~ Lance's breakdown after being defeated by Miles. |
Lance Amano is a major antagonist in the video game, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
He is the son of wealthy smuggler, Ernest Amano, and the boyfriend of Lauren Paups who fakes his own kidnapping in order to extort money from his father and pay off his debts. In the process, he ends up killing his butler, Colin Devorae, which Lance plans to frame Lauren for.
What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]
- Although the reveal of him being the culprit was meant to be a surprise, it was obvious to figure out thanks to the reveal of his debts, the hideout having three chairs, and his contradictory story.
- He spends the level doing nothing but following around after being "rescued" and complicates the level until the end when he’s caught.
- His plan was extremely stupid and flawed, such as intimidating his butler, a former criminal, and not expecting him to retaliate or the fact that he could’ve simply asked his father for the money considering how much his father spoiled him.
- Whenever Miles loses during Lance's rebuttals, Lance insults and talks down to Miles instead of being criticized by Shifu or Gumshoe.
- His defeat is unsatisfying as it ends with him crying loudly before becoming a background character for the remainder of the level.
- He is ultimately pointless to the game’s story as his biggest contribution was that his father was associated with Quercus Alba's smuggling ring.
- His design is pretty off putting, particularly his fat face and droopy ears.
Trivia[]
- Interestingly, his ex-girlfriend and former accomplice, Lauren Paups, is also considered a Scrappy.
