Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2 #35 - The Grand Turnabout ~ Beginning, Part 2 (3/3) 

Blaise debeste: says his son is worthless trash Sebastian debeste: uses literal trash to indict his father

I really like how Sebastian starts standing up for himself, especially with that pose of himself standing confidently and shedding a tear.

Sebastian's theme change though... So amazing...

Sebastian....Courtney...two characters I thought will get annoying pretty fast...yet they both become my favorites~ This game is truly amazing.

I just noticed what the story writer was probably going for. A comparison between the father and son relationship of the Debestes with the Edgeworths. Edgeworth had a father he admired and his father loved him while Debeste had a father he admired but his father despised him like he was a nuisance. Just knowing these 2 forming a great team is just satisfying.

Sebastian has some of the best (no pun intended) character development I've ever seen. You can see that under all his annoyance and cluelessness is someone who genuinely wants to do good, but was too busy trying to appeal to his father to actually succeed. He just needed a friend like Edgeworth to point him in the right direction. Not many people are that lucky. Thanks to him, he mustered the courage to stand up to his own father, whom he has looked up to all his life and is even terrified of. If that's not courage, I don't know what is.

After being tormented for a long ass time, Gumshoe FINALLY gets the respect he deserves, not to mention he's extremely intelligent when working alone.

Oh bloody hell I... HE CALLED GUMSHOE HIS FRIEND. Shoot me. Losing his badge, or rather giving it up, really humbled Edgeworth into not being the world's greatest jerk. Also, Fran, it's totally okay to be concerned. You CAN let that show, you know, as more than just "anger born of worry". Jeeze, she's like his mother or something. It's kinda cute, I guess. She's really grown up a lot over the past two years. The Franziska back then wouldn't have reacted that way and she wouldn't so easily step down from the prosecutor's bench, especially when it's a trial she'll certainly win. I love how she sees herself in Sebastian, and that's most likely what's letting her be able to do this so easily and to actually give him what I think must have been a genuine smile, not her usual smug smirk. This, and Fran has a clear soft spot for children and the child-like. Also just gotta say... Manfred may have been a jerk, but he seemed to really care about his family so he's at least one-up on Blaise here. Yep. This... is amazing. Sebastian, I mean. I really, really love his character. I daresay he's easily up as one of my favourites with Franziska and Apollo. Also I am sliiiightly creeped out by how Blaise's voice is clearly the same as Shields' but just... demonic. It wouldn't be so unnerving, I don't think, if it wasn't the same voice as Shields.

Sebastian vs Blaise summed up: Sebastian: You stink, pops. Blaise: No, you stink. Sebastian: No, YOU stink. Blaise: *SEBASTIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN*

39:28 Underapreciated detail: Sebastian uses the correct word "capable" here.

39:27 It’s very nice how Sebastian had used the correct “capable” here. It’s a slight show of character growth but it’s still such a cool detail. This game far surpassed my expectations so far (:

Damn you Capcom for not localizing this game!

Was anybody else screaming something along the lines "HELL YEAH, SEBASTIAN! KICK HIS ASS!"?

Maybe Sebastien belongs in the courtroom after all. If you think about it, Phoenix Wright was sort of a whiny, incapable (or is it inculpable?) kid when he was younger and look how he turned out.

22:36-22:54 Oh... Oh god. Oh god, the implications. Holy shit, someone get Sebastian a therapy session or something, dear lord.

The whole entire game I've hated Courtney and Sebastian. Now I just want to hug them both.Especially Sebastian.

"if you can't do it alone, then we shall do it together" "thank you, mr.edgeworth" *> sebastian strikes epic pose* *> sound of metal clashing* *>> wanting to find the truth plays* the timing and execution of the sequences is just fucking perfect, i can't stop grinning like a maniac while shivering from excitement. one of my most favorite AAI2 turnabout moment along with that moment where courtney indicted blaise in case 4.

From complete idiot to one of my favorite characters. Good job sebastian. :)

Blaise treats and calls his son worthless garbage. It only makes the ironic justice even better when his son uses worthless garbage to send him to the grave.

30:56 This is what I believe to be the turning point in Sebastian's character ark. He objects, he looks confident, and his theme which originally sounded goofy changes to become deep and energetic. Really great change in his character and I love it.

i totally thought sebastian was the most annoying kid ever... but he's all grown up now and he's slowly becoming one of 'the best' characters! (haha, pardon that pun) so many mysteries yet to solve though....

Sebastian's last words to his father in this video..... omg the feels o____o

Good for you Sebastian, standing up to Blaise like that

36:27 They should have given Sebastian a "Take That!" voice clip here. I was really hoping for it

Am I the only one who had a big smile after Courtney got that phone call?!?

My god this is the best case I have ever watched so far in the entire Ace Attorney series. Man why wasn't this brought to the states?! .....AND it's not even over yet! :D

I'm so proud of Sebastian for standing up against his abusive father. I'm also proud of Miles for treating Sebastian like a proper mentor would.

25:47-26:08 The best moment of Franzy. Her character has grown a lot.

gumshoe's character development is so strong

Sebastian should've gotten his own "Take that!" clip that played here.

Courtney when her child was kidnapped: *oh... my child...* Courtney when her child was safe: *Beginning to the Second Phase of Boss Fight*

Favorite part of the game. A great revival, character redemption out the wazoo, and the final showdown against the evilest villain in the entire Ace Attorney series (yes, I consider Blaise more evil than the mastermind behind the events).

It seems that the worst prosecutor has finally found his path to truly become "The Best".

The Edgeworth and Gumshoe bromance feels are real. Bless Gumshoe's heart. And I'm so proud of Sebastian!

To think that everything in IS-7 leading into DL-6 was caused by Blaise, was really shocking, holy plot twists! Loved the character redemption of Sebastian too :D

36:12, and then the words were forever marked in a young boy who will be a new man as a prossecutor!

24:25- Hooray! 36:23- Also FINALLY! The Novice kid finally gathers up the courage, and actual thinking to become someone worth while to be a prosecutor! Felt real sorry for him after he was gagged and captured, and felt bad when he was crying his head off afterwards, but it finally does feel like someone who will do something worth while in court. Just don't try and outperform Edgeworth again and you'll be fine.

The prosecution bench is starting to look a little crowded.

I just noticed that during Patricia Roland's nervous animations has her fox pet scarf licking her tears.

...Holy shit, Sebastian. I knew you could do it. And you did a great job at it. See, that's what I love about the Ace Attorney series. They always manage to make you love characters that you despise at first.

I really want to see Sebastian and Edgeworth team up more now, they make a good pair of prosecutors

Sebastian becomes strong... I'm so proud!

Should we ever get a sequel to this game, I really hope we get to see an older Debeste in it.

"You may have hated me to the very end, Pops...but I... I've always looked up to you. Thank you for everything up until now. .....And goodbye." *SCREAMS INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY*

22:48 This This is what made me truly hate Blaise Look closely at Sebastian sprite and the fact he stutter That just show physical abuse to me

Blaise Debeste makes Damon Gant look like a relatively nice person

The way I see this is Phoenix Wright is to Apollo Justice as Miles Edgeworth is to Sebastian Debeste I don't know just an opinion but also it would have been more epic if it were Sebastian's voice during the TAKE THAT

35:49 and in that moment, Edgeworth scooped up Sebastian as his new son right from under his shitty bio-dad’s nose and Kay gained a new brother

41:42 I don't know why but I laughed so hard when Lang came out of nowhere with the "Not so fast" line and scared everyone.

wow i just realized literally everyone in this series has an interesting relationship with their fathers - franziska, edgeworth, kay, debeste, even lang

Oh my god I love Edgeworth being a proper co-counsel to Sebastian. Having them alternate presentations is just so damn heartwarming. I love this case.

36:32 Sebastian is presenting the evidence, so shouldn't he of had a voice clip of 'Take That!' be played instead of Edgeworths?

this game is so good i cant believe all the cases link up to eachother in important ways its like theres no filler

Sebastian went from an annoying kid to a mature prosecutor and one of my favorite characters. He reminds me of Ahsoka Tano a bit.

I never thought that I would see the day where I would be exceedingly proud of Sebastian.

Also known as "Sebastian Becomes a Man - English Sub"

this trial proves sebastian always had what it took to be a real competent prosecutor. all he needed was the right influence.

"There's only one chance in the life to become a man..." - Godot Basically, this quote represents too much this chapter. The character most annoying in the game became one of my favorites. I FREAKIN LOVE THIS GAME

I feel like Blaise is the kinda guy that would hand out cigarettes and Best Buy gift cards on Halloween.

too bad that they didn't make a new sprite for courtney with a tear in her eyes after they rescue john, that would be an awesome detail EDIT: also, 36:24 is THE GREATEST MOMENT OF ALL TIME

I love how Edgeworth had to squeeze the truth out of Courtney for what felt like hours, while Ray only needed a little hint to get a grasp on the whole hostage situation. This man is much more intelligent than others give him credit for.

I'm honestly impressed he could find a scrap of newspaper proving Blaise concealed evidence but he couldn't find the knife and chisel. I'd imagine those are easier to find.

Never In my life have I had an originally annoying character turn into one of my favourites SO FAST. I completely understand him now. Him flinching when his father came close. It kinda sent a little chill down my spine just seeing it. Admiring your father, wanting his approval, but being terrified of him at the same time. Its clear they never had the best relationship just with that scene alone. Listen, it might seem like kind of a stretch and a bit angsty, but that entire time Sebastian came back, we were given moments that showed signs that Sebastian was dealing with physical and verbal abuse from his father. All his life, he looked up to his father and admired his work. He wanted to be the best he could to gain his approval. But growing up verbally and physically abused by your own dad despite everything, it must feel so terrible knowing how hated you are in his eyes. Imagine the courage it took to enter that courtroom and face your dad head on. That is admirable. Also the dynamic he has with Edgeworth. You can definitely see the father-son/mentor-mentee duo. I wish they explored his character more after this. I just really want some more character growth :,)

21:05 Sebastian gets a. ‘Big damn Hero’ moment 22:04 single manly tear 22:51 don’t touch my child! 😡

There's a very weirdly large amount of Fathers in this game what with Blaise, Gregory, Von Karmen, Dozer, that pastry chef whose name I can't remember

Maaaaan I cant wait!!!! I've surprised Sebastian have grown up so fast. And IT'S JUST STARTED!!!!!

MAJOR SPOILER! DONOT READ UNLESS YOU WATCHED THE ENTIRE CASE!!! It's now incredibly obvious that Simon Keyes is behind all of this, after all only he and Regina went to the coliseum and the fact that he received the call after they went.

honestly it's really so wholesome that edgeworth has fully supporting sebastian. sebastian is ready to do what he must, but there were times in the trial where he couldn't do it, but edgeworth lends him a hand and gives sebastian courage, letting sebastian move forward. that's so nice.

I'd love to see a new Investigations game set after Dual Destinies starring Sebastian after he's matured.

I was fully expecting Debeste's break down to be taking off his red jacket

26:03 aw she does sympathize with him

42:09 I think that is the most profound Lang Zi saying I've ever heard.

22:40 This "you want Daddy to play with you?".... has such dirty undertones, Jesus Christ. I don't believe he was actually referring to playing games, guys. This man was either threatening his son with physical abuse, or even something _worse_ .

Man, I wish this series continued and had Debest become protege to Edgeworth like Appollo was to Wright. Doesn't even need to be a passing of the torch just have them both demonstrate how prosecutors use deduction and reasoning to solve a case. It would be so cool to see Sebastion grow from his experience in this game and Edgeworth takes on a mentor role in addition to being a prosecutor, not to mention it could demonstrate how he'd imagine a good mentor would lead compared to his own former mentor.

From the second case of AAI2 onwards, I actually hated Sebastian and Courtney because they're annoying.... But now that they've changed, I'm starting to like Sebastian. Now he's in one of my 'Favourite Characters' list😄😄

My god,this has become one of my favorite cases in AA by far,you can see character development and epic turn of events !!!!

Sebastian is like Zuko. Once a guy who does his job for his father's approval, now has a destiny on his own and stands up to his father.

From 22:40 to 36:23 and 39:27 So proud of him and the music change aw man 😭😭😭

22:04 Sebastian. Sebastian. YES SEBASTIAN YOU ARE HERE AND YOU WILL PRESENT THAT EVIDENCE

Thats why, Sebastian is one of the best Proescutors.. *"Believe in you, and you are able to get the truth"*

I hope in AA7 the main prosecutor is Sebastian, who managed to truly become "The Best" through hard work and finding self confidence, and that he is one of the hardest prosecutors to crack thanks to his impenetrable logic, he deserves to shine in his own light

27:55 top 10 saddest images in Ace attorney 39:54 and this is in the upper 5 top saddest moment 😭

The freaking ones time Blaise regrets simply throwing away a piece of evidence instead of burning it.

the part at the beginning made me respect gumshoe and made gumshoe hit my top 3 characters

Sebastian has finally taken his game... WOOHOO man can you stand up tall uou BUT it aint over yet :3

I would love to see an ace attorney game where debeste is the apprentice of the great prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and they're like Mia and Phoenix, partners. And then I would love a sequel to that game where Sebastian finds out what he wants to do with his life and thanking Mr. Edgeworth for being like a father figure to him.

"A Character Arc Paying Off: The Video"

I love Eustace's character development here

Character redemption arcs- completed.

2:47 Edgeworth: "Another salary cut coming up then!"

43:15 "That's called foreshadowing."

idk which moment is better, blaise seeing his plan completely fall apart, or patricia realising she's completely fucked

"... Let us resume the proceedings. Now that I may once again swing my gavel to my heart's content." It was at this moment Blaise knew, he fucked up. And it was also at this moment where I was at the edge of my seat with excitement

33:00 "Pops, I'm literally wearing white gloves."

I’d love an Ace Attorney game about Debeste after the events of this game.

Now I want an Ace Attorney Investigations 3 game. With Sebastian as the main character. And maybe Kay too as a prosecutor.

Wow. The title says we're still at the beginning of this case. The end of the beginning that is.

21:03 - one of my all time favorite objections in the series to date.

That bow...gave me a bowl of tears

It's so ironic Blaise calls Sebastian trash, but the Sebastian uses trash to get his father indicted. Now that is debest way to do it, pun absolutely intended.
