Ini ain’t making it out with this one

[@MKG-2033]

I always thought Dahlia's theme was so much more pretty and melancholy than her character deserved(makes much more sense why it is the way it is when you think about how the theme is more for Iris than Dahlia) Nice job making a fitting theme for someone who would make satan himself be like "Woah chill out".

[@ProsecutorZekrom]

Well it more fits the facade she’s trying to use in court. A sweet, innocent girl who’s upset after witnessing the murder and having her boyfriend be arrested - of course she wouldn’t kill anyone!

[@austinmesterharm8720]

I personally think it fits her quite well. It works as a great song that tricks us about her personality. It also carries a slight hint of darkness to it. The interlude, while calming, when we learn more about her comes across as a bit off putting, and even kind of creepy.

[@MKG-2033]

@@austinmesterharm8720 The duality of the song is absolutely brilliant. i wish i could meet whoever made it.

Nezumi: "Dahlia did a lot of wrong, but the way she's constructed in the narrative feels like she shouldn't be treated as a heartless monster we should feel no sympathy for" Also Nezumi: *Gets her the most evil music in the review*

[@Speed_Tales_]

(This isn't a criticism, btw, this slaps)

[@NezumiVA2]

I just thought she deserved another banger 😔 lol. Her main theme is great, but I didn't want to overuse it _toooo_ much. Figured it'd be fitting to have the music drop all pretenses along with her doing the same in the trial, haha.

[@Luminethereploid]

It's what Dahlia would've wanted :)

[@anonymousyoutuber1405]

@@NezumiVA2I think it really fits. The main "drop" reminds me a lot of goldenslaughter...which is also for a character with several faces you know very well ehehehe

[@WishMakers]

The use of the Turnabout Sisters motif in this crazy mix of a piece was absolutely CHILLING. Hearing the normally peaceful and uplifting track in such a backdrop of Dahlia's... Everything was extremely dissonant in all the right ways Rom M did some seriously insanely good work here

[@LushieTilde]

Oh hi Wish

Song That Might Play When Dahlia Shows Up To Rokkenjima.

[@shakirashipslied9721]

The 19th person on the island - Dahliatrice

[@MichaeltheArchangel1-w5n]

This sounds like something out of an RPG and I LOVE IT. This is amazing. The stakes were high too.

[@kaygirl10101]

Very nice mix. Captures the scheming psychopath under the pretty face.

[@mrmeme8997]

huh, I always thought dahlias breakdown needed a 7 minute long omega flowey style boss fight.

[@slushy7234]

within like 5 seconds of watching, a fucking spoon crashed and fell onto the floor. cant believe shes haunting my room

[@RioshardKris]

When turnabout sisters plays, I'm crying. This is so good

[@ultronversee]

Man this is one of the most chilling Ace attorney fan made songs I've Heard. Very well done

[@capitalchirp2418]

Definitely would sound right at home in Umineko. Bravo! Good job to everyone who worked on this song!

[@shakirashipslied9721]

Can't wait for Dahliatrice to show up.

[@josebarger6020]

Easily the most evil of the original Trilogy villains. Putting her away as Mia and Phoenix cause even in death her cruelty knew no bounds.

[@angusalvarado3064]

Loved when I heard this during the review.

[@StafkiGTN]

HOOOLY SHIT. THIS IS JUST UNIRONICALLY FIRE??

[@AGS363]

Intense! It reminds me of the soundtrack from Umineko.

[@valdemar_bd9859]

Love the changing background showcasing the case

[@bunnyload]

When Ace Attorney goes full Umineko.

[@andifishgallery9400]

This sounds beautifully haunting!!

[@DyxoXinoro]

This sounds like what would happen if you reject a yandere's love and see a health bar appear

[@teaboy0996]

This sounds like some alternate TouHou music

[@ashleyblack7419]

a great combination of Ace Attorney and Umineko no naku koro ni music

[@shakirashipslied9721]

Say that in red.

[@jayIG]

this feels like if solitary deep sea fish and fake red shoes had a child

[@skyescribble]

Came looking for this song right after the retrospective. Blending some of the themes of my favorite musical works together into a new piece? AND it's a BOP? Godtier.

[@archivist_13]

Excellent song

[@Rock1maru]

What time stamp does this play in the retrospective?

[@NezumiVA]

It plays at 3:12:03 in the video itself 👍

[@jayIG]

around 3:12:00

[@PearangeProductions]

Idea for a scenario using this music: Dahlia, in a last-ditch effort to make her plan succeed, actually destroys the entire courtroom (with everyone thankfully evacuating before anyone dies) and actually begins FIGHTING Pheonix. Not with evidence, with ghostly powers. And Pheonix would have to fight an all-powerful being by himself, with his fists and _only_ his fists. No Magatama, nothing from the Court Record, nothing that could possibly help Pheonix. All seems lost until 2:39 in the song (when Turnabout Sisters begins playing) that suddenly, Nick hears the voices of all the people on his side that he met on his journey: Mia, Larry, Maya, Edgeworth, Grossberg, Gumshoe, Will Powers, Lotta Heart, Lana Skye, Ema Skye, Franziska, Pearl, Maximillion Galactica, Maggy Byrde, Adrian Andrews, Godot, The Judge, and even Winston Payne all begin to tell him he can't give up. Suddenly, a new Magatama appears in Pheonix's hand, one glowing the same royal blue color his suit sports. He puts it where his Lawyer's Badge would be, and with the power of everyone cheering him on, it fills with spirit energy instantaniously. Pheonix then rises up into the air, much to Dahlia's shock, now at equal power to her, ready to fight her on equal terms and to end this long and drawn-out charade once and for all.

[@RecessPretense]

I think that this is a terrible idea. The reason the possession works so well in the game is because it is still contained in the trial context. It's pushing the limits of the genre, so it is subversive. Removing that would be jumping the shark because the genre wouldn't exist at all at that point. It's not subverting anything if the original mechanics or context isn't being contrasted against at all. It shouldn't actually be some superhero fight sequence or Undertale battle where everyone is cheering him on. Nobody with any developed sensibility for any media would take the game seriously at that point, it's like a 13 year old's fan-fiction.

[@PearangeProductions]

@@RecessPretense Yeah...not my best work, I will admit. Re-reading it, I don't think it sounds _terrible,_ just too far outside of what the Ace Attorney series' standard is. Admittedly, I was thinking more of Wright in his MvC3 adaption, not how he actually acts in his own series. My bad!

[@shakirashipslied9721]

This is the Meta World Umineko version of the scene.
