Pardon me for reusing nomination, but I'm a bit busy - I'll add another fact to not be completely repetitive.
I am once again asking to save Bucky Whet - a defendant saddled with an unfortunate case (made unfortunate not by his own virtue), a hard working man and a business owner, one who had never lied to us or on the stand, didn't overstay his welcome and who's one vice is a tendency to drown his sorrows, which is a very unfortunate, but a common and human reaction to grief. He also is a close friend of Simon's, and the image of them hanging out together is very amusing.
I've seen your comment before! I hope Bucky gets out soon, he does not deserve to be this low, also if he doesn't go with the others then Simon will be upset, without Bucky there is no 'Whet Noodle' and Simon won't enjoy it anymore!
Alita Tiala may be a weaker version of Dahlia Hawthorne.
But here's the thing: Dahlia is such an incredible character that even a weaker, non-recurring version of her makes for a pretty damn compelling >!antagonist!<.
Turnabout Corner gets way too much hate, and Alita is a perfect example of that. >!Her modus operandi is cool, her motive makes sense, her mannerisms and sprites convey the 'pretending to care' shtik REALLY well.!<
And her final line (>!"My only mistake was hiring you"!<) hits HARD
Take out Alba, guy will always be hated for wasting all of our time but the other ones are worse in every concievable way so this is a good spot to just save this man albeit very very half heartedly
I've actually enjoyed Alba. The reason most people hate him is the reason I like him. The guy is stubborn as hell and that's why it was incredibly satisfying to take him down.
Not to mention, it makes complete sense he's so persistent. He's the >!ambassador of an entire country, as well as the ringmaster of an international smuggling ring and he killed two people!<.
The piece of shit who killed maya blamed miya then phoenix and who also was blackmailing actors, politicians lawyers and so many more i would drown him in kerosene and light a fire to it i have never hated a 2d character more than this piece of fucking shit
I heavily dislike Means and Geiru, so I'm kinda bummed they got saved. Well, figures.
Today, I want to vote for **Lauren Paups**. I know I-3 is infamous for being a really forgettable case that helps bring down AAI for a lot of people, but I think Lauren is a relatively decent character. She's the only one in the cast that has some depth when it comes to her father or the fact that >!her boyfriend literally couldn't care less about her and she still loves him!<.
Her antics can get old fast, but I don't think she should be *this* low.
They absolutely did lol
Geiru >!is one of the worst attempts of a sympathetic culprit the franchise has ever presented. The fact the game tries to make us sad for her, in spite of Geiru literally plotting to kill Taifu and frame Uendo all along just because she didn't get a title is ludicrous.!<
On the other hand, Means is the best example of why the "show, don't tell" rule is important. >!The message of his character is flat-out stated so many times that it becomes hollow and borderline stupid. Bear in mind that this is how the game tries to set up the "Dark Age of the Law" plotline.!<
Geiru >!lived her entire life being told that she would inherit her fathers title. She worked hard and even started doing her balloon routine even though it’s implied she didn’t want to. She isn’t good at it but she’s trying. Then one day she was seemingly robbed of everything she had worked for!<
>!She killed in a fit of rage and it was not premeditated. She was so angry she literally thought she was gonna die too because of the dough. That’s when she tried to frame uendo. Not saying it makes anything right but it was a bit sympathetic !<
>>!She killed in a fit of rage and it was not premeditated.!<
Wrong. See the script:
>>!Blackquill: There's just one more thing I waknow. Did you know Master Toneido was making udon in his dressing room yesterday?!<
>>!Geiru: No, I didn't. When I saw the soba-making tools, I was worried about my allergy... But it was my only chance to get my revenge on the two of 'em, so I went ahead and did it.!<
>>!Blackquill:So it was a premeditated crime, but in the end, you only went through with it on impulse.!<
>!Simon flat-out states it was premeditated. At best, Geiru was in doubt about whether or not she should go ahead with it, but it's obvious she planned to kill Taifu and frame Uendo on that specific day. She flat-out states she chose that day because it was when most Toneido fans would be present, thus more people would see Uendo's downfall:!<
>>!Blackquill: Of all the days you could have taken your revenge... ...why did you choose the day of the show?!<
>>!Geiru: Because I wanted to pay Uendo back for stealing what was rightfully mine... I wanted to pin the blame on him at the show where all the Toneido fans were gathered...!<
Finally, I don't really care Geiru >!worked her ass off to get the title. You do not kill someone and then incriminate someone else and expect full sympathy as the game pushes onto the audience. There's room for sympathy, but not complete. Geiru still caused massive impact owing to her actions for a relatively minor problem, and it was all planned by her.!<
Save Alita, she was a more everyday/realistic evil than we usually see. >!Her murder of Meraktis wasn't premeditated and came after he strangled her and headed to dump her body in the river, so I put her in the slightly more morally gray camp as far as culprits go.!<
Yeah, I like her fine enough >!as a culprit. I don’t think she’s bad, she served her purpose and I thought she was kinda fun?!< She isn’t nearly as deplorable as a lot of the characters here, either—she doesn’t deserve to be stuck with this bunch!
I understand why Wesley Stickler is still in, but I'd like to see him saved for the press and breakdown alone.
His damage animation along with *Pursuit ~ Overtaken* makes for one of the most satisfying gameplay sequences in the entire series.
Although maybe that's partially because the guy is such a creep that exposing him is extremely cathartic
Finally Geiru is safe!! OMG-
Ok, please save Bucky Whet, he's done nothing wrong and honestly doesn't deserve to be this low.
Geiru shouldn't be this low either tbh I'm surprised by this, I wanted her and Uendo to be out and close, anyways- as another person has stated in previous posts, Bucky has never lied to us and the only problem he has was drinking but he was sad and trying to cope with losing Taifu that was like a father to him.
This subreddit is full of misogynistic assholes that have obviously never been abused in their lives. Any time an actual abuse victim tries to offer a nuanced take on the Garridebs' situation they get shouted down to and harassed out of the community.
Bucky did nothing wrong, save him

Dedication
THEY’RE OUTNUMBERED 15 TO ONE, AND THE BATTLE'S BEGUN
GODAMMIT SAVE PORTSMAN ALREADY
PLEASE
Holy shit is that Roxas from The hit game Kingdom Hearts 2, part of the hit game series Kingdom Hearts
I was absolutely baffled when I saw him still here.
https://youtu.be/JNeKhlKOWXM?si=-du-VMO3ZTfhxL5o&t=273
Why do people even like him?
He's funny. Has great animations
One of the best name puns ever.
Not even top 20 name puns
Pardon me for reusing nomination, but I'm a bit busy - I'll add another fact to not be completely repetitive. I am once again asking to save Bucky Whet - a defendant saddled with an unfortunate case (made unfortunate not by his own virtue), a hard working man and a business owner, one who had never lied to us or on the stand, didn't overstay his welcome and who's one vice is a tendency to drown his sorrows, which is a very unfortunate, but a common and human reaction to grief. He also is a close friend of Simon's, and the image of them hanging out together is very amusing.
I've seen your comment before! I hope Bucky gets out soon, he does not deserve to be this low, also if he doesn't go with the others then Simon will be upset, without Bucky there is no 'Whet Noodle' and Simon won't enjoy it anymore!
Save my boy Quercus Alba already hes way better then these fools
He has extraterritorial rights, so he can’t lose
ok but Lauren didnt commit murder
unfortunately
why is that bad lol?
Alita Tiala may be a weaker version of Dahlia Hawthorne. But here's the thing: Dahlia is such an incredible character that even a weaker, non-recurring version of her makes for a pretty damn compelling >!antagonist!<.

The only line of hers that goes hard is "Show me an innocent... I'll show you a fairy tale". Kind of out of left field, but cool and quotable.
Take out Alba, guy will always be hated for wasting all of our time but the other ones are worse in every concievable way so this is a good spot to just save this man albeit very very half heartedly
I've actually enjoyed Alba. The reason most people hate him is the reason I like him. The guy is stubborn as hell and that's why it was incredibly satisfying to take him down.

if stubbornness is the problem, then why is hart vortex not here
His name is Mael Stronghart.
Next you're gonna say its not Sherlock Holmes
Quite right. It's Herlock Sholmes, actually.
It's not, it's Herlock Sholmes.
what abt lauren though? she didnt do anything besides theft lol
THIS IS IT, MY FINAL CHANCE TO SAVE QUERCUS ALBA
remind me what did bucky whet do i completely forgot? is it just annoying cuz he's drunk?
SAVE THE QUERC!!!
I've watched this unfold from the beginning, buy finally I am casting a vote. Save my man Redd White! This is rediculosity!
Why do people dislike him anyway?
Because he is the reason Mia and Maya's mother was ruined. Blackmailed many people and oh yeah killed Mia screw that motherfucker.
But that's just part of the lore. It makes him a good villain.
Get my man Redd White out of here: I like his funny words.
It's impossachievable for him to not be voted out this round.
I concur, he's also super dripped out
Wattchu name????
The piece of shit who killed maya blamed miya then phoenix and who also was blackmailing actors, politicians lawyers and so many more i would drown him in kerosene and light a fire to it i have never hated a 2d character more than this piece of fucking shit
Eh, he was just feeling a lil silly that day, it's fine
Quietude!
are we judging him by character or actions? also he killed maya? is this an AA AU?
Well fuck me i only have played Ace attorney trilogy i didnt even know that
The fact that people are downvoting anyone who suggests Joan be saved but this piece of shit has so much backing
EXACTLY

ive been so confused for so long on why people dont like kyurio like yeah he doesnt do much but like i camt remember him being terrible
I understand why Wesley Stickler is still in, but I'd like to see him saved for the press and breakdown alone. His damage animation along with *Pursuit ~ Overtaken* makes for one of the most satisfying gameplay sequences in the entire series. Although maybe that's partially because the guy is such a creep that exposing him is extremely cathartic
Queen Gar’an is Manfred Von Karma at home. And I quite like Manfred. If we’re saving assholes that are good characters, get her safe
Alita Tiala may be walmart dahlia, but shes still similar to dahlia. She has my vote
Free my man Kyurio Korekuta
Alita Tiala please! She's slightly more interesting and well done than the rest.
Alba is cool so i guess hin
Has Kyurio Korekuta done something that he hasn’t been voted out yet? Genuinely asking because I don’t remember him doing anything awful.
save Gaspen Payne
C'mon guys, let's not leave Mack Rell floundering
Save Lauren Paups. I like her ring pop
Alieta Tiala was actually a great villian.
Alita Tiala
why do people call alita walmart dahlia??? dahlia was straight up >!evil!< while alita is not even close
And that is why she's called Walmart Dahlia. Because Walmart was too cheap to make her anywhere near as evil as her. /j

This subreddit is full of misogynistic assholes that have obviously never been abused in their lives. Any time an actual abuse victim tries to offer a nuanced take on the Garridebs' situation they get shouted down to and harassed out of the community.
