In the video, Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, the game's protagonist, and Sherlock Holmes, a featured character in the game, discuss the famous jingisukan Hokkaido dish. Holmes, puzzled at how lamb meat is connected to Genghis Khan (for whom the dish is named), proposes that Hokkaido citizens instead name the dish "Holmes," to celebrate the game.

Wow, not using a characterization for Holmes close to the original, I guess. I suppose he's not silly enough for this series.

Quote:
Original franchise developer Shu Takumi is participating in the game as the director, and he emphasized that while this game is not part of the numbered Ace Attorney series, it is also not a side story.

What on earth does that mean?

Oh, THAT'S what Genghis Khan is!
