Phoniex was having a jolly ol' time, and then Edgeworth showed up to be a party pooper. aw nuts! Merch and Shirts: tinyurl.com/Go... My Newgrounds: doobus-goobus.... My Twitter: / doobusgoobus
Gumshoe being tired of walking around the crime scene is way more reasonable when you remember that the crime scene is all of Turkey and it's irradiated.
the rules you just have to accept in ace attorney: -perjury doesn't exist -physics don't exist -the judge is senile -you have to do the job of everyone in the legal system by yourself
@@mr_willybilly for one (1) trial in one (1) game there was a rule established about having to present evidence if it's relevant to the case, and from the very next case in the game onwards they threw that out the window and started stealing and hiding vital clues with no repercussions
Japan: "Guilty until proven Innocent" California: "Innocent until proven Guilty" Japanifornia: "Guilty until someone else is proven Guilty then you're Innocent"
@@stagdragon3978 I still crackle up every time I even think of him responding with "He really is!", first time I watched this it caught me so off guard that I laughed enough to fall out of my chair
I love how, while accusing Edgeworth, Phoenix just looks so completely done with everything. Like he's just playing along because he knows it's the only way this circus ends.
I like how everyone's personality here is exaggerated except for Gumshoe, because he probably would say he didn't wanna go back to the crime scene because his feet hurt
Well, the crime scene was an entire irradiated country, so yeah. My feet would be hurting, too. All five of them after that crime scene investigation left me with some spare parts.
I love that Phoenix is clearly just super done with everyone but the moment he finds out but he accidentally sent a man to the death sentence for nothing more than being a jerk suddenly makes him really terrified and worried that’s really good
Edgeworth's philosophy is literally that anyone who is accused of a crime should be convicted, whether they did it or not. This is just karmic justice.
0:48 I love the small detail of Maya getting slightly pushed when Phoenix jerks his arms upwards, and then springing back into place once he puts them back down
huh, they sure weren't being hyperbolic when they said "immediately". also i like how Wright says "I MIGHT have killed an innocent man", meaning he believed there was an inkling of posibility of Edgeworth commiting genocide.
@@tylercoon1791 Not true. I mean that is what happened in the video, but it's not always true that people get really defensive when they have did something. In fact, some people get more defensive when they didn't do something.
The first time I played Ace Attorney was on a Twitch stream, and in Turnabout Goodbyes when Edgeworth was complaining about Von Karma's ruthless strategies, I said "Sounds like someone I know" and then I pressed A and Phoenix said "Sounds like someone I know." I feel like maybe it has something to do with Phoenix being a mood, at all times
I appreciate Phoenix's perpetual "tired of everything" expression especially when he was accusing Edgeworth. It truly showed how he just gave up trying to actually do his job and stooped to their levels for the sake of saving Maya again.
Well canonically, Edgeworth is the only reason Phoenix became an attorney, so he probably has zero interest in actually working, and the game never states that he likes his job.
@@Mariofan-lz5gfTBH He seems quite passionate with doing his job, always believing in his clients' innocence and going through hell and more to find the truth, not cuz "oh its just my job, gotta get em outta this for that cheque" but cuz he wants to find the truth and make sure no one gets punished for something they didn't do. Cuz ANOTHER reason he became a defense attorney was cuz he was accused of stealing Edgeworth' lunch box money, everyone including the teacher (who clearly lacked sense of fair judgement smh) kept blaming him, with Edgworth being the only guy standing up for him. This lil backstory motovates him to make sure no one went through what he did. whenever he gets backed into a corner, instead of just being done with it and giving up, he stays resilient. IK you're probably joking but I just wanted to clarify in case anyone legit thinks this.
"this is a human rights violation!" This is ace attorney, Phoenix was once denied the right to free speech in the court room. The law means absolutely nothing here.
I love how the law means nothing in the area where you punish people for breaking the law. “You killed a man!” “Yea I know. I just killed another” “oh ok”
No, I think he meant Case 5 from Spirit of Justice, in which the ruling sovereign of a foreign country makes up a law on the prosecutor’s stand, in which anyone who says anything bad about her is to be immediately executed by firing squad.
@@TheCuteKyuubi Are you certain? It's been years since I played but I recall the real killer and star witness changing his testimony halfway and say Nick was the killer just to show how much power he had.
@@TheCuteKyuubi That's incorrect, Redd White pulls some strings to have Phoenix accused of murder and the entire third day of the trial is Phoenix defending himself in court.
Phoenix: Here's a binder of evidence proving my client is innocent. Edgeworth: No. Screw you. It's not enough. Judge: Fair point. Screw you, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Fine. Here's a video of the actual criminal doing the deed. Edgeworth: No. Still not enough. Need motive. Go to hell. Judge: Another excellent point, Mr. Edgeworth. Go to hell, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: I should've stayed a hobo.
Edgeworth: WELL, Mr. Wright... you may have PROVEN that there is a video of the criminal doing the deed... but can you PROVE that the video was TAKEN ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER?!?!
Edgeworth: Mr Wright, people without evidence should just shut up! Judge: .... Wright: I have heard you would do anything for getting a "guilty" verdict, Edgeworth! Judge: dOn T inSuLt ThE prOseCutiOn!!!
This shows how powerful as a lawyer he has become. Now he embrace the madness and hones it better to the point he became top dog by murdering edgeworth.
@@driftingwolf0 Edgeworth, Mia's Ghost, Larry Butz (but only for the trial of "who took the last slice of pizza out of the fridge"), Detective Gumshoe (he needs a job Edgeworth cannot slash his salary in), Phoenix Wright, The Parrot from Trial 4, 4 clones of Pearl in a trenchcoat.
Incidentally this means that the defendant is innocent! Now Phoenix has to defend a ghost (Maya’s name is Maya, Mia’s her dead sister) (Incidentally the only one with the motive and means to do this would be an entirely different ghost)
Portraits on the courtroom wall in the first case of the prequel show a bunch of balding dudes with flowing beards. It's probably just a joke about how the judge's family has an eternal monopoly on the position of judge, but maybe it's the judge changing beards to disguise his identity as an immortal.
The Judge: What other reason is there that Maya didn’t commit genocide? Phoenix: The prosecutor is an asshole The Judge: Your right he is an asshole, he must be guilty
These games are so freaking over-the-top, that conclusion is absolutely accurate to the justice system in the Ace Attorney world. About as accurate as a CLASSROOM TRIAL too
to my knowledge Ace Attorney is an accurate caricature of actual Japanese law, being that you're guilty until someone else is convicted, and 90% of the time you're going to jail regardless
@@cursedhfy3558 Well, no. Japon is an exception here, most counties including the USA is based on innocent until proven guilty. In the case of Japon, it's mainly to cheat with the statistic. By having a politic aggressive with criminals, they can say "we condemn our criminal here, not like in europe or usa where the criminals are often free after their trial!" It's one of form of competition they use, for the better and for the worse.
@@Kat_B33 "Mr Edgeworth, because you are rude you are definitely guilty of genocide! You will be thrown into a vat of acid immediately." "What?" "Adjourned!"
The last bit make me choke, something about her reaction “Oh we might have oh God-“ in that tone and voice just hit so right. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Thank you so much. Comedy like this makes life worth living.
"I might have just ended the life of an innocent man." Phoenix... That man is far from innocent and has probably put as many people in jail or wven death row as the judge and Gumshoe in the corner at this point for obstruction of justice on several accounts. Edgeworth did this to himself by forcing a faulty burden of proof on your side and also having no rebuttal if he was even challenged.
Just once. Just once I want a case where the attorney proves their clients innocence and straight up refuses to find the real culprit because it’s not their fucking job. Also, just once I’d like to see a prosecutor get thrown out of court for repeatedly physically assaulting the defense.
Edgeworth kissing Wright during court proceedings isn't assault.... its consensual unresolved sexual tension lol but if we are talking about Franziska.... she's baby and we love her. best big little sister could commit murder and i would still turn a blind eye ;)
The fact that Maya is actually innocent this time and doesn't do anything remotely suspicious is scary. That means it was someone even more insane than Maya...
1:56 this specific court features desks which detect if the person seated has been declared guilty, and if so, they promptly deploy a pair of arms to restrain them and compact them into the acid vat underneath the desk
@@mylescorley1978 for you see Mr. Wright it was I that made them install acid vats in this very courtroom to clean all the suspects of their fingerprints. There is nothing you can do. - Von Karma (maybe)
I love how in the first games at least (didn't play the rest) everyone acts as if Phoenix Wright isn't a shining savant, doing everyone's jobs significantly better than them, finding the real killer while working against bigger-than-life corruption and crime and winning the case, in three days, every single time, operating with evidence forged by other people, having only the perjury of witnesses to work off of _ever,_ nothing else. If I was in his shoes and somehow managed to be as good, I'd quit halfway into the third trial
Not to mention CLEARLY not passing the bar exam legitimately, because Mia had to explain the concept of a cross examination to him. Like this man walked in with a pin he won in a claw machine and just repeatedly won cases over and over. The system may be rigged against him, but you'd think he would at least know what EVIDENCE was, and where it was kept in his notes.
@@gingerinajacket8519 That's just it: he manages to be this good despite being clueless. Just imagine how powerful he would be if he knew what he was doing. In retrospect, the "forgetting what a cross-examination is" thing might not be Phoenix's incompetence, but nervousness about the first real trial, magnified to be a good tutorial (it is a game after all)
@@FiksIIanzO if you look at the second game the first case he got amnesia right before the trial started and couldn't remember anything and he still won.
@@Mendoza-yi6qk I mean to be fair he was facing Payne. I'm pretty sure I would make Payne look like an idiot in court, and I have nothing to do with law. But yeah, dude forgot everything he knew and still managed to win a case - that's exactly my point, that's a feat worth of legend, yet he's treated like clueless trash by most people. Funnily enough the only person who isn't directly tied into Phoenix's life and does change their opinion of him is Detective Gumshoe, which isn't particularily helpful anyway but at least someone grows respect for Wright eventually - even then it's not for brilliant defense, but for influencing Edgeworth.
At 0:39 When he said “Where’s my banana !” He may have been the reason why Maya slipped on a banana peal last video to this to the country of Turkey starting all of this.
I love the fact that he says he _might_ have just killed an innocent man, implying that he’s not entirely sure Edgeworth didn’t nuke an entire country.
The best part is that Phoenix blindly guessing the prosecutor to be the instigator of the crime has happened in 2 out of 3 of the original trilogy, except in those he was actually right somehow.
Even on a surface level, the relationship between Phoenix and Miles is unique. Throughout the Ace Attorney series, it's clear these two men genuinely love and care for each other. Once in a while, they manage to speak honestly about those feelings.
@@Sora8740 Tbf Dahlia Hawthorne killed 2 people, attempted murder of 2 more, tried to frame one of her attempted victims for murder and caused the suicide of one man So.... yeah (AND THEN SHE TRIED KILLING SOMEONE AFTER SHE DIED TOO though this part is irrelevant) That said, even non-premeditated murder is punishable by death. The guy Mia defended in her first case was a death row inmate and his only crimes were kidnapping and non-premeditated murder. The Ace Attorney world kinda messed up (Though the criminal (Edgeworth I guess???) here definitely deserves the death penalty considering the crime is nuking a country lol)
1:38 ... Is it weird that without paying too much attention at the time, I decided to accuse von karma because it'd be 1. Funny and 2. Like Edgeworth in that very case, I think the prosecutors should be viable suspects with how aggressive they are with deflecting and accusing innocent people 😂
Hiiii thereee eats her food At the car Her mother car Fucking done with you it the part maya fey for her mab gives some food in the trash can Can you gives me more chips❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
New theory: "We don't know who did it let's accuse Maya so Phoenix will figure it out for us" Also why are Phoenix and Maya behind the bench while Edgeworth is standing on it. Is he tiny?
The fact that the first thing covered was the series' penchant for pulling "Well if THEY didn't do it, then who did? Can't prove shit until we have someone to hang." and it was the most sound, logical part of this whole affair really does put the whole series into perspective, doesn't it?
You forgot the part where Mia gets possessed by her dead sister, gets a new body and an obnoxious v-neck, and takes over the role of defense attorney. And literally no one ever questions it, not even Edgeworth.
Can we just appreciate not only Doobus’ animation skills but his voice acting too? Because holy crap he has such good range and distinction with each character he voices
As someone who beat the Original Trilogy yesterday. I’d have to say this sums it up perfectly. All you need is some other case that is somehow incredibly significant to the current one.
You’re not exactly wrong by the end of the second trial of “Turnabout Samurai” Phoenix proves beyond reasonable doubt Will Powers couldn’t have killed Jack Hammer yet the trial goes on for another day
