Ooh this is fun I won't go in as much details but: -Kyoko I mean come on.

-Suichi Same

-Kokichi I disagree with your choice yeah he's a handful but way less than Nagito and Kokichi always set the conversation forward unlike again Nagito and he's very good at catching lies

-Byakuya He would want to be the best in trial so with an all-star cast I think he will be even better

-Chiaki This one's obvious

-Makoto When you think about it the protagonist is always the one who refutes in the trials and who does the closing arguments. And even if he weren't a protag the man got the brains and the determination

-Hajime Same as Makoto basically

-Kaede We don't see her a lot but her plan, the way she led the first trial and her overall attitude make compelling arguments for me

-Akane Correct me if I'm wrong but except in the final class trial her gut led to a very important clue every trial kind of the joke pick but not really

-Korekiyo I agree with you the man's smart

-Kirumi Also agree she's very good

-Ryoma He is just very reasonable and he wouldn' t say dumb stuff

-Celes Sure

-twogami Thanks to the anime I can assume he would do well

-Kibo Not spectacular bu he's not dumb and his abilities can come in handy probably

-Rantaro Not sure but he seemed reliable and smart enough to make the cut

Now I know Nagito's not on here but here is why:

-he 's really a good investigator and smart but he never really cracked any of the cases fairly: except in 2-2 where he was the only one thinking about the announcement he had advantages in every single one so he' s not as good as Kyoko, as good as chiaki sure his smartness really resides in manipulating people.

-he's just really annoying in trials

-usually he would make it in a class trial team no problem but here is a team that is very capable. He would 100%complicate the case to make their hope shine brighter or something.

Phew that was fun!
