Wow, what a season! I'm really glad that we fixed the entirety of the British Criminal Justice system in perpetuity and that we got a version of Sherlock Holmes who is more of a fun jerk than just a jerk jerk. We'll see you all next time with more visual novel intrigue so TTFN!

The penultimate episode of the ultimate game in the series has a last dinner before the final trial and it's not the concluding chapter we thought it was and I'll take one closing look at my online thesaurus before stopping this description. How are we going to take down Judge Jigoku? I mean if I told you, you wouldn't listen to this so...

Now it's time to play as my favorite playable character. Professor Mikitoba. How this chapter started: This is a sarcastic comment. How it's going: NO WAIT NOW IT'S UNIRONIC

It's time for the British Judiciary to eat itself. My, how the tables have turned... and then had a big ol' boot slammed on top of them.

Well, good news everyone. The trial is over, and once again, we learn justice and science can maybe be best friends after all. Onto our next sea- wait, there's still more game? How long is this season going to be?!

Thanks to orenronen, we're using Machine Learning to write our episode descriptions. Ahem: AI: I should get back to work. Human: What are you working on? AI: I'm reading Shakespeare right now. Specifically, Romeo and Juliet. Human: Who do you think is stronger, Romeo or Juliet? AI: I think Juliet is stronger. She chose her fate whereas Romeo is attempting to change his. Human: Would you like to test that theory by enacting a battle between them? AI: You mean a battle in the physical...

My original plan for this episode description was to modify a Shakespearean excerpt, but you try modifying Macbeth to be about putting your mouth on a gas hole. Better idea, don't do that. Anyway let's see if we can get Natsume off once and for all!

Now it's time to save a maybe evil Scrooge McDuck analogue from Dracula and his six jurors/bosses/henchmen. My Castlevania metaphor breaks down here because they all use fireballs, and it wasn't great to begin with but we could pretend. Candles do get struck, at least. Anyway, VNBC time!

You don't need anything more than a really involved plan and to date someone with demigodlike powers in order stop a raging loop. We're not done yet though as there's some additional content up ahead, but for now... werewolves aren't real or some such.

Haruaki dons his green cap to collect the five keys to save Princess Chiemi on top of Death Mountain and slogging through Kiyonosuke Bog and also Wordplay Forest. Just as exciting as it sounds! Dvac said I should add a line about how the old man is my favorite character and no one can stop so here it is.
