first chapter, but I’m actually super invested in this, so it’s gonna come soon-soon, like, for real.

hello kind translator, I was wondering if you could translate some of Souta’s text from the art book? it’s on his aa wiki image gallery. there’s a bit much, but honestly I’m only curious about both of the staff comment parts for his two “forms” and maybe the character summary above that. if it’s too much that’s fine though! on an unrelated note, is there any place where we can donate to you? you deserve it ^_^

Sorry to keep your ask waiting! I only visit tumblr from time to time these days.
So there are staff comments for both his regular look and his hidden one. I’ll translate them both here.

P1
Yamazaki: During the 2nd case, when it was revealed that he was a circus performer, it was to help cover up his actual secrets. His motions are based on the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkeys. The origins of his name are from the idea of “being controlled by monkeys”.
Iwamoto: Souta was kinda difficult to design, being the last boss character who puts up a “front”. I wanted to go with the idea of someone who doesn’t “tame monkeys” but is “tamed by monkeys”, to being later revealed as the mastermind, and giving players that real impact.
P2
Yamazaki: As a secret boss character, he hides his true self. As the true mastermind behind everything, he’s also a sort of hidden main character. Intimidating, yet cool and collected. Someone whose existence is full of contradictions, that he would even manipulate Edgeworth’s role as a prosecutor.
Iwamoto: Going from “tamed by monkeys” to “controlling all the animals”… I tried to pack in the shock of the idea. In his final beaten-up breakdown, I wanted to show how “the Tachimi Circus sure has a lot of different animals…”

And thank you, I appreciate the thought. I have set up a patreon account already, but actually, I have different plans for it and would like to update it before I make a formal announcement. Please be patient, I’ll get to that very soon. Probably later today.

I am watching turnabout spotlight and accidentally stumbled across your blog and i wanna say thank you SOOOO much i know how tough translating is especially by ear. Again. Thank you!!

Ah, you’re welcome? Haha. I wish I could take credit, but there’s only one video I’ve found on Youtube of Turnabout Spotlight with translations and they’re not done by me. I’m grateful, honestly. Translating by ear takes me way more time since I’ve always self-taught myself Japanese and never had a speaking buddy during that time.
Sorry for any confusion! I do know there are other official Ace Attorney musicals, but I think I’m going to have to put off such big translation projects for now. I need to focus on this blog and update a lot of things first.

Hello. Sorry at bother you but when i go to your masterpost and click on a link it takes me to a blog called gyakutensaibanvsaceattorney but every time it tells me that the post doesn't exist. Is this normal?
Hello. This blog has been on hiatus for a while and I need to update many of the links on the masterpost. This is because this blog used to be called “gyakutensaibanvsaceattorney”, but I changed it a few years back to what it is now. Tumblr doesn’t automatically update these old links, unfortunately.
Currently considering moving blogs, but the new one is still under renovations. Will update again when it’s ready.
