I never found any Objections.lols about Manfred von Karma so I made this. "If you enjoyed this video, give it a like and I may make more of these." I make this anyway!
bruh imagine what fran feels like the same man that literally made her believe that her family has to be perfect in every way cant read bruh bruh moment
I just realised what he meant by "I just tell myself what to say, and then write it down". All of the characters thoughts and words appear on the screen in a text box. He tells himself what he want's to write and copies what's in the text box. *Manfred von Karma broke the Fourth Wall so that he didn't need to learn how to read*
Young Fran: Papa, what are you reading? Manfred: *holding the book upside down, staring blankly at the page* Romeo and Juliet, obviously. Fran: But the cover says "To Kill a Mo-" Manfred: d i d i s t u t t e r
"Manfred, could you read paragraph 2 for us? No, i cannot. Waddup, I'm Manfred, 65 , and i never fucking learned how to read" LITERALLY I THOUGHT OF THIS MEME THE WHOLE TIME
Phoenix: "Von Karma! Have you, or have you not finished reading paragraphs 1-4?" Francisca: "I just told you-" Phoenix: "I meant Von Karma Senior." Francisca: "Ah. My apologies."
Obviously he knows how to read, how'd he pass the bar exam! What's with all the paperwork in his office! How'd he sign adoption papers for Miles! How'd he raise Franziska from birth and Miles from adolescence without reading once! He-- he can't possibly be that good at bluffing! He can't be! He must have read! But then... Manfred von Karma would never arrive unprepared to a case unless he absolutely had no alternative... The only reason he wouldn't read vital court documents is if he... If he...! Never learnt how to read...... Dear god.
Remember that time Phoenix interrogated a parrot because the prosecution suggested it? Good times, good times And that was back before a lot of the weirder parts of the series came into play
I could think of 2 reasons why the judge listened to Edgeworth and not Wright: 1) Edgeworth spelled “losing” as “loosing” 2) The judge wanted the trial over just as much as Edgeworth
Of course you would, after aknowledgind the fact, that the best prosecutor in current timeline can't read at all. Best of all. Can't do what everyone just have to.
The best part is how von karma goes from not wanting to reveal that he can't read to being perfectly fine with it and even arguing that it's TRUE when the others call bullshit on that.
Though, in this case, Manfred never learned how to read, yet still (somehow?) learned how to write, and THAT is absurd, in _reality,_ it IS possible to be able to have been taught how to read and write, then lose the ability to read through a brain injury, while STILL being able to write! For a real case of this, look up "The Writer who Couldn't Read". Long story short, writing was a sort of muscle memory, separate from visual processing. Looking at words he just wrote seemed relatively normal, but in a couple minutes, they'd convert to illegible jibberish.
I could also see Manfred simplifying "I have pretty bad dyslexia so it's a fools errand for me to try to read" to "I can't read". He knows what sounds the letters make, he just can't practically read them. His spelling would be atrocious though. Not just because it's phonetic (although I think Japanese is pretty phonetic), but he'd transcribe the kanji switched around.
If Von Karma can't read, that means that he's probably the best lawyer out there because of him not losing a single case(except for the one with Phoenix). Just imagine if he could actually read.
He could've said he had a stroke leading to reading aphasia after the DL-6 incident due to stress and the earthquake, thus a good reason his break but nooo... he had to say he wasn't taught well. You truly are a god among persecutors Mr. Von Karma, you even persecuted yourself.
No wonder he asked Phoenix to specify whichever page he was trying to prove a point on during the DL-6 shenanigans. He couldn't read it himself, so he sneakily drove someone else to say aloud the words from the papers!!
OBJECTION!!! There is one undeniable contradiction here. Why is Manfred von Karma even still alive if Godot is there. Manfred was put in prison LONG before Godot was introduced in the series.
“Oh well if we can’t use fingerprints we can just use something else” “OH MR WRIGHT, YOU THINK YOU CAN BEST ME?” “Yes actually, since we can’t get fingerprints I got a dna sample of his hair, here’s the results of both him and Yanni Yogi’s” “(Maniacal Laughing) IT SEEMS YOU HAVE OVERLOOKED A HOLE IN YOUR CASE PHOENIX WRONG!” “And that is?” “SIMPLE, I CANNOT READ PHOENIX WRIGHT! AND THUS I CANT UNDERSTAND THESE REPORTS, AND AS SUCH THEY ARE USELESS TO ME(crumples up papers)” “Von Karma No! Wait… did you say you can’t read!”
I know almost nothing about Ace Attorney, but from what I've heard, Manfred Von Karma is an amazing villain and a very strong person. That's exactly enough to make this video 10 times funnier. :D
EDIT: Now that I've finished Turnabout Goodbyes, this is even funnier. :D The only innacurate thing is that Manfred would start sweating just a bit later than here. also i can't edit the main comment or else i lose the heart. sorry
@@stonearucard OBJECTION! While the game’s dialogue had presented Franzisca having went to Germany, the anime’s dialogue portrayed her as having went to the US. Yes, the anime is based off of the game, but some of the details and dialogue were changed from the games.
"If you don't read, how do you know what's in written evidence?" "Someone reads it for me." "...Then did someone read paragraphs 1-4 to you?" "No" "Why not?!" "Because... they also can't read"
"You're my mentor.. and you can't read??" "Papa, what. The..." "COFFEE WOULD BE NICE RIGHT ABT NOW" *Air guitar* "Even Herr Forehead can read" "I'm locked up and even I read" "Putrid." "And I thought I'm the rookie killer" "Look at this utter nonsense for a mentor"
This would mean that Manfred Von Karma is a super genius. He became the world's best prosecutor going undefeated for 40 years, teaching his daughter and Edgeworth to be great prosecutors all without knowing how to read.
