Episode 11

Wright, Sminem's most loyal knight, explains his whole plan. He knew that TFI was coming, and Kojima just turned out to be the one who was orchestrating it, another piece of the puzzle. His plan was always hiring whoever the one on Kojima's position was and destroying him from the inside. He had orchestrated everything for the end goal of saving TFR.

Season 5
However, after Kojima's defeat, he vanished.

Episode 12
After BANS reveals himself to be none other than the remnants of Ushiromiya Battler, he explains his motives: He was betrayed, Sminem had appeared before his suffering and being tortured by Kojima, only to take The Focusing Stone and leave, leaving him to his eventual mindbreak and personality death. BANS also blames him of being part of something called Team Rumble, being in cahoots with The Bogdanoffs, and that he only knew the future because he orchestrated most events, and in fact, most of their suffering was his fault, with their ultimate goal to reset the universe.

However, as Saihara is holding it in The Final Trial, he is shown a different outcome, where Sminem sacrificed himself when Hachijo Tohya failed to defeat HUNK, the truth of these conflicting statements remains unknown...

Episode 6

Searching for Wright, Sminem shows up just in time before a group of Hobo Hunters lead by a some kid can beat him up, and his presence has them flee the scene. Sminem is saddened at Wright's current state and can't begin to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't shown up, but more importantly, he needs him back at TFR. Of course, Sminem trusts Vitalik as a GM, but he feels things haven't been right, and Wright's firing just doesn't make sense, and wants a better explanation from Vitalik; something is definitely wrong. Wright immediately agrees, as he missed wrestling so much. Sminem is glad, and in exchange asks Wright to tell him the story, which Wright is glad to do since Sminem saved his life; but Sminem's modesty claims no such thing as he is merely looking after his own.

And for one last thing... Sminem suggests him to keep the hobo gimmick.

Episode 7

The night of tragedy, Wright was getting ready for the match when he got hit in the head like a surprise schoolboy 3 count when you're about to win the world title and woke up outside, being refused entrance. Sminem is not surprised, but they don't have clues and people won't give clear answers to the boss, so Sminem asks Wright to investigate himself, but so he's not alone in the search for the truth, he asks Saihara Shuichi to help him investigate, and after greeting, Sminem dubs them "The Mystery Masters". Wright is unsure, but Sminem trusts he can do it, and leaves Wright with a cryptic mention of the danger a life such as his' leads before leaving.

At that time, they didn't know... that this would be the last time they heard of him... as not long after, Kyle Hyde would find Sminem's body...

Episode 12
Wright's group falls before Vitalik's trained guards, and Vitalik announces the release of the wrestlers... until Sminem himself arrives, just like he and Kyle had plotted. Sminem congratulates them on their investigation and fires Vitalik... or that's what would have happened if he hadn't made his contract iron-clad. With no other option, Sminem decides to take TFR itself to court. Wright is worried about the lack of evidence, until he receives a call from just who he wanted, Wrong, telling him to come to the Coolsville Volcano. Wright tells them his friends that he has to put an end to something... by himself.

Episode 13

Despite Saihara and Kyle's efforts to go with him, Wright is sure he must confront his brother alone, and Sminem encourages to follow his heart and make (w)right all the wrongs he's made.

Episode 14
Gathered in the prosecution's lobby, Sminem's team lies in wait for the court to begin. Everyone readies, but Sminem reminds them to not get their guard down for Vitalik's tricks.

Nevertheless, Kyle is confident and thanks Wright for gathering the evidence, but Wright would've rather have pinned Vitalik in Loser Leaves Town match instead. Sminem too is concerned Vitalik always hides behind schemes, but even as far as suing their own company, it's what must be done, for TFR..."All in the name of guiding humanity down the right path"Then, Edgeworth appears to inform that the trial is about to begin. As Wright puts it, "Let's go, minna! To save wrestling!".

Court is now in session, presided by The MMMighty Judge, using the badass fast-paced initial trial system because he has a meeting with his biker friends. Vitalik asks from the Witness Stand to wait while his defense makes its way late, making Wright wonder if he has something up his sleeve... and indeed, he shocks everyone as he has hired the legendary undefeated defense attorney: Lawyer 47, who apologized for the lateness as some RED-HAIRED FAGGOT got his suit dirty.

The prosecution makes their opening statement: Vitalik has mismanaged the company from health issues to match fixing, and presents evidence proving the connection between TFR staff and the late Chuck's Suck & Fuck; 47 quickly discards it on the basis that "it cannot be read because reading is for homos", a formidable move that the Judge allows while looking uninterested and all of Sminem's team acknowledges as a difficult challenge. Next, the defense makes a statement of their own, "all of the prosecution's evidence is fake and gay, fabricated even, and no real evidence will be heard against his client as Vitalik and TFR have done literally nothing wrong, and Chuck's is a gay den of lies."

Edgeworth presents a decisive piece of evidence—a photo proving a match which had a different outcome than officially acknowledged after the lights of the arena suddenly turn off (that's ground for gimmmmmick infringemmmmmmment). But unluckily 47's glasses are too fucking blurry to see anything and he rips the image in half. Also, 47 would like to add one thing: no hat-wearing attorneys have been left mentally retarded due to TFR as they employ the amazing Dr. Piccolo, or at least that would be if he wasn't such a fucking traitor like the rest of the people in this room.

Sminem's team hangs on to the last string of hope after such demolishing defense...

At last, the prosecution presents its most finishing piece of evidence, years upon years of company records that help detail Vitalik's scheme with other parties such as the mafia and even the president, gathered by a staff member risking his own well-being—Amami Rantaro. It picks the judge's interest but hears the defense's rebuttal first: Zzzzsnore. The decision is clear and the evidence doesn't change anything, disappointing Piccolo, Janny, and Amami, as they've met with a move worthy of an Ultimate Lawyer.

With time at its limit, Edgeworth desperately looks for the missing piece to the puzzle that is such an impenetrable defense. his assistant Therapist affirms he must be on the right track, the defense's posture can only mean one thing, and that's that it's bluffing. If he can pinpoint his confidence's source, he can defeat it, and that's when Edgeworth notices it by using his father's glasses, his achilles' heel: his perfect bald. By distracting the judge by way of retreading on his father's lengthy medical records, he also annoys the defense into going into a rant, and uses the opportunity to steal Payne's wig and throw it onto 47's head; instantly, his focus, confidence and charisma are crushed before he can stop talking. Because, like the legend he is, the Judge... Judge NEVER DREW A DIME! A pure strike is delivered, and the judge finally sees through the defense's lies, sentencing the attorney to wrestler's court after the trial is over. In light of these events, the verdict is set, and the court declares TheFinalRumble... GUILTY. But Vitalik's conviction would come with a price, as TFR is closed down... for a while at least, until the place is confirmed free of corruption (and delivers 100000 bottles of jack to court). Additionally, the TFR title will be permanently retired, as well as all other titles vacated, but it was all a calculated part of the risk; as Sminem puts it, roster members will leave for indies or maybe nowhere and budget will go down, but wrestling will survive, and they'll be back sooner than they know it... with the trial over, all that's left is looking ahead.

To celebrate, Sminem acknowledges Wright's intense passion and his heart is always with the sport, and that's why he's next in line to become the GM and have the trust of rebuilding TFR put into him, as well as trusting all of them to help make TFR better in their own way; Saihara is happy about Wright, for Kyle its just a job, and Edgeworth is too busy taking care of his father (who disappeared somewhere again) to wrestle. Kyle is going to take a drink, Saihara has a certain meeting to attend, and Sminem will be doing paperwork, but Wright wants to go to the arena for the last time in a while to say goodbye, or better yet, .

The Dark Web Rumble
Wright appears to report to Sminem that The Mystery Masters Kyle and Saihara found something about the Bogs, as they have bought "The Dark Web Rumble" and acquired the roster.

Episode 2

Sminem asks Wright about the spy, and Wright remarks that he infiltrated succesfully, but got his ass beat.

Wright feels weirded out by him, but Sminem assures him it's nothing.

Episode 3
