History WMG / TurnaboutStorm

** When she was asked if she had anything to do with the murder, no Psyche-Locks appeared at all. It isn't like the case with [[spoiler: Matt Engarde, who was able to bypass the locks only because Phoenix asked worded his question badly]], the fact is that Rainbow Dash could not have been lying when she said she had ''nothing'' to do with Ace Swift's murder, especially since Phoenix worded his question as such.

*** [[spoiler: [[EpilepticTrees Unless that's not a channeled Mia, but a reincarnation]]. There's a mystery that Part 1 left hanging, that's how did Twilight know Phoenix's name. What if she didn't summon the best defense attorney, but instead summoned Phoenix intentionally, following the advice of a ''peculiar'' pony?]]

** Which could lead to some interesting FridgeBrilliance, considering that the cross examination theme playing during those moments was ''Apollo Justice's''.

** That or...

[[WMG: Phoenix will explain to Twilight why he did what he did]]
* This might seem like the logical thing to do as Twilight might start calling him out, only until he explains to her why he did it.

[[WMG:The one case in Justice For All will be brought up.]]

* This is as of yet unsubstantiated, but still a valid guess.

[[WMG:The culprit is Trixie]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash really ''did'' do it]]

** '''''[[color:red:OBJECTION!]]''''' When she was asked if she had anything to do with the murder, no Psyche-Locks appeared at all! It isn't like the case with [[spoiler: Matt Engarde, who was able to bypass the locks only because Phoenix asked worded his question badly]], the fact is that Rainbow Dash could not have been lying when she said she had ''nothing'' to do with Ace Swift's murder!

* [[spoiler: That or Fluttershy]]. How shocking would ''that'' be?

* How shocking would ''that'' be?

* She's an attorney? Check. She can summon thunderclouds? Check. Likes to spite Twilight's Friends in revenge for being shown off? Check. The fact that Manfred, the character most people seem to compare her to in this fanfic, [[spoiler: pulled off a murder with a similar motive?]] Check.

* Compare the burnt object that Phoenix and Twilight found with the Equestrian attorney badge. There is somewhat of a resemblance, although still not confirmed in any way. This is [[WildMassGuessing Wild Mass Guessing]], after all.

*** Wait... [[ComicallyMissingThePoint so you can go for trial for killing someone's innocence?]] I should have known sooner! I'm contacting a prosecutor!

*** Maybe [[ProphecyTwist someone's innocence]]?

** With the autopsy report and a crime scene complete with ChalkOutline and everything, I highly doubt that. Even if he didn't die, they got Phoenix Wright, ace MysteryMagnet and video game poster boy of AlwaysMurder, taken to Ponyville. Something will die at some point.

* The feather that Phoenix presented in court may or may not be Gilda's. If it were Gilda's, though, she would be the viewer's immediate target for suspicion. Considering the plot twists that are so common to Ace Attorney cases, the viewer's initial suspicions may not necessarily be correct. Thus, it is not out of the question to think that Gilda might be making an appearance in the game without turning out to be the culprit herself.

[[WMG: Ace Swift isn't exactly dead to begin with.]]

** With the authopsy report and a crime scene complete with ChalkOutline and everything I highly doubt that. Even if he didn't die, they got Phoenix Wright, ace MysteryMagnet and video game poster boy of AlwaysMurder, taken to Ponyville. Something will die anyway.

Call this a hunch, but in a [[SugarBowl setting like]] MyLittlePony, [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt it's hard to imagine a murder taking place]] other than [[SweetAppleMassacre snuff]] [[{{Cupcakes}} fics]].

* Are of the previous girly Rainbow Dash, or otherwise this Rainbow Dash "dressing in style", as her namesake put it. Considering her reputation as a {{tomboy}}, having those around is not good for her.

[[WMG: The embarrassing pictures are from Rainbow Dash's time in the Junior Speedsters.]]
* I agree with the previous WMG that Gilda may not be the murderer but she definitely has a part in this whole mess and that part being that she provided the embarrassing pictures.

* Let's assume that the murder was premeditated. The fact that Rainbow Dash and Ace Swift were both in the same area of the Everfree Forest at the same time suggests that Rainbow Dash could have been just as likely a target as Ace Swift. Granted, there is still not enough evidence that proves the act was premeditated, but this is still a reasonable guess considering what has already been shown in court.

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash was meant to be killed, not Ace Swift.]]

[[WMG:Phoenix Wright will be conducting the second day of investigation alone]]

[[WMG:The one case in Justice For All will be brought up]]

* Phoenix is bound to be confronted by at least Twilight on the stunt he pulled in court. At which point, he'd explain his reasoning for [[spoiler: accusing Fluttershy]], as well as pointing out that he needs no help from Twilight in hating himself for it, partially explaining the one case.

* Considering [[spoiler: [[TheStinger the Stinger]] at the end of Part 2, where we hear Phoenix calling out Mia's name]], as well as the mysterious Magatama glow before the trial, this one is not an unreasonable guess.

[[WMG:Gilda will be appear as a witness, but will not be the actual murderer.]]

* Consider the fact that Twilight, in the words of Phoenix Wright, keeps "randomly looking at Trixie" throughout the trial, but when she was asked about it earlier, she brushed it off as unimportant. Also consider how the Magatama emitted a strange glow before the trial started. Isn't it possible that Twilight has gained the ability to sense tension when others lie in court, as Apollo Justice can?
