I think it was hinted in the game a few times. Even the Ace Attorney Wiki says just as much.

Of course, I'd love it if he were still alive for AA5 or something; he makes such a good antagonist.

I suppose they could do more of him in a past timeline or something.

Yeah- I did like Manfred. He was such an intense man. Him and Gant are two of my favourite antagonists. Dahlia was evil, but I'd toss her aside for another game with Gant or Manfred in Big Smile

    Besides being a good antagonist, (and this is probably very obvious, judging by the picture), he seemed like a really serious guy (I mean seriously? He shoots the guy who blemishes his perfect record and tazers the defense attorney who finds his letter just so that he can get it back) who's way too devoted to perfection that I just couldn't treat him seriously. I just have to make fun of him because he's just that serious, and it would be a real shame if I didn't.

      Oh, of course Smile You're not meant to take any of them seriously Smile They're all stereotypes with thier quirks wound up so tight you wonder how they can do their job without being fired XD NOONE could get away with being Manfred XD

      That's why I don't like Dahlia I think. She's too close to what a real murderer would be like to me. Coming back from the dead was way creepy too. IT was great story, but MAN, it's unnerving playing T&T with her popping up with her evil little smile! T.T

        Ja, Dahlia is really creepy. But I spent half of the game trying to beat that smug/cute grin she kept using on the judge. Rather satisfying to finally get her at the end, especially since Mia was there too.

        Well, I guess the only unrealistic part I found about her was how she was willing to jump into the river--she could have died. I know they said she was a good swimmer, but that's still a risk that any good swimmer probably wouldn't be willing to put up with.
