Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: Turnabout for the Ages

(Redirected from Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout)

It's the Grand Tower once again - this time, late at night. The ground shakes violently, accompanied by a loud stomping noise, and a massive footprint is left in the ground outside the tower. The stomping grows louder and louder, and a massive red eye peers into the hidden storeroom of the tower. A small boy stands outside the tower to confront whatever monster is descending on the Grand Tower, and his horns begin to glow, as the beast responsible for this commotion stands before him - the Mighty Moozilla!

Justine Courtney / 水鏡 秤 (みかがみ はかり Mikagami Hakari)
