I really should get back into watching that translated walkthrough of the first game. I've already watched walkthroughs of most Ace Attorney games and some episodes of the anime.

Oh for sure and I could see Ren making friends, or at least get along well enough with Hyde. After all, one of his confidants is an ex-yakuza. And it would help him get used to fighting with a bow and arrow, and eventually a sword. He's more used to fighting with a knife and a hand gun.
