Ichiban walks into the Abandoned Replacement Protagonists bar, and sits down despondently alongside Apollo Justice, Raiden, and Nero.
It’s saddest that this is a repeating pattern. We get a great sequel where the beloved protagonist gives a sendoff like “This is the new generation’s story now”. And then the next game is a remake of one of their past games.

I’d argue Y7 and Y7: Gaiden was better than Y3 - Y5. Tbh I feel like things really went downhill only after Y8.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Gaiden (the Daidoji in general are imo one of the worst plot devices they’ve ever introduced), but 7 was phenomenal for sure. 3, 4, and 5 are admittedly all over the place and products of the time, but each has their merits.
Never go for Y5’s platinum completion though. Worst mistake of my life.
