The second chapter of Ryunosuke Naruhodo's legal journey picks up in the twilight of Japan's Meiji Period and Victorian-era Britain. As an ancestor of the celebrated defense attorney Phoenix Wright, Ryunosuke works to untangle the truth buried beneath contradictory witness testimony and bring justice to his clients in court. Alongside the theatrical, self-styled detective Herlock Sholmes — whose deductive leaps are as spectacular as they are unreliable — Ryunosuke is drawn into cases that reach far beyond the courtroom and into the political tensions between two nations.
