Plumed Punisher

Title card.

The Plumed Punisher: Warrior of Neo Twilight Realm is a television show produced in the Kingdom of Khura'in. The show was inspired by the legend of Lady Kee'ra and borrows heavily from the American television show The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, with its theme song being almost identical to that of The Steel Samurai, albeit with the taiko drums in the introduction replaced with traditional Khura'inese instruments. The show's heroine is based on Lady Kee'ra, while the main villain is based on the rebel leader Dhurke Sahdmadhi. Rayfa Padma Khura'in was also portrayed as a damsel in distress in at least one episode. As such, the show is used as a propaganda piece by the kingdom to demonize the Defiant Dragons.

Among the fans of the show are Rayfa herself, Maya Fey, and Beh'leeb Inmee, although both defense attorney Phoenix Wright and Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth compared it unfavorably to The Steel Samurai, and were even more dismayed by the fact that the people of Khura'in, including the Dragons, believe it is an original show.

Despite its popularity, Queen Ga'ran had banned its broadcast sometime after Dhurke hijacked the airwaves to deliver his message. She deemed it to contain content unsuitable for the kingdom, and also felt that people would be disappointed if they saw that the real Rayfa was nowhere near as attractive as the actress who played her in the program.[1]
