Because he doesn't want to leave a trace. Remember his perfectionist attitude. Framing Edgeworth is also a way to get back at Gregory.

Ok, but I am still having a hard following how him having a bullet in his shoulder proves that he was the killer. Wouldn't that only prove the possibility that edgeworth did not kill his father, but it went into von karma? Couldn't yogi just as easily killed his father? Picking up the gun after edgeworth throws it and then shoot him? There is no evidence von karma went into the elevator and shot edgeworth's father.
But why does he want frame edgeworth and wouldn't killing his father have been revenge enough?
That's the thing: it wasn't revenge enough. Killing Gregory wasn't enough for Manfred. So he takes Gregory's son, twists him into the opposite of all Gregory stood for, then frames him for a crime he did not commit as part of a ploy for getting Miles to take the rap for having killed Gregory. Manfred is a twisted, sick man. Killing wasn't revenge enough for him, he had to destroy everything Edgeworth stood for, too, and to do that, he was going to destroy his son.

Case 5 Trial beggining
Yo that shit is so hype.

Oh man, this guy just called me a mouth-breather. I want to snap his neck.
Hehe, case 3 is pretty great.
Early case 3:Wtf is that purple thing on Hugh's head? And wtf is up with that squeaking/stretching noise that Robin keeps making?
It's not really a spoiler but just in case:
The squeaking/stretching noise is Robins brace thing, it's used to provide tension while stretching I guess. I don't know what purple thing you're talking about on Hugh's head. I don't recall anything of the sort.

But they said head, he's holding his bow.
Case 3 minor spoilers:Wait, I thought the bombing case was only the second time Athena was in a courtroom? And now she's running the case for Juni before that...?
The bombing case is the second time she was the attorney, case 3 is the first time she is.

Case 4 investigation:
"So 'I'm fine' and 'You're fine' were Apollo and Clay's secret phrases. I wish I could ask Apollo more about Clay and their relationship now."
I literally cannot process this as anything but Apollo x Clay.

Oh, it's about being defence team lead. I thought she was just talking about being in the courtroom at all.

Everything about it is suspicious. We should accept it.

I bet there is already fan art and doujins about it.

That or Aura X. The same relationship is basically implied, to say the least.Metis
Oh the possibilities.

Yeah that's a pretty easy mistake to make.

This doesn't really work in the Japanese version.
Also Aura x
Metis
Finished Case 3. I've been playing this way too much, it's been too long since I last got to play one of these games.
I've gotta say, though: This has been the most anime-ass AA game so far. Fully expecting someone to power up and fire laser beams before this game ends.
what's the functional difference between an anime-ass AA game and a non-anime ass AA game? ==;;
This doesn't really work in the Japanese version.
Also Aura xis pretty much acknowledged in the JP. No clue how the English handles it.Metis
Aura says that
she wanted to be more than just co-workers, at least. The judge then continued to say "What did you want to be, then?" With some reactions by the rest of the cast.

Aura says at some point she
wanted more than just Metis's friendship, without giving more details . I think there is also another allusion but I don't remember it.
She also says iirc that Apollo and Clay's relationship is awfully similar.
How was it in jp?

Okay. Okay. Case 4 Investigation:
Now I really can't wait to get to trial again.
Captain Cosmos is officially the greatest character in existence. Ever.

there is no such thing as a non-anime-ass AA game
this is just the most anime-ass AA game ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Still got just over another game to go before I can start AA5.
Currently on AA3 Case 5, then I've got Apollo Justice.
Dunno if I'll need to go through the Edgeworth Investigations one at some point though.
I still need to finish my re-playthrough if AA series, currently on JFA third case
(Moe meta-joke is way funnier that his actual joke)
Robin Newman is probably the most hilarious witness yet
see what I mean??? it's incredible.
see what I mean??? it's incredible.
Yeah, I gotcha now *head in hands*
This is pretty anime.
It's still awesome though lol

Ok, beginning of case 4
Why's Apollo wearing some bandages on his right eye. Why doesn't he want to talk about it.
Why's Blackquill so open to do the open statement, when the other times it's been the judge.
And this is the case where the bomb exploded, right? THE FU*K IS GOING ON!!!
