Phoenix Wright Vs Makoto Naegi

#### (Ace Attorney Vs Danganronpa)

* They are both the first protagonists from a popular visual novel game series, where the goal is to investigate murders and find the truth. Both games are similar in their mechanics and feel with trying to figure out overly complicated crimes. They also have very similar notable characters, involving angry gangsters, pervy chefs, stuck up people from high families and manipulative leaders.
* They both show up in future entries, even when they aren't the main character
* They both work alongside a reliable female character (Maya Fey and Kyoko Kirigiri). Of which, they contrast (Phoenix is the smart one of the two, with a profession to do with solving crimes while Kyoko is the smarter one with a profession related to solving crimes)
* They both have plotlines surrouding the idea of Lost Memory (Phoenix in the first case of The Second Game and Literally all of danganronpa one)
* They both have cocky, stuck up rivals who they are shipped with (Edgeworth and Byakuya) - both of which only see victory as the important thing, and are willing to manipulate the crime scene and evidence itself and come from highly esteemed families. Both however have a character arc after this into becoming better, but still arrogant people
* They both end up having to defend themselves as they were suspects of a crime (Case 1-2 and the 4th Case of Danganronpa 1)
* They both end with having to challenge the very system they are in, going against a very manipulative leader (Phoenix going against the Head of Police - Chief Gant and Makoto going up against Junko - the mastermind of the killing game) which is particularly dangerous due to how limited they are and the big risk in fighting them
* Both have close familial ties to a young female character who plays an iconic duo in a future game (Trucy Wright being Pheonix's adopted Daughter and Komaru being Makoto's Sister)

### "Fight Potential"

They both should be in a trial - battling to find the truth alongside maya and Kyoko. If you have those two, the fight dynamic is much more interesting - Phoenix would be the one on his side doing almost everything while Kyoko and Makoto work together. With this, you can have Kyoko and Makoto overwhelm and get the better of phoenix, only for maya to chip in to help phoenix and give him the opportunity to get back into it. Both can also have a moment where they are both catastrophically wrong at the same time, with their silly sprites in order to show that side of their characters. The debate would end the same way just flipped depending on who you think wins. The background surrounding Phoenix would go black, like it does when he is backed into a corner as he tries to come at the case from a new angle. As this happens, Makoto is thinking about the case, with Kyoko having given up, but Makoto being able to push through due to the power of his Hope. The debate gets more fierce until suddenly, Phoenix's words come up as white subtitles on the screen, with one part of his sentence being yellow and with this, Makoto fires a truth bullet through it and you get a "No, that's wrong!" scene - basically just a bullet time event. Just as Makoto seems he has won however, he gets interrupted with an "Objection!" Shouted from the heavens by pheonix who proceeds to win the case. If you want the "super objection" in there, you can have Maya begin to see Maya in Phoenix, just how Godot saw it in Phoenix as well. Of course, if Makoto and Kyoko wins, you have this situation but flipped
