- Not to be confused with the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice episode Turnabout Time Traveler.
Gyakuten Saiban - Jikan Ryokosha no Gyakuten (逆転裁判-時間旅行者の逆転; lit. "Turnabout Trial - Turnabout of the Time Traveler") is a Japan-exclusive original Ace Attorney story by the mystery writer Van Madoy. It was first published as a serialization in Hayakawa Mystery, starting in the March 2017 issue, before being released as a collected novelization on September 26, 2017.
The novel consists of a telling of Gregory Edgeworth's final trial, facing off against Manfred von Karma, followed by a case taken by Phoenix Wright between the events of Turnabout Sisters and Turnabout Samurai. The novel does this despite the existence of two other versions of Edgeworth's final trial, The Inherited Turnabout and Takashi Miike's film adaptation.
Synopsis[]
In 2001, a young woman called Yūko Onebō meets a scientist called Kōta Kitamita, who claims to have traveled back in time after an attempt was made on his life in 2016 and that he must now repair his time machine. Yūko becomes his assistant, but finds herself the suspect in the scientist's locked room murder. Gregory Edgeworth becomes her defense attorney, while the notorious Manfred von Karma prosecutes the case.
Fifteen years later in 2016, rookie defense attorney Phoenix Wright, with the help of his new assistant Maya Fey, is looking for clients after winning only the second case of his fledgling law career. One day, a young woman with memory problems called Yūko comes to Wright's office with a strange claim: she has time traveled from 2001 to escape a murder incident. The following day, Yūko is arrested as the main suspect in the locked room murder of Kurōdo Unno. Wright takes on her defense, with Miles Edgeworth prosecuting.
