People seem to think they know what the DLC characters are going to be. Just wait till a certain Phoenix Wright objects to all that.

• Sakurai and Takumi are good friends and notably met during the time period DLC deliberations were going on.
• Of surviving smash ballot characters (as in not SPIRIT'D or ASSIST'D), he's one of the highest placed.

• No spirits despite obvious working relationship with a very generous Capcom and Ace Attorney having a storied history on Nintendo consoles.

• No spirits despite Shantae getting two.

• Singer of English world of light theme song is abby trott, who voiced maya fey in Ace Attorney 6.

How could he NOT get in at this point. He's in Phoenix bros!
