"Great Revival" (大いなる復活) refers to two compositions in the Gyakuten Saiban 1 and 2 Original Soundtrack, a different composition with a similar motif in the Gyakuten Kenji Original Soundtrack, and another composition in the Gyakuten Kenji 2 Original Soundtrack that, although called "Great Revival", lacks the otherwise common motif. Although primarily associated with Miles Edgeworth, it has also been used for the von Karma family of prosecutors.
Main tracks
Great Revival ~ Miles Edgeworth
- "Great Revival ~ Miles Edgeworth" (大いなる復活 ～御剣怜侍) is, unsurprisingly, Miles Edgeworth's theme. It plays in Farewell, My Turnabout when Edgeworth returns to the courtroom to take Franziska von Karma's place as the prosecutor for Matt Engarde's trial. It appears on the Gyakuten Saiban 1 and 2 Original Soundtrack and Gyakuten Saiban Sound BOX albums as track 28 on the second disc.
Great Revival ~ Franziska von Karma
- "Great Revival ~ Franziska von Karma" (大いなる復活 ～狩魔 冥) is a theme used for Franziska von Karma and a few times for Miles Edgeworth. It first plays in Farewell, My Turnabout when Edgeworth returns from his absence. A version without the intro also plays during a few scenes with Edgeworth later on in the episode. Later, it plays when Franziska von Karma arrives in court with the items from Shelly de Killer's hideout, and makes a reappearance in Bridge to the Turnabout when she shows up as the guest prosecutor during the first trial. It plays in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth whenever she reappears during various cases, but also serves as the theme song for her father, Manfred von Karma, in Turnabout Reminiscence. In The Inherited Turnabout it again serves as Manfred von Karma's theme. The theme itself is a higher-pitched version of "Great Revival ~ Miles Edgeworth" with a different intro. It appears on the Gyakuten Saiban 1 and 2 Original Soundtrack and Gyakuten Saiban Sound BOX albums as track 32 on the second disc.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth ~ Great Revival 2009
- "Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth ~ Great Revival 2009" is the music that plays during the Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth end credits and epilogue. It appears on the Gyakuten Kenji Original Soundtrack album as track 20 on the second disc.
Gyakuten Kenji 2 ~ Great Revival
- "Gyakuten Kenji 2 ~ Great Revival" is the version used in Gyakuten Kenji 2. It appears on the Gyakuten Kenji 2 Original Soundtrack album as track 25 on the second disc.
